FAR FAR AWAY.
A NEW SONG.

n NEW oONp.
Who're, oh. where, has confidence gone.
Far, far away.
Twas promised in chunks by the ton,
Far, far away.

Mark Hanna sworc it was no lie.
Now Wall street points us up to the sky.
Far, far away.
Where, oh, where, did prosperity goy
Far, far away.
Is the thing we would all like to know,
Far, far away.
The banks they are bursting by the
score,
Wages are lower than ever before,
And prosperity is on the other shore.
Far, far away.
Where, oh, where, can we find the goldy
Far, far away.
Srwould make us all rich we were told,
Far, far away.
They said it would como and start the
mill,
Hard times and poverty it would kill,
But it never came close than Wall

Far, far away.
Where, oh where can those Jobs be
found?
Far. far away.
That labor was to get if money was
sound.
Far, far away.
About those jobs they told us lie,
The only job is Mckinley pie,
For now they are winking the other
eye,
Far far away.
In nineteen hundred where will they
be?
Far, far away.
From an outraged people they'll have
to flee,
Far far away.
With Wall street promises we'll not be
caught,
The voters with Bryan will cast their
lot.
And send gold bugs where the climate
is hot,
Far far away.

A Lady in Distress.

The following is true Masonic
incident that occurred in New Or
leans, and was written by the late
Rev. James A Clement, of Rome,
Ga, short time prior to his death {:
1t was just before the late civil
war that n man whom we will call
John Smith, o man in quite common
circumstances in life, sold out his
small effects of worldly goods in
Georgia. and left his native heath
with his wife and two children, and
took up his march by private con
veyance to end home in the far
distant State of Texas, which was
then considered the grand FL Dora
do of the United States.
Arriving at New Orleans, he was
taken sick, and after quite a severe
spell OF illness, died, leaving bis fam
ily in destitute condition among
strangers, in strange land.
What was she to do? How could
she approach strangers with any con

Christianity might cause her to bt

she had never tested it, she deter

bad been Mason iu his lifetime and
she had taken "The Master Mason's

AN anonymous friend sends us
u clipping OF an interview with
Senator Hill in which it is stated
that Bryan is politically dead. We
are under many obligations to our
friend, whoever he may be for his
evident desire to lead us from the
evil of our way, but as Senator
Hill is neither Il prophet nor the
son OF u prophet, we do not think
his views on the subject amount to
any more than those of other gen.
tlemen who think the reverse. We
are for w. j. Bryan Gf living) for
President in 1900, no matter what
party may nominate him, as we
believe he represents tho peoples
interests, and rs we are of aud for
the people first, last aud all the
time, we mean 10 stand by the
ticket that floats at the head of
our editorial column, orr anony-
neus friend and Senator Hill to
the contrary, notwithstanding.
FROM what we cnu hear il would
seem that the Republicans are
trying to prepare surprise party
for the Democrats at the next
State election. 1t is their purpose
to spring General Fitzhugh Lee on
us as a Republican candidate for
Governor, but whether that gen
tleman would permit his name to
be used by that party, we do not
know. The name of Lee has al.
ways been a power in the State of
Vlrgina-and for that matter
Throughout the South-hut we do
not believe the people of this State
would go back on the Democratic
party for The sake of General Lee.
and it is probable that lie would
not accept the nomination were it
rendered him. The friends of Gen.
Lee throughout the State would
be sorry to see him Join hands
with few thousand disgruntled
Democrats in their efforts to de.
stroy the party winch has been EN-.
tirely too kind to them, but if he
should, it is the duty of every
Democrat to stand by the nomi-
nee OF his party and defeat the
Republican ticket, no matter if
1t should have ut IT'S head the
name of fitzhugh Lee. But we
do not think the Democrats of
Virginia will he called upon TO
vote against Gen. Lee.

BRO. TRIGG is terribly wrought up state
ment in the Kansas City papers, copied by the
AGIrAToR to the effect that under the new city
administration Garrett joints will run wide open.
AS usual he reproduces the Republican argu-
ment cts lie." He says the man who sent
the dispatch, and "Champe" both knew it was
untrue. We beg pardon, Bro. Trigg, there is
where you mistook. Even you don't know it,
though of course you think you do, because
you imagine you know everything which would
incidentally include foreknowledge of all UNI
certainties We are not gifted with second
sight like our esteemed contemporary, but we
would wager dollars to doughnuts that there
will never be all hour during the life of the in
coming city administration when joints will
not be running full blast in Garrett, just as
they have always always done under every Re-
publican city administration that we ever had.
The agrieved spirit in which our brother re-
peatedly charges us with untiuthfnlness ind-
Gates that he fears we are trespassing upon
grounds hitherto recognized to be almost wholly
his own. Don't get Mysteries friend Trigg.
We do not intend to abridge your privileges.
We will not crowd you off of the ground where
you have scored your most brilliant success
We would not steal one jewel from the crown
that decorates your brow as the most colossal
editorial liar in the state of Kansas. You can
have the field aud enjoy your honors unmolested
by the AGITARoR, SO don't be jealous, and do
quit your old womanish scolding. We know
you're sore from scalp-lock to toe-nals We
know your sentiments, if you have any, are
outraged, and have always been by the double
dealing and hypocracy Of the city bosses, and
we know that you dare not lift your voice III
protest if you wished to for political reasons.
You say the Republican ticket was pledged
to the enforcement of the prohibitory law.
Certainly, it always is, and to the protection of
Joints ALSO In conclusion you tell your read
ers that we ''are full of prunes" forgetting to
say that the editor of the Eagle is full of what
the proverbial small dog delights to stuff on.

Business is Business.

The North and West tells how at rece mt
meeting of the Liquor League of Ohio one OF
the officers delivered an address in which he
gave utterance to the following remarkable
language. He said
The success of our business is dependent
largely upon the creation of appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor like others, will die, and
if there is no new appetite created our counters
will be empty, as will be our Golfers. After
men have grown and their habits are formed
they rarely ever change in this regard. 1t will
be needful therefore, that missionary work be
done among the boys, and l make the sugges-
ton, gentlemen, that nickels expended in treats
to tire boys now will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been formed Above
all things, create appetite
Can it be possible there lives man who
could make such statement /? Well, it is the
business If the appetite cannot be created
in the rising generation, the business fails.
What business, that depends upon the Gre
alton of the drink appetite. Issues.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Republicans are Growing over the tact that
boodlers were plenty in and around the last
Kansas legislature
That was because the monopolies and trusts
were endangered and they were willing to pay
literally to be let out on the old basis that had
been established for them 'scott Free by Re-
publican legislatures. They did not have to
buy Republicans. All that was necessary was
to whistle and they camc, ready to do the bid
ding of their masters. All these combinations
of organized greed claim when brought to testl-
fv relative to their business that they only just
live, or are running behind, but the corruption
fund is never exhausted
ANY individual or association who has made
enough Money off the public to be able to buy
officers or lie gislatures and makes the attempt,
should be set down as prosperous-too prosper
to point where only legitimate business will
be done.
The people are aroused. Corporations, bride
eivers and bribe-t takers may we'll treinble be-
fore the wrath to come
The exposure shows that the Populists in
tended to uncover corruption i'll their own par
twas we'll as in any other. There is no par
tiality. Republican investigating committees
use only the white-wash br ush Popuists
probe the rotten places to the core.
Let the good work go on.

The Devil and the Methodist Preacher.

Sometime ago Methodist preacher on his
way to camp meeting stopped to rest his horse
and eat his lunch in the valley short distance
from the camp ground, yet quite mountain
hid it from view
While the preacher was medtating on the
expecred blessings of the meeting, his satanic
majesty appeared before him and claimed the
preacher as his subject and at the same time
charged him with lying about him.
The preacher asked for the evidence and was
told that he preached that the devil had no
power.
Now, before send you off, will give you
three chances to clear yourself of showing my
power.
Well said the parson, remove this mountain
that may see the camp ground. No
said than done.
He then asked another difficult problem,
which was also done, and the poor preacher

SPEAKING of some change of teachers at the
agricultural college whereby a few Republicans
lose thir places at the public crib the Eagle
hops up to vociferate that Gin order to have
lob as teacher now in Kansas it is more neces-
ssrv TO have whiskers and loud-smelling feet
than it is to have intellect. The intimate
knowledge the editor of the Eagle displays re-
Sarding subjects that clearly people are not
sunposed to be familiar with is trifle sug-
sestive but let that pass. What we wish to
impress upon the Eagle is that when great
party is overthrown by au aggregation OF
crauks and idiots there must be something
wrong with the party. If the editor OF the
Eagle had been everlastingly thrashed
and knocked to pieces he would not be proud
20 parade the fact that it was done by weak
lunged, one-legged, glass-eyed, three-hngered
dwarf, with hump on his back and badly
a;seased liver. If Bro. Trigg should get badly
worsted in an intellectual bout, would he pub
l;sh to the world that it was done by "a driv'ing
idiot? If so wouldn't the question naturally
arise "What is the matter with Trigg ~ AS
an innividual so with party If Populists are
fhe kind of trash he holds them up to be, what
&c the matter with Kansas Republicans How
did they come to be wiped off the earthly that
sort of an outfit :? Again the above quotation
shows how the G. o. p. stands up tor Kansas
Because few Republican pay-suckers are de-
cap;tated the s'moulders of public sentiment"
Aood the East with such rot as we quote from

rex with it, yet when the Eastern press speaks
d;soaringly of Kansas we are told that the Pops
