country the single gold standard. In
Kansas that party is dishonest with

others, they say that party. which

Observations.

A sofa $ often used as spoonholder.
Motto of the bunko man-when in
Rome do the Romans
Nothing pleases ioafer better than
to annoy a business man.
No women who carries a watch is
sure it is correct.
When man gets beat at any game
he always says he is out of practice.
Some girls can sympathize with the
rose that is born to blush unseen.
Only small per cent. of the money
saved up for rainy days is invested in
umbrellas.
Whenever a man is elected to an Of
fee be looks around for an assistant to
do the work.
mans wife is apt to figure in the
things he attributes to circumstances
over which he has no control.
When a man first appears without
his mustache be looks as immodest as
if he had left off some of his clothes.
The wife who has perfect confidence
in her husband would be astonlshed il
she could overhear his conversation
with men friends.

LATEST FROM SANTIAGO.

There isn't very mach latest"
Shafter says he has the city conf
ple;ely surrounded; other reports say
it is feared the Spanish forces have
taken q sneak out of Santiago.
Bombardment has been continued
more ur less since last Saturday.
Tuesday Spaniards raised another
flag Of truce, 30 talk conditions of
surrender. Americans Will accept
nothing but UNCONDITIONAL sur.

Our fleet has not entered harbnr,
but is bombarding at long range
Not many Americans killed during
the past week. but coolies of Spaniards
made to eat dirt.
Powers talking" of peace, but
Spain won't say huff. And so-there

Don't Like The Common Herd.


Chester l. Long in conversation
with select few at the Carey house
in Wichita not long ago, gave as a
reason why he should be preferred to
Jerry, was that he was more accus-
toned to the ways of society than
Jerry. The time had come, be said
when member of Congress should
have gentlemanIy ways, acceptable to
foreign representatives of the nobility
abroad, that sojourn in Washington.
A member of Congress must be able
to appear well at state dinners.
He said the greatest embarrassment
for him in campaigning was the forced
necessity of mingling with the com
mon people to obtain votes. To shake
hands with every old hayseed was inn
portant but not in the least agreeable
Hutchinson Democrat.
The 'old hayseeds' will remember
this dislike of the handsome Chester
when he comes around shaking hands
again this fall.

Up to His Old Tricks Again.

Governor Leedy ought to call his
pnpulisC state convention together
again and repeat he speech in which
he declared that Mc Kinley. Sampson,
Shafter ct al, were pursuing q diily-
daily policy with the purpose OF con-
tinuing the war until after the next
election in hope of again being placed
in power ON account of their war rec
ords. And there are two or three
other copperhead speeches that We
hope the Governor will repeat at his
earliest opportunity
Isn't that impressive, logical politi-
cal argument? Almost ON par with
those jack circulars the Tribune got
ont recently. When the republican
press is driven to using that kind of
rot, to false insnuatioE and sneak
ing, cowardly misrepresentation, to
try and create prejudice against the
present state officials it is indeed in
sore straits.
In the first place, Governor Leedy
never made such a speech. He did
say that it looked like the republican
managers in The east were attempting
to prolong the war for the benefit of
those who wanted bonds issued, that
they might thus fasten their clutches
more firmly upon our people; and nine
out every ten thinking men believe
80 with him.
The Tribune's reference to "two or
three OF h &c copperhead speeches"
shows the true animus of the back
number fossil who writes it's editorials.
It proves that he is in bis second
childhood, and that. while everybody
else of the present day and age are
rejoicing that in this grand conflict
our nation is engaged ln;for human
liberty. life and enlightenment, he,
the old antediluvian, is trying again
to ring in the dead issues of quarter
of q century ago.

The most unpatriotic, nonsensical
and puerile statement wehave seen in
the republican press of late is the
claim by some putty.headed nincom-
poops that I" this is republican war"
which the United States is waging
against Spain.
