a Singular freak.

Yesterday afternoon respectfully dressed
man was seen to suddenly step up to lady
on Congress street near Loyeitt's fish store,
while the sidewalks were crowded with peo-
pie shopping and deliberately slap her face.
The lady, terribly frightened, ran into jew
slry store for protection, and inc. man tried
to follow her lbpt the employees put him out.
Then this singular individual passed along
aud the next lady he met he assaulted in the
same way. She too ran and escaped. On he
went and met third lady, on whom he this
time inflicted severe blow. Then the po-
lice came on the scene and pulled him in. 1t
is enough TO know that he was crazy drunk.

SINCE the days of Jim Lane, Ike
Kallock and John Speer, the newspa-
pers of Kansas have not had sucn a
hair-pulling as there is going on among
them just now over the resubmission
question. And among all the editors
of the state there are probably not half
dozen who are not good temperance
men. As they disagree as to the best
methods ofpromoting the cause, how
ever, there is plenty of room for argu-
ment and fun and the boys are getting
all out of the question that there is in
it. If the people of Kansas are not
we'll informed as to the temperance
question before the controversy ends it

THE victims of the ballot box for
gerry in Ohio are trying to procure a
congressional investigation of the mat
ter, believing that it can Ee traced to
Governor Foraker. The latter admits
making Wood smoke-inspector at Gin
cinnati as a consideration for produc-
ing the famous contract. but of course
claims he supposed the contract was
genuine. There would be no reason to
doubt the governors statements as to
his belief, if when he had the contract
published in Ralstead's paper, the
names of the prominent Republican
signeTs, Sherman, Mckinley and But
terworth, were not suppressed, and the
names only of the Democrats pub
lished. This is the ugly and as yet
unexplained feature of the famous fac.
smile publication, made with such 4
flourish of pretended honest indigna-
ton.

THE American sugar company Of
Kansas appears to have worked the
farmers of one or two counties in Yves
tern Kansas in good shape. There was
no trouble whatever it seems, The
farmers bit as greedily as hungry fish
take the treacherous bait. They
jumped at the chance to vote bonds to
the tune of 500. 600 on themselves, so
glad were they to have a sugar fac
tory in their midst. The slick COM
pany negotiated the bonds, got the
money-and are now asking the far
mers what are you going to do about
it?" To bamboozle the people, and Sc
cure the bonds the company mixed a
lot of pure sugar with sorghum sugar
and exhibited the compound as a spec
linen of their output. Rusticus was
charmed and scampered away to the
polls to vote subsidy to the plumber
ers. The old, old story, which is ever
new.

THE National Farmers Alliance in
session at st. Louis last week declared
among other things in favor of ''remov-
ing the tarif from the necessaries of
life, and placing it upon luxuries. -
Not one word, however, about extend
ing the benefits of protection to them
selves. Evidently they don't want it.
or feel that it can be Of no use to them.
All that they ask is that others now
favored by it, and getting almost the
sole benefit of it, be placed upon an
equal footing with themselves. In
view of the above recited action of the
Farmers National Alliance, we feel
some anxiety as to the position which
the Sixth avenue organ of the Farmers
Alliance of Lyon county will take in
this matter.

THE Fort Scott Monitor endorses the
platform of principles adopted by the
National Farmers Alliance at ST

written the plank and called it ian adj
1ustment of the. tariff to the interests
OF the produeeTssp New, that is not
at all the spirit OF the plspkas adopted
at st. Louis. 1t reads as follows:
Resolved, That we favor such revis-
ion and reduction of the tariff that the
taxes may rest as lightly as possible
upon productive labor, and that its
burdens may be imposed on the Iuxn-
RES and removed from the necessaries
OF life, and in manner which will
prevent continued accommodations of the
United States treasury surplus.
There is nothing in that about IAN
adjustment of the tariff to the interests
of the producers" 1t calls for a re-
moval of the tariff from the necessa-
ries," and that tits burdens may be

A GLoBE-DEaEocRAr Washington
correspondent interviewed the entire
Kansas delegation in congress on re-
submission. All Of them were OUT
spoken against it save Senator Ingalls,
who still chooses to straddle. he re-
fused to talk when approached on the
subject, and quite reluctantly consent
ed to pen the following meaningless
words that really signify nothing. He
wrote:
"The republicans of Kansas have
not been in the habit OF submitting to
the dictation Of their political enemies.
and they will not do so now. They
are strong enough, courageous and in
telligent enough to deal with all Ques-
tions that arise without going into
partnership with the democracy. They
are hospltable to new ideas. and have
always tolerated Individual judgment.
If there are complaints they will be
heard. If there are differences Of opin-
ion they will be adjusted. The demo
Gratis hope to profit by our dissens;ons
and capture the legislature next year.
They will be disappointed. There is
no panic, and there viii be no STAN
