it would have been to coWhide her hu6-
band or the other woman. that is the
modern style.
GOVERNOR HILL of New York was
guilty, as many thought, of a mean,
partisan trick when he vetoed the bal
lot reform bill recently passed by the
state legislature. The governor of
Connecticut vetoed a bill precisely
similar few days ago ana we don't
hear whimper about it from those
who kicked about the New York veto. |
Very strange.
A KANSAS exchange says that ''Al- |
exander Sullivan. who was arrested in |
Chicago yesterday for completely in the |
Cronin murder, was once tried in De- |
troit for burning his store to obtain the
insurance. He bulldozed the main |
witness, boy, and the woman who is
now is wife, Margaret Sullivan, swore
to an alibi, and he was acquitted"
WASHINGTON correspondents are
once more alluding to western sena-
tori whom they charge with fOiling
every attempt Of the government at
AHing the vacant place on the Chero-
kee commission. Why don't they give
his name? They evidently know who
ne is. Have not these Washington
writer's as much sand as the Chase
county jays?
Rev. BERNARD KELLY has been
made doctor of divinity. That is very
pleasant to be sure, and doubtless a
we'll deserved compliment. Now if
the state, that is, the president, will do
for him as well as the church, and add
to his title of ID. u. that of pension
agent, the doctor will feel all the earth
ly happiness consistent with truly re-
igious disposition and feeling. We
congratulate him on his new honor. i
ANOTHER big strike is threatened in
Carnegie's iron mill. That gentleman
is himself in the striking business just
now. He is making what the boys
call ten strike' in dining Mr..
Gladstone. The beauty of it is, too,
that one strike is playing into the
hands of the other; the consequent re-
| duction of wages furnishing the ma
bob with increased sinews for display
NC his hospitality to the be st advan-
tage.
THEY are displaying considerable in
genuity in the Office of the EmpOria Re-
publican in explaining Harrison Kelly's
| speech. In another week they will
have it all explained away. By that
time we expect to be told by that vera
cious organ that Mr.. Kelly made no
speech at all on decoration day, at Fort
Smith nor elsewhere. and that the
whole thing is a democratic humbug
gotten up as bowling hullabaloo in
order to divert attention from the po-
litical crimes perpetrated by the rebels
in Arkansas.
THEY undoubtedly have use for Mr.
Eagan at Chicago as a witness in Clan
na-Gael matters with which he is
known to be quite conversant. But as
there is no law for bringing him back
to this country from Chilli, they will
probably have to get along without
him. Perhaps, after all, it is we'll that
the country is rid of him. These pro-
fessional patriots are rather demon
aliZing set, and the administration
would earn thanks if it would send a
few more of them as far away as Pata-
gonia or Samoa.
COLONEL" BoLAND of Kansas City,
now under police surveillance for COM
| plicity in the Cronin murder, says that
''Of course it annOys me a little to have
my name mixed up in such business,
but these things are all likely to come
in a lifetime and the best one can do is
to take them philOsOphically." If the
Colonel" had acted 'philOsophically'
he would never have associated himself
with murderous band of dynamiters
and bOmbardiers and would have kept
clear of ''quadrilaterals, ;" ''triangles, -
etc. He, too, is a professional patriot
and a right bower of Alexander Sulli-
van.
THE gratitude of politician is illus
trated in the Sabin divorce case. y
virtuOus but inexperienced wife is
taken to the capital of the nation,
where she is thrown into the swim TO
do the society act for an ambitious
/
the drink habit. The scandal is sup
pressed, and the poor woman not
withdrawn from the temptation
until after the next senatorial
election in Minnesota. Sabin is de-
feated. Then the wife is placed in an
inebriate asylum. She is incurable,
and the man whose fortunes she sought
| 70 70 hnr off
must must be handsomer woman in the
back -ground.-Atchison Globe.
Ex-GoYERNoR CHARLES w. ROBIN
SON in an address to the farmers OF
Douglass county few days ago quoted
the report of the state agricultural de-
partment of Illinois to the effect that
every crop of corn produced in that
state since 1881, was raised at a loss
! He quoted from the report of our OWL
board of agriculture the fact that the
D value of farms in Kansas was greater
4 in 1887 than in the following year by
: SIS, 312 $40. If these facts be true Of
\ the agricultural interests of these two
8 states, does it not argue that something
+ is wrong somewhere, and that while
r millions are being piled up by railroad
and manufacturing magnates, the
farmer is being crowded to the wall?
