The Kansas City Times, in a recent is sue, sounds a bugle call that will rever berate through the entire country. Here it is: To-night will furnish to the democrats of Kansas City the opportunity for a fructifying revival of the true faith. Iu all the land there Is no leader of clearer conception of the rules by which a free people should conduct its government than Charles F. Crisp of Georgia. There is none of stronger personality and none who has in higher degree the faculty of conciliating opponents, of removing mis understandings and of divesting his be liefs of unnecessary excesses of theory or feeling. When Judge Crisp has spoken here before it was for the country—for tho west as well as for the south, for Kan sas City as well ns for Atlanta and Sa vannah. At tho auditorium to-night he will have one of those audiences which draws out tho strongest resorves of a speaker's powers. Kansas City is im partially an admirer of those who have by their own deserts reached tho high stations in tho country's service. Demo crats will turn out with enthusiasm, and the moderates and Republicans with in terest. There is no city whoso people are more ready to applaud excellence or to listen to argument. The desire to see the possible successor of Speaker Reed will be supplemented by a yet worthier mental curiosity to hear a pow erful presentation of one side in tho great economic controversy, in this part of tho west the whole population studies tariffs and .taxation, and is on the hunt for tho final truths. At the general meeting and at the banquet Judge Crisp will meet ample evidence that intellectually tho Jefferson doctrine finds acceptance in the Missouri valley. Georgia Normal and Industrial College. J. Harris Chappell, presidcut of the above college, has issued a circular to county scbool**cpmmissloners of the state, in reference to admission to the college. Among other things he says: “As the applicants have had no oppor tunity of making any special preparation for the examination I would suggest that you be not very strict in marking the papers. Whenever you feel satisfied from the general character of an appli cant’s paper from your personal knowl edge of tier advancement and capacity that she is prepared to pursue with profit the courso of study Indicated in the curriculum, consider her eligible to appointment even if she should fall to answer correctly a number of the simple questions asked in this examination. “1 beg that you will hold the examina tion and make the appointments just as soon as practicable. If possible send the names of the appointees to me be fore the tenth of September, and Instruct the girls themselves to write to me at once, giving age, scholastic advancement, and what department of the school they wish to enter.” A food Word for Jndfe Crisp. Judge Crisp is pleasing the business sense as well as the democratic instincts of Missouri. He is too dignified and able to make coarse appeals to feelings. All his speeches and his social meetings with people[bring out bis conservative but vigorous way of looking at subjects. A leader who is strong and true and yet never slops over is a blessing to bis party, his section and his country. If thereisanything that sensible men dread It is a “crazy horse” talker or writer— one of these fellows who thinks he must be the nine muses all at once, and must weep, abuse, exaggerate and declaim. Judge Crisp lias a brain with which he directs his tongue. He thinks of a neighborhood. Kansas City likes exact ly that kind of men, and is getting to re gard him more highly every day.—Kan sas City Times. Worried About Cordon. According to interviews which have appeared in the public prints tliero are alliancemen who are not altogether sat isfied with Senator Gordon’s failuro to answer promptly and directly the ques tion of the alliance convention as to how he stands with reference to the Ocala platform. It is probable that they had an idea that his views with respect to the platform had undergone a change, and that he was prepared to announce that he favored it. The letter which the senator wrote in answer to the inquiry of the convention shows very clearly that his views with regard to it have undergone no change. And his position when be was elected senator Is well known. He opposed the sub-treasury. And it is safe to say that he is still opposed to that feature of the Ocala platform. In that respect he is still in harmony with all the leading democrats of the country. Unless the alliance convention had in formation that justified it in believiDg that his views had undeigone a change it is not easy to understand why it adopted the resolution of inquiry. Did it think him such a political weather cock as to expect that he had abandon ed his opposition to the sub-treasury plan simply because those who advo cated that plan appear to he in tho as cendancy in the state? No doubt the senator would have re- p’ied more pointedly to the inquiry if he lmd not desired to address tlio people at some length upon the issues concern ing which he differs with the alliance. He is with the aiiianco just ns far as a genuiiie democrat can be, aud no fur ther. No doubt he will explain at an early day wherein democratic doctrine differs from alliance doctrine.—Savan nah News. Dropped Fifty-Five Point, Burlington, Iowa.

July 28, 1891, tf. 1880—1882. The assertion that history repeats it self is as old as human nature. It may, or may not, ho true. But one cannot help reflecting that, thirty years ago, the South made a colossal mistake in not lighting for its rights inside the Union and under the old flag. That is ancient history, and beyond remedy. But what of the political outlook to-day ? From the green mountains of Ver mont to the Rio Grande, and from New York to San Francisco, the toilers and producers of our land are restless under the existing order of things and the gigantic inequality which now prevails. For years there has been a struggle, on the part of the majority, to remedy ex isting evils, and to make this a govern ment of the people in fact as well as in name. Just how futile have been these efforts, everybody knows. The same “damned inequality of mankind” exists to-day that always oxisted. 'Tis true, that thousands upon thou sand of our people are struggling to shake off the incubus of organized wealth, which, from a central point, dominates and dictates the legislation of our entire country. But how are theso thousands going about it ? That’s the question. In times gone by the term “democ racy” meant “government by the peo ple.” Has anything happened in the past thirty years to chango the meaning of the word ? Does anything exist to day to prevent the principles of democ racy being embraced and held by the people ? Is tliero anything to provent a majority of a democratic convention ruling ? And is there any reason why a majority of the peoplo should not be represented in such a convention ? Not the slightest. Very well. Then why should a ma jority of our peoplo fear to assort them selves on the fundamental principles of democracy? If ours is a democratic form of government—a government by tile majority of the people—tlion In the namo of plain, common sense, why can’t the people rule under tho democratic banner? What’s to proveut a majority from ruling under any banner? And why not under the true banner ns well as any other. Talk about a government of farmers— why not talk about a government of tailors, or shoemakers, or editors, or any other class or calling? In present ing his ballot as an evidenco of having a voice Id this government, no man is ever asked what Ids calling or trade is. Every honest citizen stands on a dead level as a voter, whether he he f armer or tailor, or candle stick maker. Of course, we all cau’t be tailors, nor farmers; but we all can be democrats. And why the people can’t win as Demo- WO rk. crata, no one has as yet pointed out In 1800 the South lost by withdrawing from the Democratic party. Under the manipulations of John C. Breckenridge and others, the South struck out under a farmers’ banner, with tho shibboleth Cotton is king!” What bloody work followed is a matter of history. The buestion now is, Are we of to-day insane enough to repeat the gigantic political blunder of thirty years ago?

After going to him I got well, ap parently, for awhile, but returned as bad as ever. I then concluded to try P. P. P. (Prickle Ash, Poke Root and Potas sium), and after taking five bottles (pint size) was cured. I also find it a good medicine to give a good appetite, and to give proper digestion.
