SECESSlONISTS.
According to the New York Sun, there is
movement on foot to take the New England
states and portion of the state of New York
ont OF the Union, and annex them to Canada.
We are not surprised at this. For years,
lot of shoddy aristocrats of New York and
"culchawed' Boston and other seaports have
been dissatisfied with our republican form of
government. They want monarchal govern
nent so they may become lords, earls, dukes,
etc. In fact, they are so badly stuck OIL that
form of government that some of those Goldfish
aristocrats have had crowns made for their
wives to wear-exact counterparts of the crowns
worn by Queen Victoria and other Old World
potentates.
New York city has always been in rebellion
against the government. Her sympathies were
with the Southern confederacy during the wal,
and she became so obstreperous that it became
necessary to put her under martial law. TIE
Sun was of the papers that supported her
in her rebellious attitude toward the govern
ment-and that paper, to-day, is one of the
chief villifers of Kansas
In one respect we would be willing to see
that section of the country annexed to Canada
or some other country, and we could exclaim,
with gusto, Good riddance of bad rubbish"
but it would please those would-be royalists too
we'll to be allowed to sever their relationship
with the Union, and we want to see them pun
ished and whipped into submisson--treat them
as other rebels are treated
And right here we will say that we believe
that the contest four years hence will be
tional 6ght-the East against the West and
South-dollarocracy against the wealthpro-
ducers-and before that time comes, there will
be union of forces that will overthrow those
rebels who would destroy our republic
Get together! Let the rebels rant and.rave!
THE gold-bug papers of the state, headed by
the Topeka Capital, are claiming that the states
which gave Bryan majority lead in iteracy.
They know this is lie. For years, these same
papers have claimed lat Kansas and Nebraska
led in point of intelligence, but now that they
have declared against gold-bug rule, these ira
ducers and vilifers have changed their tune.
The fact is, the preponderance of iliteracy is
on the side of the Mckinley states.
THE Lawrence World thinks the West should
have two places in McKinley's cabinet So it
should, but it won't get 'em. Every member
of that cabinet will be an Eastern man, and all
be missionaries The West amt in it with
Hammer and his little tin Napoleon.
THOSE liars who are writing from Kansas to
the Eastern papers started the report that the
next legislature intended to declare Mexican
silver dollars legal tender in this state S nne
people believed the fake. Sensible people
knew it was lie.
THE Lawrence World wants ''Foghorn"
Funston to run foi governor in 'oS, on the Re-
publican ticket. All right. We're willin'.
Gee-whizz What puddin' that'll be tor the
Pop candidate
MRS. DIGGs says, positively, that she IS not
candidate for any position whatever, and would
not accept any appointment.
No POpULIST is ashamed of Kansas. We
never traducc our state-we're proud of her.
REPUBLICAN managers are now talking Of is
suing more bonds and they'll do it, too.
BURLINGTON gave Governor Leedy great
reception on the 10th
