The Democrats of Kansas appear to be
as completely handicapped in the matter
of choosing a candidate for governor as
the party at large was in regard to a
presidential candidate, though the situa-
ton is not of as long standing here. The
prediction was made as soon as it was
known in November, 1894, that Cleve-
land had been elected that he would
enforce his own denomination ON his
party this year. The prediction was
likewise made Immediately the har-
monizing performance took place in the
convention in this city last month be-
teween Martin and Click, that Martin
would, or had, become the inevitable
with the party. How fully both pre-
dictions have been verified thus far need
hardly be mentioned, being occurrences
of the immediate now. But one-man
party is in the same category of the one
idead party in this country, i. e., it is too
exclusive to suit the catholicity of the
popular Republican sentiment of our
people-it can't win.

The Kansas City Times reaches us with
the painful intelligence that every male
member of the Fate Mexican tourney
party is sick save the editor of The
EAGLE. While we are extremely sorry,
we cannot forego the opportunity to
again emphasize our oft repeated dec
laration that the average Kansas editor
is altogether too good for the tempta-
tons and excuses of Astic life.

Cooper, the New York member of the

that Mr.. Cooper is tolerably numerous

able to reproduce the proofs upon which
their claims were heretofore allowed, by
reason of the death Of witnesses, destruc-
ton of records, etc., and that after
spending, in some cases nearly or quite
as much as they are entitled to receive
were their claims paid in full, in prose-
cutting the same for allowance by the de-
partment before which they were pre-
viously tried and approved.
There seems to be no reasonable ex-
cuse for hating and higgling oyer this
matter by the government. 1t cannot
be that it has not been properly pre-
sented by the representatives of the peo-
pie Immediately interested. for it has been
clearly presented and urged in both
houses Of congress by the senators and
representatives, especially OF Kansas,
Arkansas, Texas and Colorado; nor can
it be on account of lack of funds, when
there is lying idle in the treasury more
than one hundred millions Of money for
which the government has no use. 1t
would seem useless to speak of this mat
ter now and at this distance, but the in
justice that is being done many of our
own fellow-citizens impels US to thus
briefly call the attention of those whose
duty it is to look after this and other
matters OF interest to the people at the
seat of government to it, that perchance
it may receive the consideration it
merits.

leaped from her skin. Her face grew
black, and her wide. staring eyes fairly

TO q dull red, the eyes slowly closed, and
the girl began to breathe again.
While this was happening and the
girl was at the very height OF her suffer

whose contents had produced this
terrible effect. To her horror she dis
covered that, by mistake, she had given
the girl q large dose of aqua ammonia
q sofficient quantity to have %snffocsted

The doctor was imme lately sent for
and when he arrived was told what had
been done. To his astonishment be
found the girl resting easy and looking
for better than she had for a week
Her lips and the lining OF her mouth
were burned by the ammonia, as hel
throat must haye been also. An exami-
nation into Miss Jordan's condition
showed that. although she was very
weak, yet her throat was comparatively
clear and there was every indication oil

On the cover, IN front OF her, the
doctor found the false membrane which
had been the cause of all the trouble
and which the girl had elected in tina,

not believe it had been torn from he,

It was a hard, elastic, rubber-Lke

and about half an inch In diameter

barely large enough for the insertion o

The false membrane itself is the enl
one of the kind known IN the history @
