E. church (to-day) Tuesday, after which the remains were tiken to the Ligonier ermetery and laid away to rest, and thus another one "has gone and one who suffered but little, as she had been bed-fast but a few days. The deceased was a war widow and was drawing twelve dollars per month pension. On Monday she signea her name to her pension draft, and the next evening died. Everything is possible, as God said, to-day we live but tomorrow we may die.

After-Election. Experience.

The following appears in the last issue of the New York Weekly Tribune, and we don’t think it needs any comment whatever. It tells its own story: “An [lndiana correspondent complains of hard times, that laborers are without work, honest industrious farmers are losing their homes, making assignments and -mortgages are being foreclosed at every term of court; on the first page of the current issuc of his local paper eleven farms are advertiscd at sherift’s sale. And so on to the end of the chapter.” : The Tribune has nothing to say about this state of affairs, but. conyeniently quotes from the ‘“Western Rural;” and this is the sage remedy that this specimen of western rural{ journalism has to offer. ; " «If farmers will try to stand together, (sic) support the press that supports them, (joke) and set their faces, ' influence and votes steraly against the wrongs of the age, (here is where the langh comes in) equity will be “established; and 't Industrious will have a chance. There is.ao other way out of the night.” ™~ - When the blind are leading the blind, " even ghn “the night,”” they arg apt to stumble. .

Foad For Thought. Joe Howard’'s New York letter.in the Chicago News: ‘A few nights since the mayor of the city waltzed around a room wherein the patriarchs and matriarchs of our city flashed gems millions in value. The paper devoted to his interest, and more especially recognized as his guide, philosopher, and friend, says|‘he presented a beautiful appearance, his beard being neatly combed, as in a new suit of clothes he waltzed about the room, leading the dance with Mrs. Aster.”” At the same moment 6;000 unemployed, thinking men were on the streets, with 50,000 dangerous sympathizers. If George Washington were here to-day his sympathies, like those of every honest man, w"oulti be with the under dog. The men who struck had a gricvance. The best of them average but $1.70 a day, and their ten hours’ llabor are so stretched as to occupy twelve hours’ time—an o’;vious outrage, an infamy, a shame. That they should strike was but ‘naturali{. 2 ; :

Trying the Earth Cure on an Infant. A curious sight, illustratiye ot the customs and superstitions of some of the people, was observed the other day in the Hungarian quarter at Pottstown, Pa. A nuiﬂber of chil¢ren were observed running around on the ground barefooted, beating tin pans and hoxes, 1 and ma.kin,é' considerable of a din. In the midst of the circle they were deseribing was a live baby, buried up to its neck in the cold ground, with a shawl wound round its threat for protection. It waslearned that the object of putting| the baby in this peculiar position wgs to cure it of a skin disease, the Huns haying the same “faith in the curative properties of mother earth that is eharacteristic of many savage tribes. iWhile the child was thus experiencing ‘the medicinal virtues of the earth lpacked‘arbund' its body the boys beat upon tin p{a._ns to frighten away the eyil spirits that had caused the disease.— New York Sun. nabe o -‘[:Th’eiéxßuginm._BooMng. ;A‘ Fnt ~ Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at Woodraff Bros. drug store as their givmf:amg‘g%wmmm&mmmny free trial bottles. of Dr. Kingls New Discoyery for Consumption.

Gov. Hiil’s Devotion to the Democracy. : " [Kansas Democrat.]) During the late.presidential campaign, as is well known, Gov. Hill neglected his own;campaign in New York in his deep interestin the success of the national democratic ticket. Over tw'o! weeks, in the most critical period of his canvass for governor, was devoted byl Mr. Hill to making speeches for Cleveland and Thurman in Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut. His devotion to the interests of democracy, manifestedi under such {rying circumstances, excited for Gov. Hill the admiration of the Democracy of the country. Ly It can be said, the political history of the republic does not furnish a counterpart for such unselfish devotion for as was displayed by Gov. Hill, under circumstances of an especially trying character, in the late presidential campaign. i ) But this sacrifice, which, under all the circumstances, might be truly called heroic, never drew even so much as a brief public expression of thanks from President Cleveland. Not once, while Gov. Hill was imperilling his own elec-, tion“for Grover Cleveland by making an eloquent impassioned canvass of the Hoosier state, did President Cleweland say publicly to the Democracy of New York: “That man is my friend; he 1s perilling all for me; I ask that every Democrat in New York, from the ocean to the lakes, stand loyally by Gev. Hill.””

But no such message was ever sent to encourage the gallant Democracy of New York to do their whole duty. Up to the closing of the polls, on the fatefil 6th of last November, President Cleveland was tongue-tied concerning fhe man who was daring, risking all, torhim'. 20 : : :

This is a ;ver_{i thriving little city of.about 10,000 inhabitants, situated in. Harvey county, about 130 miles southwest from Topeka; in one of the finest regions of the great state ot Kausaﬁs.l I:Tiewton'i’% the county seat and well laid out,—has many good dnd substantial’ business blogcs gi?‘%% | residences, as well as, very fine railread facilities, good and wide-awake newspapers—the Daily Republican and 'T’he Kansas Commoner. Both are well managed and patronized. The editors of both papers are very clever gentlemen and are looking well after the interests of their thriving city. I visited the greatly boomed city of Wichita, 27 miles below, on the Arkansas river. This city is one of the “American prodigies’’ as to_ growth and wealth. Just think of it,—a city away down here, almost outside of ciyilization, only a few years of age, with a stalwart population of 40,000 souls. To be plain and trathful about Wichita,: it is a progidy in a great many respects, and may some day, in the near future, be the great’ mart of southern Kansas. I found many old friends at this city. Mr, James G. Williams and his gcod wife, formerly ‘of Celumbia City, are very pleasantly located—yes, well fixed for life and plenty. ‘‘Jimmie,”” you know, is always ready to show his friends around and make them happy, while n Wichita. Then, there was Dr. Bruce, a prince of good fellows, who must not be fggotten,;—a real whole-souled host in Fimself: To both of these gentlemen, I am much indebted for real, genuine hospitality. May their shadows never grow less. In short, I was much pleased with my visit®o Wichita. The most noticeable feature, a pleasant one, is. the great sociability and energy of the best people of the state. It any of the readers of THE BANNER, should ever visit Newton and Wichita, they will find nice and thrifty cities and splendid pegple. From Newton, I went to Emporia and back to Topeka, which ~ places I will notice in my next to Tur BANNER; ; 4

: lAnswers to Correspondents. AGNOsTIC—No, Bob Ingefsoll is - not the author of ‘‘Paradise Lost.” It was " _written by a blind man named Milton, but one who evidently saw a great deal

in the light of faithb—a light in which

Ingersoll is as blind as a bat. : AGRICULTURIST=-Wild oats'can ‘be sowfi®" almost anywhere or at any time of the year. It is the only crop thatreally may be said to flourish best in towns and cit- ' ies, where young men and old ones may be seen—some of them sowing and some . harvesting it—almost any day or night in the year. The crop has mever been ‘known to fail. : o Hoosier—The population of Indiana, as estimated January 1, 1888, was 2,400,000. So that it is safe to say we have now passed the two and a half million mark. Indianais now making more rapid strides “in progress and wealth than in popula- . ‘tion. - Yet, the number of babies born in the state every year, would appall the economic ideas of an old bachelor. CUIsINE—We don’t remember having seen ~ the recipe you mention, “for frying rchicken. without allowing any of the succulent juices to escape,” You must be quite anepicure. We think'a chicken, if not too tough, by having experienced a prolonged period ot henhood and the raising of families, or, as a rooster, in lording it over the barnyard, is good and juicy enough when fried or broiled in the- - way. Perhaps you had better refer your question to some good, old Methodist minister. Itis wondertul how well posted they are on chicken cookery A €YNIC—It is not, we believe, known to a certainty whoinvented the phraze, ““Hon- . esty is the best policy.”” Benjamin Franklin may have been the author, for all we know, though we think it wasa a very old adage when Bepnjamin was laying the foundation for his fame and picking up information, as a printer’s devil. The author was in all probability ' some old millionaire, who did not owe a cent and had a great deal of money out at interest, In our utilitarian age, the saying, as Grover Cleveland would remark, has fallen into innocuous desu- - etude. The world is full ef first-class rogues who pay their debts—and make money to pay them by swindling somebody else. : : F R g The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health ‘marks an epoch in the life of the individnal. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agen=~ cy whereby the good health has been attained is grate%'ﬁlly blessed. .Hence it 15 that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any diseaseﬁ% 'Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of Iﬁnﬁj ot short standing you will surely find relief by the use of Electric Bitters.
