to do me no good whatever ana 1 was

A fox, who had been having q tough
time of 1t lodging executions, gazed
longingly upon some luscious grapes,
which hung from trellis just out of
his reach. He took space on the blot
tiers Of obscure taverns where no one
ever stopped but dlummers. He paint
ed his name on fence boards where they
could be read by the COWS and sheep.
He bought large gobs of handbills and
hired guileless lad to SOW the country
with them; but the guleless lad con-
cealed the bills in the sewer and went
to witness the ball game.
He patronzed the programme far a
fair held in the interests of the INDECENT
Order of Oyster Openers, but the only
return he got was the ill-will Of the
Friendly Sons of Clam Diggers.
He tried many similar schemes, but In

The Mcpherson Republican, is in
open revolt against Chester |. Long.
Last week this bit of sarcasm
emauated from its columns:
The Republican Central Committee
Of the Big 7th District met at
Hutchinson Tuesday, touched elbows
and inspired each other. That is the
four out of thirty-seven who were
there did, and they were backed and
supported in their arduOus labors and
glowing reports by forty.aVe different
pOStmaSters and it was a grand, yea,
soul inspiring spectacle to see these
pOStmasterS embrace each other and
extend congratulations upon the
iattering conditions of-themselves.
The party will feel rejuvenated, re-
freShed and re-enliyened from such
meetings. A thousand votes were
certainly won by the enthusiasm.
The reports Of the pOstmasters were
most encouraging while the COM
mitteemen were allowed to endorse
the glowing reports. An accurate
account kept Of these show that Long
will be elected by 1888 votes over
the combined forces of Satan, Sin and
Simpson.
That is glory enough for one day.

From Mayfeld
We swere amused at reading
items from Council Hill in the VOICE
last week in reference to the Office of
county superintendent. We knew
that the POpulists have hay seed in
their hair, but we did not know that
they had whole straw stacks in their
whiskerS and their intelligence be-
+clOuded by rank growth of sunfower
stalks on the brain.
Now we think the executive CON-
mittee ought to call in this Daniel
come to Judgment" by all means and
have him dictate to the party whom
they should nominate and elect. The
only trouble in carrying out that
programme is that great many of
the electors know of a case wherein a
first grade certificate was not suf-
fcient to enable the holder to secure
his home school, "a small district school
at S35 per month. They are so foolish
as to believe that the elements OF
manhood should accompany the
certificate.
Favors granted are nOtappreciated,
how strange one should be mistreated
by Cne whom he has taken by the
hand to lift out Of obscurity.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its seyerest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing Of US
a bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her name
