SUFFERING KANSAS The BIGGEST FRAUD
OIIT

The visitation of the grasshoppers last
summer in Kansas was the biggest lay
out" for all the dead beats this side OF
Kingdom Come. As soon as the hoppers
bad got through stripping the crops,
many of these human grass-hoppers
started off for the East begging aid for
suffering Kansas. Many of them have
fllod their pockets with the money they
stole from credulous Eastern people in
name of Suffering Kansas" and have
not been heard Of since. We hear fire.
quently of such thieves, and their opera
lions in the East. The Kansas, people
know nothing abont "suffering Kansas,
only as they hear of it from eastern
friends and through the columns of cast
err papers. A few thieves have organ
lied aid societies, but their movements
are kept secret and are not generally
known to their ncighbors. There has
been, no doubt, semc suffering in a few
of the western counties, but there is no
occasion for relief being sought for out
side of those counties. At the special
session of the Legislature, law was
passed by which counties could vote
bonds to aid their own citizens. This
was all that was necessary. The coun-
ties generally are all prosperous, and the
outlook for crops, the next year, is giorl-
rious. Kansas never had finer pros
pect before her. The "aid askers," as
far as we can learn, are acting without
authority, and arc dead beats of the first
water. They are found in nearly all
the eastern cities and towns, represent
ing that 10000 Kansas people arc desti-
tutc. Such low-livsd liars should be
kicked " from Dan 10 Beersheba," by
number eighteen boots having frontage
of sharpened avis. These sinks are
damaging Kansas more than a series OF
grasshopper and drought years possibly
could. They are retarding immigration
by tho most damnable lies, every one OF
which should choke them to death as
they attempt to utter it. Something
should be done by State to put an end to
this Misrepresentation, or our citizens
generally will be soon classed through
out the world as tribe of paupers and
dead beats.
Mr.. E. A. Micks, who has just return
cd from Ohio, states that one A. Il
Standby from Jewell, Kansas,is circulat
ing in that State, and asking for aid fol
his county. We copy from one of biz
cards which he distributes, the follow
ing: "a. Ii. Standby, NJ. d., county
coroner, Jewell county; solicitor for the
Kansas Aid Society" In a corner o.
the card is the following: Sam. c. Bow
els, Secretary, Jewell Centre, Kansas.
Well wager what little we possess tina
"A. ii. Standby, NJ. d." is the wors
dead beat in Jewell county and thai
"Sam. G. Bowels, secretary" is another
We hope that something will be.done
and that very soon, to prevent any
further damage being done 10 Kansas by
these abominablc "aid seekers"

To-day the State has gone Democratic

Tho Funny Duck Of tho Tribune.

Of late the Manitowoc Tribune has had
. you'd be funny correspondent who signs
himself in several aliases, thereby showing
proper caution that when he sha II be sought
out by the Danbury News a. Especial for
Wisconsin, that he may not be known 10
the vulgar gaze of all men
The last issue Of the Tribune contains a
whols column, signed "a Candidate for
Alderman" while the editor cf that able On
sheet coudenses the whole abuse with plan
for the relief Of the hitherto gross oppres-
sion of per cent. city taxes, besides street
taxes that our taxpayers hsye groaned un-
der for several years. Perhaps it is sufi-
ciently weighty for the T,ibu1c's readers
if so We should not complain.
From the fippant manner in which he
treats this all important matter, we venture
10 say that the infantiIe production emana-
ted from one who never paid pennys
worth of taxes in this or any other town,
village or city in this or any other country,
and if assessed full valuation on his wits
could still roam at large in childish igno
Farce of such an Official as the city tax
gstlerer.
As to his Aldermanic ambitions We
would not discourage him, as in view of the
rapid decline of confidence in Radical rule
in this city, none can tell what day NAV
bring forth. If in their search for candi-
dates they should be compelled to drop from
their present standard one iota, they would
have 10 grab right lively for any drift wood
that sailed into their caueuses.
Start in Mr.. Candidate and take YOUR
chances in the Radical camp as you seem
to have the necessary impudence to attempt
70 be funny, you possibly might at,r.e.
partner in a street contract if you succeed
N getting into the Board of Aldermen.

might well inspire any simpleton

one hundred and fifty in fact, it embraces
nearly every man of worth and character
