ALLIANCE insIncenty 10 regard q
the reduction Of official fees anC
salaries was again proven last week
when the faithful refused to reduc'
the fees attached 10 the ONCE o
state printer.
HALF . million dollars Of tn,
peoples money have been spent by
the Alliance in the legislature and
there IL nothing TO show for II. Il
this what our farmer friends bar
gained for last fall?
CLAY eounty's sheriff answers q
the name Of Need. The newspaper
man who gets the sherifI's sales uE
there can truly testify to the truth
OF the old prOverb, "A friend In
Need IL friend indeed.
A GREAT number Of Jokes and
alleged jokes have been cracked al
the expense Of Jerry Simpson. OF
them all we think the one sprung by
the Sterling bulletin which com.
pared him to bird OF paradise takes
the palm.
SENATOR MOHLER last week Oh.
tanned an indefinite leave OF absence
from duty in the senate on account
Of sickness. Brother Bristow and
Brother johnson probably consider
this q direct visitation Of evil for
employing q Democratic clerk.
We are inclined TO agree with
Alex Butts that the Clay Center
Dispdtch's new dress IL q daisy, but
its bonnet Is just hoTrid. Leaving
out all remarks about personal
sdOrnment the Dispdtch is one Of
the papers OF which Kansas IL proud.
Hon. JERRY SIMPSONS society
note paper, says the Philadelphia
PrcSs, will have the family arms-a
field Of Kansas, q pillow perspective,
with two haystacks rampant, en-
blszoned thereon with ths motto:
I'm sock sigHo riRccs" in lilies Of
the valley.
IT takes brains for double lead
ers."-ErcHiHg NcWs.
Let's see! Double leaders (pro.
ledders) are those def fingered indi-
Yiduals who insert two leads between
two lineH Of type. This explains
why the .N'ws man never learned
type-setting, himself.
BANTER the new man on the Sa-
lima Journal sets his saIutatory
solid" instead Of double loaded.
He IL entirely too modest about the
matter.-Cidg Center Dispatch.
Bion set the opposite example last
week by publishing a column and q
half Of complimentary notices Oh
the Dispdtch's late change. thereby
suitlng the action to the word.
IT is said that the Knox bank
failure at Topeka knocks the Topeka
Methodist college scheme Into q
cooked hat. II Is we'll. With such
excellent denomlnationaI institu-
lions as Baker University, and the
Kansas Wesleyan University of
this city, there seems TO be no good
reason for the establishment Of any
more Methodist schools I'm this state. |
Tow CORDRY. at one time connect |
ed with the Gazette, Of this city, is |
now playing second fiddle to Bion
Hutchins on the Clay Center Dis
patch. This calls 10 mind the claim
made by Col. J. Henri PAdgett, of
the SAlina Evening NcTs to the
effect that said Padgett done all the
work on the late lamsnted Gazette,
and should receive all the credit.
Perhaps Mr.. COrdry can substanti-
ate the claim Of Col. Padgett.
THE policy of retrenchment and
reform lie still being carried on vigor-
ously by the management Of the
Union Pacific Railway. The COM
pany has discovered that IL pays to
look after the moral, mental, physI-
cal aud religious welfare Of the men
employed on the road aud al sixteen
different points on the line will
establish railway brances OF the Y.

priated large amount Of money to
erect buildings and will bear the
burden Of expense In maintaining
hem.
HERE IL an Interesting item In re-
yard 20 honesty in Office which our
Democratic friends are continually
iarping about, and which, with
quail persistence. they fail to carry
nto practice. Following are nine
states, all Of them reliably Demo
