ed to these two places, satisfies us
that the people of the North and
West are still raising at profit,
these prime necessities of life,
when they could be raised cheaper
at home. Still, in casting about
for the causes of the prevailing ag-
ricultural depression, low price OF
cotton, wheat etc, the political
demagogue attributes it to the
alleged decentralization OF silver, the
most abominable crime of the 10th
OF any other century, instead Of to
the real causes, the oyerproduction
of these agricultural products and
the improvidence OF the farmers il
attempting to produce five cenl
cotton with which to purchase
articles Of consumption, which
could be raised cheaper on the
plantation and the actually neces
sary amount Of cotton at the same
time.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. J. Gun

permitted to make this extract: II have
no hesitation in recommending Or. Kings
New Discovery, as the results were al
most marvellous in the case of my wife.
While was pastor Of the Baptist Church

with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms Of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive them.

HenninA

The hennins or headdresses worn
by ladies of the fifteenth century
were in shape of horns and SO long
that woman g face appeared to be in
the center of her figure. The clergy
condemned them and threatened the
wearers with perdition, but for all
that they were worn higher than
ever. At last a strolling friar or
evangelist at Paris promised absolu-
ton to all who would destroy tho
hennins, and the mob went to work
and wrecked the headdresses when
ever they appeared in public. The
hennins we're trampled .underfoot
and their wearers insulted all over
Paris. Scores of lives were lost in
the efforts Of the cavaliers to defend
the hennins from the rabble but in
vain, and the enormous headdresses
disappeared, some other feminine
absurdity taking their place.

new trial. Although the evidence
against him was as convincing and
conclusive as it is possible to Sc.
cure in such cases, four of the jury
declare upon their oaths, that he

they were actaated, it is not for us
to say. Whether corruptly or

KANSAS CITY ON WICHITA.

True to its Sni Hill instincts the
Kansas City Times criticizes the action
of the county attorney of Sedgwick
for causing the arrest Of the Wichita
police commissioners who Were guilty
of violating law. 1t wasn't the viO-
lation of law in Wichita which worries
our old mossback contemporary so much
as the fact that anybody should be
punished for kicking an old Union
soldier out of office. Twin shades OF
the James tribe, that such a thing
should be- The Times says that it
would be remarkable state Of affairs
if these commissioners should be found
guilty and punished for doing thing
which they had right to do. The
Times fOrgets two things in giving ex-
preston to its remarkable" astOnish-
ment. One thing is, these commits
sioners are paid Il salary to see that
the law is enforced; they were chosen
for that specific purpose in pursuance
of law which is disgrace to the
Nineteenth century, and they do moth
ing else. The other thing is. they
will be tried by a Wichita jury, made
up of citizens who have heard and felt
nothing but "the enforcement of law"
until their patience is exhausted. What
is sauce for the goose should be sauce
for the gander. The difference be-
tween Wichita and Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, is, Wichita honors and respects
the old soldier. These commissioners
whose attention was duly and timely
called to the provision Of the statute,
metaphorically spit upon the law and
defied the old soldier to his worst.
For paper of such sentiments, the
Times is published in the right locality.
The desire Of it's home constituency
that Wichita shall be made as dry as
Ottawa, so dry in trade and traffic and
in every other way that Kansas City
jObbers and packers may never hear of
Wichita again, is we'll night a con-
Stunning desire, and the Times in hop
ing for the triumph Of the prOhibitory
police commissioners but voices the /
unanimous wish Of Kansas City.

LITTLE DAWES: BIG INFINITY.

In introducing this subject Of in
finity. it should be stated that certain
non-theoretical conditions assert them
selves in Wichita. 1t is useless to
argue or explain those conditions. The
men and women and children Of this
city understand them.
Some of the people-the great major
ity OF the people Of this town are
angered at a voice. That voice men
aces. 1t understands not conditions.
but it comes adown a northern breeze
and threatens with confiscatiOn and
humiliation the people and the prop
erty subject to those non theoretical
conditions.
1t is wrong for man to let anger in
cubate under his collar. Philosophy
and Nature are too kind and philan-
thropic TO license anger at any time.
For Nature uses the antidOte of In
finity on the poison of temporal wrong.
