After a months relaxation from
the tolls of Journalism, we again en-
sconce ourself in the sanctum and
poke our editorial legs under the
table, and assuming the gravity and
sage aspect netitting the quill-pusher
of SO great moral and political force
as the WORLD, we resume the duty of
discussing the whole scope of affairs
which interest our newspaperreaders.
Great things have tranSpired in the
last month concerning which we
should have been delighted to have
aired ourSelf. But the war went on
anyway and we are magnanimous
enough to admit that it could not
S have. been conducted better if we had
been right here to have helped with
our weighty and valuable advice You
have heard perhaps that General Rob
ert E. Lee said that the great and
fatal mistake of the southern confed-
eracy was in putting all the generals
admirals, and strategists of the south
in charge of the newspapers and the
second and third class fellows il
charge of the armies and navies. Gen
s was made in the north. and we some
times have been led to think that il
is being done ia this war, but. deal

Speaking of the long delay of the
Kansas troops at Frisco. the Call of
that city says, 1.-The truth is that
while the Kansas regiment are SPLEEN
did fellows and have the making of
magnificent soldiers. they are not yet
made. or even half made So lar as
the privates are concerned, they are
perhaps as we'll drilled as the average
of the militia regiments composing
the volunteer army, but the officers
are yet lacking in familiarity with
their duties 1t is known that even
the rawest of troops may put up a
good fight when they are led by offic-
ers who know their business, but the
very best drilled and seasoned troops
will go to pieces if they are not prop
erly commanded. Some of the Kan
sas officers are proficient, but the ma
/ iority of them are as ignorant of mill
tary tactics as the privates under
them. The regimental officers are
fine men, there can be no doubt of
that, but unfortunately they have had
no experience and must learn on their
own account from the army primer
up. Now that Colonel Funston, with
the prestige of having fought two
years in the Cuban army. is in com
mand. the Kansas regiment will like
~ get more standing than it hitherto
I enjoyed.

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

The reformerS make Il great deal of
capital out of what the superintend-
ent of insurance has done for the peo-
pie of Kansas by his fight against the
greedy corporations. If there is a
Populist in the state who can produce
a single individual who has been bene-
fitted by reason of lower rates or bett-
er insurance to the amount ofo cent
we Will add like amount to buy
medal for the astute superintendent.
There were few men who lined their
pockets by reason OF the raids upon
the companies, among whom were the
alleged examiners sent out, but who
knew no more of the business they
were about than the average barefoot
urchln who runs the tstreets. and a
few attorneys who secured fat fees in
mighty scaly cases. The reform that
neither reduces the cost of insurance
nor increases its value is scarcely
worth as much attention as has been
given it by the politicians of the state
N eSS County News.

Joe Letters collapse is but another
illustration that man cannot contend
successfully against the great basic
law of commerce of supply and
demand. In some respects the plunger
is like the populist. He thinks that
with his money he can change the
laws of trade-as the political dreamer
thinks he can do by legislative inter
ference.

In evidence of the changing nature
of the Populist organization, we quote
recent interview with Judge Right
mire, who was the populist nominee
for chief justice in 1890. ''Of all the
nominees of the Populist state ticket
in 1890, not one is supporting the Popul
list candidates of today. OF all their
present candidates, only two. Auditor
Morris and Treasurer Hefiebower, vot-
ed the Populist ticket in 1890. Some
of the Populist ticket of to-day never
voted for a Populist until they went
upon the ticket two years ago as a con-
sequence of an unholy alliance with
Democracy. There is not in the Pop
ulist platform of to-day plank that
may be found in the Populist plat
forms of the first eight years, with
the single exception of the free coin
age of silver, in which no populiSt
really believes. *. G. Star.

A group OF storytellers were talking
OF old frontier days IN Kansas aud Ok
lnhoma, when Sidney Clark, three
times member Of congress from Kan
sas, said:
"One OF the most remarkable Incl
dents that ever came to my knowledge
was in 1857 Col Leavenworth, son
OF Col L.eavenworth, who established
Fort eavenworth, had an extensive
acq aeintance among the Indians who
inhabited Western Kansas, and often
would 20 alone t1 visit them. lie left

and was surprised one day when Col
Leavenwortn appeared on the floor Of
the house, leading the bewildered lit
tie girls, who were dressed In faded
little calico dresses. They became a.
once an object Of great curiosity. Wo-
men OF Washington caressed and
fondled them, aud tue etory OF their
misfortunes touched the hearts OF
many mother. 1t was proposed at
ouce that they be granted out Of the
Indian fund enough money for their
education and maintenance until they

no names, so we called them Helen
Lincoln and Heloise Lincoln. The
Senate reduced the bill TO $4,000 and
Il was passed The little girls were
put in an orphans asylum at Washing
ton, where they received an excellent
education. One OF them became ar
accomplished musician. Both were
married afterward TO desirable nus
bands and when I last heard Of them
about three years ago, they were liv
