KANSAS.
= Governor Morrill, has taken his place
as governor Of Kansas. All the power
Of the state, except the senate, is in the
hands of republicans. A clean sweep
sf pspulist appointive officers will soon
be made.
Republicans have charged the pop
ulists with destroying the credit of the
state, and As being the authors of all
their misfortunes.
The truth is, that when the populists
came into power they found the state
nearly bankrupt, and when they told
the truth about the matter they were
called ocalamity howlers."
1t was time for somebody to howl.
Foreign capital began to get scared,
and gradually left the state, depressing
the prices Of all kinds Of property.
This was bad, but it was . result of
sver.spscuiatisn by this same foreign
capital.
Thousands of nen who had pre-
smptsd \ qaartsr-ssction, easily worth
two thousand dollars, borrowed one
thousand dollars to make improve
msnts. After spending this money,
together with four or five years Of hard
work, they saw their farms dwindle
in price until they would moi sell for
the mortgage. All these farms are
now in the hands Of the mortgage
conpanies-some of the large, CON-
paniss almost owning some of the
weatsrn counties. If the republicans
had been the hired men of tho mort
gage companies, they could not have
worked the schsme of robbery
successfully.
Oklahsma and the Cherokee Strip
are populated with Kansans who have
been robbed eftheif honest possessions.
New, the republicans are in power
again, and will probably remain in
power for many years. A majority of
the voters Of that state are opposed to
republican methods; but there is so
much petty spite 'sud jealousy among
the leaders Of the opposition, each
wanting IN Office and high hsnor, that
it has tssn found impossible to solidify
the opposing elements, and hold them
together. It Is doubtful II a serious
eifsrt will be made. IL. the next five
years, 10 overthrow the republicans.
Prohibition Is . power, but this
individual prshibitiopist. Is = partisan,
and votes for his party first, and talks

The Populists haveiust come through
the worst campaign sssr made In the
state. and are laid up for repairs.
Democracy has never seeu the day
whsp ic could make a SUCCESSFUL fight

again. That night he was awakened
between ten aud eleven by q native,
who told him that the herd Of ele-'
plants had returned and were tearing
up the plantations OF the outskirts of
the town. The message had been re-
eeiEed by dFum-peats from one town to
another. He started N and arrived
there before the elephants departed.
The message had been repeated just
four times In the twelve miles It had
come,
1t Is puzzling to form o theory as to
how these natives accomplish the re.
suits which they do. II they had an
alphabet, or the knowledge of one, you
could find an explanation there. But,
as q matter of fact, they are utterly
devoid Of the knowledge of an
alphabet. The only explanation which
I can make OF the matter is that they
have U phonetic formula of some kind,
They have certain drum-beats aud
combinations to represent certain
phonetics and perhaps syllables. 1t is
certainly not alphabetical, as ourtele-
graph system is. A language has from
forty to fifty phonetic elements. SO
with combinations Of beats to repre-
sent these and other notifications ma
fires are able to communicate. The
ioudness or softnsss If ths beats

teryals. There was very little differ
epcs ip the intervals, scarcely enough
10 make me think that they alone iadi-
gated the various %phonetics. OF course,
The intervals had something to do with
it, but the laHdness of the beat seemed
To carry more Importance. However
IL Is done. il Is indeed wonderful to

OFFERINGS OF THE POETS.
bondage.

DOmOUkes
Emancipation from earth's bonds is death;
Why say we they have persisted who are
free?
The preacher ever saith,
Our days OF mortal breath.
We waste in bondage harsh to vanity.
The God-bestowed desired for good and
gain,
Diverted to one channel-lust for gold;
Calloused the heart to pain,
Needless of tears that rain.
Clutching the pittance for which PHYS sold.
What chains it FORCES IL its baleful flame.
Forcing loves links apart.
Slipping the gall whose smart
Leaves the scared senses nevermore the
same.
The rivulet that babbles like child,
Or, sportive, leaps and circles like young
foal,-
Joining the river wild,
Mid rapids with rocks piled,
Dashes like maddened steed beyond control.
So, from the choice of delicate and
chaste,
Some pass to that which stimulates and
fires,
Until distorted taste
Wageth a war whose waste
Is but accomplished when the life expires.
Who serveth fashions varying caprice,
Hearing, must needs obey each stern COM
mand;
He only has surcease
From bondage, who finds peace
In loves behest as flowers to sun expand.
