portunities of an aged lover, who was
distasteful to her. though favored by
her parents because Of his financial
ability

CAN COME WITH A RECORD.

From the Abilene Reflector.
1t is semi-officially given out that Marshall
NJ. Murdoch, the veteran editor of the Wichita
EAGLE, will be a candidate for the nomination
for governor on the Republican ticket. Mr..
Murdoch has fought the battles of Kansas for
nearly a third of a century in a manner which
has done the state much good and won for
himself much praise; he has all the time been
true to the Republican party and given it his
hearty support; he has built up magnificent
newspaper, the EAGLE, which is without a
superior in Kansas, and he can come before
the convention with record that can COM
mand consideration. There is no better pOlit-
zeal maxim for party or state than to reward
its friends, and the Republican party and
Kansas can both number among their
staunchest supporters NJ. VI. Murdoch.

Verdi, the famous Italian composer,
recently wrote the following letter to an
Italian journalist: II have, my dear
sir, nothing to write worthy OF publica-
ton in the Genova-Iberia. However, as
you have spoken of agriculture, in
which l am only an amateur. l should
like to express the wish that more at
tention be paid to it in Italy. What a
source of wealth that would be for us!
Fewer musicians, fewer lawyers, fewer
doctors and more farmers-that is what
| wish for any country.

reason urged why Colonel Marsh VI. Murdoch

good. The late Colonel John \. Martin for
over twenty-five years. through the Champion,
left no stone Enturned 10 help Kansas, and
was elected governor for two terms. A. F.

Possible, but Not Probable.

fTOln INC NtirIugHeIu DEMOCRAT,
it is popular in certain quarters to be-
little conflict with Chilli because that
republic has only three million popula-
ton, while the United States has sixty
three million. But suppose the first
shock of war would fire the military
magazine of the world: 1t is not at all
improbable that the first call for one
hundred thousand men upon a declara-
ton of war with the South American
republic would be but the preliminary of
a call into service of the bearing
strength of our country. Ii is such a
probable contingency that causes. in GER
tain quarters, hesitation that cannot be
attributed altogether to a lack OF pa
triOtlSm.

All the most eminent scientific scholars
and experienced practitioners in the
medical profession III all the countries of
the world are trying to discover, says
the New York Sun, some means of deal
ing with the influenza. Great will be
the glory of that one of them who shall
be successful, if such one shall ever
be heard of. 1t may be that some
curative drug will be found; it may be
that some other means of prevention or
cure will be discovered. We are in
hope that some American physician of
scientific genius will yet receive the
blessings of the ages for telling mankind
how to get rid of the destroying in
fuenza.

The Hill clacquers in the Pennsylvania
Democratic convention few days ago
undertook to run the convention for their
champion, and when they failed, de-
cided majority of the body being for
Cleveland, the clacquers attempted to
lead stampede by boiling the conven-
ton. That was but the outcropping of
the genuine Democratic spirit of rule
or ruin" Such evidences of harmony in
that party is gratifying not little to
Republicans.

ACTIVE ASSISTANCE FROM ALL
SECTIo MS.

From the Wellington Press
If dispatch from Wichita TO the evening
paper of Saturday is reliable, Hon. NJ. VI.
Murdoch, of that city, has consented to the
use of his name as candidate for governor.
The fight over this important Office may be re-
garded as on in earnest. Mr.. Murdoch and
his work for the southwest are well known he
having for years published the leading and
most successful daily paper in the state. He
will undoubtedly have numerous and enthu-
siastic following in the southwest, which viii
be supplemented by active assistance from all
sections of Kansas

Oklahoma doesn't stop for anything.
1t has the elements of progressiveness in
an enlarged form. There is no better
proof of this than the spectacle of the
whoop and hurrah with which that
Cheyenne and Arapahoe appropriation
was put through congress. The Demo
cratic house is unusually close with its
cash and this Oklahoma appropriation is
the first to break down the barrier.

II HE HAD MORE POLICY.

From the Wellington (Democraiic) Standard.
\ telegram in metropolitan daily informs
US that Marsh Murdoch has announced him
self as candidate for governor. His services
TO the Republican party have been very great
and should give him much prestige in his fight
for the nomination. If he had more policy
about him he would stand better show in the
hustle. however. 1t goes without saying that
he will have shouting support from Wichita.
It's little too early to prephesy, but it does
look as if politics will be right warm come
next fall

They III Went Down

From the Kansas City Star.
There appears to be a slight difference
of opinion between the able and esteemed
morning papers. The Times declares
that 'lf the Kansas City delegation falls
they will fall like soldiers. high up on
the ramparts." The Journal is of the
opinion that IF her warriors fail in OBJ
tanning the next national Democratic
convention they will all die in the
trenches. Can't this thing be compro-
missed: Can't Bullene and Irwin fall on
the rampaI1s aud Latshaw and Warder
die in the trenches: If the soldiers must
fall let them distribute themselves sort
of promiscuous like.
