Editor Sentinel Now that the season
for baked turkey, cold turkey, and tur-
key hssh has come and gone, the few
remaining gobblers may strut with i'm
punity, and the hens may quietly steal
their nests among the hedges, briar
thickets and fence corners with the
satisfaction Of . respite at least until
Growers next Thanksgiving proclama-
tion; while the American people will
doubtless turn their attention from the
Egyptian pyramids Of mistakes IL" the
past to the fast accumulating possibili-
ties Of the future. We will all turn
over q "new leaf" but we should not
destroy the old one, for on its soiled
and rumpled surface are recorded
many invaluable lessons learned in the
good old school Of personal observation
under the direction OF that matchless
teacher, experience. Preserve the old
Leaf with it's ''dog ears" and finger
prints; they will serve as constant re-
minders to US to be more careful Of the
new, that at the close Of another year
1t may be less soiled and rumpled.
May the white-winged angel of peace
guide ard protect us all.
The Christmas holidays are cele-
brated in very different manner in
Washington to what we Of the South
have been accustomed. Here every
thing was as quiet as could be and really
seemed more like Easter Sunday than
Christmas day. We did not see or
hear any irecrackers or fireworks Of
any kind during the entire holidays,
while at home we have a whole week
Of the juvenile abomination-usually
made more abominable by Juveniles ol
the Whiskers variety. Washington re-
serves her fireworks for the Fourth oi
July, when it seems that she tries to re;
produce a facsimile copy Of the time
t"hell broke loose in Georgia." There
is no time ot the year, unless it be a
that melancholy season when the
leaves begin to turn" or "the swallows
homeward ay," that our old homesick
soul yearns for home, sweet home, and
loved ones as at Christmastida, when
memory swings open on its rusty hinges
and the SOULS overwhelmed with sweet
thoughts Of childhood hours when the
dear, good mother iondly folded US in
her gentle arms and sweetly told the

Of Santa Claus and the reindeer, and

POLITICAL SPEAKERS THE FEATURE At A CHURCH PICNIC
Republicans Make Futile Effort SaeTrack The Money Question for
The Tariff

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 5-The speaking cam
paign has been in progress in Kansas about
two weeks. The speakers, therefore, have
had scarcely time TO wear the wire edge
on their voices. There is more talent in
the field this year than usual. and greater
demand for Il than ever before. The people
are seeking light, and from every quarter
OF the State comes an appeal for takers.
Everything is running to politics. Soldiers
reunions, farmers picnics. old settlers
gatherings and other affairs OF that char
acter are touched of by a political dis
cussion.
The managers Of a recent church picnic
in Shawnee county treated the brethren TO
political debate. An Abilene society belle
entertained the other evening with polit-
ical tea. The men argued the money ques-
ton in two minute speeches and the girls
sat in judgment. Silver won. Ed Little
was on that side.
The county campaigns are red hot The
candidates are making a house to house
canvass in the daytime and at night they
address the people in the school houses.
Besides the candidates there are dozens Of
bright young fellows in every county who
have entered the campaign with energy.
Very little is talked about aside from the
financial question The Republicans try to
sidetrack money for tariff. but the people
won't stand 1t. Many a Republican orator
has seen his crowd diminish because he
insisted upon pounding away at the tariff
question.
Each county campaign is opened with a
grand rally at some central point gen.
orally at the county seat, and there always
is a State candidate present TO help out.

1t is stated positively by those in position
to know that fusion arrangements will be
consumated in the Sixth district within a
week.
The Republicans admit that they will
lose several thousand votes on account OF
their gold standard platform but claim
that the most of these votes will be cast
Tor the Republican State ticket. This last
assertion, however, is denied BY the Popu-
lists. who claim that the most of the free
silver Republicans will vote the ticket
straight from Bryan to Striker. The in
formation obtainable does not throw any
light on the subject

licans would have only 1863 majority over

The reports about the contest in the
