The Gold Standard Democracy OfKan-
sas Issues an Address.

The Gold Standard Democracy OF Kan
sas Issues an Address.
Sam Kimble's gold standard Demo
cratic party of Kansas is on its feet. It
| issued an address last night after being
in conference during the greater por-
ton of the afternoon. There are five in
the party but Mr.. Kimble has assur-
ances from four or five more who want
to join Mr. Kimble and those who con-
ferFed with him yesterday think they
will find enough sound money Demo-
Gratis in the state for the stare Offices.
It was agreed that state convention
should be called for September or be-
fore. The arrangements will be made
later.
Following is the address:
Whereas, The convention assembled
at Chicago, Ill, in the name of the par
ty did, on July 10, 1896, announce to the
world a platform at such variance with
the cardinal principles of true Democ-
racy, we, the undersigned Democrats of
Kansas, deeply regretting the unfortu-
nate position now confronting our par
ty and our country, feel it incumbent
upon our cOnScienceS to express our dis
approval and reputation of the plat
form and ticket announced at Chicago;
and pledge ourselves TO unite in all le-
climate efforts to preserve the good
name of our party and the integrity OF
its principles to the end that peace and
good order may prevail in our land;
that thrift and confidence return to our
SOrely stagnated business interests;
that economy be urged in our admins
tration of public affairs; that states
manship be evidenced more by patriot
ic self-Sacrifice than ability to secure
the profits of Office; and that the pa
triotiSm of our citizens be aroused to
a wholesome and loyal respect and sup
port of the courts of the land, and
Whereas We are advised by the ex-
4 TfTar,
National Democratic party of the steps
being taken for calling a national con-
ventiOn of such party on or before Sep
TENDER 2, 1896, and its request that we
designate some of our membership in
this state to act as temporary or proVi-
SiOnal national committeeman from
Kansas to meeting Of the said nation
al committee at Indianapolis, August
z, and being heartily in accord with the
wishes and purposes of said executive
committee, therefore be it declared that
we organize in Kansas to such an end
and appoint Eugene Hagan of Topeka
as our representative from Kansas to
the national committee of the Sound
Money National Democratic party and
that he attend the meeting of the said
national committee at Indianapolis,
August Z, and perform all duties on our
behalf as national committeeman until
a regular convention of this organiza-
ton in Kansas shall make its selection
to such office and that further steps be
taken following the said national COM
mittee. SAM KIMBLE,

which are in operation this year they
were not put in soon enough to make
fair test of what irrigation will do. The

SILVER THE ONLY ISSUE.
Arthur sewall Says Tariff Can Not be
Made the Issue.

Bath. Me, Aug. 1.-Mr. Arthur Sew
all expressed his opinion upon the is
sues of the campaign in an interview
yesterday in which he said: The only
issue of the campaign is free silver. The
Republicans have been trying to force
the tariff to the front but can not do it.
The trouble is not there. The people
want prosperity which is having every
man at work and all the wheels NOV
ing. They have tried high tariff and
low tariff and matters have been con-
tinually growing worse.
THE Democratic party have decided
that the trouble lies in the financial
system and the remedy is the remonet-
izatiOn of silver.
THE people have decided the same
way"

NEGLECT OF TAYLOR.
Philadelphia and the State Itself Ignore
 the Gifted Man of Letters.

Philadelphia and the State Itself Ignored
 the Gifted Man of Letters.
 There is no character that shows the Pennsylvanian feeling so well as Bayard Taylor. He was thorough son of the soil. His German and Quaker ancestors had been Pennsyl. vanian for many generations. He al- ways felt that he belonged to the state. He tried to identify himself with it as much as he could and as much as it would let him. He built himself a home in his native valley and tried his best to live there. He wrote novels and ballads to describe its scenes. But his difficulty was not merely that he was forced to say that there was a tyranny of public sentiment there which was against him. His real diff faculties were still larger. The whole state rejected him. Its chief city, Philadelphia, would have nothing to do with him. It seemed extraordinary that, after the state had produced it's first great poet and its first really gifted man of letters, of whom any commonwealth might be proud, the state and the city should unite in kick ing him out of doors.
 Fortunately for these children who are so summarily ejected, they are usually of sufficient ability to be val ued by other communities. Taylor was of loyal and honorable nature. He felt that he belonged to his old home and was always trying to get back. Hut, undesired and appreciated by his native state he sought sympa- thy abroad. Germany honored him and he received more encouragement and regard in few years on the Rhine than he received in his whole life on the Delaware. New York adopted him as her son. When he was appointed minister to Berlin Pennsyl- vania and Philadelphia were silent but New York gave him banquet When his dead body was brought home from Germany New York received him and he lay in state, with a guard of honor, in her city hall. When he was carried to Kennett square to be buried his native state was again silent and seemed to be unaware that she was receiving him into her soil."-Sydney c. Fisher, in Lippincott's Magazine.

NEW METALS FOR COINS.
rure Nickel for Nickels and Aluminium fo
 Cent Pieces.

rure Nickel for Nickels and Aluminium for
 Cent Pieces.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Experiments with pure nickel and aluminium as substitutes for the present nickel pieces and one and two cent bronze pieces will be made at the hints by order of Director Preston during Sep- tember or October. A resolution was passed by the house of representatives authorizing such experiments. There Is some doubt whether the actual adoption of a new metal for the minor coins will be recommended at an early date by the treas. ury officials, even if the experiments prove successful. The objection to a change in any form of coins or notes is the disposition of the public to re. fuse the old forms and insist upon hay. ing the new. This would drive into the hints for recoinage S14,OOO, 900 in nickel pieces, which are now in circu- 'ation, and s7,5Oo, 1000 in pennies. The advantage claimed for pure nickel. in. stead of the alloy now used in Ave- cent pieces is it's greater hardness, durability and distinctness of impress: sion.

THE GREAT NURSERIES.
Louisiana, Mo-, Rockport. nls.-Visited by Gov. Colman, Ex-Sec'y AgrL and the
 Hort. Ed, Judge Miller.

"Oh, how insignificant all my fifty years of nursery business seems, all combined, when compared with this stupendous es- tablishment, where they count by millions" said Judge Miller, that veteran horticultur- ist, as he, in company with the writer, were being driven to the various departments Of this vast nursery.
 In an experience of over forty years we do not remember to have passed through an establishment where so large number or hands were employed whose duties were so thoroughly systemized, and w. ere busi- ness capacity of higher order vas manl- fested.
 It is not in the soil of every farm that one finds qualities essential to thc growth or the different kinds of Nursery stock, hence 1t has devolved upon these gentlemen, who were born to the Nursery business, to select from among the hills and valleys Of the two Pikes such portions as are adapted to their purposes. But in this very fact of selection of soil, we see their exceeding care for the future success of their sock.
 Missouri and Illinois have no more worthy institutions than the Stark Nurseries, and surely, no better or more representative men than the proprietors. The business is growing on their hands as it deserves to grow.
 They have system of 40, 900 acres of com. mercial test orchards located in great fruit growing regions.
 The canvassing force is being increased, 5000 fine outfits ready. Stark Nurseries al. ways have room for more active workers because they have millions of Stark trees to sell.-ColmaRs Rural World.

Rush on the Treasury Department to Get

 WASHINGTON, Aug. l.-The demand on the treasury department for the new $l silver certificates is something unprecedented and has already taxed the bureau of engraving and printing much beyond its capacity. These notes are being issued at the rate of $40, 900 a day, and the total amount now out standing is S2sO,OO0 Many bankers have offered gold for them, and it is said that they are rated at premium of 25 per cent. in Wall street. Owing to the limited stock on hand the treas ury is able only to issue them at pres ent in redemption of old and worn out silver certificates. The new S2 and & silver certificates will be ready for issue next week, and it is supposed there will be similar demand for them while they are new.
