| notice some writer on the Kan
sas City Times has been landing r.
q. Mil's craftsmanship to the
skies. The writer says his history
and public life is one Of ."unswerV-
ing devotion to the interests of the
whole country, etc" The writer
could have gotten nearer the truth
if he had substituted the word de-
struGtiVeness for "devOtiOn," in the
above quotation. To describe his
faults, it would require much more
space than dedicated to his praise.
The author. of that article either
did not know his subject, or was
handsomely recOmpensed for his
Utterances. Thousands in this state
properly estimate his "devOtiOn"
and ability below par, and his
craftsmanship at still greater less
per cent. Now, many realize that
if they refuse to allow him and
many of his ilk TO represent their
state and county interests, they will
have more and better interests, as
one instance in a thousand in our
state. Such craftsmanship as his
and others is no better, is the
cause of Austin's much "bOasted"
of million dollar dam, standing
merely as a monument OF Especial
taxes" for "revenue only" and not
one factory or industry Of any de-
scriptiOn standing at or near it to
utilize one barrel of water of its
enormous water power, for which
it was intended.
Mr.. Mills and his campaign lee
tur buffers have sized up their con-
stituents as fools, and they are cor
rect to great extent, or he would
not be where he is today.

TEXAS and hell used to be regarded as
synonymous terms, but revision is nov
necessary. Kansas has taken from the
Lone Star State any and every claim she
may have had to be clsssed with the
place that Bob Ingersoll says there is no
such, and has about demonstrated that
she is literally. and unequivocally hell
itself. A dispatch says war has broken
out in the Legislature. The republicans
attempted to arrest the clerk OF the
populist House and a general street fight
ensued, in which the clerk escaped. The
republicans called for volunteers to help
make the arrest and $50 assistant ser
geants-at arms were sworn in. The pop
ulists also swore imam extra force, the
governor called out the militia and can
mons were trained on the capitol. The
republicans are now in state OF seige,
without food and h. i. t. p. generally.
