The State OF Kansas IS getting TO be
quite freak among It's SISTERS. All its

politics are injected into everything
but religion. and u will soon reach
that. 10 tinetured the mode of cele-
brsting the glorious Fourth this year,

kinds Of politics. 1t has also invaded
the sacred precincts OF the courts. and
the Alliance judge, who knows no law
except sunfiower law lis max

peculiar performances have attracted
the attention of the whole country and
the nOtoriety be has attained has
swelled his head and the Alliance head
as veil. The whole order IS proud OF
him. tie has the united support of
every sub-Alliance, and they are
determined to keep him IN Office.
Resolutions ado tied by the Harper
County sub-Alliance declare that they
have found a Judge who is honest, and
there IS disposition all over the State

for such a thing as this 10 last in this

quarre!ing among themselves and then
this same judge will have to apply to

/ see no reason why both the new
newspaper ventures in New York should
not succeed.
Colonel Cockerilps Advertiser" built
on the ruins of the "Star' and 'Conti-
nent," is a clean, condensed, bright Dem
cratic paper which costs but one cent
and is making its way gradually, not by
blowing of trampsts but b. its excellent
cews and editorial service. Colonsl
Cockeril, probably stands next to Dana
in persanal value as a newspaper editor,
In which category It IL hardly fair to
class Messrs Pulitzer and Bennett In
their European retreats Moreover,
Colonel Cockerill has some very efficient
aids, bound to him by his personal popu.
larity with al newspaper workers and
ready to sink or swim with him.
Tho Advertiser" is sn editors paper,
and the Recorder" under Mr.. Turner Is
q publishers paper. The latter aims to
keep people talking about IT, IL il its
owners deliberate aim to keep New York
supplied with novelties TO discuss The
Recorders" vacation schemes, its blue
