Lately new daily in Kansas appears al
most weekly.
The candidates for congressman at large
do not seem to be at large.
PETER would make popular assessor.
He runs everything down So
| Our hogs are welcomed to Germany, but
no such invitation comes to Jerry Simp-
son. More discrimination.
Senator Plumb's idea is not to abuse the
Alliance Nobody else has. It is the Al
lance leaders that have been ridlcnled.
The Alliance legislature was in favor of
closing the national banks. The nearest
they could come to doing this was to es-
tablish legal holidays.
Judge Mckay last Monday fined man
500 for contempt of court. Mckay does
pretty well for man who knows more
about baling hay than he does criminals.
Minister Egan's bad breaks forcibly
bring to mind the fact that if a Kansas
man could have had the place everything
would be all right. Look at Egypt and
Mexico.
Jerry Simpson ridicules the worlds fair
women for wearing silk stockings. 1t is
time for Mrs. Simpson to use what little
influence she has over her husband and
call him off,
George R. Peck attended banquet
given by Steele Mackaye to Henry Irving
in London, Saturday night, and good
many people present mistook him for
Chauncey Depew.

can.
Don't understand from what say that
l am going back on the Alliance" said an
old farmer the other day; 'but somehow
or other my cornstalks don't look half so
high or the ears half SO plump after I've
heard one of PETERS speeches as they do
after hearing Plumb"
''Mr. Jones" said the editor to the cor
respondent, 'you indulge in an exaggera-
ton in your sketch that L viii have to

evening on a summer day in western Kan
sas the wind died down have lived in
western Kansas myself and that never
happened"
1t was on train going through Illinois.
Two farmers had struck up an acquaint-
ance. $50 you're from Kansas" said one,
"Well, that's funny. So am |. !"
"Been there long!"
'Nigh onto twenty years"
whats yer politics"
"H'm; Pm Alliance"
"Well, that's funny; so am l."
''Think she'll last?"
''Of course do"
There was little pause here, and the
first speaker, grown little easier at find
ing a fellow member, said:
who's going to be president next timer
Cleveland?"
"Well. I should say not. Blaine; Blaine
every time. All, 1 tell you, there is
giant. Give me Blaine every time I
don't cast vote for any whisky-bloated
old boodler like Cleveland
"Come of, ;" said the other man, flush
ing up, "Cleveland's better man every
day in the year than that corrupt old bar
nacle, Blaine"
"He amt"
''He is. -
"You talk like an old Republican. No
Alliance about you"
"And you're pesky Democrat. No AL
lance about you, either. Rats!"
Don't give me any of your back talk. -
'And don't you give me any of your
lip, Cleveland indeed. Why man, I'd
see my last hand cut off before I'd cast
vote for him. I've cast my last vote in the
same party with any man who does too

lips and black-eyes finally succeeded in
getting the two men in separate cars.
