The attempts to fasten slavery ON

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

One of our citizens Who was trans
acting business with one Of the De-
partments at Washington desired to
oct the assistance of his member and
wrote TO his claim agent, who has
practiced before the Departments for
the last thirty years, to call on MI.
Funston. the representative from the
Second Kansas district. The agent re-
piled, Il don't know Mr.. Funston and
don't know any one who does. "--Lac-
renee Record.

Army day, wanted to know why Fun
ston was honored with the chairman

he is a misrepresentation A sickly-
looking man, with a staff in Eis hand
and q. A. r.. badge on the lapel Of
his coat said, Because he was pledg-
ed to vote for Cannon as speaker and

A Lawrence correspondent for a

opposing Funston will have to bolt if

Items from an sold Crank"

II looks now very much as though
Foghorn Funston would not get the vote
of the delegation Of his own county.
We can find none working for him but
the little fellows and the dads he has APP
pointed postmasters.
Every old soldier in this district saws
no more Funston in ours. They are
right
The people of Kansas say, we do not
want liquor sold in our state. SIX out
of the nine judges of the supreme court
-four Republicans and two Democrats
say you shall have liquor sold in your
state. ,Fhe question is, who should
have the right TO determine or decide
the question, the court or the people?
We have been for the past thirty years
a close observer of the workings of both
the United States senate and congress,
but never in all those years have we even
known of a speaker of the house taking
an active part in manipulating and set
ting the party wires, as does Speaker
Reed.
Speaker Reed is the very man that is
responsible for the silver bill not pass
ing. but he saved President Harrison the
trouble of veto, as he would have done
il under the advice and control OF the
gold bugs Of England and Wall street.
They are simply the tools of the money
kings. but.Mr. Harrison don't want the
second term for the simple reason that
Jack would not eat his supper.
The original package, under license,
or permit, from the supreme court OF
the United States, was opened out In full
blast in this city, on the evening of the

the hell-hole was opened, he, the hell
hole keeper, had taken in $6S-all cash
This money. or large per cent of It,,
was taken from men whose wives and
children we know need the money, and
not only them. uut their creditors whom
they have owed for years, should have
the very money they are spending, and
will spend in this murder mill or snake
hole. But what can the people OF Kan
sas do in this great cCuntry where
state has no right to do anything to
keep the boys from becoming drunkards
The law makers can keep up the hight
between the north and south, but when
the people of state want protection
from the whisky curse they are never
ready TO DO anything, and the same set
OF congressman and senators never Will.
"The Atchison Champion. the leading
Republican paper in the stare, is max
ing manly fight against ingalls,. 1t
challenges the senator's admirers to
point out when, in all his seventeen
years in congress, he has done anything
for Kansas, They all retire in silence
when that coaundrum is fired at them. F"
-Ex.
This is just what we have been trying
to have the big or g as it is now TO do
for us. We have watched ingalls, and
Funston closely ever since we have been
i'm Kansas, and we fail to know of one
single thing they have done or said in

BILE experience on their return voyage
The adventure, as told by one OF the
crew, is thus narrated in the Lower
Californian:
I'VE had been week out from
Santo Domingo, and were out about
twenty miles northeast from Cedros
Island, when early one morning
we saw commotion in the sea about
a mile off. 1t was a very quiet morn
ing, and we crept up very close We
saw strange sight. \ whale about
so feet long had been found or killed
by the monster that was feeding upon
it.
sAt intervals the serpent would ear
up out OF the sea SO that we could
coolly survey his entire form ms
body was round and about three times
as long us the whale, or 100 feet long.
It's head was rs near like turtle as
anything else, with the mouth set
we'll back under the jaw. We did not
see the eyes, so can not say II they
are the traditional flaming oyeballs or
not. On each side OF tho body were
five or six legs, each wcbbed and
horned like the wings OF u dragon.
While feeding on the whale i made
peculiar. horrible wheeling or hiss
4 ing sound but when it saw Us il stop
ped ana drew slowly away, looking
back over its shoulder at US. u circIed
away about hall Il mile. and we
could still see it kept an eye on Us.
I'VE made haste and sailed away
from that locality, for il inclined /
could have taken our little schooner a
a mouthul. As we came north W
saw the weird monster return 70 hi
prey. and before long the breez'
brought the horrible Wheeling souu,
