THE RIGHT TO WEAR BREECHEs.

The right of women to "wear the
breaches" actually as well as metaphor
icallv, has recently been demonstrated,
if priority of invention give priority of
claim. ''By the patient archaeological
research carried on by one woman, saws
the Pail Mall Gazette, sit has been
proved, for the qualification of all women,
that the bifurcated neither garment sup
posed to be specially distinctive of the
masculine toilet rightly belongs to the
feminine dress. The women of Judah,
1t seems, were the first wearers Of the
garment in bifurcated form, and man,
perceiVing the convenience and comfort
of this article Of dress evolved by the
superior intelligence of woman, appro-
priated the same for his own use, and
doomed his womankind to cucumber
their limbs with flowing robes which
render it impossible to cope with man in
the useful occupations"
1t may be possible that the women of
Judah, with craft equal to their invent
i've genius, were, like the women of this
day and generation, satisfied that men
should monopolize the labors that may
be done unpetticoated, whilst they main
tain the prerogative of lovely patentees
whose prescriptive right never termi-
mates.

Kansas being known as a prairie state
with comparatively Indigenous timber,
few people suspect that some of the
largest and most valuable trees in the en-
tire country are found within our Dor
ders. A walnut was recently felled IN
Douglas county from which has been
cut stick sixteen feet long, eighty-four
inches-seven feet-in diameter, and
weighing 10000 pounds. Ia further
reference to this piece of timber the
Lawrence World says: According to
the rules used in measuring lumber in
logs and which are being tested, there is
10000 feet Of lumber in it. This will be
one of the most noticeable exhibits at
the worlds fair, and what is more to the
point, the managers can sell it when
through exhibiting for as much if not
more than is being paid for it at this
time"

for the Democratic votes IN the Peoples

the Republicans in Kansas who voted
for the candidates of their party in 1892,
are Republicans who are there TO stay.
Jerry Simpson is sharp enough to know
that he is indebted 70 the Democrats for

Gratis and the Populsts will only end in
the final overthrow of both factions.

As means of facilitating the passage
of the Cherokee strip bill the policy of
writing personal letters to representa-
tiyes and senators urging such action
was suggested and acted upon by very
many persons. Since the passage of
the bill through the house, containing as
it does restrictions upon the privileges of
entry and possession OF the lands to be
opened TO those who have not heretofore
secured lands from the government and
are not possessed of realty of the value
of $4,000, many who are barred by the
inhibitions have adopted the letterwrit-
ing scheme to defeat the bill in the sem
ate or In conference. On this point the
Arkansas City Traveller says:
If the Cherokee strip bill is defeated this
session it will be because of the kickers
who are firing letters to all of the mem
bers of congress that they know. And the
kicking is largely from those who have
received the benefits of the homestead
law. Down in Oklahoma, professional
claim jumpers are also opposed 10 the
same provision of the bill.

There was a small run IN the Steelton
bank Saturday evening, but every check
was promptly cashed, and the demand Of
