No DOUBT about 1t at all. 1t is as
green as a gourd, and pretty near as
full of emptyness.
THE Mckinley bill spreads q wet
blanket over all the country from the
Mississippi river to the Pacific ocean
and freezes it stiff-we mean both the
blanket and the cOuntry.-Wichita

So HIS royal highness, the "prince"
did not commit himself on the prohi-
bition question at Galatia? He had to
do it down at Wichita, though; for the
boys down there won't stand any
monkey business.
"HUMPHREY and the old crowd" is
the way the brave resubmission repub-
licans dubbed the makers of the repub-

WATCH for some fun in congress
when Boss Reed attempts to tell Jerry
Simpson, Of Kansas, how he must vote.
Jerry will read the "boss'' a lesson
that will make him think a Kansas
cyclone has been stirred up and set to
whirling.
THE DEMOCRAT again arises to

goes to work with will.
CARAVAN practically acknowledged, :,
last week, that we properly showed
him up in our article of the week
before. He is 50 puffed up with the
idea that he carries the brains of his
entire party under his hat that he took
the whole thing in as an endorsement
of his wonderful (P) republicanism.
Oh, yes, he has 'sYall."
ACCORDING to the various reports

is quite chameleon. In the west
part of the district he is the rankest

resubmissionist, in some places q
greenbacker and in others a free
trader-Arkansas City Democrat.
