MATHEW STANLEY QUAY is said to
have the presidential bee buzzing in
his bonnet Is it possible that he re-
CARDS "Ben the Conqueror" as fail
ure, and wants to succeed him in
order to restore prestige to the
party?
THE Ieavenworth Times has not
much sympathy for the Illinois miners
who are engaged sin playing game of

There is a point where the Times and
the employers agree to dot.
GRAHAM the crank went over Niagra
Fails in his barrel Sunday and was

proven possible, there is no telling how
many imitators of Graham VIII here
after attempt it. ig roag 80
| DIR. TALAIAGE must have had the
Murdoch rebellion in his minds eye
Sunday when he weighed us all in a
balance. and of course found most of
US wanting. Wanting something is the
essence of the rebellion afore men

FIVE hundred Sedgwick county far
mers held meeting near Wichita the
other day and resolved to hold their
wheat and corn off the market. If
that move does not bull the prices at
Chicago, the aforesaid farmers will
conclude that the country is going to
eternal smash.
THE investigation of the cattle and
dressed beef question at Chicago by
the senate committee appears farcical.
The cattle barons regard it as such,
aud pay no attention to the summons
to appear and testify. Better adjourn
and go home, and let the plundering go
on.
| II is a disappointment to know that
Secretary Wanamaker will not be able
to attend, as he. had promised to do,
the state convention of the Y. NJ. G. A.
to.be held soon at Salina. The secretary
has great many friends in Kansas,
especially among the postmasters, who
would rejoice in giving him cordial
reception.
A COMPROMISE has at last been
reached between the Illinois coal min
ers and the operators, excepting w. l..
, Scott. OF course the compromise as in
, all such casses involves a reduction in
/ wages. In this case it is u cents ton
: The wages will amount to triie over

THE Leavenworth Sun says that il
is threatened with law suit by Kan

The Suns loyalty to It's home advertis

\ they might have been in advertising.
THE New York Sun has the bold
