LIFE WITHOUT INDIA RUBBER.
From Longnan's Magazine. ]


In our own day it really seems as il
we couldn't possibly set on without IN
dia rubber and gutt7 percna. Though
both are of comparatively recent intro
duction the number of purposes to
which they are applied is 50 immense
that our civilization without tlen
would at least be very different frCr7
the form in which we actually know Ii.
To lump a few miscellaneous examples
in a single rligrar(l-without tSose
two. submarine cables would be almost
impossible. telegraphy would ASSUME
many unlike notifications. Folosnes
would not exist. waterproofs 9nd
mackintosFes would be a beautiful
dream. and a rlIbberless world a Ride
Gus reality. Elastic, in the sense in
which ladies use the word. for tying
hats or making carriers, would never
have been evolved: tobacco pouches
would still be of silk or lelTlar, org
combs would be of horn. and our but
tons. paper knives. peEholders, AMI
pipes much dearer than at present.
AS for ma cllinery. where would it r.
without india-rubber cinctures ana
tnbes ard rI'os ara valves AMI buffers?
Where would engineering be without the
endless minute applications of the elias
tic gum? Where would surgery be
without tila innuneraoIe devices. the
syringes ard S1U,rts, the belts and ban
d2 geS, OF which india ~u6ESr forms the
sole, ard, as it seerns to us now. iaiis-
rensabie basis? Fancy putting out
fires without the invaluable hose: far y
whirring manufacto-' IS without the in
evitable gearing. To- bicyclist would
miss his. pneumatic tires: the arts
would miss his ever-handv eraser.

Rabbi Joseph Silverman Of Temple
Emanuel, New York, said in his Sat
urday morning sermon: Let us say
today as has often been said before,
that no man can claim the Hebrew
vote, and there exists no such thing
as the Hebrew vote in realty. Jews
do as they please in politics. Tne Jew
has no place as such in politics. He
is a Jew In the synagogue but else
where he is an American citizen, and,
most of all, at the ballot box"

Hon. @. F. DiRenbacher.

OF the vast amount of excellent con-
gressional timber in the democratic
party in the Big Seventh; district, we
are particularly pleased to notice the
mention il that connection Of the Hon.
G. f. Diffenbacher, of Great Bend.
Mr.. Diffenbacher's impassioned ar
gument in our recent state convention,
in support of the adoption of the free
silver plank of the platform, impressed
us deeply, and was an important factor
in securing the adoption of the free sill
yer policy by the democratic party of
Kansas. To our mind his speech on
that occasion placed him among the
foremost of campaign orators of Kan
SaS, and makes him the logical candi-
date of the democratic party for con-
gress in his district. He showed a
thorough knowledge of and familiarity
with current events, which make him
at this time q valuable exponent of
democracy, and we bespeak for him, if
nominated, an enthusiastic support of
which he might we'll be proud
1t gives us pleasure to say that the
Standard would esteem it high privi
lege to support Mr Diffenbacher should
the nomination fall to Yelling
ton Standard.
The above is a just tribute to our
fellow townsman, Mr.. Diffenbacher,
and here where he is known best the
people, regardless of party. would
be glad to have hun represent the big
Seventh" in our national congress,
knowing that in him the masses or the
people would end a tiFeleSs and a live
champion or their cause. The DEMO
Graf interviewed Mr.. Diffenbacher
upon the subject Of his possible candi-
dacy, and he stated that he was lot a
candidate for the positioni he thought
that. inasmuch as the democrats of the
district had twice voted for aud elected
Jerry Simpson; and as MIR. Simpson
had stood faithfully by all measures
advocated in congress by western dem
ocrats. it would be the proper thing
for the democrats to again nominate
Alr. Simpson.
If Mr. Diffenbacher will make the
race for congress the DEMOCRAT can
assure him hearty support, not only
III Barton county but the entire district,

THEIR DIFFERENT WAYS.

Here is the way the wicked Nebraska Poet
puts it, and there is wisdom in it,
She sought her rights"
Robbed by some cruel chance of liJe's delirhts
With dissatisfied and restless soul
With 8 half logic which she counted whole.
Earnest. no doubt and honest, not unsexed
But hungering and QueTulous snd vexed
With starving instincts in q fruitleSs frame
And with an itching for the sort of fame
Which comes from the mere printing OF name
She clamored for her rights showed Solemn craft
And men,
Brute men.
They only laughed.
H
She did not seek her ssrigsts
She dreamed not OF some path to mannish heights
But followed natures way and deemed il good.
And biOomed from flower to fruit Of woman hood.
She loved the tyrant; bore her noble part
In l1fe with h1En, and thought with all her hesrt
She had her rights
She held that something men and women meant
To be unlike, but each supplement
Unto the other; 'twas her Ehim
He was not more 10 her than she 10 him.
And little children gathered at her knee
And men,
Brute men
Would die for such as she.

blowing done for fall crops.
One of Judge Davis boys got mixed
up in cultivator while out cultivating
corn one day last week, in such man

The railroad man, who owes almost
every merchant in the town in which he
lives, ought to have lots of sympathy
for throwing up good job instead of
sticking to It and paying his honest
debts.
A certain business man in town uses
three colors of paper. When he has a
grievence against a firm he uses red
paper, which is symbolical of blood.
When times are hard and trade Is dull
he writes on blue paper, which is to
Indicate he has the blues. When every
thing is normal he uses ordinary white
paper.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Adopted by the State Convention in sea-
sion at Topeka July 8. 1894,

The Democratic party of Kansas in convention
assembled declares its bidng faith in the eternal
principles of Democracy among which are:
Strict construction of public powers TO the end
that the government may not be subverted and lib
erty menaeed by constant assumption of unauthor-
led powers by public funetionaries.
Local self government, the largest personal lib
Yielding hostility to all forms OF oenirsIiEstion
constant distrust of power, rigid economy in public
affairs.
President Cleveland and the efforts of all true
Democrats in executive and legislative stations in
all that they have done to carry out the principles
of the last Chicago platform The administration
assumed control of the government at time when
Republican extravaganza, pronlgacy ana ulshohesty
had left the public treasury exposed to bankruptcy,
beset with trials and perplexities rarely exper-
fenced by statesmen the direct results of the waste
ful extravagance and infamous legislation of the
Republican party. But it has met every response

Wo endorse and reaffirm the declaration of prin-
eRies announeed by the sSS a. nssonal con
tally the provisions of the platform which declare
that ave deuounee Republican protection as E
frau1 a robbery of the great majority of the Amer
ican people for the benefit of the few. We declare
tito be fundamental principle OF the Democratic
party that the federal government has censtitu-
tional right to impose and collect tariff duties ex-
oept fer the purpose of revenue only, and demand
that the collection OF such shall be limited TO
the necessities of the government when hones J.
and economically administered" and We demand
such speedy egista ion along the line OF tartn re-

Believing that wealth should bear fair share of

and hail with delight the action of a Democratic

system of taxation
We again declare in favor OF bi-metalc cur

upon equal terms fair ratio and without dis

Pertinent Paragraphs.

From the Lawrence Gazette.
This is the season when small boys
politicians swim out beyond their
depth.
The democratic platform is the only
anti-fad platform adoptea in Kansas
this year.
The redemption of Kansas by the
republican party would be like Paradise
regained by Satan.
The Santa Fe railroad is like the
Topeka joints. The officials of the
road say that it is running wide open.
Tie steamer which is to bring SOC
tons of beer from st. Louis to Kansas
City is appropriately named the State
of Kansas
Does the money plank in the repUb-
lican platform mean the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to L? The dem
ocratic plank means that and says that.
A populist paper puts it this way:
The fact is. republicans left the dead
body on the hands of the democratic
party. and are now cursing that organ
iZation because the body smells bad. +"
Sir knight Overmyer will lead a
grand crusade in Kansas this year
against crankism, dishonesty and in-
capacity wherever found. His lance is
sound, his nerve is infiexible, his arm
/ is strong and his aim is true. Shams
viii be pierced and the enemies OF pure
government laid low. Let every DEM
ocrat rally to the old flag and the ban
neT, Democracy, Pare and Simple, y
will be waved in victory

MANY readers of the DEMOCRAT are

agsment of the paper. The low price
of all farm products and general scar
city of money is the cause of this
situation of affairs, and not any dis
honesty or desire to get something for
nothing on the part of our subscribers.
We believe that all will pay as fast as
they can. and entertaining this belief,
with the hope that conditions would be
such that our friends would be better
situated to pay up in the near future,
we have published the paper for the
past year at q heavy loss; have ''staved
off" our creditors almost beyond their
patience, and have continued to keep
the paper up TO the standard it has
maintained for years as the best paper
published in Barton county for ALL
the news, local and general. All this
time we have beer growing deeper in
debt and taking 2n pore responsible
bACo. 4ACoC AsiCAS4OA-
ed that our friends may understand
how badly we need money, and under
standing, may make an extra effort to
square up the numerous small mounts,
which in the aggregate means a large
amount-many hundreds of dollars-to
US. For instance: If one fifth of the
DEMOCRAT subscribers would pay
S1.50, or one years subscription each,
by next Saturday. in would mean $500
that we could that day apply on our
Indebtedness; and that amount paid
out to those we owe would do a large
amount of good. In this connection
premit us to say than we believe any
of our subscribers could, by a little
extra effort, scrape up enough money
to square their subscription account.
Will you not do it?

1t WILL be noticed that in the recent
strike the Pinkertons were conspicuous
for their absence. 1t is under republican
administration that corporations have

and there is no use for Pinkertons.-
