Our neighbor of the south, Mexico
the dispatches say, is on the eve of 8
great revolution. Mexico's final revo.
luton will probably be annexation tc
George Washington's country.-Er.
The alliance may not be able to de.
feat the Republican state ticket this
fall, but there is not much doubt but
that, with Republican help, it will
elect an anti-Ingalls legislature.-Ena-
porea Republican,
! A big meteor came sailing through
space the other day and struck in
Northern Kansas. When the heavenly
bodies begin to leave their spheres in
order to get to settle down in Kansas
it looks as though the claims of that
state have not been to great.-Er.
If it could have been foreseen that
Tom Reed would have girded up his
lions with a silk sash he never would
have received vote from a Western
congressman. The spectacle of fat
man with numberless yards of black silk
around his abdomen is utterly repug-
nant to Western ideas of scenic effect.
We sold England last year S475, 000,-
600 worth of goods and bought from
her only $3.50, ,O0O,0 900 worth. There
is strong feeling in England now in
favor of putting duties on our goods
as retaliation for the Mckinley bill.
If that is done we should be manifest
ly the heavier loosers-and our farm
ers the heaviest losers of all.
a man who had wife and family
i'll tie east came to Kansas short
time ago and soon afterward married
two girls, the two ceremonies being
less than a week apart. Fellows from
the east soon catch on to the rapid
manner of doing things i'll the west,
but sometimes they do not employ the
proper amount of discretion in carry
ing out their plans.
The House did not accept a single
one of the Senat's amendments to the
silver bill. Perhaps it may also reject
all of the changes to the tariff bill pro-
posed by the senate. The House seems
to be proceeding upon the theory that
the Senate, though largely Republican,
must not interfere with the party policy
laid down in the House caucus and in
terpreted by Tom Reed.-KdnSdS City

Mrs. Martha Gray of Virginia has
been found by the census man. She
is now living with her third husband
and her record at rearing children is
thus scheduled: six triplets, IS; six
twins, u; seven singles, Z; total, 81
children. When the census taker
facetiously remarked, Italy one for
Mrs. Gray that good lady exclaim
ed, ''You tally thirty-seven, young
man, and don't you forget it, Mrs.
Gray suggested to the enumerator
that he call again in few days and
she would do still better for him.

Postmater General Wanamaker is
willing to honor Quay-an embazzeler
of $3.50, 900 from the state treasure of
Peansylvania-by naming postoffice
after him, but the town upon which
he has inflicted this reproach protests.
The town is Johnsonburg, Pa. Some
time ago Mr.. Wanamaker notified it to
call itself thereafter Quay, and the
name so entered in the POSTAL Guide" "
But the inhabitants of the town refuse
to have it known by name notorious
in connection with a great crime, and
insist ON the right to call it by its old
-Johnsonburg Mr.. Wana-
makers knowledge of Quay's character
and his own reputation of goodness
and piety should have insured the
town against such an affront. But
some very queer things are being done
nowadays by our most emminent pro-
fessors of stianity.-HerGid.
What is this we hear? Belgium
coming in and undertaking our pro-
tected iron barons in the market? The
iron work for the mamouth court
house at Minneapolis, contract that
will involve the expenditure of So ,000,-
600 900 has been secured by Belgian
iron manufacturers who underbid the
Americans 25 per cent. This ought
to open the eyes of the American peo-
pie to the fact that they have been
bled long enough by the tariff van
pires. Belgians look only for a fair
profit on their capital invested, and
they can vault over the tariff barriers
and come in with their products cheap
er than the sumo can be purchased
here. The profits of the American
manufacturer are not modest. The
Carnegies must not only receive fair
profit, but they must amass millions SO
that S3 900 may be paid for flowers at
their banauets. The Carnegies start
ed on nothing and are now million
airs. The government enriched them
and the people paid the bill.-Mena-
