O, What q Breeze.

The official state paper, before this
dignifisd title was attached to it's Gu
phonious name, the Kansas Breeze, had
made quite a reputation as humorous
paper. 1t should have be9n happy with
that reputation, but il wasn'b. Ii wanted
to be an "orRRn." The personal popu'
larisy Of lts publishers secured for it tho
desired recognition from the executive
council, and since that epoch its col
umns have been chiefly devoted 10 the
quoting Of complimentary notices OF
itself from other papers, and TO legal
printing.
But lately the political editor OF the
Breeze suddenly swoks to the supreme
Importance Of his position. To bS an
'orRan," his paper must bS q leader Of
the party; to be q leader It must be more
than q cuckoo. Prsising itself and the
state off ,ers who elected II, and mixing
up jokes with "sCts" and legal notices
would not suffice TO keep it At the head
Of the great party Of redsemsrs.
II must discuss questions of state and
pOlOticaI economy. With this conviction
the political editor OF the Breeze Get out
to do his duty, and the next issue bore
evidence Of his handiWork. O,my, what
an effort! II was modest, though, and
bore some marks Of honesty. In one
column the editor admitted that 1--WE

another was an article on finance which
gRllOped of this way:
Whatever NAV be said about the 70
cent letter OF Grover Cleveland, it oc-
ours to us that he hit the nail on the
hsad when hO remarked that the coming
financial contest would bO over the ques-
tion OF silver monomOtalism."
The paper was out, the finance article
had been approved by Governor Morrill,,
and the editor was patiently awaiting q
congrstulatory message from Mr.. Clsvs-
land. A group Of republican politicians
and Office holders sat In the state house,

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CONVENTION.

Marched Down Again.
The Kansas Republican league held it's
annual convention in Topeka April Is,
The league is composed Of members OF
local republican clubs oil over the state,
or wherever there are such local clubs,
and the convention was composed Of
delegates from these local organizations.
This convention elected officers for the
ensuing year, passed some SsrSSolutions
which contained Rs much as the ordinary
republican platform, listened to some
windy speeches, and adjourned. II you
ask any member what they did, he will
probably answer that they had q good
time.
The officers elected were: President,
Senator G. F. Scott, OF lola; secretary, g.
E. Gault, OF Topeka; treasurer, Grant
Hornadsy, Of Ft. Scott. Mr.. Scott sue
Ceeds @. M. Sheldon, of BurliDgRme, in
the Office.
Harry Bone, OF Clark county, was the
competing candidate against Nj. Scott
for the presidency, but the report that
he had been selected by the Leland. Nor
rill crowd defeated him, the vote being
522 TO 4S2. There is little cause, how
ever, for the anti. administration to re-
joice over the result, for Mr. Scott rep
ressnts principally nothing. he Is a man
of little force in any place. Had the can
didate against Mr. Bone basn q pro-
nouncsd "snti" there is no telling what
the result would have been.
The resolutions were Of tle usual
quality Of "slop," They condemned the
Cleveland government, Of course, and
declared for protection, but omitted
mentioning the state administration.
Boss Leland had proclaimed that such q
convention was no place to raise fights or
outline policies. Here ia the declsrs-

This startling charge OF official drunk

April Is:
"a disgrRCeful scene occurred on the
main street Of the capital city OF Kansas
last Sunday which throws disCredit on
one Of the most important Offices Of the
administration. The facts have been
whispered about for some days, but TO-
day the truth came to light in such q
way that it admits Of no question.

Ger only last Sunday made q shocking
spectacle Of himself in Topeka on Kan

"Last Sunday afternoon this state
officer was in Topeka and it had been
previously arranged that he was to 60 to
Kansas City Sunday afternoon to meet
other members Of the executive council
and they were to 60 out OF Kansas City
over the Missouri Pacific railway. At 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon the officer in
question was seen at the Copeland and
his RcqusintanCes who saw him and
talked with him knew from his Bppesr.
ance that he had been drinking. He
told a Topeka newspaper man that he
was going to Kansas City, but as it was
too late for the Rock Island he would
take the Santa Fs at 6 O'Clock. A few
minutes before 6 o'clock he started for
the Santa Fs depot to catch his train.
He staggered from one side of the walk
to the other, utterly unable to regulate
his course, his shameful condition visi.

some Of whom knew him and some did

Copeland on Kansas avenue, he wac,
while awsying almost from one side Of
the broad walk to the other met By the
correspondent Of q Kansas City paper,
who spoke to him,ssying: What are you
doing here on the street, drunk like thisi
The state official was able to explain
that he was trying to get to the Santa
Fe depot TO catch q train for KanSas
City, and the newspaper man attempted
to help him to get on q passing street
car. The good SRmaritan's efforts were
in vain, however, Rs the state official was
too drunk to get on the car. he was
then started in the direction OF the de.
pot and finally got there on foot, but
too late to catch his train which had
gone ten minutes before he arrived.

Against a stubborn foe.

While Faith In God and country's love
