Mgr. SatoIli, the apostolic delegate, has
just rendered a decision condemning the
liquor traffic. He approves Of the expui-
sion of liquor dealers from Catholic societies

Bishop was acting within. his rights in

The Banker and the Clown.

After much advertising of special
rates on all railroads and all that,
Morrill,, the banker, and Kelly, the
clown, came to Wellington last week
and spoke in a secondhand circus tent
on North Washington avenue to about
500 people.
Morrill, has face that is "childlike
and bland" with a fringe of whiskerS
around the bottom.
He talks like money loaner with
his month full of hot mush.
He confines himself to pensions, and
sweet nOthings for the old soldiers.
He neglectS to mention those &. A.
r. post resolutions in which he was
condemned throughout Kansas.
Neither does he explain his home.

silver record in congress.
His speech was very thin sluSh with.
out redeeming featuIe.
But Kelly, the double-action dema.
gOgue and two for a penny clown ap
pealed very strongly to his hearers
He made them laugh long and loud
1.-THE loud laugh that speaks the va
cant mind.n
Republicans don't want people t
think.
They use laughing gas for Their
operations, and the victims only smile
and smile and take their medicine.
If it were not for Kelley with hi
aughing gas to aid Morrill,, the hear
ers might feel it hurt when Morrill, i!
pulling their eye teeth-after they
come from under the influence they
have forgotten what be said.
They feel so good.
Kelley is cheap demagogue, whC
addresses the old soldiers as "uS old
boys" and paints blood curdling battle
scenes on the fabric of imagination
appealing to the passions that SHOULD
have died years ago.

THE COUNTY PRINTING FRAUD.
The county printing was recently
let to the Caldwell News for full
legal rates. Road notices and other
publications other han the delinquent
tax list were to 60 at so per cent.
AT the same time the VOICE offered
to do the work for so per cent of legal
rates. The Caldwell News is published
away down on the border and has
only local circulation. Few people
north of Caldwell ever see il. The
VOICE has large general circulation
over the entire county. The differ
ence in cost to the tax payers Of the
county for the five months for which
it was let will amount to quite 81, GOO.
Bills allowed by the board last week
amount to Sll23. Had this work been
let to the lowest bidder as it was
done through the influence OF Com
missioner Heskett, (POpulist) in 1891,
a saving of S56l.5O would have been
made this bill alone. In these close
timeshave the taxpayers money to
throw away in this manner?
Now these matters are before the
people.
If they have money to throw away
and feel like doing it, they should
vote to continue republican admins
tratiOn.
If they want to continue to endorse
defalcatiOns, salary grabbing and all
sorts of extravaganza, in the conduct
of their affairs, let them do so and
they may rest assured that they will
continue to reap it.
If they feel financially oppressed
and want honesty, economy and good
business tact and judgment used in
the administration of their affairs.
they should stand by the men who
are by the record clearly promoting
that.

DONATIONS TO THE RAILROADS.
