Mr.. LEASE OF KANSAS.

An Unknown Husband Of . Well Known
Woman Of the Day.
Written especially for The Gentlemen's Home
Journalj
Few would think to lcok at the husband
of Mary Ellen Lease, the celebrated ora
tress and agitatress OF Kansas, that much
of his wife's success Is due 10 her hus-
bands careful supervision Of his wife's
and her husbands mutual home.
Mrs. Leases husband IL q man who L.
ever thoughtful Of those little things that
contribute to the tout ensemble Of the
household, If may be permitted to put 1t
that way. When other men have their
heels caught up about she grocery store,
sharing each others political opinions and
tobacco, Mrs. Leases husband is at home
engaged in the exercise of those domestic
virtues that have andeared him to the
hearts OF every woman In town. Political
affiliations and those things he leaves to
Mrs. Lease, whose voice. accustomed to
tbs broad sweep of the prairies, appears
better f1tted to do so.
"Why," says MI. Lease, laying his work
down in his lap and raising the darning
needle argumentatively in the air, 'swhy
seek to imbitter my existence with the
oark and care, etc., of public sphere
when Mary Ellen can go forth upon the
rostrum and battle with the hordes of plu-
tocraoy?'
Giving utteranoe to which homely piece
of philosophy, Mr.. Lease looks in the oven
and tries the cake with a straw which be
plucks out of the broom for that purpose.
There is an air Of peace and contentment
about the house. Mrs. Lease is abroad.

or Vice Versa, and, If So, Why Notq
The correspondent of The Gentlemen's
Home Journal was pleasantly entertained
by Mr.. Lease and found him to be we'll
informed upon all public matters that en-
gage the attention of his talented wife. He
was alive to the responsibility of his posi-
ton and said, "Oh, If more men who are
now running for office could only realize,
before 1t is too late, how much better it
would be to remain home and do chores
while their wives attended to things and
how much happier the world would bel"
Saying which, Mr.. Lease thoughtfully
turned his apron over and wiped his ooun-
tenance with the other side, while the COR
respondent came slowly away, bearing in
his hand homemade pie which Mr..
Lease had forced upon his acceptance.
Meeting poor boy shortly afterwa-d, the
correspondent gave him the pie.
1t was but the work of a moment for
the boy to take large rock and break the
pie into several fragments, which he gen
erously distributed among his oompan-
ions.-New York World.

Watson's Electoral Vote.

Had Mr.. Bryan been elected Presi-
dent it is very likely the choice Of
Vice. President would have fallen tc
the senate for the division of votes
would have prevented either Sewall
or Watson from having a majority in
the electoral college.
As it is, Watson will have at least q
votes in the electoral college and may
receive more. He will get four votes
from Louisiana, five from North Car
DINA, four from Nebraska, two from
Washington, one from Utah, one from
Montana and four from Missouri. In
1892 the Populists had % votes in the
electoral college.
In other respects the party seems to
have been as successful as in the past,
or more 80. Populist committeeman
claim the election of 81 congressman
from California, Idaho, Colorado, Al
ALBANIA, Nebraska, Kansas, North Car
DINA and South Dakota. In the pres
emit congress the Populists have only
six members. They also hope to Sc
cure senators from Kansas, South
Dakota, Idaho and possibly North
Carolina. This will leave them with
about the same strength in the senate
as they have at the present time.

KENTUCKY POLITICS.
Blackburn May Become Governor i
Bradley is Elected Senator.

LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 15.-It is
rumored that Blackburn's supporters
in the Legislature will vote for Gov
ernor Bradley for United States Sena-
tor, and that Senator Blackburn will
run for Governor for Bradley's unex-
pired term. 1t is said that should
Blackburn find that the gold Demo-
Gratis would make an aggressive cam
paign against him he would be IN favor
of Major P. p. Johnston making the
gubernatorial race. Gold Democratic
leaders here say that Blackburn shall
not be Governor if they can prevent
it, but one of them admitted that it
would be difficult to defeat Major
Johnston should he become a candI-
date. The Major, when first chosen
chairman of the State Democratic
Committee, advocated a conservative
policy, but his advice was ignored and
a bitter campaign followed. Some of
the leading Republicans and gold
standard Democrats have declared
themselves against the calling of an
extra session of the Legislature, fear
ing a repetition of last winters fiaseo.
They are also afraid to hold another
election in the State next year for
Governor, owing to the surprising re-
suits of the recent presidential cleo
ton.

BUTLER RAPs DEMOCRATS.
No More Fusion Deals Like the Recent
Ones Wanted.

RALEIGH, N. O., Nov. 14.-Senator
Buffers paper says editorially:
Speaking now for the Peoples party
of North Carolina, and, we believe,
for the nation, we take the liberty OF
serving notice on Mr.. Bryan that If he
desires to head the reform forces of
the Peoples party in the next fight he
must do SO under some other name
than that of Democrat. The name has
become a r%eproach and a stencil
among the people, and it will not be
supported any more, now or here
after. In the campaign just closed the
Peoples party joined forces with the
Democrats and the Democrats again
played the people false-grossly and
brutally false. We are done with them
now and forever, and also with any
man who seeks to lead the people
hereafter under any standard that
may bear the name or have the smirch
of the word Democrat on it."

Now let us see what we shall do. ]
believe that we should commence al
the A B C's, as there are a great many
who would have voted for free silver
had they understood it. We must GO
to them in a persuasive and convincing
manner and endeavor to show them
that we are not the outlaws that we
have been called, and / am glad to say
that such accusations have fallen fat
The people have been told by the
gold men that it would be a great
crime to restore silver to its original
place as money. Many others seem
to think that we have mountains OF
silver and to coin 1t into dollars would
bankrupt the government; others be-
Iieye that it would not be fair to double
the silver mine owners wealth, and
others believe that our dollars would
only be worth So cents after it leaves
the mine owner, and many others be.
lleve that it woul be unjust to pay ltd
coin bonds in silver, as they don't
know the contract; many others be-
lieve that we would be run over with
foreign silver to be coined by the gov

taught that to enhance the value Of
the products of the farm that the cost
of living would be more, when we all
know that prosperity must begin or
the farm, az it is the source of al

these men and get them to hear both
sides of the question, we must also
make them see that their prejudice
against Democrats should cease, - the

AS A RESULT OF AN OLD rrrm
Two Men Are Shot to Death and A.
other Fatally Wounded in
Kentucky.

WIcKLIFFE, KY, Nov. 14.-An ola
feud that has been brewing for some
time between the Taylor and Sheabv
families, in the Sand Creek neighbors
hood Of this county, broke ont vests.
day with terrible results. John IN.
lor was instantly killed, his son N.
fatally wounded, dying in a short time.
and Mort. Shelby, the leader Of the
other faction, is thought to be dying
Of the wounds received. 1t has becn
common talk among the people Of
Ballard County that the men ofboth
sides have been going armed for some
time and an outbreak was expected
whenever there was proyocatlou. The
enemies avoided one another, but II
was only a question Of time until there
should be a clash.
The bitterness came about a year or
so ago by the murder of an old woman
named Moore. Evan Shelby was
lynched for the crime and 1t has al
ways been maintained by the Shelbys
that the Taylors had a prominent
hand Id the lynching. Evan Shelby,
his uncle, was also indicted for the
murder, but upon the trial was ac-
quilted. Since that time q deadly
enmity has existed and several minor
outbreaks have occurred, though life
was not taken until the outbreak of
yesterday.
This outbreak was provoked by one
faction setting dogs upon the hogs OF
the other. A smouldering fire quickly
broke into q flame and the two ene-
mics and their sons engaged in q war
of words, which oon resulted in pis-
tolls being drawn, every one having
been armed for some months in case
of an emergency. At times they even
carried rifles, and especially when
they drove to town or left the farm for
a brief time.
The scene of the feudal battle is a
remote section on the banks of the
Ohio river. The affair was reported
to the Coroner to-day and he has gone
to investigate. Arrests of all the I'M
injured participants in the battle will
be probably made as the easiest way
to prevent further outbreaks. Both
families are widely connected, being
among the oldest settlers Of the
county.

Women In PuIpits.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 18.-Women preached
in so pulpits in st. Louis Sunday. Con-
gregational, Methodist, Episcopal,
Baptist, Christian, Presbyterian and
Evangelical churches all opened their
doors to lecturing members of the
Women'sC Christian Temperance Union.
The spectacle thus presented was no
less memorable than impressive mark
ing a it does IN r in religious liber-
ality. Many were lost for awhile in
contemplation of the strangeness of
the event, but the feeling of novelty
soon wore off and the sermons became
fully as effective, IL not more so, than
those of the regular pastors.
Forty years since, when Mrs. An
toinette Blackburn Brown, of Orange,
N. j., startled an ecclesiastical world
by becoming ordained as a minister,
the presence OF nearly one hundred
women in as many pulpits in one city
would have been impossible.
