A HIGH OLD TIME.

Tie Topeka Journal (Democratic) at
,acks our Bailey Waggener. who aspires to
be United States district attorney. The
journal favors W. c. Perry, Of Fl. Scott,
who. i, saws. spent his time and money
dur;ng the campaign for the success of the
Democratic ticket. The Journal wants to
know wha, Mr.. Waggener was doing during
the campaign.
The Kansas City Times publishes an ar
ticle fayoring General Chas. W. Blair, OF
Kansas, for the position of Secretary of the
Interior. This is the place which Governor
Clicks friends have been asking for him, and
which the governor, it is alleged, very much
desires. The Democratic party is divided
into two hostile camps, one recognizing the
Governor AS chief. and the other rallying
around Gen. Blair. The latter Is the mem
Der of the Democrat national committee
for Kansas. The great, absorbing question
IN no decided. Is: Who shall control the
Federal patronage for Kansas. Click or
Rlairs II is stated that, with the probable
execution Of Tom Fenlon. the BLAIR party
has cartured most Of the prominent Demo
Gratis of the state. and Is backed by the
democratic state central committee. Gov
,,lick. il is said. is solid with Hendricks,
hu, 5oubt prevails as to how much int'u-
once the rarrulous Indiana statesman Is go
i.,v TO have with Cleveland. A dim, duh
suspicion begins to haunt the minds OF
Democratic aspirants that Hendricks may
not be ..solidr with his chief.
There is 'small cloud IN the sky thai
threatens to spread, connected with the es'
tablshmen, of Democratic paper al 10
peka. The scheme was to purchase the Cap
i.al and change its politics. Inc 'ourha
kicks at the attempt TO ignore 1t, and has
announced that it will publish morning
edition after the lst Of January. III Is said
that Gov. Click is prominently identified
with this Democratic scheme Tor the pur'
chase of the Capital, and the Journals en-
dorsemen, Of Perry, who belongs to tho
Blair faction, gives color TO this suspiei"'--
Champion.

Kansas First Experience With the
Party of Spells.


About the silliest thing the Democrats
can do is TO claim that thee are innocent OF
Pusev's defalcation. The facts are that they
were in daily intercourse with him and knew
perfectly well what he was doing. The
truth is that they took the drinks and ate
the oysters, knowing that Pussy paid the
bills with stolen money.-Leayenworth
Times.
There are few reconstructed Democratic
editors in Kansas who have done nothing
but slobber over Clicks administration and
denounce the &c. o. p" The truth is, that
during Kansas two years experience under
Democratic rule there has been more jobs,
more extra and uncalled for expenses, and q
greater number of steals than under any five
Republican administrations of the state
since its existence. The Pussy defalcation
or forgery is only one of the things
which have very unpleasant look
about that penitentiary. There is
another thing. The entire stock
in trade if these same editors for the las,
c:.inpaign was the Oft repeated assertion
that the state institutions had all been prac-
tically put under non-partizan control;that is
Click had put his democratic patriots in n.
fast as he could find chances. One Of thes'
institutions is the State Normal school. W,
have it, and from good authority, that
Clicks board, some time this fall, trans
ferred all the endowment lands of that stat,
school to syndicate or to bank president
for the nominal price of SO per acre, ant
that the purchaser proceeded to New York
where be placed them in innocent purchas
ers hands, SO that they are beyond ih'
control of the state. To talk about Republi
can corruption in the face of all the ques
tionable transactions and extraordinary ex
penses Of Clicks administration involves M
little gall

The Oldest Almanac.

If any book deserves the name of
"irrepressible," it is the almanac. Not
withstanding its great antiquity, it is
still important; and though we grow
old, it renews its youth every year, and
greets us with kind of good-natured
"Here i am again" The Oldest alma
nae in existence is an Egyptian one,
and may be seen in the British muse
UNI. Buried nearly three thousand
years ago with some human contempo-
rary of Rameses the great, it has been
brought to light again. and copied in
fac-simile. Twenty-Five columns are
wholly or partially preserved. The
fortunate days are marked in black
ink, and the unfortunate in red-a
curious instance of a superstition
which European nations have revers-
ed 1t contains observations about re-
lgious ceremonies, cautions against
unlucky times, and predictions as to
the fate of children born on certain

White House Flowers.

"How many flowers are in the con-
servatory?" asked an American SOW
eregn of the White House gardener.
"Over 5000 in the conservatory
proper, and $4,000 in the other hot
houses. The number is largely in
creased every year. Plants are here
from nearly every country on the globe.
"What are they used for?"
"The White House is decorated ev-
cry day with from $50 to 800 plants
Towering. tropical and foliage. For
state, cabinet and public dinners and
receptions, the decorations are more
elaborate. Every room is decorated
except the east room; and tina. was
until the public, who are admitted
without restriction to the east room
from 10 until 3 o'clock daily, began
to steal the plants and even the pots
for mementoes, suppose;" and the
gardener looked Disguised.
"How many men are employed"
"EIeven. One head gardener at
S14O0, one assistant at $75 month,
four gardeners at $50, two laborers at
SIS, and three at $1.25 a day. We do
all the work of the White House

The Poet Laureato,s Homo Life.

A London letter to the Philadelphia
Press says; "Tennyson passes most of
his days at Farringford, surrounded by
the lovely and romantic scenery for
which the Isle Of Wight is noted. He
spends on an average six to eight
hours day in his library engaged in
literary work. Orders are always given
that he shall not be interrupted ex-
cept for most momentous reasons, and
he neveris, for tho members Of his
household and his servants think his
making of line of quite as much inn
portance as the creation Of a new
world-an opinion which it is need
less to say he fully shares. Perhaps IL
his wife (she was Emily Sellwood)
were dying she might venture to have
him informed of the fact during his
hours of work. She would not be
willing that his sanctuary should be
profaned for any less cause, because
she religiously believes that William
Shakespeare is scarcely the equal of
Alfred Tennyson. If she were capa-
BILE of forming or cherishing any other
opinion, it is doubtful whether he
would live with her. She probably
preserves her connublal place by the
most rapturous worship and the most
absolute self-effacement. There have
been awful instances of the invasion
of Tennyson's library while he was in
the throes of composition, owing to the
relaxed vigilance of his domestic drag
ons. The scenes that followed can
hardly be described. The poet in his
wrath ragged like mad threatening to
destroy the intruder, and literally tear
ing the little hair he has left. The
very idea of interrupting Alfred Ten
nyson in his hours of divine inspira-
ton seemed to him monstrous beyond
belief, hideous crime eternally I'M
pardonable. He has never, l believe,
made any physical assault upon an UNI
fortunate intruder, though it would
have been supposed from his furious
demonstrations thathe could appeased
with nothing short of homicide.
