DoEsN'r it sound funny, after read
ing one'of Joe Hudson's editorials
on the remarkable prosperity OF
Kansas, to hear a Republican candi-
date for Office begging support on
the grounds of his poverty and the
fact that he can't get any employ
mens. The Courier, Burlington.
Yes, we see and hear lots of funny
things as we go along. For in
stance, one day last week, we heard
two of those "stand.up-tor-Kansas"
men in little private conversation.
They were talking about the pres
ent condition of affairs-about how
hard times are-how nearly impos-
sible it is to collect dollar-hOw
scarce money is, etc., etc. They
seemed disposed to complain against
Kansas. One said, ~ tell you, this
is an awful poor country" The
other replied, eyes! l just tell
you, l wish l was foot-loose-Pd
leave" Remember, these are Re-
publican business men of Garrett
men who, in public, have been
known to get very "hufy" when
some Calamity bowler" would talk
about hard times. Yes, some very
funny things are happening nova
days, in unexpected times and
places. As Johnny said, "What
quare things we do see when we
amt got no gun !"

JUDGE GRESHAM never uttered truer
words than when he said to World
reporter on June &c: ''The most in
sidious of all forms of tyranny is
that of plutocracy. Thoughtful men
see and admit that our country is
becoming less democratic and more
and more plutocratic. The ambition
and selflove of some men are SO
great that they are incapable of low
ing their country" He also showed
the foresight of true statesman,
who sees beyond the battle for
spoils, when he added, 81 belieye
the principles of the third party will
take hold of the masses, and it will
be the party of the future. New

Four big iron and steel manufac-
turing concerns at Wheeling, w. Va,
have combined-formed a trust.
Two years ago, Foghorn Funston,
in his campaign speeches, told us
that the Republican congress had
enacted an antitrust law that would
destroy all existing trusts and CON-
bines, and would prevent the forma-
ton of new ones. Did Funston lie
about the enactment of such law ?
If not, why isn't it enforced?

A Missouri member of congress
says that if the correspondents were
to publish some scenes in congress,
it would cause a reign of terror.
Tom Watson knew what he was
writing about when he wrote the
book which created such rumpus
in congress, and he wrote the truth.
When he said members were drunk
while on the floor Of the house, he
told the truth, and his statements
have been substantiated. The fell

of the threats have been carried into

The Paola Times very truthfully
remarks that whisky has been stored
in the government postoffice build
ing IN Kansas City. Certainly but
if some old "hayseeder" had driven
up there with load of wheat or
corn, and asked to have it stored in
that same building, he would have
been called a blankety-blank fool,
and ordered, by some big red-nosed
policeman, to move on; or. maybe
he'd have been arrested, hauled up
before a magistrate and fined for
obstructing the highway.
