passed.
II the temperature rises much higher
Kansas City's summer resort reputation
Will be singed.
The best evidence that Vallins is a good
official is the desperate efforts of the ring
politicians to throw him out.
1t is impossible to conceal the truth any
longer. The Kansas City ball team will not
win the pennant this season.
The passage of the tariff bill in the
senate is the beginning OF the end-the end
Of business uncertainty and Democratic
hard times.
The Republican party has abundantly
proven its ability to get along successfully
with Mr.. Dana's opposition. 1t will now
have TO test its ability to get along with his
help.
II il is true that this sort of weather
is necessary to make corn, the corn crop
is a much costlier institution than gen.
orally supposed.
The sultan will go on with his stubborn
tactics until the first thing he knows he
will be jam up against one of those dread
full ultimatums.
Senator Allen is heavily handicapped in
his official grandstand performances by the
fact that he has a record and Senator
Thurston knows it like a book.
Our bimetalic commissioners will be
given full credit for all they accomplish in
Europe, but the applause will not begin
until there are some visible returns.
Photographs of Murderer Durrant are to
be offered for sale in order to raise funds
for further delaying justice, and there are
enough maudlin fools at large TO guarantee

ais railroad. Shoveling rich Kansas dirt

gratifying because the growth of business
and public Improvements has more than
kept pace with it.
Let the beet sugar people pour out the
Walls of their wrath on the head of SEN
ator Vest. Mr.. Vest says he threatened
the Republicans with protracted debate if
they insisted on the bounty amendment.
We are confident that if Governor Esk-
ridge, of Emporia, would go down and take
an occasional plunge in the cool, limpid
waters of the majestic Cottonwood he
would eventually recover from those fast
mail rabies.

the late Kansas legislature did not spend
very much money. There is a pretty gen.
eral understanding that the PopuIist mem
bers took in a good deal more money than
they paid out.
The official report that Kansas City has
consumed an unusually large amount of
beer and tobacco in the last year will
tempt other cities to increase their con-
sumption. Kansas City is leading the pros
perity procession.

The government pays about 10 cents for
