Trouble is brewing in the Populist camp.
There are mutterings of discomfort over
the action OF Attorney General Boyle in
putting in an application for membership
in the Topeka Club. Senators Forney and
Hart think it dreadful and have started
movement on foot with a view of having
Boyle withdraw his application. They say
that it would never do for the Populist at
tornev general of prohibition state to join
the Topeka Club. 1t would divorce the
party from the prohibition vote. They are
evidently jealous of Boyle because he is
seeking better company than he can find
in the party which elected him.

Considerable has been said already of this
family snap affair. not only in the press,
but also by the Pops who burned their
clothes last fall in the interest of the
cause-and a hope of getting office. But
the thing still continues and is likely to
do so until the supply of places runs out,
for there seems to be an overproduction of
relatives in Kansas. as we'll as of isms.
The non-relative Pop pie hunters are ex-

which they were after being dshed out
to relatives, and to appease their wrath the
ones in power explain that they were
afraid to trust themselves alone in big
town and had to bring along their families.

London meant the giving up of

of which was filed up with most
important episcopal engagements.
Actuated, therefore, by a high sense
of duty, Bishop Temple declined to
go, saying it was impossible for him
to comply with the emperor's re-
