The two pilgrims rested 1 at the old homestead and were made wei, come to visit each room of the house. which still remain nearly as they were in the early days. Then their journey was continued along the familiar route to the schoolhouse, passing Aunt Lucy's old home, then Aunt Patty's house, then by the old lane that led down to Aunt Cvn- thy's place, where she took so much pains to cultivate sher bed of meeting seeds. They also passed the old graveyard l VAA~AS 4A~1J OL AAGl p4A 5CIOOlLudJC5 anu neighbors rest iD peace.

CREDIT AND CASH.

The refusal of Washington dry
goods establishment to extend credit to
the president of the United States
brings to mind the absurdiry OF the
credit system. The firm and its clerk
did exactly right, despite the indigna-
tor Of Mrs. Cleveland. When an estab-
lishment starts out on the plan to de-
mand cash down for its goods it must
enforce the rule without fear or favor.
If the poorer but honest class OF Gus
toners learn that the richer and no
more honest patrons are not bound by
the rule. they have certainly the right TO
relinauish their respect for the firm.
The credit system in the west is dis
appearing. Hard times have made it do
so. Seven and eight years ago credit
business ran wild, and as a monument
to the folly there are ledgers by the hun
dreds choek full of unpaid accounts. 1t
encouraged the merchant to be careless;
his customers to be extravagant, and
finally ended in bankrupting everybody,
almost, concerned.
The cash system has been superceding
this and is now dominant in the COM
mercial transactions of the west. 1t is
making the people careful and economic
is eliminating the expense Of collection
and litigation. and above all is lowering
the price of goods to the people who do
nav. but who formerly paid for what
they got and what the people who did
not pay purchased" also.

NO CRY FOR AID NOW.

This coming winter there will be no
eos for aid from western Kansas.
TiYre viii be no meeting in the school
houses when the local takers will arise
and bemoan the condition of the people
and appoint committees to go east and
ask for aid; no requests to the railroads
from the committee for transportation;
no committees in the east exaggeratinS
the doleful affairs of Kansas and adver-
Using the states utter helpleSsness in
every metropolitan newspaper in the
land.
That is all gone. 1t was at its height,
only the habit of very few counties.
and those have ceased it. That part OF
western Kansas which did send up the
wall for aid, justly, no doubt, has pass
ed from the function of trying to raise
breadstuff to the province of furnishing
the world with meat. In its latter ca
pacity it is prosperous. The simple
steer with his indolent eyes is doing for
western Kansas something that the
complicated and high-priced mechanism
binder, thresher or reaper-could not
do. The gentle clucking hen is bringing
silekels into the pockets of the western
Kansan where the vaunted steam
plow" fell down ANONYMOUSLY.
Kansas will ask for no aid, not be-
cause her western third has all that it
wants, but because it has come to I'M
derstand what the western third is ca
no hle of,

NEW ORLEANS EXPORT TRADE.

The growth Of the export business at
the port of New Orleans for the past
zinc months has been remarkable. The
following paragraph from the New Or
leans Times Democrat of November ~
throws light upon the quality as well as
the bulk of shipments:
No less than eleven vessels cleared
from this port, OF which nine were for

REFORMS POOR MEMORY.

Why does reform forget? 1t not only
has NJ memory for sub-treasury ware
house plans and the election Of senators
by popular votes or such, but it forgets
its faithful servants. PETER is to be
6attened out by the Populists. That is
undeniable. Why? When Populism
first started it embodied an earnest, ter
rifying protest against barnacles. A
barnacle is an Office holder who has held
too long and who has become faithless
to all except himself. That cry has long
ago ceased. Where is Ben Clover?
Shelved. John Davis? Shelved. Old
Man Baker of the Sixth? Shelved.
Willis? Shelved. Were they shelved
because they were barnacles? No.
Jerry Simpson has just been elected.

THE INDECENT PARKHURST.

DR.. Parkhufst, the preacher fraud Of
New York has done just what the Eagle
prophesied he would do. He has tried to
keep up sensational career and has
ended in the gutter Of public opinion.
Unable to get attention, he played his
last card, which was a lie. He declared
that in New York City there were 230,-
600 married men and women living in
fragrant violation of their marriage com
pacts. There are 100000 married peo-
pie in New York. Parkhurst's number
is 40 per cent of the total.
This makes Parkhurst's charge fear
full one. 1t is a falsehOod, vicious,
maiodorous one 1t will break Park
bursts back. and the devil will laugh at
the fall Of another politician,
who having fallen, can no longer help
his Satanic majesty.
