We take the liberty of questioning the
good judgment of persons who are SO
anxious to array themselvs as mentors
of public morals, and we believe that
the circulating Of such petition will

entertainment. The manager of the

ascertain the moral standing of the
company in question, and las time

The Great Rain and Snow Storm.

In years to come the coolest inhabi

storm of the latter part of March,
1891, as the greatest fall Of moisture in
the same length Of time ever before
known Of in this part of Kansas.
On Monday the 23d, about twelve
o'clock, fine drilling rain began fall
ing, increasing in volume as the even.
ing approached. This rain continued
steady downpour from Monday noon
until about five o'clock p, m. Tuesday,
the 24th, when it turned into snow
storm which has ragged continuously
until the hour Of our going to press,
five p. m. Wednesday; thus there has
been continuous fall of moisture for
two days and half and two nights.
The snow is drifting somewhat, and is
sure to interfere with travel on the
railroads. But at this time Of year
| it is not liable to remain on the ground
long.
Without doubt the equinoctial storm
of 1891 will long be remembered.

The recent articles from Senator In
gals have dumb founded republican
leaders and they wonder what he
means.-Evening News.
THERE CAN be no reason why his
meaning should be kept secret, even
from the ''blind followers of the blind"
who have so long tagged after the Kan
sas windbag and professional "rebel
skinner" He simply means that he
still believes the people. the common
masses, are willing and anxious to be
humbugged some more, and now that
he has lost his grip through the old
methods. thinks to soft soap the fellows
of the new party and ''stand in" with
them, for his own personal ends only
The most despicable part of ingalls, is
his treacherous insincerity; next to
that his high estimation Of his own
greatness is we'll known and despised.
When a man who has had fat job in
the United States senate for eighteen
years and who, all that time never
once lifts his voice in the interests OF
the tOiling masses but is always found
on the side of the monopOlistic classes
when such a man all at once and sud.
denly changes tactics and pursues q
course dramatically opposed to his
former works and professions, it is no,
hard to understand his object. You
mossback republicans are just about
ready to acknowledge the corn" just
about ready to agree with what the
democrats have been teaching the PEG
pie all along, viz: That Ingalls, is
nothing but demagogue of the most
dangerous class.
