Corns are of two kinds-vegetabIe
and animal. Vegetable corn grows in
rows, and animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds of corn; there
Is unicorn, capricorn, corn dodgers, field
corn and toe corn, which is the corn
you feel most. 1t is said, believe, that
gophers like corn, but persons having
corns do not like to ''go far" if they
can help it. Corn has kernels, and
some colonels have corns. Vegetable
corn grows on ears, but animal corn
grows on the feet, at the other end of
the body. Another kind of corn is
acorn; these grow on oaks, but there is
a hoax about corn. The acorn is a
corn with an indefinite article, but the
corn is very definite article, indeed
Try it and See. Many a man when he
has corn wishes it was an acorn.
Folks that have cornS sometimes send
for doctor, and if the doctor himself
is corned, he probably won't do SO well
as if he isn't. The doctor says corns
are produced by tight DO OTIS or shoes,
which is probably the reason why when
a man is tight they say he is eorned. If
a farmer manages we'll he can get a
good deal of corn on an acre; but know
of a farmer that has one corn that
makes the biggest acher on his farm.
The bigger crop of vegetable corn a
man raises, the better he likes it; but
the bigger crop of animal corn ne raises
the better he does not like it. Another
kind of corn is corn dodger. The way
it is made is very simple, and is as fol-
lows that is if you want to know:
You go along the street and meet a
man you know has a corn, and is a
rough character; then you step on the
toe that has the corn on it, and see if
you don't have occasion to dodge. In
that way you will find out what corn
dodger is.

Letters to Governor Lewelling.

We are in receipt of the 224 page
pamphlet, published by the Daily Cap
ital Company, OF Topeka, Kansas, sold
in paper cover at 25 cents. In addit-
ion to the IA letters addressed to Gov
ernor Lewelling by the editor Of the
Capital, Major J. K. Hudson, the vol
ume contains 152 pages devoted to the
decisions of the Supreme Court on ques-
tions involved in the legality of cleo
tion contests and questions in despute
hetween the two houses, brief chron-
illogical history of the session, election
returns OF 1892, members Of the House
and Senate, State government appoin-
tees in boards, etc. The letters are a
conglomerate mass of misrepfesent-
alton of many Of the critical points in
the Late Qnpleasansness" between the
g: O. PSI and the pops, as would natur-
ally be expected from such q political
trickster as Major Hudson. About the
only things of value in the pamphlet are
the election returns, the house and
senate members, etc.

Sure Cure for Hog Cholera.

1t is not often that attempt to write
anything for the papers, and it is only
philanthropic spirit that moves me to
write this. Every editor in the United
States should copy it, and every farmer
cut and preserve 1t. Why? Because it
is a sure cure for cholera. have never
known or heard tell of its failing. 1t
is very simple, cheap and easy done.
Directions: Put one half teaspooful Of
carbolic acid in a gill of sweet milk and
pour it down the hog. When the farm
er sees any symptoms OF cholera among
his hogs, especially when one or two
have died; drive every hog and pig into
close pen, let one man catch the hog
BY his ears and sit the hog up with his
back between his legs, while another
man opens the hogs mouth with a
stick, and the medicine being in a long
neck bottle, is easily poured down.
Care should be taken not to dose one
twice. Twice the amount will kill, and
every hog sick OF well on the farm, and
surrounding farms should be dosed.
Now brother editors and farmers, If
you do not use all reasonable means es-
pecially when it costs you nothing to
let every farmer in the United States
know this you ought to die just little
bit with cholera yourself.-I. A. Dodge
Brady Texas, in Live Stock Journal.

A baby is small piece of breething

If uther babies growed in egs like a

way, in the republican state convention
of 1892, had worked for the nomination
of Murdock for goYernor-a man whom
everyone knows was and is bitter foe
to prohibition-and also that Caraway
had wanted the state convention to
ignere the prohibition question in its
platform. He said that prohibition
was not part of national republican
ism, and wanted to know what the fel-
lows were kicking for. His opinion was
that it was because THEY could not
run the convention" He called
Nimocks' attention to the fact that
when he, Nimocks, was appointed city
attorney there were but three or four
joints in the city, but that the number
had increased TO seventeen. He said
If the county attorney did not close the
joints they would not be closed. and
that if the fellows who were making
all the roar about cowardice of the con-
vention would aid the county attorney
the joints WOULD be closed.
There were few men who dld not
take part III the speaking who sided
with Caraway and his man Friday, but
they were very few.
at late hour this side show closed,
and the big clown and his big mouthed
master locked arms and came down on
the street to exhibit their assinine pro-
clivities. Caraway. who is big, cow
ardly bully, with neither manhood nor
judgment, began personal attack
upon the editor Of the DEMOCRAT, to
vent his disappointment. and did all
he could to create street broil, de-
scending to the lowest. vilest language
to such an extent that Deputy Sheriff
Will Spencer and Police Judge CorbiD
had to call him down and stop his
bullyraging language.

A Rip-Snortar,

Cyrus Corning, who has recently
started fourth peoples party paper at
Topeka, called 1.-The People, !" is one Of
the all-around-cranks who are always
to be found pushing themselves to the
front. Here is sample of his teach
ings:
Fusion between the people and
democratic parties in the last campaign
In Kansas completely destroyed the
usefulness of the former. AS reform
organization it is on the level with the
party with which it combined. 1t can
claim no reason for living. Through its
fusion deal it brought its worst element
TO the front from governor down the
line. It's committee betrayed their
trust. Its candidates. those who were
privy to the infamous deal, sold out in
advance Of the election. Fraud has be-
come the prominent ingredient in their
make up. BY virtue of the unholy
alliance the elective officers have for
the most part surrounded themselves
with a set of political adventurers
whose only claim to recognition is cheek
and willingness to barter away the
rights of the people,"
When a man exhibits such monu-
mental ignorance as the above indi-
Gates he is hardly worth the notice of
intelligent people. He has some fol-
lowers, however, and to those We desire
to say. in behalf Of the democracy of
Barton county, that we are not anx-
ious to fuse with any set Of political
mountebanks who do not possess any
more decency or sense of right than is
exhibited by Corning in his paper.
Last fall the vast majority of demo-
crasts in Kansas, knowing the conii-
tion of affairs. and realizing that the
old-time enemy-the republican party =
could not be beaten in this state in any
other way than by throwing our votes
to the new, the peoples party, declined
to enter into the fight as a democratic
party and endorsed the populist nomi-
nees. There was no fusion" about it.
There was no consideration, no under
standing between the two parties or
their central committees. The demo-
Gratis said: Between two evils we will
this year choose the least; and the re-
suit was their plans succeeded and the
6. o. p. was routed troop, horse and
dragoon.
And it was not done for the purpose
of aiding or abetting the schemes of
the Cornings, the Legates, the Leases
| OF any of the loud-mouthed, hair
Drained rip-snorters who we're worming
themselves to the front. We knew
there were many sensible, conservative
thinking men in the new party, and we
| preferred to aid them rather than the
old-time republican oligarchy which
had so long plundered Kansas.
| If the alarmists, the extremists and
the revolutionists in the populist party
succeed in gaining ccntroll of that
party and pushing to the front all theil
wild, unreasonable foolishness its hash
is settled, its cake is dough.
Another thing those same fellows
may as we'll understand, atnd that is
that Kansas democrats will not d.
again as they did in 1892; the occasion
or necessity viii never again arise.
If the opposition to Kansas republi
canism unites it will be on a fail
basis, or by the new party doing will
the democratic party as We did with th,
new party in 1892:

Farmers in the neighborhood do not
