took out his scissors and razor and dill
gently went through the motions of
trimming the hair and beard. Then he
applied more bay rum and powder and
fused about until one of the other

A phenomenal Commonwealth.

For generation Kansas has been the testing ground for every experiment in morals, politics and social life. Doubt of all existing institutions has been re- spectable. Nothing has been venerable or revered merely because it exists or has endured. Prohibition, female suffrage, fiat money, free silver, every incoherent and fantastic dream of social improve ment and reform. every economic delu- sion that has bewildered the foggy brains of fanatics, every political fallacy nur- tured by misfortune, poverty and fail ure, rejected elsewhere, has here found tolerance and advocacy. The enthusi- asm of youth, the conservatism of age, have alike yielded to the contagion, mak- ing the history of the statt melodra- matic series of cataclysms, in which trag- edy and comedy have contended for the mastery, and the convulsions of nature have been emulated by the catastrophes of society.
 There has been neither peace, tran quillity nor repose. The farmer can never foretell his harvest, nor the merchant his gains, nor the politician his suprem- acy. Something startling has always happened or has been constantly antici- pated. The idol of today is execrated tomorrow. Seasons of phenomenal drought, when the sky was brass and the earth iron, have been followed by periods of indescribable fecundity, in which the husbandman has been embarrassed by abundance, whose value has been dimin- ished by its excess. .-J.
