WITH the issue Of March 10, we
severed our financial relations with
the WESTERN KANSAS WORLD. The
motives which prompted this action
are Of no interest to the general
public. H. S. Givler assumes the
entire business management, and he
is so well known in this community
that an introduction is unnecessary.
We cannot refrain at this time from
thanking the business men Of Wa
Keeney for their liberal patronage
In the past. and our subscribers and
patrons generally for their generous
support. This is not an idle senti-
ment with us and we desire to en-
phasize it as strongly as we can. To
our correspondents, who have done
so much for us without even the
hope Of reward, we again return our
heartfelt thanks. An editor who
does his duty conseientiously will
make some political enemies. We
have never hesitated to express our
opinion of the Peoples party move
ment, and we wish to say that we
We're in earnest about it-meant
every word we said. The populists
of Trego county are as honest and
conscientious as are the members of
the Republican party, but we think
they are deluded and hope it will not
be long before they are all back
where they belong-in the ranks of
the grandest political party that has
ever had an existence.

AN editor way out ID Cove county
is candidate for state auditor. No
need to mention his name because
he will not be heard of again.
Stockton Record.
And why? Simply because he is
an editor. 1t seems queer that of
all men who help others to positions
of honor, trust and profit. the editor
is the least recognized. He may
work for years faithfully, and in his
humble way, for the advancement
Of his friends and neighbors. but
just as soon as he is presumptious
enough to ask for something for
himself, he is sat down upon uncer-
enormously. To the editor, more
than to any one else, are the men
who hold political positions indebt-
ed, and yet the editor is the last per-
son who is allowed to aspire beyond
his own humble sphere in life. 1t
is perhaps fortunate that they them
selves realize it, for it saves many
humiliating defeat in convention to
the humble pusher of the pencil,
and he will continue to help his
friends without the hope of reward.

THERE is talk Of holding a meet
ing somewhere in the Sixth con-
gressional district, of republicans
who are candidates, and those who
would like to be, in the next state
convention, to see if some means
can't be arrived at whereby the dis
trict may have only one candidate
for a place on the state ticket. If
such a convention is held it is be-
lieved it would be the largest at
tended meeting ever held in the dis
trict. This is not intended to mean
that everybody in that district is

THE Atchison Champion of Tues
day last had a column of political
notes from the Sixth district, writ
ten from Stockton, but by whom
we do not know. It mentions quite
number of persons from this dis
trict for offices of various kinds, but
the name of DR.. w. A. Leigh, who
some people think is candidate for
Secretary of State, is not among
them. For this office. the article
booms Capt. J. S. Mcdowell, of
Smith county, and saws that his
nomination is equivalent to an
election which is very unwise
statement, as it takes votes, not a
nomination, to elect man. 1t says
that ''some enterprising news gath
erer has figured out that the Sixth
district has an even dozen candidates
for congress, and as far as positively
known at this time the following
counties will have congressional
timber in the PhillipsDurg conven-
ton May %: Mitchell, Jewell, Os-
borne, Ellis, Phillips and Cheyenne.
The district is composed of twenty
two counties. 1t is too bad that
there can't be one from each county
but it is some time before the con-
vention, and between now and then
other counties may come forward
with open candidates" Then comes
the following paragraph, really the
only sensible suggestion in the whole
column: 'If the delegates act wise
ly, and don't get into any wrangle
over this and that candidate, the
Republicans can no doubt carry the
district. "-StocktOn News.

WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 22-Land Is

OF Harvey, Butler and Marion coun-
ties In this State. Great excitement
prevails among the people, and many Of

The Child in the Basket.

The vigilance of an old-time customs
official, It may be said, came, perhaps,
within an ace of changing the course Of
French history. One day a mother who
had been to a country house near Mar
settles returned with her son to Mar
settles. 1t was twilight. The child.
eight years old had been put in a peach
basket borne by a donkey, and the
mother, fearing the child might take
cold-it was in November-had covered
the boy with thick brown shawl.
Tired with running around the country
all day, cosy and warm under the thick
shawl, the child was soon asleep and
hidden by the sides Of the basket. When
the city gates were neared, the mother.
forgetting all about the child. walked a
distance behind the donkey and did not
make him stop at the Custom-House to
be searched. The customs officer. seeing
the donkey Jog on without stopping, sus-
pected that he was laden with struggled
goods and ran after him to thrust his
sharp steel probe through the basket.
Luckily the mother observed him, ran
forward and screamed: Don't use your
probe. My child is In the basket" The
child was Adolphe Theirs.
