lance met at the Huff school house, Pot
tswstomie county, Monday evening,
March 5, 1894.
The nesting was called to order and
T. W. Kelley was chosen chairman, and
W. s. Anderson, secretary. Judge A. J.
Mckee was then indorssd, and for about
two hours held the audience spell
bound. His speech was timely and to
the point. He urged the Alliance to re-
organize and do their utmost towards
bettering mankind generally.
After the Judges remarks, general
discussion took place, and it was the
unanimous sentiment of those present
that daily paper should be started at
the state capital in the interest OF the
Alliance. 1t was also recommended
that the present managers OF the ADvo-
GATE at Topeka be induced to take steps
towards establishing daily paper; also,
that the sub-Allisnces all over the state
should sgitste the question until the
end is attained.
Upon motion it was also recommended
that better patronage be extended to
the Alliance News, our county paper,
which has lsbored hard and earnestly
for the Alliance cause.
No further business being before the
house, the meeting adjourned to meet at
some place March 10, 1894, at which
time installation Of officers will take
place. T. W. KELLEY, Chairman.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat Of the disease.
Catarrh is blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Cstsrrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not qusok medicine. It was pre-
scrlbed by one Of the best physicians in
this country for years, and is regular pre-.
scription. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood puri-
fiers, acting directly on the mucous sur
faces. The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such wonder

little tricks of his confidence games of

Sincerity in Politics.

rose however untensble their position
may be, should be our aim in life. Why
men differ in their political views is very
apparent when we consider the different
environments Of life. They are, how
ever, few questions upon which all
agree. To think and act according to
the dictates of ones conscience is the
most sacred. Let every man be fully
persuaded in his own mind, Is the divine
Injunction. That conscience is not q
true guide in all the avenues Of life the
world comedies to-day, else Paul would
not have persecuted the apostles or sane
toned stoneing the followers Of the lowly
Nazsrene.
The Hindoo mother cast her innocent
babe to the monsters Of the deep only
to answer the dictates Of q misguided
conscience. All should seek the truth
and be able to give reason for the faith
that is within them. To allow ourselves
to tread the windpress Of party pre-
judics, blindly following q pet notion
without making full and impartial in
vestigation is surely weaving a web to
ensnare posterity unless our doctrine be
correct. How are we to know the claims
Of q political party worthy our support
except by research.
Within the last few weeks / have been
impressed more than ever before, If
possible, with the sincerity Of the rank
and file Of all political parties. / have
been frequently asked why | am so radi-
cally opposed to the republican party
gaining the reins Of government, espec-
tally national. One gentleman, after
lecturing me for nearly an hour, said:
"Please, sir, be candid. Give me just one
reason why the republican party should
not receive the united support Of every
true, loyal citizen in Kansas, and return
topower to run the affairs of the nation"
He seemed to be sincere, and truly
thought the. reasons why they should
not were very trivial, IL there were any
existing. / stated in substance that
after careful and mature deliberstiOn l |
had come to the conclusion that they |
had proven beyond perRdventure their
inability to run the government longer.
Naturally enough he desired an expls.
nation. simply called his attention to
the fact that when they, the present re-
publican party, took the rsins Of gov
ernment thirty years ago, almost all the
vast domain lying west of the Mississippi
comprising over / billion acres Of land,
was in the hands Of the government; the
pineries of the North, cypress OF the
South, the oak and walnut Of the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi valley, the coal,
lead, zinc, copper, silver and gold
mines scattered in every part Of this vast
realm, located thus and designed by the
great Creator to answer the necessities
Of generations to come, has been dis
posed Of, together with almost all the
valuable farming lands within the bounds
Of this territory. Money collected, paid
into the treasury, had been paid out to
meet their republican, idea of expenses
Of government.

situation was appalling. But, sir, 1t
was upon MS without the changing Of q
single law passed by the republicans in
the last thirty years except to repeal the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman act,
when 80 per cent. Of all the republicans
in congress and only 81 per cent Of the
democrats voted for it. The facts are,
the resources had baen sold, proceeds
squandered, and Mr.. Cleveland failed to
grasp the situation, but took the advice
Of republicans who desired to see the
destruction OF the democratic party, and
thus fell into the trap laid perhaps years
before.
II all that portion Of the 1,300,OOO,OOO
acres, valuable for farming and mineral
lands, has been disposed Of in the last
thirty years; money accruing ,theretrom
amounting to millions per year paid out
to meet expenses and the public debt
now existing, take as many bushels Of
wheat to pay it as it would have taken
when the debt was contracted, no won
der the responsible party qusilS before
an enrsged people when they discover
whore the responsibility lies. Then to
presume the people will trust them
again borders on the ridiculous. Well
for the leaders OF the republican party,
that the people so we'll directed their
chsatisement. Had the republican party
been in power when in the full force Of
this calamity overlook the nation no man
can tell what the consequences might
have been. Destiny seemed to will that
they should step aside just in time to
allow the democratic party to receive
the full force Of the blow, brought on
by thirty years of vicious legislation,
To the patriotic German, I can better
illustrate this extravaganza by stating
that the amount Of land so wandered in
the last thirty years is ten times the size
of his fatherland, Germany.
To the earnest American of English
descent we appeal in all esrnestness, is it
possible that you can support party
that has used all the money sccruing

Of which are forty times as

rency could be secured the grRvest dis
asters which threaten our near future
could be sVerted. The disaster is upon
us, but we have failed to secure this
much.needed currency spoken of by the
secretary.
The lsmsnted Senator P. B. Plumb
made use Of the following language on
April IA, 1890. Speaking Of the condi-
tion OF the country, he said: "The busi-
ness Of the country is langulshing. New
enterprises are held in obeysnce. Old
enterprises are struggling to keep on
their feet, and there is dread and apprs-
hension where there ought to be hope
fulness andsconfdence and enterprise" i"
John J. Ingalls, said in his famous
speech in January, 1891, that we were
accustomed to speak Of thls as the land
Of the free and the home of the brave,
"but it would soon be the land of the
rich and home Of the slave" These sem
tences may not have emRnRted from
orthodox republicans. II not, are they
any less the truth?
A writer in Ohio's labor report Of 1889
quotes Carroll D. Wright, republican la
Dor commissioner, as stating there were
100000 tramps in the land. Mr.. Fsu-
cett, the labor commissioner Of Ohio,
says: "There were 10000 women in the
factories Of Ohio working for starvation
wages" Speaking of the factory system,
ne says: "It is sad to contemplate the
degradation to which this system is
tending and be forced to admit in that
connection that no adequate remedy can
be suggested" Mr.. Fsucett was dis
charged, however, by Governor Foraker
as soon as his report was known.
In the face OF all these facts, we have
found men with audscity enough to say
il the republican policy would have been
continued, this distress would have been
avoided. May the good Lord have pity
on their poor, ignorant, preiudicsd souls,
for they ought to know the fact that no
law has yet been changed without their
sanction. Men who have bsrtered away
the nations substance are now returning
as the prodigsl son. "Yes," Mr.. Hoch
says, ~ would rather be an ideal csndi-
date than be made governor in the usual
method" Think Of such q confession
from one who ia presumed to know what
the methods have been, saying, 81 will
arise and 60 to my fathers house where
there is plenty and to spare" Mark
their lean and hungry look after one
short year Of feeding the swine Of party
prejudice and living upon the husks of
discomfort. Does anyone presume the
people Of this state have not recognized
the fact that the last legislature and
the present administration has savedlthe
state over $5OO,OOO the past year, the
record Of which cannot be disputed, and
that it will amount to over Sl,3OO,OO0 in
two years?
They have also made the lowest assess
ment ever made in the state. With these
and many other indisputsble facts to 90

ment on the opposite side, "Wa-wa-ws-

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES


 Revival services were continued, last Sunday, at the Methodist church, under the leadership of s. c. Ingersoll, cousin of Robert c. Ingersoll, and Mir Swanson, both of Stamford, assisted by the pastor. Tn the evening praise service was held with short addresses by the above named gentlemen. Each address showed the faith and trust it's deliverer had in the Redeemer of the world, ,and plainly point ed out the course we should take to ob- tain this faith and to live dead to the world but alive in Christ Jesus. Messrs Ingersoll and Swanson gave their fare well words of warning to the unconvert- ed, as that was their last visit to Wash ington for the present. At the close the pastor invited each one in the large con gregation present, who felt that they had been helped or benefited, in any way, by the recent revival meetings held by the l two gentlemen from Stamford, to rise. | The response was prompt and unani- l nous. The United Y. F. 5. c. E. will l continue it's meetings as heretofore, Sun- day evening at 6.15. Preaching service at 2 o'clock and Sunday school at 3. All are cordially invited.

EASTER AT ST ROSES.
LARGE AUDIENCES AND IMPRESSIVE SER
 VICES.

LARGE AUDIENCES AND IMPRESSIVE SER
 VICES,
 The Easter ceremonies of St Roses church, were unusually impressive this year. The church was beautifully de- corated. The main altar was magnifi- cient with it's numerous plants consisting of callas, Easter lilies, palms, etc., and presented a beautiful appearance in the evening with it's many glittering lights. Much credit is due Miss Bridget Blake for the taste she displayed in the decora- tiOns. The music was excellent at both masses. The church was thronged with worshippers at all the services. At the first mass Father Abram Emerich of New York, of the Society of Jesus, was the officiating clergyman. At the II o'clock service, Father Fox celebrated high mass and at the evening service, Father Eme- rich conducted the vespers, preached the sermon and gave the benedictlon. Farh- CT Daily ofllciated at SJepney in the morn- ing. At first mass, Rev Father Eme- rich's text was the gospel of the day, "ChTist Resurrection" The sermon was replete with beautiful figures, eloquent diction, fervid religious feeling and new birth enthu ,iasm. After the administra tion of the Holy communion to nearly the whole body of Christians assembled, ne uWGIE upon Lilt ltHHGF dlNhUJd&G Ol d Spiritual communion whereby grace fol- lowing intent would be gained daily, and exhorCed his hearers to this course in the intervals between actual partaking of the sacrament. He drew forcible picture of the self abnegation of all those who hold at it's true worth the infinite wisdom, goodness and love of God in giv- ing to man the boon of the sacrament of the Eucharist, and spoke of it as an es- senee of Christianity, and the foundation stone of Catholic faith and worship. At the last services of the day this theme was more fully dwelt upon from it's historical aspects, and was listened to with rapt attention by all hearers.

A Startling Fact.
Sixteen Per Cent of Life Insurance Applicant Rejected on Account of Diseased Kidneys.

Dr Lambert, the general medical di- rector of the Equitable Life Insurance Company of New York, said
 .sWe reject l6 per cent ot the applications e,n ] anfre ' s nor nf fh by the rejection alone of applicants who had dis eased kidneys and who died within two years after Ifrejected them." This appalling statement should have i the attention of our citizens. There is no reason to-day why people should let kidney disease get such hold on them. Nature sends her warning in the slight pain in the back, poor circulation of the blood, sediment in the urine. When any of these symptoms appear Dr David kennedy's Favorite Remedy should be taken in small doses at once and thus drive the poison out of the blood and re store the kidneys to healthy action. To our knowledge this is the only medicine that surely cures this almost universal complaint.
 We note the recovery of MT Oscar Lambert of Jerieo, Mo-, whose case has been talked of in the papers the world over.
 Quoting from his letter to the press, MT Lambert says:
 "I neglected the first symptoms until I found myself in bed with a complicated dis ease of the kidneys. No mortal ever suffered more and lived. My physicians failed to help l ite Remedy. It relieved my kidneys almost immediately, and in a few weeks was clear ot all pain and entirely cured.
 Mrs A J.F Manchester of Providence, R. l., writes:
 "I began using Dr Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy for kidney disease, when doctors failed to relieve me. It drove bad humor out ot my blood and cured my kidney trouble.''
 Favorite Remedy has had more free advertising in the columns of the daily papers than anything we know of, from the fact that it does as promised-cures disease.
