The Kansas Editor.

Kansas journalism IS the most vigOr-
Gus article of its kind in the world.
The Kansas editor is no coward; he is
no sycophant; he is no flatterer. In his
heart he is for some man, or for some
principle, or for some measure; in his
editorials and speech he devotes nearly
all his space and time against one
thing or the other. His voice is trained
only to criticise. He applauds by sill
ence. Be he republican, democrat,
populist, prohibitionist, or whatnot, he
is certain OF his position. He is never
dubious, never hesitant, never passive.
He does not know the meaning of the
word conciliatOry. and parentically. 1t
may be remarked, he knows less the
meaning of surrender. When he
strikes, the blow is always from the
shoulder, when he lands the blow is
always felt; no matter what damage
he may receive at the same time from
the other fellow, who always fights as
hard as he does. He thinks quickly
aud acts more quickly, and, whatever
the consequences may be, he hasn'
time for repentance. He never believes
he knows. He never follows-ht
leads. He never requests-he demands
He never defends-he attacks. HI
never proposes-he does. He knows
no halfway places: in politics he is ;
partizan, and he is proud of it; in relig
ion he is puritan or an infidel. and b.

laughed to scorn his meek demand

THE FREE SILVER DEMOCRACY.


1t is not often that republican
newspaper gives wholesome advice to
the opposition party, says the Topeka
Press, but the Globe Democrat has
broken the rule and the free silver DEM
ocracy will eagerly adopt its advice
contained in the following editorial:
''The free silver men in the democrat
ic party have good reason for claiming
the right to dictate its platform and its
ticket for 1896. They represent ma
jority OF It's members, unquestionably,
and its record in congress on this ques-
tion further juStiies them in demand
ing that It's future course shall be reg
ulated according TO their wishes. AS
far back as 1877, the democrats in the
house voted 10 to one in favor of free
coinage. Again, in 1890, they voted
to in favor of 1t; and in the senate
every democratic vote was cast for such
proposition. In 1891 the senate again
voted OF the question, and eignt-ninths
of the democrats voted the same way.
The next year, there was another vote
in the house, and the democrats gave a
majority of 40 for free coinage; and
another vote in the senate showed a
democratic majority Of 21 on that side.
AT other times, in various ways, dem
ocratic support and encouragement has
been given to the free silver cause with
su fficient force to commit that party to
that doctrine. It is true that there has
always been an element Of democratic
opposition, but it has never been suffi-
ciently formidable to control the party
on direct vote, and to win a victory
for sound money without republican
assistance.
''In view of these facts, it must be
confessed that the free silverites may
properly assert the right to decide what
the party shall do on the currency
question. They have been put off from
time to time in national conventions on
the plea Of expedience and necessity Of
facing both ways IN order to secure
votes; and they cannot be blamed for
refusing to be trified with any longer.
The president, speaking of the sound
money contingent Of the party, has
challenged them to contest on this
issue, and they cannot honorably or
consistently avoid it. They are asked
as a majority to defer to the minority
and repadiate the record that has been
made in favor of their doctrine by dem
ocratic action in congress. The time
has come for them to subordinate all
other considerations to the obligation
of fighting for what they believe to be
the true policy of their party; and all
the signs are to the effect that they so
understand the situation and are re-
solved to have their way at any cost.
They can really see that there is no
hope of democratic success in following
the course that has heretofore been
pursued and they propose to try new
departure"

Don't Worry,

Worry annually kills more people
than work, for worry fatigues the
nerves; but it is useless to tell peO-
pie of nervous temperaments not to
worry. One should strive, however, to
avoid all things that tend to disturb
the nerves. Throw away a pen that
scratches and pencil that has bit
of hard lead in its makeup. Discard
needle that fsqueaks" and basin
that leaks. Use sharp tools, and wear
soft garments. Oil the hinges of the
rheumatic door, and fasten the creak-
ing blind. Have your neighbor's dog
quietly "anaesthetized" into another
and better world, for the law will shield
the nervous man from the irritating
nuisance of a barking dog. These may
seem but trifles; but such trifles irritate
the nerves as much as a piece of wooden
does a raw sore. Charles Lamb, that
quiet, inoffensive man, said that car
penter's hammer in a warm summer
noon would fret him into more than a
midsummer madness.-From ''Ner-
vousness: How to Avoid It.'' in Dem

1t is reasonably certain that farmers
have learned how to make a profit by
feeding wheat to stock, that it will con-
tinue to be fed, even if it goes much
higher in price than it is now.
There is one plant that is rapidly
coming in favor with the Kansas farmers
and that Is the irrigation plant. A
Kansas farmer without at least one of
these plants will never be happy.

there should be complete creamery

should be exhausted before we consent

The business of the station is TO supply

from these eggs are purchased at the
rate Of 81 per pound and reeled in the
flature. Not very many persons OBJ
tain eggs from the station and raise
cocoons but those who do make from

from the Kansas grown cocoons is the
