Capt. J. B. Johnson, who addresses
the Republican Club next Tuesday
evening, has been much talked of az
q candidate for Governor. He has not
authorized the use of his name in that
connection and it Is not likely to be

We fear that Mr.. ManTey has read
the REGISTERS remarks upon the
history of the tariff and the lesson of
it, but carelessly, if he draws the con-
clusion from them that the tariff has
nothing to do with National prosper
ity. The facts that prosperity has
accompanied tariff period,
and failure and depression as regularly

1t is gentle spring, we know, and the
flowers are filling the air with their
fragrance and the birds and barrel
organs are singing praises, aud all

become carpetless, curtainless, damp
and comfortless den Of desOlation.

spring poetry, even at the risk of their |
lives. Particularly if one lives in Kan.

fragrant, rosetinted mornings, and it is
no wonder that some sensitive souls |
are unable to resist the temptation to
drop off, into poetry. Notice:
