the route of the road through McPher-

a secret meeting as having been neld
at Topeka by a number of Republican
politicians, the object of which was to
eliminate machine methods from poll
tics in Kansas. Their object is a most
worthy one, but their methods are Ger
tain to fail If carried to it's ultimate
purpose of forming an organization to
fight machines and bossism it would
simply be one machine arrayed against
another, or one set of bosses lining up
against another The only way to
eliminate objectionable machine rule,
which Is equivalent to personal bossism
for selfish purposes, is for the people
to put their trust in the hands of men
who have the manhood and the cour-
age to smite the schemes of the bosses
hip and thigh whenever they deem
them detrimental to the interests of the
party and OF the public. Sometimes
the bosses are working for the good of
the people. and when such things hap
pen their work should not be spoiled
simply because they are dubbed
bosses There should be a little
horse sense used in the endeavor to re-
lieve practical politics of its humbug
and chicanery, and the present Repub-
lican machine, or rather the method
by which it is operated, should be elm
mated before it utterly destroys the
party

he rebelled and has been having all
kinds Of funny fits since, ranting at the

had he stuck closer TO his Sunday
school and not got ofice-hungry, only

now be denouncing the movement he is
aligned with as an unwholesome thing
for Republican party interests. The
fellows who get into office by the puIi-

the other fellows and of late they have
in Kansas shown themselves to be more
treacherous and fully as machiney as
the old machine was and as result
the old machine has been reinstalled.

Leland wing of the party. Now the fell

THE MARKETS.

Vegetables were never finer than
they are now though it was feared
some weeks ago that they would be
scarce and high. Raspberries are
plentiful, and nice ones sold ON
Tuesday at three boxes for quar-
ter. Up to that time ten cents a
box was the lowest they had been
sold. Spring chickens also have
had full and fair sized one and
selling at 90 cents a pair. Other
products are bringing the usual
price. Huckieberries are plentiful,
notwith standing the prediction that
the crop would be failure. About
forty wagons stand in market now
every market day. billions hot
house tomatoes are in great demand
at 90 cents box, and the supply is
not sufficient.

OANNAS.

Last year and this, many people
have complained that their cannas
were not doing as we'll as they had
done previously. Giant cannas that
ought to be six feet high now, are
only half that high, and are not
growing. The writer has given at
tention to cannas for the past six
years, and he concludes that the
failure of his own plants is because
Of planting them in the same soil
year after year. They require fibre
in the soil, and this has been ex-
hausted. A liberal wetting with
liquid manure will help them. Next
fall the top soil should be taken of
and replaced with old sod and man
ure. This is the opinion of Mr.,
Runyon, an expert on such matters
at Dillon's Green houses.
