A second ward man whose niece
had coaxed him to buy her a parrot
succeeded in getting bird that was
warranted good talker. He brought
it home and after putting it in a cage
stood before it and said, "Say uncle,
Polly" The bird did not respond,
and after repeating the sentence a doz-
en- times Or more with no better sue
cess the uncle put his hand into the
cage and grabbed The bird by the neck,
shook him until his head wabbled
around, all the time yelling to him.
"Say uncle, goll darn you, say unclep'
The bird looked limp and lifeless; and,
disgusuted with his purchase, the old
fellow took the parrot into the yard
where he had coop of thirty chickens.
Thrusting the half dead bird in with
the chickens. he exclaimed, "There,
by gosh! You'll say uncle before you
get QUIT" Next morning the uncle
went to see how the parrot was getting
on. Looking into the coop, he
counted twenty-nine dead chickens,
and in the coop stood the parrot on
one foot, holding the thirtieth chicken
by the neck and shaking it till its
head wabbled, and screaming, ssSay
uncle, COLL darn you, say uncle!"

What the Bolt Means.

The revolt of the silver advocates
from the republican national conven-
ton at St Louis involves startlin g
political changes in the United States
senate, which very few of the delegates,
who were herded like sheep in this con-
vention, realize. Whatever the degree
Of success which may attend the
bolt, and however great may be repub-
lican victory in the fall, siiver's depart
ure from the republican party means
the instant removal from the repub-
lican vote in the United States of
twelve United States silver senators.
When the Dingley bill was pending
in the senate a group of five silver
republicans defeated action, with the
declaration of ''No' silver, no protec-
tion." Others who were with them
in sympathy, but not in action,
declined then to participate because
they preferred to await the action Of
this convention on finance. This last
straw to which they chung having dis
appeared. they have irrevocably cast
their fortunes with their associates.
The bolt, therefore, carries with it
from the republican side in the senate
TWELVE members who believe in sill
yer first and republicanism afterwards.
So, Notwithstanding the greatest pos
sible success which may attend the
republican campaign, it will yet re-
main ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE for
republican administration to achieve

Free Silver Coinage Defined.

The principle that it is safer to rely
for money on two metals than on one
is principle that we carry into every
day life. We rely on wheat, corn and
rye for bread. on beef, pork and NUT
ton for meat. If one is scarce, we use
the other.
Under free coinage of both metals
silver and gold are in competition with
each other to supply the demand for
money. So long as pork and mutton

Death to Gold Standard Monoposists.

are in competition with beef for meat
beef cannot rise unduly in value and
threaten the health of the nation, and
gold could not, as it is doing now
threaten the credit of this great nation
if silver were in competition with it as
money.
You hear us called "silver men.
AS if we were opposed to gold We
are called silver men because silver
is the metal demonetized and we are
trying to restore it to equal rights with
gold. We are in favor of putting the
white metal on an equality with
the colored metal To do this does
not mean that we put the country on
a silver basis. It means the right
to make primary money from either
metal, and this way one relieves the
strain upon the other.
AS we have two eyes, one to relieve
the strain upon the other, and two ears,
one to relieve the strain upon the other
and for the same reason two openings
in the nose, two lobes to the lungs and
two venticles to the heart, so is this
great necessity for money supplied by
having two metals-one to relieve the
strain upon the other-and having
the right to use the two does not
mean moNometallism.
Mckinley and the republican plat
form are opposed to double standard,
for they favor the present single gold
standard. The democrats will, at
their convention in Chicago July 7th,
nominate a man and adopt a platform
pledgiDg the use of both gold and
silver on equal terms. and the only
way to place them upon equal terms
is to give silver the same privileges
of mintage as has gold. Reader,
which do you want? A double stand
ard OF value that will permit one metal
to act as check upon the other metal,
or the republican single standard that
places gold in position to monopolize
the market, with the power to raise or
lower all values at the wish of the
owners of gold?
If yeu believe in fairness and Justice
you cannot honestly support the repub'
lican party.

THE WHOLE TRUTH.

There are hundreds of millionaire
Americans who live in Europe nine
tenths of the year. This country is
too crude for their fine ears and noses.
They remain in Paris or London till
they really to all intents and purposes
become more British or French than
American. London and Paris are
more familiar to them than New York
or Chicago or San Francisco, where
the men of the family made the mil
lions that these snobs are spending in
Europe. They regard their native
land only as place to draw money
from, in order that they may spend it
in Europe. Have not people the right
to do as they please? they ask. Well,
no. The more money one has the
more obligation goes with it to spend
that money for the good of others as
well as himself. The common people
who drudge and make the millionaires
money are beginning to see this. The
porcine policy destroys those who pur-
sue it. IF this country is not so beau
tiful and convenient to- live in as
Europe, it is the business of those with
millions of money to make it So
Topeka Mail and Breeze.
The Mail and Breeze iever con-
tanned more truthful statement Il
its editor had gone ahead and told the
whole truth, he would have said also
that everyone of those hundreds of
American millionaires is in. favor of
the single gold standard of the repub
lican party; that everyone of them
favors the high protective tariff of the
republican party; that everyone of
them today considers the Kansas
farmer and mechanic but as so much
machinery needed to keep the COM
mercial interests of the east on the
boom, and that they should not pause
in their work of production to think
for themselves upon such weighty
matters as what should be the fnan-
ciaI system of this country.
Had the Mail and Breeze told the
whole truth, it would have told that
those peutrid European blots upon
American citizenship are ready and
willing to contribute of their many
millions have been doing it for
years-to corrupt officials, to buy the
influence of the press and, yes, the
pulpit, in behalf of THEIR foreign Gull
tured ideas of finances in order that
they may continue to accumulate
other millions to spend in Paris and
London.
The time is rapidly approaching,
however, when the common people,
the only true patriots of the land, will
cease to heed the beck and call of
those same eastern snobs; and when
that time comes, probably the Mail
and Breeze, the official organ of the
state of Kansas by grace of the re-
publican party, kept in power by the
aid and the influence of those same
snobs. may possibly realize that it
would have been well to tell the truth,
the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the
truth.

AU REyOIR.

j. w. Conway, editor of the Nor
ton Champion, bids farewell to the g.
o. p. in the following manly and
straightforward manner:
eve have come to the parting of
the ways"
Since our first vote cast for presi-
dent we have travelled with the grand
old republican party in every election.
Now that party has surveyed its way
over the narrow, gold,paved path, and
goes aside contrary to its profession of
principle and interest, and shifted
from its traditional course.
We shall go on straight ahead. The
path of truth is straight line.
In the words of the song we
''Say au revoir,
But not good bye"
We cannot say "good.bye;" that
means, "God be with you"
The course selected by the party
leaders at st. Louis is goddess one;
1t is a pilgrimage to the shrine of the
golden idol, the Baal Of iniquity, and
baleful must be the outcome.
We declare ourselves in step with
impoverished humanity, and cry out
in protest against political leadership
that commits the party to new con-
viction, the single gold standard.
The republican party affirmed that
1.-The American people from tradition
and interest favor bimetallism, and
demand the use of both gold and sill
yer as standard money"
Now what affirmation does our
party give us? e'The existing gold
standard must be preserved"
How long? "Until an interna-
tional agreement favoring bimetallism
be secured"
How long? Until moneyed wealth.
gold hoarders, until cutpurses of the
Observation-Disclosures and Rothschilds,
until gold'stufed England consent to
dissipate their control of cornered
gold-until the corrugated dome of
tabled hell is rooted with ice.
The republican party offers as its
excuse for the demonstration of sill.
yer in 1873, the reason that silver
was then too dear to coin; it was too
rich for standard currency.
The republican party offers now as
excuse for not coming silver free the
contrary reason, that silver is too
cheap for standard money.
An idiot, with all his inspired folly,
could not invent two absurdities so
With the republican party as
guardian of silver, when will it per-
nit silver's free access to the minis?
When 412.5 grains of one equal
25.8 grains of the other. In other
words, when silver as bullion is worth
as much as silver coined. Silver may
then say to the republican party:
"No need of your assistance now; the
markets of the world are good. enough
for me. Your law debased me, sent
me an outcast with the brand of Cain
upon my face, all hands raised against
me to destroy Your patronage now
is sycophancy. You have deprived
me of my patrimony at the minis; l
have earned a home in the markets of
the world"
The financial policies of the parties
are the only issues before the Ameri:
can people today.
The republican party will! not offer
any redress for silver until silver is
independent of the republican party.
AS an advocate of the claims of sill
yer, therefore, The Champion hereby
and now declares itself Independent
of the republican party. If it will not
aid us in an hour of need, no need of

CONSERVATISM in all things is the better plan, and especially should it be observed in politics, says an ex- change. The extremists never ac- compIish anything great, neither do the unfair. It may serve q purpose for awhile, but will in time react upon the person that attempts it.. Those whose names are written highest upon the everlasting pin nacles of fame have been characters that were built upon justice He who expects to become great with his fellow man, and has an ambition to leave some footprints on the sands of time, should be careful not to tread in the extreme selfish paths that overrun truth and justice, for disappointment will be his in the end.

 Baron Roontgen was born in lS45 in Zurich, Switzerland, and until his twen- ty-fifth year studied in the Zurich uni versity, where he graduated and received his M. D. diploma.
 After brief practice in Strasburg, he was appointed professor of chemistry in the Strasburg university. Since 1872 he has been professor at Hohenheim, Giessen and Wurzburg. It is said that he will devote all his energies in future to the perfection of his discovery.
 It will be remembered that Kaiser Wilhelm decorated the professor with the Order of tho Royal Crown a few weeks ago His majesty had invited the professor to the sehloss to illustrate his discovery by few experiments, which proved highly satisfactory Nov York Journal
