Washington, Nov. 5. The Farmers' Allianca people at tho national headquar ters of the organization, in this city, are figuring out a great victory for the Farm ers in the results of yesterday's elec ions. Mr. I. L. Polk, president of tho Alliance, is absent from the citj, but Mr. D. H. Rittenhouse, the secretary talked freely with a reporter of the Post this evening on the subject. He said that as the smoke clears away it becomes more and more apparent that the farmers organizations have asserted themselves It was the first opportunity given organ iced effort to show that boss rule has come lo an end. The Farmers' organizations desired to rebuke the party that defeated free coinage of silver and framed a law that irapo-.es greater burdens on the poor men than on the rich. Mr. Kittenhouso in reply to a request for some specific state ments of what tho Alliance accomplished in the election, said bo could not give all 1ho evidence, but tho returns, lie said, are sufficient to prove his fctatement. In the eastern itatcs, where the farmers' League Is strong and the Knights of Labor have aided in showing this congress that their demand for free coinage was no idle one. This was most noticeable in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, where the two organ izations are tho strongest. The Fariiiers' League and Alliance has just received a good foothold in New Jersey and New York and changes are not so startling. The Grangers, League and Alliance wore organized well in Pa., and the farmers and laborer gave bossism a rebuke of large pro portions. In Ohio, he said, there is no state organization of the Alliance. Indfana and Illinois has been organized but three months. The Mutual Benefit association did much good work. West Virginia has just been organized. Tho Alliance was not so powerful jus in Virginia in the southern states the fights were ma lo at the primaries. Mr. Kittenhouso called particular attention to the effect in Mis houri, Knnsns, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Colo rado and other states. He said that in proportion to tho organization it had been a cyclone. The reporter asked Mr. liitten housc if he meant to say that the Farmers' Alliance is an auxilliary of the Demo emtio party. He replied not by any means. The Democratic party fought the Alliance in South Carolina and at other points. Tho farmers desired to rebuko the party in power for their recent disregard of the people's demand. Thi- congress was petitioned for freo coinage from almost every Alliance in the United States. The petitions were ignored. This ground swell does not provo that tho Alliance and kindred organizations will support tho Democrats in 1HI2. If tho Democrats failure to greater the volume of currency they will receive the same kind of punish ment in 1&92. Salvation Oil, the great pain remedy, is a genuine and reliable liniment. Price 2. No one has ever been disappointed in using Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup for a cold. NO EXTRA SESSION. Washington, Nov. 5. Postmaster Gen eral Wanainaker today, in reply to an in eiuiry by a representative of the Associated Press, said that there was no probability of an extia session of congress. While, lie said, only the president could speak author itatively opon the subject, he (Mr. Wana inaker) did not believe that the president had any thought of calling congress to gether before the regular .o&ion. Two other niemlters of t lie cabinet, who vere unwilling to be quoted by name, said in response to similar inquiries: "Theie will be no extra session." PALMER'S CAMPAIGN. CniCAGO, Nov. r Great interest has been felt In Illinois in the outcome of tho vigorous canvass which Gen. J. M. Palmer has made for the election of the majority of the general assembly on joint ballot. Farly m June the Democrats departed from their usual custom, anil named Gen. Palmer in statw convention as the senator ial candidate against Charles B. Far well, the present incumbent Gen. Palmer has made a personal canviiss of tho state in be half of his party. The Republicans have had an advantage of several members in the politics of holdover senators, and this alono has prevented the Democrats from carrying the general assembly, if, indeed, they have leen unsuccessful. Bot h parties tonight are claiming a majority on joint ballot, and the Democrats are hopeful of electing Gen Palmer to succeed Senator Farwell. In the doubtful districts throughout tho state ho Democra's have almost uniformly won, by electing two majority representatives, as well as a sena tor in the districts where senators wero to be elected. The house will certainly bo very close, with tho chances in favor of the Democrats on tho face of the incom plete returns. A DOOTOE'S OONPESSIOlf. Ho Doesn't Take Much Medicine and Ad vises the Eeporter Not To. "Humbug? Of course it is. The so called science of medicine is a humbug and has. been from the time of Hippocrates to tho present. Why, the biggest crank in the Indian tribes is the medicine man." "Very frank was tho admission, espe cially so when it came from one of the big gest young physicians of tho city, one whose practice is among the thousands, though he has been graduated but a few years," says tho Buffalo Courier. "Very cozy was his office, too, with its cheerlul grate fire, its Queene Anne furniture, and its many lounges and easy chairs. He stirred the fire lazily, lighted a fresh cigar, and went on:" "Take the prescriptions laid down in tho books and what do you find? Poisons, mainly, and nauseating stuffs that would make a healthy man an invalid. Why in the world science should go to poisous lor its remedies I cannot tell, nor can I find any one who can." "How does a doctor know the effect of his medicine?" he asked. "He calls, pre scribes, and goes away. Tho only way to judge would be to stand over the bed ami watch the patient. This cannot bo done. So. really, I don't know how he is to tell what good or hurt he does. Sometime ago, you remember, tho Boston Globe sent out a reporter with a stated set of symptoms. He went to eleven promi nent physicians and brought back eleven different prescriptions. This just shows how much science thero is in medic ine." There are local diseases of various char acters for which nature provides positive remedies. They may not be included in the recular physician's list, perhaps, be cause of their simplicity, but tho evidence of their curative power is beyond dispute. Kidney disea.-e is cured by Warner's Safe Cure, a strictly herbal remedy. Thous ands of persons, every year, write as does II. J. Gardiner, of Pontiac, 1L I., Aug. 7, 1890: "A few years ago I suffered more than probably ever will be known outside of myself, with kidney and liver complaint. It is the old story I visited doctor after doctor, but to no avail. I was at New port, and Dr. Blackman recommended Warner's Safe Cure I commenced the use of it, and found relief immediately. Alto gether I took three bottles, and I truth fully state that it cured me." A BIG BLAZE. New Rochelle. N. Y., Nov. 5. A disas trous fire is raging here this morning. It started about 8:30 o'clock in the cellar of the Ferguson building, owned by George Ferguson, a grocer. The cellar was siored witu oil. The fire spread rapidly In a northerly direction from the Ferguson building, and the entire block is now (11 a. m.) involved. Fire apparatus from Mt. Vernon and Port Chester have arrived. The new Ko ehelle bank, situated in the Ferguson block, has been wholly consumed. The other concerns that have suffered are Ware Barber's dry goods establishment, J L. Contart. druggist, Mrs. Byrnes, boots and shoes. Tho flames have crossed Main street and two frame buildings are now burning. The loss on tho Ferguson buildinsr will be fully 8100,00a, and from the present out look the total loss will probably reach $400,000. About 1 o'clock the fire wasgotten under control. The loss is now estimated at $75,000. FIRE AT DENVER. Denver, Colo., Nov. 5. Fire broke out in the rear of Todd's lumber yard, on Ninth and Laramie streets at 11 o'clock to-night, and notwithstanding tho fire de partment, which was prompty on hand, in response to two alarms, the flames had spread nearly all over the yard belore the water could bo turned on. The flames quickly passed to the St. Elmo hotel, Meyers' liquor company, O'Lear's drug store, while a number of small residences just across tho alley, were given up to the flames. The fire is under control unless a strong wind comes up. One unknown man was burned to death in the hotel and his charred remains now lie at tho coroner's. It is reported that another man and two children were caught in the same building and destroyed. The truth of this miner will not be known before tomorrow, when the inmates of the hotel will be ac counted for. The cause of the fire is unknown. The loss cannot bo accurately estimated touight, but will probably bo over $100,000. SUICIDE. GOSHEN, Ind., Nov. 5. The suicide at Etna Green proves to have been much more horrible than at first reported. Asa Gray, a prosperous young fanner, called at the hoine of Miss Eva Pottinger and asked her, for tho second time, to become his wife. She declined, whereupon Gray seized her around the neck with one arm, Eressing his face close up to hers, and with is right hand placed a 33-calibre revolver to his head and fired, the ball penetrating his brain and causing instant death. Hi3 brains and blood bespattered Miss Pott inger's face and garments. She has be come a raving lunatic. KANSAS PATENTS. Washington, Nov. 5. Kansas patents granted were: Nellie L. Butler, Frankfort, sunbonnet; Marian Templin, St. Mary's, cultivator shoveL KANSAS POSTMASTERS. Washington, Nov. 5. The following fourth-class postmasters were appointed in Kansas: Rosa M. Draper. Burntwood, Rawlins county; P. C. Wilson, Jasper, Mead county. BIRCHALL. Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 5. Petitions from Great Britain for the reprieve of Birchall were received at, the department of justice today. They are two in number, and were signed by persons in all parts of England and Wales. They bear 1090 signatures. The main ground upon which commuta tion is Ksked is that the case was unduly prejudiced by the dishonest practices of Birchall, and by the supposed motives suspicion of the existence of a system of decoying young gentlemen to Canada as agricultnral pupils for purpose of murder ing them for their money; that the whole evidence on the part of the prosecution was circumstantial, and, in the opinion of the memorialists, so unsatisfactory as not to justif y conviction. Among the memori alists are the mother of the condemned man and his half-brother. A PRETTY GIRL MISSING. A UuuUeriui .uutuory. "I want something," said a farmer as he entered a Michigan avenue drug store the other day "Well, what is It?" "I didn't tie a string around my finger, but I guess I can get around to it all the same What's the name of the lake be low us?" "Lake Erie." "Exactly.

My old woman said I'd bo sure to forget it, but here's the proof that I didn't." Milwaukee Journal Adding Insult to Injury. $.1,5' 3 mo' She Has Disappeared from Wall Street, leaving; Xo Trace Behind. Lizzie Slitzker, a pleasant and pretty girl, sold papers at the door and in the cor ridors of the great Equitable building, on Broadway, Now York. Some weeks since Bhe reached her fifteenth birthday, and a little later she disappeared, leaving no trace. For nearly a month tho police and parties employed by her mother have searched in vain. The peculiar circum stances excite great interest among the financiers whose habitat is in that build ing. Fifteen years ago the mother brought her infant daughter there, and held her while she attend ed to her papers. The child was about the build ing much of her spare time during school days, and some eighteen months ago took her mother's place. The latter had acquired a smAI property in tho Fasincs3, but desired the child to follow it a lit 1 1 e longer. The janitor and all em ployes about the building who knew her well are positive that Liz zie never left vol untarily, intend ing to remain away from her mother, but old policemen and detectives shake their heads. The girl was handsome and attractive in manner. She had lately made the ac quaintance of and become intimate with two girls a little older who have more lib berty in roaming the streets. She went with them to a picnic the last day her whereabouts was known, and did not re turn home Therefore tho "old hands on tho force." as aforesaid, shako their heads gravely and say, "It is the regular case of that sort." THEY DIED AT DAWN. m i II appeared. Ho then drew a pistol; put it to his tempio and fired. Tho aim was true he fell dead. Almost at the same instant a pistol sounded in the room above, and when the landlady entered it she found Emilie lying on her back on the bed, her night robe slightly opened in front, a small hole in her breast, and the pistol lying on the floor. The ball had gone straight through the heart and lodged just under the skin of tho back. The pistols were of the same j r make, and had been bought by Koch the I TfD U D TIM TT M previous day. When he walked home with U U-D 1Jl1INJLjL1i tmuie m tne evenmg.fae carneu them m a pspsr candy box, and at a friend's, whore they remained a while, they spoke of the contents as "those precious candie?." The funerals of the two suicides took place at the same time. Their bodies were reduced to ashes in a crematory on Long Island. A large, riotous and i curious crowd witnessed the ceremonies.

Sensational Suicide of a Tonnjf Actress and Her Artist Lover. Gustave G. Koch and Emilie Rossi have astonished tho country by a mutual agree ment to die and a cotemporary or double Buicide he a handsome, wronged and em bittered man; she an ardent, sentimental and unbalanced woman both far from their native Germany, and by temperament unfit to adapt themselves to the hard, ma terial life of New York. The case is to the last degree remarkable, and the gradual unfolding of events which made the man a mental wreck is curious as anything in the imagination of Zola or Gaboriau. Gustave Koch was a young and handsome Austrian-German, who had served his time in the Austrian army and came at once to America, where he soon married a woman who proved unfaithful to him. Her guilt was conclusively proved and the proof was, indeed, realistic by a sly use of tho snap shot photograph camera, Koch's employer, a photographer, making tho arrangements for this proof. The sensational details were published Brown (whoe prize St. Bernard has just and Koch obtained a divorce, but in the in A Wonderful Triumph of Sargery. From Paris comes the report of a most extraordinary surgical operation which has resulted in giving intelligence to an idiot. The patient, an inmate of the Children's hospital, is a girl 4 years old. She had a deformed head of small size; never smiled, never took notice of anything and could neither walk nor stand. Dr. Lan nelongue, an eminent specialist, became convinced that tho condition of the little creature wjw due to the abnormal narrow- ness of the head, which hindered the nat- ural growth of the brain. Some time ago he made a Jong incision at the center of the skull, and cut out a portion of the left side of t, taking care not to injure the dura mater. The resuli of the operation was astounding. The child began lo walk in Ics.t than a month, and now she smiles, taV.es interest in everything around her and plays with a doll. She has been ele vated from the rank of an animal to that of an intelligent human beinc KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

Her father was a well known singer of Berlin; her mother was, andstill is, a writer of short stories for the German magazines. The girl inherited to a large degree the talents of both, but the self control of neither. She was educated with a view to making her the wife of some noble or well to do Ger man, but revolted and became an actress, against the angry protest of her mother. They were sadly estranged, and as far as can now bo known this was the inciting cause of her self destruction. The passionate, romantic, beautiful girl and the sad, sentimental Koch met. He loved her and she esteemed him; she went to Germany, only to get a stern re buke from her mother; she returned and received a telegram which seemed to add Texas Gained 1,659 Members During the Tear Xotos.

In that period the order in this state has increased numerically, its finances have flourished, so that its treasury was never larger, and an awakening has taken placo in different sections, showing that the Knights of Honor of the Empire state appreciate the great fraternity of which they form so largo a part."

It wasn't Murdock's rebellion, perhaps, but it was somebody's. Odd, isn't it? that these tidal waves come on onlv in off years. Tho explanation for all this is but it don't need an'; it explains itself. THE POWER OF TAMMANY. Shoot the first man that says "I told you so." It was the Eagle that did it long time ago. Tuesday soems to have been a pretty cold day back in Ohio, actually as well as figuratively, Tho State Horticultural society will hold its annual meeting in Topeka on December 1 and 2. To many havo,indecd,come the melan cholly days. But to many others it is a season of rejoicing. There is no evil without some com pensating good. Willits as governor may mean Plumb for president. Will the bosses tako tho very mild lit tle suspicion of a hint that has been Hung out for their benefit? Will they Evidontly somebody hus been badly fooled. And here's where 3lr. Lincoln's famous remark about fooling the people comas in. "Are Americans losing theis eyes':"' anxiously queries tho Chicago Tribune. Since the eyes go with tho head, wo think so; that is, a good many of them. There was probably never an instance in which thointelligence and character of an American community were more generally united at tho polls against it dangerous and irresponsible c asses than at this election. There is not one. even among the conspicuous leaders of Tam many Hall, who would be accepted as a representative of the character, industry, ability, and public spirit of the city. Nevertheless Mr. Choate wisely advised good citizens that tho organization of Tammany is very complete, and its power very great. It hesitates at nothing, and it counts on the worst and lowest motives. It counts also upon tho indifference of many good c tizens, and the feeling that at such times one side is a3 bad as the other. But no reasonable man can hold such an opinion of this controversy. Every in telligent citizen must feel that defeat would be tho disgrace of tho city. Harper's Weekly. Tho foregoing was written and uttered only a week before the election in the great metropolis that lias long been con trolledand ruled by the mailed hand of that political monster. And yet, with this fresh reminder of the history of its arbi trary and iniquitous sway, tho masses of the city again fell down before it and continue it in power. How the closing words of tho narairranh nuoted must haunt tho seemingly doomed people of that municipality WHO INVENTED THE STEAMBOAT. It was a protest on the part of tho west, against tho monopolistic tenden cies of tho east. And the east seems to have joined in tho protest also. The ''People' may not bo able to ex plain intelligently what they want, but they have a very emphatic way of de claring what they don't want. Don't you think? Mrs. Harrison has given nolico tSat hereafter no i&itor to the white houso is to be admitted to the red parlor. Blue appears to be the favorite color all around. Peck's bad boy is not the only incor giblo in tho great city of beer up on tno lake. He seoms to havo 0.000 compan ions in badness, from the result of tho election thero Tuesday. Tile honest farmers monopolize the poul try business just now. Not a rooster left on any other dung hill and its doubtful that there is even a hen loft to replenish tho domo-ralizod brood. Tho extra session of congress that has bcon talked about will probably not bo held. Fact is. a good many people are of tho opinion that there has already boon ono too many this year. Tho territory of Alaska has elected a delegate to the United States congress. This is a little premature, for the bent doos not yot exist, but tho Alaskans hope that congress will at once make provis ion for tho logal reception of their repre sentative. A silvcr-t ngued Kentucky orator once proclaimed, in explaining a local political upheaval, that "there are times when the popular heart takes tho bit in its leoth." This seems to havo been ono of those times in Kansas, and in some other quarters as well. Tho United States have ?7f..")00 miles of telegraph wire, and in 18S0 no less .ban ."iG.000,000 mestagos wero sent ihrougfi the country. France has 220, 90 miles of wire, on which in 1889 wero transmitted 30.0.0,000 dispatches. Great Biitainhas 1SO.O00 miles of metal line, and in 18NJI M-nt r,i),O00,0u0 messages. Some industrious citizens of the United Slates appear to havo undertaken to demolish the standing of big men of tho country. Ono of them has now reached Robert Fulton, of steamboat fame, and it begins to look as if Robert, as an in ventor of that useful article, will havo to goto tho rem The evidence in this case is documentarj-. It appeara in a newspaper, which is prima facie proof that it can't bo wrong. Mr. Thomas Mc Andrews, a reputable lawyer of Nash ville, has papers to establish, boyond a doubt, that Edward West, at Lexington, Ky., in tho year 1797, invented and put in operation a steamboat fully six years before Fulton had perfected his ideas. The paper is a copy of tho Western Spy and Hamilton Gazette, bearing dato of August 11, 1801, which gives an ac count of this pioneer steamboat. The paper says that West, who was the father of tho famous painter, went to Lexington from Virginia in lTSo. Ho was an educated watchmaker, and spent all his time on steam machines. Ho in vented the first nail-cuttimr machine ever made, and sold it for $10,000. It tells of the trial trip of West's new boat on Elkhorn Creek, at Lexington, in 1793. A patent was obtained, but the boat was not heard of again until 1S01, when it was taken to Cincinnati and created a sensation. Mr. McAndrews is equipped with cor roborating testimony in the shape of an article in the Lexington, (Ky.) Gazette of eipru u, loio, wmen mentions n now boat designed to ply as far as New Or leans, and adds that "it works on a plan invented by Mr. West nearly twenty years ago, and in a manner different from any other steamboat now in use." The models of AVest were destroyed, it seems, when the British captured Wash ington in the war of 1812. The steamboat named tho "Clermont," on which tho fame of Fulton rests, did not mako her trial trip up the Hudson until August, 1S07. It will bo remem bered that Fulton's invention raised up a noisy multitude to dispute its originality, and that he was almost impoverished by litigation to defend it. The claims of Mr. AVest are a trifle late in arriving on tho stage of his tory, but they deserve to be honestlv sifted. Thee points are suggested for tho con s deration and investigation of enterpris ing gentlemen who will constitute tho passenger list of the Salt river fleet that weighs anchor this morning. A timely topic, for their meditation. be placed the blame for the condition of affairs generally, and for the unfortunate results that accrued from the inhannony, is still fairly a matter of doubt. The smirching of reputations that has been undertaken by Barttelot's brother, by Stanley aud by Troup, will doubtless be followed by the efforts of other members of the expedition; but whether anything will bo absolutely settled thereby re mains to be seen. And to what good end will bo all this dispute? Stanley's position as the great est African explorer of thi3 generation, if not of all time, is too firmly established to be harmed by accusations or even proved charges of unfair treatment of his subor dinates. Success is its own justificjtion. btanley went into Africa to bring out Emin Pasha, and possibly even to secure the German's stock of ivory. He made a wonderful march, and has contributed much toward the ultimate subluxation of Africa. He may have been severe, dictatorial, even unreasonable if you will; he may have made many and serious mistakes; but the fact remains that he accomplished what he set out to do. Everything that is said to the detrac tion of Stanley may be true; we can reas onably presume that much of it at least is true and will bo substantiated. But granted all that, what good reason have the subordinate officers to complain? They knew Stanley and the serious ness of the work before them. Thev en gaged themselves freely, nay, eargerly, for the work, and if they did not find the African wilds a bed of roses or their self chosen commander an angel in disguise, they should not now complain. They were undoubtedly brave and capable men, each in his own way, and whatever their shortcomings may have been, they are joint partakers in all the glory that may attach to the success of their joint labors. They should be satisfied with that. Recriminations are worse than useless now. They will prove nothing more than is generally understood already, and they will not add to the reputation of any one connected with the expedition. It is a very foolish, unnecessary and prontless controversy. SUNFLOWER SHIMMER. That rich iiHn rarely lose anything by having their wealth dkciiKM'd by the public, is soon in the can ot thelato "Bo nanwf' Flood, of California. Mr. Flood's wealth Iirs boon guessed at all tho wav from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000. The ex ecutors of tho will lmvo jiit-t settled :o-i-ounto with the court, and ask to be dis charged. The total value of the estate was found to be 2,?8").4S7. If congress at its next session will undo a portion of -vvhnt it did during its last Reunion, at least to the extent of nmemliug the silver law so as to give the country free coinage, and modify the tariff law so as to conform it to tho popular notion of roform, and then let the elections bill severly alone, the lost ground may Iw retrieved. Otherwise the country may expect a repetition of lbb2-l. its no use to kick. Discretion is tho better part of valor. The truly courageous can always afford to ac knowledge an error, and will abvavs make effort to correct it. Germany employs fl,500,000 women in industrial pursuits, England 4,000,000, Franco y,7.")0,000 and Austrio-Hungary about the same number, aud still women are the weaker sex, the lesser half, the clingiug pensioners on man's beneficence. If tho Democrats have won the np-cr.rvm Kress the blame lies at the door of Senator muuy and other liepu Unean senators who rviuseu to allow the Federal election bill to pn. Eniiwria Republicaa. In view of the changes in the congres sional districts in northern statos whore in the Demwrats win to have made largo gaiite, while there- has been little or no change in the southern statos, it would t-com that if the measure mention ed had any effect at all it was to bring out a protobt against its enactment. Our notion is that another measure Mwt was passed by the last session of congress had a good deal more to do with bringing nbout the ltssults. A New York jwper figures out that over two million dollars was distributed to winners as the result of horse racing last year, and calls it "f rtunes on the turf." The Baltimore American obssrves that "nothing is said about the misfor tunes of the men who furnished the money for distribution. The other fel lows can tell you about them.'' And how much better is it in regard to the fortunes and misfortunes of politics in tho same connection? The amount placed upon tho turf issues is but a baga telle, alas, compared to that predicated upon tho verdict of the ballot box. All threo of AVichita's congressional candidates Hallowell, Perkins and Mc Coyare left in tho turene. It's too confounded bad; but the Princess will try to stand it, if tho bnlance of the county can. Railroad managers aro nearly unani mous in ascribing the chief causo of the steady decline in earnings to the obstacles interposed by tho interstato commerce law in the way of making pooling ar rangements. So unanimous is this testi mony that tho matter will probably 1m brought to tho attention of congress. If it is tha Ixxly can aud should tako prompt measures to remedy tho trouble by squeezing the water of the stocks. AVith this done the margin of profits will not only apjear to be, but will be largo enough. There is no use talking, tho country is tired to surfeit of so much up ishnoss. AWve got to sail lower, or stop sailing. WOMEN IN THE CHURCH. From the Kaunas City Star. The issue of allow ing women represen tation in the general conference of the Methodist church is again up, and the vote which has been taken on this question in the various Methodist churches through out the land is largely favorable to the proposition, as it ought to be. The Christian church in general, and the Methodist church in particular, owe their vitality to the earnestness and zeal of their female membership. Tho women not only outnumber the men in all of tho churches, but they outdo them in good works and surpass them in devotion to Christian duty. There are thousands of men within the pale of the church today who would not be there if they had not been brought into the ark of safety by their wives and mothers and sisters. They have been "snatched as brands from the burning" by the sweet and gracious influences which are being exorcised by good women in all of the relations of life. The women of the Methodist church are certainly deserving of the recogni tion which they claim at tho hands of tho ereneral conference. John Wesley never sympathized with the apostle in tho idea that women should keep silent, and even Paul, with all of his dyspeptic ideas about the sex, com- inenued Phebo to the brethren, admon ishing them to "receive her in the Lord as becometh saints, and to assist her in whatsoever business sho hath need of you." In Iiko manner ho commended Priscilla and Mary, "who bestowed much labor upon the apostles." The active participation of women in the means of grace has always been a distinguishing feature of the 'Methodist polity. They "lead in prayer," testify m the class meetings, exhort at tho altar and even preach with as much acceptability as men. and. tr ner- ally speaking, with more unction and sincerity. In tho work of devisinc ways and means for the material support "of the church tho women are always in stant, in season and out of season, and all the ingenuity of their fertile brains is constantly taxed in carrying on this labor of love. Tho soc'al features of modern religion which invest the churches with such a strong power of attraction are almost wholly tho result of woman's work and would rapidly fall into decay without their energizing efforts. The women of the Methokist church have proved fully equal to every duty and obligation which has ever been im posed upon them, and they aro abundant ly fitted by a system of reugious training which develops liberty of utterance, cultivates self reliance and familiarizes them with questions of ecclesiastical jKjliey, to exercise a voice in the general conference. Whp killed Cock Robinson? The farmers were "sot" on an idea. Senator Ingalls runs ahead of every thing. Dan Anthony has scored another bril liant defeat. Charles Robinson is still the first gov ernor of Kansas. The Peoples' party is in-tense. ATill-its and Is-its for example. The Alliance's great poll seems to have knocked the per-Simpson. Now the police commissioners will prob ably all be turned over again. How distant the next legislature must seem to the defeated politicians. Thanks to the Alliance, politics in Kan sas is getting to be "some pumpkins." There were a few men out yesterday morning claiming that the country was saved. It is not probable that Senator Plumb will take Bill McKinley's defeat as a com pliment. Sam Peters probably wouldn't say so, but his feelings must be somewhat com plicated. In some districts in Kansas it frosted heavily Tuesday morning and was snow ing by night. It appears very much like the persim mons were not the only thinks that were knocked this election. If the early reports are correct it looks like there was no little "robbing son" going on over in Fort Scott. Any number of men reason it out logic ally that if they hadn't lost their heads, they would still have their hats. Grant township, Robinson's home, gave Humprey a majority of one. Willitts was beaten worse than that at his home. "God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." That is probably why Eugene AVare was beaten for the nomination. AVith so much scratching and so much vest-pocketing, it has been confirmed in Knnsas this year that tho vote is a sacred "write." In tho next congress it will not be pos sible to find all the Kansas congressmen grouped together in the ayes or Nays, as the case may be. Voltaire once said that England had a revolution every eight years. Voltaire would have called the United States an iridescent dream. J. R. Burton says he has sifted the mat- to the bottom and found thac J. 2s. Ives, opposition candidate for attorney general, is a fictitious person. Inexperienced people are very liable to regard "selection" aud "election" as syn onomous terms. The election does not al ways fall upon the select. As Ben Clover has been a miller and has the reputation of a barn-burner, ho ought not to have any trouble in providing him self with sack-cloth and ashes. A good many of the "roosters" you will see this week in the successful campaign organs will be borrowed from tho esteem ed contemporary across the street, that didn't get there. J. F. Keeney, who founded AVakeeney, one of the boom towns in western Kansas in 1S7S, is now the half ownerof a bir$200, 000 hotel now going up on Rush street, Chicago. Keeney was a Chicago man when he founded AVakeeney. He led a colony of Chicago people to Treffo county, but the hardships of frontier life were too much for tho city-bred people. After one season of hot winds and .crop failure the Chicago colonists lied. J. F. Keeney fol lowed them and has resided iu Chicago ever since, where ho has made money. AVakeeney still remains a small village on the Union Pacific, Trego county being the only county in the state showing a falling off in population since 1SS0. Boggy. North Bogsry, Blue, Salt Fork Red river, North Fork Red river, Elm Fork Red river. From the naming of so many tributaries after tho main channel one sees the natives' limited vocabulary. Oklahoma City Journal: On Saturday fnlly a hundred able bodied negroes ap- Slied to the trustees for aid. On the same ay several notices could be seen posted over the city asking for cotton pickers in the Chickasaw nation. In Norman on that day planters from across the river were offering cotton pickers a dollar a hundred, the usual price beinsr seventy-five cents, and yet their cotton was wasting for want of help to pick it. These negroes who ap ply for aid h re all cotton pickers, and can pick their 200 pounds a day easily. Why should they be object of charity while there is such a spbnuid opportunity offered them for making an honest living? The issue of rations to that class of persons ousht to be stopped and what is left of the $47,000 worth of rations saved for the sick and helpless. AN UNPRECEDENTED SALE -OF- Ti (HMD m MM! VFR0: Do Noc Affiliate. From the Fort Worth Gazette. The Rev, Dr. AVoodrow, who has per sistently endeavored to maintain rela tionship with the Presbyterian church i of evolution, litis been finally refused by the Charleston presbytery." The doc trine of total depravity and the primor dial germ theory do not affiliate. Reversing the Order of Nature. From the Emporia Republican, The Kansas City Star says that after the election Kansas people "will die and get married and be born just as they did before." That may bo the order of pro gression in Missouri but it is not in Kan sas. Over here they are born and get married and die. An Unhappy Ruler.
