Good Republican Doctrine.

Kansas City, Mo-, Journal.
It is true that many are unfortunate,
that many suffer want. It is the duty
of the prosperous to help these. But
there are few persons SO situated that
honesty, sobriety, industry and inteli-
gence will not surely improve their con-
dition. It is the blessing of this coun-
try that there is no wealth or station
which the honest man may not achieve.
It is true that some men gain wealth by
dishonesty, just as many more reach
poverty by dishonesty, but the thing to
be done is to punish all wrongs and
work everywhere at all times to uphold
the right not to attempt by foolish or
revolutionary measures to overturn the
laws of society, which are the result of
centuries ofexperience, imperfect though
they may be in some details.

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

The state republican convention at To.
peka adopted this platform:
Reaffir1ning the republican national platform
of 1892.
Resolved, First: The constant patriotism Of
our party is in itself guarantee to the nation
that the interests of its defenders, their widows
and orphans, viii be literally cared for, and we
denounce their cruel and deliberate betrayal by
the present democratic administration.
Second: We adhere to the republican doctrine
of protection, and believe that tariff laws should
protect the products of the farm as well as the
factory
Third: The American people favor bimetaI
ism and the republican party demands the use
of both gold and silver standard money with
such restrictions and under such provisions, to
be determined by legislation, will secure the
maintenance of the parity of values of the two
metals, and that the purchasing and debt pay
ing power of the dollar. whether of gold. silver
or paper, shall be at all times equal. The in
terests of the producers of the country, its farm
and its working men, demand that the mIntS
be opened to the coinage of silver OF the mines
of the United States and that congress should
foreign silver sufficient to fully protect the pro
ducts of our own mines.
Fourth: We favor national and state leglsla-
tion for the announcement OF irrigation
Fifth: We denounce the present state admin
istratiOn for its violation of the laws and con-
tempt of the courts. the corruption and lncom-
potency of its officials, its gross mismanagement
of the state institutions and for Il discredlt 1t
has brought upon the good name OF the state.
And we pledge the republican party and the
nominees of this convention to the faithful and
economical discharge of all official duties. to a
strict observance and an honest enforcement OF
law and 70 obedience to the mandates OF the
courts.
Sixth: To the maintenance of these Drinci
pies we invite the support of all patriotic citi-
Zens.

The Photograph as a Witness.

The photograph is being used with
marked effect in English courts Re-
Gently railroad company was sued
by the owner of premises upon a
street under which the road had run
tunnel The complaint stated that
the noise Of the trains going through
the tunnel was so great as to utterly
prevent sleep, while existence in day
light was made unbearable by the
same cause The railroad cOmpany's
attorneys produced in court a phon-
Ograph which they had managed to
have placed in the premises In ques-
ton, and when it was put in motion,
and failed to emit any Of the terrible
noises alleged to have been suffered
by the Compla inants, and the fact
that it has been on active duty in the
building occupied by the latter was
sufficiently established, the judge dis
missed the complaint without further
ceremony virtually holding that the
evidence OF the photograph was moro
accepta BILE than that of the interested
plaintiffs. This decision will open a
great new field for the remarkable
instrument, but it is to be trusted
that the students of to-day who are
asking notes to. be used in future in
the preparation of history of these
times will not press photograph into
service to prove hearafter the truth
OF their chapters. Think what the
effect will be in fifty years hence

belief of some patriotic ana intellect

Mighty is the Truth:

And it will prevail. Against underhand COM
petition and spurious imitation, the genuine
efficacy of the great national tonic, Hostetter 8
Stomach Bitters, always has and always will
prevail. The public recognize it everywhere as
the chief preventive of malaria, and reliable
specific for dyspepsia, constipation nervous
ness, rheumatism, kidney trouble, biliousness
and loss of appetite. Efforts made by irrespon-
sible dealers to compete with it by indirect
means have and will continue to fall upon the
heads, and it may be added, the pockets Of
those making them. Through the length and
breadth of the American continent it is the ac-
knowledged household remedy, reliable and
prompt. 1t relies upon facts, upon public ex-
perience, and upon the emphatic commenda-
ton of the medical fraternity.
