DAVID OyERMYER, who is now
preaching the doctrine of democracy i'm
consideration of his appointment as
railroad commissioner i'm case Morrill,
is elected, us earnestly advocated the
election of St. John us lie does now
the democratic ticket. lie favored
prohibition and ranted as earnestly
for woman suffrage as lie does Eow
against 1T. He was rewarded by the
republicans electiug him to the legis.
lature.- When Il member of that body
he was the Jealous advocate of the
excess fare bill, which since proved SC
obnoxious. Two years ago lie sought
the populist nomination for congress
man-at-large, but was hardly known II
the convention. Now, ostensibly d
democrat, he seeks the oGtce of rail
road commissioner under republican
rule. Like Richardson, chairman OF
the democratic state central committee
he does not want the democratic ticke
to receive more than Sc. 900 votes TO-
fear his purpose will he defeated

A Fad Policy.

EDITOR GRAPHIC:-Will you allow,
now, at the close of the campaign, to
enter warning against what is u
ruinous thing in politics.
1 wish to congratulate you person
ally for refusing to engage i'll political
garbage gathering.
We have had sufficient filth of late
to give every voter moral blood poison
ing, and everybody, without regard to
political affiliations, would be glad to
see such things discontinued in the
future-unless it be someone entirely
destitute of patriotism and decency.
The republican party made sui
cidal stroke in 1SS0-one from the ef-
fects of which they have never recov-
ered-when they tried for partisan
ends to tarnish the honor of General
Hancock.
The smut Of 1854 did more to elect
Mr.. Cleveland the first time than the
much abused st. John did.
Tie man, or set of men, who will
publish Oh candidate, during Il cam
paign, SANDER that cannot he MAIN
tainad in open court, for the purpose
of defeating him, ought to be sent to
the penitentiary fer not less than
twenty years.
A friend tells ME that ''we are
sometimes forced to fight the devil
with fire."
AS Methodist, have always un-
derstoOd that fire was the element of
Satan's kingdom, and instinctively L
slrank from it, as l fear he under
stands how to use it better than We
do, in which case the advantage would
be in favor of the old parties.
Moral filth is the "breath of hell"
and 10 NEW larty need never hope to
win victory simply by getting dirtier
than the devil. The republican party
is the only party that has ever sue
ceeded in accomplishing that feat.
May we never forget that it is ours
to furnish facts for the education of
the people politically, and leave the
mud Throwing to our enemies, as that
is all they ale able to do.

farms. There was a man here the
other day who represents a colony of
fifty families in Pennsylvania, who are
going to settle within fifty miles OF
Topeka. They are American farmers,
and expect to locate in Kans Is soon.
There is more activity in real estate
than there has been for several years. ,
ROSS 4 Co.: Things are looking
up in Topeka. 1 have made some
hgures and find that since january
1st, over S214,O0 worth of property is
being sold nearly every day, and real
estate sales are betrer than they have
been since the bOom.'
rs. NJ. Wood: Property is being
sold daily, and l have several large
cash sales ON now which will be clos
ed this week. The sale of property
shows good healthy indication. We
are selling farms to people from
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, and there
was a man here from North Carolina
to-day who intends to buy farm near
Topeka, for cash.
Now, voter, would you spoil all of
this new boom by putting the old
gang back into office to run up eX-
penseS and disgrace the state morally ?
This puts the lie to all tins talk about
driving capital out of Kansas. Out
of their own mouths they stand con-
victed of lying about the state and
her people. j. NJ. p"

do think the republicans will win?
To be frank with you, ten days ago 1
believed they would be successful, for
all the signs pointed that way. But
change has come over the situation
since. The signs now point to the
success of the peple's party and the
republican managers and campaign
speakers are themselves responsible
for it. Down i'm the breast of very
American citiZen there beats the spirit
of fair play and in this campaign that
spirit is in rebellion against the meth
ods pursued by the republicans to over
come their populist opponents. The
people like fair, open, manly fight
and, per contra, they abhor villifica-
tiOn, slander and abuse. ."-Joh II

Overmyer's Record.

David Overmyer, the democratic
candidate for governor who has been
so vOrciferOusly shouting rabid demo-
cratic doctrines over the state, and
hurling invectives at the heads of the
advocates of woman suffrage, is some
thing Of hypOcrite in his ideas on
some questions. Recently published
speeches delivered some years ago
prove Overmyer to have been an origi-
IA supporter of equal suffrage and d
prohibition extremist as we'll. Here
are his utterances on the questions:
"Women of Kansas, God has given
you a grand opportunity to demand
equality and justice before the law.
1t is your right to demand. that you
are permitted TO labor for the welfare
of your state. l have always been in
favor of woman suffrage, simply be-
cause deem it unwise and unjust to
disfranchise an entire class of human
beings. This question of female suf-
frage, OH which our platform is plain
and outspOken, is one of the live issues
of the time. 1t has ceased to he Il
theory for wherever 1t has been tried
it has proved a success. am aware
of the existence of prejudice5 among Il
certain class against female suffrage,
but fail to find single well-fouhded
argument in opposition to it."-David
Overmyer at Valley Falls, 1882.
Gas soon as whiskey was touched in
any form, the nursing bottle was
snatched from the lips of the democ-
racy. Deprivation of whiskey OF beer
might cause some inconvenience to the
republicans, to the democrat it meant
absolute starvation. David Over
u.yer at Valley Falls, 1882.
"Democratic orators claim that pro-
hibltion has driven the, e.,German-Amer-
leans from our state and put Il stop to
all further immigration for all time to
come. Those that have given this
matter some attention are well aware
that only the very lowest class of Ger
mans, such as are Il Gishonor to any
country, are opposing the enforcement
of the prohibition laws. Should this
class Of people leave the state our peo-
pie would only be the gamers. The
better class of Germans, those that
have labored in the ranks of the repub-
lican party for the upbuilding of the
state, will ever be loyal to the part y
that has by the enactment of wise and
humane laws placed Kansas In the
front rank among the states of the
union."-David Overmyer at Valley
Falls, 1882.
elf any one really wished to belong
to separate party there might he
some difference of opinion as to the
exact policy to be pursued, but 1T is
certain that no Proposition could be
presented mild enough to suit the
democratic party" david Overmyer
at Valley Falls, 1887.

In George yyashinetOn,s Arms.

In DR.. Mines volume Of reminis-
cences, 3" A Tour Around New York, "
the author devotes a paragraph to the
attractions of Battery park and adds a
pleasing little story Of time before his
own:
/ remember a dear old lady who
loved to talk about this park and tell Of
the people she had met here and the
scenes she had witnessed. and of these
one man and one mornings adventure
stood out most prominent.
A little thing in white, her nurse had
brought her to the park to witness a
civic ceremony, and the crowd prevent
ed her from obtaining good view of
the pageant.
AS with child's impatience che tried
to press through the throng tall and
handsome elderly gentleman, clad in a
suit of black velvet and with dress
sword at his side, stopped down to her,
inquired pleasantly about her trouble
and then lifted her upon his shoulder
and held her there until the procession
had passed.
Delighted with what she saw, the
child thought little about the gentleman
who had brushed away her trouble, but
thanked him when he released her with
kiss and set her down upon the ground.
AS he moved away the nurse in an ave-
struck voice asked the child if she knew
whose arms had held her and then told
her that it was President Washington.
The little eyes watched him out of sight
and never forgot his stately appearance.

prouder of having been the heroine of
this incident than of all the social hon.
ors that afterward fell to her lot.-

bedizening them with jewelry, tricking
them out in purple and fine linen, and
rushing them into marriage, for no other
reason than to get rid of them because
there are others growing up, and because
they are crazy TO secure for their
offspring big incomes and what is
fatuously termed SOCIAL position, "
when mothers steadfastly and determin-
edly impress upon their progeny the alb
solute necessity of deep consideration and
reflection before taking step which can
never be retTaced, and which, il hastily
and thoughtlessly taken, may embitter
and perhaps ruin several lives; when
mothers become the true guides, teach
ers and loving advisers OF their children,
instead of being, as now, their covert
enemies; when they impress upon them
that q passing fancy or a spasmodic
passion must not be mistaken for
love, and that love which is not
based on mutual respect will
never serve as the foundation of mar
ried happiness; and when they teach
them that marriage WAS not instituted
for the simple purpose OF getting them
"well provided for"-in other words, of
enabling them to live the lives of
drones; when, in short, mothers
will no longer think it wrong"
to discuss marriage and its attendant
responsibilities with their daughters,
but will initiate them into the duties
and requirements of welded life, and
look upon them as their best friends
instead of as burdens and ignorant
beings, from whom everything relating
to the innermost life of woman-or OF
men-must be jealously hidden, while
girls must be permitted to see the arti-
fetal side OF life and be callously left to
find out the rest for themselves-then,
and not till then, shall we have moral
marriages, unions of hearts and
souls, in which the characters
of both men and women will be
elevated, purified, and developed
unions in which both husband and
wife can truly say-not only at the
altar, but every day of their lives-thst
they will "love, honor and respect

Faults In Conversation.

Dean Swift once said: "There are two
faults in conversation which appear
very different, yet arise from the same
root and are equally blamable. l mean
an impatience to interrupt others and
the uneasiness of being interrupted our
selves. The two chief ends of conversa-
tion are to entertain and improve those
we are among or to receive those bene-
fits ourselves, which whoever will con-
slider cannot posi- bly, run into either of
those two errors, because when any man
speaketh in company it is to be supposed
he doth it for his hearers sake and not
his own, so that common discretion will
teach us not to force their attention if
they are not willing to lend it, nor, on
the other side, to interrupt him who is
in possession, because that is in the
grossest manner to give the preference
to our own good sense. New York
