C0nkling and the Rest.



We do not know as anybody ex-
poets that The Sun will shoot off its
mouth on this Conkling matter, and
probably it is not necessary, but we
ask permission to say that the coun-
try will go right along prospecting if
Conkling is retired and Garfield
never lives a week. Conkling is like
boy who has clerked in store un-
til he has come to the conclusion
that he is indispensable, and that if
he should leave the store the bust
ness would go to the deuce. We
have known boys, under such cir
cumstances, to get the big head, and
leave, and then come around in
few days to see if the shutters were
up, and when he found that bust
ness was going right along, and that
another boy had taken the vacant
place, the retired boy would be SO
astonished that he would be sick to
his stomach. Sometimes when a
boy gets the big head like that, he is
discharged, and then he is apt to
mediate revenge. He may burn the
store down, and think that he has
done a big thing, but when he serves
his term in prison for arson, and
gets back to town, and finds that the
store has been rebuilt better than
ever, and has larger stock of goods,
and that boys that were under him
have become partners in the bust
ness, then he realizes what a collos-
sal jackass he is. There is no one
man or boy who is indispensable in
any branch Of business, or in any
government, and when one shows
that he feels that everything rests on
him, the sooner he puts his coat on
and goes to look for another job the
better for all concerned. Conkling
is great big boy. He has been
spoiled by flattery, and has made
people afraid of him. He is like a
great bully who has the reputation
of being a fighter, and who is over
bearing Some day the bully al
ways picks on" a person that seems
to be timid, and finally the timid,
retiring person gets his back up and
whips the bully SO he has to be car
ried home on a dray, and he does
not get out of the house III month.
But when he comes out again he is
no longer bully. He becomes the
most meek and lowly citizen, and
seems to ask pardon Of everybody.
Now is the time for the people of
New York and the country to thrash
this bully until his own family will
have to be introduced to him. Gar
field has kicked him, and now let
the New York legislature come down
on him like a pile driver, and be-
tween the two he will be SO condens-
ed that the only thing he will be fit
for will be dwarf in a circus. He
might attempt, after that, to commit
arson on the republican party, but
if that party is insured it will come
out all right. Certainly, the coun-
try has got tired Of hearing nothing
but Conkling and his quarrels, and
if he is not squelched now, then the
republican party should be sent to
an asylum for the feeble-minded.

Richland Farmer.

He is walking geography Of the
state, knows every conductor, brake
man, bell-bcy, conductor and
chambermaid III the northwest and
writes more fun III week than any
of the rest of the boys do in month.
There are quite a number of squib
writers, and some very clever sketch
writers, notably those Of the Detroit
Free Press, Brooklyn Eagle, and
Galveston News, though the Gal
weston News is considerably the
best paper Of that class. There is
Bob Burdette, of the Burlington
Hawkeye, Bill Nye of the Boom
erang, and Griswold, of Cincinnati,
that write funny stories, but we
must say that Peck is the most
prolific writer of undiluted fun in
existence. His style of writing is
entirely different from the rest Of
them, Bill Nye's bearing closer re-
semblance than others. Peck's fun
is appreciated by everybody, in
Guiding the children. They can
all understand II. 1t is like a farce
on the stage-all laughter from the
60 in. Peck is q public benefactor
"a sure cure for the dyspepsia and
blues-for five cents a copy. Take

Items from Peck's Sun.

A dispatch states that q Detroit
man committed suicide Wednesday,
and that it "was caused by despair,
brought on by grief" The grief, we
suppose, was superinduced by sor-
row, the result of melancholy.
Bob Ingersoll says that the star
route people are honest and all right
and that the Bible is all wrong. He
also says that Hayes was elected
fair. Ingcrsoll loves truth for truth S
sake, and hates everything that is
wrong; and we guess that he will
admit it, too, if he is cornercd right
down.
Negroes from Kansas and Indiana
who left the southern states at the
time the exodus prevailed, are going
back by thousands. The big wages
and kind friends they found in the
north were too rich for their enfebled
condition, and they are fastening
back to the shot guns and chivalry
OF the sanguinary south. There is
nothing a mig yer likes SO well as to
roll up his trousers and wade in
blood; it feels warm and tickles his
toes.
The exposition corner stone was
laid in good shape Saturday, and
everybody cackled and happedltheir
wings Now let the good work go
on, and in the fall we will display
our pumpkins and send for Hayes.
Nennor says the winter of 1882
will be an exceptionally open and
mild one. Crawtishl
Jay Gould has at last got to work
on railroad on Mexican soil. As
he is man that never says much
about his personal affairs, it is not
known who he intends leaving Mex
leo to, III his will
Bob Ingersoll says he never goes
upon the platform to deliver lee
ture without a sense of danger, and
feeling that he may be shot. He
evidently forgets that those who are
opposed to him are people who be-
lieve in the Bible Ii it was infidels
that he abused, he would doubtless
have got his Cruel long ago.
