Fusion of Kansas Populists n Dem
OcratS ;

Fort Scott, Kansas, July 25.-At
their convention to-day the Kansas
democracy surrendered to the demands
of the populists and thereby made pos
sible the highest and most harmo-
NOUS fusion that has v e existed in
this state. The populists had de-
manded from the democrats h office
lof associate justice in exchange for
that of attorney general.
A fight was expected before the dem
Iocrats would give UP this plum, but,
~counseled by Judge Johnson, national
committeeman for Kansas, they final
ly acceded to the demands of the pop
ulists.
The ticket, completed by the differ
ent conventions, was finally endorsed
by all INTERCHANGEABLE, populist and
silver republicans. 1t is headed by
John W. B~reidenthal, populist, who
was nominated for governor.

only drunkard! a ptiful thing,
whose rough, ragged raiment so closely
doth cling
10 the rum-stricken form, while the wintry
winds rave
With the moans that will echo so soon
round his grave.
Yet pity him now, for the sake Of the days
When his feet followed free in the happiest
ways,
And the marks on the fine open TEXTURES,
were not
The skeleton brand of a sin-saddened sot.
Think Oft ofthe time. ere the weld drove him
When he lovingly laughed as an innocent
mother prayed over him, over him wept,
Taught him while waking and watched
while he slept,
70 crown him with culture. toiled early and
late,
And dreamed of manhood both honored
and great.
Somebody's darling, somebody's Joy,
somebody's brother, somebody's bow
Somebody's hero, somebody's love,
Worshiped as next to the Master above.
College friends fiattered him, happy ana
gay,
Conquerng obstacles day after day
Winning In wisdom the rich golden grain,
easy to him Of the brilliant brain;
Bright eyes grew brighter with love when
he came,
Fond of his fancies and proud of his fame.
And wept with delight, and worshipful
PRIDE
When he kissed her, and blessed her, and
called her his bride.
Twas then at the feast that he fell to HIS
Zoe,
And he drank to the day in the wines ruddy
glow.
Little by little before 1t he fell,
Following fate on the highway of hell;
Deeper and deeper he followed it down,
On to the damnable dens OF the town,
Torturing, starving, and cursing his wife,
Till death gave release from her rum
ridden life;
And the city authorities laid her to rest,
In a pauper's poor tomb with her babe on
her breast.
How it pursued him! The Demon, desire;
With its horrible thirst and it's fancies of
fire.
Forcing his feet to the terrible brink
OF the pit in which RACES the maelstrom of
drink,
Homeless, and hopeless, and loveless his
lot,
A whisky-worn. rum-maddened. bottle
bound sot.
Only a drunkard! And yet let US throw
Charity's cloak o'er his ways and his woe,
Striving to lead him in love to the light,
Piercing the gloom with the rays of the
right.

Noble Resolve of students.

The students of the Toronto University

liquors should be excluded from the an.

wasSadopted:
Resolved. That in the opinion of this
society the use Of Intoxicating liquors at
student functions is not in the best in
terests OF the students or the university,
and that the society wishes to place itself
as opposed to its use at functions con-
troled by the Literary Society"

Society Women Drink Cocktails.

Society Women Drink Cocktails.
The recent dispute in the Eclectic Club
over the question of cocktails for women
has stirred up no end of trouble in Gotham
and now comes more OF the leaders OF the
swellest OF all the swell sets and say that
there is no doubt that the society womea
10 drink more of the insidious decoction
than is good and right and proper for
them.
AS matter of fact. the question has be-
come so serious that Oscar, the head waiter
at the Waldorf has been asked to tell what
be knows about it. When atopic gets over
the heads OF the swell set there is only one
thing to do-appeal to Oscar. Oscar is u
genius. He is also clever man and one
who is fully alive to the enormous respon-
slbilities tnat rest on his devoted head.
And so when the good women began to get
into snarl over the cocktails somebody
thought at once of Oscar.
YES" said the sage, "the women do
drink too many cocktails, and they are not
oyster or soda cocktails, either. They ara
the real thing. But, added Oscar "a lady
is always lady, cocktail or no cocktail
This was an afterthought, and 1t WAS the
saving clause in the strong statement of
the man who tells even the Astors and the
Vanderbilts what they shall and shall not
eat or drink.
On the other hand some of the women
have rebelled against the sweeping state
ment that there are too many Manhattans
ana MartinlS ulSpOSeu or IN the 4UU. But
these women don't take issue with Oscar.
They are too wise to do that. They merely
say that there is mistake out somewhere.
Mrs. Theodore Sutro, however, is somewhat
shocked at the prevalence OF the cocktail
habit, and does not hesitate to say so in
lutte strong words. She is a Sorosis wom-
an, and in discussing the habit and its
alarming increase, says:
Il fully realize that women are every
day seizing upon new liberties. They have
laid hold Of the cocktail. but they must let
go. The American cocktail is strictly un-
feminine and was never meant for II wom-
ans palate. 1t is essentially mans drink
And 1t Is a conceded fact that the ap-
petite for mixed drinks is fast developing
among the female members Of New York's
"smarter set''
At the big hotel restaurants, Turkish
baths and places of social resort for wom-
en- of good social standing this is apparent.
Tue order books in the liquor departments
of the big grocery houses show, too, Won
derfully increased demand among the fash
ionable patrons for bottled cocktails and
absinthes.
Other society leaders do not care to be
quoted in cold ink on the topic and have
carefully avoided saying anything on the
matter except to admit II the great Ameri-
can cocktail is really demoraliziug the
Gotham ladies it is really too bad. Nothing
has been said yet about a reformation.

by law that he does not approve of the
district purchasing any of the expen-
siye Arithmetical Astronomical or En-
cyclopaediac charts now being offered
for sale by agents in different parts of
the county. Such pieces of apparatus
are usually expensive luxuries that the
average district teacher has but little
time to use. And the results, if they
are used are often so generalized that
they are of little practical or lasting
value to the pupil. The Commissioner
will be glad to correspond with districts
contemplating the purchase of such
apparatus.

Look Nearer Home.

The Republicans of Missouri have
entirely abandoned national issues in
this campaign and are devoting them
selves entirely to those that concern
the state. Their campaign orators
have received instructions to let such
questions as trusts, Imperialism, mill
tarism and other issues severely alone
and expend their efforts entirely to-
ward an attempt tc carry Missouri
Those who read the daily papers know
to what lengths Republican campaign
orators are going in their efforts to
show mismanagement OF state affairs
during the last twenty-five years by
the Democracy of Missouri.
To those who are posted on the po-
litical and financial history of Missouri
these statements are false on their face,
but the mass OF the people do not make
study of affairs OF this nature. Too
many depend upon public speakers
and partisan newspapers for such In
formation. These allegations and false
statements should accordingly not ba
allowed to 60 unchallenged. They
are easy to answer, and Democratic
speakers should give more OF their
time to disproving the Wholesale falsi-
flying Republican campaign orators are
indulging in. Fact and figures to COM
I.pletely overwbelm these Ananiases can
be easily adduced. The knowledge
that these statements from Republican
sources are false serves to make Demo-
Gratis treat them lightly. It should
not be looked at in this manner. Every
Democratic speaker should arm him
self with those facts and figures, so
easily obtainable. and prove the utter
falsity of Republican charges.
Missouri is sound on national issues.
Let US eschew so much exploitation of
these ard turn our attention nearer
home. Democratic newspapers and
orators by familiarizing the people
with even the half that the Democratic
party has done for Missouri can in
crease in no small degree the normal
Democratic majority in the State
State Tribune.
