SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CAPITALS"
HEADLINES.

It has been frequently observed
that the Capitals flaming headlines,
and the matter over which they are
placed, tell altogether different stor.
les. The headlines over the Wash
ington dispatches announcing the
little tilt in the House between Jerry
Simpson and Farmer Funston, would
indicate that Funston mopped up the
floor with Jerry. The report Of what
both of these gentlemen actually said,
however, leaves a far different i'm
preston upon the mind of the reader.
Funston "got away with Jerry just
about as "Prince Hal" did during
the campaign. The prince offered to
pay Jerry's expenses and pay him
$25 q day to canvass the big Seventh
by joint debates. They met once and
had just one debate and that satisfied
Prince Hal. He was not anxious to
invest in any more. The Capital of
course announced a triumph for the
Republican candidate for Congress,
but no more debates were held and
none were desired. 1t will be 80 in
the House. A few rounds will satisfy
the Republican remnant from Kan
sas, and when Jerry speaks he viii
not be interrupted often from that
quarter.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The Farmers Voice, Of Chicago,
Illinois, has been making some
changes in its management In its
announcement it says:
Hereafter the names Of the editors Of the
Farmers Voice will not appear at the head of
the editorial columns.
In looking over the columns Of the
issue containing this announcement
we believe we can discover something
that the announcement itself does not
indicate. We fail to discover any
thing that reminds rs Of Lester Hub
bard except in the absence Of his well
The advocate., 1892-02-03

known and unmistakable declarations.
Is it not the case that one of the mo-
tives of the Voice in dropping the
names of its editors from the head of
it's editorial columns, is that Lester
Hubbard is no longer editor, and it is
not desirable to make this announce
ment? We may be mistaken in our
Judgment in this matter; but, to be
plain, we do not admire the tone of
the issue of January %, 1892. 1t
lacks the old familiar ring, and it
will impress its old readers with the
fear that there is a new "boss" in the
background. If this impression is
erroneous we hope that future issues
will justify its correction.

Now that the products Of mines and maDufac-
lures are added to the Sub-treasury scheme,
everybody is cared for except the labOElng man.
The Alliance program is designed to benefit
property owners and capitalists, but seems to
have 1t in for the wage earner.-CGpttGl.
Under Republican administration,
and by means of Republican legisls-
tion, five-eighths of the entire sggre-
gate wealth Of this country has been
accumulated in the hands of about
10000 people. Under Republican
laws, liquors Of all kinds are stored
in the care and custody of govern
ment paid officials, and the tax due
thereon remains unpaid, and is, to all
intents and purposes, a loan to dis
tillers for an indefinite period. This
fsvoritism by which bond holders and
whiskey distillers have amassed for
tunes at the expense Of the industrial
classes meets the entire appreciation
of the Capital. It has never a word
to say in condemnation Of it; but let
any measure be proposed which
would even extend the privileges now
enjoyed by whiskey distillers, to
farmers, or any other industrial class,
and it is ever ready to lie about it, to
misrepresent it, to deceive its readers
with regard to it's character, and to
defame and slander the men who are
endeavoring to Tighten the burdens
now resting upon the common peo-
pie. 1t is useless to attempt srgu-
ment with such an unprinCipled
sheet, for argument is invariably ig-
nored. Slander, and abuse, and
fslsehood, and deception are its stock
in trade. 1t ignores facts; it dare
not answer questions; it is the tool of
boodlers. That grand old refuge for
thieves, railroad and salary grsbbers,
and Indian rings" which
was so well described by Joe Hudson
in 1873, has caught the Capital, and
it doesn't occupy back seat either.

STOP AT THE BLOSSOM HOUSE IN KANSAS
CITY

Delegates and visitors to the ST.
Louis Conference will find the Bios
som House the most convenient place
to stop during the time they remain
in Kansas City. The house is located
just across the street from the depot.
The proprietor also has charge of the
Union Depot Hotel, and the dining
room for both is in the union depot.
Having frequently stopped at this
house we can say from personal ex-
perience that the tables are excellent,
the service exceptionally good, and the
charges as reasonable as can be found
in any hotel Of equal merit

It will be observed that while
fbres range about the same in Janu-
ary, 1892, as in September, 1891, and
in some varieties lower, the manufac-
tured product is in all cases much
higher. Why is this3 To what cir

agreed to pay him 100000 per an
mum to shut down his factory; and
also bought several of Mr.. Goods
valuable patents for cordsge manu-

ing factories were the only ones OF
any magnitude against which the Ma
tional Cordsge Company had to com
pete in 1891. These with the factory
of John 7. Bailey, & Co., Of Phila-
delphia, are now either the property
Of the National Cordage Company,
or are paid to close their factories,
thus leaving this giant corporation

A CALIFORNIA WINTER.
lnudsd sky fulflis Its lovers boast

This lauded sky fulflls its lovers boast
BY its perpetual nimicry Of spring;
But while it marshals ell the meadow host
In one unbroken march Of blossoming,
Something we miss who otherwhere have found
The treasure Of the years first violet,
Or even the sudden grcening OF the ground
with swift wrought broidery OF cowslips set.
Here Is no music like the earliest song
Caroled from vibrant boughs OF budded elm:
Here Joy, that doth It's dsy too much prolOng,
Even with itself itself doth overwhelm.
We pace these level paths with tagging feet;
Rough ways oertrOdden make smooth ways
more sweet;
And spring Is cherries save II catch a last
Keen charm from memories Of winter past.
Our window opens toward the song famed
land
or rose rich gardens and unshadowed skies.
Oh, weary prospect Yes. understand.
Dear heart, the meaning Of your wistful eyes.
They see where our own winter fields out
spread
Their long white slopes thin set with frost
Drowned stalks;
Orwhere snow weighted branches overhead
Transfigure with new grace our winter walks;
Or down the long road, braving the thick
They see the fake nooked pool Of ruddy
light
That from the dear home ingle. waiting warm,
Flows through black panes into the deep of
night.
n heaven were indeed the land they say
OF chilless summer and undarkened day,
How from its fields would we yearn back to
thee,
Oh, winter worldl oh, days Of stress and strifel
Oh, ebbing, flowing, sometimes stormy sea
OF circumstances, Of change, of zesful life2

,Terked Reef.

A remarkable instance of the ten
dency to change and even mutilate a
word in order to give it familiar
and suggestive appearance is found in
the expression "jerked beef" which
is a ready English substitute for
"charqui," the Peruvian word for
meat cooked in smoke, or 'jerked. "
Such a liberty taken with a foreign
word may readily be pardoned when
so happy in result, but the necessity
for changing ''lustrine," a French
word for silk, into ''lutestring" may
be questioned, seeing we have many
words, such as "luster" and 'lus-
trous," from the same root But
there is no accounting for fancies. -

Men with several omces.

A good many business men of this
city have two, three and some four
different Offices. Sometimes these
are four or five miles apart There
are well known lawyers here who
have two offices and handle wholly
different class of business at each.
Interested in big corporations, live
business man often necessarily has
office hours at the corporation offices
of the respective concerns. This not
only enables him to discharge his
mind of all other branches of his
business while attending to one, but
it enables those who have business
with him to transact it without in
terfering with those who are bent on
something else.
The mental strain thus put upon
an active business man soon sends
him to Florida or some more perma-
nent resting place, so that it is doubt
full if anything is gained by doubling
up in this way. The matter is inter
esting, however, as illustrating the
peculiar qualities of brain power and
training. New York Herald.

Tho Origin of Humbug.

Edward Nathaniel Lever, who was
all his life connected with the Lon
don Stock exchange, and died on
May z, 1876, aged eighty, once said
in all seriousness that during the
Napoleonic wars so much false news
of politics and army movements
came through Hamburg that any
thing that smacked of the incredi-
BILE was received with the derisive
phrase, That's Hamburg" whence
is derived by corruption the word
"humbug" If the word does not
date back beyond the period referred
to, it seems a more reasonable deri-
walton than the very labored one we
get in Webster's Dictionary. Notes

Drecker. the drawbrldge keeper. opened wide
The dangerous gate, to let the vessel through;
His little son was standing by his side
Above Passaic river, deep and blue.
While in the distance, like moan Of pain.
Was heard the whistle Of the coming train.
AZ once brave Drecker worked to swing II
back
The getelke bridge that seems a gate of
death;
Nearer and nearer. on tho slender track,
Came the swift engine, pulling its white
breath.
Then. with shrek, the loving father saw
His darling boy fall headlong from the draw.
Either at once down in the stream to spring
And save his son, and let the living freight
Rush on to death, or TO his work TO cling
And leave his boy unhelped to meet his fate'
Which should he do2 Were you, as be was
tried,
And yet the child to him was full as dear
As yours may be to you-the light Of eyes,
A presence like brighter atmosphere,
The household star that shone in loves mild
skies
Yet side by side with duty, stern and grim,
Even his child became IA naught to him.
For Drecker, being great Of soul and true,
Held TO his work, and did not aid his boy,
w no IN JnB OCep, utIh WdJtIS peiuh lipih WV.
Then from his fathers life went forth all
Joy;
But as he fell back, pallid with his pain,
Across the bridge in safety passed the train.
And yet the man was poor, and in his breast
Flowed no ancestral blood of king or lord;
True greatness needs no title and no crest
To win from men just honor and reward;
Nobility is not of rank, but mind;
And is inborn and common in our kind
He is most noble whose humanity
Is least corrupted. To be just and good
The birthright of the lowest born may be;
Say what we can, we are one brotherhood,
And rich or poor, or famous or unknown,
True hearts are noble, true hearts alone.
