would be terrible for him TO be taken
off with that sin unrepented Of.
IM Cherokee County Re
crwED., publican: For ways that
uENEhAL' are dark and tricks that
are vain, the heather Chinee is not in
it with Spain.
Hutchinson Gazette (POp): The vi
sion of ex-COnfederate Generals Lee and
Wheeler in United States army uniform,
and major generals in active service, is
one that Is good for patriotic citizens to
contemplate.
Kansas City Tribue (Rep.) There is
no greater folly than the prevalent belief
that it is absolutely necessary to politi
cal success to lie about the situation.
There is nothing ever gained, and often
much lost, by making foolish claims.
Altamont White Banner (POp.): The
people furnish the money for banks to
do business on, and when the banks
break the people lose. With a system Of
postal savings banks there would be no
such losses. And there would be no
panics.
Burlington Courier (POp): Why is it
so easy for a committee Of Congress to
draft a bill at single sitting, able to
withstand all assaults against it, that
taxes the poor? Why is it that after long
and careful deliberatiOn a bill cannot be
framed to tax the incomes of the rich?
Why is such bill unconstitutional?
COncordia Kansan Pop): Some Of
the shOrt-grass editors are inclined to
be prOdigal with their advice as to how
this war should be conducted. The Kan

Fredonia Herald (Pop): The bond
holders and their emissaries are loudly
shouting patriotism. They hope by their
demagogical and hypOcritiCal bellowings
to deceive the people while they rob
them on the sly by issuing billions of
bonds. There are more crimes committed
under the guise of patriotism than by
any other means of hold-up.
New York Herald: This is no time to
places leaves, eagles or stars on the
shoulders of young and inexperienced
men merely because they are the sons
of great fathers. MOdesty would sug
gest that they at least offer to begin
where their fathers did, and prove by
ability and gallantry in the field their
title to promotion.
Kansas City Gazette: In the end it will
be found that the money that this war
costs will be we'll expended We shall
have succeeded in driving out an OBJ
jectionable and dangerous neighbor, and
in getting rid of nearly prOhibitOry du
ties on our products more of which may
yet go to the Philippines than to Cuba,
though Cuba will take three-fold what

LeavenwOrth Times: About 100000
men offered themselves as volunteers in
answer to the Presidents call for 1885,
OOO Consequently for one man enlisted
five men or more were rejected. There
seems to be made a determined and sys-
tomatic effort to separate the wheat from
