from what they read that politicians
are all corrupt, Office seeking species
of gambling in which high stakes are

their bancful influence and money into

A Sorry Time.


The state central committee and

are having q sorrowful experience
with their ticket. Every few days
witnesses the Withdrawal Of one or
more of the nominees followed by a
call of the committee aad the substi-
tuition of new names. At the present
rate they will soon have exhausted the
entire party. and still the ticket lacks
two names Of being full. The ma
chinery of the opposition party of
Kansas reminds MS of the implement
called "go-devil," used by the farm
ers ia the Arkansas valley to rake in
hay TO the place of stacking, without
the trouble of winrowing and cooking.
The machine looks like twcnty-foot
pair of bars set on slides and is run by
hitching team at each end of it. If,
perclIance, one team is of oxen and
the other Of horses or mules. the ma
chine becomes difficult of manage

That $1,000.

Ex-senator Pomorsy has brought
suit for the 81 900 that he gave to York
and with which he afterwards slew
him, in the face of the joint conven-
ton. York threw al! upon that die,
aud lost. Pomeroy did not go 10 the
L. 5. senate,-neither did York. Pom
eroy went down, York went as low. Ii
Pomeroy was guilty, was York guilt
less? York destroycda man great in
some few, and good in many respect,
but failed to rise out of the ruins he
piled about his own ears. Neither
York nor Pomeroy would do the same
thing over again, and the $! 900 would
make neither whole. Many sympa-
thIze with one, and all either pity or
condemn the other. York's motives
may have been pure, Pomeroy honor
able, but public opinion comedies nei-
Their. Pomcroy does not want to be
tried, and y DIRK asks that the suit may
be dismioed None, save the two men,
York and Pomeroy, themselves, know
of the true, and only incentives that
prompted the giving and taking OF
that $1,000, and We don't believe the
courts will ever determine. For one
we believe they were both entrapcd,
both yic,imizcd, and both TO large
degree, guiltless.

The Lyon County Fair.

The Lyon County Fair which we at.
tended last Friday was not success
in any line or particular, if except the
display of fruits, which was really
fine. Peaches, pears aud apples, es-
pecially the latter, was exhibited in
abundance and of the choicest varie-
ties. In few more years Lyon coun-
~ will have thousands of barrels of
fruit for sale annually. We saw doz-
ems of orchards the limbs of the apple
trees of which were pulled down to
the ground all around with fruit. The
display of stock was exceedingly mea-
ger, and of farm products light. We
noticed some good corn, but little else
from the fields.
In the way of art, the only thing
noteworthy was Turk in full dress,
in wax. AS a work of art it would
rank high anywhere. We don't sup
pose il was formed or fashioned by a
resident of Lyon county, yet our adj
miration of its lines of grace and
beauty was not the less on that ac-
count.
The trotting and pacing races were
good and not marred by jockeying TO
any extent. From 2:3S to ESQ time
was made.
The fair was not a success financial
", as no fair in the state will be this
fall.
