The old fight between the state and
the NJ. K. u L. railway arising out of
an effort Oh the part of the former to
compel the company to comply with
the law which requires it to maintain
its general offices within the state is
settled at last. The offices of the COM

work has been commenced on the
building which will be occupied for
that purpose. Attention should now

The legislature refused to tax bache-
lors for tue support of "Old maids"
The bill was unjust. 1t was vicious,

would add one jot or little to the old
bachelors sad lot. AS for the ''old
maids'' of this section, well, they are

you. They don't need any of the old
bachelors money, and they won't have
it. Now take that.-LeXington mo J

Cy Leland is for Mckinley because
he came to Kansas and helped elect the
republican ticket. Cy Leland is prac-
teal politician and if Mckinley can be
elected he wants Mckinley. AS far as
the platform or declaration of princi-
pies is concerned Mr.. Leland leaves
that to those who pretend they want
something more than office. Whether
we have a gold or silver basis, free
trade or protection, the salaries of gov
eminent officials are paid regularly and
the securing of these salaries is poll
