We would again call the attention of

In handing a Grecnbacker twa dollars
in change, be careful not to give him a
standard silver dollar of -112 5 grains, at
oar. and a trade dollar ot 420 grains with
ten cents extra, for discount on the lat

nity to raise the question of the power
of Congress to create value.
A farmer-stepped into a restaurant

Never put your hands into butter.
There is no excuse for so doing, and every
sense ot cleanliness forbids it. The hands
may be clean, but as butwr absorbs er
err imourity with which it comes in con
tact, excessive perspiration of the hands
or any humor of tne blood might tail be
imparted to the butter. A wooden ladle

turn it over while b.ung washed, answers
just as well, and a vast deal better.

.HARD-MONEY DEMOCRACY.
Siding two horses and sitting oatwo
stools are proverbially dangerous opera
tions. Yet the Democratic party is sol
emnly advised to try that experiment
again. All the world remember now
nicely, the party succeeded in ISoO, wheu
it attempted to bridge over the question
of slavery in the territories, by ruuuiug
Presidential Electors pledged to loie iu
part for Douglas and in part fur Breck
inridge, so that the election might be
thrown into a Democratic Douse. Per
haps it is not ktrange that individuals
should be so inditlerent to recent expe
rience and proverbial wisdom as to pro
pose another trial of the eawe sort. But
no one would expect a creat party to
adopt such a suggestion a second time if
that party had not become mure latuuua
for the stupidity of iu blunders than
anything else. The plan now submitted
and gravely discussed iu Democratic cir
cles or lnflluence, is that tue uciuocrauc
party shall run a hard money candidate,
and the Greenback party a soft money
candidate, but that the two shall unite
upon one set of electors in each state,
with the agreement that the electoral
votes Huall be cast for either candidate
in proportion as the popular vote of the
State fur cither party may be divided.
There are trilling difficulties, of course,
but these could be readily overcome.
That the plan could be made to work, if
each party consents, will not be doubted.
Whether it will work-success or disgrace
ful failure, as it did before, is not so
clear.
The recipe of ilrsGlcsa for cooking a
hare began, "First catch your hare." It
will be necessary, first of all, to get the
soft money Democrats to consent that a
soft money President, if elected at all,
Khali be the candidate of the Greenback
party. That would mean the disbaud
mentof the Democratic party, tho elec
tion mainly by Democratic votes ot the
caudidate of a hostile organization, when
the'same Democrat have the power to
nominate euch a man as they want iu
their own party convention. That the
soft moner lunatics can control any cau
cus or convention of-the Democratic
party is indisputable. Within that par
ty certain leaders have secured local or
national prominence ; outside of it, in
any new parly, other men would dispute
with them for the leadership or manage
ment. It would be very nice for Mr.
Tilden or Mr. Baysrd to have Mr. Hen
dricks consent to relax his grasp upon
the Democratic party in Indiana, or Mr.
Thurman in Ohio. But when they con
sent, the hare may be caught. And when
the sky falls we may all catch larks.
The Republicans would be delighted
to have this experiment tried again.
Somewhere in Connecticut, it is possible,
there is still in existence the stuffed skin
ot a two headed calf, which did excellent
service in tho campaign of ISGO as the
emblem of Democracy two heads, but
no hear.tor brains. A party which is en
tirely destitute of principles or convic
tioos should at least take care not to ad
vertise the fact too widely. Under the
proposed arrangement, all the soft money
Democrats at the West would be dis.
gusted with their party because of its
open dicker with "the agents of the
Rothschilds," and at the same time all
the hard money Democrats would be out
raged by the shameless barter of the par
ty with repudictors. On the whole, we
cannot think of a scheme which would
more thoroughly how the utter dishon
esty and lack of principle of the Demo
cratic party. It is to be tery much re
gretted that the fiat-money lunatics and
stubborn rcpudiators are probably so
hard headed so blindly and mistakenly
in earnest that this otherwise promis
ing dicker will probably fall through.
The Republican party bns nothing to
fear from any such thimble rigging. It
stands on guard to defend the Nation s
honor and its prosperity, as lor ir.e
open opposition which it has to encoun
ter, the llepublican party can take care
ofthatquiteaswell if its foes are divided,
and take pains to prove their readiness
to sacrifice principles for spoil, as if
they were honestly and heartily nnitcd.
In short, experience teaches in the
words of a Democratic journal thst
"thpre are enough Democrats in the
country for one party, but not enough
for two. N. Y. Tribune
A PETITION.
The Good Templars of the State are
circulatiug.tbe following petition, which
w have accn for the first time : The un
dersigned voters of the Slate of Kansas,
residents of County, respectfully
aud earnestly pray your honorable body,
to aiiimt at vour nrcsent session, anil suo
mit fur ratification to the voters of the
State as dulv and legally provided, an
amendment to tne state consuiuuun, w
forever prohibit it, except for the pur
pose of medical and other sciences, art
and mecnanism, me mauumuiuic u
sale of all intoxicating liquors within
ihp jurisdiction of this State.
We further pray that the present li
cense law be immediately repeaica ana
a prohibitory law be enacted in its stead
that will afford us immediate relief from
the evils of intemperance and protect us
until the constitutional, amendment oe
comes a law.
As Mr. A. T. Stewart was in the abit,
during his life time, of selling bills of
goods, there is nothing astonishing iu the
information that be once db-posed of $3,
000 worth toa merchant ef Alabama, but
to the ubscqnent proceedings hangs a
tale. Hearing that the purchaser imme
diately disposed of the merchandise at a
loss, Mr. Stewart brought suit against
Ids creditor for obtaining goods under
false pretenses. The Alabamian retorted
with a suit for defamation of character,
and, having an advantage ofahorr.e jury
who did'nt object to seeing a rich sheep
shorn, recovered a judgment for $25,000.
The case has reached the Supreme court,
and Mr. Hilton, who is supposed to have
something to do with the management of
the Stewart case, is nsiiiing nam to nave
the judgment tet aside. An Alab.ima
merchant with a reputation damaged to
the extent of $25,000 ought to pass cur
rent as a curiosity.
Our farmers should not fail to orga
nize in every township of the county
where they have not already done so.
The busy season is about over, and farm
ers can now find time enough to devote
one evening in eaih week to the discussion
if such political rubjects as will inform
them on the vita! unites "( the times and
prepare them tn vote intelligently. Orga
niae, meet, read, discuss, interchange
views, get fact, circulate documents,
and the benefit will be beyond expec
tation and of priceless value. We urge
upon our friends not to delay this mat
ter, b'tt in every towndiip'and school
district te organize clubs and keep tbem
op. An intelligent people cannot be
come the dupes of demagogues.

LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE.
Lippincott'n Magazine fur Jauuary, be
ginning the new volume, has a varied
aud aitrraiive list ot cuutents. There are
three illustrated articles, "Yorkshire
Ryways," by mitred d. Gibbs, "The Ar
tist'a Island," by .Dwight Kenton, aud
"Wild Roars aud Boar Hunting," by Dr.
G. Archie Slockwell. Miss Lallan, the
author of that capital novel, "The Hun
urablc Miss Ferrard," contributes a strik
ing story of Irish life entitled, "Flitters,
Tatters, and the Counsellor," which is
full of humor, pathos, and incisive sketch
es of character and manners. "A Youuj;
Girl's Experiences during the Two Sieges
of 1'uris, " gives a tunning picture oi tne
life of a Parisian family at the time ol
the Franco-German war, and the fearful
scenes enacted under the Commune. A
scries of stories under the general title of
"Women's Husbands," is begun in this
number, and seems likely to pique curi
osity by its fresh and trenchant deline
ations of American life in fashionable
circles. Edward C. Bruce gives a graph
ic account of a "Western Town." D
C. McDonald describes a "Trip to New
foundland." Mrs. Hooper sketches the
career of Madame Dubarry, and Sidney
Lanier gives us "A Fairy Tale for Grown
People." There are two very striking
poems in this number, "The Poet Pro
test," by Alfred II. Louis, and "Crwtus,"
by Julia C. R. IX.rr. Miss Olney's
charming serial, "Through Winding
Ways." grows in interest, and the
"Monthly Gossip" contains several pa
pers deserving of notice. The whole

It was further estimated by the State Horticul
tural Society that when pnr care as exercised
in planting aud protecting trees, tint not o.er
nve wr cent, need ever be lost. Many lare
planters present affirmed that they hail not lo.t
more than one ier cent. Therefore to succeed
well in orcliard raising in Kansas:
1 . Protect your trees front stock, rabbits aud
borers.
2. Plant low headed trees only, bearing well
towards the south-west.
3. Plant Kansas grown trees on Kansas soil
