The republican platform contains
but one plank on state issue; that of
irrigation. The rest of it ls taken up
with national question, and on but
one of these does it take a decided
stand. 1T means all things to all
men" so far as touching any issue ex-
cept the tariff. On that question Nc.
Kinleyism is endorsed in the strong
est terms. In view of the fact that
all over the United States McKinley's
fame is being dmmed by the rise of
Tom Reed of Maine, who does not
favor 80 high a tariff, it would seem
that in Kansas the republicans are
very nearly fighting without plat
form. Ergo their whole campaign
of so.called education must neces-
sarily descend to villi6cation and
abuse. On the other hand the peo-
Piles party platform is chock full of
real live issues, which are up to date
and before the people for their solu-
ton. The peoples party stands for
action and I rogrese, while the repub-
lican party is devoting its whole
energies toward holding back, aud
opposing everything ine,C as danger

Count Tolls toi.

Count Tolstoi is thus described by
his latest visitor, who found him at
home: "After passing down long
corridors, which are like so many
entrenchments around Tolstoi's
study, /, at last steod before this re-
markable man. l saw him just as
the celebrated picture shows him
in his full peasants smock, a belt
round his waist, with the white
beard, the melancholy, deep-set eyes,
the coarse gray hair, the thought
full, wrinklcd brows, the strong
hands accustomed to work, which
during his conversation he keeps
passing through his belt, and the
whole touching earnestness which
surrounds the man. Count Leo
Tolstoi makes the impression of o
figure out of the Bible"

Take a Laugh.

There is absolutely nothing that
will help you bear the ills of life so
well as good laugh. Laugh all you
can. If the clothes line breaks,
if the cat tips over the milk and the
dog elopes with the roast, if the
children fall into the mud stimuli
taneously with the advent of clean
aprons, if the new girl quits in the
middle of house-cleaning and though
you search the earth with candles
you can find none other to take her
place; if the neighbor in whom you
have trusted goes back on you and
keeps chickens, if the chariot wheels
of the uninvited guest draw near
when you are out of provender and
the gaping of your empty purse
is like the untitled mouth of q
young robin, take courage if you
have enough sunshine in your heart
to keep a laugh on your lips.-Ex-

Glasses VS.. Masses.
[Donanoe,s Mngnzlne for Max.l

lDonahoe's Magazine for May.
There can be no modus vivendi
established between the classes and
the masses. Sparta agreed at one
time to accept the joint reign of two
kings: but pure democracy must
govern alone or be governed. If the
people make the laws, aristocracy can
not. If aristocracy gains foot-room in
this republic, democracy will become
but the splendid masquerade of power
paraded for the amusement of the few.
No great civilization was ever based
upon the stark brain-pcwer Of any set
of men. 1t is not enough to think out
an algebraic formula of human society.
1t must he lived out. Both the
aristocrat and the savage can think, >
sometimes they think alike, but
neither can found great nations. Civil
ization is the robust child of brain
and heart, and must grow in an atmos-
phere of morality.
The purely intellectual aristocrat
bred inthe tolls of a subtle erudition
unwarmed by the temperature of
humanity, can domineer, but he can
neither guide nor counsel wisely. Tho
sentiment of even justice and of
brotherhood. man to man, avowed in
universal suffrage and vindicated in
many ordeals of this the greatest of
nations, is the vital educating force of
the century.

Blue Ribbons as Beer Checks.

1t is useless to deny that a great
many bogus Murphy ribbons are be-
ing worn, consequently when a fel-
low is seen with a knot of blue fabric
in his buttonhole ii doesn't neccssa-
rily follow that he has been to the
Murphy meetings or signed the
pledge.
1t is probably true that the bogus
ribbon received its impetus from the
plan inaugurated by a half dozen
Water street saloon keepers of max
ing the price of q Murphy ribbon a
glass of beer. The traitor Murphy
ties crank the malt liquid and the
bartender received the azure ribbon
as trophy.
The plan worked well enough for a
day or two, and no doubt number
of genuine converts were captured.
Now it has been worked to death by
the FOUNDERS" who are quick to
adopt any scheme that promises a
drink without paying for it. Any
way the plan has been abandoned,
and the price of beer is nickel a
schooner again.
"Irish" Burns, who is an admir-
able Crichton in his way-an inde-
fatigable student of Shakespeare, as
well as adept burglars credited
with being the inventor of the bogus
ribbon racket, and the fantastic
jag which Burns had one day when
he succeeded in evading four police
men by lodging around the piles of
lumber in lumber yard is said to
have been purchased solely with blue
ribbons.-Bridgeport Union.

1t appears, that for long distances,
electricity takes the lead in economy
over all other systems. 1t has also,
remarks the Journal cited, a great
advantage in the focility with which
the power may be subdivided, and
there appears to be no doubt that,
in future coal mining, electricity
will be much used for coal cutting,

WRECK OF THE SUSAN E. PECK.
All Caused by the Artfic al Limb Of
the Pilot.
Have you wooden leg? Have
you make-believe arm? Have you
nerves of steel? Do you take iron
tonics2 These are some of the per-
sonal interrogatories that will con-
front the future applicant for a Ii
cense to act as pilot of steam ves-
sells. When the government inspec-
tors sit to receive applicants for IL
censes they will fire these questions
off. If the surprised applicant
pleads guilty to any of the counts he
must subject his artificiality to the
scrutiny of the members of the
board. This all comes through the
discovery that a ships compass
needle takes queer turns and cuts up
unaccountable shines sometimes.
The Philadelphia board of under
writer's had the danger called forci-
bly, to them by the loss of the schoon-
er Susan E. Peck, which went ashore
at Bar Point, Lake Erie, in Sep
tember last, entailing a loss of twen-
ty thousand dollars, which the in
surance companies had to pay. This
disaster, it is'claimed, was directly
traced TO the slight deviations of the.
compass due to the steel in her
pilots artificial leg. The matter
was called to the attention of the
treasury department, which will
shortly issue circular to the in
spectors of hulls and boilers, who
constitute the local board of exam
iners, as to the course to pursue
when limbless applicants for pilots
certificates come forward. The
proper protection of the ships COM
pass must ae perfected at all haz-
ards.
