PROPHET AND STATESMAN.

From the Kansas Commoner.
What is all this talk about Sluss and
Murdoch having been lukewar in be-
half of the Republican party in the re-
cent canvass? The editor of this paper
was around doing his humble best for
the Peoples ticket in every part of the
county, and had it not been for Sluss
and the EAGLE the Republican party
would have disappeared, not alone in
Sedgwick county, but in southern Kan
sas. If they We're lukewarm we would
like to see them red-hot once. Honor
and credit to whom it is due, is our
motto. Whatever vote the Republican
ticket got worth mentioning would have
been beautifully less if Judges Sluss and
Muscular and the Wichita EAGLE had
not stood by the &. o. p. in desperately
bad cause while laboring under load of
personal and political drawbacks.

The Nebraska Situation.

From the Kearney Hub.
1t being now apparent that the ALI
ance has elected majority of members
in both branches of the legislature. and
that they will be able TO enact such leg
islation as they choose without the assist
ance of either Democrats or Republicans,
the World-Herald is again patting the
Alliance people on the back, and mildly
suggesting that the Democrats be given
a whack at the spoils to be distributed.
The Democratic lion, in other words
wants the Alliance lambs to lie down
with it. Wv coorse.

prohibition. What is the matter with

Oh. that's the reason, then. why you
are so anxious 10 have the law enforced
elsewhere. But it won't work, my dear

line between his hearthstone and that

Attorney-General Ives: There are

the law requiring all corporations to file

forest growth transformed into
stone through the unrevealed pro-
cess of nature, better known TO man as

From the Abilene Reflector.
The Kansans who are leaving home,
friends and the comforts Of civilization
to go to Topolobampo, the chimerical
socialistic colony on the western coast of
Mexico, will wish themselves back be-
fore spring. The most sOrTowful tales
of restitution come from the cOlonists

lives, Kansas might enter Senator In

senator is the biggest beat this state has

His AristocfatIc Entertainments,
Clerks With Noble Relatives pre-
ferred TO Merchant Princes.
The speech from the Throne 70 the
British Houses of Parliament,

OTTAWA, Ontario, February ll.-Lord
Stanley, Governor General, has raised a
storm of indignation among members OF
Parliament which threatens to make him
one Of the most unpopular Governor Generals
Canada has ever had. The charge is boldly
made by members Of Parliament that the
representatives of the country assembled at
the canital have been ignored socially by
Lord Stanley.
1t has been the eusto IN for many years for
the Queens representatives In Canada TO
give state ball at the Government House
during the session of the Federal Parliament.
This session there will be no state ball.
nominally because Lady Stanley is said to
be indlsposed. but in reality because bis Ex-
cellency and the vice regal household are
avcrsot TO having the vulgar crowd Of COM
mol people invade the privileged precincts
of the vice regal residence.
As compromise between his duty and his
highly aristocratic propensties, Lord Stanley
issued cards for dances TO take place AZ
Rideau Hall on Tuesday and Friday Of this
week. When this diversion from the usual
custom was announced 1t caused considerable
dissatisfaction. but when the Invitations
were all out the storm Of indignation knew
no bounds when it was found that scores of
members OF Parliament, Senators and the
elite OF society at the capital were to be =
eluded fro" Re social gayeties at the,Q
regial residence. Va

were hOnoreu,
wealthy citizrns,
utterly Ignored.
A prominent member OF the Comm.
from British Columbia, characterized the ac-
tion Of Lord Stanley as English aristocratie
snobbishness which called for some notice
by the Parliament Of the country. II was
outrageous, he said. that representatives Of
the people in the Pacific Provinces
should with one exception be ignored by the
Queens representative, while a young
Englishman, who at one time was private
secretary to Lieut.. Gov. Trutcb, and who
was discharged for fast HABITS, should re-
ceive invitations to Rideau Hall because his
father was a Chief Justic In Englande.
In addition to this trouble, Lord Stanley
has awakened much hostile criticism by the
practice in his household of enjoying on
Sunday various recreations, which, innocent
In themselves, are looked upon by the
Protestant population OF the Dominion as
unsuitable on the Lords day and In at least
one case, they have taken action cOndemning
the course Of the Governor General.
