Our Next Representative

Emil Grosser, Republican candi-
date for representative for the 6lst
district. composed Of Dickinson
county, resides at Enterprise aud is
one Of the promising young men of
central Kansas. He is Of German
descent and is the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. +. F. Grosser, his father being a
leading lumberman at Enterprise. He
was born in Chicago December 10Th,
| 1866. and came to Kansas in 1873,
his parents locating in Enterprise,
Dickinson county. He spent his boy
hood 'on a farm, was educated in the
schools Of this county until young
manhood when he, became one OF
Dickinson's most efficient teachers.
He was principal Of schools at Dillon
and Carlton and won praise for his
successful work during the five years
he was engaged in the profession. He
completed his education in college,
getting thorough training that we'll
equipped him for the duties Of life,
and has since been engaged in bust
ness in Enterprise.
He was brought up as a Democrat
but early in his studies found that the
tendency Of the Democracy in Kansas
toward free silver and other financial
heresies was suicidal. In 1894 he led
the bolt in his county convention
against fusion and in 1895 and in the
preliminary conventions of 1896
fought against the free silver move
ment and fusion. 1t was in vain and
he decided that party that was
bound to free silver and free trade
was not entitled to his support. One
day he was in Abilene and announced
that he would be glad to say a few
words at Republican meeting being
held in the wigwam. He was given
place on the program and electrified
the large audience by clear, logical
and eloquent presentation Of the is
sues Of the campaign and a strong
practical argument for sound money.
He made several other speeches in
campaign and then was sent out
under the direction of the state CEN
trail committee, making one OF the
most effective Republican speakers
heard during the memorable contest
This year he was nominated by the
Republicans Of his county for repre-
sentative and has made strong can
didate. His record as a student, his
ability on the stump or platform, his
and his clean, manly life
marked business qualifications and
studious habits all fit him for the
duties Of the position. He is looked
upon by his acquaintance as one OF
the coming young men OF central
Kansas and they predict that he will
make state reputation as a legislat-
or. He has ability, brains and push
and will have the votes to elect him
by handsome majority when the
time comes.
A vote for Grosser is vote for q
worthy candidate.

The Chicago Chronicle offers a solution
of the problem of how negro workers for
the administration may be rewarded for
their services without risk to their skins.
Instead of rewarding the negro politi-
clans with postoffices in the South" saws
the Chronicle, 'let them be assigned to
federal positions in states like Pennsylva-
MIA, Massachusetts and Iowa where Re
publicanism Is rampant" But what rea-
son has our contemporary for thinking
that the blacks would be better received
in leading federal positions in the states
named than they are in the South? Does
not the Chronicle know that race prejudice
Is as strong in the North as in the South
if not stronger? Was there not an extra
ordinary effort to force the black mem.
Der of council of the Governor of Massa
chusetts out of Office only a short while
ago? Is il not a fact that the Northern
people object to mixed schools about as
etrenuously as the Southern people do?
Has II not been noted i'm the public prints
that Northern people haYe fallen into The
habit of lynching black men for just such
reasons as they are lynched in the South?
At the same time. il might be worth try.
ing to have the colored ofiiceholders quar-.
tered upon The North. INDEED, we have
ourselves suggested that something of the
kind be done.

An Interesting Question.

Some of the Western papers are having
little fun at the expense of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison. The ex-President, it will
be remembered, has always contended
that a protective tariff is not burdensome
to the people of this country because, as
he claims, it is the foreigner who pays the
duty.
Some days ago Mr.. Long. the Secretary
of the Navy. addressed letter to
Congress in which he asked that a bill
be passed permitting war material to be
brought into the country free of duty
Now, If the foreigner pays the duty ex-
President Harrison ought to arraign the
Secretary before the country for doing a
very unpatriotic thing. Why prevent the
foreigner from paying the duty on the
war material which we import?
1t is just possible that the foreigner
doesn't pay the duty-at least the great
majority Of the people believe he doesn't
And Secretary Long believes he doesn't.
Hence he has gone to Congress to have
the duty lifted from the war material
which the navy department wants TO pur-
chase abroad. Theory doesn't always
prove to be satisfactory when put into
practice.

4 story of Parena Rosa.

A writer in the San Francisco Call re-
lates an interesting incident of Parepa
Rosa's trip across the plains in 1866. The
party in the stage coach consisted of Pa
repa Rosa, her maid. Carl Rosa, De Vivo,
two Mormons and the narrator. One of
the Mormons was laxative; the other is
remembered as the Silent Man. 1t was a
glorious moonlight night. Suddenly, when
the coach was miles away from any
where" a wheel tire broke. The driver,
says the Call writer, walked sulkily about
his coach. The suggestions of the passen-
gers availed not. Gloom settled down like
heavy fog over all, and at last we were
silent, having exhausted our ideas.
Suddenly, upon the still night air were
waited The sad, sweet strains of Ben
Bolt" and Parepa Rosa threw her soul
into it, and sang as though an enthusi-
astic audience were awaiting to break into
rapturous applause.
She stopped with a laugh. "At least,
let US make the best of i'll" she cried, in
her jolly way
The pause which ensued was broken by
the Silent Man.
Gosh! that was greatly he said, in slow
accents.
But the rest of us found 1t impossible to
rise to the situation.
Il ken mend that wheel" continued the
Silent Man. after a moment, IAN I'll do
it. Mrs. Rosa, if yerln sing all the time
Pm workin'"
oh will! willr' cried Parepa Rosa.
It'll take me pretty nigh all night
said the Silent Man, after a brief ex-
animation of the damage; "but I'll do the
work if you'll do the singn'"
We all applauded, and the compact was
made. With the air of an expert the
Silent Man started work. 1t was soon evil
dent that he was master mechanic, and
we clustered around and watched the
skillful work
within Mile of Edinboro' Town." 81
Dreamt That Dwelt in Marble Halls,''
arias from "The Bohemian Girl and
snatches of oratorios, song after song
rang through the still night for the bene-
mt of very small audience and when
the singer paused the Silent Man, lacking
inspiration, also rested. The more he lik-
ed her selection, the harder he worked,
and he progressed so rapidly under the
strain of Il Know That My Redeemer
Liveth' that it brought a triple encore
The moon sank down 10 the horizon:
the first faint, cool flush of dawn broke
in the West.
Oft in the Silly night,
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me
Fond memory brings the light
OF other days around me
sang Parepa Rosa.
Great" drawled the Silent Man.
We'll were all hunky dory I guess I've
earned my concert, and you've earned
your ride, Mrs. Rosa"
"All aboard" shouted the driver
Into the coach scrambled the men. back
INTO her seat sank Parepa Rosa with a
sigh of relief, and with a crack of the
whip and sudden jolt, on we rolled to-
ward Salt Lake City.

Train Held Unil the Hen Laid An

There is no better known local character

to the wind-burner was nearing my desti-
nation when it came to a dead standstill.
l stuck my head out of the window to
learn the cause of the stop, and saw the
conductor talking to an old woman with
bonnet and shawl and Sunday toggery on
and small basket in hand.
Being curious to know ther import of
the dialogue between the two / went
forward and learned that the woman had
tagged the train for the purpose of get
ting on board and going on TO town
to sell dozen eggs. She told the conduc-
tor however, that she had only eleven in
the basket at that moment, but that an
old blue hen of hers, then on the nest.
was molnentarily expected to lay the egg
necessary to complete the dozen; that it
would be a great accommodation if he
would hold his train until this should oc-
cur, as it would be a pity to proceed to
market with fewer than a dozen eggs
The conductor consented, and then our
wait began.
Finally, after the lapse of about TWEEN
ty minutes, furious cackling was heard
I,ox - 81,
a blue hen fluttered into view, followed
by the old lady, who came running to-
ward the cars, smiling and holding aloft
in triumph the coveted egg. She placed it
while il was yet warm in the basket with
the others, thanked the conductor and
clambored aboard. Then the train again
got under way
