"I hope, if you have occasion to allude to my political position, you will save me from any report of having gone over to the third party prohibitionists, who have made the most fatal of concessions in submitting the right of citizens to vote to the will of the majority of the states. Look at their suffrage plank, which after declaring that the right of suffrage inheres in citizenship, cooly says it is the duty of the states to restore it. Isn't that a sop to the ex rebels? Isn't that surrendering the vital principle on which the war was fought, and which we have been wont to say we gained by the sword, and secured by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments that it is the right and duty of the national government to protect the right of citizens of the United States to vote in every state of the A prominent farmer of this county was asked last Monday, in this city, if, in his opinion, the Democratic tariff bill would not injure the wool industry of Kansas. "No," said he, "the wool industry was practically killed by the reduction of 1883. Prices have been going down ever since and reached the lowest point this year.

There has been an occas ional brief recovery, but the decline has been steadily downward, until farmers have disposed of their sheep and gone into other departments of production." Farmers ought to be able to comprehend that Democratic low tariff, in practice, strikes the agricultural pursuits as disastrously as any other. If from any cause, production in one channel becomes unprofitable, the farmer abandons it and goes into some other. By fram ing laws that transfer wool raising to a foreign country, we force producers into corn aud wheat fields aud increase the supply, which by the operation of a natural law lessens the price, so that what we gain in cheap wool we more than lose in cheap corn and wheat. To illustrate: What can we make by saving ten dollars a year on clothing, by the free trade policy, and lose fifty dollars in the price of corn? Winfield Tribune. WHAT MEN NEED WIVES FOR.

It is not to sweep the house, make the bed, darn socks and cook the meals that man chiefly wants a wife. If this is all he needs servants can do it more cheaply. If this is all, when a young man calls to see a lady, send him into the pantry to the bread and cake she has made; send him to inspect the needle-work and bed mak ing, or put a broom in her hands and send him to witness its use. Such things are important, and the wise man will quickly look after them. But what the true man wants is her companionship, sympathy and love.

The way of life has many dreary places in it, and man needs a companion to go through with. A man is sometimes overtaken by mis fortune; he meets with failure and defeat; trial and temptation beset him, and he needs one to stand by him aud sympathize. He has some hard battles to fight with poverty, enemies and sin; and he needs a woman that when he puts his arm around her, he feels he has something to fight for, that will help her to whisper words of counsel and put her to his heart and import courage. All through storm and sunshine, through conflict and through victory, through adverse and favorable winds, man needs a woman's love, the heart yearns for it. A sister's or a moth er's love will hardly supply the need.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, D. 0., July 28, '88. The governor of the Chickasaw nation is asking for U. S.

troops, to protect his peoplo against white men, who are pasturing their cattle in the Chickasaw country, in dtfiance of the laws and treaties, and of the decision of the secretary of the interior. In order to secure their pastur age against the depredations of cattle men, the Chickasawa limit the number of cattle to be kept on their public lands, by the "permit men," so-called, who are the white men per mittod to reside in the country. But these "permit men," disregarding the law, are pasturing large herds in the nation. The Chickasaw autborit ies being about to enforce the statutory penalty of one dollar per head upon these cattle, the "permit men appealed to the secretary of the interior, who decided in favor of the Chickasaws. Thereupon the "permit men" arm ed themselves, raised the United States flag, and by force prevented the Chickasaw authorities from col lecting the penalty.

Governor Guy has called for federal troops, his cowboy enemies outnumbering his own milita two to one. He says the cowboys will not fire on federal troops. Congress almost always does the bulk of its legislative work during the last two weeks of the session. Month after month is spent in dawdling and in talk, and then most of the law are made, under suspension of, the rules, in the week preceding the adjournment. The consequences are deplorable.

The legislation of congress is not always, or often, the product of cool, steady wotk; but is J. fi. JKNMN'iH, Kl)ITM. TKKMS OK HUllSCRIITION. Six months 78 cents One yar H.W Two dollars a year It nut paid In advance.

A recent writer in Japan suggests that we should, instead of sending them missionaries, ask them to send us a batch.

He says "The Japanese are temperate. To a visitor tea and not alcoholic liquors is offered. There are no standing bars in Japan, and no public drinking of liquors that intoxicate. The Japanese are polite. Their honesty is attested by the pro prietor with nobody in while he goes to a distant part of the city.

There are no bolts and bars on the public private honses. The Japanese are hu mane. Horses are rarely beaten, and oxen drawing loads have awnings fastened over them Cuttle for slaughter are carefully led. Gunning for sports is unknown. At school the children of nobles are poorly dressed, to avoid injuring the feelings of poorer children.

They are also remarkably hospitable and courteous." This comment is based on Morse's book on Japan. Could not a generalinternational missionary exchange be arranged? What is that can be taken from land and leave it better? The answer to this riddle, says an exchange, is in one word clover. And its advice is to sow clover whenever there is a chance sow it liberally. It is the farmer's only opportunity of making, under all circumstances, a clear profit getting a valuable crop without leaving his land poorer thereby. "The man," says General Harrison "who lived through the war of the Rebellion and did not make some sac rifice for the success of the Union army who did not say one brave thing when, with bare and bleeding breasts, our soldiers looked into the face fo hell for their country can never be enshrined as kthe soldiers friend." A youngster was asked his idea of the meaning of "responsibility," so he said: "Well, supposing I had only two buttons on my trousers and one came off all the responsibility would rest on the other button." There will be a million more voters in this election than four years ago.

As go these "first voters" so goes the country. Many more now than in 1884 are boys of old soldiers who will vote as their fathers shot. It is said that over fifty newspapers have, suspended publication in he past six months in this state. Illustrative of the infamous outrage of locking up Oklahoma and the Indian Territory against settle ment and occupancy we may mention that some women, accompanied by a boy, went down into the Territory last week about forty miles to get a few plums. There are hundreds of thousands of bushels of wild pimns rotting down there.

The party are wives of poor but respectable fanners in this yichuty. Upon their return they were hunted down by soldiers who drove them out of the Territory, knocked in the end board of their wagon and let the plums spill out on the ground. The blanketed and breech clouted Bons of Lo are allowed to come np here at their own sweet will, but if the wife of a Kansas farmer goes down in the Territory to to get a few wild plums she is driven out by bayonets and her plums thrown upon the ground. A paradise for blanketed Indians; the sharp end of a bayonet for the wives of sol diers who fought four years to uphold the government. There will bo a day of reconing some time.

No matter where you go you will always find those who obstruct your pathway, always find those who belittle your endeavors, who prove great stumbling blocks to your pro gress; who are continually predicting your failure; those who magnify your indiscretion; who lie about you; dis courage the efforts you make, and rejoice over your failures; those who are envious, iealous and cruel. You can not esoape thes people; they lurk in every town and city; in every com munity, and knowing this there is then but one way to thrive and hustle.

A government that locks up and loans the people's money to bankers free, Bnd thus destroys value and sows the land with notes, mortgages and bonds, is the worst form of depotism, no matter what you call it, no matter how much you kiss the hand that smites.
