Grover undoubtedly wants a monarchy; perhaps he wants a crown.

What does a politician care for the people, so long as he has an office? When workingmen vote their own interests the hard times will be at an end. Man proposes, but the devil 3is-poses, is what some think of the last election. I uck and pluck make a splendid team, but if you put a good rider on pluck he will distance luck every time. If the Populists would turn out their own rascals it would save the Prosperity Party a great deal of unnecessary trouble. Why shonld the government buy gold and allow it to be drawn out of the treasury by spectators, and sent to Europe? A fool ho never knows when he has enough but a Populist may it be said to their credit knows just when to let go, that is some of them.

Some people would rather go down to their graves in ignorance, than read Tom Pain, Bob Ingersol or Waltair. Such people should read Age of Reason. The republicans were successful and the populist know it. You dont need to step on their corns unless you want to increase their bump of combativeness. Our ink bottle has a large lot of literature corked up in it; it would be wonderful good reading, if wo only had some smart fellow to spread it on paper.

There 13 great rejoicing among re-publicans they cant realizs that the Overwhelming victory of their party is the severest blow the cause of silver has received since its demonetization. Fame may be very well in its place, but when you use it in order to get credit at the store, you will find that 160 acres of good farm land, free and clear, will go farther than fame every time. The Bond issue is now upon us, to ouy gold for the exporter, to draw from the treasury and ship to Europe, how long will the people of the nation sit silently by and let the treasury be robbed. There are people in Topeka who are too lazy to do any thing, but loaf around the corners and think what a soft snap life is, and wish they would never die. They will keep their eye on the Assocjate Charities this winter.

Great is the advertising dodge. Now they are sending expert hairdressers around who shampoo, cut, carl and comb your luxuriant tresses for the privilege of introducing Dr. So-and-sos shampoo and hair restorer. Have they The Republican papers boast of the result of the late elections as a victory for protection. As the two parties that favor protection both lost votes enormously, and the two parties that oppose protection both gained votes, it would look like nhe verdict wa3 tle other way Many of cur exchanges are now e-recting toombstones for the Democratic party, Twere well but we fear the old thing wont stay dead.

The Republican party was buried in 1884, and 1892 and the Democratic party in 1888 and now again in 1894, but the pesky things refuse to stay buried. We fear we shall have more Democratic reform to contend with yet before this country gets a just government. 1 11 The Populists lost votes in the West where they have had power and gain ed in the South and East. Their loss in the West was doubtlees due to the incompetency of thier leaders when entrusted with power. The Peoples party is an almost unorganized protesta, gsinst irtj ustice and wrong.

They are doiDg a good work in educating the people and disitegrating the old parties, but they lack the organization and statesmanship to enable them to properly eandle the government. Looking outward and upward is a more practical method of finding ones pathway than looking downward and inward. The pilot in mid-ocean does better, as a pilot, by keeping his eye on the sun or the stars, as he stands at the helm, than he would by fixing bis sight on the sea before his vessels bow, or by turning hi3 eyes into the vessels hold. Only as a man has thought of God and heaven can he comprehend his true relations to earth and to his fellow-man. A recogition of abstract truth is, in fact, essential to understanding of truth in the concrete.

Therefore it is, as Phillips Brooks says, that there has been no great teacher of mankind in whose nature have not met the mystic and the moralist, the seeker after most transcendent truth and the enforcer of moBt practical duty. 1 1 The papers are talking about the late election as an upheaval. We should call it a collapse. 1 he whole politiual meeting house turned over and collapsed and the Republican party had the good luck to ba on top in the general smash. Politics are certainly in a chaotic state when the Republican party loses California and Nebraska, and gets Kansas by a scratch, but carries Delaware, West Virginia and Teuneseo.

We see that on November 8tb, the distilleries started up again. Was that the result of the election? We have not yet heard of any saloons closed as the result of the late e-lection. Have you? society" notes. Mr. and Mrs.

The SHAWNEE INDEPENDENT will send one piece of new copyrighted sheet music each week for one year (fifty-two pieces in all), postpaid, and The SHAWNEE INDEPENDENT one year, for only $2.00. The above offers are expressed in few words, but consider well the magnitude of the offers here made. The sheet music which is offered is not old or hackneyed pieces, but perfectly new, copyrighted music, which will be sent subscribers each week as published, thus securing to our subscribers new, fresh, bright music each week. As the music is new and is sent each week as published, it is impossible to state the title of pieces which will appear. Suffice it to say, that the music will comprise the latest and best vocal and instrumental pieces produced by the leading composers of the present time.

The regular price of the music is 40 cents per sheet, and in no way can it be obtained at less than that price except through the liberality and enterprise of The SHAWNEE INDEPENDENT. That subscribers may know just what this music is before accepting this offer, a sample sheet will be sent, if desired, on receipt of 10 cents, but not more than one sheet will be sent, as the music will not be sold at less than 40 cents per sheet.
