READ OUT OF THE PART Y.

The Leavenworth Times, in quoting
the EAGLES editorial touching the
proposition to read certain papers out
of The Republican party, says it will
be the other way. The Times then
adds:
1--WE do not recognize the power of
the kickers to effect the status of any
body else, though they may kick so
hard as to turn over backwards them
selves and lodge in diminutive close
corporation of their own. We Re
publicaus. however, will remain about
as we are, with the name and princl-
pies cherished rs dearly as in the grand
old days gone by, when cranks and
fanatics were still unborn.
As there is no law against combina-
tions. neither laws of the party nor
laws of the state, ii is not Improbable
that one may be informed. For in
stance, the regular Republicans may
reasonable people, and they may be
endorsed by the Democracy. This
would avoid having three or four or
five tickets in the field, and there is no
doubt but that such ticket would be
elected by an overwhelming majority.
The scheme could be CARRIED into
the legislative districts, the two par
ties giving and taking, and the result
would be that the close corporation
fellows would wake up some morn
ing and find themselves the unhappy
possessors of beautiful black (ened)
eyes.
This scheme may be a novel one,
but il is reasonable, and the only one
that will rid Kansas OF the burden
placed on her by politicians. and
which has been retained through the
cowardlcc and insincerity of the same
class of people.

HUMPHREY REAPPoINTED.

The rcappointment of Judge Hum
phrev a railroad commissioner by the
executive council will meet the hearty
approval of a large majority of the
citizens of the state, regardless of
party. Judge Humphrey commands
respect and confidence for the difficult
position of railroad commission, not
only for his acknowledge ability, but
because of his integrity, which no one
doubts The problems connected
with the subjects of trans
poriation rs related to the COM
panies. the people and the laws,
require wears of earnest. laborious
study. Iii worthy that commission
crS who have proven themselves
worthy the positions be retained in
stead of putting in new men who
would have to cXpend years in be-
coming familiar with subjects brought
before the board.
Judge Humphrey is a Democrat and
in his appointment the executive
council has followed the provisions of
the law requiring one Democrat upon
the board. No better man could have
been found in the Democratic party
for the position, nor, we may add, IN
our judgment. in any other party
tapital.

SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS.

A Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Journal talks this way
about the growth of Southwestern
Kansas towns /:
Minneapolis was to-day declared a
city of the second class. The growth
of this little city has been wonder
full, equalled only by some of the cities
in southern Kansas, where the citizens
go to sleep in small village and wake
up to find themselves in city of the
third class. They make out necessary
papers, send a committee down to To-
peka to secure the governors procla-
nation to that effect, and within
rwenty four hours telegraph to their
committee to stop proceedings as
they will send on another with
proper papers 10 create themselves
into CITY of the second class. Such
has been the history of Cheney, Atti-
ca. kiowa and a dozen other towns in
the southern tier. Not only are rail-
road trains doing good service by
hauling people to southern and south
eastern Kansas, but wagon trains will
oitentimes with more than twenty
teams, may be seen headed that way,
and counties are rapidly filling up, not
only is this section being rapidly
settled, but also central, western and
northern Kansas are being occupied
by the thrifty immigrant. Never be-
fore has there been such tide of peo-
pie impelled by the Kansas idea.

EDITOR e. AZETrE:--in a late num-
her of your paper few quotations are
made from a communication from one
II. NJ. Kelly, to Colman's Rural World,
IN which he sees fii to dcnonnce what
he is pleased TO call the folly ot ILL.,
noi> farmers moving TO Kansas" The
one point of excellence in Mr.. keliy's
letter Is. that he vindicates his own
state: but we wish TO enter our protest
against his doing so by unfair COM
parison with Kansas. lie reports our
four or five wears of successive good
crops as phenomenal seasons" but
closes his ewes TO the fact that these
same seasons have been phenomenal
failures in Illinois, which operates rs
he prime cause OF the present exodus
from that state. lie tells of a wonder
ful Weld of timothy in a certain local
itv. and adds that if such a crop had
been produced in any portion of the
state of Kansas, il would have been
heralded TO every state IN the UNION.
Acknowledging Mr.. Kelly's tribute to
our enterprise. we will adopt his logic,
that if we had had three successive
crop fixtures in Kansas he would
doubtless have Joined the chorus of
denunciation which would have spread
all over the land. We submit here
that no state in the west has suffered
more from Unjust criticism than Kan
sas. but the tide of immigration now
flowing into the state evinces that the
whole truth is out. and that the masses
cannot be deterrad by scolding con-
tributors. Mr.. Kelly claims TO have
land in Kansas which he wishes to
sell and buy more in Illinois, If he
has good lands in this state he can
find ready purchaser at fair
value. or he can exchange 1t for
farming land in any comfy IN ILL
nois. "Our Illinois," he says, sis set
IN blue grass and white clover, and
we quit feeding earlier in the spring
and begin later in the fall than Is
done in Kansas" We envy our sis
ter state the broad acres of blue
grass, but are quite content TO yield
her the palm for white clover, but
the humor. YES. the irresistible fun
which Mr.. Kelly crowds into his last
statement. can only be appreciated by
the hapless Kansas farmer who wadcs
in iuterminabie snow TO feed his stock
in Nav. and signs for the good old
DAYS when he turned them out To
plentiful grass in Early February in
his native Illinois. kANsAN.
