The fact that Governor Sprague is
fairly committed :, The shot gun policy.
is likely to render him very unpopuler
with the Stslwa,ts of Rhode BLAND.
The suspicion that the Marion Record
is not supporting Judge Muse. of New
ion, for railroad commissioner. has. By
some means, invaded the public mind.
DIR. E. b. Allen. of Wichiia. is en-
dorsed by the Eagle for railroad COM
missioner. 1t takes an awfully hard
season'to winter kill the .sOhio idea' in
the souihw-s'.
\ nam in southwestern Kansas is said
to be the owner of a twenty-four pound
calf. II is very evident from the Lili-
pution size of this story, that it never
originated with Marsh Murdoch.
Charlie Foster has an ic ga of running
for a third term as governor of Ohio. a
peculiar phase of the mania for suicide
which is sweeping the country is its
liability to strike in ga politicians
A number of Kansas journals seem 10
be opposed to the appointments of Mr..
Bonebrake TO the board of railroad CON-
missioners. and yet we think It will be
admitted that Pete SHOULD be taken
care of.
The Topeka Capital. more, We infer
as a matter of Journalistic courtesy than
of news, notes the fact that Hon A. L.
Redden, of Butler county, was seen
about the state house yesterday. The
executive council must be buckliHg
down to its knitting.
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, is
impressed with the idea that "Dayid
Davis would make grand presidential
candidate" 1t may be that he would,
but the propriety OF mixing up politics
with the sweets of an old mans honey
moon is, to say the least, open to de-
bate
Commenting upon the application of
the descendants of Columbus for pen
sion, an eastern paper expresses the
opinion that since the election of Ben
Butler-as governor of Massachusetts,,
and Tabor to the senate, the discovery OF
America has become matter of regret
to all parties concerned.
The rumor that Col D. R. Anthony
will go abroad as a representative of the
United States government is pronounced
to be inaccurate. II is asserted upon
altitudinous authority that the Colonel
prefers giving his attention TO home
rather than foreign, missions, as long as
Congressman Anderson is identified with
Kansas politics.
The fact that workingmen ceased
their labors and that the entire ma
chinery OF the British government
"slowed down. yesterday when Queen
Victoria fell and slightly injured her
knee, Is not a source of radiant encour-
agement TO the Parnell school Of states
men, who predict the early downfallOf
royalty in the United Kingdom.
Sesutor Edmunds possesses many OF
the qualifications of strong candidate
for the notional campaign of 'e4. but we
fear he is Ineligible by virtue of his
failure, in early life, to move west and
grow up with the country. BY some
mysterious provision of nature il seems
that the stuff of which presidents are
made has ceased To grow ON the Atlantic
seaboard
The Ellsworth reporter seems to be
troubled in view Of the fact that undeE
the new superintendent Anderson and
Hanback, are both in the same district,
AS we view the matter there is really
no cause for the slightest misgiYings.
Anderson will probably rise with the
requirements OF the occasion, and Prov

1t is probable that nine on; of every
ten men who voted for Governor Click
expect some sort of return for it, and as
they will not get it, Mr.. Click may be-
come the most completely damned man
in the state before the end of his term =
Atchison Globe.
Anyhow it is entirely safe to say that
the fair form OF Mr.. Click will not or
nament the gubernatorial chair more
than one term.
The attention OF the regents of the
State University is directed TO
the statement made by the Law
renee Journal that the class In Eng
IIsh Literature will attack 'McCauly's'
essays next week" 1t is very evident
to even the casual reader that such an
innovation upon its established curric-
ulum would prove disastrous TO the in
terests of the institution:
1t is understood that Nine. Patti has
consented to sing at Kansas City, in case
she can be securely quarantined against
the insidious satire of newspaper wood
cuts and the poetic onslaughts of the To-

Losvenwnrth Times Much praise is
bestowed upon Auditor SicOabe for the
efficiency shown by him in his office.
and for his uniformly gentlemanly and
courteous treatment of all who go TO his
Office. Those who have entered his Of
fee with feeling akin to prejudice,
have left it changed, adding their testi-
mony to the general verdict that Hon.
E p. McCabe is the right man in the
