By Order of Committee

ELI PERKINS tells the following story
on Emporia. He says: while passing
through Emporia, Kansas, there was a
woman,s rights convention going on at
the opera house. AS 1 stepped in I
heard wcman's voice, full of pathos
and eloquence, asking solemn questions:
is there a man in this audience
that has ever done anything to tighten
the burdens resting on his wife's
shoulders? What do men know of
woman's work? Is there one man here
folding her arms and looking over her
audience with superb scorn) that ever
got up in the morning. leaving his tired,
WORKOUT wife to enjoy her slumbers,
went quietly down stairs, made the fire
cooked bis own breakfast. sewed the
missing buttons on the children's
clothes, darned the family stockings,
secured the pots and kettles, cleaned
and oiled the lamps, swept the kitchen,
and did all this, if necessary, day after
day without complaint? If there is
such a man in this audience, let him
arise. I should like to see him. And
away back in the rear of the lecture
room mild looking man in spsctacles
timidIy arouse He was the husband
of the eloquent speaker. 1t was the
first chance he ever had to assert him.

Calamity HoWler.

The republican papers of Kansas are
noted for their silly course. They never
stop to think Or count on the effect of
their action.
When the farmers alliance was first
organized and began to teach political
economy in the country school houses,
these republican papers that never at
tempt to argue a national issue, set up
the howl that Kansas was in great dam
ger of being ru;'"d by class of
anarchists. ANARCHY consisted in show
ing that the robber tarili e tie repub-
lican party and the John Sherman class
of republican fnanciers were robbing
the producers of this state.
Too cowardly or too ignorant to meet
the issue these republican papers have
repeated calamity as parrot squalls
''Polly wants a cracker" And they are
all the time calling the populists the
calamity howlers.
Who has said that Kansas is filled
with a dangerous class of anarchists?
Nobody but republicans and republic
can papers.
Who published to the world that the
farmers of Kansas were going to repu-
diate their mortgage debt?
The republican papers.
Who is setting up the claim that the
credit of Kansas is ruined?
The republican papers Wichita
Beacon.

1.-THE time has passed by IN Kansas
when few men of any political party
can dictate slate from the state house
or the hotels of Topeka and it ought to
have ceased long ago." says Col. j. r.
Hallowell. in an interview with the
Wichita Beacon reporter. Think so,
Col. Jim? If it had ceased long ago.
the people of Kansas would all be 100
per cent better Off today. If 1.-THE time
had passed" years ago, or had never
been inaugurated by the republican
party, Kansas would not today be the
laughing stock of the nation, the home
of all crapkisms under the sun, and the
coming battle ground for more crank
isms. If you are deluded with the hope
that the Joe Hudsons, Barnyard KEEL
legs, Campbells and Caraways are not
going to be able to dictate what the
policy of the republican party will be
in this state in 1894, you are certainly
not learning any thing in all these years
of experience. On the other hand, if
you HAVE learned anything, and desire
to make good in future years your
claims as. above quoted, you will cut
loose from that party of political boss
ism and join forces with the democracy
for the upbuilding of the state for the
good of all.

GEO. l.. DOUGLAS, he of the late war,
when a sledge hammer was more pow
erful than the good laws of the land,
made a spread eagle address at the
opera house Tuesday. George is hank
ering after gubernatorial honors
through the republican party and saw
good opportunity to sound a few
''key-notes" for the battle to be wag ed
in 1894 in the old. bloody shirt style.
While he did not mention any political
party he made many broad hints that
were heartily cheered by the g. o. p.
enthusiasts, and were also jotted down
in the memories of many old soldiers
present who no longer worship at the
gone out party's altar. We shall
have occasion to refer our leaders to
the ''key-notes" referred to, later on.
George is very smart young man, and
a pleasing orator; but if we mistake
not, his being engaged to deliver a
memorial day address, after the I'M
enviable figure he cut last winter in
the Kansas legislature, will prove to
have been mistake on the part of the
man who had him come here.

MUSIC AND DRAMA,
GRAND SWEDISH QUARTET CONCERT

GRAND SWEDISH QUARTET CONCERT.
| Tomorrow Saturday evening at the
First Presbyterian church, there will be
| heard for the first time in our city tue
justly celebrated Original Swedish Quartet
in grand concert. This appears as the
third attraction in the Y. Z. ;. c. +.
| lecture course. and as the substitute for
| the MendeIsohn Quintet club concert at
first advertised
The infringement of the course, while
regrettin. the necessity for any departure
from the original program, yet feel justi-
fled in claiming that the change made nee
essary by the failure of the Lyceum Bureau
to keep its contract, will eventually prove
no disappointment to their patrons.
The company is composed CT artists, and
with the possible exception of the Lotus
Glee club, will prove the finest male
quartet which has ever visited our city.
The attraction costs the society the same
money as was contracted to be paid for
the Mendellsohn Quintette club, aud
hence it will be seen that value received is
being given in TIE exchange.
There are six members in the company:
Charles A. Skoog. first tenor; George Law
rim, second tenor; A. Emil Skoog, bari
tone; Alexander Emslie. basso; Miss Vida
Skoog, accompanied and Miss Jose Borden,
dramatic and humorous reciter
Holders of season tickets will please re-
member that the Mendelsohn tickets
originally issued will be used to admit to
this attraction. Single tickets IS cents.
Reserved seats without extra charge at

THE CHRISTIAN CREED OF CHARITY.
Duty Coupled With Pleasure and an Evening Of
Elevating Influences, OF Many Mites
and Grand Total.

The concert for tonight is a work OF love
and of earnest solicitation. There is in ii
no sect or party, only Christ's creed oil
charity. only and simply kindly desire
| for the mites of the many and An earnest
hope OF hearty response in an harmonious
effort wherein it is sought to couple pleas
ure with duty.
Where everybody seems so well advised
Of the laudible aim any entreaty
or urging would seem unnecessary, to
say nothing OF the value OF the real
royal treat, which it undoubtedly will be
to leave out of the count the weeks of
time and unremitting work given the ef-
fort by Mrs. Walden, and all those who
are SO unselfishly assisting in carrying out
her conceptions, there rem aims the press
ing fact and the duty involves the neces-
sity of aid for those who caunot possibly
help themselves, and of sustenance for
those who would kiss the hand extended
for their relief or reward with tears of
thankfulness an opportunity to work.
If the opera house. therefore. shouldn't
hold every ticket buyer what's the differ
ence in view of the good so sought after
and is hoped of accomplishment.
The first general effort to meet the de-
mands of charity and humanity is this
concert. The churches through their So
cieties, and the benevolent orders through
their officers have already been extending
helping hands to those having ties or
claims. But then those who hold no
church relation and who are unknown to
the secret benevolent orders and brother
hoods. knowledge of these must be
reached through the committee named,
through policemen, through the members
Of the Salvation army and various other
sonrCes. and a thorough enquiry and sys-
tematic effort looking to relief must not
be delayed.
The distress of the land today, which
seems SO universal, is in its cities. The
one cry comes from all of them. There is
no work. There is no bread. Children are
crying from hunger. All of che towns and
Sitico DciuS tHo CiLOICcu
ldler is left helpless. for it is useless to go
elsewhere in search Of employment. The
industries that are supported by COM
mercial life have collapsed everywh here,
and there is want, distress and destitu-
tion.
While Wichita is no exception, Wichita
is not in such straits as are many Older
and richer cities. Wichita can and Wich-
ita will take care of her unfortunates.
Nobody will be permitted to starve to
death or to freeze to death this winter if
the sufferers will but let their extremity
be known,
Let the response tonight be from every
body; let it be full of cheer. and warm
with heart and sympathy.

THAT CONTEST.
Lawyers Given Further Tim. to Agree on O
Statement cf Facts.

When the contest court was called to
order yesterday in the common pleas court
the attorneys announced that mp till that
time they were unable to agree upon a
statement of facts to be presented to the
court. Colonel Hallowell, who has got
sufficiently over his sickness to be able to
take part in the defense stated to the court
that il they could be given additional time
that it was probable that statement of
facts could be agreed upon. He said that
there was no material difference existing
among the attorneys as to what the facts
were. but that it would be necessary to
look over the records in order to agree on
certain data to be found there.
The court then stated that
since it was the evident intention Of the
attorneys On both sides to expedite mat
ters, that they would be given till 10
o'clock this morning TO agree upon state
mens of all the facts. and If not to all OF
them, to as many Of them as they could
agree upon. The court then adjourned sili
10 o'clock this morning.
Ii is tied that the attorneys on both
sides will agree upon full statement of
facts; if not. there will not be more than
two points TO prove by evidence, SO that
the cnse will progress moro rapidly than
was at first expected
