Furthermore, he gets little encourage
ment from the steamship companies to
emigrate under those circumstances.
But when there is job in this country
for every man who can and will work,
the immigrants come in. herds. The
increase in immigration, therefore, is a
tribute, welcome or otherwise, to the
prosperity which the protective t&rif
system, restored by the Dingley law,
has brought to this country, as the large
immigration in 1892 was a tribute to
the prosperity which followed the en-
actment Of the Mckinley law Of 1890.
The would-be immigrants apparently
put no more confidence in Mr.. Bryan's
predictions Of hard times in case Of
President McKinley's reelection than

REGENERATED KANSAS.
Securely Anchored to the Party of SAM
ity and Prosperity

Securely Anchored to the Party of SAM
ity and Prosperity.
The return of Kansas to the Republi-
can party has an interest for the entire
United States. Kansas was one of the
first States to be swept off it's moral
base by the Populist flood. The Farm
ers' Alliance, which was the nucleus
around which the Populist party was
built, had Kansas for it's radiating CEN
ter. William A. PETER, who succeeded
John j. ingalls, in the Senate in 1891,
was, with James III. Kyle, of South Da-
kota, the first of the Populists to reach
that body, although at the time Of
their election they were simply Farm
ers' Alliance men. Both are in the Re
publican party now.
Kansas went squarely over to the
Poulists in 1892, and gave it's ten cleo
toral votes to Gen. James Il. Weaver,
the Populist candidate in that year,
the stump and at the polls. The State
made temporary return to political
sanity in 1894, when it elected Repub-
lican Governor, and was carried by the
Republicans in 1895 also for Chief JUS,
tice 1t went back to it's follies in 1896,
plurality. An indication of reawaken-
ing reason was shown in 1893, when
the Republicans again got the State on
Governor.
It's big plurality for President Me-
Kinley in the election just held marks
the end of Kansas Demo-Pop debauch.
Kansas will hereafter stick to the party
of public spirit and balance. That
State has seen right at home some Of the
evil effects of it's political obliquities.
Its gain in population in the decade
ending with 1900 was only $4,000, which
was insignificant compared with its ex-
pansion in the Republican days. Popo-
cracy assailed the States credit, dimin-
ished it's business, sent thousands of its
residents out to other States, and pre-
vented the immigration of other thou
sands who would have gone there if
that Popo-Dem. quarantine has been
raised In the election just held Kan
sas has redeemed itself. Its days Of adj
versity are consequently ended. Mill
ions Of dollars of capital and thousands
of settlers that have been repealed by
the Bryanite blight on the State will
now flow in, and another era Of expan-
sion and prosperity like that Of the old
and great Republican days will come.
Kansas has anchored herself to the
party of sanity and prosperity, and the
prizes of social fortune are again with
in her reach.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

The Chiefest Threat.

Said the Salt Lake Tribune just prior
to the election Of Nov. 6:
1.-THE men of Utah will keep in mind
that the election Of Mr.. Bryan would
smash the protective tariff in Utah.
That is the chiefest threat of the Kan
sas City platform. The lead, wool,
sheep, sugar and stock men of the State
should keep that in mind
It is very evident that the men Of
Utah kept in mind that 'schiefest
threat" for they swung into line for
Mckinley and protection by majority
Of over 1000, State which in 1896
gave Bryan a majority of 81 1890.

Joe Jenkins at New Hope Church.
The American soldier of the civil
war, said Thirty sixth Indiana man..
was the brayest and most generous Of
all soldiers. To illustrate: On the
morning of May 81, 1864, near Dallas,
not far from New Hope Church, Geor-
gia, we moved during the fight to with
in close range of the enemy. We threw
up rifle pits, and when daylight came
we opened fire until we got things hum
ming nicely; then crept back by details,
into ravine and cooked breakfast On.
this particular morning I was hungry,
and while eating my bareback, which
| had previously fried in grease, the
lieutenant of my company said: Dick,
don't eat SO much. You will be shot
after while, and it is a pity to waste so,
much good sowbelly and nice hard
tack. Your corpse will look just as

Barnyard Sheds.


We once knew man who declded
that he would make tight board
fence ON the north and east sides OF MS
BARNARD to protect the cattle from the
wind. as it would cost but Little more
than any other snug fence. When this
was done he found that little expense
would roof over the space between the
fence at one side and end and the Dulid-
ing. Then he had shed, not quite
water tight, for he did not single It
but battened the cracks, where the cat
tie could stand while he was cleaning
ont the stables and spreading the oeo-
ding in a stormy day, and longer when
the sun shone into it, and they were
much more comfortable. It was pleas
ine to see how the cattle would gather
in that shed after they mao uranA'
while waiting for the door to open that
they might go into the barn. Inc eA-
nanse was small and was more than re-

probably by saving of food, though the

Keep the Boys ON the Farm.

A great deal of plausible advice has
been given under this heading, which
may or may not be practicable when
applied to real life. But one secret of
keeping the boys in the country home,
and thus solving the abandoned farm
problem, is in arousing their interest
and giving them some personal share
in that farm, something which they can
feel is their own, and which will be
theirs also when the time comes for its
sale. For this purpose nothing is better
than poultry raising. Many boy has
become successful poultry keeper by
having pair of bantam fowl given
him when a child, and being made re-
sponsible for their care and keeping
Do not discourage the crude attempts
of the boy, nor laugh at his enthusiasm,
but tactfully point out the best way to
accomplish the end he desires; show
him how to care for his little flock, and
foster his interest in every way. Teach
him about the nature and habits of the
hen, and cultivate in him the faculty Of
careful observation.
AS the boy grows UP, his Interest VIII
deepen, and when the time comes that
boys are tempted away from the farm
by the attractions of city life, he will
be unwilling to leave the business
which he has built up and which he
finds profitable. Give him occasionally
a pair Of fancy fowl; encourage him to
exhibit at the fair and to take pride
IN the condition of the feathered COM
munity under his care.
A subscription to good poultry jour-
nal or live farm paper. If he is at all
inclined to reading, will help to stimu-
late his interest. If the boy, the aver
age country boy, has pleasant, mon
ey-making employment, he will not Of
ten desire to leave the farm; and that
employment may often be found In
poultry raising. It is a business which
is never likely to be overcrowded. En-
courage the boys; they are the life.

will give better results than twenty

grown it for years say the cost when
