WOMEN correspondents from Wash
ington are taking up more or less time
and space in their criticism of Mrs.
Cleyeland's gowns. We are not compe-
tent to defend against a charge of that
kind as we are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the technical names
applied to the several and numerous
portions of lady's wardrobe to al
ways clearly understand what is being
discussed. But leaving out the ques-
tion of fit or eternal fitness" as too
profane, as well as too profound to be
touched upon by us, whose feminine
acquaintances, in our community, do
not wear gowns at all-only dresses;
we don't mean that they wear moth
ing but dresses, but they wear dresses
instead of gowns or rather that they
don't have gowns, that is to say they
don't wear two gowns at the same
time as they do in Washington the
fact is that we don't know exactly
what we do know and ought never to
have tackled this subject, but we
think everybody knows that ladies
only wear ''gowns" in the larger and
Fashionable cities and in the rural
districts and non-fashionable society
they only wear dresses of course we
don't wish to convey the idea that
wears dresses only lbut rather that
they wear dresses that is to say that
they don't wear two dresses and call
them both gowns or or what in
thunder do we mean anyway. Before
we ever tackle subject of this kind
again we wiz retire from journalism
forever.

A MAN by the name of Tom Potter,
of Peabody, seems to have an inning
just at present as a candidate for gov
ernor to succeed e. ~ Morrill,. 1t is
extremely humiliating for US to adj
nit that we don't know Tom Potter
personally and it is almost agony to
be forced to confess that we have
never heard of him until within the
last month. We have known Tom
Potter of the Union Pacific railway
but he has been dead several years.
We have heard of ''Mr. Potter of
Texas" but never understood that he
had located in Kansas. In fact we
have known several Potters in our
time but Tom Potter, of Peabody, is
a stranger to US. He may know US by
reputation. A great many do. Seri-
ously, will some of Mr.. Potter's
friends tell us all about it before we
display our political ignorance fur
ther?

ONE of the greatest drawbacks to
western Kansas has been the lack of
capital for experimental purposes.
During the years 1885, 1886 and 1887
much foreign capital was invested in
western Kansas, but it was principally
in mortgages on real estate During
that period our most energetic citi-
zens we're too busily engaged in real
estate deals and town lot schemes to
give any attention to experiments by
way of developing the country. The
collapse came, eastern, investors were
llsgusted with their experience and
our own people, most OF them. were

A FEW weeks since the report was
given out that a small coterie of poll
ticians hal met at Kansas City and
decided that Mr.. Leland should not
go to the Republican National con-
vention at ST Louis and at the same
time agreed to support Judge j. B.
Johnson for that position and also to
a place on the national committee.
This week the Leland forces met at
Topeka and the Sixth district was
represented by A. III. Ellis and Judge
w. b. Sutton. The issues are square
ly joined and the fight is now on be-
tween Leland and Judge Johnson.
Both are able men and either will be
acceptable to the Republicans at
large. This occurs to us to be largely
a battle between the politians of the
state. Considering the manner in
which these self CONSTITUTED guardi-
ans of the politics of the party are
endeavoring to control matters would
it not be good idea for the voters of
the party to have something to say
about it little later on?

Paris has chosen for its latest wonder a
prophetess-a young woman, a spiritualistic
medium, who claims to be the mouthpiece of
the Angel Gabriel. Some of her prophecies
have been fulfilled. and in consequence her
rooms besieged by priests, politicians, So
ciety DANES, artists poets, love sick maidens,
and hundreds of people who long for peep
into the mystery Of the future. However. she
makes some mistakes, and it is probable that
her history will be the history of countless
others who have claimed Divine authority for
their dreaiDings. Perhaps she is not fraud.
Perhaps she is deluded into belief in herself
Perhaps the Angel Gabriel really has chosen
her to speak to the world for him.

The dress worn by United States Minister
Breck inridge last week on being received by
the Gar has provoked much comment in
Washington by those who no not know that 1t
was not diplomatic uniform, but simply a
court dress. which many of our foreign repre-
scntatives have used on occasions when some
sort OF distinctive attire is demanded. MINIS
ter Breckenridge, however, did not don his
knee brooches, patent-leather pumps, SIX
stockings, and coat with brass buttons without
first consulting the State Department and re-
ceiving instructions that he must conform TO
the requirements of the Russian Court CHAM
berlain as regards matters of dress and other
little points OF etiqnet which are so dear to the
average European court. The correspondence
over the uniform the Minister should wear
was begun several weeks ago, and went through
all the formalities of the most important State
paper.
