OYSTERS AND SEEDS

OYSTERS AND SEEDS
Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. Any one can tell worth
less oyster on opening 1t. The value Of
a seed must be determined by it's growth.
This makes It's quality worth considering.
You want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be of value. There
la but one guarantee; the reliability of
the firm from which you buy.

A NEW TRANS00NTINENTAL RAIL-
ROAD SCHEME

We recommend the immediate or
ganization of a company for the con-
structlon of q new transcontinental
railroad, extending from ocean to
ocean, with tributary lines penetrat-
ing every important point upon the
continent. Such a road would con-
stltute the greatest railroad system
in the world. Farmers should unite
in the organization of this company
because, after its completion, they
could ship their own products to mar
ket over their own road at cost. Mer-
chants should go into it because it
would enable them to handle their
own merchandise at cost. At the
same time the stockholders would de-
rive revenue from the government
for carrying the mails and other gov
ernment supplies, and likewise from
the travelling public. Such a road
would also at once put an end to ex-
orbitant freight charges by greedy
corporations.
But some one may object on ac-
count of lack of capital. Bless your
poor innocent soul, that is just where
you are off your base. 1t wouldn't
require any capital at all. You don't
know how easy the thing could be
done. Have you been humping
around all these years and haven't
yet learned how to build a railroads :
Just look at the Union Pacific road,
for instance. The fellows who built
that road didn't have any money of
their own. They didn't need any.

CONGRESS.

The second session of the billion
dollar congress convened on Monday
with seventy members present in the
senate and 224 in the house. As is
customary, each body appointed COM
mittees to inform the other body and
the president that the congress was
ready for business. Most of the
afternoon was spent by the members
congratulating and sympathizing with
each other on the result of the recent
election and in talking over probable
Legislation. Press reports say it
seems to be the general impression
that nothing of any consequence will
be attempted before the holidays.
Both branches adjourned to Tuesday,
at which time the presidents message
was expected.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-07

They had what was infinitely more
valuable. They had cheek They
simply got charter and went up to
Washington with 1t and asked the
government to issue bonds enough to
build the road. The government was
generous, aud not only gave the nee
essary bonds, but threw in a few mil
lions for pocket money while the
work was going on. Uncle Sam also
had good lot of land lying along
the route that he had no particular
use for at the time, and he threw that
in also. Have you forgotten how it
was done?
Then take another example. There
is company now organized to dig
big ditch across the isthmus, through
which the worlds commerce may be
foated from ocean to ocean, and made
to pay tribute to the company. The
government proposes to issue $780,
100000 Of bonds to dig this ditch. 1t
is estimated that it will only cost $780,
100000, but then the fellows who
have undertaken this great patriotic
enterprise must have little pocket
money to keep them going, and $4O,-
100000 is a small affair for Uncle
Sam. A great government like ours
can afford to be generous, and it is.
Now, what is the sense Of you fool
farmers sitting around and growing
about the robberies of transportation
companies when you can just as well
have a railroad of your own by ask
ing for itG Don't say the govern
ment would not give you the bonds.
Have you ever asked for them? Just
try it, and see how promptly they will
be granted.

ner.
But the outrage is not limited To
the neglect to notify the candidates.
Representatives Of che Peoples party,
who had graciously been permitted
to be present and witness the canvass
Of the returns, were ordered to leave
the room when the time came for the
drawing Of lots Attorney General
Ives protested against the entire pro-
ceeding as unconstitutional and un-
justifsble and refused to be a party
to it. HIS protest will be found in
another column.
After he had left the room, the
precious outfit of HIS proceeded to
decide who should represent the thir-
ty-second district in the lower house.
The Capital gives a detailed account
of this star chamber drawing, but all
anybody knows about it is from the
Say-so of the tribe of Hs, and that
will not be accepted with any great
amount Of confidence by the people
OF this state There is no probabil-
itY that there was even the formality
of q drawing. These men did not
close the doors against all observers
with the purpose of taking any
chances on the result. They had
a work to do and they did it, and
they expect the people whose inter-
ests are SO largely affected to quietly
submit to it. The purpose of these
plant tools Of the corporations was
to secure the house at all hazards,
and thus enable them to block legis-
lation for two years more as they
did in the senate in 1890. Will the
people again submit to this high
handed outrage, or have they enough
Of the blood of '76 to assert their
rights and see to it that they are re-
5pected? We shall see.

delicacy, be viii tender his resignation as

Vindication which he failed to receive. He
ought, then, TO retire without being thrown

George I. Anthony is not that kind
of cat. He never resigns. By the
way, it occurs to us that the entire re-
publican party "wss before the peo-
pie for vlndicatlon which it failed to
receive" and if the Republican will
pardon us, we suggest that it would
be very timely for it to resign and
retire from business altogether.

was in Topeka last Thursday, telling
all about how he was going TO stand

TIE LATEST 1NPANY OF TIE STATE
HOUSE GANG.

congratulate themselves that the
reign Of the HIS is nearly al
an end. The Humphrey Higgins
administration has been a con-
tlnual succession Of frauds from
first to last. A more graceless set Of
scamps never gained sscendency IN
any state or country than that which
has infested the state house in this
city for the last four years, and the
general reputation which they have
established, mot only during their term
of Office, but during the campaign
IN which they first came into power,
will not be permitted to suffer from
anything they may do during the
the closing days Of their adminiStra-
tion. It has been characterized from
first to last by an utter disregard Of
law and decency. We are led to
these reflections in consideration of
the recent operations of this gang in
the canvass of the returns of the late
election. In the case Of the colored
man who was a candidate for presi-
Dental elector on the Peoples ticket,
the returning boards of two counties
made clerical errors IN the name Of
the candidate, returning it as Camp
bell instead of Cabbell. Throwing
out Mr.. Cabbell's vote in these coun-
ties gave a majority to the republican
elector, and Notwithstanding COR
rected returns were received before
the work Of the csnvassing board was
completed, together with afidsvitS
certifying that the tickets were all
right and that the error was purely a
clerical one, this board refused to
make the correction and decided to
issue the certificate Of election to the
republican.
But the most reprehensible outrage
in the whole proceeding was in con-
nection with the tie vote for member
Of the legislature in Coffey county.
We have a republican-made law upon
our statute books prescribing q |
method of procedure In such cases
which is a disgrace to our boasted
civilization, and the csnvassing board
made q pretense Of complying with
this law. Had they carried out its
provisions in good faith they might
have justly escaped censure, but in q |
case Of so much importance they |
were unwilling to take the chances Of
common gamblers, as the law directs
them to do. The section relating to |
such cases is as follows:
SECTION 49, II any two Orm0re persons have |
an eq lal number Of votes for any state ONCE ex-
oopt governor and lieutenant governor or for \
member Of the senate and house Of representa- /
lives, and higher number than any other per-

vided for was not conducted accord

Investigating the Oyster.

The oyster is in bad repute in England
In fact, he is said to be leagued with
typhoid Fever for the purpose of killing off
fashions Die London. The disgrace into
which the luscious bivalve has fallen is
due to the fact that Prince George of
Wales, the present heir presumptive to the
British throne, was taken i'll with typhoid
symptoms just prior to the fatal illness of
his brother, the Duke of Clarence. 1t was
alleged at the time by the wise physicians
that Prince Georges sickness was directly
attributable to typhoid germ taken into
his system through the medium of the Sc
ductive and succulent oyster. Many of
the English oysters are taken near the
places where the sewage of the cities is
emptied, and it was believed that the she'll
fish of which the prince partook had be-
come infected. At any rate, IN investiga-
ton is in progress which must result in
good. Meanwhile fashionable London is
not eating oysters.
