precinct, But if my deductions are correct,
what must we think Of those chosen TO look
after our interests? Our Dick, "where was

our part somewhere. To say there was not
is to coufesS that we, as o party, from

Obtuse an aggregation of nincompoops, ab-

We give place to the above as bear
ing upon the question of fraud in
1890, though we still dissent from
some of its conclusions. The writer
asks If we are so sure Of our position
THAT the doctoring was done before
the returns reached Topeka, why not
state just where and how it was
doneW
We have never claimed to know
where and how it was done. That is
one Of the secrets only entrusted to
the supposed faithful. We stated
the ground Of our belief in this the
ory in the article referred to above.
That ground was that the returns
suddenly ceased to be received here
a little after midnight on the night
of the election; Bill Higgins and
other republican politicians took the
earliest trains out Of the city; promi-
nent republicans who have since left
the party, now say that it was COM
mon talk about the state house and
about republican headquarters
among the elect just what was being
done, and that part Of the mischief
was done in Lesvenworth county and
it was done by counting Robinson
votes for Humphrey; these are our
grounds for the statements made and
we see no reason to change our views
Of the subjaCt yet.

THAT PROPOSED JOINT DEBATE.

THAT PROPOSED JOINT DEBATE,
Since the republican committee Of
the Seventh district issued a chsl-
lengs for series of joint discussions
between the Hon. Chester I. Long
and the Hon. Jerry Simpson, several
republican editors have been having
cold chills in view of the certain con-
sequences of such a conflict. They
will experience much relief, there
fore, on account Of the fact that the
Peoples party central committee,
without consulting Jerry, has de-
clined to furnish the attraction to
draw crowds for the republican can
didates to bore. The following is
Chairman Bsiley's reply to the chsl-
lenge. 1t explains itself:
WICHITA, KAs., September 26, 1892.
Hon. Morgan Ca alCoy, Chairman RepubltcGn
congressional, Committee, SeUenth DtsJrtOt,
KnRSdS.
DEAR S1R:-I hereby acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of proposition looking to series Of
joint debates between Hon. Jerry Simpson,
present congressman from the Big Seventh
and candidate for reelection, and Hon.
Chester 1. Long, republican nominee for
congress.
Without consulting Mr.. Simpson upon
this subject, take the responsibility, as
chairman Of the Peoples party congress
sionsl committee, of oourteously but pos
itively declining the proposition for the
following manifest reasons:
1. That for the past six weeks your COM
mittee has exhausted ever means at it's COM
msnd to secure for Mr.. Long a respectable
sized audience, only to meet with dismal
failure, while Mr.. Simpsons campaign in
this district has been one continuous ova-
ton, and therefore do not wish to be
party to or in any way assist in forcing the
people to hear Mr.. Long when they have so
clearly shown by their non attendance at
his meetings that they do not want to hear
him.
2. Since constant Misrepresentation and
abuse of the opponents Of the republican
party Of Kansas, and not argument uron

Robbiug a Gators Nest.

One day quite recently Ben Wichers
found nest Of baby alligators in Kersey
lake and proceeded at once to gather them
in. About the time he had captured all he
could conveniently handle, he saw the old
mother gator, who wss monster twelve
feet in length, coming straight az him with
wide open jaws. AS he had no gun with
him he did the next best thing and took to
his heels as fast as he could run, with the
big alligator after him and gaining at every
jump.
Then he began to spill the baby gators
along the road, hoping the old saurian
would stop to attend to them. Aut in this
he was disappointed, for the old mother
gator kept right along after him in dead
earnest.
He made for vacant house near by, and
fortunately found the door unlocked, but
just as he banged the door shut he saw the
furious old mother just coming up the
steps with blazing eyes and open jaws. He
threw the last baby gator INTO the ex-
tended jaws OF its mother as he closed the
door. -San AntOn5o Herald.

one that illustrates the poems of a Dutch
writer named Joseph Cats. who lived in
the seventeenth century There are soldier
boys turning somersaults and playing
leap-frog and flying kites and blowing
bubbles, and whipping tops and laughing
over blindman's buff; girls with their stiff
headdresses and their queer aprons, nurs-
ing their dolls and rocking dolls cradles.
Under the pump it looks as If some
youngsters were matching pennies, and,
not to behindhand in The fun, two little
fellows in the background are standing on
their heads. You will find these and
great many other plays just like the ones
lived in Dutch city that is called Middel-
burg and frolicksd and laughed long ago,
so long that the world has changed ire
mendously since; but tops and kites aud
dolls stay with US and will keep staying.

Once upon a time pair of robins built
their nest on fence and pair of catbirds
american thrushes that are SO called be-
cause their cry is like the mewing of caD
in bush close by. Baby birds appeared
in each nest about the same time. and all
went we'll for few days, when one morn
ing the parent catbirds were both missing,
probably slain. Their young would have
starved but for the robins. Whenever the
robins lit on the rail with worm or other
food the catbirds set up hungry squeak,
and SO the kind birds of the redbreast de-
termined TO feed the stranger fedgelings
successfully reared, the catbirds being so
strong ana lively that they looked as if
they had been brought up by their own
parents.

The Unitod States senatorial situation is
daily becoming more complicated in New

Mr.. Sheehan or his nominee, while the
other faction termed the thinking Demo
crats'' insist that Mr.. Cleveland's wishes
should be consulted.
Mr.. Sheehan is intensely loyal to Mr..
Murphy who has placed the lieutenant
governor in the front rank OF politics dur

If MIR. Sheehan chooses, Murphy may

The Mouse Sold His Life Dearly.

A Saco cat chased half-grown mouse
out of the dining-room closet, caught it in
her mouth and began to play with it,
throwing it up and catching it again, as
cats will. One of these throws the cat
muffed, and the mouse made bee line for
first base, situated under the legs of table,
The cat made lively attempt to run the
mouse down, but the game finally ended in
an unexpected way. The cat had her
mouth open, the mouse ran, jumped, made
a mistake in aim, and went down the cats
throat. The cat made desperate attempt
TO eject the mouse, which was very small
one, but could not succeed. For three
hours she apparently suffered intense pain
and could not move, and it was decided to
chloroform her. BY night she had sue
ceeded in getting the mouse down, how
ever, and was playing about the house. ap-

the natural sanitary attractions of their

of intercepting sewers for which there
is no outlet. Fortunately our admirable
alienation of land and ea-breezes has
saved US from any serious annoyance
from this anomalous sewer system thus
