"Kope Elias is a big man. Those
who are ~cTiticising him for being so
slow in making places for Democrats in
the collectors office, should take a
shower bath. You needn't all expect
an Office from the administration. Re.
form in national affairs always comes
slow. You will get relief in due time.
The editor of the H0cIer would apply
to Kope for a position, but we know
there isn't enough for every voter in
the Western District. Wen have re-
lief in '97, though, or break a trace.
It is stated that many people are
forced to leave Western Kansas, on
account of the prevailing drouth, and
seek homes elsewhere. Unless they
renounce the Populist party they
should not be allowed to settle in other
sections, The Prosperity HolUler is

Jim Dodson, a rabbid Populist, was
tried before the Mayor Of Bugletown
for whipping the editor of the HouIcr
last Saturday. Weguess the "refawm'
press will style this "tanother PopuIist
victory" Jim is about four times as
large q man as the editor, and there is
our excuse for getting a whipping. If
we do not take hydrophobia from
wounds, we will continue to publish
the only reliable paper in this section.
Dodson has been tried for horse steal
ing, forgery, false pretense and numer-
GUS other crimes. We expect to report
his last address on the gallows one Of
these pretty days.
