Mr.. Crouch desires to dispose of the
Florence Herald. He should place
himself in correspondence with Jay
Gould or E. B. Purcell without delay.
quin Miller has ceased writing
poetry since he married that rich widow.
A movement in the direction of public
testimonial to Mrs. Miller is plainly in
order.
We have failed to note in the post
office appointment, made since the meet
ing of congress, that Mr.. Mckee has
succeeded Col. Dan. r. Anthony, at
Leavenworth.
1t is said that Governor PItkin stands
a fair chance of being elected senator
from Colorado. A man with a silver
mine is in the direct line of political
preferment in the Centennial state.
While the great literary foreigners are
dying off very rapidly, the public should
not close its eyes on the mournful
fact that Oscar Wilde is in the enjoy

yet succeeded in procuring a muzzle
that will fit Congressman Anderson.

pie 10 allow himself to be subsidized by

1t should be noted that the Republi-
can party seems to be capable of "tak-
ing hint when it is offered by the

If the present congress could manage
to exhibit an unhesitating devotion
solely to the best interests of the coun-

might wind up its career with perfect
boom. The stars would then be pro-
pitious.
Senator Logan is again grinding his
knives for Fitz John Porter's scalp.
If he succeeds in discriminating that
perennial fraud it will be readily con-
ceded that he will be a mighty promis-

1884. Republics are not utterly devoid
of gratitude.
1t is boldly asserted thatSenator Voor-
hees has determined to be positive on
something of a political nature; that

bees is very cautious and deliberate
statesman.
A. G. Stacey, editor of the North To

mouth of the Kaw.
1t looks now as if Hon. T. Dwight
Thacher will have no opposition, but
will be unanimously elected for second
term as state printer This is as it
should be. There are lew if any men in
Kansas that deserve better things at the
hands of his party than Mr.. Thacher,
and as he has made NEST acceptable
officer there should be no question as 10
his reelection.

man may be regarded as foregone con-
clusion.
