, A NOTICEABLE feature at the repub-
Iran Congressional convention at
Dodge City was that all the candidates
| that we're sprung on the convention
were, had been or would be farmers:

The town making the largest grow:-
in Missouri during the last decade :.
Excelsior Springs. Its population has
increased from nothing to over 1900,
and all of is was due to water. That
ought to make the prohibitionists very
happy.

IF it be desirable to have free trade
or as Mr. Blaine terms it.. recipro-
city-between the Republics of South
America and the United States. then
why not the same relations between
this country and the countries of the
old worldp AcKinley's doctrine is ex-
tremely erroneous.

AN exchange says that a subscriber
wants t0 know if it can explain why
it is that women are rarely bald head
ed. This question has been referred
to a man whose head is as bald as a
mere statement of facts, and his ans
wer Is: lit is because they do not
marry women.-Las Vegas Optse.

AN editDr's eye is a great part OF
his stock in trade. The city editor of
the Philadelphia Bulletin had an eye
injured in a street railroad tumble.
The jury awarded him damages against
the road for $4,000, from which it ap-
pears that the average man does not
properly eitimate the "light Of the
body."-Et.

The Advertisements are an import
ant feature of every paper. The
women, who are fnanciers of every
household, recognize this so thorough
ly that they never think in these days
of making any purchases without lock-
ing at the newspapers to see where
they can buy the most cheaply:-Pu-
eblo Standard.

It is a notorious fact that number
of Republican senators are disguised
with the Lodge bill, and would say so,
but for the trouble such frankness
brings. No sooner does a senator say
that he deprecates such legislation than
he is bounded by lot of partisans in
to denying, or modifying, his published
expression.
THESE Republican bosses are queer
set ANYWAY. There is Mckinley, |
Blaine, Quay and Harrison, the mo- |
fO hGa
nation and each of them have differ |
ent idea of how it should be run; yet
all the Republican conventions enlOgize |
them all and say they are doing just
the right thing. Anything will pass
in that camp.

REPUBLICAN protection papers
never imagine how near they are to
free trade when they are rushing to
defend Secretary Blaine's reciprocity
views. There may be something in IA
name. Reciprocity and free trade are
interchangeable terms, but the Rep
ublican take kindly to reciprocity While
they look with horror upon free trade.

ONE of the best educational insti
tutions within our borders is the State
Normal at Emporia. Tuition is free
to teachers, and they will find here
unequalIed opportunities to prepare
themselves more fully for their work.
Young men and women who intend to
teach can find no better facilities for
acquiring such an education. The
fall term will open September /. For
catalogue and any information, ad-
dress. A. r. Taylor, president; En-
poria.
SECRETARY NOBLE affirmed the de-
cision of the commissioner, dismissing
the contest case of S. W. VandIveft VS..
Silas &. Wright and others, involving
the tract of land known as the Fairview
addition to this city. Wright filed on
the tract at the Larned land-ofice IN
1884, made proof and received a cash
certificate in 1887. Vandivert filed
an affidavit of contest, alleging that
Wright had previously fled for a tract
at Pueblo, Colorado. On the first
hearing the register of the land-ofice
concluded that the contest should be
dismissed and such was the final re-
suit,
TIE Consolidated Kansas City
Smelling and Refining company is
about TO establish five new smeiters at
different points in Mexico. The tariff
proposed by Congress upon Mexican
ores will prevent the expansion of this
in the United States. The
government has made recent
IL 1
of its mineral resources
by attracting foreign capital, and it
will Hereafter monopoiize the benefits
which this country might have shared
under more liberal commercial policy.
The more closely the people of the
United States study the doctrine of
protection the more they will find out.
