SPECIAL MASONIC EDITION OF THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Go to Garfield Park and Hear Vernon Skin Brown in the Great VOLUME II. WITHIN THE FOLD. Political Prodigals Leave the Husks of Democracy. FROM BRYAN TO McKINLEY. Kansans Show Their Wisdom by Renouncing Anti-Everything Politics. Remarkable Evidence of Universal Approval of McKinleyism and Pros- "Coming events cast their shadows before" has been translated into a truism. A truth that is as self-evident in politics as in history or prophesy. And just now, when everybody is looking forward to the Ideas of November and the final settlement of a vital issue to the welfare and perpetuity of our American institutions. It comes with telling significance and multiplied effectiveness. The campaign of '96, inaugurated as it was by a species of pyrotechnic politics and skyrocket oratory, carried away for the time the boy like men, who, dazzled by the brilliancy of its sophistry, followed blindly the magic voice of its silver-tongued apostle; but they found no treasure at the end of the rainbow, and now, older and wiser, they return to the realm of actuality and ask some body to "kick 'em for makin' sech a darn blunder." But the significant thing is, they are coming; coming, from all over God-blessed, prosperity-loving Kansas, back into the protecting shelter of the Republican fold; coming with a song of plenty on their lips; with abundant harvests in their arms; and better still, with a conviction that redemption is better than repudiation; that honesty is better than hypocrisy, that humanity is better than brutality, and that the imperialism that stands for duty and obligation is better than a policy that means anti-everything except anti-Tillmanism and anti-hell. And to show just how the wind is blowing and the turn of the tide, the following, taken from the Kansas City Journal will be interesting: George Crotzer, farmer; John Wander, Farmer; W. H. Daniels, W. M. Daniels, painters; James Brown, paper hanger; Eli Evans, merchant; C. G. Holstrum, tinner; H. R. Troth, electrician; George Geiger, pharmacist; J. S. Faulk, carpenter; Thieman Williams, farmer; S. R. Green, Frank Mannock, Wm. Fifer, farmers; Henry Harmes, painter; Frank Bruton, Ab Bruton, farmers; P. Kamm, traveling man; Dr. Gillman, physician; C. F Bliss traveling man; John Gillis, Newton Bilger, J. L. Glossel, Henry Blumberg, A. Utz, W. M. Stewart, J. P. McClurg, farmers; H. H. Painter, retired farmer; John Cramer, carpenter. To each one was put this question: "Do you know of a man in your neighborhood who voted for McKinley in 1896 who will vote for Bryan this year?" Each one answered "No." This same question was put to Dr. M. F. Marks, the local fusion leader here. In reply he said: "I don't know of any outside of the eight gold Democrats. I think they are going to support Bryan this year." These gold Democrats were looked up and not a single one said he would support Bryan. Five of them were outspoken for McKinley. The others wanted to see what the gold Democratic party was going to do. John Armastead, a wealthy retired farmer and one of the most influential men in the county, is one of the gold Democrats. "I voted for McKinley in '96 and am going to do so again this year," "I am quite sure the rest of the gold Democrats are WEDNESDAY MORNING. KANSAS MASONS.

It contains in its list the names of some of some of the very best REPUBLICAN PARTY McKINLEY = EDUCATION & OPERATION TO LIVE. Negroes of K on Skin Brown in the going to do the same thing." The investigation here developed that Democrats as well as Populists were turning to the Republican party. It is noticeable that most of the young men who will cast their first vote for president this fall, regardless of the party affiliations of their fathers, are members of the local Republican club and are supporting McKinley and Roosevelt. Another gratifying thing is the fact that many of the changes among the A. farmers are those of old soldiers. Eighteen of the thirty men who have changed have joined the Republican club. The causes assigned by some of them for changing to Mckinley are of interest. Captain Eli Evans, a big merchant here, was a free silver Republican in 1896 and voted for Bryan. This year he will vote for McKinley and the Republican state ticket. "I was a Republican for years," said he, "but I thought the party left me in 1896 on the money question and I supported Bryan. We have had prosperous times; have fought one successful war, are about to wind up another one, and it seems that we are about to get into still another one. Under the circumstances we should not think of making a change in the administration. "As to the money question, I think it is dead. It has been demonstrated that we have an abundance of money, and the laboring people are having a chance to earn good wages. Farmers are prosperous, and business in general is good. There is no reason to trade off a certainty for an uncertainty. The issues of '96 are not the issues this year. The Republicans have the right side of the various questions, and I am with them." Captain Evans has lived in Kansas for forty-five years. He was a captain in the Second Kansas regiment during the civil war and was a fearless soldier. He was a personal M. friend of John Brown and Jim Lane and relates many interesting anecdotes about them. Dr. C. H. Gillman, a prominent physician of this city and a stanch supporter of Bryan and the entire fusion ticket in 1896, has added his name to the roll of the local Republican club and proposes to do everything he can for McKinley and Roosevelt this year. The doctor was a Republican until 1896, when he joined the Populist party. He has a wide acquaintance and is a power in politics. He said to-day: "The money question is really no longer an issue.

The work this order is doing to promote the interest of its members and at the same time reflect credit upon the entire race by its manifest business and legislative capacity is worthy our warmest appreciation. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons representing Chapters in Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Indian Territory convened on Monday with Most Excellent Companion Albert J. Gilmore presiding as Grand High Priest. The reports of the various Grand officers indicated a healthy growth in all its departments. There were sixteen chapters reported with a membership of three hundred and sixty-nine. Most Eminent Sir Oscar A. Harris, 33d, Grand Commander of Prince Hall Grand Commandery of Kansas, presided during the sessions of this body. His address to the Sir Knights was instructive and received the close attention it merited. The reports indicated that there was much prosperity among the Templars and that the fifteen subordinate Commanderies were in a good condition financially. Three new Commanderies were reported and warranted. The healthy growth noticeable in the higher degrees indicated the marvalous growth as shown by the records and work of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. that BRYAN = DISFRANCHISEMENT AND EXTER- INATION. convened in its twenty-fifth Annual Communication in the House of Representatives on Tuesday 13th inst. Grand Master D. A. Jones for the fifth time delivered a strong address in which he dealt in an able manner with the details of the work of the various subordinate lodges and directed the enactment of needed legislation. During the past year $1300.00 has been paid to the deserving widows of the Jurisdiction, which together with the $800 paid out at Atchison in August 1899, give the total paid out for charity during the year of $2100.00. Very few lodges were slow in settling amounts due the Grand Lodge. The fourteen hundred Negro Masons of Kansas have every reason to be proud of the whole of its representatives. The following is a list of the Grand Officers elected and installed in the various departments for the next year: D. A. Jones, Leavenworth, grand commander; H. H. Curtis, Caxton Springs, grand secretary; W. Forbes, Ft. Scott, grand senior warden; H. Jones, grand junior warden, A. S. Walton, Leavenworth, secretary of endowment; J. H.

In American veins flow the masterful blood of history—English, Scotch, Irish, German, French and Scandinavian, nation builders all—rugged as the heather-covered granite hills of the highlands, gentle as the green vales of Killarney, dominant on land as are the English on the sea and with a love for native land as strong, deep and lasting as the German affection for the Fatherland. There has not been an hour from the moment the Pilgrim fathers landed at Plymouth to the bright May day when Dewey humbled the flag of Spain in Manila bay when Americans have not been the missionaries of liberty. The Revolutionary war was for liberty and expansion of land; the war of 1812 was for liberty and expansion on the sea; the Mexican war was for the liberty and expansion to the west and south; the Rebellion was for liberty and union everywhere and the country is still in the morning of its history. The imperialism of the American idea gave the French people power to throw off the old regime and enter into the dominion of individual sovereignty. It has made more than half a score of Latin American Republics strung along the Andean mountain chain, every one of them children of Debate. Discussion SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. American thought and of American example, and still sheltered under the strong arm of American protection. America never consulted with cowardice, or took counsel with the fearful. She rejoices as a strong man to run a race, and cares not how hard the task may be, providing it be just. The Republican policy which so long has guided the destiny of republican America has been just and generous, opening the door of opportunity to all opening markets that looms may spin, THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN furnaces blaze, chimneys smoke, traifly and ships sail, making work and maintaining wages and paying honest toil and American skill the highest wages in the best money in the world. The Republican party stands for the imperialism of opportunity, the dominion of achievement, the kingdom of manly labor, royal remuneration for loyal service. If this be imperialism let the enemies of the republic make the most of it. The party which freed the black man, gave work to the white man and deals justly with the brown man does not hesitate to go before the sovereign voters of the country and ask for endorsement. President McKinley has been true to the traditions and instincts of the American people. He has continued the policy which Jefferson inaugurated, which Monroe continued, which Seward advanced, which Grant promoted, which Harrison championed and which the growth of the Republic demanded. A policy which Cleveland could not change, for Hawaii is ours, Porto Rico is ours, the gate of Asia is ours to the glory of America and for the good of the natives who find shelter and protection under the spotless folds of our flag. This is the record and loyal Americans glory in it. The Republican party is not apostate to the spirit of the race, nor will it check the resistless march of liberty and free institutions. Are the Americans of today the degenerate sons of noble sires? Our fathers carried the flag from the Alleghanies to the Pacific, from Kentucky to the Gulf, from the Golden Gate to J. the frozen north, and with every advance the prophets of evil predicted the fall of the republic. But the republic grew in size, in strength and virtue. There is more freedom to give, more schoolhouseto build, more truth to preach, more ocean to whiten with American commerce, more tasks to dare, and all the pessimism represented by Tammany Hall, the solid south, the anarchy of Chicago and the sophistry of the Platte cannot.limit our growth, paralyze our commerce, stop our development or make us recreant to our manifest destiny.

If your hair is short and harsh and kinky; if your scalp is covered with scurf and dandruff, or itch, or eczema, it is doubtless your fault alone. If your little ones' heads are a mass of crusty, scaly, flaky scurf, teeming with germs and microbes, that are invisible to the naked eye, but which are sapping the life from the hair and destroying it forever, and you allow this state to go on, it is a crime.

It returned to the old traditions of the sixties when the country was urged to let the south go, to let the imperial republic be divided, to let slavery continue, to create a line of custom houses and block houses all along the Mason and Dixon line, which would have called for a standing army in the north and another in the south and would have turned back the clock of progress and to toll the death knell of human liberty everywhere. But no, liberty and union triumphed. The severed country united. It commenced to grow. Railways were pushed to the sunset. Alaska became ours. Hawaii begged for adoption and we took her in; Guam joined the procession; the Philippines, just awake to the fact that one American promise is worth more than sixteen Spanish bonds, sees the star of hope rising and looks for peace, prosperity and regeneration under the benign influence of American schools, American commerce, American laws and American justice. If this be imperialism let the Democrats make the most of it. PROF. COUNCIL, in a recent lecture gives expression to these words of wisdom: Our complaint of American prejudice is not manly. American prejudice plays an important part in Negro opportunity. Never before in the history of any people has prejudice had such high valuation. Instead of seeking admission into places of amusement, pleasure and instruction run by whites for white people, let the Negro open such places for his own accommodation and grow rich. Instead of knocking for admission into white circles, adorn, beautify, elevate enlarge Negro circles and find scope for our broadest and most lofty ambition.
