Mailing Lies.

Some of HudSOn'S smart Alecs"
have been sending out more lies about
the First Populist Government on
Earth" and this is the way our gov
ernor" gets back at them:
What is the origin, what the mo-
tive, Of the sensational dispatches
sent out from Topeka: Can 1t be pos
Sible that men can be found to will
fully and maliciouSly libel their own
state and injure its people?
Twenty-Five years of the 'n0mlna-
Observation-Disclosures regime
had thrown to the surface OF public
affairs a class of 'slate.makerS' who
had grown used to living on the pub
lie funds. and last fail these men
were dislodged. Through their
'fixers' certain corporations had be-
come supreme over the state govern
ment, which had sunk to the position
Of a mere adjunct or department OF
these corporations. This, too, has
been changed, and the present admin
istratiOn has shown disposition to
assert the sovereignty Of the people
over corporations as over the hum
blest citizen. The change has not
been taken kindly by either the slate
makers or the 'tiXerS, and every con-
ceiya Die means has been res0rted To
Of embarrassing the new administra-
tiOn. Although the state officers
were elected by such decisive major
tiles that the rightfulness OF their
election has never been questioned
yet solely because they were elected
by the plain people, these ploughed-
under politicians and corporation
agents have treated them from the
beginning as if every officer were
mere usurper. The falSehoOds sent
out from Topeka emanate from a class
OF newspaper correspondents who are
owned and controlled by this class.
This explains both the origin and
motive of these libelS."

Still at Par.

Two Englishmen walked up to
the clerks desk at the ShOreham after
several days stay, and gave him a
handful of English sOvereigns to pay
their bill with the remark:
81 su~ pose you will allow us quite a
nice premium on this"
O"They are worth just $3.50 each, "
said the clerk.
What! in silver or paper?"
That's the price"
"We understood that silver dollars
were only worth fifty or sixty cents.
The papers so state. We only want
what is right, but we certainly have
seen it so stated in the New York
papers and we heard the same thing
told by member of your House of
Commons yesterday, while we sat in
one of the galleries"
The Englishmen looked bewildered
A gentleman standing near took pity
on them, explained the matter ana
showed them the market report.
where silver dollars were quoted at a
premium over gold.
They paid their bills in sOvereigns
at $3.50; but one Of them remarked
that IF member Of our House of
Commons should tell such a beastly
lie as that on the floor of the house
he would be expelled che next day."

To Help Kansas.

A good liar can make a heap of
trouble, but the Republicans of Kan
sas seem to have lost their grip.
Their latest has been to send out dis
patches from Topeka to the effect
that "Kansas was going TO secede
from the union" This is what Gov.
Lewelling has TO say about it.
passing over the recent dispatches
to Chicago dailies setting forth that
a court martial had sentenced an olli.
Ger of the national guard to jail, and
that 10000 Republicans were going
to raise rebellion and liberate their
martial martyr. when no such SEN
tence is possible under the Kansas
military regulations, and the lind
ings, if made, have not even yet been
returned; permit me to refer TO the
plot of the state officers TO surreptl-
tiously 'secede' Kansas from the un-
ion. This state is full of veterans OF
the late war: and, assuming the state
officers to be a grade or two above ut
ter imbecility, ! ask candid people If
it is To be for a moment supposed
that these officers could contemplate
so absurd a thing as that of proposing
to the old soldiers Of Kansas the Sc
cpssion' of the state from the union!
No one at all flmiliar with our peo-
pie will credit the assertion that such
proposal could emanate from even
1 Kansas lunatic asylum. The re-
quest sent to Governor Stone of Mis-
souri, meant precisely what its terms
imported, and concealed no scheme
of secession. The charge seems to
me so absurd that, were 1t not for
clear proof, | could not believe that
any sane man could give it credence.
No such thing as secession FOR free
men to seek to break their CONNER
cial fetters. II the west and south
can enhance their prosperity by trad
ing with the nations OF the earth df-
rect instead Of letting the cities OF
the Atlantic seabOard toll all the
products of this fertile region. ! can
not think 1t wicked to propose such Q
course; nor can think IT is an evil
deDce of total deprasity that the
west and south should seek some
means of exchanging and marketing
their products without the necessity
OF hiring eastern manipulators OF d.
nance to supply the necessary curren.
cy or credit, or to lend the use of
their means Of distribution. / see no
reason why 1t might not be perfectly
righteous for the producers OF this
vast region to so arrange matters as
TO live in the sweat OF their own
brows, instead Of continuing forever
70 give the exclusive benefit OF their
perspiration to an upstaat moneyed
aristocracy. IL snch proposal means
secession from the union, a good many
OF us are fearfully and wonderfully
obtuse: and this is the only meaning
Of the proposed meeting OF governors
and delegates from certain states"

Badly liked.

Our foreman, in the hurry and rush
of last weeks makeup of the NelcS,
got our editorial touching the silver
question all mixed up. The article
was aimed to be straight, but we con-
fess, that we are, as yet, a little
mixed on this vexed and veXing ques-
tiOn.-Caldwell Ne,CS.
A great many of the rank and file
of your party are mixed on it, and
the more it is agitated, the more
mixed they become. The Republican
party never had and never will have
a more brilliant opportunity to re-
trieye its fortunes than in taking up
the cause of the people in opposition
to the present gOld-bug administra-
tiOn, but it threw it to the winds by
its vote on unconditional repeal Of the
Sherman bill and now the people are
compelled to look to the Peoples
party for relief from the oppression
of the creditor class. While there
are many Republicans who perhaps
cannot endorse all the tenetS of the
Peoples party, they should and doubt
less will cast their lot with it and
help in future to make its platforms
and dictate its policies. For any
western man to remain longer in a
party that is dominated by the cred
itOr class of New England and Great
Britain is suicidal and it is every
where being conceded that the PeO-
pies party is the organization in
which the elements of opposition to
tyranny and oppression will unite.
1t is not a mixed question to those
who will bury partiSanism. On the
other hand it is plain as daylight.
As a spokesman for the Peoples
party the VOICE would bid all a cor
dial welcome to its ranks. Our peO-
pie will receive you with open arms
and bygones shall be bygones.

A Little Bank OF His Own.

Populist-BrO. Rep, l wish to
transact a little business. / have
800 which would like to loan to
you for year at 5 per cent, taking
your note for the same.
Republican-All right, Bro. Pop.
Might as well fix it up now. Wait a
minute and l will write out my note.
Note is filed out and ready to hand
to the Populist, when the latter says:
POpulist-That is all right. But,
come to think about it, ! want to use
this hundred dollars in my business.
Let me keep it and l will give you
your note for security.
Republican looks puzzled.
Populist-Seem surprised. But
there's no reason to be. This is just
a little business scheme of mine.
There is your note bearing per cent
interest. You hold it as security
for this hundred dollars.
Republican-But what have | got
to do with it? Seems to me you
might have used your money without
all this rigmarOle.
Pepulist-That is because you do
not understand finance. Once a year
l will come around and collect the
5per cent interest on that note.
Republican-lpulling off his coat;)
You will, eh? Well, we'll see about
that. What do mean by your infer
nal POpuliSt scheme anyway.
POpulist-NOthing at all that is
not perfectly legitimate. | am just
going to start private bank on Re-
publican principles. You are the
government, | am the banker. This
note represents the U. S. bonds which
Uncle Sam issues. The banker then
returns the bonds to the government
and secures money for them. This
money he loans out at good interest
and every year it continues to draw
interest from the government on the
bonds which he has given back for
that money. Now | am not wealthy
enough to start a national bank and
thought | would start a little bank of
my own on the same plan.

A Pointer for Boys.

A certain boy, just starting out to
make a living, fortune and name
for himself had very surprising eX-
perience. The first day Of his travels
he met a grey haired bank president
who said to him:
81 wish to resign my position as
president of this bank and give it
to you. Take it and you will have
honor, a home, position, wealth"
But he declined it.
On another day an eminent judge,
man known for his wisdom and his
integrity, whose decisions were law,
came to him and said:
1T is nearly time for me to resign
my office and l must begin to look for
a successor. You can have the place
if you wish it."
But the boy declined.
In turn millionaire, an eloquent
lecturer, an eminent divine, an ex-
perienced and successful physician,
offered to resign their money, their
positions, their practice to him, but
the boy refused.
But one day blOated, ragged, pen
nilesS drunkard came along and said;
Il must go to fill a drunkard's
grave. Take my place"
And the boy took it.
What a fool" you say? mo such
thing ever happened?"
1t is happening every day. The
banker did offer the boy his position,
but with the prOvisO that he was first
to fit himself for it and the boy did
not like the years of toll which neces-
Sarily preceded the enjoyment.
The hOnOred judge did make the
offer to the boy, but because he must
needs devote years to study to fit
himself for it, he declined. So with
the millionaire, the lecturer, the d.
vine and the physician, but it was
the same with the drunkard, yet still
when it came to deyOting years tC
become fitted for drunkard's place,
he accepted the offer at once.

A writer in the NGtionDI StocEmaR
and Farmer, of PittSburg, Pa, re-
marks:
"The price of wheat is low, lower
than it has been in the memory Of
wheat-gOerS, and the question comes
up: How are farmers to get cost of
it?' To sell wheat at 60 cents a bush
ell, or $50 a ton, will leave little profit
in growing it unless it were grown
under exceptiOnally'fayOrable circum-
stances; if we can sell it in the shape
of pork we may get dollar a bushel
for it, perhaps more. | have heard
of one man who last year fed his
wheat to pigs and got $l.20 a bushel
for it. | see no good reason why any
farmer who knows how to feed pigs
cannot get more than go cents bush
ell for his wheat if he markets it in
pig skins. A bushel of corn will
make ten pounds of pork.
"The StockmaH, of August 10,
quotes light weight pigs at Sc per
hundred; so buShel of corn fed to
pigs, in the ordinary way, will sell as
pork for 60 cents, which is more than
the corn will bring as grain. Now
the pig-feeder should be able, by
strict attention to business, to get
at least twelve pounds of pork for
every bushel of corn he feeds; this
would give him 72 cents a bushel for
his corn, with pigs selling at S6.
Wheat should give better results
than corn if fed to pigs; it is only
question of learning how to feed it.
Grinding it would add too much to
its cost unless the farmer had his
own mill, but by soaking it for from
twelve to fifteen hours it would soft
ened so much that very little of it
would be undigested. One great ad-
vantage in grinding grain is that it
is more thoroughly digested, not
merely because unbroken grains are
not affected at all and so pass through
the animal undigested. A dog will
eat and digest the hardest kind Of
bones, but whole wheat will pass
through him in the same state as
when swallowed. This is a very i'm
pOrtant point to be looked after in
feeding unground grain, and many
feeders do not realize how much
they lose by carelessly feeding it.
Poultry Of all kinds are the only stock
that doesn't waste grain when fed
unground, and the reason why this is
so is simple; the fowls gizzardS grind
the grain thoroughly and it can be
thorOughlydigested.
IF the pig-feeder will soak his
wheat until fermentation sets in, /
believe that 1t will not only be more
thoroughly masticated than if fed
whole, but believe the pigs will get
more of its feeding value than if it
were merely soaked till it swe,ls.
Chemical action comes in here to
help the feeder. but he must be
watchful that it does not 60 too far.
