AIIrTLE MUDDY.

On the principle that the exception
proves the rule, the unanimous and
ponderols grunbling that has been
done this week on account of the
weather, would surely indicate that
such "spelis" are exceedingly rare in
Kansas. We are glad to say that there
has been very little swearing. which
is doubtless due to the high moral
character of the citizens of lola. 1t may
be accounted for also, on the theory Of
q friend Of ours who claims that no
man could do the subject justice unless
he.bad command of the profanity of at
least seventeen lauguages). Never
the less there has been no trouble in
finding on. that it is muddy. We
kept count Monday and Tuesday, OF
the number of times that some body
told us that it was muddy, and it was
745 or 746 times. And each fellow
made the remark, too, as If it was re-
ally matter of news; something that
only be had found out. just as an illus
fration of the difficulty local editor
has in hunting up items; we started
ont Tuesday and asked twenty men,
one after the other, if they could give
us an item. Nineteen out of the
twenty, by actual count, said swell,
don't know. You might say that
it's little muddy" The twentieth,
probably perceiving that We were well
nigh exhausted, mercifully modified
his answer and said, swell, / don't
know. Rather disagreeable weather."
We thanked him from the bottom of
our heart for his brilliant variation on
a theme that was getting decidedly
threadbare, and returned to our den to
ponder over the old maxim, "Great
minds run i'm the same channel"
All that was Monday and Tuesday,
And it was pretty muddy then. Not
very deep mud, but just regular sticky,
nasty, slippery mud (the same as any
other mud) that never let you forget
it was there. And the air seemed to
be as muddy as the ground. Indeed
we believe that if the man who was
arrested for carrying a knife, had ex-
planned that he carried it to cut his
way through the atmosphere, the de-
tense would have been decided good
and sufficient. Unfortunately, how
ever, he had not employed us as his
attorney, SO he had to pay five dollars
and costs That should be solemn
warning to all those who are liable to
be in need of an attorney.
But to get back to the mud. Solid
ground is mighty good thing. So is
water. But two good things mixed
are very apt to make one bad thing,
and good ground mixed with good
water has t'downed" as many men as
that other mixture of good things sold
lin Kansas under the name of "other
drinks" If there is anything that
will keep anything else from happen
ing, it is mud. If there is anything,
besides innate cussedness, that makes
q man want to break all his resolu-
tons, and swear and drink and abuse
his nejghbor as himself, it is mud. III

Last year Mr.. Hendricks went into Ohio
to advocate the election of Governor Allen
upon platform of reputation. But he was
so evidently mindful of the nominations of
this year that he dissatisfied both sides of
his party, and has been laughed at with
good deal OF contempt ever since for his des-
perate struggles to sit on so sharp fence.
But his real sympathies were understood,
and he was the presidential candidate of the
most dangerous wing of his party. Foresee-
ing sure defeat with such candidate, how
ever, and having decided that their most
plausible "cry" was reform, the managers
prevented his securing the first place, but
nominated him for the vice presidency, thus
proclaining Enthusiastically both the insincer-
NY OF thelr cry OF reform and the power of
the Democratic regulators,
No man who is familiar with public af-
fairs and men would claim that Mr.. Hen

form than Fernando Wood, and no more
stands for what the Democratic platform de-
clares to be the cardinal necessities of the
time than any other familiar Democratic pol
ltlcian in the country. His association with
Mr.. Tilden upon the ticket is an llustra-
ton OF the hollow pretence of the Democrat
II campaign. There may be Democrats who
in some way represent sagacious Judgment
and craftsmanship, and the elevation of po-
ltical life, as Mr.. Wheeler does among the
Republicans; hut Mr.. Hendricks is no more
one of them than Isaiah Rynders.
