CONSISTENCY is an unknown Jewel
in the republican diadem. The fellows
who were the loudest in crying out
against the alliance going into secret
politics" are now the most active in
urging the cause of the a. 2. A, an
association so un-American. fanatical,
and uncalled for that even the most
disreputable of its members do not
want the public to know of their cou-
nectiOn with the gang. For shame,
men. Why not be honest, square and
open with your neighbors? Why not
be good enough American citizens to
keep religion out of politics, where it
has no rightful place, and where, if your
course is pursued, it will cause conten-
ton and eventually blooished, and do
more to incite a breaking over the laws
boundaries and bringing odium upon
the American principle of freedom of
thought and speech we as a people so
dearly prize. Go slow, men; or you
may bring an avalanche of destruction
upon your heads that you do not today
dream of. Doubtless many republicans
feel sore over the recent overwhelming
rebuke given their party policy through
the ballot box; but that should not
anger them so much as to cause them
to forget that freedom of thought,
speech, and religious belief are the
priced possessions of our loyal citizens.

May Weather According to Hicks.

NAY UCoA1I4 AlNO<o4-st, ~ A-NASa
The month opens at the end of
April's closing storm period, with
storm disturbances disappearing in
extreme eastern parts of the country,
and cooler weather prevailing in GEN.
trail and western sections. An equinox
of Mercury is central on the Srd, and
will cause cloudiuess and tendency to
continued driZZle. In the extreme
north sleet need not prove a surprise.
By the 4th decided change to warmer
will develop in the west, and during
the 9Th to eth. reaetionary storms will
pass over the country, being central
about the time of the new moon on the
9Th. a sharp change to cooler will
follow the disturbances at this time,
with strong probabilities of frost along
the northern side of the country from
about It'll to 10th.
From 10th to 18th is the next regular
period of change and storm. A very
warm wave is apt to appear by the
18th, in western regions, and during
of much energy and wide scope will
averse the country from west to
east. Another very cool wave for the
season will come in behind the storms
causing several days of much cooler
weather in the country generally.
Heavy rains may reasonably be eX-
pected during the last named disturb
ances-namely, about the 18th, 18th,
and 18th, during which time a series
of daily storms, recurring near the
same time of day. or night, for several
days need not be unlocked for. Watch
barometers, temperature and direction
of wind; if barometer fails to rise after
one storm passes with wind still in
east and south, expect another storm
from the west, and so on until con-
dilions change.
The cool weather following the
storms of the last period will give place
to warmer, and secondary storms will
appear in many places about the 18th
and 18th, Immediately after which,
the barometer will will rise rapidly to
a very high reading, attended by a
sharp change to cooler.
From 21st to 10Th. falls the next
storm period, during which time it will
grow very warm, and many storms OF
rain, thunder and wind will appear
In all these disturbances, the intelli-
gent use of the barometer, and correct
observation of WI currents, will
foreshadow with muu.. certainty the
coming and the intensity If storms
About the 9th and 18th, will be cen
trail the last disturbances for May
bringing fair and cooler days and
nights for the closing month.
In the nature of things, May must
bring more or less violence, in a mete-
geological way. but there is a marked
absence of disturbing causes, so far as
other planets are concerned. There
are reasons to believe that storms viii
not be unusually frequent and heavy
but it will be the part of prudence
to watch them all, and be prepared
to take refuge from all that may carry
in their cloudy folds the desolators
of towns and hearts and homes.-Word

NOTWITHSTANDING all that may be
said against Kansas by people who
live several hundreds of miles away.
she always comes up smiling at the
end of the year and is never afraid
to compare results with any other
state in the Union. While Kansas.
in common with all other states in
the Union, has suffered from the
general depression in values, both on
the farm and in commercial circles,
and while on the whole the last season
was not so fruitful as some that have
preceded it, yet when it comes to
the wind up of the Year, Kansas never
needed TO be ashamed~Des MOines,

DANIEL c. ZERCHER has unearthed
one of the lowest and meanest steals
that could be perpetrated on public
in the illegal collection of fees in the
office of the secretary of state. This
work runs from 1871 when W. H.
Smallwood held the office until W. H.
Higgins stepped down and out, and
during the entire time the office
was in the hands of Republicans. The
legal fee of charter is 81, and Mr..
Zercher, from the records on file in the
office, shows that churches, lodges and
charitable institutions have been COM
PEELED to pay from $3.50 to $3.50. 1t
seems that the fellows had it in for the
Methodist brethren in particular, not
withstanding that organization has
always been faithful 10 the cause of
Republicanism. If the statement isn't
true the leaders of the G. o. p. should
get a move on and correct it. If it IL
true the Republicans should shut up
about corruption in office.-Burlingto

In The Realm of music.

At band meeting recently the fol-

Shapes came out of the sounds, and
these shapes were words:
You are only a quadruped, re-

the cornet.
"Well, it isn't the brazen thing you

of its kind.
THAT beats me- ratified the drum,
as it joined in the fray.
Two heads are better than one, if
both are sheepsheads," twanged the
guitar.
Go string yourself" beloved the
bass drum.
Suppose you soak your head" sug-
gested the accordion, coming to the
rescue of the guitar.
"Rats!" screamed the trombone
you are full of wind"
Here. it's time for you to slide out, ,
squeaked the. violin, reaching for the
trombone.
Hold up" thrummed the harp.
You think you are very smart because
you have bow, don't you?''
My opinion of you." rasped the VIC
lin, turning fiercely on the harp, lis
that you are only sort of Tyre, any

burst such wild discordance arose as
has never been known in musical

Thomas Jefferson the rallying cry was:
Equal rights to all and special privi-

remember that such rallying cry will
be as potent today as it was in the days
of Jefferson, and be not discouraged at
the present outlook or the past un-

where is the man who said Kansas
had gone up the spout? Clatiin Leader.
Don't know, Bro. Cook. He was
around all over the state few short
months ago. He edited most of the
Kansas republican newspapers, and
was the correspondent for eastern
dailies. He sent his wall of woe all
over the land, and all because his
party had been so completely knocked
out that he thought the state, ruined
completely. He is liable to bob up
again after the elections this fall.

CAPTAIN J. G.. JOHNSON, of Peabody
has been spoken of as good man for
she democrats to nominate for Cover

there is not a man in Kansas who
would fill the gubernatorial chair with
more honor and credit to the state than
J. G. johnson. He is not of the shoe
string" district, but a purely western
Kansas man; and it does seem about
time that the interests and wishes of
the voters of the west half of the state
should be considered.
