REPUBL1CAN STATE PLATFORM

The state republican convention at To-
peka adopted this platform:
Reaffirming the republican national platform
of 1892.
Resolved. First The constant patriotism of
our party is in itself guarantee to the nation
that the interests of its defenders their widows
and orphans, will be literally cared for, and we
denounce their cruel and deliberate betrayal by
the present democratic administration.
Second: We adhere to the republican doctrine
of protection, and believe that tariff laws should
protect the products of the farm as well as the
factory.
Third: the American people favor bimetal-
ism and the republican party demands the use
of both gold and silver as standard money with
such restrictions and under such provisions. to
be determined by legislation, as will secure the
maintenance of the parity of values of the two
metals, and that the purchasing and debt pay
ing power of the dollar, whether of gold, silver
or paper, shall be at all times equal. The in
terests of the producers of the country its farm
erS and its working men, demand that the mIntS
be opened to the coinage of silver of the mines
of the United States and that congress should
enact a law levylng a tax on lmpOrtatIOnS OF
foreign silver sufficient to fully protect the pro-
ducts of our own mines.
Fourth: We favor national and state leglsla-
ton for the encouragement of irrigation.
Fifth: We denounce the present state admin
istratiOn for its violation of the laws and con
potency of its officials, its gross mismanagement
of the state Institutions, and for IL dscredlt 1t
has brought upon the good name of the state.
And we pledge the republican party and the
nominees of this convention to the faithful and
economical discharge of all official duties. to a
law, and to obedience to the mandates of the
courts.
Sixth To the maintenance of these princi-
pies we invite the support of all patriotic cltl-

Ehe Lords of Creation.

it is always amusing and at the
same time very pathetically sugRes
tive of masculine vanity to hear a
no-account man prate of what the
woman who becomes his wife must
be. It matters not to this person
that this creature to be so honored
may have word or two to say con-
corning the type of life partner she
would select. Oh, dear, no. A wo-
man has no voice in the matter. ANY
man Is sufficiently perfect to fiji the
roll of husband-that is, according
to the egotistical view of life taken
by the lords of creation.
A man, no matter whether he is
lame, halt, or blind; man, no mat
ter whether he Is able to earn his
salt or not, always sets up an ideal
that is to be his some day for the
asking. He candidly admits that he
may have TO search long while Tor
he, because perfect women are so
hard to find, but once he meets with
this jewel she will at once fall into
his arms, never questioning whether
little evening up of accounts would
not be preferable to the one-sided
perfection he demands.
So many men talk in this silly
fashion that when a woman comes
across one who reverences her sex in
this entirety. regarding all woman
kind as so much better, nobler, and
lovelier than man ever could hope to
be, she has no hesitancY in declaring
that individual the one whom she
sincerely admires. 1t is such nom
sense for the average man to prate of
perfect beauty of face, form. and
character as the requisites a wife of
his must possess to win his fancy.
He may think that he will not I'M
bend until this ideal is found, but
love is blind, and when once he
meets the woman who pleases him it
will not matter whether she possesses
even one of the attributes that he
declared were requisite. Therefore,
let not man prate of perfection save
In himself, for all the talking in the
world would never convince outsiders
that he possessed even Jithe Of the
virtues he talks so gliblY about

'PopuIists Want a Change.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The populist
members from Kansas are very much in
terested in the movement in the popu-
list ranks in Kansas to get some changes
made on the state ticket. The members
were taken into the scheme to re nomi-
nate the populist governor of the state
and at that time they thought that it
would be all right. While they under
stood that the governor had been doing
some business with certain combinations
in the state, yet they did not believe
that it was known on the outside among
the people. They believed that he would
make good candidate with the
strength received from certain schemes
he was working in the state and added
to this the confidence of the people who
did not know the inside secrets of the
administration. Now that it appears
that the people have been able to gain
some information about the state adj
ministratIon the members have sudden
" come to the conclusion that it might
be a good plan to make some changes
in the state ticket. They are afraid THAI
the general kick over the state will in
iure them and hence they are distressed.

The Plain sister.

There is one tyre of true-hearted,
unselfsh woman whom the world
does not know how to appreciate at
her full value. She is the plain sis
ter in family Of pretty daughters
The fact that she is not a beauty is
regarded by the handsome mother as
a personal grievance ana by the bet
ter looking sisters as an excuse for
palming off on to her slender
shoulders all the disagreeable burdens
that they think are not necessary for
butterflies to assume. Instead of be-
ing given the best in the way of
clothing, in order that the need of
good looks which she p ssesses may be
enhanced or any actually unpleasant
physical defects may be hidden
thereby, the ugly duckling is obliged
to take the cast off garments of the
favored one and wear them whether
they are becoming or not.
When invitations come and the eX-
chequer is rather slim the plain one
remains at home, while the dainty,
pretty creatures Of good fortune are
rugged out in new clothes and sent
forth to enjoy the light and the
music, while poor Cinderella remains
behind in a chaos of ribbons dis
carded shoes and heterogeneous toilet
articles that she must straighten up
before the bellies return from the
ball. She is always expected to per-
form the services of maid, TO be ever
ready to wait on the others, prepar-
ing the goodies when company is eX-
pected, but never requested to Join
in the festivities she has shaved so
hard to make a success Sometimes a
sensible man recognizes the worth of
this youthful martyr and bears her
away to a new home before the pref
tier ones have recovered from their

genuine beauty of character lies hid
den and unrecognized behind the

Faulty French.

For some time after her marriage
with Napoleon. the Empress Marie
Louise was extremely ignorant of
the French language. On one occa-
sion, seeing her husband look vexed
over letter he had received from
the Court Of Austria, she inquired of
him what was the matter "Oh,
nothing" reJlied Napoleon, ''your
father is an old ganache, that is ALL"
Marie Louise did not know that this
was French for fool, and took the
first opportunity of asking a cour-
tier what it meant, saying that the
Emperor had applied the expression
to her father. lit means some one
very learned and wise" stammered
the unfortunate courtier. The EN-
press was perfectly satisfied with this
explanation and pleased to learn
new word. A day or two after, she
received the Archchancellor Cam.
baceres In a crowded salon. Some
question was being warmly discussed
in the circle, and her opinion was
asked. Wishing to BE- very gracious,
Marie Louise turned to Cambaceres
and said: 1--WE will re er that
point to the archbishop for we all
know he is the greatest ganache in
Paris.

Mrs. Lease Says.

Referring to Aliens letter and the
excuse offered by BreidenthaI for the
statements therein made, Mrs. Lease
says.
Judge Allen told the truth about
Governor dwellings administration.
When wrote letter charging cOrrup-
ton in high places, Breidenthal de-
nounced me as a malicious liar. When
Judge Allen writes a letter making
similar charges. Breidenthal rushes
into the newspapers with a interview
about what highminded gentleman
he is. This is a distinction without a
difference. I can prove the charges I
have made and 1 suppose Judge Allen
can make his allegations good. As the
lord high executioner of the party,
Breidenthal has to deny these things,
but he has no right to abuse me and
extol Judge Allen, when our offePses
are the same.

lola Register.
The initials 81. M. P" signed to thu
Topeka letter, which appears in all the
populist papers, stand for J. NJ. Pad
gett, disreputable ex-newspaper man
who is hired by the populists to abuse
republicans OF late his scurriIity has
been directed chiefly against F. B.
Dawes, and the Clay Center Times ex-
plains the animus of the attack as fol-
lows:
Padgett was once a newspaper man in
Clay county and he libeled woman, a wife,
a mother, lady, and the husband, instead
of horse-whipping or shooting the scoundrel,
prosecuted him in the courts. Mr.. Dawes
was the lawyer who conducted the prosecu-
ton. Padgett was found guilty and fined.
He formed a strong dislike for Dawes right
then and there. Since going to Topeka il
has intensified. This is the secret of his at
tacks.

when the Liver Reprimands Us

For our neglect of it by inficting upon us sick
headache, by dyeing the skin yellow, coating
the tongue with fur, producing vertigo, pains
in the right side and sOuring the breath, we are
little less than lunatics if we disregard the
chastisement. If we call Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters to our aid, tranquility and health
follow speedily, and with the departure of the
symptoms mentioned, departs also irregularity
of the bowels, which invariably attends disor-
der of the liver. In malarial complaints the
liver IS always involved and 1t IS fortunate
cine is also the finest specific in existence for
every form of malarial disease Nor is it less
eficacious for dyspepsia, failure of appetite
and strength, nervousness and a rheumatic
tendency 1t renews the ability to Sleep and
greatly promotes convalescence after wasting
diseases.

keeper of the Wood Island light has
become famous this week. 1t is GUS

the light and the keeper returns it
by ringing the bell. The other day

The army is composed almost wholly

Artisans and laborers of all kinds are

Half OF the army members are married

Politically, they are divided between
the two leading parties, only ten popu-

and other good qualities, it is clear that
the movement is composed OF a pretty
good class OF citizens.

which always result when the protective
principles are laid aside.
Poisoned and excited BY the wild
statements Of these writers and the dem
agogic appeals Of the democratic speak
ers, the result will be that in the near
future these forces which are now work.
ing will be strong enough to defeat at
the polls the party advocating the doc
trine Of protection. 1t must inevitably
follow that uncertainty and doubt will
ensue. The business men of the coun.
try, fearing the destruction Of the prin.
ciples Of protection, will decline to en-
gage in business. consequently mills will
shut down and the employees will be out
OF work. The people will then see as
they have never seen before that they
cannot be prosperous and have work
while this principle is threatened. In
the midst of their sutfsrings they will
learn that the only way they can BE-
prosperous and happy is to vote for the
party that has built up the industries BY
which they have gained livelihood
because they will then see clearly that
when the factory is shut down there il
no demand for the only thing they have
to sell and that is their labor"
