ABOUT
KANSAS.
Kansas City Times:
There must be something


joins the operation Of the laws Of the
State until he goes to that health resort
Rich society has terrible influence over
the average Federal Judge.
Hutchinson Gazette: What has become
of that Republican yell about the inefi-
cheney Of Kansas military officers? It
must have hurt somebody, probably the
poor fellows who had the responsibility
Of choking 1t off so suddenly.
Beloit Call: The present administra-
tiOn has conducted the affairs OF the
State with such scrupulOus honesty and
admirable business ability that the Re-
publlcans can find no weak point for at
tack
Lawrence World (Rep): II Charley
Curtis has a pull at Washington suffici-
ent to have the Twenty-third sent to
Santiago, why did he not have pull
enough to send the Twentieth to Manila,
or the Twenty-frst and Twenty-second
to Porto Rico?
Kansas City Times; The Republicans
are using a stereOtyped report Of the
Doodle investigation of the Legislature
through the columns Of their papers, In
every case where there was supposed
Doodle their own members voted with
the alleged boodlers. 1t Is strange what
lack OF sense they show in adopting such
methods.
Abilene Monitor: Now that the negro
troops from Kansas are on their way to
Cuba explanations will be in order. How
is 1t that the last we mustered In are the
first to see service? There Is no doubt
that these men are good soldiers but 1t
is political move that will react on the
party in power in the nation and will
cost 1t dear in this State
MarysvlIle Advocate and Democrat
There Is one reason why every Repub-
lican nominee should be downed at the
coming election that should be sufficient
II 1t stood alone. No member Of a party
that has villihed, abused and slandered
our State troops as have the Republi-
cans should receive the support Of sim
gle self-respecting Kansan.
Beloit Call: The Leedy administration
has done nothing that is not before the
people. The newspapers of the State
have had daily record Of It's work since
1t was inaugurated. It has done more
things that were made public than any
previous administration in the history
OF the State. The voters Of the State
propose to continue such an adminis>
tration two years longer.
Beloit Call: The Republicans are see
ing the handwriting upon the wall In the
great wisdom the Populists over the
State are displaying in nominating
y tickets which are consolidating all the
silver forces for the fall campaign. These
things greatly annoy the gOldites and
they are floundering about like lobster
out OF water. The free silver Demo-
cratic forces OF the State in convention
nominated the Popullst ticket from top
10 bottom. The Populists In return for
such high favor are recognizing silver
Democrats in county nominations all
over the State. Thus the forces Of re-
form are being welded together for the
Sight that bodies no good for the Repub-
lican corruptiOnist
Wichita Commoner: The Republicans
In this State refuse to remain neutral
when there is any difficulty, real or i'm
aginary, between the Populists and Dem
ocrats. They constantly offer their SER
vices as arbitrators. Two years ago
when the Democratic party had swal-
lowed the Populists" the Republicans OBJ
jected and took the side of the abused
Populists. Now they have IL that the
ocrats, and again the Republicans OBJ
Populists party has swallowed the Dem
ject They are always to be found ON
the side Of the weak and the oppressed
They are greatly distressed and worried
over the thought that the Populists are
not going to fairly divide the offices
with the Democrats this year.
Cove County Advocate: There will be
some material changes made in the stock
business in Cove county this year
Stockmen are becoming convinced that
\ 1t does not pay to keep mixed herds,
( cows and steers together. A good many
cows and heifers are being imported and
