What the People Make It.
Senator John j. Ingalls, spoke to 1000
people at Olathe Saturday afternoon. He
said on the silver question:
81 want to say that I am a bimetalist,
pure aud simple, in favor of the free
coinage of American silver at the ratio
Of Is to i, and believe that the Repub-
lican party stands, on that platform; and
4 go further and say that l believe that
good portion Of the Industrial difficulties
that surround US, the depression of value,
the loss Of credit, the staguatiOn of bust
ness, IS due to the destruction of the
money purchasing power, and business
viii never be restored until silver is re-
placed in the full exercise of its func-
lions as one Of the money metals of the
American people
The question Of female suffrage is
Dne Of the issues before the people of
the state in the approaching campaig n.
IL mas not been made a party question,
and II ought not to be made a party
question have no doubt but that the
participation of active and intelligent
women IN public affairs would be of dis
unct advantage to US, but I don't think
AZ would be any advantage to the women
and l told Susan b Anthony not a great
OF the purest and noblest representatives
Of American women, that I believed that
IN the final outcome the great obstacle to
the reform that she advocated would be
found not in the hostility of men. but in
the Indifference Of women.
All 1 have to say Is, whenever I am
convinced that the women of this state
want to vote, I hall be an advocate of
female suffrage, and that is good doc
trlne for any man to stand on. There ia
some rank hereay crowded into party
politics in these latter days, based upon
a funda mental misrepresentation OF the
functions OF government In this country
There Is no authority IN this country
except that Of a majority of the people.

perform their duty, because there are
more good men, there are more upright
men, there are more patriotic men, there
are more intelligent men in every com

TO srRAIGHTEN OUT THE KINKS

That, Says Harper, is Why Railroads Go
Into Hands of Receivers.
Jesse Harper who is now speaking for
the Populists in Kansas is eccentric, and
his quaintness of expression will hold
the attention of his hearers though they
may not agree with him.
'sAll this talk about the railroads makes
me tired said he. ado you know that
five eighths of the railroads are in the
hands of the government now. The
thieves found they could not run them
any longer and then they turned them
over to the government to straig hten
out the kinks and when they are fixed up
they ask the government to hand them
over and let the fellows try it again"

yuIgar gossip.

While this city is not exceptional neither
better nor worse than similar commune
ties throughout the length and breadth
OF the land, the following from the Little
Falls Herald is just as applicable here
as there It is an empty. il nota vicious
mind, that can finds nothing loftier to
! give expression to than personalities
-tor it seems to be human nature in dis
cussiug people to emphasize, dwell upon
and exaggerate the seamy side of people,
to put the worst rather than the best
construction upon their actions. In this
connection it is worthy of notice that
society in the east has made a broad
step forward 1in adopting the fad OF
speaking complimentary things of per-
sons. While it is only fad, and smacks
strongly Of insincerity yet it leaves only
one step more to be taken toward puri-
flying the social atmosphere, in this di-
rection, and that is to, drop from CONVEX
sation all Personalities. SO far as discuss
ing peculiarities are concerned:
Itis astonishing how much CONVERSE
ton is apparently necessary to run this
word. She saws" and Il say" "Says
he" and Says ]" greet the ear about
500 times day, more or less. A group
OF three or four people make click clack |
like typewriting machine. What do
they talk about? Chiefly trivial person.
al matters that reasonable, human |
being ought 10 be ashamed to remember, |
much less repeat. ~ ssz-
The object OF talk should be to COM
mtlnicate needed information8 Ito give
pleasure and entertainment in a way /
that is not degrading or demorallzing. |
What is called "the news" OF a neighbor-
hood is commonly both vulgar and
demoralizing. Will it improve heart,
mind or morality to know that Miss A
mas bought a red hat witha green feath-
cr, or that Mrs. B and her husband
quarrel awfully, and that c has lot of
furniture that lie cannot pay for and
must send back to the store? On the
contrary, it trltterS away your memory,
makes you ill-natured, vulgar minded
and empty headed to know all the petty
personal affairs OF those about you.
Keep your soul high and clear upon-a
plane above contemptible~person alities.
Nine-tenths OF the glbble gable of men
and women has no reason for being.
Personalities are not fit subjects for con-
versation among Intellectual and cult
waited people. They never are subjects
OF conversation among such people. The
cultivated, intellectual person who can
talk of science, philanthropy. art, and
the sweet, grand thoughts of msn. when
assalled by some babbling idiot with a
torrent of personalities, feels as though
a torrent of muddy water were pouring
into his ears.
