A pretty state of case is developing in
New Orleans just now. The community
is somewhat divided on the lottery ques-
ton and some of the ministers of the
city are taking part in the discussion, of
course on the anti side. This has pro-
voked some of the local papers that sup
port the lottery cause to retaliate against
! the churches and they attempt to COM
promise the opposition of the preachers
by raking up some old historical and
reminiscical data showing that from
1922 to 1888 certain Presbyterian and
Unitarian churches in the city received
special grants, which they used, to
operate lottery scheme in order to raise
money to pay off church Indebtedness,
to build houses of worship, etc. There
is no sort of doubt that many crimes
have been committed and wrongs done
in the name of the church, but this does
not justify other offenders in trying to
pull down the church, even as dernier
resort, in order to uphold a bad cause
and defend themselves in wrong doing.

The shooting of a son of Senator Jones,
Of Arkansas, in crowded railway pas
senger coach should suggest to Governor
terance that has made Governor Hogg
the most popular man in Texas, to-wit:
"The pistol toter must CO." So enam-
ored of this axiom are Texans that the
latest style pants are made without hip
pockets. Governor Eagle may protest
on the ground of the more peaceful
utilization of that receptacle by the
average Arkansawian, but, as the Spring
field Democrat pertinently suggests,
whether viewed as through a glass
darkly or in accordance with the origi-
nal Texas idea, the hip pocket is snare

IT WILL BE a BIG THING.

The South Kansas Fair will be the
greatest thing of the kind ever seen in
this state; the finest agricultural exposi-
ton, the greatest horticultural show, the
grandest livestock exhibit, the most at
tractive art display, all rounded out
with the biggest crowd and the fastest
horses in the west There is no mistake
about all this. The association have got
the pins all set, and bad weather at the
time only can bring disappointment.
The premium list is simply superb, the
purses valuable. No fair ever held in
the state offered such number of val
liable and costly special premiums. The
list of special premiums and the money
they represent would insure a crowd of
exhibitors in the absence Of a general
list. Thousands upon thousands Of dol
lars will be carried away by the farmers
of South Kansas and other exhibitors.
The business men Of Wichita are gener-
Gus when it comes to special premiums.
Of course the crowd will be big and
trade more than ordinarily lively, but it's
their pride in Wichita as well as their
generosity. One hundred thousand peo-
pie will prove a low estimate of the num-
Der who will come to the South Kansas
Fair

Ex-senator ingalls, is lecturing in the east,
but his old friend, the Associated Press agent,
seems TO have forsaken him. 1t is the first
bruise the retired offfce-holder gets.-Wichita
EAGLE.
How about Grover Cleveland? He is a
retired officer and the Associated Press
wires and mails are burdened with his
letters and speeches And yet there is
more wisdom and brightness in one of
Ingalls, addresses than in all Cleveland
ever wrote or spoke or thought ordreamed.
-Leavenworth Times.
The difference is accounted for in a
mere circumstance, i. e. Cleveland has
occupied the white house and ingalls,
has not. According to the popular esti-
mate of men their success depends upon
how they succeed, and that, in turn, is
governed more by the assertiveness than
the ability of the individual, as rule,
and this case does not present an excep-
ton.

The attempt at fusion in Riley county
results in a demand by the Maphattan
Mercury for all Democrats to assert their
manhood. 1t says: "Will you lick the
hand that smites you and couch like a
cur beneath the blows and insults of
your ancient and immediate enemies?
The outrageous proceedings of the
Leonardville convention should deter
mine every Democrat who is possessed
of the remotest respect for himself to at
once renew his allegiance to the old
Democratic party" 1t is no use. The
horses eyes are sot. In nearly every
county in Kansas it is fusion or no
chance for SO much as smell of an Of
flee for a Democrat, and without a
chance for an Office no Democrat would
be expected to be discovered.

The American farmer always has a
kick coming, and he is never too tired to
make 1t. When crops are poor he has
nothing to sell, and when crops are good
prices strike the nadir with dull hollow
plunk and knock the bottom out of it.
Big crops should be blessing instead of
a course, and they will be when the
principle of reciprocity shall have opened
markets for some more bushels of wheat
and barrels of pork to the American
farmer and stock raiser.

Here is an idea that might be turned
to advantage and profit by the farmer,
the gardener and the fruit grower. On
account Of the abundance of moisture
this season, combined with sufficient
heat, light and electricity, the crops Of
grain, vegetables and fruit are unusually
perfect, which naturally increases their
productiveness so that the seed from this
seasons crops ought TO beone-fifth better
than ordinary, and for that reason ought
to be preserved for future seeding.

Sam Jones says that linen are more
particular than women whom they as
sociate with" This prompts the Austin
Salesman to observe that it has been
frequently observed that women take
more kindly to sensational gospel sharps
than do their hard-headed husbands and
brothers. But granting that this is so, it
shows that they err in the direction of
fervency and good conscience.

From VIII Bottoms kiowa Signal
This thing of attempting to read a
man out of a party because he speaks
his convictions without regard to party
dictation is the "blamedst fool idea"
which ever caused dissention in the
ranks and thinned out the strength Of
any party. We are for free. outspoken
thought, let it emenate from whomso-
ever it will. We are morally and polit-
ically opposed to secret society control
Of elections and the partisanship which
seeks to shut a voters eyes to the faults
of his party is just as bad.

The Sullivan-Kilrain mill that took
place in Mississippi several months ago
caused no little comment in the press of
the country because Of the efforts of the
state authorities to prevent the fight,
and after it had taken place and the
governor pursued the chase after the
infractors of the law he was criticized
not a little for the zeal he exhibited in
sustaining the majesty of the law and
the dignity of the state. 1t is gratifying,
however, that very marked change
has taken place in the public sentiment
touching the practice Of prize fighting.
as is evidenced by tie cordial endorse
ment accorded Gov. Merriam, of Mime
sofa, for bis prompt and effective inter
ference in the proposed combat in St.

This endorsement indicates a healthful
regeneration in progress in the popular
conscience. Let it work on until the dis
ease is thoroughly eradicated.
