Wichita, more especially the LAWYERS, as

GOOD COMMON SENSE.

An old farmer writes the fol-
lowing hard common sense;
"There is being so much said in
the country, about hard times,
and the scarsity of money, and as
everybody has a cause and knows
a remedy, thought I'd write to
tell your readers what think is
the cause.
The trouble is we buy more
than we produce. There is too
much -four and bacon shipped
here every year. The things we
ought to make at home we are
buying.
1--WE let our timber rot and buy
our pillow stocks, singletrees, ak
handles, hoe handles and fencing.
1--WE throw away our ashes and
buy our soap and axle grease.
1--WE throw away Our beef hid
es and buy our hame strings and
shoe strings.
1--WE let our manure go to
waste and buy our guano.
1--WE buy our garden seed in

1--WE let our lands grow up in

BABB HAS JOINED EN-.

At Pollard's Mill, near Green
vile, N. c., on the 10th a big
Thirdite picnic and speaking
took place. About 600 men,
women and children honored the
occasion with their presence.
Mr.. E. A. Moye was master OF
ceremonies. Messrs. Babb, OF
the Perquimans Record, and But
Ter of the Caucasion were the set
speakers, while some lesser lights
were allowed to vent their oratory
on 1ong suffering people" in
Introducing and bouquet-ing the
speakers.
A correspondent of the Viii
mington Messenger says: "Mr.
Babb made the first speech. He
displayed all the zeal of a new
convert who attempts to paint his
future by blackening his past
He but recently, i'll his old age,
deserted the friends of his former
days and went Thirdite-wards
having been a hot democrat. He
threw off the mask and emphat-
ically declared the Alliance full
of politics" His line of argu.
ment was simple and abusive o.
the Democratic party and the
principals which he but recently
and earnestly advocated. He
made a passing fair speech for
biased, disgruntled, quasi semi,
politician.
Mr.. VIM. Allen, in a neat speech
which commanded better atten,
ton than given any other speak
er, introduced Mr.. Butler.
Mr.. Butler delivered a stereo-
typed speech and occupied abou
three hours. He dealt IN statlst
les of immense figures, traitor
like abuse of the Democrats anc
after procla1ning innumerablf
evils, failed to present a reason
able remedy. 1t was an attenp
to bulldose and bunco,' politically
the unsuspecting, and divert sus
picion by the old cry of "stoI
thief" A practical suggestion
for the proper solution OF the
vexed question which he attacked
would have been welcome infor
nation. After his speech dinne1
was announced.
i Mr.. Skinner would not speak
although billed for speech, ane
requested to. He did not seem t
be deeply interested. There may
be a little rivalry and jealousy
between him and MrButler abou
succeeding Senator Ransom, a

or Republican to be in our mex
