Don't Be Lazy.

A gentleman who employed a large
number of men in his business, and
who had influence to secure positions
elsewhere, received a letter from q
boy asking him to find him an easy
berth. To this letter the gentleman
sen the following reply:
"You cannot be an editor; do not try
the law; do not think of the ministry;
let alone all ships, shops, and merchan-
disc; abhor politics; don't practice med
icine; be not a farmer nor a mechanic;
neither be a soldier nor a sailor. Don't
work; don't study; don't think. None
of these are easy. 0, my son, you have
come into n hard world. l know of
only one easy Place in it. and that is
the grave"
The truth OK the matter was that the
boy was lazy. He was like a man We
know of who is out Of work. He has
a family OF little children, who need
shoes, clothes, and healthy food. Who
provides these articles7 The father?
| No, indeed. He loafs around while
the mother goes out to sew, or. do house
work for the neighbors; in fact, she is
willing to do anything by which she
can earn an honest penny. The father
says he is waiting for a certain man
ito find him a nice easy job" The
trouble is. he is naturally lazy, and
aDeer-drinking has made him more so.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic national convention is IN
session at Chicago-has been since Tuesday.
The lines between silver and gold are tightly
drawn, and both factions are fighting over ev-
cry inch of ground. The silver men have the
advantage in numbers, however, and succeeded
in embodying their sentiments in the platform,
or, rather, in the majority report, which will
doubtless be adopted. 1t declares for free sill
ver 16 to I, and for the issuance of all money
by the government without the Intervention OF
banks. We shall not give the report this week,
but will give it next week. in our local edition
only, as adopted by the convention.
No nominations have yet been made. For a
time, it appeared that Bland was sure of it, but
he now appears to be losing ground, while
Bryan stock is advancing. However, the
chairman of the convention predicts that
dark horse will be nominated. 1t is doubtful
if nomination will be made this week.
LATER.-Balloting has commenced. Bland
is slightly in the lead; Bryan follows close.

THE reports of the Mckinley ratification
which were sent out from Garrett are truly
amusing. Of course, these reports were meant
to deceive the outside world and make the peO-
pie believe it was grand affair." The state
1nent that there was great outpourlng OF peo-
pie from all over the county was barefaced
lie. About an hour before the opening of the
performance, there were just eight teams
htched about the square, and six or seven
more teams were added before the meeting
closed. We are told ,son good authority, that
the committee had a hard time to raise the SIS
demanded by the band; that only $Ia.5o had
been raised by night, but the band boys would
not play till the full amount was raised, so the
committee had to dig up the other ST. so. 1t
was necessary to dispense with the proposed
fireworks because there was no money to pay
for 'em. tS-s-so they say"

ADVICE REPEATED.

particularly hazardous enterprise, he importunes
the throne of grace through Mahomed the
prophet If particular inspiration is wanted in
search for an office, go to the pages of the To-
peka Capital for strength. No paper in Kan
sas like the Capital for both Goodness and
responsibility Owned by Banker Mulvane
and run in the interest of Banker Business
Redeemer Morrill,, it is away up in the councils
OF Kansas Republicans. True to the faithful
and anxious for the wavering, it may be said
to pass months of ceaseess toil-and all for
the good and glory of the Kansas farmer and
workingman. No such disinterested effort
since Arnold resigned generals commission
IN Washngton's army for similar commission
IN the British army. Just now, the Capital is
passing prayerful days and sleepess nights
over the disafection of free-silver Republicans,
and its exhortations would do credit to Meth
odist exhorter in his impassioned appeals to
backsders
We are with the Capital, tooth and toe-na.
Free silver has no prophet but Telle. And
who is Teller? Does Teller compare with the
Rothschilds, Mark Hanna and Mckinley? Not
much The Rothschilds run their ancestry
back to Aaron, who made golden calf four
thousand years ago. while Teller is only a SEN
ator from the rocks and plains of Colorado.
Surely, no good Republican will desert ban
mel that has proudly hoated for centuries, and
has humbled thrones and overthrown dynasties.
He cannot.
We repeat the advice of the Capital to free
silver Republicans. Don't get your back up
like mad cat, and say cuss words for it may
be that the dishonest and generally cussed
Populists and the matchessly incompetent
Democrats might enter into compact to set
up new prophet and unfurl banner whose
motto will be "America for Americans, instead
stead of the foreign money-lenders, and pros
perty for the masses"
Can you, dear Republican friend, march un-
der silver flag with Sockess Jerry's dusty
ankles in plain view, and PETERS beard waving
in the wind? Never! Can you, dear Repub-
ican siverte, be so cruel to the noble Roths-
chids as to shut them off from market for
their gold in our government bonds and in
various other kinds of bonds? Forgive the
thought, dear Rothschild Can you, dear free
silver Republicans, turn the Offices of this great
country over to mass of iiterate mavericks,
when our dear old party has all the brains in
this world and most Of the moralsa Never!
never! never! Then stand fast, vote Ter
straight, and wear blue overalls, with hagging
for outside additions.
Such is the gist of the Capital exhortation,
and the excho will be found in every little one
horse redeemer sheet in the state.

GEORGE R. PECK, formerly attorney for the

Ex-Governor ST. JOHN spoke at Marshall

spoke at Dodge City, Iowa, on the same day.
The committee al Dodge City paid Jerry two
hundred silver dollars for his speech. Jerry
asked if the committee was composed of Re
publicans, and when assured that all were Re-
publicans, he asked if they were going to pay
him in Gfty-cent dollars After hearty laugh
all around, the committee offered to relieve him
of his silver load, but Jerry poured the big
round dollars into his grip" saying they
were good enough for him.

THAT CHICKENS often come home to roost
and when least expected, too, is once more
proven in the case of Governor Boies, who
thought he was proving his loyalty and placing
his name in history when he approved of Cleye-
lands action in sending United States troops
to Chicago to shoot hungry men, women and
children. The resolutions recently adopted by
the Building Trades Council speaks right out.
They are, however, but sample of the feeling
all over the country, wherever there are work
ing men who have the courage of their convic-
lions and who dare call their souls their own.
There was a time when the overt acts of public
officials were forgiven by the people after
short space of silence and sudden declartion
in favor of the masses. The masses, however,
have learned by dear experience that change
of words does not necessarily mean change Of
heart, and they have come to Judge men by
their acts; they have learned that causes pro-
duce results, and are responsible for them, and
few hQnied words and verbal promises have
not the force ,}oW they once did. Men who
seek public honors are carefully watched now
