LETTER FROM TOPEKA.
HOUSE OF Observation-Disclosures,
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 7, '93. (

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. Z, 20. J
To the Editor OF the Eagle:
I have been quietly studying you
nature Tor the past year and have con
cluded that YOU are about the only trul,
Independent politician there is in thu
state of Kansas, excepting myself, and
have concluded not to be too independ
ent myself, over my own signatur
during the past year. don't want tc
have 10 inquire, "Where am l at?
neither do l wish your reader
to inquire of you, "Wh'
am l. anyhow" To personal,
an imperial car, right in the citadel
where the dual house was concocted
where know what a hate the loya
people of America have for crowned
heads and bald-headed politicians.
have been a quiet locker on at the
senate chamber and also at the "double
| ring circus" in our state house of mis-
representatives Of Kansas for over two
weeks past, during which time | have
| tried several schemes TO get chance to
"play the clown" III the center of the
aisle of the great amphithea.er between
the assembled metadors, between the
railroad barons and representative bulls
! of Wall street, into whom the metadors
of the north side of the central aisle are
hurting their poisoned javaIins until
they below with rage. On the other
side their poisoned javalins miss those
enraged bulls and strike into, perhaps,
h. Geto Il 81,
trump house, while the more enraged
metadors on the south side hurl them
back with increased vigor, endangering
the political status of every one who
ventures into the arena between
the two. No trained metadors
have even ventured into the arena ex-
cepting the inimitable Joe ROsenthal-
1.-The member from Jerusalem" as he is
called. He executed a grand coup de
main by casting his COnciliatIng white
flag OF truce for both Judge Martin and
State Printer Snow, after the red flags
of Anarchy. IN the faces of these two
trained political bulls of Buchan. And
as you said: by this strategic move
ment these two political bulls were led
off in triumph, leaving only the tail
and the horns for the metadors
on the south side of the arena.
But no really strategic movement has.
Had you been here to help me, we
could have had something to do with
the time and manner of bringing in
these trained bulls. With the speakers
desks between, | could have been recog-
nized as a trained metador, notwith-
standing [ was not elected to that
position this year. Alone, almost, l
have tried the street cry of a Caesar; l
have tried to gain the rostrum for a
speech to the dual house from zone of
the C-Zars," and came in one OF gaining
it, but finally had to deliver it by cir
cular route" lone of which | send
YOU; | have tried sarcasm" |
have tried fasting and prayer,
inviting all ministers to help me in this;
[ have invited singing Evangelists to the
hall, to ''soothe the savage beasts" The
ministers failed to materialize and their
congregations to join with me-except-
ing three and several ladies, the chair
man of which did not care to have his
name published, neither did the ''czar"
in this city.
You know who 1 am now, but don't
give me away. Day after tomorrow the

Booth Of the Salvation Army, and
l will come home; and as the "break in
the house" has failed to be spliced by
me, I will not expect to be met at the
depot by the Wichita band playing

nighttime; l will carry my own "grip,"
which do not want to lose. I will seek
the seclusion of my room and retire to
the quiet haunt5 OF poverty, poetry, pro-
baton and, possibly, purgatory; ripped
up both back and front by the unpaid
board bills of the members who
have been driven into the noisome
garrets, like nails in the bannisters,
down which slide in order to avoid the
unpaid bills. l am a representative

YOU and l and most all other Wichita
men appear to have been forgotten.
