Congress, and it will be strange if the
course of justice and fairness in that |
connection does not materially increase
the present slender majority of Repub-
hcan representatives.-Ex
THE Iowa republicans state cOnven-
ton nominated Captain j. G. Hutchin-
son for governor. A resolution favor
ing the tariff where it "dOes not foster
trusts combines and the like was
adopted. That is the broadcast plank
in the platform rightly, construed.
CLAUSE SPRECKELs who did some ex-
travagent boasting of his intentions to
do" the sugar trust when his Phila-
delphIa factories should be IN opera
ton, has joined the gang, according to
report from the east, and is now as
firm trust advocate as any of them.
TANNER, who loves to talk, is talk
ing about his candidacy for command
er-in-chief of the G.. A. r. His power
ty, he thinks, will cOnstrain him to
withhold his name, as he cannot afford
to take the Office. There is no doubt
but he would make dashing com
mander if the destinies favored him to
shat extent.
1t is no use to talk about DIR. Ham
mond's idea of observing the laws of
health and living forever. Those ex-
tremely wise and very prudent fellows
who miss all the good things of life, in
looking after their health, are usually
cut off by breaking their precious
necks, or being kicked to death by
mules.
CORPORAL TANNER has broken a
stretch of painful silence by talking
freely about the Henderson rerating
business. We give him the freedom
of our columns elsewhere. He is quite
severe on those who don't like his way
of dealing with the surplus, and init
mates that they are cowardly and
scurvy lot. The corporal talks well in
his own behalf.
IT is sad to learn in the midst of the
abundance which prevails throughout
almost the entire extent of Kansas, that
in the extreme western portion, there
is an absolute failure of the corn crop,
and that the season has been dryer
than ever before known since its set
Element. Many are leaving and are

THERE seems to be sort of tacit
understanding or secret alliance be-
tween the Topeka Capital and the
Democrat of that town to pull togeth
er. Both joined forces a few months
ago to re-elect Metsker to the maVor
atty. They were defeated by the dem
Ocratic COfran. They are now alice
l in the fight against Ingalls,, and are o
course working up a Waterloo TO
{ themselves.

Mrs. Maybrick's guilt as husband

court she admitted putting 1.-THE whit

sufficient when taken in connectio
with all the other testimony, to pre-
