EN- ROUTE.

In his own picturesque way Colone
Wa..terson fn-a,ahe,bws conditions which
may be surely counted upon as bound
to occur as result of the recent com.
plete triumph of the republican party.
AS usual the colonel does not mince
words. He says: GAS the democrats
are cast down by the result of this cleo
ton, so will the republicans be elated
and thrown off their guard. They will
fancy they have the world in sling.
They are certain to proceed to excuses.
They can not restrain their zealots or
their scamps. All the clever rogues Of
the times, seeing where the pickings and
stealings lie, have got into the republi-
can party. The new territories are
veritable gold mines of pillage. Acts of
outrage can not herepressed or escaped.
The people at home will stand aghast at
the riot of corruption and depotism. /"
If the prophecy made by Colonel Wat
terson should happen to lack fulfill
ment, then would the most remarkabl
political miracle in the annals of the
world have been performed.
Men who, like the editor of the
Courier Journal, remember how the re.
publican party, when it was in undis.
puted pos session of all the branches of
the federal government in Grants time,
was the begetter of saturnalia of rob-
berry, carried on by its carpetbag thieves
who looted the treasures of the recon-
structed governments in the southern
states, eau logically believe that SINH
lar crop of crimes will grow out of the
recent successes of the same party.
Already, in the first four years of Mr..
McKinley's presidency, we have wit
messed repetition in kind of the Whis-
ky Ring, the Credit Mobilier and rotten
navy jobs of the days when Zach Chand-
Ter, Oliver P. Morton, Thad Stevens,
"Smiler" Colfax, "l.aundanlet" Viii.
liams, Robeson, Babcock and men of
their ilk had charge of the republican
lmachine, by seeing the scandalous job
Pbefy and swindling that was exhibited
in the exorbitant prices of unseaworthy
transports by Alger and his coterie, in
the Oberlin NJ. Carter revelations and in
the Rathbone and Nelly defalcations in
Cuba.
An era of extravaganza in public ex-
penditures and of looting and piltering
by appointees of the administration is
promised, nay, impending during the
next few years which will make some
of the past performances of the repub-
lican party in these lines look by com.
parison like rigid economy and petty
larceny. Mark the prediction.-Kansas

Thoughts at Thanksgiving
FoR THE REpoRTER.

49,
II the world seems cold 10 you
Open hearts will warm 1t;
Till their brightness hides from view
Icebergs that deform it.
Sowing, cheering with thy might,
Hearts grow glad pursuing;
Keep your courage FURNISHED bright,
Sc fishneSS, reviewing.
II your friends to foes should turn.
As your fires burn lower;
Let your friendship brighter burn,
Cheer some sister sower.
To your table gather round
Some sad hearted brother;
TIL apksgiying praises may rebound
Cheering one another.
