Political IHSincerity.
From the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
Political ins:ncerity has seldom been
more thoroughly demonstrated than by
the ropulist state senate of Kansas.
That party resolved in favor Of electing
railway commissioners by the people.
The republicans placed that doctrine in
their platform tn ee years ago. When
the railway bill went to the Fopulist
senate it refused to pass it for the
avowed reason that it allowed the geo
pie to elect the commissioners. that
body insisting that the power to sp-
point should be lodged in the executive
council. This demonstrat on Of the in
sincerity of the ropulist leaders in the
Kansas senate ought to open the eyes
of great many people who have been
looking for an era OF ''Iopulist reform"

Mr.. CLEVELAND, in his inaugural,
gives the old soldiers warning of what
they may expect. The only president
elected since the civil war who has not
borne arms IN the nations cause, this
sender of substitute, describes the
system which provides meager pit
lance for the support OF disabled Union
veterans and the widows and orphans of
veterans as "wild and reckless pension
expenditure, which over,eaps the bounds
of grateful recognition of patriotic
service and prostitutes to vicious uses

by the strength OF movement that pro-
fessedly was designed to break down
the powers of persons in office and to
add to that Of the plain people. Some
acts of the governor OF Kansas have
been perlously close to anarchy, but
the dissenting opinion Of the "populist
judge comes yet more rerilously near
to a judicial recognition Of anarchy as
a force superior to that OF law.

Secret Society OathS.

Copied in the Wichita Eeacon from the Wichits
Eagle.
The leading populist of the city, the
conservative man of the lot who is the
mouthpiece of the crowd when final
decision is made, was watched very
closely as he entered the crowd sur
rounding the Eagle bulletin board,
which announced that the supreme
court was unanimous in decision in
favor of'the Douglass house. He read
it slowly and then turned away from
the crowd and said to populist friend:
'"There is a mistake in that dispatch.
Judge Allen would not go back on his
solemn oath and decide against Us in
that matter"

Content With Moderate Profits.

While the profits of fruit growing
are often very large, the fruit-grower
ought not to grumble if he makes a
moderate profit all the time. Farm
ers, generally, are not making extra
ordinary profits, and fruit-growers
may expect to fare as other farmers
do. To stop work because $500 or
$500 an acre can not be had is foolish
1t is like the lrishman newly arrived
in New York, who said he would not
pick up single gold piece he found
on the sidewalk, but wait till they
were thicker.

Wooden Leg Industry Declining.

AS the veterans of the war die. off
there is a very perceptible falling off
in the business Of the wooden leg
maker. At one time a great many
persons were employed in whiting
out timber toes" but this is no
longer true Although the business
is falling of, it has reached a state of
great perfection. Wooden legs are
so well made nowadays that the ar
tificial member can hardly be de-
tected. 1t is curious to note that
farmers are the greatest sufferers by
loss of legs. The table of percent
age shows II per cent Of amputa-
tions are performed upon woman,
while among railroad mel it is only
7 per cent-Philadelphia Record.

Canned Meats for Summer.

Keeping meat fresh for table use is
commonly prsctised by farmers only
In the winter when it is preserved by
freezing. With steady cold weather,
parts Of the hog that are not suit
able for putting into pickle are thus
often kept Usually there are head
pieces and spare ribs, these being
kept in as cool a place as possible, and
in case of a thaw covered with ice or
snow until freezing weather again re-
turns But fresh meat, suitably pre-
pared, may be canned and put away
until needed for use any time in the
summer. Cook it thoroughly enough
70 clear it Of air and seal tight by
taking care in filling the can to pack
as closely as possible. The top may
be covered with lard made hot enough
to run. Those who try this method

Southern Contempt for workingmen

The fact that substantially the
whole vote cast in the House Of Rep
resentatives against the car-coupler
bill came from Southern Democrats
confirms the charges often made
to the effect that nowhere else
in America was labor so little re-
spected as in the old slave States, and
that the real masters Of the Demo
cratic party, the men who control its
caucuses at Washington and its ma
tional policy, hold the lives and safety
and happiness of workingmen cheaper
than they were rated by any other
class in the entire country.

The populists Of the Kansas legisla-
ture will issue manifesto to the peo-
pie, explaining that they yielded simply
as a matter Of policy and not because
they believe that the supreme courts
decision was right. An apology for
yielding is totally unnecessary. If they
have any apologies to make they should
crave the peoples pardon for bringing
reproach upon their good name and
wasting their money.

That was very amusing remark
made by Governor Lewelling that he
would not consider the calling of an
extra session until after corn planting
time. The Wichita Eagle says There
were not two dozen actual corn planters
in both bodies outside of the republican
members. They were and are lot of
pegleg pedagogues, jack-leg pettifogs
and demagogue preachers without pull
pits."-Kansss City. Kan, Gazette.

Horse Flesh for Food.

In Europe, where the horse is every
year more used as human food, the
animals are not allowed to become a
mass Of skin and Jagged bones, as old
horses often do here They are fat
tened, and even an old horse can be
made quite fat if given succulent
food mixed with ground grain. 1t is
no more difficult to fatten an cd
horse than it is to fatten an old cow.

The ropulists made great parade
about their trust in the people, but
when the legislature creates new Offices
they oppose electing them by the peo-
pie, but insist they shsll be appointed
from the ranks Of the populists. Their
new platform is, This is government

Fattening Cattle Not Drinking.

In the process Of fattening the
amount of water in animal tissues is
reduced and it is replaced by fat. If
given some moist food. as roots or
silage, cattle that are beeng fattened
will drink very little in cold weather.

Antoine Honisch and his brother,
Louie. living near Odin. in Cheyenne
township, came to town last Thursday
on business, Antoine was the leader of
the Bardeen band, AMI part of his BUSH
ness was to secure some money coming
to the band for playing during the
recent county campaign. The writer
saw the brothers about 2 o'clock and
they were at that time duly sober and
were getting ready to depart for home.
1t appears, however, that they later in
the day got hold of some of that DEVILS
tanglefoot, Kansas prohibition whisky,
the stuff that is either sold by stealth
or upon the purchaser perjuring HIM
self TO get it at the drug stores, and by
the time the two Honisch boys were
ready to start home, nearly dark, they
were scarcely able to get into their
wagon or stay in after they got in.
Vern Russell. driving home from the
north just after shutdown, found the
two men lying on the bridge that cross
es the Walnut north of the Squire
Dodge place, one apparently stiffening
in death and the other lying beside him
grooming in agony. Mr.. Russell hast
ened to town-about three miles-and
notified the authorities. In the alb
sence of the coroner Justice James
Clayton, accompanied by DR.. Maff-tt,
hastily drove out to the scene of the ac-
cident. Deputy Sheriff Will Spencer
and the writer also drove out, and Will
Zutavern took a spring wagon to bring
in the injured men.
Antoine was found lying on the
bridge, face downward, with head to
the south, stiff in death; Louie was up
and walking around, in care of some
gentlemen living near by. He had not
yet gotten over his drunken stupor, and
could give no intelligent report of the
accident. The two were brought to
town. and the dead man laid out in
Moses undertaking rooms. Louie's
injuries were examined, and it was
found he was not seriously hurt, only
bruised up considerably.
Friday coroner's jury was empan-
eled and viewed the remains, when All
adjournment was taken to the 18th for
an investigation of the case. The
relatives of deceased took the remains
home, and they were buried Saturday.
The mans neck had been broken.
probably in fall from the wogon. and
he had evidently been dragged some
distance onto the bridge. He leaves a
wife and five children. in poor circum-
stances. He was about 81 years old.
The investigation of the coroner S
jury brought out about the facts as
above stated, and the verdict was. that
Honisch "came to his death by a rup-
tnre of the spinal cord, caused by fall
ing from wagon, while in state of
intoxication.'
