lie said:
“I expected a change prepared in miblie senti¬
ment, but I was not for so com¬
plete a reversal. This state seemed only
two years ago to lie. the fortress of re¬
publicanism, the very Gibraltar of the
party in power. Butin two brief years
see how great the change.”
My republican friend seemed to warm
up as he looked upon the past, and he
continued: “The truth is 1 ho republican
party has somewhat abated its high pro¬
tective ideas in Kansas. The state
is an agricultural district and
1he farmers have concluded that
they have been paying taxes without to
keep up Eastern manufacturers law
receiving any of the benefits of the
‘ themselves. My opinion is that the again pro¬
tective policy in politics the will politics never the
hold the same place in of
state that it once occupied. On this
point the farmers have revised their
opinion and 1 cannot say that they are in
favor of free trade, but certainly they
a*e no longer in favor of high protection. Sunflower
That era has gone by in the
State and the sooner the fact is recog¬
nized by Republican politicians the better
it will be for them.”
A Democrat in Kansas, and they are
more outspoken now than ever before
says: “1 do not see much in the late
change in Kansas that can givo any
special comfort to the old Democratic
party. In other States the Alliance
men may co-operate with the Demo¬
cratic party. Put here it is not so.
They show no symptoms of any such
nfliliation. They seem to hold the Dem¬
entis as much in derision ns they do the
Republicans. Their hatred of Ingalls
seems to be deep and bitter. but They look do
not regard him as one of them,
upon him as one in sympathy with the
money powers. 1 cannot judge of tlv-ir
future duration but certain it is that they
are here now and they announce that
they have ‘come to stay.’ Perhaps they
have. Time will show if in this they be
rigid or wrong.” parties
After hearing from the two old
I fell in with an Allianceman who was
lull in the faith. He was free and posi¬
tive in his talk. Said lie: “The Alliance
will be a factor in politics for years. It
has a mission ntul will not retire until
that has been carried out. What is
the mission? See our various 'plat¬
forms, and from them you may gain
some idea of the work the Alliance
has been sent, to work out. Be¬
fore its task has been all executed it, will
have to have control of the National gov¬
ernment. And so swift has been the
rise of the Alliance party that I believe
that it in conjunction with the labor ele¬
ment* in the cities and in the factories
will elect a President in 1893. Hereto¬
fore the capitalists of both parties have
been able to keep the farmers and the
town, factory and mine laborers apart in
politics. But that day is past. Now' all
these laborets and farmers can unite, and
will unite, and there is no reason why
this combination shall not drive both of
the and old parties President out of the field in 1892,
have a who will respect
the middle classes. Such is the vision of
polities as 1 see it.”
Prom these talks you may judge some¬
what of the recent political change in
Kansas.

The Americitn Firm Kcics (Akron. O.)

cousin State Agricultural Society in a
recent annual address spoke upon the
subject of “The Farmer in Politics.”
9 Mr. Parkinson, held to the belief that
one i f the farmer’s first duties w.t^ to be
a thorough p ditician and u e his utmost
< tTorts politically to the suppression
of evils in politics and the produc¬
tion of higher principles and betfer
govert ment in the interest of the
masses. He warned farmers of tbc
danger arising from the grasping of laud’
l>\ monopolies and centralization of the
tv ca th of the country, made possible by
unjust legislation, lie piedicted that
unless the legislation in the interest ol
the masses was soon had. half of the
vealthof this country would b? con*

twenty-five years. He urged the

and hi congress, and deplored the fact
that there were scarcely enough farmers
in congress to constitute an agricultural
committee.

willing to concede to such demands as
can be manipulated to seem the one thing
and mean another. But when it comes
to a frank, open reform measure that
can only be used for one purpose, and
that one a source ot benefit to labor in
produclon, the result is 1 the same as
shown by the Missouri legislature. Th

The Dog Designer.
A strange trade, indeed, or ratljcr
profession, for he who practises it must
be something of a naturalist, a sculptor
and an artist, is “the dog individual designer” of
Paris. This ingenious occu¬
pies liis working hours in transforming
mongrel dogs into the semblance of rare
ami expensive canines, lie collects, with
the aid of small boy agents, all the stray
dogs that wander about the streets and
houses them in his atelier. Then he se¬
lects from the crowd a dog who bears
some resemblance to the species he wishes
to imitate, and by clipping, dyeing and
even adding new ears to the unfortunate
pup, it is tiansformcd into a high-bred
hound or terrier, as the case may be.
'1 ho poodle, so popular iu Paris, is
very easily imitated. Given a cur with
black or brown curling hair, he is soon
transformed the by artistic clipping into one the
of cunning little clogs so like
medieval lion-; that delight the French¬
man's heart. Of course, when the hair
grows out the deception is discovered,
bqt by that time the dog designer is
pursuing his calling in another part of
the city. They tell the story of a worthy
shopkeeper who bought a Dalmatian
hound in the street. The beauty or these
peculiar animals are their long and silky
ears, and the one in question was pro¬
vided with a pair of such generous di¬
mensions that they almost hid his be¬
nign face The purchaser was delighted
with his prize and stopped by the river
to have tlie lady who washes dogs give
him a ten cent toilet before taking him
home to bis wife. What was the worthy
man’s find surprise when lie got his dog back
to that the beautiful ears had disap¬
peared in the water, and that he was
confronted by an ugly cur with hardly
any cars at all and a generally unfinished
appearance. — [New York Journal.
A Monster American Pyramid.
. A gigantic pyramid, the most interest¬
ing relic to the antiquarian now on tiie
American Continent, lies a few miles to
the west of Pueblo, Old Mexieo.
The spot is easy of access, and has
been visited bv every traveller of note,
either American born or foreign, who has
interested himself in the least in hoary
antiquities. plain It rises suddenly adobes, from th$
ami is built of huge oi
large unburneu bricks. Although muti¬
lated and overgrown with trees, the
massive base and four stories of the gi¬
gantic structure nr* yet almost entire
Humboldt ties nibes it as a work of such
magnitude and vastuess as, next to the
pyramids of Egypt, has never before
been seen in the world. Its height is
172 feet, aud the shies of its base l,o35
feet, being 2 73 feet lower than the great
Pyramid of C heops, and G2T feet longer.
The brick material is interspersed with
layers of stone and mortar, and the foui
stories are connected with eacli other bv
bread terraces. These are ascended from
bench to bench by regular and oblique
flights of steps which lead to a little
chape! at the top, which has been dedi¬
cated to the Virgin of Remedies. In
straightening City out Mexieo the road which leads
from the of to Pueblo, it be¬
came necessary to traverse a portion of
the base of this ancient monument. In
cutting down a section of the base an in¬
terior chamber built of stone aud roofed
with beams of cypress, was laid ba;e. In
it were found skeletons, idols of clay,
stone and bronze, aud a number of pot¬
tery vessels, • curiously varnished and
painted.—[Sj:. Louis Republic.

A Canine Coin Detector.
They have a dog at Cheyenne, WyQ.,
who is said to be able to detect a spuri
oi« coin, instantly, not oa sight, hat on
. smell, h rom anv number of coins placed
! before him he w ill immediately and on
; erringly select the genuine and carry it to
his master. It is said that recently a
national bank threw out a dollar as spuri
ous , and it was taken to the dog, who at
once accepted it as genuine, Chemical
test afterward prov. d that he was right.
This dog ought to have a good salary as
a bunk teller.
Progress.
lt is very important in this age of vast ma¬
terial progress that a remedy be pleasing to
the taste and to the eye, easily taken, accept¬
able to the stomach and healthy in its nature
and effects. Possessing these qualities, Syrup
of Figs is the one perfect laxative and m#st
gentle diuretic known.
The man who cannot respert himself has
only one more step to take to fall into the pit.
For impure or thin Blood, Weakness, Ma¬
laria, Neuralgia, Indigestion, and Biliousness,
take Frown’s Iron Bitters—it gives strength,
making old persons feel young—and young
persons strong; pleasant to take.
The reason some people do not have more*
power is 1 e ause they do not have enough
weakness.

MISSING CARS.
TRACING TOST ROLLIXG-StOCII
ON OUR RAILROADS. )
Missing Railroad Coaches Found
BUlC-Trai’kotl in the Backwoods,
With Families Living in Them
—A Record Bureau,
All of the great railroad lines have en
ter*l into a mutual agreement by which
every company is responsible for all the
l ' ar5 pipped over it- traces. If
Elble ffr for car and , fre, r § at RS soou 23 11 G re *
ce ives them, and unless both are deliv
cred the Jersey Central makes good the
loss. The cars are either replaced or
paid for at the cost price, less a sup¬
posed depreciation of six per cent, in
value for every year that the car has been
in use. With old cars the latter method
generally is adopted,as it is often cheap¬
er than repairing.
All railroads try to use their own cars
ns much as possible, and it might be
added that they also endeavor to use the
ears‘of other roads a3 much as possible
nlst>. A charge of three-fourths of a cent
is made for every mile covered by a
freight ear traveling over a road that
docs not belong to the owner of the car.
Thcso mileage charges amount to large
sums in the course of a year. The bills
of the New York Central for this one
item are front $73,000 to 8125,000 0
month. Practically, this method works
like a great dealing house, as the ac¬
count against the New York Central is
more than balanced by its own charges
for cars used by other lines. Other rail¬
roads in fact pay the New York Central
for the use of its cavs about 810,000 a
month more than the Central pays them.
“Our cars are seldom lost,” said an
officer of the New York Central Road
yesterday, “since the present system ol
tracing ears went into operation, about
four years ago. In the old days we
sometimes thought we had lost passenger
coichcs. We even lost sight for several
months of the car in which President

far as Syracuse and there lost it. Some¬
body thought he remembered that it had
been run onto a side track to a gravel
bed, but he did not remember having
seen it afterward. Several months later
an Elmira newspaper said that the fa¬
mous car in which President Lincoln’s
body was taken to Illinois was running
between that city and Corning.”
A well known railroad man told an¬
other story of a lost car. No ti ace
could be found of it beyond a junction in
the iron regions of Pennsylvania. Finally
Jhis officer became so interested that he
determined to investigate the case per¬
sonally. He went to the town where the
car had been seen last and followed a
disused and grass grown track some dis¬
tance in the country. After a prolonged
search, he discovered the car with a stove
pipe projecting from the roof %nd othei
signs of habitation. He found a family
in possession, but evicted them without
attempting to collect back rents, and
says that he believes the coach to be still
in use on a country road to which it was
sold several years after its discovery in
the wilds of Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania road lost an entire
train in the Johnstown flood. It was a
minor Incident in the great disaster, but
it cost the officers of the road consider
erable trouble until they could determine
from their records just what cars had
disappeared. The Philadelphia and Read¬
ing recently had a similar expcrieucf
through the sweeping away of a bridge at
Wilkesbarre. Among the cars lost was
one belonging to the New York Central,
which, with its contents, had to be paid
for.
Every great railroad, like the Netv
York Central, the Pennsylvania, the
Baltimore & Ohio‘and the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, maintains a
record bureau, which keeps so strict a
watch upon its freight care that the pre¬
cise location of any given car may be
known at any given time. The cars be¬
longing to the railroad itself are entered
in a large book, ruled so that a daily
record of the movements of from twenty
five to fifty cars maybe kept for o month
on a single page. Yfhat are called for
eign cars, that is, cars belop^ing t6 other
companies, are Recorded in another book,
ruled in such a manner that the numbers
and initials of the cars may be recorded.
As the conductors’ reports are received
they are checked of! on the record books
of the home office until every car has
bee; acounted for. A second set of re¬
ports is also received from stations at
junctions with other roads, showing the
transfers of empty and loaded cars with
the line, number and initials of each. If
the cars are loaded, the contents, the
name of the shipper, and the consignee,
are also matters of record. All station
agents submit to the car accountant^ at
the main office a record of the cars loaded
and unloaded at their stations, from mid¬
night to midnight. In fact, the car ac¬
countant practically has a daily report of
the location and condition of every
freight car in the service of the road. Of
course, the passenger system is the sub¬
ject of even more careful record. —iYew

Why a Senator Bale Never Smokes.
During one of the most fiercely fought
battles of the war General Bate, of
Tennessee, and his brother were together
as usual watching the progress of the
: fight. They were on an eminence, and
although within range of the enemy's
batteries proceeded to indulge them¬
selves as usual in the weed. General
Bate drew out from his pocket two
cigars, and handing one to his brother
took the other himself, and then asked
for a light. His brother struck a match
on his box, and just as he was offering
it to the General a cannon ball came
along and.struck him right in the face.
The poor fellow's head Was taken off as
cleanly as though it had been done with
a sword. From that day to this Senator
Bate has never lighted a cigar .—Brooklyn

Butter a Luxury iu South America.
Butter is as rare a luxury i:i South
America as bread. The sort one pays
thirty cents a pound for here sell there
for $1 a pound. For every pound of
this commodity manufactured iu that
part of the world 1000 pounds are im¬
ported from abroad. Again,’ it is the
climate that is at fault. There arc cows,
plenty oT them, and the milk has the
usual amount of cream; but the cream
will not rise. Besides, there are no con
reniences for ref iteration, such as coo.
spring houses, eic.—Washington Star .

I would not permit any girl friend to

I would not when I brush the dust off

Bogin right. The first stage
