Mrs. Hull is not only intelligent
aud cultured but highly intellectu-
al. As . lecturer she is argumen-
tative and eloquent, and in man.
ner most respectful and diguifed,
giving offence to no one. In dis
cussing the subject of spiritual
ism. so little understood, she don't
devote much time to spiritualism
in its phenomenal aspects, won
derful and startling as they are,
but delights in portraying its phil
osophy and beautiful moral teach
ings.
She treats spiritualism as . re-
ligion permeatlng and reforming
all other religions of the world,
and welding an influence more
potent than every other agency
in modifying and revolutionizing
the religions thought OF the nine
teenth century. AS an exponent
of modern spifitualism Mrs. Hull
teaches that the spirit world which
is as reel as the natural world is
mysteriously interblended with
the natural world and not fai
away. That what we SOW IN this
life we shall reap in the life to
come. In other words, that the
deeds done in the body will de.
ltermine our condition in the after
life. and that all our wrongdoings
and shortcomings in this life mus,
be attOned for here or hereafter
before we can attain to perfect
happiness in the world to come
That death is the result of nat
ural law and a new birth into 9
higher and better life. The natu

this country is narrowed to a struggle
between few thousand arrogant absorb
ers Of wealth on the onS hand, and the
people, the million helpless toilers, on
the other?
To show how far men like Mr.. Cleve-
land have fallen from true democracy, let
me quote from what he said in 1885,
prior to his'inauguration: at is Of mo-
mentous Importance to prevent the two
metals from parting company. Such a
financial crisis would involve the people
= = in prolonged and disastrous
trouble. = Gold would be with
drawn to its hiding places, and unpre-
cedented contraction Of our
currency would speedily take place. Sad
dest Of all, in every workshop, mill, fac
tory, store, and on every railroad, and
from the wages of labor, already de-
pressed, we would suffer still further
depreciation by the scaling down Of the
purchasing power Of every socalled dol
lar paid into the hand of toll.
Am / not justified in lifting a warning
voice against any further following Of
Mr.. Cleveland on the part of true demo-
Gratis, when it is so plain that he knows
well the terrible disasters to follow the
adoption of the very principles he, in
common with the leaders Of the republi-
can party, are now SO persistently sdvo-
eating? Though not man stand with
me, l for one will neither directly nor
indirectly give aid to parties advocating
such ruinous measures.

find not only the treasury department
but the United States senate, also, had
been dsbauched by the German Lloyd
Steamship Company, to the extent that
necessary legislation in the senate touch
ing immigration could only be had by
consent OF that company. Il viii be in

to the scandalous charge, il possible
more infamous than the Panama canal

talking about, and it 10 doubtful il the
senate appoints committee Of investi-
cation to probe the matter, unless Mr..
Chandler by further illusions to the
outrage makes silence speak louder than

largely Of millionaire nRbobs-men who

The use of coffee is now universal, and
the many thousands who daily enjoy q
cup made from the famous Midland blend
Of package coffee will be pleased to know
that the Midland Coffee & Spice Co.
are now placing on the market the Mid

to be absolutely pure, wholesome, and
up to the high standard OF merit held by
their coffee. Readers will confer favor
on all concerned by insisting upon their
grocer furnishing them the Midland

The Arena Publishing Company has
issued a book Of poems by Benjamin
Hathaway, entitled "The Finished Crea-
tion," which is notable for it's wholesome,
hopeful spirit. Lovers Of the myths of
antiquity will enjoy the fresh and origi-
nal style 10 which they are retold and
modernizsd. Their new interpretation
and application makes the nineteenth
century man feel his near kinship to the
life and thought Of the men Of centuries
ago. Especially will Kansas women, who
devoutly believe that woman should
rightfully occupy large place in the
economy of affairs, delight in the domes-
tic squsbble between Isis and Osiris.
Madam Isis finally triumphs and Ruc-
ceeds in convincing Mr.. Osiris that she
is q very essential factor in the manage
ment Of the business Of life. The author
is q farmer whose long life OF nearly
seventy years has been spent in hard
and constant manual toll. He owns q
small printing outfit, and set the type Of
every page Of this, his last volume Of
poems. There is much serious and noble
thought in the book.

Senator 0handleTs Sensation.

In the United States senate, January
7, Senator Chandler delivered speech
against immigration, in which he de-
clsred, in effect, that "the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company had, by
the distribution Of courtesies, acquired
such influence over his fellow senator's,
over the secretary Of the treasury and
his chief subordinates, and over the
newspaper press in general, as to make
legislation restricting immigration only
possible by the consent Of the company.
Mr.. Chandler boldly stated that this
particular company was the fsvorite Of
the treasury department, and that this
company furnished leading treasury
officials with transportation to Europe

A Leading Firm.

The popular firm Of Hale & Mcintosh,
Kansas City stock yards, topped the
market by selling the first car of hogs
that brought $675, which was the largest
price paid for hogs since 1885,. They also
sold the first car that brought 81, and
the first and only one to date that
brought SO. This firm is noted for get
ting top prices on stock consigned to
them, as they are experienced men in
their business. Mr.. Mcintosh, who ID
widely known by shippers and stockmen,
gives his personal attention to ell sales,
and, as the above shows, gets the highest
prices for his customers. Readers should
give them trial.

Significance Of Name.

the earlier periods Of Biblical history, all
proper names were significant Of the
leading qualities or characteristics Of
the person or thing named For instance,
Joshua, Moses successor, whom the
Divine Providence raised up to deliver
the children Of Israel from their wilder
ness journeyings, and domicile them in
the promised land, signifies savior" or
"deliverer."
For my present purpose, this one illus
trRtion must suffice. This custom, in 80
fer as the naming Of children, at birth, ls
concerned, has almost wholly ceased, be-
cause in our present dsrkened spiritual
stats parents perceive little or nothing
of the mental qualities Of the child at its
birth. Some relics of this ancient Gus
tom, however, are still seen in the nam
ing Of institutions and sOoietary organ
izstions; such, for instance, as the
democratic" party. The meaning Of
this name evidently was to signify that
this party would advocate government
Of, for and by the whole people.
AS 1t is my intention to confne these
remarks to matters relating to present
political and economic movements in
this country, lot me here ask few ques.
tions: First, if, after Joshua, with the
children of Israel, passed into the prom
ised land, he mad joined the enemy's
forces and led them In battle array
against his own people, would sensible,
loyal Israelites have longer clung to him
simply because he still was called
"Joshus?" II any had, under these cir
cumstances, SO adhered, what would
Bible readers Of the present day think Of
such blind duplicity? An enemy is an
enemy, no matter what he is called.
David stood in the breach between Go
liath and the Hebrews, and with his
sling smete to death the giant. But after
he became murderer and an adulterer,
he was still called David. Who would
now advocate the practice Of these foul
crimes, simply because committed by
one who was once the synonym Of all
virtue and honor?
Along with all true and intelligent
democrats, the writer admires the ster-
ling democracy of Thomas Jefferson and
Andrew Jackson. Now let all true dem
ocrats pause and think of the course pur-
sued by the latter in his noble stand in
defense of the people against q further
continuance of the old United States
bank of Philadelphia Ian exact counter
part of oul present national banks), and
then see how far the conduct Of the pres
emit leaders Of the national democratic
party can be reconciled with that of those
grand old statesmen. Where is Presi-
dent elect Cleveland to-day? Is he not
hand-in-glove with Benjamin Harrison,
fighting not only against free coinage Of
silver, but also assisting the arch traitor
of all lands and Of all ages John Sher-
MANI in trying to wipe from our statutes
the recognition Of silver, whether bullion
or coin? Is he not in the closest touch
with Wall street and all the great mo-
nopolistic corporations whose domination
Of legislation is drawing from the toiling
millions their very life blood? And
where, excepting among few thousands
