All over Kansas yesterday the radical
Republican was convincing himself that
a boy baby is much the nicer.
1t is going to be as hard to get elected in
Kansas this fall as it was to get Republi-
can nomination two years ago.
| Some mems idea of Kansas fair is that
it ought to offer premium for the biggest
mortgage, to be exhibited in agricultural
hall.
Kansas is away ahead of the rest of the
world. Jim Lane killed himself years be-
fore Boulanger and Balmaceda were ever
heard of.
A very peculiar bright red cloud appear
ed in the northwest shortly after dark
last Friday evening that was visible all
over the state.
Peffer's wild statement about turning
1.-THE plows into muskets has resulted in
turning a good many sensible Alliance
men into clubs-Republican clubs.
Dan Anthony of the Leavenworth Times
is visiting in New York, and the city or
dinance against carrying concealed weap-
ons is being, to certain extent, complied
with.
1t is a poor rule that won't work both
ways, says Harold Chase of the Topeka
Capital When Melbourne comes to To-
peka Goodland ought to have a nice
shower.
1t is not to be credited to Grover Cleve-
lands sagacity, but the leader of Dem
,1e hos cfo ad Oy1t in
fair way to avoid any repetitions of Rus
sell Harrison.
A great many Republicans are very near
a condition of wild-eyed grief whenever
they chance to think that the reputation
of the Kansas Alliance men in congress
next winter lies on Funston and Broder-
ick's shoulders.
Luther Challis of Atchison believes that
the modern mother pays too much atten-
tion to sciologic movement. The move
ments of the old-fashioned mother over
the seat of Luther's pants may not have
been sciologic, but in an indirect way they
have had their effect on society.
"Heyday," said Santa Claus, as he sight
ed bank of snow-clouds in the north
west, puffed his big pipe and hung 'shut
the. door" sign up, won't the little Kan
sas children rejoice when they find that
have gone back to the Republican party.
Poor little thingsl 1 was Alliance last
year"
Who lives in this house, so quiet and
bleak, with all the shades down, the doors |
closed and nothing heard or stirring save
the cluck of the hen with her brood on the |
front walk2 And whose are the three |
buggies tied out in front?
The DOCTORS.
And who is the pale man lying low on |
the white bed with his face bandaged and |
plastered, his arm in a sling and his leg |
splintered? The three doctors bend over
him in consultation. Is he sick?
Very.
Has he been crushed in a wreck or fallen
down coal shaft? Or did a cannon
explode?
Oh mol
Then why is this man so broken and i'll,
and so nigh unto death? And where are
his neighbors? Has he no friends?
He was at big Alliance meeting, where
no one but Alliance men were. And when
al were fairly seated he came upon the
stage and graspinS the stars and stripes
1oating there said: Fellow citizens of
Kansas and Alliance brethern-with your
l will tear this Republican rag
lown."
That was all.

Kentucky's state treasury is again
empty. This is not an infrequent occur
renee, however. During the past dozen
years it has been in that condition more
frequently than any other. Twenty-Five
years ago, when the Republicans turned
over the control of the state to the Dem
ocrats the state had to its credit in cash
and available assets upwards of a million
dollars and owed no debts. Under the
wise and economical @ management of
the states affairs by the Democrats the
cash and assets rapidly disappeared, and
from the proud position, which they de-
lighted to boast, of being the only state
with a good surplus and no debt, it has
descended to the pauper level with
million-dollar debt hanging over the
state, and growing bigger.

Wichita's fair was a big affair yester-
day. The scribe took it in and speaks
from knowledge. More than 1O, 900 peo-
pie attended Thursday, and the attend
ance has all along been good despite
Thursdays rain. The admission must
be made however that the race track
was the chief attrac.ion-no denying it.
The extent of the agricultural display
was disappointing but the quality, es-
pecially of corn, was good. Pump
kins were good, too, 100 Founders
Wheat was excellent save for the bleach
ing due to the rainy harvest. There was
considerable fruit. but queerly enough it
was not labelled, so that the unlearned
in horticulture were left still at sea.
Cattle, sheep and hogs were well repre-
sented but the show of horses was not up
to the usual number. The races were
good on rather heavy track. The fair
has undoubtedly been great success
financially.

A million dollars for a simple little
secret seems like an outrageous consid-
GRAFTON, but in the case of Melbourne's
rain-making experiments that price
would be a mere basatelle if it shall be
demonstrated beyond a doubt With
the people, particularly those of the arid
portions of the country, in possession OF
the knowledge and the means of pro-
ducing rain whenever needed, the ques-
ton of irrigation, with the millions that
will be required to inaugurate and es-
tabhsh a comprehensive system would
be dispensed with. But this is treating
seriously what is generally regarded as
a huge Joke.

HONI SOFT.

The now celebrated case of the Eng
llsh nobleman who cheated at cards
under the very nose of royalty is still
and promises to be kept alive by the
culprit, who has announced that he
will write book about it. Society as
l Have Cheated IT, would not be a bad
name fer his side of the story; and if
the cover of the book had an engraving
of one Of the Prince of Wales G10 coun-
tiers with ''Honi soft que NAL pense"
on it, we are sure it would sell. We are
not so certain but this time-encrusted
motto of British royalty is not largely
responsible for the royal nose being I'M
able to detect the crookedness that has
led to all this trouble. GORDON CUM
MING carefully picked out e10 coun-
ter with the royal motto upon it,
murmured, "Honi soft qui NAL
pense," and gently tipped it to where it
would Increase without danger. The
royal banker taw the royal counter. and
recognized it as one that was constantly
with him. The faint surprise he may
have had at its sudden appearance, and
royal exchequer, was merely that oil
well-trained gambler, who is barely
surprised when things don't come his
way. Beyond a soto voce ''HOni soft
que NAL y pense." under the royal
breath, and an audible request to the
noble cheater to do it more openly, the
prince said nothing. The game went
on, and everybody honi-soltted vigor-
ously and kept on playing. Any one
who can appreciate the delicacy of
sentimental feeling can easily under
stand how mnch there is in association,
and how hard it was for Wales to be-
lieve that one of his own we'll
loved counters had played him false.
Had ordinary counters been used. it is
safe TO say that the noble nature of the
prince would not have been subjected
to such strain, and his pecuniary loss
would have been much less. We are
sorry for the prince. for we believe him
to be square gambler: and there is no
question that, though he was unfortu-
nate enough to gamble with cheat. he
did what every man who values senti-
ment above gold would do. When he
signed the paper not to give the noble
card-sharp away, he did it under San
evil to him who evil thinks" idea. and
he didn't want the world to think evil of
any one who played with the royal
counters. With the calm judgment of
disinterested party who has never
gambled except with the chips of the
lower middle classes, we would advise
the prince to have it expressly under
stood with his high-born friends of the
Tranby Croft variety that cheating must
only be attempted with counters that
have no insignia of royalty. He might
be perfectly willing at once to play with
a man who cheats with ordinary count
ers; but the power of royalty is so great
that he cannot refuse to play IN game
where ''honi soft que NAL y pense"
heads every pile of chips and protects
Tipped counters from being hurled into
the face of the man who flips them, and
commands the royal head to sign paper
Ito protect a cheat and his own private
counters.
