bitter tears that chased each
other along the bridge of her nose
and splashed upon the fried eggs
that lay with the sunny side up
before her.
Regretfully her glance rested
upon her husband, who set in his
dressing gown and nervously toyed
with his spoon.
"NO, Annabel," he was saving,

utterance.
"-th-that you would gladly

He started and turned pale.
"Did say that?" he eagerly de.
manded.
"YOu did, Plantagenet."

Morrill, on the Panic.

Compare Governor Lewelling's senti-
ments on the bond question with
Morrill's, and then say for whom you
will vote.
Major Morrill, in his Kansas City
speech said:
1 believe as firmly as stand here,
that if PRESIDENT Cleveland had, in
March of last year. issued Il procIama-
tiOn stating that there would be no
change in the tariff laws and that lie
would sell bonds as long as he could get
gold for them to maintain the credit Of the
nation, that there would have been no
panic at all.
1t is probably true that if the bank
ers could have secured an unlimited
bond issue they would not have con-
spired to bring Oh panic: and the
voters of Kansas will not fail to OBJ
serve that the would-be governor puts
himself squarley OIL record, without
solicitation, for the issue of bonds--the
increase of the interest-bearing debt
of the coutry, to meet government ex-
penditures in time of profound peace.

Government Ownership.

We want to say few words to those
who think that government ownership
of railroads is impractical.
In Australia, which in many parts
is sparsely settled, you can ride 900
miles for ,S6.5O OH first-class ticket.
WOrkingmen ride thirty miles for ten
cents, one-third a cent mile, or one
ninth OF the local fare per mile here.
In Hungary, where the country is
is more denseiy populated, the fare is
less-six miles for one cent or one
sixth of cent per mile. Since Hun
gary has owned her own railways fares
and freight rates nave been cut down
one-half, wages doubled, and yearly
revenue OF 81 900. 900 paid to the gov
ernment.
In Germany the fare is a little higher
and you can ride only four miles for
one cent. The wages have increased
12O per cent higher than they were
when private corporations owned them.
Last year the profit to the German
government was S25, 100000.
Experts estimate that, government
ownership Of railroads would save
$40, 900, 900, 900 to the people of the
United States annually, besides the
better wages paii to 700 coo railroad
men.

A German on Equal Suffrage.

First, they claim: 1.-The women do
not want the suffrage themselves, only
II small majority, the leaders do. -
Well, what of 1t? Was it not alway
thus? Who in former times were the
advocates of men suffrage? Only the
few educated, lIberal-minded and lib
erty loving men, not the uneducated
anu Indifferent class. We would still
be in the dark ages if those noble souls
had not their ali, life, liberty and for
tune and relaxed in their efforts to get
it, therefore it behoyes every man of
justice and sense to do his duty to help
carry Woman Suffrage, to give the
world and mankind another good lift
in the right direction.
Second. Some say: Look, the women
do not all vote at the school and mu-
nicipal elections. Friends, I have no
other answer, there are lots of men,
who do not vote at all, let everybody
do as he or she likes, that is their busi-
ness, not ours.
Third. Some other mossbacks and
intelligent (?) men say: 1.-The women
are not intelligent enough to vote
right This is the most unfortunate
of all their arguments: The average
Anglo American women are generally
more educated more intelligent than
the AnglO-American men.
Fourth. Some say: ''The woman
belongs to her sphere, to cook. do
house work, raise children, etc, etc."
Now 1 ask you all in candor, will it be

wife if she goes once year to the polls
to deposit her ballot, AM she may read

moral horizon of women will be cleared,

rades of the war and all others '.to

think L would be Safe in saying
that the same thing has been said to
me hundreds of times in the last
twenty years, and that long ago gave
this subject careful study and Thought
and will give here the result of my i'll
vestigatlons as briefly as possible:
On the oath day of May, 1864, our
brigade came in contact with Gen.
Hardee's corps of confederate infantry
near Dallas, Georgia. Fearing lest
they might attempt to drive us from
the field before support could arrive.
We threw up a haS;y line of breast
| works composed of rails. stones,
chunks or ''anything that woul.i stop IA
| bullet" and took shelter behind our
| improvised fouifications with the firm
resolve to 'uie in the last ditch. -
When the rebels sent to disiodge Us
came where we could see them we
began TO ''shoot," some of the boys
sticking the n1izzle Of their guns over
the tops of our works and blazing
away, while they lay tlat OIL the ground
to keep themselves screened from tie
enemies bullets.
After the Eight vas over We found

one small sapling not more than ten
feet in front of us with - of our bull
let marks on it. They were from ten
to thirty feet from the ground and rs
the enemy had very few men in their
ranks of than heighth, it was evident
that those balls, 1T least, had done
them very little harm; and l wonder il
those who fired them are "voting ~
they shot''-over the heads of the enc
mics Of their country?
On the night of July 3rd, 1864, with
three other comrades, was placed in
one of the ''ports'' ut the foot of keii-
esaw mountain. The night was very
dark but we were ordered to .'keep up
IL constant hre whether you see any
thing or not until you are relieved"
which we did uwtil daylight next
moningGhring nearly 300 shots apiece
although we could see nothing at all to
shoot at.
Tell me, somebody, am to "vote as
1 shot" that night, with no object in
view but to shear it rattle?' l fear
some of us have been doing that very
thing for the last twenty-five years.
In all my experience in the army 1
never knew union soldier who was
lighting to support any particular
party-but democrats, republicans,
wings, free-soilers or know-nothings
were all fighting for ''our country 'and
yet l am told by An old cOmrade, on
the streets of Kinsley, that we ought
to ''vote as we shot," and he expressed
the wish 'that all old soldiers who did
not vote for Mr.. Harrison at the last
presidential election would lose their
pensions
When 1 was in the army 1 believed
it to be my duty to use not only all my
strength but all my intelligence to help
bring into subjection all the ''enemies
u oppOsers whomsoever'' of the gov
ernment, even to the taking of life, if
necessary-and in civil life it is equally
my duty to shoot politically any man
who stands between my country and
her greatest good, and this is just
what l have been trying to do for the
last twenty years and what expect to
do while God lets me livs in spite OF
those who use the heading of this arti-
Gle as party whip to drive us back
into the 6. o. p.

We Must own the Railroads,

The New York Record is a pretty
good reform paper. 1t staI ted out for
the gold bugs, saw the error of its
ways and reformed. Now it is for
free silver and has espoused the cause
of Woman Suffrage. The other New
York papers predicted its downfall.
but its circulation has increased very
rapidly. We copy the following from
an article on "Goyernment Ownership
of Railroads.
''We make history very last in these
days. While the theorists are arguing
whether this or that thing can be or
ought to be done, one event keep step

later we learn that governors have

to join them in preserving order and

panies to protect their properties and
operate their plants.
Not less,. certainly, than 10000
men are now either under arms, or are
expecting hourly to be ordered to mil

''Thus it appears plainly enough
that while the question of the states

News from Ford County.

j. N. Le,cis, Jr., Editor OF Graphic:
DEAR SIR:-I herewith send 81 for
subscription to the GRAPHIC, which
account Eas against me March 23rd,
and 81 more to extend the same.
l am glad to know that the peoples
party of Edwards county has such "a
good exponent of right and Justice, and
doing such valiant work for the good
cause III battling for the principles of
the party.
We must have change from the
old parties to a new one; build up on
stronger and different foundation to
conform with the present time for the
needs and wants of the people. Did
we not have change from one of the
great old parties to the other great
old party and what was the result?
Just what has been predicted by the
populist members. Now do the demo-
Gratis and republicans that wanted to
make another change, flop back to the
republican party? 1 dare say no!
especially those of the west and south
who should begin to see that they are
fast going into the coils of the gold
bug money power of the east, and are
being enslaved faster than any nation
that history Can produce.
l am glad that Edwards county
is having so many thinking men who
are not afraid Of the party lash and
are coming the right road.
Ford county will try and be in the
front rank in the coming campaign.
a paper will be started the first of
July by IA live young man by the name
Of Lucas. At the meeting last Satur-
day by the county central committee
more than 100 names were pledged as
subscribers and several put theil
names down for $40 each. A good
wide-awake paper is the document we
can win upon. It is the big cannon
that can fire the argument at our
enemy, and, Mr.. Editor, you know
they can't stand up against 1.-THE
loud report of the truth will knock
them over. With only one-fifth the
amount of papers in the state of Kan
sas, and all the learned speakers and
orators OH the other side-not one
daily paper in the state-we made
them run. And why, pray? Because
we had the argument and truth on ouI
side. Right makes might. Which in
the end will win? Prejudice, slandel
and abuse can not he carried on BY
the republican party any longer and
hold them up on their feet. Prejudi-
cial argument without any knowledge
is only hurtful and injurious to them
selves.
| Twill say that with 4 populist papel
in Ford county, you will hear that We
are not far behind in getting new
recruits, and that new pops are pop
ping up in all four corners Of oil Ford
and that we are not far behind oul
sister county.
| Yours for the right,
J. E. MELLECKE.

WHEN people tell yeu the railroads
are not making money because they

corporation and trust figuring for
them. The American Sugar Refining
Company, one of the most gigantic
