Judging from the reports
published in the daily papers,
the first gun Of the campaign
at Topeka last Saturday was
a big event. 1t was a rainy
day but the crowd was ire
mendous, and the enthusiasm
great. The principal speak
ers were w. III. Craddock and
J. ID. Botkin, candidates for
governor and congressman at
large, and Mayor JAS. A.Reed,
of Kansas City. Those who
are in touch with the progress
being made by the state can
didates feel very confident of
success. Even the republi-
can headquarters are reduc-
ing their figures materially.

THE editorials which appeared in tie
Boston Herald, Kansas City Star,
Chicago Chronicle, Detroit Free Press,
and several other papers, criticised Mr..
Bryan's editorial commenting on Mr..
Cleveland's speech at the Tilden dinner.
These papers are quite bitter in their
criticism of Mr.. Bryan's position, but
they are so much milder than the ed
itorals which appeared in the same
papers denouncing Mr.. Bryan in
the campaign of 1896 that he
really feels that he must be ris-
ing somewhat in the estimation of
their editors It is not strange that
the papers that went out of the party
with Mr.. Cleveland should desire to
transform the party into a Cleveland
reorganization, but they Will not sue
ceed.-Bryan's Commoner.

IT may he part of the policy and deep
laid schemes of the republican machine
to keep the party organs muzzled until
later on in order to make the candidates
more pliable and to spIlng them more
forcibly on the unsuspectlng voters on

is abroad the machine cares snap for
the entire party ticket so the pet candi-

appropriation, the Botkin ap-
preparation, the executive
mansion grab, the useless Of
fees created to make room for
old political barnacles who
are too trifling and onery to
make an honest living-with
all these things staring them
in the face-Leland and his
satellites have the monument
al gall to boast over the rec
ord of the last legislature
and ask the people to endorse
it. Just think of it! The
most extravagant legislature
in the history of the state!
Valuations and tax levies in
creased, and yet a deficit Of
more than 100000 in the
state treasurer and a self con-
fessed embezzler to take
charge of that! If the voters
of Kansas are willing to take
this dose, they are about
ready to open the doors of
our jails and penitentiaries
and become the prey of those
who live off of the industry
of others.

It is a hard strain on a man,
it would seem to us, to run
for congressman and senator

what respect the duties of

Mr.. Smiths work and that of

any honest man that Mr..

We are really sorry to OBJ
serve that our friend, Judge
Fl. N. Lester, of Lake City,
has taken up the cudgel to
go after Hon. Henry Walker.
We are not sorry for Mr..
Walker, but sorry for the
Judge because he is capable
of better things. It seems
that Judge Lester has heard
of some trivial school district
gossip and he hastens to pub.
llsh it in the machine organ.
The article is without head,
end or side, and contradictory
in its parts. If it meant any
thing, it would mean that
Henry Walker was RESPONSE
BILE for all that was done and
not done, yet he was not a
member of the school board.
The article charges Walker
with opposing the building
Of a school house, yet the
Board is contracting to have
one built now. It charges
him with voting a six months
instead of an. eight months
term of school, voting bonds
and all other things done in
the district. This is mere
clap-trap. We do not de.
sire to go into any de-
Tense of Mr.. Walker because
he needs no defense. The
charges are so inconsistent
and contradictory that they
fall to pieces of their own
weakness. The Judge GER
tainly was not "at himself
when he wrote it. It is a re.
Election on his intelligence.

It is easy to make a promise
but it is sometimes hard to

learn should they be so unfor-

The statement in the last
issue of the Cresset with ref
erence to a "row" between
Judge Lacy and the Index is
another Fitch story-no truth
in it. The habit has grown
on the poor fellow SO that he

that he would tell some that

turn from him in disgust.

He was fond Of treating the village
children to candy, his favorite con-
fection being Gibraltar rock" Here
is a pen picture of him as he appeared
to the child:
His clothes were rusty and shabby,
like a poor dissenting minister's. He
was very thin and looked half
starved, partly the effect of high
cheekbones. He wore knee breeches
and CATERS and high stock. He
carried a walking stick, with which
he used to strike at pebbles. He
smoked black clay pipe. No one
would have taken him for what he
was, but he was clearly man apart
He took pleasure In looking eccen-

PLEDGE HAD NO POWER.
Could Not Keep Liquor Drlnker from
His Bad Habit.

His Bad Habit.
Very few of the old timers are now
alive to boast of having taken the
pledge from Father Mathew-"the
real pledge" as it used to be called
on account of its long formula and
its stringent wording. Nowadays the
form is simple and brief, and perhaps
to some it does not mean as much.
The clergy regard the pledge as but
an earnest of serious good inetntion
with no inherent or sacramental grace
attached thereto. Its value comes
from the individuals own self-reliant
force Of character, or from what Ro-
man Catholic theologians designate
ex opere operantis.
Whether 70 rank and file Of pledge
takers coil with such a view may
indeed be questioned. Instances re
cur frequently enough to show that
many who take the pledge seem to
regard it as possessed of special in
herent efficacy and think that it gets
in its good work irrespective of ef
fort upon the part Of the individual.
A priest who was recently convers'
ing upon this subject narrates that
not long ago a man living in his
parish came to the priests house to
take the pledge. The next day the
clergyman, walking downtown, met
his parishioner staggering woefully
along the street.
why, Thomas, what does this
mean?" he exclaimed. Weren't You
up at my house yesterday to take the
pledge"
81 was, your reverence"
"And why are you to-day in this
condition."
81 don't know, unless it be that
when you gave me the pledge you for
got to put the power in it."

Not a Chinese Word.

Its a mistake to suppose that
Joss is a Chinese word" says a re-
tired ships carpenter. I've travelled
a good bit in the Orient in my time,
and among the odds and ends of in
teresting information picked up was
knockout of the genuineness of
Joss as a Chinese word. Cinnamon
only know joss when they come in
contact with Europeans. A Chinese
priest that I became chummy with
in Hankow told me that there was no
such word in Chinese. he explained
that the word was a corruption Of
the Spanish word 'Dios' and had come
into use through the missionaries.
Many early missionaries, he said.
were Spanish priests, and their pro.
nunciation of 'Dios' was speedily cor
rupted into Joss by native tongues
and applied to the Chinese deities.
It's only on the Chinese seaboard that
the word is understood by Cinnamon.
In the interior, the priest told me,
the celestials had no knowledge of it."
