In collecting expert testimony on the
Intoxicating properties of hard cider
Judge Ferry seems to have overlooked
State Treasurer Anterior. There is
another state official also, who. if re-
ports are true, might be valuable
witness. (Affidavits are in order.)-

In addition to all his other meanness
and laundering bOobyIsm. Governor
Morrill, is now denounced by Rey.
Barnyard Kelley as the most notorious
liar that ever dlsgraced Kansas. &el-
ley is the fellow who boosted that the
Methodist preachers elected Morrill,
ElDOradO Advocate.

Mrs. Lease said when she appeared
on the witness stand to testify in the
Householder case, she prayed the Lord
to direct her to say only the right thing.
All we have to say is, that if her prayer
was answered and her testimony was
inspired from on high, the Lord is ter
ribly slangy .--Troy Chief.

The republican weekles that care
more for pelf than the good of the
state are running editorials bought and
who spend thousands of dollars in
fixing the press of the country. There
has been decided change in the tone
of quite number of those papers IN
the past month.-Anthony Bulletin.

If silver Is remonetiZed gold will
leave the country, say the sound
money" advocates. Suppose it should.
1t will not go cut without something
being left for it, will it? Then how
can we be the losers? Perhaps the
sound money" people expect to make
present of their gold to foreigners,
but the people generally will not do so.
They will have value tor every dollar
of gold they give up.-Wichita Com

Say, you republicans with mortgages
on your farms and patches on your
ness striking you? Kansas has been
afflicted with droughts, hot winds,
cyclones, graSshoppers, and chinch bugs,
but the greatest affection of all that
ever cursed Kansas is the republican
with patches on his pants. He holds
The same relation to the corporation
thief and plunderer that the blood
hound did to the slave owner.-Ottawa
journal.

Those fellows who conduct Morrlll's
infant industry in Leavenworth must
be hard crowd. Governor Smith, of
the Soldiers home, has issued strict
orders to prohibit members from leav-
ing the barracks in the evening, or al
any time of day during the ten days
following pension payment, without
special permission. The reason given
for this rule Is Ito prevent the veterans
from being made drunk and robbed by
Leavenworth jointists. Topeka Ad

The republicans charged all kinds OF
crimes against populists state officials
but they never had an opportunity to
charge our men with insulting and
running young girls. Neither did they
have any excuse for charging tue state
treasurer with drunkenness. GOV
Lewelling never paid his private ex
penses, answering congratulatory tele
grams, political headquarters rent. etc.
out of state funds. Oh, but the re-
dee mers are a sweet scented outfit
Lawrence Jeffersonian.
Senator Thacher made strong point
in his able defense of Senator Rogers
when he stated that the faculty of the
university unanimously commended
tSenator Rogers as a regent and the
governor, in spite of the statute auth
orizing him to suspend an ofiicia
charged with corruption or incapacity
had refused to suspend Senator Rogers
from his position. 1t is clear enough
to every impartial observer that charg
es were brought against Senator Rog
ers as personal spltework -Topeks

1 The ''redeemers" are now after
Q John Briedenthal's scalp. Governor
Morril's state accountant, Johnny
Bull Challinor, made an investigation
OF the bank commissioners books ant
discov cred that Nh. Breidenthal had no
been turning over his fees as promptl,
as the law specifics. There was no ey
! idence that the state had ever lost {
, cent. but the practice of making re
} turns was retarded by the fact that tn,
: deputies only get into their headquar
: tiers occasionally anu had neglected I,
send their fees in by telegraph. Bred
enthal surprised the state aeconntaG
next day after he made his report Il
