MOLLIE AND HER METAL

Mollie Lease now being an oficehold7r
with asalary, and mileage attachment
of the more importance, by the grace of
| Wlchlta's Iowa governor, is extending
| her travels and widening her field of
operations. She hauled up in Washing
ton City this week where she will have
a chance to air herself for the deIecta-
ton Of other statesmen. After Cleve-
lands JefersonIan simplicity Inaugural
ton ceremonies are over she will return
to Kansas and arrange for a more
far reaching petticoat government-for a
petticoat government of the state no less
than of the home. She has already
worked in one speech in the way of an
address before the Bimetallic league of
Washington. When it comes to the sub
Ject of metal" she talks as one of pos
session and having authority. In yellow
CLEANS of brass it stands out in
great relief in both her face and man
ners. Among other things she said that
the people Of the west demanded free
trade, free silver and free citizens, and
if there is anything else good in sight
they are in favor Of that also. They
realized that God was the first 10 be-
stow free trade, and they held that con-
gress had no right to restrict it. They
demanded competition in the open mar
kets of the world, the expense of the
government to be maintained from an
income tax. The people of the west
stand fair chance of being satisfied
within the next four years. The Demo
cratic party viii control every branch of
the federal government under pledge
to reorganize the tariff on free trade
basis. When this reorganization has been
made the income tax will soon follow.

THE BILL FAILED.

Jerry Simpson voted against the anti
option bill. The gamblers in wind
wheat and watered stocks had no trouble
in taking care of all such imported
statesmen as Jerry, and the bill which
was drafted wholly in the interest of the
producer failed for the want of a very
few votes. Had that bill become a law
wheat would have gone up to one dollar
per bushel in the very near future. But
Jerry will come back to the Seventh
district, mount the stump, howl Grail

will see in him only Daniel come to
