The Kansas City Star, a mongrel
sheet which loves Republicans and
never loses an opportunity to show
its hatred Of Populism, portrays the
situation thusly under the head of
"The Kansas Mutiny:"
"The situation IN Kansas is calcu-
lated to make the judicious grieye
and to I'll the heart Of all observers
interested in the honor and good
name Of the Republican party with
mingled sorrow and contempt.
1.-THE Republican army having,
after severe struggle, driven the
POpuhsts from their entrenched
camp, now seems to have fallen out
with its commander about the Spoils.
Every consideration seems to have
been lost sight Of in the quarrel over
plumber. Every old saddle, or rusty
Saber, or abandoned canteen is the
center Of gang Of scufflers who cuff
each other. and, above all, curse the
chief because he does not award to
each the Bit Of prey which is the
object Of the jealous contention of
all.
1T is difficult to recognize 10 this
crowd Of bloody -nosed and disheyeled
screamers the high-minded patriots
who, short time ago, were declaim-
ing in lofty notes about the "greedn
Of the Populists; yet they are the
same. The sight Of few Offices
seems to have thoroughly democrat
lied the Republican forces, and in
stead Of keeping 10 ranks and await
ing the next onset OF the foe, which
they may be assured will he no ch.ld's
play, they are running about in search
of odds and ends, or surrounding the
headquarters Of their commander
with cries and shouts and abusive
noises Of which little is ineligible
save that they wanted something and
that somebody else has got it.

The Kansas City Gazette, edited
by Geo. w. Martin who was a for
midable candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor last
fall, offers this bit of information
concerning our Johnny Bull state
accountant:
"SOme folks think when we referred
to the new state accountant. John
England Challenor, that the name
was gag Of ours. That is not so.
We copied his name from the records
Of the clerk of the district court,
where a duplicate Of his naturaliza-
ton papers was filed March q, 1895.
IL was spelled out in full, John Eng
land Challen0r. 1t is a good name
and John England is a clever fellow,
entitled 10 all he can get. The only
thing to kick about is tbs taste or
Judgment OF the governor who would
induce John England to remain in
America by a good Office, when he
wanted to get back to England.
There are lots Of fellows In Kansas
who do not want and cannot get
away.
"We have heard a great deal about
the office chasing the man, but when
it grabs an alien, prevents his return
to England and forces him to take
out naturalization papers so he may
be eligible to commission, it is time
the Kansas man, who has some con-
ception OF citizenship and who
through his ability and activity keeps
the material and political fires burn
ing, should tumble to the fact that he
