Polk, the Ascending treasurer OF
Tennessee, is the reception of a ter
rible arrainment from the southern
press. Whatever else may be said OF
the southern people, their sense OF
honor is commendable. If the coun-
try at large was imbued with the same
spirit there would be less fraud prac-
ticed among public officials.-Queen
City Herald.
Ifou friend McAlister were given
to joking, we would surely conclude
that the above was merely q little
harmless sarcasm. But as twenty
years of gloom may be supposed to
have,cast shade of seriousness over
him it must be that he is In earnest,
and actually expects an innocent pub
lie to accept his statement as true.
Has he meyer heard the word "repudi-
alton" in connection with the people
of the south? Doesn't he know that
it has been the aim of every southern
State for twenty years, to get out of
paying its honest debts? Did not
Tennessee herself, by forcing her cred
itors to a settlement at fifty cents on
the dollar, give her State treasurer his
first lesson in fraud? Look up the
records, Mac, and be sure your Illus
trations fit the text before you preach
another sermon.

THAT POKER GAME.

TOPEKA, Feb. 9th, 1888.
To the lola Register:-I regret the
seriousness with which my statement
with reference to the poker game by
the committee on congressional appor-
tiOnment has been taken by THE REG
lister and other papers. I intended
that it should be taken as a little fun
on my part, and 1 desire to exonor.
ate the senator from Allen from any
and all charges growing out of such
statements. Yours truly,
A. P. HACKNEY.
The above communication would
seem to indicate that shat poker
game" didn't come off after all. We
are glad Senator Hackney perpetrated
bis little joke, however, for it has been
vastly entertaining to read the press
comments on the matter. Some look
ed upon it as very reprehensible, but
most Of them laughed at it, as we did
last week. 1t was far from our inten-
ton to prefer any charges against the
"senator from Allen" on account of
the part he took in the game {that
never was played), but if snch con-
struction was put upon the article we
are glad to be able to furnish proof
this week that the charges are ground
less .s -

THE temperance committee has re-
ported a bill to the legislature modify
ing the present temperance law in
some important particulars. The
rincipal item provides that anyone may
purchase liquor Of deuggist without
physicians prescription. by signing q
statement declaring that he wants it
for lawful purposes as defined by the
statute. These statements are filed in
the Office of the Probate Judge, who is
to preserve them for two years,
and if at any time 1t can
be proven that given state
ment was false, the person making it
will be deemed guilty of misdemean-
or and find from $50 to $500, or
imprisoned. Druggists shall also reg
lister all sales. There are also q few
other notifications. The bill is look
ed upon favorably by those who have
examined 1t, and it will probably be
passed.

HASKELL A REPUBLICAN, LEADER,


Years and labor, ill health and
strained nerves, rasping responsible
ty and the stress Of opposftion-all
these things are becoming painfully
apparent in the quaint figure and worn
face of the chairman of the ways and
means. Titular leadership will be his,
and the daily decisions of a leader in
debate must rest with him. Judge
Kelley is disposed to take no division
Of burdens at this point, tut the dash,
the physical push which drives
measures to q vote and to q decision
Is no longer his. For this men are
turning to Haskell, Of Kansas. Six
years of service have put him to the
front; six years more will make him q
national figure. With the supreme
good fortune to be sent to Congress at
"a years of age, he is now barely 40. A
tall New Highlander by birth, his hair
early gray, his long legs carry q roomy
frame aud strong head. Since he
came here in 1877, bis beard has grown
narrow, and bis clothes have improved,
as is apt to be the case with western
Congressman. His voice remains
what it was, q sort Of Kansas blizzard,
that saws its way through debate
without melody and with effect. He
surprised the Republican caucus last
Friday by his sharp, clear cut, COM
prehensive speech. His hearers felt
By instinct that he had got his full
stature, and that they secured leader.
A consistent protectionfst, q careful
StHdeat of the bill, familiar with its
work and working, this man, with bis
high forehead and straight profile, is
likely TO be conspicuous before the de-
bate is over. To no other man is the
tariff likely to owe more on the floor.

school girls, when in the midst of a
race with a sled one Of his linch-pins
