DOUBTLESS many of our readers,
who read also the Kansas City star.
have often wondered what sort of
specimen of humanity concocts the
daily grist of silly stuff which appears
in that paper, under the head of Kan
.sas notes. We have had the honor of
seeing the individual, so can describe
him. Casual observation shows him
to be a beardIess dude of about TWEEN
ty-tWo, whom half-day-s work in the
harvest field would reduce 10 the con-
dition of pulp. This is the individual
who daily racks his brain in the effort
TO insult The farmers of Kansas. There
is not a day that column does not
contain at least one senseless item
intended as "a sIr upon the supporters
OF the peoples party. While the Star

YALEDICT0RY.

Our many readers viii be surprised
ut the announcements of another change
in the managem ent. of THE GRAPHIC.
The paper, since its birth in 1877, has
maintained itself with dignity through
out a varied experience of usefulness,
under a rbythmieai management. It's
complexion, politically, has suffered ~
its maiden beauty, and witnesses the
recording Of three faiths in its history.
It has ever been the high aim of the
retiring management since the advent
to the helm, two azd half years ago,
to supply the people, at all times, with
a superior local sheet. The liberal
patronage given assures us that the
time has not been wasted, our success
being highly satisfactory.
The new management takes hold at
once, and for them we wish success
and the continued tavors of a large
constituency. We bid adieu, tenn
porarily, to the newspaper business,
and our friends, trusting that a con
tinuation of favorable conditions will
be bequeathed to all. Our future
movement concerns no one, but we
announce with pleasure that we expect
TO reside in this favored section of
space a portion OF the time.
Respectfully,

Whether or not it would be expedi-

such services. depends entirely upon
the question whether or not they can
be more cheaply and satisfactorily

The sphere of governmental action
is gradually enlarging, not only in
municipal affairs but in those Of the
general government, both III this and
other progressive countries. In every
instance in which such action has
superseded private control, the ser
vices have been more economically and
satisfactorily performed. twenty-five
years go nearly every service of public
character in cities was performed by
corporations having franchises from
the local government, and the prope-
sition that city government should
assume such functions would have been
i.o,+a,l .,+ .,s 7.azroll7tiOr,a7-v i'm the cE-

him in communication to the Topeka

her latest novel in the August number
of the Cosmopoljtua. After nearly two
years of silence, the new story of Mrs.
Chanler viii be received with the
greatest interest by those who enjoyed
her earlier work. Married, travelled
and in every way matured, her latest
production is said to be worthy of the
talent which gave such great promise.
The scene is laid in Paris, where the
author has been living for two years.
The heroine is a Virginia girl who is
studying music abroad with negro
servant for a cbaperon. The story is
illustrated by Kate Gueatorex, one Of
the most promising of American paint
ers in Paris, and charming portrait
of Mrs. ChanIer is the frontispiece of
the magazine.

When the Northern Pacific people
took their Short Line trains out of ser
vice, it was given out to the public, on
whose authority we do not know, that
the reason they done so was that theil
lease had expired for the use of the
track, and it could not be renewed
hence they were compelled to discon
Time the service.
Several of the Omaha officials were
in the city last Sunday and a reporter
of the Leader inquired into this mat
ter, and in reply to his inquiry, Mr.
Winter, General manager of the com
pany said:
I'm the matter of the short line

the Omaha and the Northern Pacific

expired. The only reason, SO fan

Hayward for quarters for $50 people

a Respectable Drunk.

An eX-saloon keeper got drunk at
the West End the other day and had
to be taken to the lookup on a common
dray, and the daily papers seize upon
the fact to cry aloud for patrol wag-

enough for the ordinary low Swede or
freshman, but when a we'll TODD and
respected ex-seller of grog gets on a
high toned spree and falls through the
windows as he reels along the Streets
then il is that closed carriage is in
demand, and when possible the culprit
should be escorted to the bastile only
by the chief of police and his body
guard, and thus the affair made highly
respectable all around. There is an
be well to call attention to. The paper
tells US that this Well TODD and re-

Some Bratncs Needed,

Some two or three weeks ago our
delectable city attorney informed the
city council that it was great waste
of public funds to keep Mr.. j. G. New
kerk as an assistant or Park commits
ioner Attorney, and that now he, the
regular city attorney, being relieved
from the duties as member of the
Board of Public Works had plenty of
time to attend to all the duties of his
office On the strength of this asser-
ton the council very properly dismiss
ed Mr.. Newkirk. but hardly had this
official been got rid Of, than we find
the city attorney, one Woolpert, we
believe, knocking at the chamber
door" and asking the council to give
him an assistant, personally stating to
the council that 1.-The clerical work in
cumbent upon him in drawing papers
was very large, and he could not poss-
IDLY do it, and also attend to other
and more eXacting duties of the
Office
Now this looks very strange to say
the least coming as 1t does from the
man who but few days before had
told the same council that he could
easily do all the work and that an as
sistant was unnecessary. There is but
one conclusion to draw. The city at
torncy either spoke falsely in the first
instance in order to get rid Of an in
telligent assistant of whom he was
jealous, or else he spoke falsely in the
second place in order to make place
for some friend of his own.
We think he speaks correctly, how
ever, when he said he''could not posi-
ably do the business, but the reason
for this lies more in the lack of brains
than it does in the lack of time.
There must be some ability connect
ed with the office, hence an assistant
city attorney is necessity.

The new street improvement and

The bonds will be engraved on heavy

Engravings in each corner will show

Judge Marshall commenced the
adjourded term of the circuit court
last Tuesday The cases tried thus far
have not been of particular interest to
the public. The case of Alderman
Baxter for enlightenment has been dis
missed. The next case which seemed
to attract most attention was that of
John Richardson for killing Charles B.
Allen some months ago. Both men
were gamblers, and both lived with
prostitutes, and after night out they
got into fight at their home, and
Allen died in few days from the in
iuries he received from Richardson.
The case was called at the opening of
the court, but Allan's woman" was
no. on hand to give evidence and as
she is the chief witness for the prose
cution, the case was put over until the
3Oth. Some of the daily papers are
trying to work upa great big sympa-
thy boom for the brute who deliberate
IL pounded and kicked his partner and
companion to death, and the Leader
tells us how the tender hearted man
wept and com planned that Allen, a
much smaller man than himself had
begun the fight If he has wept any
since the affair, the tears shed are the
tears Of the coward who fears punish
ment for his wickedness.

Capt. Lynch of the Chemical out
fit at the fire hal, now knows how it
feels to wear the bracelets One of
the policeman left pair at the fire
hall the other day, land the Captain
thought he could put them on and
then slip his hand through and thus
lberate himself. He put them on
easily enough, but to do his best he
could not llberate himself, and he had
TO wear the bracelets for two mortal
hours before any officer showed up
who could unlock them. 1t will be
some time before the boys smoke any
more cigars at the Captain expense.

Now our officials tell us that the
great County of Douglas is unable to
redeem her paper. 1t is not 70 or 90
cents on the dollar, shA is offering for
her sustaining orders, but the holder
cannot get anything. OF course this
state of affairs will not be permanent
but it will last until such time as the
county board can find a way out of the
difficulty, and III the meantime the
banks and scalpers will reap a rich
reward by discountlng county orders.
We are not saying who is to blame for
this state of affairs, but blame rests
somewhere along the Official line.

-Squatters, 1t seems, have taken
possession of that piece of land known
as the 'SweetZer Tract" extending
from the bay back and on the west side
of Winter street The impression
seems 10 have got abroad that the con
test over this piece of land lies between
the Land River Improvement Co, and
the government, and that the land will
surely go back TO the government, and
be then thrown open to settlement,
hence the squatting."
\ large number of ,shanties have
bean huilt the past two weeks and still
others are going up daily. The par
ties SO squatting are only throwing
away their time and money. The con

eminent has nothing to do with it.
