The Mckinley farmer is looking for nickel
hogs. This is the other side of the boom
most all wind.
Nobody's stomach has been enlarged, except
that OF the Industrial whale. People will not
eat more under Mckinley than they would un-
der Bryan; and the packers will pay Just what
they please, and no more. If we farmers get
more for hogs the poor devils in the mines aud
factories will pay more for hogs. Wages will
not 60 up; or, il wages do advance, nails will
60 to nickel apiece, and we will have to mort
gage our farms to buy plows or 60 to Canada
/ won't say that hogs will not advance. The
Devil may cause another war, and then every
thing will advance except humanity and relig-
ion.
AS the thing stands to-day, industrials are on
the Jump; nogs and wheat fuctuating; tooth
picks steady; labor below par, and still tum-
bling. Jonah is still in the whales belly, and
no storm i'll sight. 10 MCDnL.

Be Patient and Wait.

Kansas COnmOner.
Editors and politicians are expending great
deal of wind in these days immediately follow
ing the presidential election upon various
schemes for the reorganization OF old parties
and the formation of new ones. The over
whelming success of the Republicans at the
polls is, of course, responsible for all this cast.
ing about to turn up something new in the
way of political adventure. There is nothing
so strange or novel about party defeat at an
election that men need to become politically
deianged over such result. The result on
November 9th was due to the fact that the
wind and tide were against us. While we have
been driven fal to windward by the political
hurricane, we have dragged our anchor with
us, and our compass has not been thrown over
board. AS the storm-tossed sea of politics
grows calm, the outlines of the distant shore
line will become more and more distinct. If
our course has been right, in due season we
shall reach our destination, and now is not the
time to betray weakness in the presence of the
opposition by talking OF reorganization or the
launching of new parties. Time and events
will control future party action, and all we can
safely do is to abide their coming, and, in the
meantime, to bold fast to what we have. The
present trend of things is toward violent re-
action from great Republican majorities. This
country will, ere long, stagger under the bur-
den imposed by concentrated plutocracy. The
magnitude of the peoples mistake will appear
with unfailing certainty IN the future. The
present hour calls for unfaltering steadfastness.
The men who grow impatient because of tenn
porary defeat, as a rule, are men who esteem
the emoluments of public office of more value
than correct principles. 1t is no time to change
our base. Have faith, and stick to our old text.

THE Belgian comrades are just now pushing
their campaign for universal suffrage with all
possible energy. An enormous demonstration
was held Oh Nov nth, preceded by great street
meetings. Their demand for complete and
universal suffrage for women as we'll as men is
attracting widespread attention.

BOOMS.

The day after the election, railroad and in
dustrial stocks went on boom. The cores
pondent of the Chicago News observed that
now the election was decided in favor of the
Republicans party, stocks--especlally indus
trials-would probably make steady advances.
To the uninformed, will say that industrial
stock is trust stock. Trust stock is to make
steady advances. One-third of trust, or indus
trial, stock is water. 1t is expected, and unre-
publican rule will be realized, that water will pay
good dividends. Perhaps more water will be
added and prices will be made to meet new
issues. To pay dividends, any boy ought to
know that the consumer will have to pay higher
prices for what he consumes.
The same day that industrial stock doomed,
beef cattle went off ten cents; hogs bobbed up
and ducked down. Mckinley prosperity was
only able to lift ''industrials."
Also, the same day after election, Standard
Oil announced foulth quarterly dividend for the
year. Total for the year is 42a per cent
Leave out the water, aud the dividends amount
10 about 100 per cent. on the actual investment.
1t is mentioned by the Chicago News finance
reporter that a large number of the buyers of
stock seem to have come from the outside of
the circle of the regular spectators.
l believe the statement that "a fool and his
money are soon parted" If there had been
no fools, there would have been no Jay Goulds;
and if God had not created coal and oil, there
would have been no Rockefellers and coal
barons.
1t is the fellows who expect to buy stock in
the industrials. We are all going into the in
dustrials, and we will all be millionaires Gus
farmers will sell our farms and invest in the
industrials.
Jay Gould got most of the money Of the little
stockholders in railroads. The industrial whale
will have more fish aboard than Jonah when
the storm comes. guess 1t doesn't make very
much difference. The industrial whale will
swallow most of the earnings, in any case.
A fool and his money are soon parted whether
he buys stock or pays it out in tribute. 1t is
If we buy stock, one whale can nave the
whole carcass.
If we attempt to hold OH, we will divide with
seventy whales.
All the whale has to do is to open his mouth,
and we just tumble over each other to see who
shall be first
I bought few nails the other day, for re-
pairing purposes. The dealer could have
counted them out in less time than it took to
weigh them. If l was dealer, should al.
ways count nickel parcel, and save time.
Plows have also taken boon An Ameri.
can plow is worth less in anada, to the con-
sumer, than the same plow can be bought for
in the United States from the manufacturer
About the only thing in industrials that has
not doomed is the toothpck-for which the
Lord be praised,

HOW IS THIS THUS?

HUW ID lHlS lHUS!
The Topeka Capital says: "The oficia
returns will show that the Republican party
has finally won back the ground lost by the
Populist revolution in this state. In 1888
oo4. This year, President McKinley's vote
was 1877 1881. Supt. Nelson received the heav-
lest vote on the state ticket, namely, 1872 ,286,
or about 600 less than Harrison's vote in 1888,
the year Of Kansas banner Republican ma
jority.
Compared with 1S2,9o4 votes in SS, the Re-
publican vote in 1890 was II5,o25 for Gov.
Humphrey, on small total vote. In 'o2,
Harrison received 157,237. In ga, Morrill's
vote was I4S,697 on small total vote. In 96,
McKinley's vote was 1854 out of total Of
$4,000 in round figures. In '9S, Stanley's
off-year vote was I49,292. This year, McKin-
ley is 5000 ahead of Harrisons vote of '88, on
total poll 10000 greater, however, than any
vote in the states history. These figures show
a steady gain at every successive election The
Republican party has not only gained, but it
has held its gain.
1.-THE fusion vote shows a small falling off,
however, considering the magnitude of the
Republican victory. In 1892, it was 163,II1.
In 'o6, it was III, ,8Io and this year it is, on
Bryan, I62,o37, and on Breidenthal, I64,96o.
Bryan's vote has dropped back to the level of
Cleveands in 'o2. There is a fusion falling
off from '96 of about 10, 900, and Republican
gain of $4,000, with total vole about 10000
heavier than four years ago.
The total vote in Kansas exceeded all ex-
pectations, and probably is considerably ahead
of the whole country in proportion to popula-
tion On the basis of 1900 votes in Kansas,
the vote of the country should be over eighteen
millions, which would be two millions in excess
of the highest previous rate of increase. In
1880, the national vote was nine million; in
1894, ten million; in 1888, fraction over
eleven million; in 1892, twelve million, and in
was greater in 1896 than il any previous ma
tional election, and if the Kansas vote is fairly
representative of the increase this year, it is
nearly double that of four years ago."
The Kansas City World of the 24th contains
dispatch from Washington, as follows:
" Inc pOpulatlOn OF ka0SaS was announced
by the census bureau at I,47o,4o5. In $780,
il WIS t,427,o9o; increase, 43,399, or THREE
PER CENT. The increase between 1850 and
1890 was 43 900, or 1872 per cent"
What does all this mean? l, means that if,
as is given by the census report Kansas popu-
lation has only increased 3 per cent. in ten
years, the vote could not have doubled-could
not have increased more than pet cent-in
the same length of time. Then, if the fusion.
i.ts sustained the slight loss given by the Cap
ital it is very evident that the Republican vote
was padded, or that the Republican bosses i'm
ported several thousand voters for the occasion.
Iideed, it IS known that many men were i'm
ported, in various parts of the state.
The editor of the Capital would help his uwr
cause by being careful about the statements he
makes; or, rather, making no statements with
out knowing wha: he is talking about.

" are the effects of the Use of alum
baking powders in food making.
There is no question about the poi
sonous effect of alum upon the sys-
tenn. 1t obstrncts digestion. p-ost
rates the nerves. coagalates and de-
vitalizes the blood. All this has
been made clear, thanks to physi-
clans, boards Of health, and food
commissions. So "highly injurious
to the health of the community" does
the eminent head Of the University
OF Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consid-
er the alum baking powders, that he
says "tllelr sale should be prohibited
by law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while Of every housewife
to employ the very little care that
is necessary to keep so dangerous
an element from the food of her fam.
lily.
A pure cream of tartar baking
powder, which is the only kind that
should be used, ought to cost about
forty-6ve to fifty cents a pound.
Therefore, if you are paying much
less, something is wrong; if you are
paying twenty-five cents or less per
pound, the powder is certainly made
from alum.
Always bear these simple facts in
mind when purchasing baking pow
der.

DRINK ONLY VODKI.
The Sales of the LIQUOR in Russia
Are Controlled BY the Gov. $3.50
eminent.

The Russian peasant classes drink
only vodki, which is distilled from rye
and is sold at the average price of
$1.4O a gallon, whether in quantities of
one or 10000 gallons, says the New
York Press. The government requires
that the proof of vodki and brandy
shall be 40 degrees and that of spirits
of wine from 80 degrees to IS degrees.
In provinces where the sale of liquor
is controlled by the government, tenn
perance societies, supported in part.
by the government, have been organ
lied, with Prince Oldenburg, a distin-
guished philanthropist of St. Peters
burg, as president. They have opened
reading rooms, with libraries and res
taUrants, near public gardens and
squares, where large numbers of work.
ing people congregate, and they sell
cheap and good food with such tenn
perance drinks as tea. milk and kvass,
made from cranberries and black bread.
One of these societies has constructed
two FLOATING restaurants one of
which will feed 600 people and the
other 800. These boats are lowed to
points on the Neva where workingmen
are employed or congregate. An open
theater has been established on Pc
trovsky island, where a good class of
plays is given at a nominal price. Some
of the public parks are also supplied
with apparatus to encourage open7air
sports
