WE have been taking note of the expressions
of reformers relative to the platform promul-
gated by the national reform conference held at
Staten Island, and the Topeka Advocate voices
our idea to dot The Advocate, speaking of
the action of the conference on the liquor ques-
ton, says: "The practical politician who
places office above principle, and who always
dickers for votes from all the elements that
make up the voting population, WILL OF course,
object to the liquor plank. We are satisfied,
however, that we can never secure emancipation
from the domination of the money power until
we first emancipate ourselves from the domino,
ton of the liquor power. Any person who will
honestly and conscientiously Study the subject
must inevitably arrive at the conclusion that
the money power and the liquor power are SO
intimately related as to be absolutely insepara-
bic, and it is utterly futile to hope that the vote
of the one can ever be directed against the
other. Every monopoly, in fact, is welded to
every other, and none of them can be success
fully shorn of their power until the hosts of
the common people cut loose from them, one
and all, and unite in a solid phalanx against
them. 1t may as we'll be recognized now as
later on that the corrupt influence OF the liquor
power in politics is a force that must be met
before any substantial victory can be achieved
in any line of reform. 1t is the great enemy
of all reform. 1t has no politics but interest,
and it is in command of means for controlling
elections that no other interest possesses. This
is the secret of its power over political parties
and candidates for Office. We have presented
this subject to our readers many times before,
and in so doing we have endeavored to elimi-
nate from it everything that is calculated to ex-
cite individual prejudice. The question in
wolves far more than the individual liberty
which is SO much talked about. The right of
the individual to procure and use liquor is not
the great question involved. Even those who
use liquor, if they honestly study the corrupt
power of the saloon in politics, must see that
every interest of society demands that that
power shall be suppressed. 1t cannot be sup
pressed while the business remains in private
hands and yields the private gain that it does
to-day. The element of private profit must be
eliminated from the traffic. This alone will
eliminate the greatest evils connected with it,
and its subsequent regulation can then be more
readily effected"

WHO is THE THIEF?

Even a tack, when it points heavenward,
means mischief. Bad men are like tacks.
The single gold-standard men are too good
to be honest There is too much prating about
stsound money!" and too 1old an appeal to
pensioners and wage-earners.
The gold crowd is too much like the Pharisee
on the street corner who thanked God he was
not as other men, or even as the poor publican,
whose PRAYER was all in one sentence: "God De
merciful to me, sinner" The Pharisee de-
voured widows houses and covered up his
crimes with long prayers on the street corner;
but Jesus read his character and exposed to
public view his evil heart. The character of
the gold conspirators is being read by American
freemen, and their crimes are being laid bare
The cry of "sound money" is made to cover
dear money and an lnending bonded debt. The
cry of "dishonest money" is made to cover
robbery
The dear people and the old soldier were not
appealed to when this same gold crowd discred
tied the greenback and advanced gold to pre-
MUM The dear soldier fighting his country's
battles was given his 3S-cent dollar, and not a
word about "dishonest money" Nothing dis
honest in paying soldiers in deprecated rag
money and the bondholders i'll gold-yellow
gold! -glittering gold! In those days, any
kind of money was good enough for the dear
people" and the heroes of a thousand battle
fields.
II is all different now The thief is beiHg
run down, and he cries "Stop thief!'' in his
loudest voice.
Watch the gold crowd. Dig up their past
career, and find under fine pretense robbed SOL
diers, robbed taxpayers robbery of the pres
ent generation and robbery of generations to
come.

JUDGE JOHNSON INDIGNANT.


We clip the following from the Topeka State
j ,irnal of the 10Th:
Judge A. S. johnson, of the eastern district
OF the southern division of the appellate court,
who lives at Garrett, has written letter to w.
H. Hornaday, here, which expresses some very
strong opinions on the way western Republic
ANS have been bamboozled by the gold power.
The letter is as follows:
Capt. w. H. Hornaday, Topeka, Kas.
SIR: write to thank you personally for the
very able address issued by your committee to
the Republican voters of the state, but regret
exceedingly that it has thus far received no
wider circulation. In fact, it occurs to me that
press. 1 hope you may be able to have
them printed in pamphlet form for general dis
tribution.
Why is it, l would like to ask, that SO many
men whom we have trusted and looked upon
for leadership at present seem to be i'll league
with the powers of darkness on this question,
affecting as it does not only our present condi-
ton, but that of DIR posterityl l have in mind
certain congressman, who was compelled,
while making his canvass last fall, to declare i'll
favor of free coinage whom understand made
a gold-bug speech at soldiers reunion. So
it is, you see, the old soldiers, many of whom
are aged and have not the time or ability to
study financial questions, are to be hoodooed
On account of their fidelity and patriotism to
the grand old party, and that, too, by one
whom they have trusted. l am an old soldier,
myself, but have always observed that when
the John Sherman crowd wish to steal another
march on Our constitutional rights they begin
to suggest more liberal pensions, and beat their
breasts while they talk of the patriotism of old
soldiers. In fact, they have worked us for a
lot of gullible asses. and don't know as they
have missed it very much, either.
Newspapers are worked, congressman are
worked, and they in turn are expected to work
us. What are we coming to- Was the patri-
otism of '76 and 81 real, or imaginary?

contains nearly all of the planks of the OMAHA
platform. with some important additions 1t is

A FEW Of our Populist exchanges seem to be
displeased because the state board of charities
re-appointed A. A. Stewart superintendent of
the deaf-and-dumb institute at Olatlie. The
objection is without reason. AS for the AGI-
TAToR, we are glad Mr.. Stewart got the place
again. He has proved himself efficient and
trustworty--just the man for the place. He
was ready and willing to step down and out
and make room for Republican, but parents
who had children in the school, regardless of
politics, petitioned for his retention, and the
board very wisely acceded to their desires. 1t
is unjust to the children to change superintend-
ents and teachers with every change in the
state administration: Again we say, we are
glad Mr.. Stewart has been retained, and that a
majority of the teachers will also remain. Poll
tics should not interfere with or stats ednca-
tiona institutions

A Great Convenience for Amateur Long
Distance Photographers.

Both amateurs and professionals
know that taking photographs out OF
doors is quite a different matter from
working in studio, where the subject
can be suitably posed and lighted, and
the camera can be put just at the right
distance from and at the most satisfao-
tory angle with il. Engineers, tourists
and other people, when trying to get
pictures of castles, churches, bridges,
vessels, landscapes and other things,
are sometimes confronted with this
difficulty. In order to place their in.
strument in a sufficiently elevated posi-
ton to obtain the precise view they
want, they must be too far away
Architectural decorations, inscriptions
on monuments, curious pieces OF con-
struction, odd markings in a mountain
side, delicate waterfall and similar
details are utterly lost on the sensitive
plate under such circumstances. They
come out too small TO be visible. Hence,
few years ago the English lens maker
Dallmeyer and some other foreigners
attempted such modification of the
ordinary camera as would adapt IL to
long-distance work. This object was
generally secured by placing an addi-
tional lens, which was concave, behind
the regular one; and sometimes sup
Elementary tube several inches long
was employed in arranging the appar-
atus satisfactorily. The general sys-
tenn was called 'tele-photography."
But while this idea has proven practic-
able, the means for carrying 1t out
have thus far been so expensive as to
place it beyond the reach of the major

"YANKEE DOODLE"
NOW the Song Originated and the Bravery
of fha Macnronis

NOW the Song Originated and the bravery
of the Macaronis.
From the time Yankee boy dons
his first pair of trousers and can shove
his hands into his pockets he begins to
whistle Yankee Doodle" He whistles
1t when he goes to school, and later in
his college days the old tune is called
upon as an outlet for the exuberance
which naturally follows some college
victory. The merry strains may DO
used to express his feelings when he
has been accepted by his best girl, and
again he teaches it to his boys as his
father taught it to him.
Yet it is no exaggeration to say that
not one out of u hundred Yankee boys
can tell where the song originated,
and should he even apply to his father
for the information on the subject it is
safe to say that ne would be dismissed
with the evasive and general state
ment tibet it was written during the
revolution. In the general sense the
statement is correct, but again the av-
erage Yankee boy is not satisfied with
only q general idea. So let the boy
read this and learn whence came the
song which is regarded as the national
anthem of Yankeeland all over the
world.
just before the battle of Long Island
Gen. George Washington applied to the
continental congress for more troops,
and among those sent him was Col.
Smallwood's brigade of Maryland in
fantry. They were only two hundred
strong, but what they lacked in NUM-
bers they made up in courage. Added
to their reputation for bravery, they
were conspicuous by reason of their
particularly bright uniforms, which
were copied after those of regiment
of the private gtard of the king of
italy. Red, gold, green and blue were
SO intermingled that other soldiers in
palmer dress dubbed them the "Maca-
ronis." Then wag of the Long Island
camp took the music of German
drinking song and wrote the doggerel:
Yankee Doodle came to town riding on pony,
He stuck feather in his cap and called him
Macaroni
The Macaroni referred to must have
been one of Col Smallwood's brigade,
which later took part in the campaign
which ended in the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown, Va, and fought
with such daring bravery that, when
the articles of peace were signed be-
tween this country and England and
they went to their homes in and around
Baltimore, only fifteen Macaronis re-
manned out of the brigade of two hum
bred.
And while very few If any histories
of the United States record the brave
deed of the Macaronis they will forever
be immortalized in the song which was
written as a jest at their expense, and
which is now whistled and sung from
Maine to California and from Hong
Kong to London. Indianapolis Senti-

The Sneed of Electricity.

The speed of electricity under the
most favorable conditions is now es-
tablished to be one hundred and eighty
thousand miles second. What this
enormous speed implies is somewhat
dimly suggested by an illustration re-
Gently used by the eminent scientist
Sir Robert Bell. Suppose that row
of telegraph poles twenty-five thou
sand miles long were erected around
the earth at the equator. Suppose
that wire were stretched upon these
posts for this circuit of twenty-five
thousand miles, and that then another
complete circuit was taken by the
same wire around the same posts, and
then another and yet another. In fact
let the wire be wound NJ fewer than
seven times completely about this
great globe. We should then find that
an electric signal sent into the wire at
one end would accomplish the circuit
in one second of time. st Louis Globe.

They Arc Said to Travel About Twenty
Four Feet . Second.
DR.. G. Schott, as the result of study.
ing the form and height Of the waves
of the sea, claims that under a mod
crate breeze their velocity was $40 feet
per second, or 1913 miles an hour, which
is about the speed of a modern sailing
vessel.
AS the wind rises the size and speed
of the waves increase. In strong
breeze their length rises TO EGO feet and
their speed reaches 800 or 364 feet per
second Waves the period of which is
nine seconds, the length 400 or 425 feet
and the speed % nautical miles per
hour are produced only in storms.
During southeast storm in the south
ern Atlantic DR. Schott measured waves
600 feet long; and this was not maxi
mum, for in latitude 90 degrees south
and longitude 80 degrees east he OBJ
served waves of fifteen seconds period,
which were 1850 feet long, with ve-
locity of 1871 feet per second, or 40 1-S
nautical miles an hour.
Dr. Schott does not think that the
maximum height of the waves is very
great. Some observers have estimated
it at 80 or 40 feet in wind of the force
represented by eleven on the Beaufort
scale (the highest number of which is
twelve); and DIR. Schott's maximum is
just SO feet. He believes that in great
tempests waves of more than 90 feet
are rare and that even those of so feet
are exceptional. In the ordinary trade
winds the height is 5 or 8 feet. The
ratio of height TO length is about 1.3s
in moderate wind, lis in a strong
wind and LII in a storm, from which
it follows that the inclination of the
waves is respectively about 8, 10, II
degrees, The ratio of the height of
the waves to the force Of the wind
varies greatly.

Experts in the management of in
fants say that half of the children arc
handicapped for life by the unfortunate
and uncomfortable conditions of the
first three months of their lives. No
sooner are they ushered into this vale
of tears than they are handled and ex-
hibited and exposed, carried around in
temperatures suited to full-blooded,
stalwart adults. Their nerves are de-
stroyed by being continually reused
from their normal quiet condition,
their eyes are strained by being held
up to the light to be examined by adj
miring relatives and visitors, and their
bones are hopelessly warped by injudi-
cious dressing, and too much upright
position before they are able to bear

significant factor in their future well

temperature of blood-heat should be
maintained without variation. This
same authority declares that If child

temperature and unhampered by the
denominations that are called baby
clothes, was allowed to sleep when
ever it would, and permitted to grow
