SENATOR MARTIN viii introduce a
resolution instructing the judiciary
committee to formulate and report to
the senate such resolutions as may be
proper. proposing to the several states
of the Union such amendments TO the
constitution as shall provide for the
election of the president, vice president
and United States senators by direct
vote of the people. He will further
seek to have embodied provisions fixing
the presidential term at six years and
making the president ineligible for re-
election. Within the last few years
several of the democratic state conven-
tons have adopted similar resolutions
and it is known that many of the sena-
tors and representatives favor some
such action. The preamble of his rss-
oiution will recite that the peace, per-
mauence and stability of a republican
form of government demands that all
federal officers shall be elected by a di-
rect vote of the constituency TREY rep

ONLY short time ago, while in a
store, we saw a man and his wife from
the country trading. The woman had
the appearance of being hard working,
industrious and intelligent. She was
examining piece of calico, the clerk
said: "Shall 1 cut you off ten yards?''
The pale faced, over worked woman
turned to hsr husband and in timid
frightened manner asked if she might
buy dress as she needed it and the
cost would be less than dollar. No, !
he grunted, Il can't afford it," And
yet he had just paid for a big plug of
navy. The poor, i'll clad, but neat
woman subsidized as though this was no
new experience, while he. rough.
coarse and animal husband, bit off q
muuthful of the weed and ordered her
to get ready for home. Arkansas Val

was impossible to borrow dollar in

that capitalists are alive to the fact
that Kansas lands are as good as gov

Rambo's Head is Level.

The Democrat observes that move
ment has been started TO begin the
democratic stalwart campaign This
it occurs to US little premature. We
think it best to wait and give Col.
jones and his committee chance to
show their hand and intention. We
want an early convention hut we don't
want any factions in the party if posi-
bic to avoid it. Ii MIR Jones calls &
convention and that convention does
is work properly there Will be nothing
for the stalwarts to do but to fall into
line and help elect that ticket. Boys
wait just little longer-Chetopa Dem.
ocrat.
Bro. Rambo, editor of the Chetopa
Democrat, talks good sound sense in
the above. There is but one demo.
cratic state central committee with slu-
thority from the people, and that com
mittee, with such an able and entHH
siastic democrat as Col. w. C. Jones
at its head, will make no mistake in
acting for the best interests of the
party. So let the committee meet and
whether it calls an early or late con-
ventiOn let the boys fall in line with
determination, if all should not be
pleased, to abide by the decision of
the convention and all work in har
mony to elect democrats and defeat
the republican party.-Abileue News.

HIS CANDIDACY UNPOPULAR.

The Republicans of the North do not
accept the nominotion OF Colonel Hoge
for Congress in this district with en-
thusiasm. The press condemn his can
didacy and assert that the Congressional
committee will do wrong II they con-
tribute dollar to the success of Colonel
Hoge. Says the Philadelphia Press OF
Sunday:
The Rcpu blicans of..the Sixth ConGressions,
district OF Virginia have nominated Mr.. j. Hamp
ton Hogc as their candidate for Congress, but II
they expect to get any sympathy or; countcnance
from the Republican party elsewhere they will
find themselves mistaken. Mr.. uoge lie the per
son whom the President named for United States
consul at Annoy, China, and who disgraccd him
self SO conepicuously while en- route to hie post.
He was recalled before he had left San Francisco
and his appointment cancelled.
1t was one OF the few sctsIof the Cleveland ad :.
ministration which received the unanimous ap-
proyal OF the respectable people of the whole
country. But 1t gave Mr. Hogc grievance and
to revenge himself he threw himself into the
arms OF the Republicans in ibis district. They
have now come down to his level by making him
their standard bearer, but the Republican party
at large will refuse to have anything to do with
Mr.. Hoge, his grievance or his canvass.

IIintioO Grades.

The four grades of society among the
Hindoos arc the Brahmans, or saccrtlotal
class, who are said at the moment of
creation to have issued from tho mouth
of Brahma; the Kshatrya, or Chuttscc,
or military class, sprung from the arm
of Brahma; the Vaisya, or Bats, or
mercantile class, from the thigh of
Brahma, and Sudras, or Soodcrs, or scrv-
lie class, from the foot of Brahma.
Tho business of the Sudras is to serve
the three superior classes, more cspc
ciaily the Brahmans. Their condition is
never to be improved; they are not to
accumulate property and arc unable by
any means to approach the dignity of
inc higher classes. These divisions are
hereditary, impossible and indcfcasiblc

A group of millionaires were PLAYING
what was probably the stiffest gamo of
poker ever played in the United States.
1t was at Chamberlin's in Washing

The exact list of the players will never
be known, but Senator Wolcott of Col
orado and Ex-Governor Hauser of Mon
tana were i'll it, and Senator Farwell of
Chicago was III the ROOM
About midnight a swell drummer for
a Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card
to Senator Farwcll. The senator went
down to sec him and brought him up to
the room where the game was going Oh
He introduced him to the other players.
Have you any objection to my play

Ex-Governor Hauser remarked that

crowd had no objection With n wink
at Senator Farwcll, the drummer sat
