The Great Common Honest People had
hardly caught their breath from the dis
covery that Senator Harris is the friend of
corporations when they were stricken
dumb and blind in another direction. At
the reception given the new senator on
thursday night Mrs Harris appeared clad
IN royal purple, while diamonds in profu-
sion sparkled about her person. Plutocracy
Is bound to catch Populism and its strug-
giles will soon be over

The Pops are now declaring that the rail-

This talk about the free silver Repub-
licans receiving appointments from Govern
or Leedy is all rot. The only people in
Kansas who are entitled to the name
Free Silver Republicans are the e,GOO
voters who cast their ballots for Bryan
ana the free silver congressman, but who in
state and county affairs voted the Repub-
lican ticket Ed Little and Webb McNall
and r. W. Turner and D. C. Tillotson and
all the others who have had or expect to
have favors from Governor Leedy are Pop
ulists of the purest breed, albeit they are

party they burned their bridges behind
them and went into full fellowship with the
Populist party. AS well call Senator PETER
n Free Silver Republican as any of those
we have named. There ought to be some
means of getting out an injunction against
the political parties who are stealing the
name of a party with which they have no
connection.
Four Populist members of the legislature,
about whom the odor of milk pals and
corn smut and fried side meat hangs in an
unmistakable sort of way, fell easy VIC
tins to an electric belt fakir on the princi-
pal street of Topeka yesterday After each
had invested his dollar in belt the fakir
made tender little speech about the wives
which they had left at home, and urged
them to carry health and happiness 20 the
hreside by buying belt apiece for the
partners of their joy, which they did Be-
fore they got away the fakir also sold two
of them boxes of corn salve.
j. c. Post is the name of a preacher at |
Mulvane who thinks he has solved prob
lem. Last week he induced Senator PETER |
to introduce a resolution in the United |
States senate which provides that when |
ever the supreme court shall decide that |
any act of congress is unconstitutional it |
shall be the duty of the court to notify |
congress, as thespresident does with veto |
message Then, If congress passes the bill |
again, by majority vote, it shall become |
a part of the constitution. The constitu- |
tion is causing the Pops an almighty lot |
of trouble, but il statesmen like Parson |
Post can keep to the front it is only a |
question of time when it will be rendered |
harmless
Ottawa is very much interested in di- |
vorce case now being tried in the district |
court between Mr.. and Mrs. Garst, two
well known citizens. First Mr.. Garst sought |
divorce, which was denied him. Then Mrs.
Garst sued for separation and this was also
denied. Then Mr.. Garst mad his wife ar
rested on a charge of insanity. but she
was cleared, and at once brought the suit
which is now on trial. Mrs. Garst has been
married three times. Her first husband |
was DR.. voorhees,, a cousin to the Indiana
senator and her second man who shuf-
fled off with consumption very shortly aft
er the marriage. She accuses her present
husband, Mr.. Garst, with disposs essing
her of a nice property which the defunct
voorhees, willed to her.
Before the advent of the linotype ma
chine says Sol Miller, IN the course of
some anecdotes of the late ]. B. McCul- |
lagh, lit took a force of about 100 COM
positors to set type for the Globe-Demo-
crat and, of course, among so many men,
there were nearly all Kinds of people. |
When there were cases of distress or pro-
longed sickness among any of the members
of the printing fraternity in st. Louis it
was customary to post in Il conspicuous
place in the office notice giving the facts,
with an invitation to the charitably in
clined to contribute. These notices were
always written on yellow duplicate proof
paper, and to see the yellow paper hung
up, was a sure sign of II call for charity.
An athletic young printer in the office by
the name of Luke Burke had been taking
lessons in the manly art, but in an en-
counter with an antagonist much smaller
but more skillfuI than himself had been
badly beaten. He had been guyed nearly
into frenzy about the matter, and in n
state of desperation wrote out challenge
to fight anybody in the Office, sans souci
rules, for $50 side mentioning as prefer
ences two or three fellows who made more
or less pretensions to skill as bruisers, and
signed his name to il. Mr.. McCullagh often
came into the composing room, but seldom
said anything to anyone save the foreman,
but always used to carefully read all the
various notices posted on the copy desk
many of them being his own orders repro
duced in regard to changes in style and
he would always subscribe his name to
yellow paper if there was one there. On
this occasion he did the same thing. mark
