increases, and speculRtions are fre-
quSntly heard, and many predictions as
10 its success or defeat, and as to which
political party will be lts friend or its Zoe.
That party will bs its friend which ON
November 6 casts the greatest majority
Of its party votsin its favor; that party
will be its foe which casts the greatest

The people Of Kansas are anxious to

other states are doubly anxious to know
what attitude Of political parties toward
an amendment is Of most advantage 10 it
In Kansas four political parties cover all
phases Of the question as Ear 90 their
platforms are concerned, ranging from
opposition, through silence and partial
Endorsement to full Endorsement.
Each doubtless followed it's honest
convictions; three Of these doing what
they claimed to bs best for the amend

Band, Beef and Bluster.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-The redeemSFs
have come and gone. Though Smith,
Burton and Morrill, footed their trumpets
no old-time republican IvotOr came back
in answer 10 the resurrection blasts.
The day was perfect, the frsO dinner
good, the crowd about onO-half that OF
the Populist rally in August. Band,
beef and bluster failed to arouSe.any en-
thusiasm; but the crowd was good.nR-
tured and possessed Of patience that
passeth understanding. ThAt.it did not
approach in numbers the figures antiCi-

the rows of vacant ssats-at least one
third Of those provided.
The band beguiled q few who had
never heard Ed Smith into the park in
the forenoon, but those who knew his
style Of oratory were not tosbe trapped,
and went about buying theirl weekly
supply Of groceries.
After dinner Morrill, appeared with
enough old-psrty blowers and strikers to
fill the small speakers stand, and an ex'
pectant crowd slowly tgathered. His
voice was 80 weak it did not reach

who were on the stand for that purpose.
His speech was defensive, mainly self
defensive. Not q living issue was
touched. There was no general applause
until he closed, snd.this seemed to DO
more q sense Of relief that the speech
was ended, than approval. Then came
one Burton, who many years ago gained
some notoriety by his dissection OF
melancholy. He was sober, but seemed
to carry more melancholy in his anat-
omy than usual. His hearers caught
the injection, and melancholy settled
over them like wet blanket. He failed
to refer to any issue later than the rO-
bellion. To elucidats republicansprin-

Angels Unaware.

II we could dream when still and sad beside us
Our loved ones sit through silent summer
ewes,
OF days when blessedness will be denied us,
And life be as a wan, weak wind that grieves,
What tender speech would give them joy Of
living,
As winds wild roses that the dews forsake,
And into what sweet paans Of thanksgiving
The harps Of solitary souls would break
If we could hear above the mounds where
roses
Lie like small wales with violets inlaid,
Above the shadows Of the Parian crosses
A little stir by seraph pinions made.
How swiftly would the olden, wine red hushes
Leap to our lips, where no red flush has been,
Since in the saddest of September bushes
We touched warm hearts that held no pulse
within
We know not till the summer time is over
And something sweet is missing from the air,
How our large lives were welded TO the clover
And to the buds that frightened evervwhe7a.
And oh, we know not till from off our bosoma
Painting, we miss flow Of fragrant hair,
How silently amid the summer blossoms
Gods angels walked beside us unawarel

No more for me yon lake rejoices,
Though moved by loving airs OF June,

Its plumes in many feathery spray;
In vain the evenings starry marches

In vain your beauty, summer flowers.
We cannot greet these cordial eyes.
They gaze on other fields than ours
On other skies.

The blade is stolen from the sheath;

And that is-death.

And therefore life and health must crave

Is in her grave.

If you want to live to good old age, do
not buy or try to drive a horse that has
ever belonged to the fire department. A
friend who comes into market three times
a week some time ago got such horse, and
the animal did well enough until one night
about o'clock as he was coming in with a
load the fire bells rung as he was passing
an engine house. The old horse pricked up
his ears and threw up his tail, and when
the engine came out he took after it at
gallop. All efforts to hold him were in
vain. He was going to the fire, and he got
there, too as soon as the engine did, though
he left some of his load on every block on
the road.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Forgiveness.

My heart was heavy, for its trust had been
Abused. its kindness answered with foul wrons
So turning gloomily from my fellow men
One summer Sabbath day strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial place,
Where, bordering how all human love and hate
Find one sad level, and how soon or late
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekenes
face
And cold hands folded over a still heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave,

part,
Awed for myself and plying my race,
Our common sorrow, like a mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and tremblingly !
