MCUDOCK, IMitor. There has been entirely too much cli mate to the cubiG inch the last two days. AH congress can possibly do is to fol low Cleveland up closely with a bucket of whitewash. The pounding wheat has undergone for a long time may put it in condition to come out on top. The Populists have now completed all arrangements for their grand farewell campaign in Kansas. The business of suow shoveling yester day Bhows an increase over the same day last year of 100 per cent. The singularity of the Oklahoma state hood movement during the last three weekp, is that it doesn't move. Posterity has much in store for it. Among other things it will see the Coughlin trial atCliicago completed. It is wrong to accuse Peffer of talking through his hat. Those who have heard him sav that he talks through his nose. Yesterday was Lincoln's bhlhday. Flis name will never die, at least not as longaswehave presidents like Grover Cleveland. - Iirigation is all right, but eight or ton inches of snow is very fine moisture, as well as the best kind of feitilizsr for growing wheat. Wichita has now about all the freight lates thatbhe has asked fir and only lacks the all important part of having them put in effect. Ingalls may be out of politics, but ho remains the only man in Kansas who can make coneclions in AVebstei's Una bridged dictionary. It has been discoveied that judges are exempt fiom an income tax. TJieio will bo a prodigious kick to include the majors and the colonels. Those who have not engaged in a game of college football will have tome diffi culty in forming an idea of tiio real hor rois of a Russian exile's life. Senator Mm tin is repotted to be sky lai king around Washington in a swallow-tail coat. Ordinal ily a martin is a biid, but not ofteu is it a cuckoo. Chairman Wilson 6toppcd over with the Cliff Dwellers lor a day or two, to Btudy the effect of the tariff bill, buttho odor was too much for him and he took to his bed. Lewelhng tried to play a little game of "heads I win, tails you lose," with Mrs. Lease, but she held the coiguo of vantage and won. It was the governor that was too flip. If the Salvation Ai my of Chicago suc ceeds in getting the devil beforo it, Gov ernor Waite might see him and find out if there aio any signs of a freeze yet in the torrid whence. The advocates of the Wilson bill only claim that it will not bust this country. The mobt enthusiastic do not say that Ihero is any pailicular amount of pios perity secreted about it. Counting all of them there are fifteen pockets in the masculine dress. This is entirely too many, but tho custom spiang up during tho times of Republi can plenty and it hangs on. Answer to correspondent; No, dia monds are not usually in good form in tho morning, though men liavo been known to lake in a jackpot as early as 2 a. m., with a full hand of them. Carlisle, b making a loan, has brought iho reserve up to tho $100,000,000 maik. Now if the administration could bring commcice, which is S3 per cent below normal, up to par they might keep the Democratic patty fiom going into the bands of a receiver. Tho story fiom Lincoln. 111?., relating the conspiracy of two girls to blow up a jail and free their lover, is all right prob nbly excepting that part where it fails to tell how tho girls expected to blowup an nble-bodied jail without knocking the smithereens out of all the prisoners. The Topeka Journal btill manifests a lack of Abrahamic faith in successful ir ngation for western Kansas by asking here is tho water to come from? That is discounting both the undeiflow and the genius of tho lainmaker, between which bources tho susceptiblo expect silver linings, clouds or no clouds. A New Yoik barber gives two hours eveiy afternoon to shaving unemployed men free. IIo says a man cleanly sha ven has n much belter chance to secure a position than v hen he is l.ot. This is probably truo of eveiything everywhere hut before an Alliance legislature during the election of a United Stales senator. What with the dischaige of the duties of the president of the t-tate board of charities, and looking after the interests of her clients at law, Attorney Mary E. Lease will be kept too busy for a time to flo much campaign work. But the S'Ufceof tho campaign, at least is not liablo to suffer much on that account. In referring to the act of congress re pealing the federal election laws, which had been in existence for nearly twenty live years, the Kansas City Gazette says that in tho north those laws have been effectivo in preventing frauds, while "in the bouth they have been nullified. As a rule the statement is correct, yet there have Jen some notorious exceptions The most conspicuous one, perhaps, is in Now York city. Tammany has set the law at defianco and uuiforraly re sponded with as largo majorities as were required to overcome tho Republican vote of the state outsido of tho metro polis and adjacent municipalities. Chi cago and some other lesser cities have been held as Democratic strongholds by the same proeess. It is but fair to give the devil hh due. 5aitijr NAKEDNESS AND POCKETS. Men sometimes take action and form judgment from indistinct influences rather than logical reasons. It is possible that the United States senators rejected St. Gawden's medal with a naked young man upon it, on some such grounds. It is not right to charge tho rejection to prudery. It is equally unfair to lay it upon a lack of artistic completeness in the drawing. The young gentleman is all there. Ilowever, it is possible that the medal's downfall came indirectlv from a strong sentiment which demands pockets. The pocket is part of the modern man. It is as important as his finger or his leg. Men can live and grow fat with a finger and leg gone, but imagine the fin di siecle male trying tostruggle through life without a pocket! In fact, clothes may, after all, be only an auxiliary to pockets. It has never been proved satisfactorily, that primeval pur ity knew shame or had to know it. It has always seemed more probable that it is a conventional whim-wham, and clothes were invented to buoy it up. Still, it has always seemed impossible that a conventional crochet should last so many centuries. There is much likelihood, again, that clothes were adopted as a means of bear ing small bin dens. It was not until a later day that the invention became a means of exploiting vanity, and the su perfluous cloth, which is not actually needed in joining tho pockets together, made its appearance. The argument that apparel was originally biought into use to protect the body against the elements, is not taken into consideration here. It is weak, at best. Tho face is always bare, and suffers very little, or, as the naked Hindoo eaid in London: "Why don't I freeze? Ah, because I am all face!" The pocket bears out the belief that clothes were iuvented for it. It has be come a necessity. Eveiy ono has its use, fiom the secretive hip-pocket to tho watch-pocket. The greater pait of the small letail business of the country is conducted tluough the pocket, and, without it, even thing would he done on the dangeious system of credit. It must have been thi3 subtle fidelity to the pocket that influenced the senatois in squelching a young man who had none, and was bold enough to be set up as a representation of America, a nation whore the pocket is in its most advanced state. Ifmusfc havo been. ALLEGED VS. REAL. OBJECTIONS. The opponents of statehood for tho Indian Territory, whether single or double, set up'two reasons why it should not be done. One is that Oklahoma can not support a state government alone and tho Indian portion nor the stiip would add anything in the way ol taxes for the present nor for some time. Tho other is that the people do not want statehood now. As to the first reason it is enough to say that a tax of one-fourth of one per cent on the properly of Okla homa and the strip, which is estimated worth 40,000,000, would yield $100,000, which amount would be ample for tho needs of tho new state to begin with, and there is no sort of doubt that the increase in wealth, under statehood, would more than compensate tho in crease in expenses of the government as the growth and development of the state progressed. The second reason is a mere assumption. An enabling act passed by congiess authorizing the peo ple of the territory to fiame a constitu tion does not make a state. The con stitution so framed must first bo ratified by the people of tho proposed state at a popular election, and if adopted then submitted to congress for its ratification. If tho people object to statehood all they would need to do would bo to reject tho constitution at the polls, and that would end the matter for two years at least. Thus the alleged objections to statehood for Oklahoma and the territory dissolve into thin air. There is objection, though, and of a substantial character. There are white men laigely interested in caltlo who get big profits every season fiom grazitig their heids on the Indian lands, and still others who realize large incomes from other lands through cultivating them by cheap labor and by manipulating the land piivileges from year to year. State hood would let both of these classes out of situations that pay big profits at other people's expense. This is the real ground of opposition. But to accept and act upon it, or rather refuse to act iu defer ence to such demands, would be to fur ther grant special privileges to a few to the sacrifice of the rights of many. If the privilege of expiessmg their wishes and desiies in this matter shall bo denied the people of tho territory, a great wrong amounting to an outrage will bo perpe trated upon an intelligent and spirited, yet helpless community. KANSAS POPULATION. Secretary Coburn of tho state board of agticulture has just completed a com putation of statistics from the reports of county assessors for 1S93, showing the population of cities and towns above oOO. There are 176 such municipalities in tho state. A comparison of the fig ures with those of tho previous year shows that of the ninety-seven towns and cities then having a population of 1,000 or more, sixty-two have made a gain in tho number of inhabitants. Wichita and Kansas City both show an increase, while Topeka shows a slight falling off dining the year. This showing set- at rest the oft re peated assertion during the past Tear or more that the stato was losing heavily in population. Some have gone, but more have come to take their places. The point of encouragement iu this exhibit is, if our population has increased dur ing such a season of depression and loss of people by the opening of the strip as we experienced last year, what may we not hope for m tho way of accessions when the pressure is removed and fairly good times return, as is the pioniise for the near future? If Topeka hesitates much longer about tht woolen mill it is to be feared that the Wilson, tariff will have discounted erery promise made by ttie dam builders. Fort Scott Monitor. On the contrary, the Wilson tariff was no doubt the original piompting of the woolen mill move, and it will be fol lowed by others, as a matter of self defense, if the Wilson bill becomes the tariff law.

HUMAN LIFE AND GOLD. Prophecy is at all times arrogant. It is foolish for any man to try to toll what the futuie holds oi to base predictions on tho observations in the past. Still it does seem that the present rank cupidity of the world will some day bring down a penalty that will bo world wid". Money is a necessity and harmless to a certain extent, but when it overrides all human instincts and tramples life and happiness under foot ia its efforts to accumulate, its course is tyrranic and it can not escape retribution. A scoio of men are imprisoned on Roncadare reef. They are weakened by thirst and hunger and cling desperately to the rocks, washed and beaten by tho great waves of the ocean. Their rescue is an easy matter. Lieutenant Brainard attempted to secure the City of Para, steamship, to go out and rescue the men. The ship was bound by a charter. Its business was to make money, not to rescue perishing sailors. In sentiment, human life is above everything else, as it should be. In fact, human life is becoming of less and less moment, particulaily when the issue is made directly between it and greed for money. The tiend of the present age is un doubtedly to be moie humane. But that advancements met and fought at every step with the scramble for money. It is unfair to charge the United States and its citizens with monopolizing this fault. Other countries are as eager and as un relenting in giaBpiug money, as this nation is. But it cannot continue with out mtoting punishment. When it comes, it will be swift and rigorous. NOT EGGS ACTLY. When the farmers bring in their eggs and find that tbey are worth only 10 cents a dozeu instead of 20 cents us a ye.ir ago, tbey realize that it makes a difference whether the millions of laboring people aro employed at good wages or are de pendent on charity for a living. People don't live on 20 cenf eggs when they are out of employment. Concordia Empire. No, indeed! And they don't live on 20 cent eggs in Kansas when there is an open winter, nleuty ot feed and industri ous hens. Say, old Rooster, ever think of that? Givo them an open winter, decent feed and good shelter and the Kansas hen illustrates the law of supply and demand. Atchison Champion. Don't cackle so loud; you are liable to frighten the whole flock. Say, prime coukiel, what's tho matter with this winter as to openness? And yet, here abouts, the femalo portion of the barn yard brood have been utterly indifferent to tho demands of the larder, although they have laid by the most decent feed in abundance, and sheltered by adequate protection. Tho demand for tho pro duct is good, which is natural; the pi ice is low, which is readily account able: but the supply is below normal, which is unaccountable. IMPORTANT TO RAILWAY EMPLOYES The state supreme court, in the case of Aaion S. Drake vs. the Southern Kansas railway, appealed fiom Fianklin county, decides that "an employe possessed of a full knowledge of the service to bo performed by him and of the dangeis which they involve, who voluntarily ac cepts the employment and continues in the service of the employer, will gen erally be held to have assumed the risk of the hazards of such service and to have absolved his employer fiom liabili ty for damages in case of injury.'' Drake was employed as a laborer about the shops in Franklin county, and was in jured while unloaning rails from a "push car.' Ho sued the company and got a verdict for $100, but the judgement of the trial court is reversed. This 6eems to have been a case where the employe contributed, to the extent of carelessness at least, to his own in jury, in which event it was not just that the company should bo required to compensate for damages that it had no possible way of averting. Populist Smith of Kansas City has been arrested and will stand trial. Like a true nineteenth century man he has called a woman to his defense Mrs. Lease. Virtuous Under Constraint. From the Emporia KepnMlcan. One of thefavo.it8 populistic attacks on the truth is the assertion that the present secretary cf state is turning over the fees of his office, while his Republi can predecessor retained them. Under tho old law tbe secretary of state was paid $ 2,000 and fees. Tbe legislature of 1S9D. by a bill introduced by Bent 3Iur dock, the Republican senator from But ler, changed the law so as to increase the salary to 2,300 per year and give the fees to the state. Therefore the change should be credited to the Repab- j lican senate ot isiw, and not to the Pop secretary of state, who can't help himself. TRUTH IS MIGHTY. From the Detroit Free Press. As the train emerged from a deep and rocky cut it glided out upon a long and high trestle work which carried the tracks over two ravines and a swamp. The man whom we all took to bo a drummer for a sarsaparilla factory looked out and down and shuddered' Then he drew three or four whiffs on his cigar and shuddered some more. "A little nervous, eh?" queried one of the crowd. "Yes, and I have cause to be," was the reply. "Then you've been over this place be fore?" "Yes, two years ago. I feel as weak as a woman. Gentlemen, excuse me while I take a nip of brandy." "Did the train break through?" asked one of the group, after he had "nipped" and restored the bottle. "Xo. Ah! thank heaven, we are over at last! All of you please take notice of that house among the trees, and also remember the little town we passed through about a mile back. My uncle Reuben lives there in that house. I was here on a visit to him and went over to the post office after my mail. I took the highway in going, but to make a short cut I took the track on my return. I hesitated some time at the trestle, but finally started to cross. Just wait a minute. I have it all down here in my note-book. When I tell you a thing for a fact I like to have the proofs. The trestle is eighty eight feet high in the center. I had just reached the center when " . "When you saw a train?'1 "Yes; I had reached the center of the trestle when I heard the whistle of a locomotive, and a moment later caught sight of a freight train rounding the curve. There was only one possible way of escape."' "It was a terrible situation." "It was, I find I have it down here in my book as 'T. S.,' which stands for terrible situation. Thank you, sir, for rour appreciation!" "You did not leap to the ground be low?" "Xo, sir. If I had it would have been jotted down here, which it isn't. I did not lose my presence of mind. Dropping down between the cross pieces, I swung with my feet and hung on with my hands. You can judge of a, man's feelings with almost a hundred feet of space between his feet and a great mass of jagged rock."ia "Great spoons! but you must have suffered a thousand deaths." "Let me see. No, I Aid not. I have it down here, and I only buffered 750 deaths. I don't want to lay claim to 250 deaths to which I have no legal right. When I tell a story, I tell it ex actly as things happened. I hung there, swaying to and fro." "And the train passed over j'ou?" "Well, no, it didn't I should have, nade a note of it if such had been the :ase. I hung there for seventeen long minutes minutes which seemed never jnding to me." "You lived a month in those few ninutes." "Nat quite a month. I have it down that I lived only twenty-six days, and I lon't want anything that doesn't be long to me." "But did it take the train seventeen ninutes toi.-pass over you?" persisted '.he inquirer. 'Oh, no."- 'Then how was it?" "Why, the train side-tracked at the ther side, you see, and I hung on until )ne of the brakemen walked out to me md said if I wasn't in the circus busi ness to stay, I'd better get out of that." "But I don't exactly see." "Oh, there isjiothing to see. I got jff the bridge all right, with three aours to spare before another train Mine along. I was very much obliged to the brakeman very much. I might have hung there all day, you know res, I have it down here in my book that I was V. M. O., which means very much obliged. I am not a nervous man by nature, but can you wonder that I ihudder and grow weak in the kneer ivhenever I pass over this trestle?" No one said a word for a long min- te. Then the questioner softly jueried: "That was a true story, wasn't it?" "As true as truth itself," was the sol- imn reply. "Well, it was a mighty poor Btory, ind this crowd doesn't want any more like it If you can't tell a lie get out o' nere and give your room to a man who tan."- CENTS ARE ODD. From the Now York Herald. From time to time one sees references in the daily papers, referring to the difficulty experienced by the ferry com panies, car lines, etc, in disposing of enormous accumulations of ordinary copper cents. The reader is very apt to remember this, particularly if in ex change for a dollar bill he is returned ninety-five one-ceut pieces by a con ductor. As a matter of fact, there is no excuse for the item, much less for a car con ductor or change taker in unloading his weight of copper upon the always more or less abused passenger. The United States sub-treasury, at Wall and Nassau streets, makes, and has made it a practice for years, of ex changing minor coin for United States money of large denomination, and it has many regular customers who are so served. There are a number of curious things about cents as they come to the sub trcasury. In the first place, they are quite extensively counterfeited. This may seem strange, as the profit in a counterfeit cent is necessarily small. It is true, however, nevertheless, and is supposed to be the work of Italians, who, more largely than any other na tionality, seem to favor the imitation of our minor and subsidiary coin. The Brooklyn and New Jersey ferry companies, the elevated railroads ol both New York and Brooklyn and the various slot machine companies are regular customers for the exchange ol cents for other money at the snb-trea j urr. At times tncy turn in enormous quantities, the slot companies alone ranging between one hundred and twenty-five dollars and seven hundred dollars a day. As might "be expected, all sorts oi oddities in the way of coin come in with the quantity taken in the ma chines. In addition to the counterfeits are scores of "not one cents" of war time. metal discs and foreim copper, Austrian money predominating. As the copper cent is simply a token, no mat ter what its condition is, it is redeemed at par if it can in any way be identi fied as United States money. The popularity of the slot machine a. jTai; as ma .tza tirana-fat aboai a curious condition of affairs' ffi the country. This was nothing short of a "cent famine."- The headquarters oi the company is in New York,-and all the agents sent their cents here for redemption, which, drained the coun try of its supply and overstocked the minor coin vaults of the sub-treasury here with cents.' TAKING OOl- PARENTS. From tilt) New York Tribune. Persons who are likely to apply for a patent would do well to cut out and preserve the following instructions: (1) Write to the commissioner of patents, Washington. D. C, requesting a copy of the "Utiles of Practice," which he will send free. Then care fully read from page 9 to page 17, about the articles which may be patent ed, and the form of application and drawings. In another part of the pam phlet there are specimen applications and drawings. (2) Prepare an application in accord ance with the rules, make or procure drawings such as the patent office re quires, make oath to your papers and send to the commissioner of patents with fifteen dollars. This is the first government fee. .Later, if you receive notice that a patent will be issued, then, a second government fee of twen ty dollars must be paid. (3) Some people are able to prepare their own papers and drawings prop erly; but those who are not consult a lawyer and employ a draughtsman. Patent law'crs' charges vary according to the importance of the case; but they seldom ask less than twenty or thirty dollars, and sometimes more, besides the cost of the drawings. (4) If an inventor is afraid that some one will steal his idea before he can put it in shspe he can protect himseli in two ways. First, he can make out a paper called a "Caveat," and send tc the commissioner of patents. This document briefly describes his inven tion, and declares that he has not yet perfected it. It will be good for a year, if no one else has gotten ahead of him; and it may be renewed for another year. The caveat is described on pages 52 and 53 of "Rules of Practice," and a specimen caveat is given further along in that publication. A fee of ten dol lars must be paid to Uncle Sam for each year a caveat is in force. An other way to guard one's rights is to tell a trusty friend about the exact fnature of the pro posed invention, and have that friend make a record of the datr, so that, if necessary, he can swear to it, and thus prove priority of invention, ii some one else wrongfully claims the credit. This plan is as good as any other. (5) Some inventors take the precau tion to have an expert in Washington search the patent office files, to discov er whether anj'body has already pat ented his idea. Such experts can be liired for between two dollars and five dollars. (6) If a person can not easily raise the money to pay the government and his attorney, he can sometimes sell a quar ter or a half of his right to a manufac turer or other person for enough tc cover the necessary outlay. In ordei to perfect the invention, some expense for material and experiment is often incurred; and this, perhaps, can be met in the same way. If no lawyer or manufacturer is willing to advance a cent for this purpose, the inventor may well doubt the value of his idea. Money is often wasted by patenting a worth less article PULLING A 'IQOTH. riom the Washlnslon Post. One of the guests at the Riggs house recently was complaining of an aching tooth, and inquired at the office where he could find a good dentist lie se cured the information and went out to find relief, when Proprietor DeWitte smiled at a funny reminiscence. "I shall never forget a tooth-pulling incident that occurred when I was a j'oungstcr," he remarked. "My uncle, who was a physician, had a great, big, stalwart colored man for a servant His name was Huck, and one day he went into his master's office and com plained that one of his teeth was near ly killing him. My uncle advised him to go and have it taken out. Uuck ob jected. 'Naw, indeed3', boss,' he ex claimed, 'hit vud dess fairly kill me ter hab dis toof jucked ort1 My uncle then told him he would fix it for him by using a little magic Buck was equipped with all the superstition of his race, and he readily acquiesced in the sug gestion, for he thought the doctor could do anything. The old gentle man took the small string from his violin, and, making a loop, dropped it over Buck's aching tooth and drew it taut Then he led, Uuck out to the h itching-post, and made him stand on his tip toes, which brought his eyes on a level with the top of the post, and tied the catgut around it Upon the flat surface of the top he poured some gunpowder, and then solemnly warn ing Buck not to move, he returned to the house. Suddenly he came rushing out of the kitchen door with a glow ing coal of fire held in a pair of tongs. Uuck saw him coming and backed for all he was worth- But he left that tooth ia front of him."
