commissioners were loaded for bear."-
A. E. Touz4lIn.
"Don'I let the rascals in - shTieks the
Kansas City Star. We always sup
posed the Star was Democratic paper.
81 see that Mr.. GIllett accepts. That
iswhat / should probably have done un-
der like circumstances."-R. w. p
Muse.
A chance tor the girls: Foreign no
blemen are SAID to be plenty in Florida
Hadn't some of you better go down
there?
The Yankee life insurance agent has
invaded Paris. Truly the American hog
has BEEN summarily and awfully
avenged.
We think that it will be conceded that
the railway commissioners of Kansas and
the ground hog Lave been trIumphantly
indicated.
Mr.. Touzalin is now in condition to
sympathize with the man who thrust
biz finger into buzz-saw TO ascertain
ii It was in motion.
The Kansas Cay Times is just now
devOting a good deal OF it's valuable
space to the formation of Riggs clubs
in the Second district.
Kansas City Times: Pawnee City, Ne
braska, had musical convention" last
Friday night. This looks like taking a
mean advantage of poor flood bound
Cincinnati.
II is said that men always marry their
opposites. If this is true We regard It
safe to assume that Mrs. Tom Ochiltree
would burn at the stake before she
would tell lie.
Mr.. Morrison calls his tariff battling
"horizontll" bill. We shouldn't won
der if it would be laid out flat enough
10 merit that name before congress gets
through with it.
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat is bit
terly hostile TO a monopoly 10 gas. 1t
seems that the editor Of that paper has
not yet been "seen" by Hon. s. A. Riggs,
of the Second district.
We wonder that some advocate of
personal liberty" in Odio doesn't seize
the present opportunity to get even with
the prohibitionIsts by taking the field
with lecture on The Water Curse"
"Thsre can no longer be question in
the mind of any Intelligent man that the
railway commission of Kansas Is howl
ing iailuTe."-Jas. +. Legate, r. w. P.
Muse, T. Higginboiham Murdoch, ct al.
The Bank of England has floating
balance of 100000, 900, and the bank
notes, If stretched together end TO end,
would reach distance of 12 $50 miles.
1t won't be 50 long after the Egyptian
war.
Our Democratic congress has been in
session over two months, and has passed
a bill-in the house-te restore Fitz
John Porter 10 what would have been
his rank in the army had he been true to
his duty.
The first lady" business at
Washington is becoming almost as
ridiculous as the ancient SQUAD
Bile about the kind of clothes an
American minister should wear at q
foreign court.
OF course it is understood that the
aqueous advantages which have been
developed at Cincinnati during the past
week, have effectually demolished the
CHAINS of that city in connection with
the National Democratic convention.
The charge of frivolty is preferred
against a California judge and the speci
ficalion is that he puts his hair up IL
papers at night 10 make it curl the NIX
day. Let's see; we do not remember o.
any young man who ever went to Cali
fornia from Topeka, and was elected II
the bench.
The ancient writers tell US of ele
plants in their time that walked thu
tight-rope. There IS at least one In
stance on record of person sitting OF
an elephants back while the quadru
ped walke1 across the theatre upon
rope stretched from one side to the
Other. Now If Mr.. Forepsugh wishes
to excel Mr.. Barnum, he should no
waste his money on some scabby beas
of alleged sacred character. hut hunt al
a good lively elephant that can perform
on the flying trapez.
