Take your pumpkin when its rippned,
Cut in strips, stew soft as silk;
When it's done you add the spices,
And be generous with the milk;
Have deep pan, with rich crust covered,
Pour it thick, twill stand no loss,
Bake it gently. and when ready,
IT'S of all the pies the boss.
Hail thou golden, iowly pumpkin,
Generous praise to thee ! sing;
Made in pies you are morse
Fit to grace the board of king;
have tried the squash and custard
And all others, but | toss
Them to one side and crown you only,
Pie that truly is the boss.

the Italian idea of cutting holes in the sails
to make them draw better. He tried it
faithfully, he says, on the voyage from
England to Psagua and as result gives
his advice to mariners who think of try

that will set fiat and shipshape is, he says,
better than anything with hole in it,
and unless sail is baggy there is no use
in having a hole in it.

1T pains US to notice that we have
again offended FARMER AxIine. Some
time since and upon several different
occasions we made mention of the fact
that the "wave of prosperity which
followed so closely after Mckinley
election enabled our farmer-editor. poll
tlclan friend to pay seventy-five cents
per day for the labor of a man and team
and it was with considerable regret on
our part that we found upon reading the
Cresset of last week that the honorable
gentleman in question read our com
ment in different spirit and tempera-
ment than that i'll which it was written
and published. Now we did not wish
to parade oul farmer sound money
protectionist before the world as a Pc
nurious, misery makeshift; far from it,.
We give him credit for having paid as
much as the average farmer can afford
to pay for labor of that kind in such
"proserous" times as these. But the
point We wished to impress upon his
mind was that if such prices are the
fruits of Mckinley prosperity why
then may the good Lord forever deliver
us from this particular brand. We
have spent ten long years farming in
Kansas under 1.-THE good republican
times" and we know great deal better
than our beloved Luther that 1t requires
some considerable scheming to make
both ends meet. We know as we'll as
anybody that a farmer can't raise corn
for 10 and II cents per bushel and pay
much for harvesting it; In fact we can
scarcely see how he can afford to
hire it gathered at all, but we do regis
ter monstrous kick of the muleish
kind when an editor boasts of the ar
rival of prosperity when the products of
his own farm do not sell for sufficient
money to enable him to pay living pric-
es to those whom he employs in con-
Quoting his business. Now we are tru-
ly sorry that this little business trans
action should have given our editorial
brother so much restlessness, even to the
extent that Burke was left without shell
ter in theCresset columns for two weeks,
but we sincerely hope that we have made
ourselves plain. Seventy-five cents is
all that a farmer can afford to pay for a
man andteam in winter work but l2cents
a bushel is just about one fourth of what
a farmer should have for his corn. But
all those who prefer the former condi-
ton to the latter can just go on voting
for Mckinley. sound money, protection,
prosperity and 81 cents day. If we
die in the poor house we shall be con-
soled by the fact that we win have lots
of company and there will be lots of re-
publicans in the procession.

FROM SENATOR KYLE.

The following letter from Senator
Kyle, of South Dakota, shows how Sem
ator PETER stands among his fellow
Populist senators. Read it and see
what man who has worked in the re-
torn struggle for six years has to say
of him:
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Mr. G. w. Nc
Kay, Anthony, Kans., My Dear Sir:
do not wish to interfere in any matters
outside my own state, yet cannot re-
sist the temptation to say word In be-
half of Senator PETER, who is a candj-
date for re- election. | know his natur-
al modesty, and 1t is only by the great
est urging that he can be induced to do
anything for himself. Only yesterday
urged him, strongly. to return to Kan
sas DUNG the contest, but he will not
even promise to do that. He feels that
his friends Will eok after his interests.
and that his constituents know both
him and his record. This may be true.
yet the presence of man during a con-
test has much to strengthen those who
are working for him.
l have known Senator PETER now for
six years, intimately, and cannot say
too much in his interest as an honorable
man and christian gentleman. Few
better men have ever occupied seats in
the United States Senate, and in my
Judgment 1T would be a mistake for
Kansas to retire him at this critical per-
lod of our reform struggle. AS you
know. the customs of our body require
a man to serve one term before he is al
lowed important places on committees
and therefore, Senator PETER will be in
better shape to do work for his state
and the country during the next term.
[ hope, therefore, that the legislators
elect will do the right thing and return
him. am, very truly yours.
JAMES III. KYLE.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1897-01-06

IT is with regret that we notice q few
Populist papers, here and there, casting
insinuations against the personal char
acter and ability of Senator PETER. A
newspaper or individual has at all
times the right to express choice for a
public officer but neither has a right to
assail man without some proof for
assertions. Senator PETER has proven
himself able, industrious and honorable
and any attempt to stigmatize him in
any manner should not be tolerated.
The INDEX is for PETER but it has nev-
er said word against other candidates.
Let the contest be conducted respect
fully and fairly, and above all else, let
everybody keep within the bounds of
truth and decency.

THE LEGISLATURE.
IT WILL COST ONLY a CENT A CALEN-
OAR DAY TO KEEP FULLY INFORM
I'D OF ALL ITS DOINGs.


The approaching legislative session
will be lively and interesting one.
The Topeka Daily State Journal will
publish full, fair and readable reports
maintaining the papers wide reputa-
ton for fairness and the publication of
the news.
The legislative reports will be but
one of the many features of the State
Journal, which gives the Associated
Press teIegraDhic, state, local, railroad
and general happenings, including
much news which never occurs in any
one other Kansas paper.
A new state administration always
furnishes incidents and facts which all
are anxious to read about.
Ninety cents sent now to the State
Journal. Topeka, or paid to one of It's
authorized travelling agents, will secure
the daily EDITION, if sent by mail, for
three months, lie. ninety days for nine
,ty cents Tnn will cover the entire
legislative sesyea and aDoat tlfsssty DAYS
besides, partly before and partly after
the Legislature.
Wherever the Journal has a carrier
system the daily will be delivered for
ten cents a week.
The State Journal is an eight pape
daily newspaper and has the most CON-
plete and best equipped plant, machin-
cry and building in the state.

THERE are a lot of polite
ians in congress who seem to
be lacking in plain ordinary,
American horse sense. The
country is suffering from
business depression. Fail
ures and suicides crowd the
daily papers. Everybody adj
mits that there is something
seriously wrong. Before the
election the promise was
made that as soon as congress
convened there would be a
change of tariff laws in the
interest of American indus
tries. What has congress
done? Nothing. but make
buncembe speeches. 1t has no
more regard for campaign
promises than fora last years
birds nest. The people are
disguised with broken prom
ises. What congress needs
to do is to recover from it's fit
of Mysteries over the affairs
of other nations and get
down to plain, practical bust
ness sense in the interest of
the American people. Atch-
ison Champion. Rep.

HE Emporia Gazette is the author
of late editorial giving garbed ex.
tracts from speeches of prominent Pop
ulist leaders. Among them is a quota
ton credited to Jerry Simpson, as fol-
lows:
The men in my district are selling their
honor, the women their virtue and children
are begging for bread"
These are not Mr.. Simpsons words.
1t is a garbled quotation and amounts
to nothing more than rank lie. In re-
ferrlng to large cities of the country
simpson used language similar to this
in speaking of the condition of some of
the people-a condition which even re-
publicans must know do exist. We de-
fy any republican editor in the state to
point out an instance wherein a Popu-
list has slandered the state in any man
ner, but garbled and false quotations
don't go. Quote Populist congressman
and senators as they are quoted in the
congress ional record.

WE are inclined to think that too
many of the Populist papers are paying
too much attention to Jake Coxey's ex-
it. If Jake thinks he can DO better in a
party of his own, that is his privilege.
For our part we would rather remain
with party which premises to break
asunder the shackles which bind the
American people into subsection at the
signal of the money power, even if the
policy OF; that party is different in some
respects to our jupgment. than to give
aid and comfort to the enemies of the
masses. The Peoples party is composed
of many minds and it will not do for
one man to become a dictator. AS a
parting salute TO Jacob we want to
warn him to be very careful to.keep off
the grass because he has turned a cold
shoulder to his Populist friends and
prison walls are very poor company.

BREAKERS AHEAD.

Waterman, what of the night?n
AS ProcrastlnatiOn is the thief of time.
SO are Confusion and Strife the wreck
ers of human liberty. The DESTINY of a
nation Is at stake; the people them
selves must save the grand old Ship of
State or she will down to ruin. The
mass of people-the majority of them
are agreed as to the cause of social en-
barrassment and distress, they must
agree on remedy and strive for the
supremacy unitedly or the Republic
will be doomed. CONSERVATION. preju
dice and party pride are dangerous ele-
ments IN the battle for equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
There is no name so sacred, no party
appellation so eudearing that it should
not be crushed forever when corruption.
fraud and injustice are committed un-
der its banner. When we think of
Washington we are a F'ederalist, when
we think of Jefferson we are a Demo
crat, when we think of the Immortal
Lincoln we are a republican,; but when
we think of Cleveland and of Mckinley
we are forced to part company with
both of the once grand, but now per-
nicious, political parties. We are forced
to seek refuge in party organization
which stands for Jeffersonian democ
racy and Lincolnian republlcanism and
we find it in the Populist party. But if
we could see the principles advocated
by our party enacted into law,
under some other partJ name,
we would be among the first to propose
a change. 1t the control of the curren-
| cy were taken from the banks and re-
stored to the government where 1t
rightfully belongs, the circulating med
ium enlarged and freely distributed
among the people consistent with the
| population of the country, if combines
| and trusts were restrained and kept
within reasonable bounds, we would
say amen, be it done under whatever
banner 1t might.
The American people are the most
intelligent people on the face of the
earth but too many are prone to be
welded to pet names, pet hobbies and
pet isms. If the reform forces cannot
be amalgamated under certain party
name, change to one under which all
can go to work harmoniously, but let
us not attempt to bind the elements
with single tender shred. The ills
| under which the industrial forces OF
the country are suffering do not spring
from single cause, do not emanate
from single source. The causes are
many and the consequent results are
sweeping and powerful. The skilled
and competent physician will prescribe
according to the nature of the disease;
If the disorder is radical the treatment
must be radical. So the remedy, ia
tioDalty speaking, if we have remedy
must be far-reaching enough to over.

useless to attempt to reclaim the gov

minor affairs when there is SO much tc

strength, in division there is nothing

tentment, and let the name of the par.

achieved be nothing more than a pri
