Jul Lady
miss Olive Optic" Favors The Pop
ular Paper With Another
Letter From Gotham. ,

Some summers ago, during q visit to
Atlanta, Ga, | strayed upon the novel,
.'In Gods Country" have never
since happened on a criticism Of same
nor met with anyone who had read it.
AS l put IL down with regret at the
time, l felt that some day it would be
drama,izsd. 1t was o simple tale,
powerfully told. Such q pretty love
storyl Hero, heroine, time and place,
after ones owl heart.
We we're late for a performance at
the Fifth avenue. The curtain had
risen and the Introductory lines spoken
What was this familiar in the sceneP
/ To- ked at the programme and sur
enough the head lines read: "a
Sout ra Romance; dram tized from
D"iy Higbes' powerful novel, In
Gods Country"
Inc plot is laid In the Blue grass
state with all the accessories-fne
horses and mint julep A beautiful
girl accepts an offer Of marriage from
a young man-hitherto regarding az a
compaDi n-bt cause of the wish of her
dearly beloved father who sees In the
wealthy lover a son Of q lifelong
friend and whose offer is opportune ;
for the estate is heavily involved-no
retr.nchment from ~ante-beIlum daye
had been thought Of. The estate
(Which adj lined his OWN had been the
amolelon Of the young mao as we'll as
the girl thrown in.
There comes a tramp Who receives
his morsel with courtly foreign grace
and in return charms the girl with a
serenade on the guitar. The father
meets him going, and being 10 need of
a gardener, returns with him.
He Is the butt of the colored folk
who dub him aswhite trash" and
'sw bite slave" Is recognized by the
French supervisor who is commanded
to silence.
The action progresses with beautiful
episodes-true in detail to the habits
OF The country. Then comes the cruel
truth to the supposed gardener Of the
glrl's engagement. He decides to re
turn to his native heath. The parting
scene reveals her affection for her
slave,n as he terms it. They
are surprised by the appearance OF her
Aft anced husband, who retires with
in his eye. She begs her be-
loved gardener TO fy for his life. He
he will stay and forfeit it
than leave her. She suddenly
decides to go with him. They are
pursued, he is wounded, and she is led
home on q white charger by the out
ragged father.
The nuvel ends with the death Of the
glri by nneuus U dagger furd iu nrr
room by the father In sugges
ton. This telling point is not drama
tized, and the play ends with forgive
ness by the fa'her, the return Of the
supposedly deadly wounded lover who
proves his identity and makes a oun
tess of the faithful girl.

.yiucent's Nonconfor M ISL"

1t Is genuine pleasure to us to inform our
readers that the American Nonc1nformst at
indianapolis, Ind, is again owned and edited
bv one of the "Vncent boys that made it
such power for good in the campaigns OF 1888
r. 400. In the latter year, in the panic, the
naper was bought by Mr. Templeton, at one
time Populist candidate for governor of In
diana, and is now repurchased by Prof {. Vim
cent. It has the old snap and vim that made
f SO popular in every state in the union, and
in addition to being one of the very best papers
anv populist can have, either for home use or
for propaganda work, 1t has added most COM
nlete and we'll edited News and Family De-
nartment, and it gives the latest and most COM
plete market reports by telegraph up to the
hour of going to press. These departments
will give it a decided advantage in the race tor
subscribers in every part of the country We
most heartily recommend the New Noncen asa
thoroughly up-to-date, vigorous, true.bue Pop
Mist national newspaper that news to the line
Of the St. Louis platform and treats courteous
" those who may differ in opinion as to methods
to be employed. Its "People's Forum and

KNIFED.

We've been knitted. 1--WE" means the senior
editor of this paper.
Wednesday was our 41st birthday, and we
received small package through the postofiice
The "devil" said it was an "infernal machine, y
SO we removed the wrapper very carefully
Our fears were groundless, however, for, upon
removing the wrapper, we found MOROCCO
case, and in the case was beautiful three
blade pocket-knife. On one side of the handle
is this inscription John P. St: John, Prohi'
bition leader, Olathe, KAN, and on the other
side are two miniature portraits-one OF the
old Prohibition war-horse, Ex-Governor ST.
John, and the other of the ''Kansas cyclone, -"
Van Bennett.
The next mail brought the following letter:
OLATHE, Jan. 20, 81.
My DEAR CHAMPE: You have reached ma
ture years-od enough at least, to be trusted
with a jack knife. Therefore, please accept
the one sent you to-day as small birthday
souvenir. Let your motto be, "lf you don't
want to be cut, cut from YOU
With my love and heartiest congratulations
Ever your friend,
JOHN P. ST.. JOHN.
We have not words to express our apprecia-
ton of the gift and the spirit which prompted
it. We shall never part with it. but shall prize
it doubly because it will always remind us of
the brave old man who has spent his life in do
ing good to others, and who has borne Islander,
vituperation and persecution for principles
sake. May he live many more years, and may
he reap the reward OF Well-spent life.

PETER IS DEFEATED.
COL. HARRIS THE CAUCUS NOMINEE.

The two houses of the legislature met in
caucus, Wednesday night, to select candidate
for United States senator Senator PETER led
on the first three ballots but after the fourth
ballot he lost On the twenty-third ballot,
Col. w. A. Harris, Senator L. P. King and
Hon. Ed c. Little were the leading candidates
in the race. The caucus then adjourned till
Thursday night, when the balloting was re-
sumed. On the thirty-thfrd ballot, Col. Harris
had 81 votes. Fifty-four votes being necessary
to choice, Col Harris was declared the NOM
inee This settles the matter. Next Tues
days election will only be matter of form.
The result of the caucus is disappointment
to us, and we believe it is disappointment to
seventy-fve per cent. of the Populists of the
state There is not the shadow of a doubt
that large majority wanted Senator PETER le-
turned to the senate. Not only was he the
choice of the Populists, but those of all parties
who recognize and appreciate true worth, abil-
ity, honor, integrity and fitness wanted to see
PETER reelected. His defeat was a mistake.
COL Harris also has ability, and his term in
congress better fits him for the position of senat
or, probably, than any of the other candidates.
While we do not admire Col. Harris, and never
did, we recognize his ability, and, taking INFO
consideration his record i'll congress, we do not
doubt that he will make creditable record in
the senate We shall not crticise him until
we have reason for so doing.
Some objected to Senator PETERS reelection
because he has been in the senate six years,
and "t,at is long enough for one man. Now
that the legislature has ''set the pace, let the
rule be enforced hereafter-let Senator Harris
step down, without murinur, six years hence.
Senator PETER and his friends have nothing
TO be ashamed Of. He will retire with clean
record, both public and private. There is not
blot upon the pages of the history of his ca
reer-no breath of scandal Of any kind. He
is the per;on6cation of honor, and he will re-
turn home loved and llonored Of all men.

A Cause of Crime.

A well-known economic writer says:
Gin case of unemployment the injury from
habits which result from idleness and loss OF
sef.support by honest men.is far-reaching.
Among these habits may be mentioned loung-
ing, drinking, and, perhaps, tramping and
thieving, and the lethargy, dependency and
recklessness which follow more or less the loss
of employment and loss of purchasing power. "
lust now in common with the other large
cities of the country, Philadelphia sexperenc-
ing marked increase in bold assaults upon the
highways and other forms of crime. In many
instances the culprits are found to- be men drlv-
Ell to desperation by poverty, and the lack OF
employment.
While poverty is no excuse for crime, it is
really criminal carelessness for those charged
with making laws for the nation, to continue
policy which throws many out of work, and
eventually drives some of them to crime

KANSAS WON'T SECEDE.

So, stranger, you're from way daown Eas

En- du they still fill in with rocks
Tu balance up the sack?
An du they still burn witches thar
AM fine man on Monday
Because he did kindly deed,
En- kissed his wife, on Sunda>2
How many folks are out NV work?
How many out NV feed?
An du your people rally think
That Kansas will secede?

Kansas amt built that way.
When she give Uncle Sam her hand,
She put il thar tn stay.
An when her fearless pioneers,
Back in an airly day,
Druv border ruffians frum the state,
They druv 'em out tn stay.
An when Abe Lincoln called fur troops,
She sent 'em thick an fast.
She got thar airly, an she staid
Until the very last.
Now, when she kicks on syndercate
An trust an railroad rule,

But when we've shaved yer lives away
