parents, telling them how much you
are taught here and how little good it
does you. / should be ashamed to

cried and made all sorts of excuses.

NO CHOP ALE" FOR POPS.

Lately. the Anheuser- Busch Brewing Co., OF
St. Louis, introduced into Kansas a 'non-in'
toxicating" beer, which they call "hop ale.
The company has established places for the
sale of this stuff in the principal cities OF the
state, Ottawa being one of the cities. Inc
county attorney of that county (Franklin) mas
begun proceedings against the places there.
The Populists held their county convention
at Ottawa on Saturday, and passed the follow
ing resolutions
Resolved, By the county central comm't'ee
of the Peoples party of Franklin county:
First-That we, as citizens of the county,
consider the very conspicuous sign displayed
by ST. Louis brewers association on MAIN
street business building of Ottawa all insult to
our people. b"
Second-We look upon it with distrust, be-
lieving it to be but entering wedge under
the gtlise of selling harmless drink to destroy
our prohibitory law.
Third-We would, therefore, recommend the
citizens to wait upon the agent of the brewers
and request him to remove from this county
himself and his sign.
GSipned1 VIM. MARTIN,
Secretary of County Central Committee.
The First M. E, church also passed strong
resolutions demanding the Withdrawal OF this
hop ale institution. Hurrah for them!

That OHleieus Biped, Man.

The esteemed Ed Hoch, of Marion, is still
vigorously welding the cudgel on behalf OF the
women, and doing it in manner that calls for
defensive operations on the part of Gov. Esk-
ridge, if that gun of old-fogyism feels equal to
the task, Gov. Eskridge has lampooned the
suffrage cause without mercy, but has he in
his arsenal any shot that will do any real exc
cution against such argument as we append
from the Marion editor If he has, let us
have 'em. Here is Editor Hoch's article, and
we don't believe the Emporia ant-sufragist
editor will tackle it
"The presumption of the biped called man is
amazing when one brings his thinker to calm
consideration of the subject. For instance, he
coolly discusses the suffrage question from his
own lofty height of assumed superiority. Just
stop moment, reader, and think of the gall of
the creature called man, solemnly assuming the
right to dictate whether not women shall
vote And this, too, in the face of the fundas
mental theory of our government-the inherent
right of the governed to participate in the gov
eminent to which they are subject. Or, take
the matter of dress. Here again this presuinp-
tuQuS anlnldii caiicu man, ni"ANS ""N'tfNA -
hibtion OF himself He assumes the right to
dress as he pleases, to wear all sorts of uni
forms, from the militia blue, with its big brass
buttons, to the scant attire OF the baseball
artist and never condescends to ask wherher
the women like it or not. And thus arrayed,
or even more gaudily attired with the plumes
and regalias of the mystic brotherhoods, lie as
sumes to dictate how the other half of creation
shall d.pss. He walks the streets in his shirt
sleeves, with his breeches fastened to his sus-
penders with shingle nail, and then passes an
ordinance making it unlawful for woman to
appear on the streets in Mother Hubbard.
And thus proud man arrogates to himself the
right to boss the universe of humanity, But,
as a matter of fact, has he any such right

HAPPY ANDERSON COUNTY.

Sometime since, an item appeared in the
Plaindealer stating that taxes had been better
paid within the last year in Anderson county
ethan ever before" The item appeared in the
Capital, among the choice clippings. The in
ference is that the prompt payment OF taxes in
Anderson county has been rare thing, and
also rare thing In the state, since 1t appears
in the leading Republican paper OF the state,
According to the showing Of the Capitals clip
ping, there was 268 delinquent land descrip'
tons, and only about half the number OF town
lots of last year, and yet, Anderson "did better
than ever BEFORE" and better, as we infer, than
any other county. But, Anderson will hardly
feel Aattered, and the rest Of hecounties ought
to have the downright blues. Bad showing
unless it was aimed to prove thereby that the
state was in the hands of the "redeemers" and
prosperity perched first upon the broad and fer
tile acres of Anderson county.
What strange thing is this wil-o'-the-wisp
that bobs up here and there and everywhere,
wherever brood the broad wings of the Gre
deemers."

DELIVERANCE.
BY DOROTHY DoLITTLE

The bird untutored to the narrow cage
With Autterng wing strikes vainly at the wire
That circumscribes his freedom; grief and rage
By turn subdue and set his soul on fire
Of birds have souls), till, yielding to his fate,
He sings and sings his little life away.
Be still, my soul, and wait;
A better day
Will cotne, OF soon or late.
sweetness comes to every captured thing.
In time, through times absolvent ministry;
Or Peace may compass the captivity.
Whateer inures, fools only fight with fates
Philosophy propounds an easier way
Be still, my soul, and wait;
4 better day
Will come or soon or late.
The lion, caught to please the gaping crowd,
May dream of Afrc's sun and bite his chain,
And roar his rampant agony aloud,
Whose nearest hunting ground is Deaths do
main.
The captured fly truce may win of fate,
And buzz an hour in the suns bright ray
Be still, my soul and watt
A better day
Will come, or soon or late,
Hearts break, but not the bars of destiny
Fools hearts mean. The wise man seeks
Gods will,
And finds it whatsoee his lot may be-
Thus panoplied his fretted thought grows STILL
Conscious that God alone is Lord of fate,
And that His strength can grid us when we
say:
BE strong, @ soul, and wait
The better day
That comes, or soon or late.

"HERE, TOO, PETE!"

The Seneca (Kas.) News says: The editor
of the News is Populist. He hasn't drop
of Republican or Democratic blood in him.
The past FIVE years have dried up all of that
kind of blood he ever had. He acknowledges
having made fool of himself in the past by
"whooping her up for fusion ticket, but
trusts lie has been forgiven for that mistake.
For the future, he is for one party ticket, and
states that is the Peoples party, and desires to
state now, most emphaticall, that the News
will not have anything to do with fusion
ticket This makes our course plain before
any conventions have been held, so there can
be no complaint nor false accusations after.

DUTY OF THE FRIENDS OF SILVER.

Recently, a silver conference was held in
Washington city. At that meeting, it was re-
solved to go into the primaries and secure sill
yer delegates to the national conventions to be
held next year,
Vain delusion! In view of what has recent
ly transpired, the Republican party will not
have over hundred silver delegates in the
next national convention, and the Democratic
party will not nearly have majority. On this
prediction we will bet dimes to buttons.
1t will be an absolute waste of time and en-
ergy to attempt to control either convention for
free silver. What ought to be done to be efs
fective is the question of the hour, and it seems
to us that we might profit by the lessons taught
us by the gold-bugs. Let silver men comhiue,
as have the gold conspirators, and cast their
solid vote for free silver advocates, There Ia
no other course that promises the shadow of
SUCCESS, Silver clubs should be formed In
every township in the United States, and let
every member be pledged to the support of
only silver men for Office. By thus doing,
congress and president can easily be elected
that will give the people free coinage. To at
tempt to reform two parties when the heads of
the two parties are united is an absurd HndeF:
taking.

In good cause. We will not be defeated

WHILE there are free silver men in all parties,
there is but one party that will openly declare for
thefree coinage of silver at the ratio OF I6 I, or
any other ratio, and that is the Peoples party.
Let all free silver men unite in the support Of
Peoples party candidates. That is the only
way to secure free coinage.
