Horton Commercial: A
ABOUT
KANSAS.
Horton man who owes
.,.,.,I,rA-, tvV Aovtn and

says he Is glad that the United states
will not sacrifice her national honor.
Wichita Beacon (Dem.): The funni-
est thing in politics is the Topeka Capi-
taPs support OF John SeatOn's candidacy
on the ground that he voted for the text
book law.
Wichita Beacon (Dem): About all
the interest felt in the approaching Re
publican State convention at Hutchin-
SON is to see how slick the resolutions
will straddle prohibition.
Kansas City Star: The appearance
yesterday of Gen. j. X. Hudson and
Governor Leedy on the same platform
at Topeka will serve notice on Spain
that she will have to face united Kan
sas.
Clay Center Times (Rep.) There
never was more than shadow OF rea-
sonabIe excuse for the existence Of the
Republican State League and in seeking
the substance the shadow fed and now
1t is dead dead, dead.
Kansas City Tribune (Rep): There is
one consolation in the appointment Of
Col Bill Street to the State Board Of
Charities. He Is honest, even II the
fellows did guy him about that hundred
dollar bill that was put in his hat.
Osborne Farmer (Rep.): An insane
man in the Topeka asylum imagines he
Is a nobleman Of royal blood and insists
that the attendants always drop on their
knees when he approaches. This usur-
patton will be apt to make Abe Ellis hot.
Manhattan Republic (Pop.): Ed Lit
tie resigned his Office as private secre-
tary TO Gov Leedy and has gone to the
war, to fight for his country, while two
for O cent Republican editors, who never
thought Of enlisting, are abusing him in
every issue Of their measly sheets. They
ought to be ashamed Of themselves and
cork up their Vitrlol, aC least until he
returns home.
Clay Center Times (Rep): Major
]. K Hudson was appointed brlgadler
general of volunteers last Friday and
the whole State seems to be rejoicing.
Out this way, however, amidst the re-
jOlcing there is Just shade OF regret
among Republicans that he is not cap
tain general of the Capital without In
structions during the war, until after the
election at least
Cottonwood Falls Reveille (Pop.):
Superintendent Of Insurance Webb Nc
Nails recommendation for a system of
State insurance is exactly to the point.
His report shows that millions have
gone out Of the State more than were
returned by way OF losses. A system Of
State insurance would stop the bleeding
OF the Kansans to pay insurance officers
from $4,000 to 100000 apiece pei an
mum.
Wichita Beacon (Dem): The LeaV-
enwOrth Times warns the Republican
party at the Hutchinson convention that
1t would better indorse Mckinley, pro-
lection, gold standard and the war with
Spain and quit. The less the Repub-
lican party has to say about State Ques-
tlons the better. II Mckinley can't pull
EN- through their chances are slim. It
ts q disgraceful State record indeed that
the Republican party wants to keep con-
cealed and the Times gives good polit-
ical advice.
Dave Leahy, in Kansas City Times:
II read good deal in your paper about
$1.S5 wheat and the instability Of the
silver dollar" said Dan O'Connell, q
Hibernian Populist to the editor Of the
DightOn Herald, the other day, as he
laid down bushel of wheat and silver
dollar on his exchange table. (Which
do you want for years SuDscrlptlon?"
he continued. The gold editor made a
grab for the silver dollar like a Cuban
TeconCentrado would grab for loaf Of
bread. Dan now takes great delight In
reading the wheat and silver" articles
In the Herald. He likes humor.
Kansas City Times: When Sterne. as
the leader Of the Hessln forces, saw what
Edwards had done, he realized that
Stanley would be nominated and he
rushed forward to his support, hoping TO
get into the Stanley camp before Le-
land. He was mistaken, however, in
suppOSing that Leland was asleeD. The
