Dispatch.
Engineer Mcclellan last week exhi- |
bited his skating accomplishments to
the good people of Phillipsburg, and, |
among other things, illustrated how to

Anyone who thinks railroad mau's |
wages are anywhere near what they
ought to be, should get out of good, !
warm bed some blizzardy night and |
get up on the barn and dance around
four or five hours. That would give
him faint idea of the joys of railroad |
ing without any exposure to danger.
Down at the shops a new air machine
has been put at work that is said to do

hail with joy some machine that would
put six men work instead of taking
away employment from that many.
The Norton Champion reasons it out
that Bryan was elected president. This
is the way it is done. The republicans
predicted in the late campaign that
bank failures, commercial disasters and
intensified hard times would follow the
election of Bryan. All this has been ex-
perienGed; consequently Bryan must
have been elected. The republicans
prophesied that McKinley's election
would be Immediately followed by a re.
turn Of prosperity and confidence. Of
these, neither have appeared; therefore,
Mckinley could not have been elected.
This argument is not evidence that the
Champion editor has paresis; it is only
his peculiar way of calling attention to
the falsity, and utter worthlessness, of
the promises and predictions made by
the republicans in the late campaign.
The Topeka Social Purity League, an
