OVER THE STATE.

In the Naturalization Record.
We move to amend by striking out the
word sorghum"
Farming pays better than politics IN
Jewel county, and the soil in that part
of the state is not much to brag on
either.
It is believed that a mild cathartic
would ease up the distress which Marsh
Murdoch, Web Wilder and Sol Miller
seem to be suffering over the extra ses-
sion of the legislature.
If minister should visit Atchison
and preach religion, the Globe of that
city thinks he would create a profound
sensation. The law of supply and de-
mand seems to operate in the clerical
profession just as it does In any other
avocation.
The following vile slur is from the
Cincinnati Commercial g Gazette:
A bottle was found Yesterday IN a car
which had come from Kansas filled with
corn for the food sufferers. The bottle
bore the following unique label: "This
bottle Is dry and SO are we. Din pro-
hibition in Kansas"
Prof. Canfield, OF the state university,
who has gone out of his way to Undue
the students of that institution with
English free trade theories for some
years does not seem to be overly influ-
entail in the institution. In a vote of
the students on the subject there were IS
protectionists and only 81 free traders.
The free traders make a good deal the
most noise so that the impression had
gone over the state that it was a very hot
bed of freetradeism.
A coterie of colored men ct Topeka
with newspaper at their backs are try
| ing to organize fight on State Auditor
McCabe. We regret to see this. Nc
Cabe Is respectable man and a good
officer, so tar as we are advised, and de-
serves reelection. Colored Republicans
certainly cannot make anything by fight
ing one of their number who has had
the good fortune TO be honored by the
Republican voters of the state. We
should suppose it would be TO their in
interest to rally to McCabe's support
lest they lose what they have for years
been fighting for and what they have
gained by the hardest work.
The Hiawatha World comes out
agin the "foot and mouth disease"
It says:
CATER an expert had been sent all the
way from the agricultural department
at Washington to NeoshO Falls, aud the
Kansas legislature had got bill already
to pass, that gentleman, Professor Sal
mon, reports TO the commissioner
THAT after thorough investigation OF
the disease at Neosho Falls, Kansas, he
has concluded that it is not genuine foot
and mouth disease, but is due to local
conditions, and there is no danger of II
spreading to other sections"
Yes, but another expert sent out by
the agricultural department looked al
the diseased cattle and said emphatically
it was the foot and mouth disease Whai
are you going TO do about thatG
Political gossip has 1t that Rev. VIM
Bishop, of SaliDa, will be IN the field fol
state superintendent of public instruc
ton, while Senators Aller, OF Leaven
worth, Riddle, of Girard, Long, of Win
field, and Mr.. Kelley, of the Mcpherson
Freeman, will enter the race for lIeuten
ant governor. VIM. Higgins, of Par
sons, II. L. Millard, chief clerk of thu
house, DIR. Allen, of Wichita, and j. Lei
knight, of Topeka, will figure for tn,
position of secretary of state Clogston
of Eureka, will be attorney general, i
he can get votes enough, and he IS
strong man. No one seems disposed (,
tackle the colored brother of the auditor
Office, or Mr.. Howe, state treasurer.
1t Is all very we'll for editors an,
learned communication writers to raw
about the cattld disease being caus
ed by lack of care and from muddy feet
The disease broke oct when the mercur
was ranging from SIX 20 twenty degree
below zero, and we should like for som
body to tell US how much mud existe,
at that time. Messrs. Goodrich an
Beard whose herds were affected, tn
former having about forty cases IN
heard of ninenty. are we'll to DO meI
= and few herds of cattle in the state hav
had better care or better iced. The sam
may be sasd OF the herd of the Germa
/ south of Neosho Falls. These thre
