Some one suggested that We have
an Abraham Lincoln party two years
hence (Which the EldOradO Republi-
can very gracefully yie,ds the corn;

won't have much Of any to speak of. :"
Senator W. NJ. Stewart, of Nevada,
who up to the last campaign had
been lifelong Republican, tod a
New York newspaper reporter the
other day that the POpulists had
come to stay and that they would
sure elect the president in 1896.
A peculiar disease known as ''fod-
Ger fever" is prevailing among the.
cattle Of Jackson county. 1t is also
raging with great violence among the
POpulistS all over the state.-Bur-3

There are more country papers in
Kansas than any other state in the
union, and Kansas is the best known
state in the union. Her people are
the best read and most progressive
Of any state in the uniOn.-COnWay

South Carolina has adopted the
state agency system for handling liz
uOrs to take effect April l. The law
provides for a state dispensary and
county dispensaries, conveniently To-
Gated. They will be managed by Off
GERS, appointed by the state, who can
only sell liquors approved by the state
chemists. These liquors must be
sold in sealed packages, and can not
be opened in the dispensary.
Judge Alden, Of WyandOtte, has
held that the Indians have no title
80 the Strip whatever, except to use
it as an outlet. The point came up in
tie suit of the CherOkeeS against the
cattlemen to enforce the collection of
pasture rents. 1t takes the United
States long time and a vast sum of
money to take possession of its own
prOperty-but it makes whole lot of
fat jobs for lie Statesmen"
rfns VOICE has been reminded by a
number of its readers that the con-
tinued story, "ThOrns and Roses,"I
the closing chapter of which was pub
ishedl last week, was an extraordinary
story ard literary production of a
high order. Some say 1t excelled
many fthe stories published in high
priced reviews, such as the Arena,
Cosmopolitan and Century. We are
glad that it pleased our readers so
weliGnd.row take pleasure In saying
that another story, said to be equally
us good, will soon be commenced.
These long winter evenings are an in
centive to much reading and these
continued stories add zest to the ex-
crciSe and enthusiasm to the flreside.
The weakly Squeak, in labOrious
editorial last week again tries to con-
vince itself that the Peoples party is
sure to go to pieces, and gives figures
seemingly satisfactory to itself that
the Republicans could lick the Popu-
lists if the Democrats would only
keep hands off. If it really wants
figures to blank on" it should place
the Republican vote in the state at
the next election at just about half
what it was in the last and then add
one-third or a half more to the POpu-
list vote. Then it would have a
sound basis to figure on. Otherwise
it will be worse fooled than in the last
contest.
There is an American end to the
Panama scandal. Two million, five
hundred thousand dollars was sent to
this country and no explanation has
been given of what use was necessary
or was made of this vast sum. The
bribery and corruption practiced
in the United States was Just as
fragrant, although less in extent and
in the amount Of money used. The
French spectators obtained their
