We, the Republicans of Sedgwick coun ty, in convention assembled, again renew our allegiance to the great party of prog ress and human liberty, whoso name we bear, whose traditions we honor, and whose principles we love; and we recall with pride and confidence the fact that the Republican party, first organized to vindi cate the rights of man, has ever been mind ful of the wishes and desires of the people and prompt to respond, to every reasonable demand. "Wo recognize that agriculture is the great industry of Kansas, upon the pros perity of which the welfare of all classes of our people depends, and we insist that the interests of the farmers shall be a foremost consideration in all legislation and that every demand made by this great and im portant element of our people shall receive the most prompt attention at the hands of the state legislature. "VYb believe that the discrimination in freight rates, by railroad corporations de riving their franchises from the state of Kansas, against the people of thi3 state and in favor of communities elsewhere, is an evil demanding the immediate atten tion of our law makers, and the most prompt and rigorous legislation to re press it. We also insist that at least one member of the state board of railroad commission ers Ehould be a practical farmer and that Bufflcient power should be lodged in the commission to enable it to enforce prompt compliance with its decisions. We faror the most liberal pensions for our veteran soldiers, the free and unlim itcd coinage of silver, and as large a reduc tion of the tariff as the necessities and ob ligations of the government will permit without impairing the principle of protec tion to American labor, and we instruct our senator and representatives to vote for no man for United States senator who is not sound upon every one of thee proposi tions. We congratulate our fellow citizens upon the fact that in recent contests in congress over the question of free coinage of silver, the delegation from Kansas stood like a solid rock for free coinage and the known wishes of their constituents, and we note with pride that the leader of the f riendR of free coinage in the senate was a Kansas Republican; while we also note the fact that the most prominent and inveter ate enemy of free coinage in America is the leader and patron saint of Democracy Grover Cleveland. Wo favor the resubmission of the pro hibitory amendmeut to a vote of the peo ple: and, while we recognize an honest difference of opinion among Republicans as to tho wisdom and efficiency ot prohibi tion as a temperance measure, wo believe that upon the right of the people to vote upon so vital an issue, no true Republican can entertain an honest doubt, and urge upon the coming legislature its submis sion to the people at the earliest practica ble date Ana we instruct our delegates to tho next state convention at Topeka to labor to secure a resubmission plank in the Republican state platform; and we also instruct our senators and representa tives from this county to vote for and sup port a resolution to submit the prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people. We favor a most liberal representation of this state and a generous display of its resources at the world's fuir to be held in 1892, and we urge upon the legislature to enact without delay broad and comprehen sive legislation looking to this end. We believe the enactment of a nationnl bankruptcy law is a matter of vital inter t'st to this state, and we request Senators Ingalls and Plumb to use every effort to secure the passage of such a measure at the earliest possible date. Wo endorse to the fullest extent the principles of reciprocity in our commercial relations with other nations so ably advo cated by Hon. James G. Blaine, and we believe that t he broad ami comprehensive American policy outlined by that distin guished Republican statesman i- equally calculated to develop the resources and expand the trade of our country and dig nify American statesmanship in tho eyes of the world. We favor the reduction of the salaries of all public officers to a reasonable limit ami the abolishing of all useless ofliccs. At the last session of the legislature of the state of Kansas the oflico of commis sioner of elections was created in cities of tho first class, and we deem said office to be without benefit to the people and an unnecessary expense, and u therefore earnestly ask that the law creating said oflico be repealed at the coming session of the legislature. e favor an amendment to the mort gage law forbiddint: waiver of appraise ment, securing to the mortgagor a liberal right of redemption after sale, and conlin ing tho lender of money exclusively to his real estate security and wc instruct our beuators and representatives accordingly. That wo demand a revision by our rail road commissioners of the classification of merchandise and rates in our state and de mand sucli classification as will be uni Jorm with that east of tho Missouri river and to bo no greater than tlio-e established by the commissioners of Jowa. We are in favor of the enactment by the next legislature of a law authorizing judg ment debtors to stay execution on all judgments rendered in the district court of the state for a reasonable length of time and under such limitations that will bone fit the debtor class and will not impair the rights of tho creditors. we tender hearty thanks to our fellow Republicans of the Seventh congressional district for tho nomination of our distiii guished fellow citizen. Colonel J. R, Hallo well, as their candidate for congress, and e pledge to him the cordial and united support of the Republicans of Sedgwick county. All tho circumstances of life aro in Eomo sort educative Ileulth and happi ness have their lesson of activo dutv to each us if wo will recoive it, ana so, likewise, have pin, disease and mis fortune, as lately stated by Mr. Spur geon, a purpose of correction, a chasten ing and mellowing influence within them. With some natures and moods perhaps it is otherwise. Tho sharpness of the stroke touches no mental spring but that of self concern, but hero again it is the wise who learns. For him theso evils, for such they still remain, aro also tho seeds of sympathy with others in like trouble. If he bo through any fault of his own accountable for them, they are in true science as in Scripture the natural recompense of evil, a protest on behalf of needful bclf control, which he will do well to observe. There is more, therefore, than an apparent tendency to asceticism in this doctrine of disciplinary Buffering. Of course, it does not follow that the prosperous and the healthy must at some time undergo this training by reverses. The same lessons of imtience, fellow feel ing ami self restraint can bo learned in other ways, and it is quite certain that the daily round and task abound in op lortunitics for such wholesome instruc tion. Wo aro alike justified, therefore, in admitting for this purpose the fre quent utility of pain, and in seeking, to tho best of our ability, to limit and to destroy by suitable remedies the influ ence of this otherwise harsh and hurtful instructor. Health of mind and body and well being of estate aro alone con sistent with perfect life as ordered by nature's plan and the divine will, and every purposo of training is compatible with their full Kssession and their proper use.

All that was necessary was that tho top of my head should be shaved regularly for about six months. I could wear a toupee, or half wig, and nobody would be the wiser, and at the end of sis months my hair would coino out strong and always remain so. I went to a wigmaker and asked him if ho could prescribe a cure for baldness, lie, too, advised shaving tho head. That was exceedingly cheering. Two men of science harmonized. "I bought a toupee of the wigmaker. I remember that I paid $30 for it Then I had my head Bhaved twice a week regularly. Occasional examinations of the top of my head were not very en couraging. But thinking that all would bo well in time I persevered. At the end of six months I was forced to con fess that 1 had less hair than before. Indeed there was no hair at all on the top of my head. Wearing the toupee had kept out the air and killed the roots. I threw the toupee away and philosophically accepted my fate." New York Times. Reverse of French Noblemen. Sad liave been tho reverses of the old French nobihty since Edmund Bnrko penned his splendid eulogy. According to M. Lescure a grandson of that same Marquis d'Hauteroche who chivalrously requested the English troops at the battle of Fontenoy to "fire first" ended his days as a common policeman. Sadder still, from the point of view of the amateurs of "blue blood," one of the noble family of Babou de la Bourdaisiere is now a washerwoman. Representatives of other noble families equally famous in their timo are, or were, according to the same authority, occupying the humble posi tions of gamekeeper, carpenter's appren tice, house painter, cab driver, miller's assistant, innkeeper, conductor of an omnibus, few opener at a theatre, gas man, bathing man, maker of mousetraps, chorus singer at the opera, and wood man, while one, who is a great grand cousin of tho illustrious Cardinal de Retz, unites in his own person the lowly offices of grave digger and village fiddler.

The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, sv Society of Colored People, and John J. Smith, One of Its Most Fromlnent Officers. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Includes almost all of the more intelligent and thrifty colored people in the vicinity of Boston, says The Globe, of that city. It has exerted upon its members a vast amount of influence for good. It is looked upon not only as the largest but as tho only representative order of colored men, not only in New England, but in tho United States. The first lodge in America was ths Philo mathean, 648, and was opened by Peter Ogden in 1S13. It is called the mother of all the other United States lodges. The G. U. O. O. P. in America works un der a dispensation from tho G. U. O. O. F. in England. This is because of the fact that previous to 1641 colored men bad made, applica tion for admission to the L O. O. F., but were refused. However, the or der was started in 1643, and from that one lodge others were insti tuted, until today the lodges in this country are in the threo thousands, and are found in JOHN J. SMITH. every state of tho Union, with the excep tion of the three northern New England states. Lodges hare also been opened in Canada and the West Indies, and 8 taps are about to be taken for the introduction of the order among the people of mixed blood in South America, Mexico and Contral America. The order is divided Into four district houses the Subordinate lodge, Past Grand Master's council, Household of Ruth, and tho Patriarchs. The last is the military branch; the Household of Ruth is the fe male department. The order as a wholo is .governed by a committee of management in England. Their charters, pass words and other works are received from that body. Tho grand master of the order in this country is William M. T Forester, of Rich mond, Va. Four years after the introduction of Odd Fellowship among colored men in this country Bay State lodge, 314, wa opened. Almost from its beginning this lodge was foremost in advancing the rights of the race. At that time colored organiza tions were not permitted to uso Faneuil Hall. In 1S48, when Josiah Quinoy was mayor, the lodge, through his influence and that of many other citizens, celebrated its first anniversary in that halL The hall was crowded. Mayor Quincr was present with his wife, and made nn nd dress, the oration being delivered by John J. Smith. Also at this anniversary were tho delegates to the first biennial session of tho G. U. O O. F. in America. Bay State lodge was also allowed to parade in the procession celebratiug the in troduction of water into Boston in 1549, l'ing thereby the first colored organiza tion to take part in a public demonstration of that kind in Boston. According to the papers of that time con iderab!o excitement was created about this participation. With the exception of John J. Smith all of its founders are dead. John J. Smith is the oldest colored Odd Fellow in New Eng land, not by age, but by membership in tho order. Mr. Smith was born In Richmond, Va., and went to Boston when he was 19 yearn old. Hardly had his feet touched tho streets of Boston when he was found agi tating, in company with Benjamin Roberts, for the cause of his people in Boston. He has served in the Itpublican ward and city committee and in the common coun cil; has been to the legislstare and Berved on several important committees, among which is the committee on federal relations; has been a delegate to tho Republican state convention over twenty timei, and was delegate to the national Republican convention that nominated Gen. Garfield for president. ROYAL ARCANUM. Supremo Resent "Wuft on the Pronperlty of th Ortlor Note.
