HERE AND THERE.


Cyclones are still flying around seek
ing whom they may devour but they
don't seem to have located Kansas
yet.
Those old friends, the cholera scare
and the man who points with pride'
to the political platform, have COM
menced their summer camaigns.
lone answer made to census enum-
orator was: Il am 26 years old, born in
the United States, was born tramp,
started newsboy; have not enough
learned to be a senatoa, lawyer or
priest"
The following remarkable statement
has lately appeared in novel: ''at
that moment the worthy pastor ap-
peared on the threshold of the manse.
His hands were thrust into the pockets
of his large, loose coat, while he turned
over the leaves of the prayer book and
wiped his spectacles.
In 1880 Chicago was fourth in popula-
ton. By the eleventh census it will come
very close to second place with popu-
lation as large as New York had i'll
1880. In the last decade New Yor k s
population has increased 16 per cent
and Chicao's over 100 per cent. Thus
is the great west getting there"
a New York paper informs its
readers that is proper to say ~ feel
badly and that the expression Il feel
bad'' is considered inelegant. In the
west it is customary to surmount this
difficulty by saying Il feel tough" "
but the average Westerner knows his
grammar too we'll to say II feel tough
ly."
Willie and Charles HattOn, of Wich-
ita, brothers of IL and IA, were doing
a burglar act. Willie was the burglar
and carried a pistol, which he forgot was
loaded. When he found his brother in
bed ready to defend his valuables he
raised his gun and discharged it into
Charles side. The ball passed be-
tween two ribs and lodged in the boy s
back.
1t is truly saddening to learn, from
somewhere in the state of Pennsyl-
vania that British gold is being
used to prevent an increase of the duty
on tin plate. John Bull should at once
be made to understand that all out
rageous tax on every American house
hold is none of his business. We love
to De taxed; and we expect to get 10y
rich by taxing ouselves.
The state Prohibition convention
will be held at Topeka OH July 10th,
1890. Each county in the state is en-
titled to one delegate at large for every
one thousand of its population, and
every church, Sunday school, temper
ance society, or other organization in
sympathy with the purpose of the con-
vention is invited to elect their dele
gates. Special railroad rates and
other details will be announced here
after.
Binding twine which is used SO large
ly by farmers now at harvest time, and
which the Farmers Alliance have tried
SO hard, recently, to have taken off the
tariff list, is largely increased i'll duty
oh hoA fn, in hn Nix Kin1a
bill. There is great complaint that
the bill has been too hastily considered
by the committe, and that where in
creases have been made the advance
was too much; and that reductions in
other schedules have been excessive.
Incongruities also exist. For instance
fax pays $50 per ton; while its refuse,
tow, pays $25. The bill will not be
called up before July 1, but there is a
prompt expression that the committee
report is unscientifc too hastily drawn.
We do not believe in religion that
does not make Il man better. We do
not believe in prohibition that does
not prohibit, and we do not believe in
tariff reform that does not reform
the tariff. We have no use for a man
who makes loud pretensions of religion
and his every day walk proves him a
hypocrite. We have no use for man
who bawls for prohibion and sneaks
into drug store or a saloon the back
way to get = MP by a significant wink.
We have no use for such tariff reform
as the McKinlty bill proposes. 1t re-
forms only to the advantage of those
who furnished the campaign fat to
elect Harrison. AS we'll expect the
cat to make proper laws to govern a
mouse as to expect Republicans to re-
form the tariff, the offspring Of theiI
own official iniquity.-EI.
