its ears off.
The great work Of the Kansas decorator
was done at Philadelphia in the year Of
grace 1876. He was the designer and fin
isher of the Kansas exhibit at the great
centennial show. The small appropria-
ton obtained from a cranky legislature
was most wisely expended and the re-
suits were wonderful. The promi-

credit and got 1t in the newspapers, but

Hes Our Beau.

From the Morton County Monitor
Hon. j. r. Hallowell, whose name ap-
pears at the head of this column as the
Republican nominee for congress from
this district, has few if any equals in
Kansas. in point of intelligence. He is
an able lawyer and a grand orator, and
in eastern Kansas it is only necessary to
announce that jim Hallowell is going to
speak, in order to gather the people for
miles around.
Aside from being a famous lawyer and
a brilliant orator, he is a whole souled
clever gentleman, and appreciates a
mans friendship, no matter what station
he occupies, and shakes the hand of the
laborer as warmly as that of the banker
or merchant. He possesses a genial
nature. and commands the respect and
confidence of his fellow men; and SAYS
he expects to get so well acquainted
with the people of this district, before
the election, that every man, woman and
child, viii call him Jim"

Branching Out.

From the Wellington Press.
We print elsewhere so much of the
platform adopted by the Republicans at
the Dodge City congressional convention
as we have found in print Wehope the
entire document will appear, as we de-
sire to place it before our readers in full.
1t is proof that the grand old party is
pulling itself together to continue in ser
vice as the friend and defender Of the
people. The most radical statement is
the absO wing of the nominee of the con-
ventiOn from caucus rule on economical
and financial questions. This is Just the
right position for the times 1t is a broad
and comprehensive enumeration, which
will be greeted by the progressive Repub-
licans everywhere as Just what they
want. The belief was general that the
coming state convention can do no better
than to adopt it as a code of principles
During its reading by Judge Sluss of
Wichita, who was chairman of the COM
mittee, and we suppose its author, its
principles were eered to the echo.
With such a platform and such man as
Colonel Halloweil as standard bearer ii
Is not difficult to guess who will be the
next congressman from this district

The senate. at least the Democratic side
of 1t. is rapidly degenerating in dignity.
For some time past the country has wit
messed the undignified action of Demo
cratic senators in making long-winde |
speeches for the purpose of preventing ac-
ton on BILL and on Monday he president
of the senate was compelled to reprove
Democratic senators for undignified criti-
cism of the lower house-LeavenwOrt
Times.
That all sounds very well from a strict
ly partisan standpoint: but isn't it fact
that as severe criticism of the derelictions
of the house has been offered in the
senate was pronounced by Republican
senators? If our memory is not at fault
our own Senator Plumb rasped the house
for its vascillating course during the
present session on matters Of economic
legislation as severely as any one. And
to our notion these structures were well
laid. Senatorial dignity is a fine thing
to point to with pride, but when the pub
lie welfare calls for a rebuke from that
body of any part of the public service,
we say lay it aside for the moment and
use the rod.
