Truly a Great Paper.

From the Standard, saltwater, Ok.
The Wichita Daily EAGLE is received
in Saltwater every evening, only twelve
hours after leaving the press. Its q
treat to sit down after supper and read
what transpired in the great world the
day previous, and to learn how the re-
belIion is progressing in our native state.

The Louisville Courier Journal desires
Uncle Jerry Rusk to tell the public
whether watermelons grown between
sorghum rows will be more saccharine
than if grown by themselves. 1t would
have been more pertinent for the great
bourbon daily to put the question little
different and asked whether corn Juice
can be extracted BY the diffusive pro-
cess, and if its quality for sour MASKING
would be enhanced or damaged thereby.
Our Uncle Jerry evidently knows as
much shout that as he does about water
melons and sorghum and is as capable of
instructing kentuckians in the science
of their chief industry as he is Kansans
concerning sorghum and sugar making.

Now that the legless corporal, the ex-
commissioner of pensions, has been thor
oughly and completely downed by the

permanently supplied, and the whole
case stated before the public, it would

rest on that subject while the young
Englishman relates the true inwardness
of the Cronin murder case. Ell?

Red Headed Girls Are Dangerous.

Philadelphia Record.
A young lady with a peachy complex
ion and a wealth of auburn hair went
into Gaylord's barber shop at Wilkes
barre yesterday and let her tresses flow
to have them curled. The barber wove
the mass of hair around the hot iron and
staggered back as if he had been shot
The lady's hair was full of electricity,
and the muscles of his arm were sore
for an hour.

SUNDAYS ELECrIONs IN IRANCb'
The result of the elections in France
last Sunday reveal the fact that the op
pos,tion element in that country Is by
no means so small or despicable as has
been asserted by the friends OF the Gov
eminent. The Republicans have so tar
won only by a greatly re-
duced majority. the returns show
ING the election Of 1856 Con-
servatives and Boulangists against
2lo Republicans with 17O supplement
tary ballots to be taken. The French
law figures second election Two
weeks after the first i'm ACCOMPLISHMENTS
where no candidate receives majority
if the whole number of votes cast. II
j. further required of a candidate that
10 be elected. he shall have received at
least one-fourth of the whole number
of possible votes.
The assured Republican majority then
of only GS in total membership OF
the Chamber Of SO, is conclusive
evidence that there is very strong
opposition in France to the present
form of Government. and the re-
elections TO take place on Sunday
week next will be watched with
much interest. II Boulanger and his
friends. the Revisionists, should sue
coed in carrying majority Of the
seats in the one hundred ard seventy
complementary ballots yet TO be taken
they will reduce the government ma
iority TO such a small margin as TO
make it practically valueless.
There is also a another danger 10
which the Government Is exposed. /
is well known that in France. as IN ihls
country. there are large number Of
doubtful voters. men who are alwal S
on the lookout for the way the cat Is
going to Jump, SO that they may boon the
winning side. The present majority OF
the Government, though small, may m
duce these trimming vOters-who, II
they lived ia the United States, would
bee classified as Independent to de.
eide TO cast their ballots with the
present ruling party. Still the strength
of the Opposition being so great they
may. on the other hand, conclude tina.
Roulanger is, after all, the coming
man. and flock over to his stand
ard. The outcome Of the second
election. therefore, cannot be fore
told with any certainty; neither
can the government be considered as
safe. or Boulanger removed as an ele-
ment Of disturbance from the French
political world, until the returns of the
coming elections are all in. and, after
being counted, are found to be decisive
ly Republican.
