You See How L Is.

From the Press and Printer.
A great mapy mistakes get into news
papers, but it doesn't follow that state
ment is an error because it is disputed.
For instance; Said man of national
tame, who had commanded one of the
Union armies, been governor of a state
and had served with distinction in con-
gress, in furnishing some sensational but
true statements for publication: 'sThis
is exact; but if you ever give me as
authority | will publicly deny your dis
patch. Said former dean of the diplo-
matte corps, in presenting story of
deep interest: eff you allow this to be
traced to me, will promptly deny any
connection with it over my official
signature, and leave you in the lurch.
Said senator Of many years service
both in and out of congress, after talk
ing at length for publication: Eyes,
write it up and print it. But be careful.
If don't like it will deny the whole of
it" The wonder is that in the rush of
presenting news at each breakfast table
the paper does not make a thousand
errors for one. 1t makes very few de-
liberately.

FAMINE VS.. PLENTY.
ALA HIAwATHA.1

o the long and thirsty summer,
OF disaster the forerunnerl
q the blazing rays of sunlight,
burning grass and causing corn-blighti
When the crops had failed last season
When the people lost their reason,
And engaged in wild ghost dances
On the sunny plains of Kansas
When the hot winds scorched catalpa,
Hoboes came to talk alfalfa;
Came the mighty way out" teacher,
Backadawin, famine preacher;
Came an old siIk-paper fakir,
Pau-Pdk-Keewis, money maker:
Came poor bare-footed fairy,
Maid-son-lO-ge, Sockiess Jerry;
Came two Amazonian GROWERS
Lea-Se-Diggs-es, female howlerS;
Game dozen other speakers,
Boodle-sockers. office-seekers:
And they talked in ways erratic
OF the people plutocratic,
Of the mortgage and the loan cheat
And the bulls and bears of Wall street,
And of Shylock and his vices
And the Robber Tariff prices;
Talked they all of deprivation,
And of hunger and starvation
How Republicans and sinners
Were expressing the breadwinners,
BY manipulating grain rates
And controlling heavens f1ood-gates,
And how, through the tariff slaughter,
Grover had six-pound daughter;
Anu l13Ey EuOuIEu QEuaHCGs
And enrolled in an alliance,
Where the hobOes did the lancing.
And the people the ghost dancing.
O the gentle summer shower,
treshening the grass and flower!
d the rain from heaven descending,
Bringing harvests never-endingl
One more year, as time advances,
And a change comes over Kansas;
Filled again is ev'ry wheat bin,
Plenty Is the corn, Mondamin,
Fen the hopper, Pah-Puk-keena,
Fails to enter the arena;
Thrift and wealth in eY'ry valley
Makes the peoples spirits rally;
Makes them stay within the cornfeld
Gathering the golden grain-yield,
And refrain from ghostly dreaming
While the earth with fruit is teeming,
And the pearly rain drops falling
Robs the hoboes Of their calling.
COmeth then the news, prophetic,
That the Buckeye sage, John Sherman,
Still wears senatorial erInine,
That Mckinley and protection
Wins Ohio's state election,
That grand old party shower
Sweeps the noble state, sunf1ower;
And the hoboes curse the weather,
And they murmur thus together:
Farewell to our boasted gloryl
Wasted is our ghostly story!
Darkness spread her mantle DER us,
Soon We'll join those gone before US
Join the host of ghostly strangers,
Join the late-lamented grangers,
In the realm of the disgusted,
In the kingdom of the bustedi''

Scarcity of help is the CRY all over the
state these days. Farmers west Of US
cannot get the maahines and help to do
their threshing and nearly every one is
short of help with which to put in the
fall crops. The railroads find 1t hard to
keep their section gangs full, and claim
it is almost impossible to get extra men.
This state of affairs ccertainly does not
indicate bad times, depression and
scarcity of money.

greatly exercised over what their fears
indicate viz. fusion of Alliance and
Democrats in '92. We frankly admit
that such course would wipe out the
Republican party in Kansas and that the

thirty years, but, such fusion is not
likely to occur, unless the Alliance can
