seems to be- skirmishing around for the
man with encouraging prospects of sue
cess.
Kansas City Times: Judge Thacher is
now sOjOurning at Lake Como. He re.
ports the fishing excellent, but the water
rather cool tor bathing purposes.
II will doubtless fill the soul of Major
Joseph X. Hudson. of the Topeka Cap
ital, with demOniac delight TO learn that
the manufacture of glucose no longer
pays.
If we have not oVer-estImatcd Col.
Anthony,s qualifications for holding
down an appropriation the government
building will be located ut Leaven-
worth.
Judge Hoadly, of Ohio, is:back from
Alabama and is repeating his remarka-
BILE mouth and foot performances to the
intense dedication of the Republicans
OF that state.
The country will probably escape the
Asiatic cholera, but the announcement
Is made that Anna Dickinson will re-
turn to the stage next season. 1t may
be better so.
The election of w. G. Perry, OF FIT
Scott, TO succeed John Martin as chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee is regarded as compliment
TO the young Democracy OF Kansas.
Mr.. Pulitzer thinks that leaving the
word "Only" out, and making the DEM
ocratic plank "a tariff for revenue" will
give the Democratic party 'all the room
they want 10 prance abound in"
politically speaking, John Martin has
really never done great deal of bust
ness at the old stand since Tom Fenlon
and the other fellows made shelf goods
of the minority platform at Emporia in
1882
Rochester Express: Mr.. Tilden is ac-
cused by Mr.. Hugh Hastings of having
when boy sold grated turnips for horse
radish. This charge can easily be DIS
proved by an alibi. Mr.. Tilden never
was boy.
Kansas City Times: Ii Mr.. Snoddy
speaks by the card, Kansas Republicans
ere enthusiastic tor Blaine. Mr. Arthur
may be expected &c cut short his trip to
the Yellowstone and camp out for few
days ut Bismarck Grove.
Ex- Congressman De La Matyr, of In.
diana, has returned TO the ministry and
is now preaching at Denver. 1t seems
that the reports of the sharp decline in
real estate at that place have not been
exaggerated.
The Democracy of Michigan demand
"tariif for revenue only" and such
revision of existing laws as will bring
the country TO that policy. 1t seems to
be the style just now for each Democrat
ic convention To strike out tor itself on
that question.
Mr.. Slade. the Maori, whose late en-:
gagement with MIR. Sullivan is still fresh
IN the public mind, is on his way to
Kansas City. We learn that he visits
that town in the interest of strike
check boys in the employ of the telC-
graph company.
The dispatches announce thai the
death of the Countess Dzialynska, nee
Countess Zamoyska, extinguishes the
Dzialynski family, one of the oldest of
Poland. And yet 1t is claimed that the
service of the telegraph company has
been badly crippled by the present
strike.
There seems TO DC a lie out, so to
speak, between Col. Charles Ford and
Governor Crittenden. 1t is pleasant to
reflect that the sharp division of public
sentiment which this condition of af-
fairs must inevitably create in Missouri,
was not precipitated upon the state dur
Ing dog days.
1t has not yet been announced that
Queen Victoria will positively be one of
the attractions at Bismarck Grove this
fall. We arc fearful that the enterprise
which once characterized the manage
ment of the Western National Fair AS
ISOLATION is rapidly becoming simply a
''splendld "Reminiscences"
Governor Click denies the report that
he is going to Iowa to stump the state
in opposition To prohibition. Without
pausing TO institute a comparison be-
tween the governor and his predecessor,
we must confess that we have always
rather admired the facility manifested
by the present incumbent for staying at
home.
Kansas City Times: MIR. Thomas
Fenlon speaks buoyantly of Democratic
prospects in Kansas, and this is IN no
way connected with Mr.. Fenlon's pro.
jected romance. He deals in facts with
precision and certainty, and entirely in
dependent of the reputation he enjoys as
a skillful laborer in the realm of fiction.
Atchison Patriot: Mr.. w. c. Perry,
of Fort Scott, who succeeds Hon. John
Martin as chairman of the state central
committee, was formerly partner of
General @. w. Blair. He is lawyer by
profession, and Democrat of the truest
metal. We have no doubt but tina. he
will creditably fill the responsible posi-
ton to which he has been chosen.
Rev. DIR. Power, pastor of the Garfield
Memorial church at Washington, thinks
there are more devout men IN public life
than is commonly supposed. This may
be true, but even the Doctor, We think,
will cOncede that it is comparatively
easy for the popular mind to be misled
in this regard. We have observed that
whenever Christians embrace politics as
business they almost invariably take
in their religious signs.
DR.. A. p. Tenny, superintendent Of
the State Insane Asylum at Topeka
) says the impression that the proportion
of insane people in Kansas is unusually
large, is erroneous There are many
crazy people because the population Is
large. Most of US fail to realize tha
Kansas has over one million inhabitants
The proportion OF insane is one in one
thousand. In Great Britain and Ire
: land il is one in three hundred. TIL.
: older the community, as q rule, tn,
: larger the proportion of insane.
William D. Kelley, chairman of tn
state central committee, having IN charg
the selection Of delegates to the natlona
J convention of colored men, has issued
tcircular earnestly requesting that mas
meetings be held in all localities havin
two hundred voters, for the purpose c
elecIing delegates TO attend the stat
a convention called at Lawrence Augu.
e so. The basis of representation will b
Fl one delegate for every two hundred CO
o ored voters. The national convenho
