At least two hundred people from the

H.
democrat interested in Kansas contest
writes: "In regard to the action of the
democrats in Kansas I do not think
anyone, unless he is on the spot, can
give a valuable opinion. If the good
democrats of Kansrs decide upon a
course after due deliberation, the pre-
sumption with me, e L lived in the
state, would be that such course was
one I could safely follow" The ex-
president puts it very hapily as he puts
all his ideas. He does not assume to
dictate OF to even express a wish but
nevertheless clearly intimates what
democratic duty is under the circum-
stances-and that is to follow thes
course decided upon fairly and after
due deliberation by the regular party
organization.-Kansas City Times.
THE strength of the three parties in
Kansas is not materially changed from
what it was in 1890. The vote that
year was: Rep. lis, OPS; Peoples 1O6,-
972; Resub. and Dem. 1857. The
combined democrat-resubmiss and
peoples party vote of that year would
be lis. S.529; or a majority over the re-
publican vote OF IS ,304. Republicans
claim that there were % 600 resubmis-
the Robinson ticket, and that that 25,-
600 will vote for Smith, prohibition
and womans suffrage this year. Allow
that there were that many land any
posted man knows there were notl and
let them vote the republican ticket this
fall, and the combined opposition 10
the repH blican ticket would still he
Is 1857, according to the vote of 1890.
1t should be remembered that no allow
| ance is made in this estimate for the
growth Of the peoples party, or for its
falling off; and our judgment is that it
has about held the vote it had in 1890.
If any change has occurred it has been
in the loss of ex-democratS and the
gaining of ex-republicans- that at least
is the situation in this county. There
will not be 1000 democrats in the
whole state who will in any manner aid
the republican party, and there will be
60. 900 democrats who will vote their
party ticket from top to bottom.
Give the republicans the resuSmission
vote, the 1000 kickers, and the endrsed
ticket VIII be elected by over
900 votes. Is it any wonder the
republicans are nursing big sore; that
the sore is raw, aggravating. supperat-
ing, sloughing off. inflamed and full of
puss? Is it any wonder that the cup of
their bitterness is full, and that they
are driven to desperation; that they
are hiring mercenaries, flooding The
country with Doodle, raking up all the
stale old war stories and desperately
Haunting the ensanguined shirt in the
faces of disguised public? No, it is
no wonder, for their day of retribution
has come, and the darkness OF desola-
ton hovers over them like a cyclone

Beware of a Summer Cold.

The man who catches cold in the sum-
mer time is surely to be pitied. One Of
these people deserving of sympathy is
Bernard Aldrich, a wealthy Chicago
man. Describing his feelings the other
day he said. "There is something in my
head that buzzes like a sawmill. my
eyes pain me continually as if they had
been dashed with vitriol, and use a
dozen handkerchiefs a day in vain eff
fort to supply the demands of my nose.
Then, too, the doctors tell me that
summer cold is much more dangerous
than the winter cold, because the atmos-
phere and the system invite it to
longer stay, and that if the unlucky
mortal afflicted with it is inclined to
tuberculosis he is almost certainly
doomed. Therefore beware of the mid
summer cold in the head. Don't sit in
draft and maybe you'll escape it,"

Forest Trees in Gardens.

According to DR.. Chapman, the prac-
tice of allowing forest trees to grow in
our gardens "only prejudices the health
of our families" The so called purify
ing power of vegetation is fallacy. If
carbonic acid gas is absorbed by trees
in tho daytime it is exhaled during the
night. Dense foliage prevents free
current of air, excludes the sunlight,
causes damp and SO on, and maladies
without number are the result. DR..
Chapman's warning seems hardly neces-
sary, in oursiarge cities at least. Lon

desire once more to bear my testimony to
the value of ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs.
1 have used them for twenty-five years past,
and can conscientiously recommend them as the
best external remedy that have known. Years
ago, when thrown from carriage and seriously
injured, gave them thorough trial. In very
short time the pain that was suffering disap-
peared, and within week I was entirely re-
lieved. On another occasion, when suffering
from severe cough, which threatened pulmo-
nary difficulties, which was recommended to
90 to Florida to relieve. determined to test the
plasters again. applied them to my chest and
between the shoulder blades, and in less than
fortnight was entirely cured. On still another
occasion when suffering from an attack of rheu-
matism in the shoulder to such an extent that
could scarcely raise my arm, again resorted to
the plasters, and within a very few days the
rheumatism entirely disappeared. have them
constantly by me, whether at home or abroad.
My family as well as myself have found them to
be a sovereign remedy, both for external and
internal troubles. I never had but one kidney
difficulty in my life, and the application of the
plasters cured me in a week. desire, as l said
before, to bear testimony in public way to
their efficacy and know of no better way of
doing it than by giving you my personal expe-
uence."
