Illustr1ous Voter succumb.

There is in existence in Wa-Keeney, a
society that bears the above cognomen,
and, be it said, the illustrious voter
succumbs. Some two-thirds of dozen
ladies have organized and equipped for
the winter campaign and meet to carry
out their feminine chivalry and lay their
plans to hold in subsection the eight IL
lustrious voters. No one knows where,
and no one knows why, all is shrouded
in black mystery. But while the eight
feminine heads of families are quietly
laying their schemes for subsection and
hilarity, the poor voter is quietly sitting
at home rocking the cradle that may
contain the material for future presi-
dent, or walking the floor with unuttered
curses on his lips, while the kid makes
Rome howl with it's cries for ma, ma,
who is quietly discussing the best meth
DDS her society can adopt to put in
operation the title of the society. Oh!
We Gods look down upon these eight hap
py matrons in lodge assembled with no
male man within sight or hearing. Look
down on these eight afflicted husbands
walking the floor with squalling baby
in each arm or quietly slumbering the
slumber of the righteous, with kid on
either side and one across the foot of the
bed, and no female woman within sight
or hearing. These eight matrons are as
happy and light hearted as fairies; these
eight MOBILES of the land are sad and
heavy of heart. Oh! We brothers in adj
joining towns let no feline society or
ganize in your midst. Look upon the
sorrying faces of the butcher, the law
yer, the merchant, the doctor, the coal
man, the chief clerk, the treasurer, the
retired ranchman as they 90 meekly
about their daily avocations chawing
their jaw with humiliation, and you will
arise in your might and say it shall not
was. Brethren throw to us crumbs of
comfort, come in and help us bust up
the Elaborated society and give us
home as it used to was; kill the goat
that carries them safely through the mi.
tiation; help us care for the bowling
bloom of youth. Give us your words of
comfort and we will rise up and call you
blessed.

The tramp will not work.

The tramp will not work. He gets
a living without it. He gets his food,
his clothing, his lodging and means to
expend in whisky or vice without labor.
The average tramp has a greater income
than the average farm hand. His beg
ging and his stealing far exceed the
wages of the ordinary day laborer. He
earns more by tramping than the labor
er by working. A careful census of the
country shows there are about 10000 of
them. The Toledo Blade has this to say
on the tramp question:
"The result of his order will be to
draw the legions of these Grant knights
of idleness toward Kansas. The next
thing will be a vigorous protest from the
badgered and bothered citizens. Gov
ernor Lewelling will find that his theory
is but maudlin sentimentalism, and be
compelled, by the force of popular opin-
ion, to revoke his order."-K. G. Ran-

The resolutions passed by the Gold
en- Belt Teachers Association in which
they express the hope that the next
legislature will pass law prohibiting
the granting of more than two second
grade certificates have evoked much dis
cussion among the teachers and others
interested in the success of our schools.
We expressed our sentiments upon this
proposition some time since and the
only objection we could urge to the
resolution would be by way of amend
ment. We would favor striking out the
word 1.-TWO" and inserting tone"
However we find no serious fault with
the teachers for being conservative as
reforms necessarily come slowly. A
teacher SO much lacking in energy or
who is SO careless and Indifferent that
he cannot or viii not advance enough
TO merit second grade certificate after
two years of teaching certainly should
be retired from the profession,
