So far as the country has had oppor-
tunity to judge, Populism means visionary
reform in theory and unblushing nepotism
in practice.
There is one consolation. While Missouri
statesmen are conducting bogus investiga-
tions at Kansas City they are not doing
any devilment at Jefferson City.
There is no getting away from the fact,
says the Chicago Post, that Chicago. the
largest city of this continent, is also the
healthiest. And yet the sanitary boards
would have us believe that sewage is I'M
wholesome.
Boss Gambler Findley admits himself
that he has received no protection from
police. What more do Messrs. Pope and
Avery want?

1t is possibly true, as Senator Hoar inti-

the accident had not occurred.
Major McKinley's request that the 5000
intended to be spent on an inaugural ball
shall be used for the relief of suffering hu-
manity is the expression of a most worthy

The destruction of his big Philadelphia
emporium by fire may enable Mr.. Wanna
maker to forget hs political disappoint-
ments.

The sunny South will notice that Kansas
is no longer harboring the animosities. The
