REV. WILSON, the evangelist, who is doing
such a grand work at the Methodist church,
delivered grand blackboard lecture, Wednes-
day afternoon. We wish we could reproduce
the lecture, but cannot do so. Among other
good things, he said: eff l should ask what
picture of Christ would you like best? many OF
you, doubtless, would prefer Him where lie sat
in the household with Martha and Mary and
Lazarus-such a beautiful, peaceful, homellke
scene but if l could have the picture which
would like best, it would be where He, with
whip of cords, drove out of the temple the
1noney-changers and them that sold doves Inc
reverend gentleman scored Republicanism and
Democracy numerically. He said both are
rotten to the core. 1t was amusing to see some
of our Republican friends twisting about IN
their seats, and a couple of 'em got so uncom-
Portable that they had to go out Rev. Wilson
is the subject of some very coarse, lying re-
marks from old-party sources because he has
dared to stand before this people and tell the
truth. We have heard different persons express
wonder because so little apparent good has been
accomplished at these meetings, and cannot re-
frain from saying that whenever the members
of the church will DO as they TALK-wlll VOTE
as they pRAY-will live up to their professions
will put into practice the decalogue and the
golden rule and let the world know that their
professions are not as sounding brass and tink-
ling cymbals, then will the world begin to see
that there is reality in this thing called religion;
but, so long as men go to church and pray the
Lord to pulverize the rum power while they go
to the polls each election day and help elect
gang of fellows who labor to perperuate this
same rum power; so long as they vote to keep
in power class of men who oppress their fel-
low men in order to pile up riches and empty
honors for themselves-men who mock at the
doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man-just that long will the
world look with suspicion upon the church. II
a church member processes to have purlry OF
heart, we are constrained to ask, How do you
vote? Friends, think of this.

THE national buccaneers were recently IN
session in Baltimore. They are not of that
school of buccaneers who take their lives IN
their hands and rove the oceans in quest OF spoils
but that class who rob by and through laws by
which they can with greater celebrity and safety
rob the people of the remnant of effects yet in
their possession. The meeting, in view OF the
meeting of congress and the well-known cuckoo
crowd there. is ominous of an entailment of ad-
ditional burdens on the people, and Tor this
keep your eyes peeled.

MRS. LEASE AT HOME AGAIN.

Mrs. Mary E. Lease has returned from Cali
fornia, and, evidently, is glad to get back to
Kansas. She has purchased a garden spot of
twenty acres not far from San Francisco, and
has contracted to have it planted in fruit trees
suited to that country. She says she expects to
make that her winter home.

LETTER FROM CAPT. LLOYD.

DEAR CHAMpE AND WIFE: Can such thing
be possible that Kansas had the first and last
Peoples party governor? Eth? And the pains
taking and patriotic Senator w. A. Peher-will
he be the first and only United States senator
from "bleeding Kansas? Don't all answer at
once AS things, politically, look to me now,
humanity will have to look to the cavaliers OF
the Palmetto state-South Carolina.
The Peoples party Of Westchester county,
N. Y, will send delegate or write conmuni-
cation to the Peoples party conference that
meets at St. Louis, Dec. 28th. l pledge my
self to the conference that New York will send
good men to the national convention of the
Peoples party which meets in '96. We shall
say to the conference at St. Louis, be sure and
confer strong enough, that South Carolina, Ala
bama, Georgia and Kansas will be at the con-
vention of the Peoples party that meets some
where and some time in the year 1896. Then
for long pull, strong pull and pull alto
pether. Amen hope to shout on that occa-
sion.
l coincide with what Hon. 7. E. Watson
saws about the St. Louis conference-what it
should do and should not do-in his daily of
Dec. nth. l want you to put ine on record as
saying shall give up the political contest if
the wealth-producers of South Carolina are not
represented at St. Louis. l know Bro. Stokes,
member-of-congress-ele from South Carolina,
quite well.

No more usury will we pay out.
But rally round the greenbacks, rally once again,

THERE is to be national convention of Pop
ulsts at St. Louis, December 28 and 29, which
will be attended by number of Kansans high
in the party councils. An effort will be made
to commit the party to the single issue of free
silver, and lively time may be looked for.
The Populist party is not free silver party,
and never was, and the honest members of the
organization acknowledge it. The free silver
plank was placed in the platform as a vote
catcher, and was something of success. Pop
ulists believe in but one kind of money, and
that is legal-tender paper, issued by the govern
ment alone, directly to the people, that shall be

true that a conference has been called at st.
Louis for the purpose of discussing certain
measures, chief among which is the silver
question, and it is true that number of Popu-

only get one idea at time through their skulls
will be there for the purpose of trying to mar

Gold In the Arts.

From a historical and political point Of
view gold is perhaps the most interesting
Of all the metals. Since the earliest ages
mankind has had an instructive attraction
for it. Some years ago a celebrated pro.
fessor admitted three little children, who
could only just walk, into a room where
there was gold ball and a silver ball, each
exactly of the same size, upon the floor.
They all instinctively stretched out their
little hands toward the gold ball, and did
not appear to take the slightest notice of
the other.
Its peculiar properties and its scarcity
have rendered gold more valuable than
any other metal, says Dr. Thomas Thorn
son. But gold is only valuable on account
Of its comparative rarity and some of its
properties, which are exceedingly remark
able, such as its inalterability when kept
exposed to the air. its ductility, and its
malleability. In other respects it is far
less valuable than iron, which if we except
aluminium is the most common metal OF
the earth's strata
The attempts Of the alchemists to con.
vert other metals into gold form an inter.
esting and not altogether uniC,ortant
period in the history of the Development
of science. This period extends more or
less over twelve centuries, and though
modern chemistry has since been estab.
lished on firm basis there still exist here
and there in Europe a few persons who
propagate the ideas of the alchemists, and
believe that it is not only possible to trans.
mute metals, but that as chemical science
progresses so will medical knowledge -

1t is fortunate that some rules in relation
to repletion are no longer observed. One
which was noticed among the Hurons and
Algonquins of Canada by the early French
missionaries, and styled by them le festin
mauger tout, consisted in observing, as a
religious custom, u gluttonous obligation
which sometimes ended in the death Of the
human hog. In observing this curious Gus
tom, which all old accounts say was often
attended with much loss Of life, the com,
municant was expected to eat every parti.
Gle of food that was set before him.
A festival somewhat of the same nature,
celebrated in cultured England" during
the reign of Henry ", and even later, was
called "gluttOn mass" A less dangerous,
