No Tribute to England

This paper has received a
circular letter and Gov. Stan1ey's
proclamation concerning the
India famine. The circular bears
the head of the Kansas India
Famine Relief Committe. This is
somewhat misleading. 1t should
have been the kansas British
Relief Committee" as every dollar
that is sent to India FLOWS
England to use another dollar
for paying the expenses of a war
Of determination against two
struggling republics in South
Africa. Queen Victoria has just
made a trip to IreIa.fd, the first
in thirty years, -aifti tens OF
thousands of dollars have been
spentin this useless electioneering
trip. Why did she not stay at
home and send the money to her
starving subjects in India, in
stead of having her emissaries
running over this country beg
ging for her starr ng subjects?
No man who loves liberty and
has a, spark of ..patrio tic
Americanism in his makeup will
give a penny to this ssKansas

Doubtless every paperin Kans-
as has received one of those
English aid circulars fathered by
the English-aping republicaal
governor of Kansas. We got
one, and consigned it to the
waste basket, where every lover
of right and justice will consign
them. England has drained the
wealth of India into the royal
Golfers for many years; she
makes the laws for India, man.
ipulates the finances and is re-
sponsible for that benighted
country's inability to take care
of it's own people. No Kansan
should contribute one cent to
help England take care of her
poor while carrying on a war of
oppression against the Beers.

WHEN Hon. Claude Duval adj
dressed the people at the opera
house Monday night he pledged
himself and his efforts for the
election of whoever was the
fusion nominee of the two con-
ventions. When he received a
large majority of all the votes
cast in the two conventions he
should have been made the
fusion nominee. If the Hon. l.
p. Campbell had pledged him
self the same way; if he had at
any time received a majority Of
all the votes in both conventions
he would have been the fusion
nominee Think these things
over my democratic and popu-

may notdivide the vote which
will be cast in November against

absent, the first paper on 'Greenwood's
Pridciples of Education.
Teaching Geography was omitted.
the subject. was discussed by w.
l. Stickney. Prof. Baker gave an in.
teresting talk on the subject the leading
thought being to first teach the
synthetic and proceed gradually to the.
analytic. Mr.. Harrison spoke on
combining Geography and History.
as the different parts of the earth are
taken up. to connect the history of that
part with the Geography. MISS Bitner
spoke of the teaching of the text book
in primary grades. Mr.. Ewing told how
the natural divisions of land could be
shown on the play ground after rain
storm. Next came the discussion of the
I2th Chap Teaching Arithmetic, by
Prof. Baker, one of his leading thoughts
was that in the showing of problems
they should proceed step by step. and
not permit the child to glue up. be-
cause he can not Immediately see the
result or answer. Walter Mathewson
spoke on the saving of time between
the calling of classes, calling attention
and beginning work, he said the sooner
work was begun after calling attention,
the better the attention, and recitation
would be.
The 18TH Chap. was then taken up,
and the subj. of Health and Hygiene
was discussed by Helen Minis. One
thought was that the different tenn
peraments should receive special study
by the teacher It was ordered that
the Associs ton adjourn and meet in
Central School Building at 1890 P. M.
The afternoon session opened by
singing America. Roll call responded to
by quotations from American authors.
The I4th Chap. was then taken up and
the subj. of Only Boy was discussed
by Sadie Dale. The nth Chap.

until afternoon was now taken up and
was ably discussed by Prof. Young ).
The basis of his discussion were the
important steps in teaching. history.
The fist step being the stories is TO be.
taught to the younger children, the;
second step, the most difficult to master
is The Facts, which. he said could be
mastered only by hard work. sThethird

cussed by Francis Ewing, he gave
largely the life and downfall Of Benedict

the battles, capture of Corvallis and
close of the Rev. We were then favored
with a song by College Glee Club, fol-
lowed by reading by Prof. Hennessy.
The third paper by Jos. x. Smith. The
paper why Teachers should attend

excellent thoughts were given to the
teachers. 1t was discussed by Prof.

The congressional situation in
the seventh district as it now
stands, with the machine candi-
date, Chester /. Long as the re-
publican nominee, Claud Duval
as the democratic nominee, and
I. p. Campbell as the populist
nominee, is one of the most
pleasing to the republican poll
ticians and most disgusting to
those democrats, populists and
republicans who desire the cleo
tion of an able and clean man to
represent us in congress. AS to
where the responsibility lies for
this situation we dorpot care to
discuss at the present time.
Perhaps one convention held in
Great Bend ISL deserving of the
blame; prehaps both of them are.
AS a democrat we believe that
the democratic convention made
all the advances towards an
amicable ); fusion that could
.honorably be made. Asa man
who has, for the past ten years
made all honest endeayor for the
election of Jerry Simpson, the
populist candidate, we want to
state that fusion on SOME, can
didate could have been made
had the more sober-minded, con-
servative elements prevailed in
both conventions. We do not
as one of the delegates, want to
to be held responsible for the
rampant and unreasonable
course of some of the democratic
delegates; nor do we desire to
charge the earnest, honest THINK
ING populists who were manipu-
lated against their will by the
politicians in the populist con-
vention, with responsibility for
the present situation. We be-
lieved when the conventions
assembled-and we believe SO
still-that q majority of xrall the
delegates were thereto unite on
one man. We hope that all
friends of the cause of humanity,
all followers of VIM. j. Bryan
who wish to see him placed at
the head OF our nation,i should
continue in a conservative, earn
est, fair and logical manner to
adjust the differences which
divide us; to the end that there
may not be~on election day4a
divided vote for congressman in
the 7th Kansas district. The
world was not made in a day,
the factional fights are not
called off in an hour.
