Every woman looks forwards with
feelings Of indescribable joy to the one
event in her life, compared with which
al others pale into iDsigni6cance. How
proud and happy she will be when her
precious babe Destles on her breast
how sweet the name of mother" And
yet her happy anticipation is clouded
with dread of the pain and danger of
the ordeal, so that it is impossible to
avoid the feeling OF constant fear. The
danger and suffering attendant upon
being mother can be entirely pre-
vented, so that the coming Of the little
stranger need nst be looked forward to
with fear and trembling. Every wo-

the New York delegation to the Demo

WILLING TO LOAN TO A CHRISTIAN.

A few days ago the Emporia, Kan
Gazette printed this burlesque lad.
which might appear in the Rev. Mr.
Sheldon's Christian daily.
"Wanted-A Christian man wants
money to invest Will guarantee q
per cent. per month. No chance to lose
as everything will be managed by
Christians. Address Brother Bolten
this office"
The editor had no idea that anybody
would take it seriously. but a widow
saw it and answered it. A reporter
called on her and found that she &C
tualIy had 5000 to lend to a gooc
Christian, who must have certificate
from his pastor that he attends church
and prayer meeting regularly. She ask

The question, which is the most
profitable crop for the farmers to raise
corn or wheat, is being discussed in
some quarters The consensus of opin-
not seems to favor wheat as not only
producing more money to the acre but
as being cheaper to produce, IN other
words than 81 900 worth Of wheat can
be raised with less labor and expense
than $1,000 worth Of corn = Harrods-

Born Senator Blackburn and Mr..
Watterson, who are in Washington, say
in interviews that the election law
should be amended so as to take even a
suspicion of partisanship from it. We
believe ourselves that the passage OF
the law was unnecessary and said so
when it was before the Legislature, but
after it was made part of the Demo-
cratic platform and was given the seal
OF constitutiOnality by the Appellate
court, We accepted 1t both as a Demo-
cratic and State law and argued that il
is not half so bad as its enemies con-
tend. Ignorance of its provisions, for
not one man in 100 ever read the law,
and its abuse by two-fOr-a-nickle spell
binders, cost us many votes in Novem-
Der and signally failed to accomplish
what the Republicans claimed it was
Tor. We should personally prefer that
it should remain the law, since Gov.
Goebel permitted his name to be given
to it, though at the same time doubt
ing, it is said. the propriety of its pass
age, but if it is to be stumbling block
in the way Of the Democrats, in the
future as in the past, it will be better
perhaps. to amend it so that no charge
of partisanship can attach to it. Ken
lucky is Democratic without a so-called
counting machine.-Stanford Journal.

is he A ~LITTLE AMERIcAN7s REPUBLI.
CANS WILL PLEASE ANSWER

Some time agO-and not so very lorg
ago, either-a man who has been hailed
as great statesman by a great party
and accorded high honors in this coun-
try, said:
The United States has no desire for
war or conquest. Their attitude is linn
tied outside their own boundaries to
the safeguarding OF liberty. Our writ
ten constitution is so constructed that
no act of the party in power can be-
come an actuality without the consent
of the people, and the people are peace
full, industrious and opposed to new
ventures. America wishes to grow by
the expansion of her commerce, by ex-
porting her products, and not by force
OF arms America would have well
coined an arrangement which would
have assured the island CUBA liber-
al aud just government under the con-
troll of spain. For our true position,
repeat, is to guarantee the liberty of
the people, but not to dictate their
laws"
Had the author of the above uttered
those words in 1889, or in 1891, he would
have been hailed by his party leaders
as an able expounder of the greatest
document ever penned to guarantee the
liberty of people. But he did not ut
ter them until a later date. Now the
leaders of the party to which he be-
longs, which party has signally hon
ored him, denounce such language as
the language of little American"
the language OF a "copperhead." the
maunderings OF ''Tagal" Such senti-
ments are denounced in unmeasured
terms by greater statesmen of his party
statesmen like Hay. Day, Quay,
Platt, Grosvenor, Hanna, EIkins, Bever-
idge, Griggs, Gage, Smith and Root.
The above words were uttered in
Paris in 1898. The hlan who uttered
them is Benjamin Harrison, ex-Presi-
dent of the United States.

An Indianapolis special sSys that
local Democrats who attended the
meeting of the National Democratic
Committee say that Mr.. Bryan will not
make a personal canvass when he is
re-nominated for President, such as he
made in 1895, and that he will confine
his speech making to delegations which
may visit him at his home in London,
Nebraska. The reason advanced is
that Mr.. Bryan having voiced his views
ON all questions that will obtain in the
coming campaign, both in the East and
West, there will be no necessity for his
appearance as speaker, besides which
some of Bryan's advisers feel that there
is popular prejudice against Presi'
dental candidate making canvass Of
the country.

THE KENTUCKY STOCK FARM.

The stock Of the Kentucky Stool
Farm Publishing Company, has beef
purchased by Mr.. Desha Bleckinridg
and the company having been reorgan
lied. plans for the improvement of th'
American Stock Farm have been ma
tured by him by which it will become
even more factor in the advance
ment of the interest OF the light harnes
horse.
While the American Stock Farm ha,
been, and will continue 10 be, in th'
scope Of it's news and breadth OF its edi
torials. a national journal, it is mos
distinctively representative of the trot
ting and pacing horse, the home o
which is Kentucky. The name OF thu
paper will be changed from the Ameri
can Stock Farm to the Kentucky
Stock Farm, under which name it was
previously known-and secured repu
tation not bounded by the limits of the
United States
Under the new management Judge
Irving HaIsey, who is one of the best
known writers on all subjects pertain
ing to the breeding, rearing and train
ing of the light harness horse, will be
in charge of the editorial columns. This
is a guarantee that the editorial col
umns of the Kentucky Stock Farm
will be conducted on the brOadest and
wisest lines, and will be benefit to
every man interested in any branch OF
the horse industry.
Mr.. Frank Kenney, who was Secre-
tary of the Louisville Trotting Associa-
ton. will be in charge ofthe Kentucky
Stock Farm Purses and the advertising
columns of the paper, and will aid in
gathering news for the columns Of the
Stock Farm. He will devote to it his
entire time the coming year. Mr.. Ken
ney is one Of the most widely known
and most popular OF the younger gener-
alton of horsemen, and takes to the
Stock Farm an acquaintance with all
the horsemen and fervid love and in
terest in the trOtting horse itself. Mr..
Kenney will be assisted by Mr.. S. A.
Smith, who is one of the most active
and ablest of the younger generation OF
newspaper men in Kentucky, who has
heretofore devoted himself to the daily
field.
Mr.. w. w. Smith will remain, as he
has been for the past six years, man
aging editor of the news department u
the paper, and, with the able assistance
of Mr.. S. A. Smith and Mr.. Kenney,
will encrease and give added value to
those columns.
The services of Mr.. S. A. Northcutt,
who for The past six years has been
Secretary of the Winchester Building
and Loan Association, has been Sc
cured as book-keeper and business
manager.
Now that the feeling among the
horsemen is one of great encourage
ment and signs point to the revival of
that prosperity which was regnant from
1888 to 1898, the Kentucky Stock Farm
with the push and energy that will be
put back Of it, and addition OF the able
men who have assumed control and
will devote their whole time to it, is as
sured of period of prosperity and use
rullness equal to that OF any such jour
nal in the world. Every man interest
Ell in the horse industry desires to get
the news from Kentucky and become
familiar with the methods in vogue in
that State, and it seems that this paper
will, therefore, have an advantage OF
location possessed bv no other paper in
America.
