and green was imperial, the tint affected
by Bonsparte, and fit emblem of the
state affected by Cleveland, who re-
garded himself as sort of uncrowned
emperor.
"The meanest, measliest, most unartistic
stamp the United States ever owned was
the 'sickly green stamp There is no
need of change. This is an era of pros
perity, and Uncle Sam can afford to put
on little more style in his stamps, as
we'll as elsewhere. Instead of changing
to greenland green is the hue en-
blematic of change-let US stick to the
present color--put little gold in, if any
variety is needed, but no more arsenic
tinted stamps for the American public to
lick. No revival of Clevelandism, no resur-
rection of the sickly green stamp"

POPULISM IN KANSAS,

If the saying that hard times are re-
quired to make Populists is true, then
Populism must be at low ebb in Kansas
at the present time. According to State
Bank Commissioners Briedenthal, money
is so plenty in the Sunflower state that
the country banks are refusing deposits.
Under a law enacted last winter, no
bank can loan more than four times its
capital, and many small banks in the
state, with a capital of but $4,000, have
deposits amounting to $4,000. Since
only 100000 can be loaned by an institu-
ton of the kind mentioned, the handling
of such large sums of money is not only
Improbable, but unsafe, and bankers re-
fuse to receive any more money on depos-
it for those reasons. The harvesting
and marketing of the wheat crop has re-
suited in actually embarrassing the state
banks, but not in the way embarrassment
generally comes. After the pitifol stories
that have been told of the poverty strick.
en- Kansas farmer by the sockless Jerrys
of the state, such a condition is not only
gratifying but extremely amusing.
Another feature of the situation must
not be overlooked, and that is the
much talked about mortgage debts. Mr.
Brledenthal states that in 1890 the mort
loo doh Of kha ako&
while at the present time it does not ex-
coed $40000,000, and the farmers are pay
ing that off as fast as the CROPS can be
harvested and marketed. reduction of
debt amounting to over $37000,000 a
year during the past seven years, in an
agricultural state, shows anything but q
poverty stricken condition of the people.
Of course there are certain farmers who
have been hard up and lost their homes
through the foreclosure of mortgages,
but those men belong, as rule, to a
class of men who are always In financial
straits, no matter what the yield per acre
is, or what the market price for grain
may be.
With condition of the money market
in Kansas, as has been reported, it will be
an astonishing thing if real estate boom
does not sweep over the state, and the
values of farm lands reach those of the
east In that event there will be ma
terial change in the character of the
population. The present settlers will
sell ont and hunt cheaper lands, and the
purchasers who take their places will be
OF less cratic class. Kansas has been
the starting place of more "isms" and
wild notions concerning finance and
politics than any other locality, 30 it has
been said, bat present Indications point
to new state of affairs, and Populism
may be said to be dead, so far as that
state goes.

KAISER WILLIAM succeeds in getting
himself into trouble of all kinds with
wonderful ease. The latest escapade that
is causing him sleepless nights is the
squandering in personal extravsgances

GREEN POSTAGE STAMPS.

The Brooklyn Standard Union is very
much worked up over the announcement
recently made that the 2-cent postage
stamp will hereafter be printed with green
ink. Green seems to have very much the
same effect upon the Brooklyn paper
that red does upon bull, and here is
the song Of woe it sings:
1.-THE green postage stamp of the 2 cent
denomination was Cleveland invention.
That lie, it came in under the rule of
Oleveland's postmaster general, Villas.
One inclined to pun might say it was vile
Is IL could be. Honest John Wana-
maker, Harrison's postmaster general,
lost no time in bsnishing the beastly
thing, and gave the country the neatest
and most artistic and pleasing postage
stamp 1t ever had. The stamp of the
Arthur administration was Venetian
red, a color favored by artists. The
change to green seems to have been
made for the sake of change only this
and nothing more, although economy was
the plea. You see, red was Republican,

MARKED DOWN MATRlMCNY.
The Rate War In Connubial Corners and
It's Effect ON Jen.

The Kate War In ConnuDlal corners ana
Its Effect on Jen.
| When Bill Hemlook, the bark husker of
| Chipmunk Hollow, and Jen Peters, his
| hearts idol, drove into town the hottest
| rate war in the history Of matrimony was
raging between Badly Splicer, Esq, the
leading justice of the peace of Connubial
Corners and rival justice, both of whom
made a speciality of Splicing country
couples regardless of age, color, religion
or previous condition of matrimonial serv-
itude.
Justice Splicers rival had started the
war by making couple one for $3.50, de-
spite the fact that the regular tariff was 80.
When he heard the news, Justice Splicer
swore by the pinfeathers on the wings of
Cupid that no man could underbid him,
and promptly announced a rate of Isl. rs
with bouquet for the bride thrown in.
Within 10 minutes Justice Gubbins more
than met the cut by declaring that he
would wed couple for $1.65, throw in
pair of extra witnesses, give the bride a
pound of molasses taffy and beautify the
marriage certificate with red ink birds
and flowers
When the hotel porters who got COM
mission for capturing country couples at
the trains brought the news to Justice
Splicer, that worthy at once came down to
81. 81 and offered to throw in the following
as bonus: One chrome of Leander SWIM
ming the Hellespont, papered covered
copy of "How to Be Happy Though Mar
ried, a pound of lnolasses taffy and kiss
for the bride, if she wanted it,
At this interesting juncture Bill and
Jen arrived upon the scene and were
promptly spotted by one of Justice Spill
GERS hotel porters, a keen fellow who could
the distance Of half mile without even
straining his eyes. He held them up, sur
rounded them and eloquently set forth the
fact that a regular fire sale in marriage
certificates was in progress and that he
could get them in on the ground floor of
welded bliss for 81. 55 and extras thrown
in. He was interrupted in the middle of
his plea by rival porter, who dashed up,
seized Bill by the arm and announced that
Justice Gubbins would tie the most artis-
tic nuptial knot in history for $1.49, and
give the bride two pounds of taffy, a red
bandana handkerchief, pair of diamond
earrings and quart Of fresh roasted pea
nuts.
Say, Jen, did ye hear that?" whispered
Bill.
"Uh, huh," replied Jen.
"Will ye marry me, .Jen?"
"Uh, huh, Bill, but not now, not now"
"Why not, Jen?"
"Why not?" Jen repeated, her eyes flash
ing with soorn. 'Do We suppose I'm ever
goin to have We THROWN it in my face that
ye only married me becuz was marked

WHEN the frat case Of yellow fever was
reported in the south, the physicians an
nounced with great deal of confidence
that the disease would not be allowed to
spread. Under ordinary circumstances
the fever might have been confined to
one locality, but after the floods of last
spring, which left the low lands in state
peculiarly adapted for the propagation
and distribution of disease germs. the
medicos have so far been unable to pre-
vent the epidemic from assuming very
appalling aspect. In many of the cities
of the Mississippi valley veritable panic
prevails, and the people are fleeing for
their lives; in other places rigid quaran-
tine regulations condemn the unfortunate
citizens to lives of constant apprehension.
Some arrangements should be made in
every place afflicted with the scourge
whereby those who desire to 20 to diff
ferent climate could do 80, and all the aid
possible rendered the fleeing. There are
localities in the United States where the
yellow fever cannot exist, and persons
should be allowed to reach them without
running the risk of being shot on the road.
