Resolutions Of Lyon County Alliance.

Resolutions Of Lyon County Alliance.
WHEREAS, Senator John Martin, did on
the 9Th day Of February, 1894, introduce
bill in the United States senate, to retire
judges Of the federal courts on full psy
whenever they may become incapaCitated
for duty by reason Of sickness or other dis
ability; now, therefore, be il
Resolved, By the Lyon County, Kansas,
Alliance, in open session, this 17th day of
February, 1894, that we oondemnt the action
Of Senator Martin in introducing bill for
creating civil retired list, believing as we
do that it will be but the beginning Of a
system whereby the taxpayers Of our coun-
try will be compelled to support in idleness
vast horde of officials, whose liberal sal
aries are sufficient TO make provision for
old sgS or ia hsalth.
Second aat we will oppose the nomins-
tiOn and election to office Of any person who
refuses to oppose the principles of the
above named bill.
ThiT6-ThRt q copy Of these resolutions
be sent TO Senptors Martin and PETER and
Representative Charles Curtis, and also TO
the Topeka ADVOCATE, the National Watch
man, and the Journal Of the Knights of
Labor, with the request for publication.

his boy say this, and turning to George
with tears In his eyes he said: "Come to
my arms, my sooner boy, I would dar-
ling sight rather have you break down

George afterwards became a great man
and rode on pass. He went all over the
state showing his little sledge hammer
and telling funny stories. His father
gave him q pass over all his railroads

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cOus lining Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inAsmed you have q rum
bling sound Of imperfect hearing, and when
ID is entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal condi-
tiOn, hearing viii be restored forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by oatarrh
which is nothing but an inAsmed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (CauSed by catsrrb) that
cannot be on red by Halls Catarrh Cure.

HOW We REMEMBER THEM.
The Story of the Bright Boy and His
Little sIsdge Hammer.

great men have scme triHing incident or
some little story connected with their
lives that we remember them by. These
little things associate themselves in our
minds with the men, and the mention OF
the one always calls up the other. Those
are generally the things that the chill
dren learn about great meD, and they
remember them together all their lives.
We always remember Washington and
the little hatchet story together, or when
we think OF Franklin we remember about
him sending the lantern upin the clouds
90 that he could see what the lightning
was made Of. We more often think OF
Lincoln splitting rails or trading horses
than we do Of him uniting the north and
south or freeing the slaves. When we
ring up Patrick Henry we are always
answered by "Give me liberty or give me
death" When we lot sip, as we often
do, our chance Of being president for the
sake of being right, we call to mind the
fact that Henry Clay said, IL would
rather be right than bs president"
These are a few instances OF great
men Of the past. Let US take q look at
the lives Of some of the noted men Of. our
own day, in the nation and state, and
see il we can discover something they
have done or said that will help to keep
their memory green. Cleveland said

The Tariff Bill Passed.


After ''drs gging its slow length
along" for mouths, the tariff bill has
passed both Houses Of Congress, aad is
now before The Executive awaiting bis
final action. The free traders are much
depressed in spirits, because what is
known as TIE Wilson bill or some meas
ure with alike free trade tendencies could
not become a law. and the protaetionists
are correspondingly elated that the bus
iue3s interests Of the country are not
totally destroyed by the enactment into
law Of such runious heTesy. The new
bill is not as wise measure as the Nc
Kinley act, and cannot be expected to
b, as tru gal Of immediate results as fol-
lowed the passage Of the latter law, but
at the same time the belief prevails that
manufactures can exist under its provis-
ions, and will gradually resume operations
giving employment to many of the at
present unemployed, and necessarily re-
move much of the distress now prevail =
ing throughout the country. At any
event it is not free trade measure -
Republicans rejoice that egea Democrats
who have for 50 many years. SO vehe-
mently denounced the great principal Of
protection. the chef policy of their
party, should be compelled at last to ac-
knowledge the wisdom and souudness Of
the doctrine of protection to American
industries and American wages" and
agree that it must yet prevail To eat

cies of time that give rise to the neces
sity Of new policies upon which the par
ty may seize to place itself in the posi-
ton Of commanding the respect of even

States.
Speculation is rife as to whether th'
President will sign the new tart # bill o
not. Wehave no doubt on the subject
Who dares to take the respon slbiht,

mands of the country for settlement O

will aot tolerate further delays, and as

dent will sign it, or permit it to becom
law. Judging from the manner of til
man, we believe he will sign it.

The career of the commonwealers ha'

After marauding the country around
Hyattsville for several weeks, State aid
was appealed to by the local authorities

Brown furnished deputy sherifs enough
to arrest the whole clmo on Thursday Of
last week and they were, Lightweight
IN number, duly committed to the House
of Correction, each for three months, as
Migrants Such fate was not uuex
pected by the observing public; while
the congregation of such body of idle
men was significant of a condition of af-
fairs which should not exist in this
country popular sympathy vas against
the movement, because the manner of
relief asked was utterly impracticable,
preposterous and absurd. And besides
too, in the make up of the so-called
army the outlaw, the vagrant and the
tramp predominated without objection,
and such class of people were not
worthy of consideration in the formation
of the policies of this government. The
people of this State have reason to re-
joice over the lucky termination of the
would-be sensation, and the governor of
the State deserves their commentator
for the prompt and successful manner in
which he aided to rid the State of such
cancerous incubus. Hungry and half
naked many of Coxey's soldiers of idle
ness had begun to straggle over the
State, to the terror of the country
through which they passed, pilfering
and committing other acts Of lawlessness
as they went along and were being ar
