referred has turned down Mr.. Quay and
1t is not unlikely that the Senate will
uphold the committee. This gives high
hopes that justice may be done in the
case of Hon. N. B. Scott, also, and that
that gentleman may be turned out Of

not even as valid as Quay's.

TIE SHELDON EDIrIoN.

The Sheldon edition Of the Topeka
Capital made its appearance Wednes-
day morning. To anyone who has
read Rev. SheldOn's famous book SIN
His Steps" it causes no surprise. His
book even is a strong pOpulist tract,
aud the Sheldon edition Of the Capital
is as good as the turning Of the poll
ties of the Topeka daily over to the
pOpulist side Of the fence.
As illustrating the subject, under
the head "Cry for Work, f" the following
quotations are given:
"a man with q family depending
upon the strength Of his arm, hunting
in vain for q chance to work, impeach-
es our civilization"
Society owes every man a job. 1t
can discharge this debt, to a large ex-
tent, by preventing waste"
Then he goes of on the saloon evil,
but fOrgets to mention the uselessness
and extravaganza Of the rich. But be
is evidently sincere aud very ernest in
his ideas Of reform, but evide lily is in
the Kindergarten class.
On the subject Of the British-Boer
war, he copies from the Herald of
Peace, London, Eng, q speech Of John
Bright, delivered at Birmingham, June,
1888, on the Crimean war, as being ap-
propo to the South African war. The
head reads, as The War Just?" The
plain inference is, sit is not" Mr.. Shell
don could have said as much in a sin
gle sentence without the least danger
Of SCATTERING snybOdy's nerves.
On the subject Of the Philippines, he
devOtes two columns to the reproduce
ion Of Justice Brewers speech deliver
ed st Buffalo, n. Y, February 16, 1889.
The article quoted takes point blank
issue with the present administration
policy. Mr. Sheldon seems to handle
these great vital, burning subjects in a
ginRerly way that suggests q fear Of
the cry apartisanI'
Ali true men must be partisan when
It comes to the question Of right, when
wrong seems to triumph. However, the
homeopathic reinforcement Of the
cause OF righteousness is to be welcom-
ed. Some dear weak ones viii take
this sUgsr-coated kind, but would bolt
the @resl thing" Evidently, Mr. Shell
don does not belong to the Elijah
school.

Tenant and Tuliy Scott.

TuIly Scott, of Oberlin, was up to
GOOdland last week on legal business
and Tenant took occasion to make a
personal attack on him in the follow
ing dirty fashion:
"The Oberlin Eye takes this view of
Tully Scott" There was a time, not
so long ago, when Tully listened to the
Gree of pOlitics-but the spell is brok-
en- and TulIy is attending strictly and
solely to his law business. The voice
that charmed him once has lost its
power and be is out of politics for good
so he says, aud his friends are con-
strained to believe him
"Well, it's time be had quit. But he
was long time finding out that the
people did not want him. The fact is
you could take a match and whittle
out a man that would be of more use
in an Office than this fellow Scott -
GOOdlaud News, March 8.
This is a sample Of-Tennant's meth
cd of emptying his gall bladder. There
is one thing sure, Tully Scott is a
gentleman, which cannot be said Of E.
F. Tenant. The Old-timers of this
county know the artfuI dodger Of the
News, and they are we'll aware that he
lacks every principle of an honest man
and a gentleman.
His business methods are disrepUt-
able. He would roast a man for stop
ing his paper. aud make threats Of a
roast if business men withdrew their
patronage. A prominent business man
OF this city Just the other day said Il
won't give Tenant my business-he' s
a blackmailer," aud rehearsed his ex-
periance with him to substantiste it.
TulIy Scott was a landofice official,
under Cleveland, and Tenant jumped
out Of the republican fold into the
democratic camp. Tully could not be
fooled that way and did not send him
land notices, but sent them to the old
Sherman County Democrat. This &C
counts for this recent screed.
Tenant has always used his dirty
little sheet to attack and besmirch his
betters. He calls TuIly Scott, @this
fellow Scott Mr.. Scott has lots Of
friends in Goodland aud brothers of
the 4 Of P. order, and other frater-
mites and they viii resent this impu-
dence, and they ought to.
This @felloH Tenant" is like a
stranded tumblebug in an empty tar
barrel bowling through the bung hole
at a weI-dressed gentleman passing by
with the sunlight on his countenance.

rae KANSAS HIPPODROME.


The Kansas hippodrOme is in full
course. Kansas is nothing if not
breezy and exciting. There was once
John James Ingalls,, the spectacular,
the irredescent dreamer, who IoOsed
from the sounding cave Of his TOlumin-
Gus vocabulary the Eurus and NotUs
Of breezy Kansas sentiment, in the
halls Of the senate for many years
EOIus Of forensic Oratory. Then came
PETER, ''and the wind blew through
his Whiskers."
There was the breezy "Sockless Soc
rates, whose smiling, witty wiles float
ing like a Kansas breeze over the new
moWR hay, cheered and refreshed the
house. Then there was Molly Lease,
the siIken cyclone in crinOline, who,
like all other aerial things, lacked a
steering geer. She rose, she scared,
she was inflated, she collapsed and fell
down on Gotham, midst the world
amazed.
There once was "FORhorn Funston"
he was often ''stumpy," but he blew his
horn until it got out OF tune. But a
scion grew up under the shade Of the
old tree, his name was Fred, and in
the far-off Philippines he swan the
muddy Bag Bag, and set the world
agOg. He is a general now.
Now comes the Reverend Sheldon,
attempting something new, to run the
the Daily Capital as he thinks the
Lord would do. There's the champion
Of the Devil" and Ed Howe lays his
lays; he was a Globe, he's PhOebIs now,
and the Journal scoops" his rays. No
need of any fear, it's Kansas in a storm
and when the sky again is clear, the
weather viii be warm. Some stones
may fall, "with dull and siekening
thud," and when the blow is over, they
can write their names in mud"
Poor Pegasus must be tired! It's a
Kansas chariot race, la Ben Hur, and
the world crOwding the ampitheatre.
Whew, wind, wind and dust! But it's

Ual center Of the universe. Talk about

AN ECHO OF PIONEER DAYS.
The ROdy Of Ralph Payne, Killed In q
Well IS Years Ago, Exhumed and
Inferred in KauOradO Cemetery.


Thirteen years ago Monday a very
odd funeral cortege, consisting Of a
small number Of sturdy pioneers, some
seated in heavy wagons tugged along
by little bronchOs and others on horse
back, made its way from the sod house
of T. l. BlystOne, near KanOradO, to a
new-made grave at one corner Of his
homestead. There were no ceremonies
at the grave, but the remains of Ralph
Payne were deposited there, which,
after the alternating seasons of ID years
had kissed aud froze the turf above
them, were exhumed Monday of this
week and deposited in the Kanorado
cemetery.
No minister was there to offer prayer,
yet relatives grieved aud the rough
frOntiersmeu sympathized. A deep 81
lence, a tribute of a few words in be-
half Of the dead, from one whose
tongue had not been schOoled to make
a speech, and a goodbye song, borne
along by a few rough men, was all.
Ralph Payne was perhaps one Of
those young men who remembered
the Injunction Of Horace Greeley, to
go west aud grow up with the country.
Accordingly he departed from his
mother state, Pennsylvania, and came
to Sherman county, to encounter the
dangers and hardships and to reap the
harvest Of industry and hope.
The scarcity Of water on these arid
plains necessitated the digging Of
many wells, and the young man readily
found employment at this work, the re-
turns from which furthered his plans
and kept the wolf from the door.
While digging in a we'll for a neighbOr,
which had been sunk at a considerable
depth, a cave-in of sand imprisoned
him beneath its weight so that, appli-
ances for his rescue being unavailable,
six days elapsed before the body was
taken from its entOmbment.
Ralph Payne was a relative of Mr.. F.
L BIystOne. Even the history Of a
eighbOrhoOd is full Of sacrifice.

Anarohr Il Porto g.

The civilizing process in Porto Rico
does not meet with the eclat intended.
Five hundred men, constructing the
military road from Ponce to Adjutantas
came into the latter town waving flags
and carrying banners, with the inscrip-
ton: "We WOrkmen Demand Five
Cents an Hour" 1t appears that they
had been working at three cents an
hour, or from sunrise to sunset for 30
cents. Troops are held in readiness in
case Of trouble arising from the strike.
All this comes to US from San Juan
kilograms. Is this the Mckinley "be-

mark Of brOtherly love. After this the
company enjoyed the evening as they
saw best until summoned around the
we'll 6lled table. With supper over the
friends were again at liberty until the
goiDg-hOme time when all left with a
hearty hand shake, and, extending to
Mr.. and Mrs Cross their best wishes

In the same issue Of the Independ-

party given Mrs Cross, and a Mrs.

In reviewing The Early Married
Life Of Maria Josepha, Lady Stiekmey,"
the London Spectator comments On
the light In which drunkenness was re-
garded at the beginning Of the cen
fury. There was christening OF twins
and rejoicing among the neighbors,
tenants and Iaborers- "All the guests

Among the iaborers, however, that ex-
tent Of intOxicstion was not reached
which causes men to be swine" Lady

the festivities, replies: Il would have
