Dressed in Rags, but They
Could Spell.

While waiting for the close of
political meeting in Oliver street one
evening, a Tribune reporter went out
of the meeting-room and stood upon
the sidewalk, watching the meeting |
through an open window. In a few
moments seven little girls from . to
years old, ragged and bold, gath
cred about the newspaper man and
began a REORGANIZATION of him.
"Are you landlord" said one.
"No, not yet" said the reporter,
with thoughts so deep that his little
callers on the curb knew not of.
"What are you, them"
81 am reporter"
"a reporter" all said at once in
chorus
ooh, yes, know. You've come
down here to write about them in

"Where were you born, girls?"
"Water street, said one. "Oliver

"All live 'rorad here?"
"Yes."

I'll give cent TO the one that spells

That was received with Immense
favor, One little tot began with;
"S-i-d-e-w.a-l-k-sidewalk."

He WEARIED OF POLITENESS.

An Individual Who Objected TO the

He was clad in an ulster Of faded
blue material, reaching from the tops
of his unpublished shoes, to the brim OF
his over-ventilated straw hat, and as
he sauntered up Morrison street yes

second in front Of the show window
OF every restaurant, gazed intensely
upon their contents, and resumed his
walk.
About an hour later the same in
dividual, still clad in the ulster of
faded blue material, was discovered
by policeman dressing an mag
mary constituency from the top of a
cracker box in trout Of the Portland
hotel. None of the passers paid
much attention to him, but neverthe
less he appeared to be thoroughly en-
crossed in the subject of his own re-
marks. He spoke ramblingly Of
oyster fritters and clam soup, and
when ordered by the officer to step
down from the top Of the cracker box,
turned politely to his invisible listeners
and murmured:
"Friends. leave you, but it is not
of my own accord"

nona, get all you can save, all you get,
to stint yourself and everybody be-

annous laahes, and since the Peoples
party has 80 glorlously triumphed and
has seated its Representatives In To
peka, dethroned Ingalls, and elected illus
trious "Hayseed Jerry" and others to
serve them In Washington, the coaxing
and threatening has given way to fouler
means, and the lords Of ShylOck are send
ing forth their decree, claiming the
pounGof flesh from the people that the
people have betrayed into their hands,
whilst the people we're of Of their guard
and unorganIzed. But they will find
that there is power In Venus to alter the
DEGREES that they have established. The
monopolies must melt away under the
great influence Of the organized masses,
and equality, liberty and equal rights
must prevail.
As "Shylock demands justice" let him
be assured he shall receive justice, but
the people will have a just judge to de-
eide what is Justice For the last five
years shylock has been demanding from
l2 10 80 per cent. interest on the money
he has wEenched from the toiling mil
lions and has been lOaning to the people,
and, from experience, we say to the peo-
pie Of southwest Kansas. But later, since
our most worthy Representatives have
taken their stand as the servants Of the
people, instead OF the dupes Of shylOck,
and as they are legislstlng for the mas
ses, Shylock has become indignant "and
ls demanding the bosom exposed and the
pound taken nearest the heart" Of his
subjects.
As an illustration and for explanation
/ will refer to one of my nelghbors, who
has become one Of his victims. He had
q mortgage Of $500 on his farm; two
years ago the hail destroyed his crops;
in 1889 he had a fair corn crop, but
could not get more than from II to IA
cents per bushel for It; last year he had
almost an entire failure Of corn and oat
crops, thus rendering him unable to pay
either interest or tax for two years and
support his wife and seven children. SO
he had fallen behind on these two items
1888. The loan company brought suit,
demanding foreclosure, and the same
was allowed in the court Of Pratt, under
the iudgship Of Lesly, Of Kingman. The
farm was sold under the sheriff's ham
mer for the sum Of S75 to the loan COM
pany, allowing them to take full posses

gard to personal security loans, but suf-

every effort at present to oppress the
people Of Kansas. He Is refusing to loan
any more money In Kansas, but may he
remember that the rose only sends forth
q sweeter perfume when it Is cruabed; 80
II is with the brave people Of Kansas

more thoroughly knit together, and as
