This is one of the session laws OF
1881. It has been upon the statute
books of Kansas during all these
years of republican administration,
and yet in a few hours search we
found over 100 of these club houses
that had been chartered by Bill Hig-
gins alone, to say nothing Of the
other hundreds that the books show
have been chartered under former re-
publican administrations, IN direct
adoIation of Io1O. Has any one ever
seen anything in the Capital in con-
demnstion Of these illegal practices,
by which Bill Higgins and other re-
publican secretaries of state have COL
lected thousands of dollars of illegal
fees and put the money in like illegal
manner in their own capaclous pock-
cts? The hypocrisy of republican
pretensions upon this subject shcnld
suggest becoming modesty on the
part of republican papers in their
criticisms just now.
We are free to say that republican
neglect to enforce the laws affords no
excuse for like neglect at this time;
nor do Bill Higgins illegal charters
afford any protection for the conduct
| of an illegal business, or the main
tenance of a club room contrary to
law; and we call upon the present
board of police commissioners to do
their duty in accordance with their
official oaths. We stand ready to
join the Capital and all other papers
in the demand for enforcement OF
law and the maintenance OF good
government; but let us have little
less hypocrisy in the treatment OF the
subject. The evils we desire to see
sbsted are not new, nor is this
administration responsible for their
existence. It remains to be seen
whether it will be responsible for
their continuance. We will only add
one sugg estion at this time. From a
State Journal interview with MIR.
Sells on the goth inst, we clip the
following:

day and found there one of the most promi-
nent lawyers in Topeka He was drinking beer
and eating sandwich. 1 didn't see any money
change hands, and the lawyer knew much bet

law we have quoted, he will perhaps

DORSED TT,

of it's editorial staff. Had it not been for
fusion, the Capital would still be the official
paper, and this the good DR.. MOLsllin
knows as well as anybody else. But we
do not think the people of Kansas will en-
dorse the ADvooATE's snti-fusiOn ideas
Sterling Weekly Champion.
No, the heads of the editorial staff
of the ADVOCATE have not been turned.
No reader Of the ADVOCATE has ever
seen a word or s..syllsble in Its COL
umns in favor of fusion. We have
always opposed it and always expect
to; and SO far as the good people of
Kansas endorsing our position, if the
Champion will name a time when
they have not endorsed it, we will re-
ceive the information as a favor. Last
year the Champion and q few other
papers in the state were bowling for
fusion before our convention met in
Wichita, but did the Wichita conven-
tion nominate q fusion ticket? Which
one of the candidates there nominated
was named at the solicitation Of the
democratic party? True, the demo-
cratic convention endorsed our ticket
and supported it, but the fusion was
all on the democratic side, and we
were in no way responsible for it.
Now, what is the situation In Kan
sss to-day? The republican admin
istration which has just closed has
demonstrated that the policy of the
republican party is dictated by Wall
street. The interests of the people Of
the west and south are not regarded
as worthy of consideration. The
present democratic administration
will demonstrate that the change ia
simply one of men without any
change of policy. Is it for moment
to be supposed that western and
southern men of either party will
continue to support a policy that is
| in direct conflict with their interests
To suppose such a thing is to sup
pose them to be fools. The late tri-
umph of the democratic party is
simply a protest against republican
misrule, and when the people who
did the voting see that the democratic
party is no better than it's predeces'
sor, there will be another protest nc
less emphatic. What then Is the ra'
tional position for the Peoples party
to assume? If it adopts a policy oi
fusion with democrats, it at onct
slienates the confidence of repubIi'
cans who are dissatisfied with then
own party. There is no more sense
in advocating fusion with democrats
than with republicans. Each would
be equally disastrous. The People,
party stands for certain principles
which will never be endorsed by thoS'
who are in control of either of th'
old parties, and if we would draw Il
our support the dissatisfied elements
of both parties from the ranks of tn,
honest voters, we must keep clear @
all entangling alliances. A straight

When Wives Were Cheap.

In the London Times for the 18th
OF July, 1897, mention was made
that a butcher had exposed his wife
for sale in Smithfeld market, near the
Ram In with q halter around her
neck and one about her waist, which
tied her to railing. A hog drover
was the happy purchaser, paying the
husband three guineas and q crown
for his depated rib" Anew days later,
commenting on this sale, the Times
said: 'By some mistake in our re.
port of the Smithfeld market we had
not learned the average price for
wives for the last week. The increas-
ing value OF the fair sex ia estimated
by several eminent writer's as a GER
tain criterion Of increasing civil
zation. Sn1ithfeld has, on this
ground, strong pretensions to refined
Improvement, as the price Of wives
has risen ia that market from half 4

A Clear COMPLEXION.

No woman is happy who has not
a good complexion. There ara
many muddy-skinned women who
on.y need a short course in cathar-
tics to give them clear skins and
clean-looking eyes. Then again there
are others who need to use hot water
and any good unperfumed soap on
their faces once day. After the face
is washed in hot water, it should be
rinsed in cold and allowed to dry
without using towel. Toweling the
face too much brings on wrinkles. No
woman who fails to wash her face in
soap and hot water can claim to
have a clean skin. Little bumps and
swellings or redness are relieved by
bathing with spirits of camphor:
Ammonia in the water wrinkles the
skin. Blondes should never use gly-
cerine on their face If they must
use grease to soften the skin let it be
little almond oil, mixed with al
mond meal and oat meal or corn
meal. Steaming the face, said to
be good for a bumpy skin, reddens
it almost beyond repair. Young
girls with stubby fnger-tips should
pinch each finger separately after
washing the hands.--NewO Orleans Pic.

Farm Hints.

Be sure that the threshed oats are

It requires the same kind of feed to
maintain heat that it does to fatten
The only way to know the profit on
any system of feeding is by the scale

To make a speciality in farming
profitable, a special outfit is gener-
ally necessary.
The principal advantage in grind
ing the cob with the grain is that it
promotes digestion.
The skill of the feeder will often
be shown in the even quality OF the
stock as in any one thing.
In breeding for special purpose.
unless you have the dam the desired
results cannot be secured.
What the mich COW requires is
good feed in variety, plenty of it and
then have it given regularly.
The COW that will make a pound of
milk, butter OR cheese for the least
money is the one to keep for profit.
Colts that are highly fed and grow
fast need more exercise than those
whose rations of grain are more lin
tied. q
Generally the more diversified the
industry the better financially, pro-
vided of course that it is we'll man

No one can expect uniformity in
the offspring without judicious Sc
lection and mating of the breeding
stock.
Animals that are we'll fed and 9th
erwise made comfortable will not be
as hard to restrain as one that is half
starved.
If an animal only holds it's own we are
feeding at a loss, as the gain secured
is. all that we can have to show for
the feeding.
In order to feed the grain and

says the New York Herald.
The two We're members of q party
visiting an Adirondack camp in Sar-
anac lake region. Every one was we'll
acquainted and the days passed
merrily away until q heavy rainstorm
drove the ladies and the less enthusi4
astic fishermen indoorsand compelled
them to seek other forms of amuse-
ment. The rain continued to fall
almost without intermission for
several days, and as a means to re-
lieve the monotony the gentlemen
already referred to proposed that
the various members of the party try
their hand st cooking the next meal,
Permission was obtained from the
host, the members OF the party laugh.
ingly agreed to the proposition, and
the guide, whose duty it was to act as
cook, was for the time sent about
other business. The gentleman acted
as chef, and, with a knowledge OBJ;
tanned from serving on the house COM
mittee of q prominent NewYo rk club,
proceeded to assign various work to-
his aids and appointed the young lady
first vegetable cook for the express
purpose Of making her peel onions,
the odor OF which she ioathed.
When the party adjourned to the
kitchen to begin preparations large
supply OF strong odored red onions
were brought to the lady ard she was
requested to remove the'outer cuticle.
The acting chef and the others who
had been let into the secret made
merry over the supposed discontinue
of the first vegetable cook, but the
latter smiled sweetly and uttered no
pro test.
"Bring me q deep pan," she said
to her helper, and when this was
produced she filled it to the brim with
water. Then she tucked up her sleeves
to the elbow, showing just the pref
TEST pair of arms in the world, and
removing her rings set to work peel
ing the onions under water with a
dizziness that showed how familiar
she was with the work and depriving
it Of all its offensiveness.
It was a revelation to the man, who
had looked either for vigorous pro-
test or had expected to see the eyes
of the veget able cook water from the
effects of the onion juice. The anna
teur dinner was in every way asuccess,
but none OF the cooks achieved a
greater triumph than the one whose
practical experience showed to the
others the common-sense method o,
peeling onions.

Home Hints,

Clean your mirrors with soft paper
instead of cloth.
2 Instead of flowers as decorations
for the table and rooms at the times of
an entertainment, florists are using
foliage profusely.
r. Wood that has been warped may be
brought again in some cases by wet
ting the converse side and placing it
in the sun Or at moderate distance
from the fire.
Slippery-elm bark is a good thing
for scaly boilers. and has been sue
cessfully used for number of years.
It is placed in the boiler and left
there, the scale falling off in fakes,
which should be at once removed.
A waste basket is positive neces-
sity in a well-regulated, nursery, and
the children should be taught to throw
every scrap of paper and other litter
into it. The room will thus be kept
more tidy, and the little folks taught
a practical lesson in neatness. -.
For fruit sauces the simplestSway is
to take syrup, especially raspberry
syrup, and thin it with cold water, or
let some of it come to boil after
thinning it. then add q teaspoonful of
cornstarch dissolved in water and let
boil, while stirring, for a few min
utes. This you serve hot.
For a sswhite of3egg pudding take
four whites and beat them to a stiff
snow. Now mix two tablespoonfuls Of

Make Every Acre Paw.

In a rented farm the responsibility
OF every acre to yield profit over
rent OF land and cost of production
is obvious. 1t ought to be the same
with land owned in fee. There is the
interest on cost of land, in most cases
as much Or more than it's rental val
uation. If it is not met each year,
besides paying the cost of working,
its owner might better be without it,
and put the money it represents
where it would draw legal interest.
There may seem to be exceptions to
this rule in land held for speculative
purposes near large cities. Such land
is often left untitled, or titled so
poorly that it yields no profit. Yet
almost invariably such holding of land
on speculation results disastrously.-

Terrible Experience Of Alexiano.
the Snowman, in France.
While Alexiano, ashowman, at Bor-
deaux was in the hons cage with his
head in the mouth OF Marquese, a.
most dangerous animal, an intoxicat-
ed person among the spectators began
to indulge in semi-savage whoops. and
shouts.
The animal, which was in a very ex-
cited condition, became more so on
hearing the shouts, and half closed it's
ponderous jaws on it's master.
There was a. cry OF horror through
the menagerie, and it was fully expect
ed that the tanner had been mortally:
injured. Alexiano, however drew his
head out all right, and it was seen
that blood was flowing from two deep
wounds in his face, one near the left
eye and the other in the righe jaw
The lioness began to below. Alexiano
whipped it on the sides, and then,
with amazing intrepidity, bent down,
opened the animals mouth, and again
put his head inside it, drawing it out
once more amid loud acclama tions

enough to understand the seriousness
OF the situation, and reiterated before

EASY Methods of Testing Diamonds.
There are several ready tests for dia-
monds. That which is generally
adopted by jewellers has for it's found
alton the well-known fact that the
diamond is harder than any other
substance, and can consequently not
be scratched or marked by anything
but another diamond. The second
test is that it becomes positively cleo
trio by friction, but is not electrified
by heat, and this serves to distinguish
it from the topaz and many other
stones. Another OF determining
whether diamond is genuine or not
is to pierce q hole in card with a
needle, and then look at the hole
through the stone. Ii false you will
see two holes, but if genuine only O.
single hole will appear. You may al
so make the test in another very sim
pile way. Put your finger behind the
stone and look at it through the dia-
mond as through a magnifying glass
If the stone is genuine you will be I'M
able to distinguish the grain of the
skin, but with false stone this will
be plainly visible. Besides, looking
through q real diamond the setting is
never visible, whereasit is with false
stone. -
