JABS FROM JERRY'S BAYONET.

We really think that Mckinley is doing
very unwise thing keeping down the price of
wheat If he doesn't hoist it soon, he had
better look out. We would advise him to
cause another drought i'll Europe and India in
the near future.
curious thing about the party of special
privileges is that, while it pretends to think
that it is necessary for us to govern the Filipi-
nos, it denies that we Eve, the people, are
capable of governing ourselves; for does it not
deny the principle of direct legislation? When
the Republican leaders say, "we, the people,"
they mean a very exclusive set.
We can hardly wait for the campaign of 1900
to roll around-we are so anxious to see Mark
Hanna, Attorney-General Griggs, P. M. G.
Smith, Steve Elkins, Sugar Trust Root and
our own Bowersock dancing on an antitrust
plank in the Republican variety show. Talk
about the Cherry sisters! They won't be in it.
We warmly synpathize with the devoted
band of communists who have been driven
from their homes in Ruskin to select new
abode. They have discovered the obstacles
which human nature presents to their scheme
of reform, but they are not disheartened.
We desire to congratulate them upon the noble
example they are presenting of unselhshness
and self-sacrifice in behalf OF a cause.
The voice OF Bowersock antitrust vice
president of trust, has been strangely silent
of late 1t is to be feared that he may have
copied the example of Midas: looking III the
glass, saw his ears, anG decided that his vocal
organ is one better suppressed. He reminds us
of what the Irshman said about his friend:
that whenever he opened his mouth, he put
both feet in it. Bravo, thou Bowersock! You
arc doing we'll Just keep silent while longer,
and there is a chance that the people may for
get the kind of hide you wear.

General Blairs name is written upon the

a resident of Fl. Scott, and there occupied po-
stions of honor and trust He moved from TT.

orable service in the cause of his country. He

STANLEY VS.. CHURCH.

Governor Stanley and Insurance Superintend-
ent Church have "come together" Church has
been doing the things for which McNall was
ousted- sending out "road agents" to examine
insurance companies, and allowing the 'road
agents" to keep The money. Somebody called
Stanley's attention to the matter, and he decid-
ed that the thing didn't look just right i'll the
light of the ousting of McNall, so he said the
"road agents" must pay the money into the
state treasury. Church said there was no law
compelling the payment of the money into the
treasury, and he declared that the examiners
should keep the money. Stanley clustered
about for while but finally surrendered--and
the money won't 60 into the treasury.

MISS NANCY STANLEY has on her war paint
again, and says that the "Klondke" saloons
must be cleaued out. This makes the third
declaration of the kind he has made, and the
saloon men laugh in their sleeves and continue
to do business. They say they are not afraid
of Stanley; that he doesn't dare to modest
them; that they propose to go into politics and
seethat the Republican party puts up the kind of
candidates that suit them (the saloonists), and
the church people will support the nominees,
regardless Stanley may clean out these hell
holes. but he must show us before we beIieve it.

ANOTHER SPECIAL SESSION,

Cy Leland says (and what Cy says "goes, y
with Stauley,) that a special session OF the
legislature should be called for the purpose of
appropriating money to bring the Twentieth
Kansas volunteers home from San Francisco, so
the railroad companies will not have to wait
for their money. Cy is very soicitous for the

SENATOR HARRIS says elections occur too OF
ten in this country for the public good He
thinks the term Of office should be longer,
That would be all right if we had the impera-
tive mandate. Then we could impeach, or re-
call, an official who was false to his truss, and
fiji his place with another man. AS it is, the
terms of office are now too long. man who
plays the people false should be gotten rid of as
soon as possible If all official is true TO his
constituents, he can be reelected. We believe
that until we have the imperative mandate, the
terms of office are long enough.

Cleveland, o., June 24.-The action of

the men last night an amended resolu-
ton instead of submitting to them the
original proposition of the railway COM
pany is causing delay in the final set

amended proposition signed last night

decided to stand by the companys own
proposition. The differences are slight,
but the company feels it can not recede
from the position already taken. There
fore, it was announced that it must be
the company's proposition or nothing.
This stand means further negotiations
