ACT AS YOUR OWN JUDGE.

If this state of Kansas is not on the
eve of a revulsion from dishonesty all
indications are misleading, Moore the
poet said that conscience, truth, and
honesty are made, to rise and fall, like
other wares of trade"
There is certainly now an upward
| turn in the market of Honesty Venal-
ity in public office is q thing that is al
ways despised by the people. 1t is not
| so much on account of the actual loss
suffered by the dishonesty of officials, as
! ii is the fact that the people have an
! antipathy to being represented by a
| man, who, when it comes 10 honesty,
represents them falsely. And he who
represents falsely represents not at ALL
There have long been unconfirmed
stories of corruption in official life. The
people have heard them. But the mass
and the aggregated intelligence of the
people is nothing. if not just. 1t coa-
victs no man finally without proof.
When proof is submitted and the evil
dence is against man the people are
merciless in their verdict. For their
safety they must lie so.
In Kansas this fall the campaign is
a fight between Honesty and Dishon-
esty. The people who are enraged at
the corruption of the Populist admins
| tration are not going TO act hastily.
Abuse or argument from either or all
sides will not change their Judgment in
the least. They will take the evidence
in hand and pass upon 1t. 1t is doubt
full if the Republicans would have won
the campaign on the mere charges
which they made. In the first part of
the campaign the Republicans told the
voters that the Populist state admins
tration was corrupt. They related sew
eral things in suhstantiation cf these
charges. This thing happens ia every
campaign and its effect on the voter can
not be said to have been much.
But Judge Allen, Populist ana a
high PopuliSt, comes Odt in private
letter and says that the Populist admin
is,ration Is corrupt and warns the Popu-
lists against renominating the old ticket
Ben Henderson, a high Populist, faces
the abuse of his fellows TO tell the people
that corruption Is rampant. and as a
Populist interested in the permanencv
OF that party, asks the voters to put
down Lewelling because he is corrupt
He. q Populi.t at the time and still

Before this time Mrs Lease mad said
that the Populist party in Kansas was

SEE DESERVED TO MARRY,

From the Buffalo Express
There was young man who had a
girl friend. He went to see her at
irregular intervals. He made his last
call one day last week. She had some
wedding cake from the nuptials OF a
friend of hers, and she was telling him
of new way she had discovered for
finding out whether you We're going to
get married within a year.
Il will take some of this cake she
said, land put it in this envelope and
] viii take seven slips of paper and
write on six of them the names of SIX
girls you know, any one of whom YOU
are likely to marry. Then 1 will put
the slips in the envelope with the we'd
ding cake and give the whole thing to
you. Now, you must take it and put it
under your pillow when you go home.
In the morning, the very first thing
after you open your eyes, you must
take out one slip. Do this for seven
mornings in succession, and on the last
slip will be the name of the girl you
are sure to marry. If the blank comes
last you will never marry"
The young man was quite impressed
with the scheme. He took the envelope
and promised faithfully to fulfill all
the conditions and to come back and
report at the end of seven DAYS. lie
went home and put the envelope under
his pillow. Next morning he drew out
the slip, and on it was the name of the
girl who had given the charm to him
He thought that that was pretty tough
luck, for he really liked the girl very
much. He was out rather late next
night, and when he awoke he was in
hurry and forgot all about the charm.
When he got home that night he began
the matter over and wonder
ing who the other girls were.
He got the envelope and peered into
1t. The slips were all carefully folded
and he could not see a name. Then his
got the upper hand. He took
out all the slips and unfolded them.
All of the remaining six had names on /
them and in each instance the name
was that of a girl who had prepared
the charm. He sat down and thought
long and earnestly. Then he put on
his evening clothes and went straight
up to that girls house. He stayed
ong time, and when he came away he
was smiling and happy, and there is
