Discharging a watery fluid, and the burning and itching would drive her nearly wild. Unless we incased her little hands she would tear patches of skin from her face and hands. We tried many doctors and many reme- dies and at last gave the case up as hopeless. But our daughter Cora tried Hoods Sarsaparilla, to cure a scrofulous lump near the left breast which caused her much pain and at- ter taking bottles 1t disappeared. Blanche, who is now eleven, had spent seven years of suffering, so l con cluded to give her Hoods Sarsapa rilla. She took bottles and her face is smooth and soft as baby's, the color of a rose petal. Her hands are soft and white, where four months ago they were blue and red and cal louscd nearly like leather. l cannot express my gratitude by pen or mouth.

Cured prior to his Inauguration; the ex-
penditure Of large sums OF money In a
partisan effort to remove populist officers
without cause to make places for polit-
ical henchmen: the lowering Of railroad
assessments and the consequent increase
on real estate; the increase Of the state
tax levy from SO mills under the populist
administration to AS mills under the
present one; the retention of an insur-
ance commissioner who is engaged inean
effort to break down the great fraternal
orders of the state; the appointment and
continuation of boards which had been
abolished by the legislatures the expendit-
ure of large sums of money In useless
encampment of the militia which expend-
iture was wholly contrary to law; the
manner of the enforcement OF the prohib-
itory law in which certain towns are closed
up while in others saloons run wide open
without molestation and we demand that
the law be enforced in all places in ac-
cordance with the campaign promises of
the administration and the letter and
spirit of the law; the hypocritical treat
ment of the old soldier by the administra-
tion and the failure to recognize him in the
matter of appointments and the utter and
absolute failure Of the republican house
Of the last legislature to enact laws for
the relief Of the burdened taxpayer.

Mrs. Diggs VIII Speak.

Arrangements can be made through
this office for a few appointments for
Mrs. Diggs. Owing to the limited time
at her disposal just now, the places
for which meetings are arranged must
necessarily be not far apart, in order to
economic time and expenses. One or
two adjoining counties may be accomo-
dated with a few dates. Apply to us
Immediately for terms. From the mul-
titude of inquiries received respecting
the Colorado colony there is a deep
interest among the people upon this
subject. Besides making good speech
Mrs. Diggs will be glad to answer all
inquiries and give all desired informa-
ton to those interested in the colony
after each of her meetings.

OLD-PARTY MONEY PLANK.
A Clear Explanation of the Meaning Of the
Ordinary Old-Party Finance Plank.

A good many people have attempted
an explanation of the meaning of the
financial planks in the republican and
democratic national platforms of 1892
Most people who undertook that job
utterly failed to convince any one that
the planks meant anything at all and
it was, as a rule, doubtful where the
defenders of that platform had any very
clear conception Of what 1t actually
meant. 1t has remained for a man
a way out in Washington to give the
first translation that could be thorough
ly understood at a glance 1t is as
follows:
Silver Plank-Every whichness of the
whyness, should be equal to, and inter-
changeable with every platform of the
whatness; therefore we demand that every
American whereforeness of the whlchness
shall be equal In value to every whence
ness of the whichsoeverness of the whole
civilized world.
1t is stated that of course this plank
varies in Interpretation somewhat ac-
cording to the degrees of latitude and
longitude and the real or fancied re-
lations Of the Individual to the money
power.

DAWES FOOL OPINIONS.
Not Only Foolish and Tmbeclle but They
Are Intensely Partisan.

A great deal has previously BEEN said
through these columns In regard to the
various different kinds OF a spectacle
the present incumbent Of the office Of
Attorney General Is making of himself.
That gentleman deserved all that has
been said in regard to his lack of legal
ability and utter incapacity to I'LL the
Office he holds. OF course the fact that
che business of the office Is not properly
attended to Is not so much his fault
as 1t Is the fault of the people placing
a man with such limited qualifications
in such a position. 1t now seems that
added to his incapactty, inability and
lack of sense he Is imbued with such a
partisan spirit, that the mixture must
be made worse by the introduction OF
politics into his alleged decisions The
following from the Troy Chief (rep),
indicates the manner In which this legal
light attends to the legal business of
the state:
''The Attorney General Is in the habit
of indulging in this shystering was OF
avoiding a straight opinion, but per-
mitting illegal acts to be enforced, In
order to curry favor, The members of
one of the state boards applied to him
for an opinion upon certain laws that
brought them into cOnflict with other
boards. and that was causing them
much doubt and perplexity. After wait
ing for two months, he decided the
matter, in substance, as follows: Well,
it is a pretty good republican board,
and you might as well let them go ahead
and do the work Is that what an At
torney General Is elected for?"

PETER at Chattanooga.

Senator Peffer went to Chattanooga
on Sunday. He will attend the dedica-
ton of the. National Park which Is
being laid out on the battlefield Of
Chickamauga which is little over ten
miles from that city. This battlefield
has been purchased by the government
and the ceremonies viii be under the
direction of the War department. The
Senator Is member of a committee Of
five appointed from the United States
Senate to officially represent that body.
1t Is certainly a decided honor and
compliment to the veterans Of Kan
sas that one Of their number should be
given so conspicuous a place in the
arrangements for the dedication.

ADMINISTRATION ROBBERY.
The SANITY Gang Steals Cents Per Pound
on the Beef Used by the Militia
at EmDOria.

at EmpOrla.
The regulation redeemer methods seem
10 have been practised at the encamp-
ment of the militia at Emporia. 1t is
perhaps possible that this transaction
will give to the public some idea why
a position in the commissary depart
ment Of the army Is in direct line of
promotion to a bank presidency. OF
course the soldiers had to eat. They
had to have meat. "A. G. Randolph of
Emporia offered to furnish the neces-
sary beef for cents per pound in the
carcass or 514 cents cut. Messrs. j. A.
Rousher, Peter Hines, John Wind, d.
s. Avery, James Spangler, Ed Atyeo
c. W. Grumley, Charles Grohe and Soni-
decker & Stanton offered to furnish it
cut at cents per pound and in addi-
tion to subscribe $40 toward paying the
local expense of the encampment. The
mayor of Emporia, who Is a redeemer,
Of course, managed, 1t is reported, to
get the contract let to his brother-in-law
at 10 cents per pound. 1t is hardly
necessary to- state that if these gentle-
men above named could afford to supply
the beef for 5 or for cents that the man
who got 1t for 10 cents got a good thing
and that he could afford to make it an
object of profit to some one to see to it
that he was fortunate enough to get the
contract. It is hard on the state of
Kansas but it is very nice for the mayor
and his brother-in-law. The people who
have labored under the delusion that
the present administration is business
one are now fully satisfied that they
looked for something that has not yet
been exhibited to the people Of the state
That encampment entailed an expense
that was paid wholly without authori-
ty of law and the people were led to
believe that reasonable economy would
be used in fncurring Indebtedness but
they were doomed to disappointment.
Not only was the encampment expense
illigftimate but the bills paid were
extravagant and exorbitant. The Gov
erTior of Kansas who promised the bur-
dened Taxpayers of this state a careful
and economical administration of pub
lie affairs should investigate this matter
and see to 1t that the interests of the
state are properly taken care of. If
ne does not do so the people will believe
that ne was cognizant of the fraud per-
petrated and that such action on the
part Of his subordinates is in line with
his IDEAS Of an honest efficient admin
igtration.
