A warning -
The early bird may catch the worm.
| Alas! poor little thing!
It'll also catch killing cold
II it comes too early in the spring.

The forthcoming report of Secretary Of
Agriculture Coburn will be devoted to
the Kansas hen, and will crow over her
good deal.
The statute book will be published
May 8th, and ali laws which were or.
dered to take effect on publication In the
statute book, will then be in effect.
The supply of horses at the Kansas
City market was net large enough for an
auction. Everything offered was sold at
private sale, and prices were strong.
The mayor of Topeka is discharging
city employees who drink. No man is
allowed to drink in Topeka who is of a
lower rank than Santa Fe clerk or
state officer. .
The claim that $50 salary for term
of two years is not enough to secure
good legislation is again disproven. One
of the leading populists in the last house
saved enough to buy 200 head Of steers
and take trip to New York.
Cattle receipts at Kansas City, Chicago,
Omaha and St. Louis for four months of
1897 were the largest for any correspond
ing period since 1894; hog receipts were
exceeded in only one precious period,
that of 1891; sheep receipts were the
largest on record.
Frank Montgomery in the Kansas City
Journal gives description of how wild
horses once rOamed over Kansas and were
captured and tanned. Frank should now
tell about the wild asses that haye been
running about in Kansas for several
years, too many of them still at large

One Of Grants ancestors was Pilgrim,
who landed at Dorchester, Mass, 267
years ago, and his grandfather, Noah
Grant, fought at Bunker Hill. This is a
good item for those who have been try
ing to sow dissension between the West |
and the East.
The first political convention of any |
consequence called in Kansas this year |
will assemble at Lakin on May 2lst, to
nominate republican candidate for
Judge of the Thirty second district. The
district is composed of nine counties,
and is one of the largest on the western
border. The present judge is w. E.
Hutchison, a republican.
The war in Greece was hardly week
old when we felt its influence on our |
financial condition in two ways. First,
there came decided raise in the market |
for breadstufis. Wheat doomed on the |
market, and all sorts of food materials |
stifYened with it. In this respect its influ- !
ence was almost instantly favorable to the |
American producer.
At the recent state election in Michi-
gan the total vote was las, $50 smaller |
than for president in 1896, but the gold
democrats increased their vote from $3.50
to q ,799. The republicans polled 1913
per cent Of the whole vote last year, and
53.s per cent of this years aggregate,
gain of one-half of per cent. Michi-
gan's straw for 1897 looks bad for silver
ties all along the line.
Let US see, says the Mail and Breeze,
cattle are now bringing in the neighbor-
hood of fourth more than year ago;
hogs something like so cents hundred
better, and wheat has passed the dollar
mark In our large markets, but silver is
still slumping below the 80 cent mark.
What has become Of the old fashioned
populist who asserted that the price OF
farmers produce and price Of silver went
up aud down together?
