the dearest little military jacket in
the world, with brass buttons all
down the front, white duck skirt

cleaning at her side. Col. Ely has
never used the sword, and hopes
she never will, but she takes very
good care of it, and if it ever does
come into play it will have all the
potency of sword cleaned three

A Few Observations on the State Legisla

A Few Observations on the State Legisla-
II is overwhelming populistic in
both branches.
1t promised more prior to the cleo
ton and accomplished less than any
of it's predecessors.
1t had the largest list of useless
and superf1uous clerks and officers
than any legislature of this state ever
had.
1t is said to be the first Kansas
State legislature that ever had to
have professional prompter to tell
tary law is. 1t showed good judg-
ment in selecting a republican for
prompter, however.
1t failed to sock it to the banks,
the railroads, the various corporations
which occupied so much of the vocal
yituperation during the months pre-
ceding the November election.
1t killed the pet measure of Sena-
tor Campbell, who had a true popu-
capita," by permitting the various
counties to issue scrip and providing
that said scrip must be accepted as a
part of the circulating medium of the
country.
1t behaved very much like strange
cat in an upper room. 1t didn't know
where it was at nor what it wanted
to do. So it finally decided that the
republicans had made good laws and
that the best thing to do was to &c
home and saw wood.

THE WESTERN MAN.

New England is shack east" the
Southern States are ''down south;"
Alaska lies 'sup north;" Texas used to
be Mexico; the slope of the Rockies
is ''out West''-but we, here in the
center of the continent, are Ameri-
cans. Here from the four corners of
the Nation have the people gathered
from the four corners and the in
tervening states Here have they
gathered and made their homes and
brought up their families. Here are
sown their virtues and their vices to
combine into the great national type.
For long years that strip along the
Atlantic seaboard was the American
colonies, and during that time was
formed the habit of calling all the
rest of the continent the West. No
doubt there are to be found, even to
this day. in remote villages in the
original Thirteen, conservative souls
who still talk of Ohio as tout West
and who still think of Missouri and
Kansas as the camping ground of the
hardy pioneer.
1t is that old habit, established be-
fore this dying century was born,
which has given to these central
States the name of Western, which
has made 'sthe West" term embrac-
/ ing practically three-fourths of the
Eentire nation. Analysing it carefully,
one begins to realize that the West,
and the Westerner, the Western
States, and the Western man mean
.actually nothing more nor loss than
America and American The West
erner stands to-day as the National
type

plan which we have been assured
would put the cabosh on the money
power and bring peace and prosperity
to the down-trodden serfs writhing
under the heel of an irrogant pluto
cracy. and yet that bill only got thir-
teen votes out of that body of states
men.
The bankers have also gained vic
tory over the reformers who proposed
to reduce the rate of interest. What
has become of that talk about the
Shylocks who demanded their pound
of flesh and robbed the poor with
usury?
There are, l might say. large
touches of human nature in this as
sembly- For instance, when the bill
to prevent blacklisting of employees
was up, when it was discovered that
it would prevent the farmer from
giving a reason for turning off hired
hand except by way of written re-
port, there were objections among
the agricultural statesmen. They
were willing that almost any old law
should be made that would hit rail

law that interfered with their BUSH
ness-well, that was different. At
this point in proceedings the mem
Der from Kingman proceeded to rip
the agricultural statesman up the
back with vigorous rip that raised
a smell of burning flesh that could be
detected out in the corridors. sYou
talked during the campaign about
your devotion to the labOrer, and now
when you have 4 chance to make a

of his party associates took offense at
the remarks of Mr.. Fairchild, and

was greeted with great applause.-T.

list press does nothing toward help
ing the country to prosperity. We
have looked in vain to see a single
announcement of anything leading
toward a brighter outlook. On the
contrary, every failure in business is
heralded far and wide and charged up
to the Mckinley administration now
only one day old.
We understand the populists have
passed a very important measure
which prevents the dockage of hogs.
As the old law stood SOW heavy in
pig was locked 40 pounds and male
stag so pounds. As this is one of the
most important enactments of the
state legislature up to the present
writing We feel like congratulating
the whole legislature on it's accom-
plishment of thing over forty
days elaboration. We venture the
assertion, however, as a great COM
mercial authority, that the law will
work against the fellow who raises
hogs. As the old law stood, a man
took nice bunch of fat hogs to
maj hCG anu SOiO OIlc 1OG DIT d
price for the bunch, suffering a small
dockage, perhaps, for one or two not
quite so Salable as the rest. Under
the present law we predict that the
undesirable hogs will be thrown out
and the farmer who sold them must
take what he can get for them. No
law can be enacted compelling full
price to be paid for piggy sows or
STACEY barrows. They are not worth
rs much as other hogs. The result of
the new law will be against the
farmer inasmuch as instead of a
dockage he will be compelled to sell
the whole hog at lower price.
regret to tell the vociferous son
of toll who listened with open mouth
to the arguments in favor of fiat
money during the campaign, that his
confidence in this body of law giyers
is misplaced. The Campbell scrit

WILL INVITE BRYAN.

AS suggested by The Times some time
ago, the Democratic executive committee
have been making some inquiries to as
certain whether or net Hon. w. J. Bryan
had an engagement for August II land yes
terday received telegram saying that he
had not. Accordingly meeting was
held In the Office of A. Blair Antrim last
night and n resolution passed inviting
Mr. Bryan to come to Ronoke OH Au-
gust II and make speech before the con-
veption and also before the citizens if pos
sible, and committee of five consisting
OF A. Blair Antrim, chairman; w. f.
Bryant, f. L. Bell, Jas. McFall and Elias
Mahoney, was appointed to go to Char
lottesville and consult with Mr.. Bryan
and endeavor if possible to have him pre-
sent The above committee, with the adj
ditioa of Mr.. Palmer st. Clair, left on the
1890 train last night for Charlottesville.
The sentiment that was endeavored to be
raised against his coming has com pletely
subsidized and it is the unanimous verdict
that it would be the very best thing that
could happen.
