In marked contrast with the Repub-
lican press in general, we present the
following reference TO Mrs. Lease in
the Lawrence Record
Mrs. Lease everlastingly roasted John j. In-
gals at Atlanta, Georgia, the other night. She
drew the deadly parallels in his speeches, and
disputed the arguments Of his speech there the
day before by extracts from former utterances
OF the statesman out Of a job" Her peroEatiOn
was most beautiful:
"I remember to have read about the confeder-
ate and federal armies being camped one night
on either side Of the Rappahannock. A party OF
cOnfederateS, to pass the time, broke into sing
Ing the familiar air, Dixie On the other side

the lone singer until the very hllls echoed the
grand music.
Forgotten was their prejudice, forgotten

"Georgisns, Kansas extends to you greetings.

GOOD. BYE, OLD KELLEY.

Old Harrison Kelley, an old barnacle who has
been kept In office by the Republican party Of
Kansas for the past twenty-five years, who has
had mortgage on every Office In the command
Of the old crowd, who has been Republican for
office and for office only, has left us.
Goodbye, Old Kelley, we're glad TO lose you.
You're another less ass to bray eternally at the
Republican crib and kick over the Republican
traces; and we can well spare you.
We said you were going six months ago and
were roundly abused by old Hudson and other
bOurbOnS for the assertion. They extolled you
highly for your stalWart Republicansm and said
you were true blue and daisy from away back.
They abused us and called us names for insinuat-
Ing that you were an Office seeker first and
Republican afterward.
We hope they're enjoying their crow. But we
don't sympathiSe with them. We have never
stood by you; are glad your public acts have at
last justified our private opinion.
Goodbye, Old Kelley.
Well miss you; but thank the good Lord,
We can spare YOU'LL Dorado Republican.
This is the manner in which the
Republican party parts with its for
mer friends as one by one they forsake
the old craft and identify themselves
with the people in opposition to the
plutOcrats. As long as they remain
in the old party they are patriots and
statesmen; when they leave it they
were only barnacles anyway.

THE PEOPLE CAN READ.

The Demo-republican press is Ia
boring very hard to convince the
people that the contribution for cam
paign purposes asked for by the
state central committee of the Peo-
ple's party, is an assessment. The
folly of this claim appears in the fact
that the committee has no power to
enforce collection OF an assessment,
and would therefore be very foolish
to make one, and the falsehood Of the
clsim will appear upon reading the
resolution adopted. Unfortunately
for the enemy the people are all able
to read and understand the Kings

AND THE TWAIN BECAME ONE FLESH"

"AND THE TWAIN BECAME ONE FLESH"
In the twenty-fift judicial district
the Demo Republican party has de-
clared war upon Judge Doster, and
the twain have become one flesh.
From the Kansas City Times Of the
18th we clip the following:
The Democrats Of this judicial district, without
a dissenting voice, signlaed their willingness to
join with the balance Of the more conservative
element in this matter, which resulted in the
Republicans granting the Democrats the privl-
lege OF naming the ''winning man."
After a thorough discussion OF the matter,
Hon. Luclen Earle, of Mcpherson, was deslg-
mated as the Democratic standard bearer, and
the Republicans OF Mcpherson county took the
inltatory step and selected five staunch and true
Republicans as delegates to the anti-sOciallstlc
convention, instructing them for Lucien Earle.
The Republicans Of Marion and Chase counties
will follow their Mcpherson county brethren, as
will the Democrats of the three cOunties-prOb-
ably by the end Of this week.
AS we have repeatedly stated, the
Republican party of Kansas is moth
ing but Democratic side show; and
we warn all honest, old time Repub-
licans to beware of it. This is q
scheme of the Democracy Of the south
to capture the state and national gov
ernments by wicked, unregenerated
and bloodthirsty rebels.

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.


The Ohio state convention of the
Peoples party struck the key note
for the solution of the, liquor prob
lem. The following is the plank of
the platform relating to this subject:
We believe that the solution Of the liquor
question lies In abOlishing the elements of profit
which are source Of constant temptation and
evil, and we therefore demand that the impOrta-
ton, expectation, manufacture and sale Of Splr-
ituouS liquors shall be conducted by the govern
ment or state at cost, through agencies and sal
aried officials In such cities and towns as shall
apply for such agencies
Abolish the elements of profit in
the traffic, and the iniquities growing
out of it will then be all the argu-
ment required to eliminate it's illegit-
innate uses from civilized society.

Is IT AN ISSUE?

There has been great revolution
in the sentiment of the Republican
press during the past few months.
During the campaign last year, they,
with one voice, insisted that prohi-
bition was the only issue before the
people; and a great howl was made
all along the line because the Peoples
party had no prohibition plank in its
platform. Now they say it is not an
issue at all; it is q settled question.

Chinaman in the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Half dozen times in the course of the march
to the grave the bearers of the body make
these short turns and, occasionally, after turn
Ing, will suddenly halt and wait for several
minutes.
The purpose of these sudden turns and
unexpected halts is to deceive the devil The
Chinese devil is very great fool, and can al
ways be outwitted if you know how to go
about 1T. He is always waiting at the door
OF house where one has died, but is not
allowed to stand in front and watch, but must
take up position little to one side. He is
short-sighted, very lame, and has no joints in
his legs to enable him to turn a corner quickly
When he wants to go round q corner he must
stop, back in a half circle till he gets his face
in the proper direction, when he can go ahead.
All these facts are we'll known to the pail

mourning they come in run, SO as to get q
good start OF the devil. While they are
making the start punches of firecrackers are

enough crackers and powder are used at the

before the devil can clear the smoke out of
his eyes and see which way they have gone
But, lest he should have pursued them with

turn, and II the devil has been following
them, he shoots on by, and before he can
turn back they have gone round the next
corner. The great point is to throw him off

a turn is made, in the hope of soaring him

wanted to s'pick him up" and show him the

By this time they had reached the Lafayette

said:

tar and feather them. No, sir; we would not

DoNNED A BATHING SUIT.
The Model in "The Clemenceau Case"
Were One at Asbury Park.

When 1.-The Clemenceau Case'' was billed
at Asbury Park, the good fathers of the fa-
nous summer resort held consultation The
precedent established by the good fathers of
Boston, who had prohibited the production
peremptorily, was fresh in their minds, and
pointed out course they could follow. But
the good fathers of Asbury Park, unwilling to
cast gloom over the resort, moved slowly In
the matter and reflected until they fell asleep.
In the meantime, Manager William A. Brady
arrived with his company and went to work,
perfectly unconcerned, to give Asbury Park
one of the most elaborate productions it had
ever witnessed. He proceeded with the re-
hearsals just as If the good fathers of Asbury
Park had never existed.
1t began to be whispered around during
the afternoon that the authorities would in
terfere with the performance, and before
evening everybody felt assured that the studio
scene would be omitted. 1t was then that
Manager Brady posted on the walls of the
opera house the following reassuring pla-
cards; "The studio scene tonight without

creased, OF course, and before the doors were
opened every seat had been sold.
The first two acts of the play went on with
out interference, but before the curtain rolled
up on the third act there was q commotion on
the stage, and the audience had an unusually
long wait. 1t at once became noised around
the house that the authorities had interfered,
and that the model scene would be cut out
The audience grew restless. The wait was
due to an accident that seldom occurs in
we'll disciplined companies. One of the trav-
cling trunks belonging to Miss Emma Bell,
the liza of the play, had miscarried, and what
was worse, 1t contained the costume worn in
the model scene. Quick as flash, however,
Manager Brady obtained a very attractive
bathing costume, and in this dazzling gar
ment Miss Bell not only captiyated the
audience, but made the good fathers of AS
bury Park think that Boston's aldermen had
cast tinsinuations on the morality of their sum
mer resort.
