wei. Gibbon in his "Rise and Fall of
the Roman Empire," says "Dead!" and
the forsaken seats of the ruined Colise

and the miasma of the Campagna, and
the fragments of the marble baths, and
the useless piers of the Bridge Trium
phalis,aud the Mamertiue prison, hold

the silent Forum, and Basilica of Con

Pantheon come in with great chorus,
crying: "Dead, dead!" After Horace,
after Virgil, after Tacitus, after Cice

and Cincinnatus, the farmer oligarch,

dead. The war eagle of Rome flew so
high it was blinded by the sun and
came whirling down through ihe heav
ens, and the owl of desolation a t
darkness built its nest in the forsaken
eyrie. Mexican empire, dead. French
empire, dead. You see, my friends, it
is no unusual thing for a government to
perish, aud in the same necrology ot
dead nations, and in the same grave
yard of expired governments will go the
I n 1 ted States of America unless there
be some potent voice to call a halt, and
is God In his mercy interferes, and
! n o u gli a puri fled ballot box and a wide-
ad public Christian sentiment the
atas( rophe be averted. This nation is
out to go to the ballot box to exercise
: :glit of suffrago,and I propose toset
: yon t be evils that tbreateu to de
stroy the American government, and to
annihilate American institutions, and
if i;od will htoln inn T will show VOU b
lore I get through the mode in which '
eacn ami every one may do something
toarreHt that appalling calamity. And
I shall plough up the wliol s Iteld.
The first evil r.hat threatens the anni
hilation of our American institutions is
the fact that poli.ical- bribery, whii;h
once was OOOSldei ed a crime, has by
! manv come to be con .idered tolerable
! virtue. There is a legitimate use of
! money in elections, in the printing of
Political tracts, and iii t he hirlnffi.fnnh-
I ii h.n. aA ,
i "",,d " mo umi mug nil-
I paign oratory: but IB there hh h n 'mi.
CttlOB who supposes that this vast "-
; Bwrnnt of money now being raised by
I WW is going in a legitimate direc-
non.' liievast majority of it will go
to buy votes. Hundreds and thousands
of men will have set befon them so
much money for a republican vote and
so much money for a democratic vote,
aud the superior financial inducement
will decide the action. You want to
know which party will carrj .a. i!t
f ul states day after tomorrow? 1 will
I .
tell you. The party that pends the
most money. This moment, while I
speak, the peddlers carr gold from j
Wall street, gold from I itreet,
gold from State aud I tn tn
the Brewers' assc on, are in all the.
political beadqflarters ot the don rul
states, dealing out the infamous in
ducement. There used to be bribery, but it held
its head in shame. It was under the
utmost secrecy that many years ago a
railroad company bouuht up the Wis
cousin legislature and many officials in
that state. The governor of the state
ai mat nine received u u hi tor ins ,r
natnre. Bis private sec ry received
S'j.ooO. Thirteen rn -1 f the sen
ate received $175,000 among them in
bonds. Sixty members of the other
bonse received from $5,000 to $10,000
each. The lieutenant governor received
$l6,000. The clerks ui the house received
from $5,000 to $10,000 each. The bank
comptroller rceived $10,000. Two hun
dred and litty thousand dollar., were di
vided among the lobbyists. You seethe
railroad comany was very generous. But
that was hidden, and only trough the
severest scrutiny on the part of legisla
tive committee w as this iniquity dis
played. Now. political bribery defies
you, dares you. is arrogant, and will
probably decide tl e election next Tues
day. I'nless this diabolism ceases in this
country, BartholdPa statute on Bed
loe's island, with uplifted torch to
light other nations into the har
bor, had better be changed and the
torch dropped as a symbol of univer
sal incendiarism.
Unless this purchase and sale of suff
rage shall cease, the American govern
ment will expire,aud y ou might as we 11 be
get ting ready the, monument for anoth
er dead nation, and let my text inscribe
upon it these words:'-Alas, alas,f or Bab
ylon, that great eity, that mighty c'ty
for in one hour is by judgment oome"
My friends, if yon have not noticed
that political briber Is oie of the
ghastly crimes of this day, you havenot
kept your eyes Open.
Another e-",! threatening th( ruc
tion of American institutions iheso
""r" ins of the sections against each
kher. A solid north. A solid south.
If this goes on we thai!, after 8 while,
have a solid east ; LDSt a soiid west,
we shall have soli a middle states iv
gainst so'id northern states, wo shall
have a solid N'e m York against a solid
Pennsylvania, and a solid Ohio against
a solid Kentucky. It is twenty-sevei
yeais since the war cloud, and et at ev
ery presidential election the old antag
onism is aroused. When Garfield died,
and all the states gathered round his
( asket in sy mpathy and in tears, and as
hearty telegrams ot coud lenc came
from New Orleai and from Carlestoo
as from Boston a : ( bieago, 1 said to
myself : "I think b tonahsmia dead."
Butalas!no. The difficulty will d ver
be euded until each slate of the nation
is split up into two or thiec -real po
litical parties. Thi.4 country can not
exist unless it exists as one
body, the national capuai the, heart,
sending out through ail the arteries ol
communication warmth and lite to the
very extremities. Tins nation can no I
exist uuless a exists as
one family, and you might as
well have solid brothers against . iid
sisters, and a solid bread raj against
a solid cradle, a Bolid nursery against
a solid dining rool and you might as
well have solid ears against solid b es,
and solid head against solid foot. Y hat
is the interest ol Georgia is the inter
est of Massachusetts; what the inter
est of New York is the interest of South
Carolina. Does the Ohio river change
its politics when it gets below Louis
ville? It is not possiUTeTfor these sec
tional antagonisms to continue for a
great many years without permanent
compound fracture.
Another evil threatening the destruc
tion of our Americans institutions is
the low state of public mora is.
What killed Babylon of my text?
What killed Pha nicia? Wiiat killed
Rome? Their own depravity, and the
fraud and drunkenness and the lechery
which have destroyed other nations
will destroy ours t.iiess a merciful God
prevent. To show you the Sow state of
public morals I have to call your atten
tion to the fact that nianv men nomin
ated for offices in different states at dif
ferent times are entirely unfit for the
positions for which they have been
nominated. They have no more qi all
ocation for them than wolf has quali
fication to be professor of pastoral the
ology in a flock of sheep, or a blind
mole has qualification to lecture a class
of eagles on optics, or than a vulture
has qualification to chaperon a dove.
The mere pronunciation of some of
'heir names makes a demand for car
boUc add and fumigation! Yet Christ
ian men will follow right on under the
political standards.
I have, to tell yo what you know al
ready, that Amtncan politiis have
sunken to such a low uepth that there
i nothing iieneath. What we see In
some directions we see in nearly ad
directions. The peculation 'and the
knavery horled to the -uface by the
explosions of hanks and busine ii ras
are onlv specimens of great Cotapaxis
Strombolis of wickedness that boil and
roar and since beneath, t ut have not
vet regurgitated to the surface. When

, have not been able to complete the ex

; American cities today whole bloc ks of
houses which the authorities know to
; be infamous, and yet by purchase lhey
i are silenced, by hush money, so that
such places areas much under tlede
fense of government as public libraries
and asylums of mercy. These u leers
on the body politic bleed and gantTene
away the life of the nation, and pu Id c
authority in many of the cities i inks
1 he other way. You can not cure such
v ounds as these with asilken bandage.
ou will have to cure them by put ting
deep in the lancet of moral surgery and
burning them out witn the caustvc of
holy wrath and with most decisive am
putation cutting off the scabrous and
putrefying abominations. As the Ro
mans were after the Celts, and as the
Normans were after the Britons, so
tnere are evils after this natio n, which
will attend its obsequies unless we first
attend theirs.
Superstition tells of a mar: jn reptile,

At the Ke',h?y institutes in North
Topeka, Wy andotte, Leavenworth and
Wichita over 800 patients have been
successfully cured of the opium and
alcohol babits during the last vear. It
is a set tied fact that though the use oi
stimuiants ai d narcotics mavbefora
time mere ha'oits, they induce diseased
conditions, and oftentimes result from
a diseased condition of the system,
which causes an unnatural and exces
sive craving for them. The victim is
as often to be pitied as to be blamed;
f.nd any cum, be it medical, legal or
moral conviction that triumphs over
the craving appetite, is to be commend
ed. In a few cases Keeleyism seems to
have been disastrous to mind and body,
h-ut these seem confined to cases in
which tbe whole nervous and physical
system was previously wrecked; where
nature's forces had been so completely
destroyed that she had not strength to
recuperate and renew healthful activi
ty. In such cases, of course, the vic
tim, without treatment, would soon
succomb to the fires of intemperauce
anyhow, so these cases can not be
charged to the treatment any more
than the death or injury of a patient
whom the consuming fires of some ter
rible fever have placed, beyond medical
aid. As a rule, the class of patients
who. as a last resort, have sought the
Keeley institute have been men of more
than average ability men of some am
bition and pride v life; not the mere
hi peless and utterly depraved sots, but
men who, but for an unfortunate and
diseased appetite, would be valuable
members of their respective communi
ties. A recognition and appreciation
of this fact creates a fraternal feeling
and sympathy between the members
that at first sight is somewhat unac
countable.
Why would not biennial elections he
better and cheaper for our people tban
the present system?

Now comes the charge of L. S. Har
vey, assistant secretary of the people's
campaign committee, that the plot to
assassinate Jerry was hatched by chair
man Jones and chairman Breidentbal.
That Breidenthal denies it, and says
Harvey has been playing into the hands
of the republican committee. What
foundation there was to the plot is only
a matter of surmise, but knowing Brei
denthal, as we do, we know him to be a
man who tells the truth regardless of
cousequences.

to make a creditable showing for the schools
of Barber county. Our stock of paper has ar

FRIDAY EVENING.
Lecture, by Dr. Wm. Richardson, of Wichi
ta, subject, "Antediluvian."
This session of the Association will, no doubt,
be an entertaining aud proftitable one, and we
hope as many of our Burber county teachers
will attend as can arrange to do so. Railroad
tickets will be sold at one and one-third fare
for the round trip, and reduced hotel rates
have been secured.
The County Superintendent may be found la
his office every Saturday and Monday. On
other days ho is liable to be absent visiting
schools. Those having business at this office
should take notice and govern themselves ac
cordingly. Every district iu the county will have at least
one term of school this year.
We make tho following extracts from our
last report to the 8tate Superintendent of
Schools:
Population between 5 and 21 years of age
males, 1,557; females, 1.475; total, 3'032; total
In 1891, 2,763. Number of different pupils en
rolled in the sctiools of the county. 2,573; aver
age daily attendance in tht county, 1.653; total
number of months taught by male teachers,
227; In 1891,197; total months taught by female
teachers, 440; in 1891, 315; average salary of
male teachers, $41; female teachers, S32.3U.
Average length of school year, lu weeks, 25;
average number of mills levied for ail school
purposes, 11; number of persons examined for
teachers' certificates iu ihe year. 130; number
who tailed to obtain certificates, 19; number
receiving the first grade certificate, 9; second
grade, 3; third grade, 51; temporary, 12; num
ber of persons receiving certificates who have
had no previous experience in teaching, 31;
number of school districts in the county, 93;
number sustaining school at least three months
last year. 91.
It will be noticed that there are 269 more
children of school age in the county than there
were in 189L Our last report (from which
above extracts are made) Is for the school year
ending June 30th, 192, and shows the average
salary to teachers to be a little less than for
the previous year; but wages this present
year are somewhat higher than last, and the
next Superintendent's annual report will show
them to be so.
To the Superintendents, Teachers and
Friends of Education.
The ninth annual session of the South
western Kansas Teachers' Association
will meet Thurada3 evening, Novem

such a resolution now. Come and bring

self, come. If you are worrying for fear
you are going to fail, come and be
assured that you are just as capable as
others.
