About the Koen Canal.

A dispatch through the Associated
Press, from Denver, Nov. 18th. says:
F. B. Koen, one of the large canal
builders of the Arkansas valley, is in
the city on his way to New York to
confer with capitalists concerning the
big irrigation reservoir for western
Kansas. Mr.. Koen has a plan of
supplying water for 40, 900 acres of
land in the region of the Arkansas
river, the water to be taken from the
stream at the time of the spring floods,
or pumped from the channel at other
times of the year. The project is one
of the most important schemes for the
development of western Kansas that
has as yet been brought forward in a
practical form. Mr.. Koen built the
Amity canal. and is a practical canal
man of many years of experience.

Who Pays, and Who Don't.

The mine owners meet and raise the
price of coal-the people pay it; the
miners meet and raise the price of their
labor-the mine owners don't pay it.
The Standard Oil company meets and
raises the price of oil the people pay
it: the assessors raise the taxes of the
oil company-the Standard Oil Com
pany don't pay it. The railroad owners
meet and raise the rates-the people
pay them; the employees meet and
raise the price of their labor-the rail-
roads don't pay it. The spectators
set the price Of wheat-the public pays
it; the farmers meet and set the price
of grain the SPECTATORS don't pay it.
The telegraph company quotes the
rates-the public pays them; the en-
ployes attempt to meet and set the
price of their Work-the company fire:
them. The trusts set the price, with
one exception. aud the public pays it
the legislators set the price of treacherJ
AMI the monopohes pay it. Coming

School Boy s Essay.

A young boy who was greatly
troubled in the use of the word s'coupie'
in its singular and plural sense, was
told to write an essay in which the
word should appear frequently. In
this way he would acquire the knowl-
edge desired. from a practical use of
the word Here is the result of his
efforts:
There ives couple that went fishing.
One half of it was a man; the other half
was a woman. 1t went in a row boat
with a pair of oars, which was also a
couple. So there was a couple Of
couples. The woman half of the first
couple caught couple of fish. Then
there was three couples. Said the man
part of the first couple:
1--WE have caught enough fish,"
Then it sat down together and put
It's arms around it and said.
.Oh, my, don't"
But it didn't act as though it cared
much. Just then the boat ran into ;
stump and stopped. This couple was
very singular for a while, but finally
she said to it:
"George, my dear, dosen't it think i
is time to go homer" 1t looked at If:
watch and SAID: Eyes, dearie, it isl'
Then this couple was plural. while OFT
of it rowed home. So a couple is boil
singular and plural. just the same.

Dan Anthony on Oy Leland.


Col. D, r. Anthony, of the Leaven-
worth Times has at last acknowledged
the shortcomings of the republican
boss of Kansas. Here is the picture
he prints of the foxy Cy, after long
years of close communion with him:
"Lelands following in Kansas has
dwindled down to few servile para
sites who still expect some political
spoils. Leland's influence has waned.
1.-The party is weary of the boss low
cunning, weary of his unclean methods,
weary of his petty OPPRESSION. He is a
small. minded man and his tools are of
the most sordld kind. His political
method is contemplate and depraved.
He is man without principles, with
out any appreciation of the noble
spirit and aims of republicanism. He
is spoiIs politician and nothing more.
The people have found him out and
are against him and his ways.
Iceland has for years pursued
course of trickery, intrigue and corrup-
ton for the sole purpose of aggrandize-
ment for himself and ring of men like
him. He was prominent figure in
abominable lobbying which disgraced
the populist legislature last winter, and
that is only one of many examples of
his work.
