The trustee of Great Bend township,
who ever he may be, had better attend
to his business and duties little more
closely. On the road between Film
wood and Great Bend there are two
culverts torn up and have been for a
namber of weeks, making it exceed
ingly dangerous driving. We know of
several cases where people have had
narrow escapes from driving into the
bitches on evenings. If those bridges
are not repaired and put in proper
shape Immediately, complaints will be
made.

democrats particularly bring encourag-
ing reports Even those who resigned
the contract to other hands are only blue
at their own political fortunes. Judge
PaIrett, of Indiana, who only got into
the pEesent congress by the skin of his
teeth, matter of twenty votes or SO,
says the the democrats of his state are
more alive this year than when he was
first elected and will return him by an
increased majority. This is the same
district that sent the present governor,
General Hovey, to congress. More
important sill the Judge says the
democratic chieftains told him when he
was at home that this was to be the
fight of their life IN order to make Sem
ator voorhees, hold on his seat doubly
strong and sure. Boz.

Our ReSubmiiSsiion Winners.
A SQUARE FIGHT NOW ON.
The Democrats and Resubmission Republl
cans United for Success.

At the head of this column is the
ticket that is bound to WIN IN Kansas
this fall. 1t is composed of able men
in every particular. and headed by
Governor Charles Robinson, one of tie
grandest men who has ever graced
Kansas soil. Nominated by acclama-
ton, in one of the largest conventions
ever held in Kansas. he will be the
choice of the majority of the voters Of
the state in the 4llaee-sided fight that
is now on.
For lieutenant governor, Hon. d. A.
Banta, of this City, the unanimous
choice of the republican resubmission
convention composed of near 800 dele
gates from all parts of the state, needs

crits who are IN control of the state
government. They are not repro

Washington Letter.
Washington. DC Sent.

Washington, d. c., Sept Sth, 1890.
The chairman of the democratic con-
gressiOnal committee, Hon. Roswell z.
Flower, of New York, has returned to
the city after an absence of two weeks.
During this period the business of the
committee had accumulated somewhat
but is being rapidly cleared up. Mr..
Flower SAYS that democratic prospects
are of the brightest and that the party
will have control of the next house of
representatives. This is the reason
he says why the republicans baye been
so anxious to accomplish all their polit-
ical devilment in this congress.
This committee has now got down to
work and is sending out bushels of
documents. Chairman Flower says
that there is a greater demand for tariff
literature than ever before and he is of
the opinion that the people are opening
their eyes to the iniquity of the present
tariff system and the barefaced robbery
of the Mckinley bill. From this on the
fight will be warmer and it will not be
the fault of the committee if ignorance
of economic questions continues to dc
tate the political conduct of the people.
Only a short time ago the republic
cans in congress used to laugh at what
they termed the troubles of the demo-
Gratis when Randall opposed the party
policy on the tariff, but they are not
laughing SO much now whenth recall
citrant is in their own ranks but ON
the opposite side from Randall in this
tariff matter. Plumb, of Kansas, has
become almost as much of a thorn in
the republican side as Riddleberger
was in another way. The Kansas
senator subscribes and pays for quite
two hundred newspapers printed in his
state and believes that he has got down
to the gist of Kansas public opinion on
the tariff matters; hence neither the
scowls of the party associates nor the
threatenings of King Caucus have no
fears for him. When even the demo-
Gratis wearied ont with constant sena-
torial service and thankful to have
escaped enormities of the force bill
brought themselves to an agreement to
hasten the progress of the Mckinley
bill, the Kansas Plumb barred the way,
because as he says the measure should
be defeated. The democrats, however,
Senator German says, have no hopes of
this as test votes show that the stray
glers from the republican ranks are
few and only spasmodic in their action,
and besides he says party policy and
political prudence dictate that those ills
we have be suffered rather than fly to
others we know not of in the shape of
the force bill. The crushing of this
partisan legislation, the senators say,
is not only great boon to the liberty
loving people but is striking party |
victory, as it was won by tactical man |
euvers rather than by hard fighting, as |
would have been the case if at all, had |
the republican caucus resolutely |
rushed it for action.

Lo AND BEHOLD! there is sore
disappointment in the hearts of G. o. p.
For it came to pass that ON the ninth
day of the ninth month there came into
the land of Barton one Jeemes. a
''princely' and "iovial' parsonage SIR
named Hal. And he came with pomp
and with music, and although he
attempted to carry water on both
shoulders he cut quite a ''fgger,' -
and would fain entice the yeomanry
of the land to hearken unto him. But
behold, the sturdy farmers would not
hearken worth a cent; for they were
busy in their fields and liked not the
Establishments of the gorgeous
''prince," but rather preferred to
remain at toll until a later day when
they could gather togethey and listen
unto one jeremiah. a peasant of lowly
birth but honest withall, whose dwelling
place lieth to the south, even in the
land of Barber. Whereat, the prince
Jeems, with all his retinue, his local
satraps and his hangefs-on, were sore
dismayed and somewhat ratified; but by
vigorously whistling to keep their cour-
age UP, and by blowing of trumpets and
making of loud noise they did dis
perse. Verify, Uneasy lies the head
that (pretends It'll wears crown"
The prince is n. 6.

Man on Woman.

After man came woman.
And she has been after him ever
since.
She is person of free extraction
beng made of mans rib.
1 don't know why Adam wanted to
fool away his ribs in that way, but l
suppose he was not accountable for all
he did.
1t costs more to keep a woman than
three bird dogs and a shot gun.
She is handy to swear at whenever
you cut yourself with a razor, and don t
feel like blaming yourself.
Woman is the superior in Massa-
chusetts. There are about 10000 more
of her sex than males in that state.
This accounts for the terrified
hunted down expression of the single
men who come west.
Woman is not created perfect.
She has her faults, such as false hair
false complexion and so on
But she is great deal better than
her neighbor, and she knows it.
Eve was woman.
She must have been a model wife
too, for it cost Adam nothing to keep
her in clothes.
Still | don't think she was happy.
She couldn't go to sewing circles and
air her. information about everybody
CT, To <>f 4,
ladies by wearing her new bonnet tc
church.
Neither could she hang over the back
fence end talk with her near neighbour
All these blessed privileges were
denied her. Poor Eve! she is dead.

From the Leader.
Earnest Smith was taken sick on
Monday with a severe bilious attack,
and for time suffered terriblely with
gripping pains in the stomach and
bowels.
Miss Lena Lille received right
nice little wind-fall some days ago
in the shape of cash to the amount
of a 81 900, it having been left to her by
a relative.
The late rains have freshened up the
grass wonderfully, causing it to shoot
up again as though it were spring.
The fall pasturing will be much better
than it was through the summer.
Our schools opened Monday morning
with a fair attendance, some seventy
five in all. both upper and lower rooms
have been enrolled. There will be an
addition to this as the term advances
The Riverside alliance will have a
picnic shortly in the grove near Cotton
wood school house. They tell us it
will be a big one. and that an enjoy
able time will be guaranteed to every
one.
Mr.. Boo Dellinger sold his farm this
week to Mr.. E. Hustis for 81 900. Bob
bought the farm, SO acres, from Charlie
Welbaum about year ago; raised a
good crop off of it and sold it for an
advance of what he gave for it. Not
so bad for ''drouthy Kansas"
