Kansas City is no place for a young
man TO take his bride, unless he wants
to get rid of her without the formaIity
of a divorce. In the latter case, it
is the best town in the world to take
her to. She will be gobbled up and
kidnapped there as readily and as
surely as Circassian beauty at an
eastern slave market. A young FELLOW
from somewhere north brought his
young wife to Kansas City for their
honeymoon Monday. He left her seat

JOHN TRnIBLE, secretary of the ma
tional grange has grievance against
the administration. He claims that it
was through the efforts of the grange
that the department of agriculture
was made a cabinet Office, and that the
grange ought to have voice in NAM
ing the head of that department. Yet
when it came to naming the secretary
of agriculture, the president paid no
attention whatever to the recommen-
dations of the grange, and appointed
Uncle Jerry Rusk, politician and one
who was not and never had been a
farmer. Uncle Jerry a pol
itician and not a farmeri Well.
that is. an idea that will find
rapid growth in Kansas just now.
Until his return to Washington after
his late visit to this state, the people
were ready at a moments notice to
swear by Uncle Jerry as farmer.
Had they not heard of the mastery
manner in which he swung the scythe
in his own yard at Washington last
summer, and of his gallant horseman-
ship in mounting the wheel horse or a
wagon somewhere in Virginia? Though
Jrif1e ostentatious, were not these
isolated feats of his. proof sufficient OF
his knowledge and abilities as prac-
icaI farmerP To be sure they were,
and we all said SO and applauded them
as such. But alasI the grange declares
he never was farmer, does not repre-
sent farmers at all, and is at best only
a politician. Since he went back on
our sugar mills in this state after he
had praised and predicted wonderful
results from them, to our face, the
scales have fallen from our eyes, and
Uncle Jerry stands revealed in the
garb of the smooth fatterer, the oily
palaverer and the slick politician,
rather than as the friend of the farmer,

ANOMALIES STATESMAN.


Concerning the unfortunate condi-
tion of ex-senator Jones of Florida
the Atlanta Constitution speaks as
follows.
1.-THE sad case of ex- Senator Jones
of Florida is still a mystery. Since
Senator Jones has found himself una
bic to secure hotel accommodations in
Detroit, he has lodged with his friend,
Mr.. O'NeiI, postofice inspector. But a
few days ago he had to give up his
room and hunt other quarters. 1t is
not known where the senator eats or
sleeps, or how he gets along. When he
arrived in Detroit he was elegantly
dressed. Now he is in the last stage
of shabbiness. O'Neil says that he
turned him adrift because he WAS tired
of supporting him, but it is said that
O'Neii owes his appointment and re-
tention in Office to Jones' influence.
1t is a strange story. Jones takes
we'll, and his speech before the nation
al editorial convention in Detroit was
one of the brightest of the occasion.
The southern editors who were present
said that if the senator would re-
turn to Florida he could have anything
he wanted. But the homeless and
penniless statesman remains volun
tary exile from the state that honored
and loved him. He cannot be made to
believe that his old sweetheart, Miss
Palms, is married, aud still speaks
tenderly of her. 1t is pitiful to see
this brilliant and amiable man in such
a wretched plight. If he could be pur-
suaded to return to Florida, familiar
scenes and the care of devoted friends
might yet make him happy and
useful man.. AS it is. he is a stranded
wreck
