What Wins in Kansas.

Emporia Gazette; They say that
all wealth comes from the soil. Yet
Kansas, which had the largest crop Of
any American state, is the hardest up.
And the New England states, where
they don't raise much, are all right.
Wealth does not come from the soil.
1t comes from brains. The man who
works with his hands and uses only
muscle isn't In 1t. He hasn't been in
1t for a generation. He never will be
in it again. Laws won't put him in
1t. The thing is the result Of the law
Of nature. Free silver won't do 1t;
free riot won't do 1t. Brains have the
call over muscle; cunning is the mas
ter Of brute strength. 1t will do no
good to organize societies; the thing
to do is for each man to develop his
brain and strike out for himself. The
social salvation Of the community lies
in having a large per cent Of individ-
ual hustlers. The individual must
work out his own success and be must
use bis head more than bis hands.

Dusling in Hungary.

The criminal court at Buda-Pesth
had to deal with q case Of offense
against the dueling laws on the part
Of two young engineers, 1gnaz Reiner
and Leo Lichtblau, who were each SEN
fenced to three days Imprisonment,
allowance being made for "extenuating
circumstances" The couple had come
to blows, and, following the fashion Of
the times, they determined to wipe out
the insult in blood. Reiner sent LIGHT
blau challenge and the seconds ar
ranged for a duel with pistols On the
most stringent terms. The affair did
not come of, however, for Lichtblau
waited couple Of hours before the ap-
pointed time on the police superintend-
ent Of eighth division and gave him
notice Of the impending duel. The su.
perintendent calmly listened to the
"brave champions" detailed report,
and then quietly observed that he al
ready knew all about the matter. "How
Is that?" "Why, simply because your
opponent was here only an hour ago
witha similar statement."-Pesti Naplo.

Many men saw how they had been
deceived. The cooperative stores
nearly all failed. The business
schemes which were to drive merch-
ants out Of business collapsed. The
assessments were frequent for the
bosses were high liyers and the
organization dwindled Lecturers
tried to save it but the people only
laughed at them. Now, we believe,
this county has not single lodge,
the password is forgotten, and the
Alliance is no more.s Only under ex-
ceptional circumstances could it be
born and 1t could not last. 1t gave
Kansas PETER, Simpson, Lease, Davis
and Populism. The South was going
to join hands but the joining was all
on Kansas part. The Alliance never
did anybody any good but it made
things mighty interesting for awhile
and furnished q chapter Of Kansas
history which none who went through
II will ever forget.

A sweet young artist Of Lawrence
desires to know.what form Of decora-
ton would be the most appropriate
for china plate, which she contem-
plates presenting to her husband for
Christmas. There are many pretty
designs that might be used. One
way is to place on the body Of the
plate several slices OF the breast Of a
turkey, and little dark meat in one
corner Of the'plate put spoonful Of
mashed potatoes, with brown gravy.
This always makes very appropriate
decoration for Christmas plate.

great deal has been said about
the terrible load Of mortgages under
which the farmer Is staggering. Il
was one Of the bugaboos Of the free
silver party in the recent campaign,
But Secretary Morton's report puts a
different face on the matter. 1t turns
out that there was no need Of explain
ing away the evil Of farm mortgages,
for Secretary Morton's report brings
out the fact that the farms Of the
country are not plastered with mort
cages. In point Of fact, 70 per cent
Of the farms in the United States &C.
cupied by their owners arc absolutely
free from mortgages or other mourn
brances. And doubtless Of the 28
per cent Of the farmers whose
are mortgaged . large proper
tion arc entirely solvent, and
are getting much more benefit out
Of the money they have borrowed than
the rent they pay for it in the shape
Of interest. 1t is very much like the
old story Of the man who asked some
philosophers why the weight Of a jar
Of water was not increased by putting
live fish in it. The philosophers
did sums for long time to explain
the puzzle, until it occurred to one Of
them to try the experiment, when, OF
course, 1t was found that the fish in
creased the weight Of the jar. Secre-
tary Morton's statistics really tell
nothing new. The facts as to farm
mortgages have been accessible for
many years past. But the windy as
sertions Of the Democratic orators
made many people forget to look up
the facts; and so there was great
hue and cry about the American
farmer sinking under Ubiquitous mort
cages, until at last even some farm
ers who were free Of any mortgage
began to shout with the rest, and
fictitious gloom appeared to settle
over the whole country.
The farmer appears to be about as
well off as anybody in these days Of
Democratic depression and far better
off than a good many.

The turning over OF the Ellsworth
reunion grounds to the W. R. G. fol
disabled widows Of veterans is a noble
thing-but it would be nobler If the
grounds were located where they
could be used to better advantage.
The grounds consist Of 100 acres and
$4,000 has been spent on them. The
legislature appropriated the money
several years ago. At the time con-
sentative men looked upon the appro.
priation as a criminal waste Of money
but they were powerless and the bill
went through with hurrah. At the
same session Of the legislature an ap-
preparation Of 100000 was asked for
additional buildings at the Soldiers
Orphans home but it was refused.
The buildings erected by the States
money on the Ellsworth grounds have
fallen into decay and have been Of
little or no value to the Grand Army
Of the Republic or Of comfort to old
soldiers who we're privileged to make
homes in the cottages. 1t will take a
great deal Of money to keep the
grounds up for the widows Of veterans
and 1t seems to be a bad location for
such purpose. :

The Kansas Day club Of young Re.

quet January 20 at Topeka. The club
has selected a brilliant list oispeakers
and there will be- no end Of good
time at the feast. 1t is not exactly o
year for rejoicing over the election in
Kansas but that will not make the
meeting less happy. The kind Of Re-
publicanism Of which the club Is an
exponent is not the kind that Gibbs
and flows with defeat and success at
the polls. 1t is the kind that is based
on principle and the best interests Of
the Sunfower State.

Ono Financial Problem.

One OF the best solutions Of the
financial question is the patronizine
Of home industries. Instead Of buying
your groceries and dry goods in Kan
sas City buy :hem Of your home mer'
chants; instead Of having your pic
lures taken by travelling photo.
grapher, patronize your home gallery
instead Of patronizing a travelling
quack, consult and patronize your
home physicians, men who help you
to support your churches, schools and
other institutions. Give your trade
to men who pay taxes in the county
and spend their money with you. In
stead Of patronizing travelling insti-
tutions that are with you day or a
month, until they get all the money
they can and leave as little As posi-
bic, spend your money with those
who have made their home with you
for years, who spend their money
with your merchants, farmers, me-
chanics and laborers, who build up
your city, who help to support your
public schools by taxes, your churches
by donations and and every industry
and line Of commerce by their patron
age. 1t is wrong for you to take
your patronage past the door Of such
a man to the temporary place Of bust
ness Of q man who does none OF these
things, who benefits no one in the
community but himself. And espec-
tally Is this true when your home
business man sells you better goods
at the same prices as the man who
comes in the city for the purpose Of
trade for a few days or weeks only.
Patronize your home institutions for
in helping them with your trade you
help yourself and the community in
which you ve.-[Minneapolis Mes
