II is wonderful how much sunshine and

sell themselves short of hay and housewives
deprive themselves of coal stoves before the

bourbon democracy or whlskey. Then they

The Durand Express, which by the way,

brass foundry, which went down i'm the hur-
rcane of Saturday last. For the land sake,
what could il say about the mattar that
wouldn't be harassing and graveling to Ban

The supreme court of New Jersey says
the republican senate is the legal body In
that state. The democrat minority has been
defeated at every point and will now have
to fall into line after nearly all the import
ant measures have been passed.
BY unanimous decision the supreme
court on Tuesday sustained the action OF
Gov. Rich in removing Messrs. Jochim,
Hambitzer and Berry from their offices.
The decision, lengthy one, written by
Judge Hooker, is very strong and concise,
unfolding the Governor in every way. Thus
the matter ends as nearly eyeryonelsup-
posed it would. Gov. Rich is upheld by the
highest legal tribunal Of the state and by
the people. The deposed officials at once
gave up possession of their Offices and the
following gentlemen were named as their
successors: Secretary of State, Washington
Gardner of Albion; Treasurer. j. M. Will
kinson, of Marquette; Land Commissioner,
w. A. French, OF Pressure Isle. These
gentlemen are all well worthy of the honor
bestowed upon them and Gov. Rich is to be
congratulated upon his appointments.

Kansas FARMING Pays

Capital.
f. G. Sitter, Of Axtell, sold $500
bushels of apples to a Lincoln, Neb.,
firm, They were principally Ben Davis,
Winesap, Jonathan and Missouri Pip
pin He says he don't want to sell his
farm for $4,000: saws he can get bet
ter per cent out of the farm than he
conld from the cash.-Seneca News.
There are plenty Of farmers in Kansas
who believe with Mr. Sitter that there is
more per cent of profit III the farm lands
than in the ready cash. The paper from
which we quote the above item is a
populist organ and has repeatedly de-
nounced the republican party because it
mas made the farmer poorer and the
bankers richer. but it's local news item
knocks it's political contention into a
cooked hat for it recites the case of a
farmer who shows that his investment
in Kansas farm pays better per cent
than the cash in the bank The farmers
showed the News by their ballots that
they are heartily sick Of the cry of ca
lamity and ruin.

A FEW days ago the New York World
contained what purported to be an in
terview with Senator Sherman, in which
the Ohio senator was quoted as saying
that the recent election results could
not properly be regarded as an indorse-
ment of the Mckinley law or the Nc
Kinley idea of protection. 1t is not at
all surprising to learn that MI. Sher-
man repudiates the interview, or that
ne declares the Mckinley law to be the
best embodiment of the protective prin-
ciple ever framed, and that the election,
if it means anything, means that the
American people are heartily in favor of
protection. Mr.. Sherman, in Justice to
himself, could not permit such a mis-
representation to go uncontradicted,
and republicans everywhere will be
gratifed that he has taken the trouble
to set himself right.

For MODERN cooking.

AS matter of useful information it
may be stated that whenever a cooking
receipt calls for baking powder the
ROYAL should be used. The receipt
will be found to work better and surer,
and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes.
iumplings, crusts. buildings, crullers or
whatever made, will be produced sweet
ar, lighter. finer favored, more dainty,
palatable and wholesome. Besides the
Royal will go further or has greater
Ieayening power, and is therefore more
economical than any other powder.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream-of- tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern cook
ing and expert cooks do not sanction
this old way. In all such receipts the
Royal Baking Powder should be substi-
tuted without fail.
The greatest adopts in the culinary
art are particular to use the Royal only,
and the authors of the most popular
cook books and the teachers of the sue
cessful cooking schools, with whom the
best results are imperative, are careful
to impress their readers and pupils with
the Importance of its exclusive employ
ment.
The Royal Baking Powder is the
greatest help of modern times to perfect
cooking, and every receipt requiring a
quick-raising ingredient should en-
BODY it

They Were Not Fooled.

St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The American workingman simply de-
clared his political independence. He
said nothing to these officious gentle
men who are trying to ruin him, but
inwardly he advised them TO attend to
their own business. A few hundred la
borers here and there, few men who
were more ignorant than the rest, few
who took their cue from the leaders and
hoped to become demagogues in their
turn and find it profitable speculation,
threw up their hats and shouted for the
peoples party as the hope of the work
ingman. The rest of them went in their
usual quiet way to the polls and voted
according to their intelligence and their
conscience. They saw what free trade
and cheap money theories had done for
the country and for them. They under
stood the first duty of the citizen to
be to choose the best men and the best
policies in government. And they re
pudiated utterly the idea that a mans
politics are to be determined or at all
governed by his occupation or relation
to labor organizations. They are not
to be fooled

Changes i'm Congress.

OF the $50 members of congress the
democrats at present have 218, the re-
pnbl1cans 126 and the populists II. The
congress elected this year will have 101
democrats, 7 populists and 248 repub
licans.
The best result OF the elections to
congress is the reduction in the rep
resentation by populists. In the 53rd
congress the pops have five members
from Kansas, two from Nebraska, two
from Colorado, one from California, one
from Minnesota and one from Nevada.
In place of II from northern states and
none from the south in the present con-
gress, the pops will, therefore, have
in the next house four from the south
and but three from the north. OF the
twelve pop representatives in the pres
ent congress but three have been re-
elected and these three the least noisy
and the most harmless and inoffensive
of the entire calamity delegation.
The populist demagogues will not be
heard in the 54th congress. They will
be placed by Speaker Reed where they
belong at the rear end of the most in
significant committees of the house.
Their constituents will be practically
without representation. The average
pop congressman's idea of his duties
as a representative of the people is to
draw up fool bills and make NONSENSE
cal speeches. AS to the real work OF
legislation on the committees and in the
departments he has no conception or
taste. The delegation of seven will rat
tie around in their seats uncomfortably
for two years and then they will retire
from pulic life unhonored and unsnng.
The country is well rid of them

A wellknown physician recently
told the following story to an In
dianapolis reporter: "a prominent
Marion County farmer discovered that
he was gradually getting deaf He
couldn't hear the hired man blast
stumps with giant powder. He came
to my Office and made signs that he
wanted his ears examineJ. / exam
ined them and in an instant almost
found that his directive hearing was
caused by the gathering of waXy
substance in his ears. When / re-
moved this obstruction of the hear
ing / was surprised at the result. The
cid gentleman jumped from the chair
where he had been seated and put
both hands to his ears He couldn't
stand the noise from the street, and
the least sound startled him. He
was one of the most pleased men
ever saw. He went away and it was
several weeks before l saw him again.
He called at my office with his wife
and she did all the talking. She
hardly raised her voice above a whis-
per- and every now and then she
looked at her husband in timid way.
She SAID that for several days he
would not allow the least bit Of noise
in the house. and that he butchered
some pigs before their time on ac-
count of being affected by their
sQueal. His daughter and her hus-
band had lived with them for two
years, d they had to leave on &C
count OF the crying of their c-months-
old baby. There were two clocks in
the house, one in the Tdining-room
and one in the bedroom. These he
stopped on account of their ticking.
The clock in the bed room was an
alarm clock. 1t went off one night.
He jumped from bed and nearly
broke his neck by falling head first
on the floor The woman said that
she had to keep the house as quiet as
a graveyard for more than two weeks,
as it was that long before her hus-
band became accustomed to hearing.
His daughter however, has gone
back to the farm with her baby, and
the clocks have been started again"

Safe IN Republican Hands.

,Irs L. j. Smith, of Mcpherson, who
made many speeches in the late cam
paign said:
"The women who had charge of the
suffrage campaign are more to blame
for its defeat than any one else,, their
work was on the wrong line. Instead
of working to have it in the populist plat
form they should have said No friends,
we want to run non parrish campaign
/ did not speak for the amendment after
there were SO many political blunders
made. | knew it would certainly be de-
feated | am satisfied that as long as
the republican party is in power the
women will have no cause to complain.
The republican party is the only party
that has ever gwen women any politi-
cal and industrial liberty"

stairs IN samoa.

In Samoa where he makes his
home, Robert Louis Stevenson has
done much in the way of insMucting
the na tives in European methods OF
work He tells an amusing story in
this connection. A new house boy
had been engaged, and on his arrival
was lost in awe and adm ration OF
the magniticence of the mansion.
He was given large bucket OF
water and told to take it to the bed
room up above. He looked up, and,
pointing, asked if it was there? On
being answered in the Affirmative, he
sci ed the bucket in his teeth, ana
before any one could remonst ate he
had rushed up oneIof the posts of the
veRanda. The whole family rushed
up the staircase, and when they
showed him that that Was the usual
mode of getting III these rooms, he
was overpowered with delight and
for two or three days could do abso-
lutely nothing but race up and down
stairs, chuckling and Growing in an
ecstacy of JOY. And when detach-
ments Of his friends came to visit him
they were all taken to see the stairs

Kansas Credit Redeemed.

Among the first fruits of the redemp-
ton of Kansas from the control Of the
populist wreckers is the restoration Of
the credit of the state abroad. The rep
resentatlves of a large financial institu-
tion of the east have received instruc-
tons that hereafter they are to purchase
the bonds of any city in the state. Since
the populists came into power with
their threats of confscation against in
vested capital it has ~been the rule of
this institution, as we'll as others doing
business in the state, to buy only the
bonds of cities of the first class
The verdict of the people at the polls
in favor of honest government and hon
est dealings has already restored the
state to the confidence of investors OF
this fact there are other evidences be-
sides that here noted. The reign of ca
lamity has had it's day in the Sunfower
state. The people have repudiated the
horde of adventures and calamity
breeders. Their better Judgment has
triumphed over the unworthy passions
aroused by the conspirators against the
prosperity of the state
The Kansas bond and the Kansas
mortgage viii no longer be held in con
tempt and fear. The republicans Sc
lected as their candidate for governor
man whose name alone should repre-
sent the future policy of the state as to
the sufficiencv of a Kansas promise to
pay The policy of honorable dealings
was made leading issue before The
people The verdict was not hap-haz-
ard finding, but judgment arrived at
after bitter experience and deliberate
consideration. And it will stand the
test of years, for the lesson learned will
not be forgotten by the present gener-
alton. Kansas will now go forward
again
