OFF HAND OBSERVATIONS.
The Hutchinson News has under
taken a contract which II II carries
out successfully will give 1t fame US a
workerof miracles, Reference is had
to the efforts of that sheet to make u
great man out Of Chester l. Long
Foreigners at the rate of ten thous-
and week are pouring In to this
country, They come after the jobs OF
people already here and as half ofthem
are anarchists or socialists they will
only hurry tipe in this country that
ls bound to come. am afald, a time to
make angels weep and cause all hell
to hold a jubilee,
Since he fell in with John Bulls fin
anclal, imperial and tariff policies
Uncle Sam at a lively rate is going
all the British saits don't you know.
We haYe the same crazy war of conquest
and getting big army and navy and
while our Porto Rican famine is not as
big as the India famine of John Bull
ii seems to be all we have room for
on the island, When we get more
room and more half starved niggers
we can have bigger famine no doubt,
Anyhow we seem to he doing quite
we'll along these lines seeing that we
have not been in the business very
long.
The Jim Grow generals sent to gov
ern our new possessions are all imper-
ialists of course. Why not when our
imperial government furnishes them
an extra allowance equal to their sal
ariesp General Brooks In Cuba spent
5000 furnishing a palace and in the
language Of an associate press special:
He appeared on the streets of Havana
in costly and magnificent eQuipages
drawn by gaily comparisoned horses
and was attended by gorAeouly attired
footman and funbeys". All this style
was put on by authority of his royal
highness, william at the expense Of
the people who lick stamps.
A man with the courage and honesty
to stand up for the constitution In the
face of horde Of hero worshipers
bowling for its violation, "a man with the
courage and honesty to fight imperial
ism in the face Of clamor by people rat
tied by the razzle dazzle Of military
success may not De conservative"
enough to bury his dignifed personal
ity in the United States Senate, not to be
heard from till he wants to be sent
back; but such man as first above
described is safe enough to suit the
people of Kansas who will no doubt
proceed to replace conservative" med
iocrity with brilliant safety by elect
ing Jerry Simpson.
One of the strongest points in favor
of the probability Of some sort of an
q "evening up" scheme hereafter is the
apparent fact that the evening pro.
cess is very imperfect here. So far
as one is able to make observation
while passing through this vale Of tears
and toughness, the best hearted people
are most liable to 90 hungry, the best
people are often the greatest suffers
while the longer the bristles on the hu-
man hog the better his luck apparently
as luck is measured by the standard of
worldly success. l have grave doubts
as to whether there is literally speak
ing q fiery inferno, but l have (no
hurry about it) great curiosity to see
what will be done to a man for in
stance who collects rents from gamblers
and prostitutes on week days and de.
Clines to give up o dollar for general
good and worship in ten thousand
dollar church on Sundays. ** y
