Jack, the Gun and the Skunk

And it came to pass that far out on
the street known and bespoken of bv the
tribes of the village as Lovers Lane"
there lived man OF the tribe of Vaughn.
Yea, verify, it was Jack. And being
thrifty man, being neither of the city
nor of the country, he did keep many
cows and calves; yea. and even many
chickens did he keep Selah.
And it came to pass that on the FIRST
day, he did miss one chicken: on the acc
ond day. another, and likewise, on the
third day, did he miss the third. and ms
wrath was great, darkening his brow,
even as dark as the clouds that precede
the rain,
And on the fourth day, when it was
even as the first and the second and the
third then did he scratch his head and
reyile in all manner of ways, and he did
beat upon the ground. and in loud
voice exclaim, Yea, verify, smell a rat"
Then did he betake himself to the home
of a neighhor, and, in tones of anguish
did he request the use of weapon be-
longing to the neighhor AMI known to
the many tribes as the zulu.
And on the night of the fourth day did
he load the zulu and lie in wait by the
side OF the coop IN which he did heep his
chickens confined. And he did not wait
long until from the darkness of the coop
appeared a strange vision, Black it was,
with white spots and bushy tail; and
it so happened that 1t was not rat he
had smelled, hut the animal known to
the tribes as the skunk.
And it came to pass that he raised the
trusty zulu, and, aiming skunkward. he
did pull the trigger, and the sound was
as the boom of the cannon on the walls
of the city. And it so happened that
the neighhor, who was a good man, had
kept his zulu loaded for those who were
not good, and. not knowing this, he OF
the Vaughn tribe had also loaded it.
And when the time came, and he did
pull upon the trigger, not only ont
way did it shoot, but both ways; yea,
verify, in many ways. And this being
the day before the Lords day; the next
day did the tribes take them to the syn
agogue to worship. but one there was
who was not there, for his arm was as
the joint of stovepipe so great was the
swelling thereof.
And say unto you. behold, it is not
always the gun that is not loaded that
d res the mischief but may be the one
that is loaded too much. Selah.

STRIKE CONTINUES.

Last week, we stated that the beef-packers
and their striking employees had settled their
differences and the strike was declared off; but
the ink was scarcely dry when the news came
that the packers refused to live up to their
agreement by failing to re.employ many OF the
strikers. This caused the strike to be called
on again, and larger number than before
walked out. Allied trades threaten sympa-
thetic strike Packers and strikers are getting
ready for long, hard struggle.

THE independence Times thinks the Popu-
list papers that are criticising Bryan for sup
porting the ClevelandParker gold-bug ticket
tare in mighty small business" Not SO much
so as the paper that abuses Tom Watson because
he insisted on remaining on the ticket after he
had been regularly placed there by the conven'
ton of his party. Isn't it ''small business" to
charge him with accepting brbe to stay on
the ticket, when there was no ground tor such
charge? This talk of Bryan being greater
man to-day than ever before is all poppycock.
We do not believe that he received one cent tor
going back on his former declarations. We DO
not believe that money could buy him. Mr..
BRYAN has simply placed his party first. He
annears to believe that the success of his party
is of more Importance than anything else. II
he wanted to stand by the principles for which
he has so long contended, he would have sup
norted Watson, who stands upon the only plat
torn that declares for those principles. We
',;II contend that Mr.. Bryan is traitor to his
own principles-just for paity's sake.

The chief political attorney of the greatest
Kansas railroad corporation frankly admitted
in my hearing soon after the term of cur state
senators had been changed from two years to
four years that the change had been demanded
by his company because it would save it ex-
pense in controlling the selection of majority
of the senators; and he afterward said the
change from annual to biennial sessions had
been made for the same reason.-W. H. T.

A BUTCHER was worrying, yesterday, about
the packing-house strike which has just been
settled, saying it would cause meat to 60 much
higher, causing hard times. Why should the
country be dependent on the packers combinef :
Why can't meat be slaughtered in every town.
Before the packers existed, the country got
along we'll enough. The habit of depending
on the packers for meat is the result OF con-
venience, but that is about all there is to recon-
mend it. A common abbator, used by all the
Lawrence butchers, could be established in
Lawrence, and it would pay WE'LL If the pack
ers attempted to put their meat in Lawrence at
cut.throat prices and kill the local institution,
CITY ordinance could be passed charging a
license that would hold them.-Lawrence

BILL TO LEGALlzE TRAFFIC POOLING.
Railroads Will Unite in Presenting Measure to
Congress Next Session.

From the st. Louis Republic
Congress will be asked at its next meeting to
pass bill legalizing the pooling of traffic. The
railroads OF the country are planning to exert
their strongest united effort to have such law
enacted.
AT the Republican national convention, the
pulse of senators and representatives regarding
sentiment toward such measure was felt by
men closely identified with the carrying COM
panies, and tbs 'missionary' work was ex-
tended to the Democratic national convention.
The railroads have long desired the passing
of such law, but previous efforts to bring
about that end have failed, chiefly because of
the opposition from large shippers. Having
profted by their mistake in campaigns, the
railroads will work along different lines this
time.
1t is said that they will enlist the support OF
the so called "sinall' shippers, who, led by the
late John S. Carpenter, of the Chicago board
of trade, carried on vigorous fight for years
for the enactment OF a national law which
would afford them the same degree of consider
alton enjoyed by the more pretentious shippers.
The "small' shippers organizations of the
country are we'll organized, and will unite in
their efforts to bring about the desired condi-
tions. By making certain concessions to them,
the railroads feel that they can get their support
in the movement for the pooling measure.
7. w. Midgley, chairman of the Western
Freight Association, is active in advocacy OF
the law, saying proper law would save the
railroads hundr ds of millions of dollars, put
all shippers OH an equal basis and stimulate
connection that would benefit the whole
country.

Kansas agitator., 1904-07-29

THE fact that this government is now prac..
tically on gold standard basis, and because OF
the complexion of the senate, no change is at
all probable for at least four years, the money
question could very appropriately be omitted
from the Democratic platform, as by no chance
could it become an issue in this campaign
This fact is what makes Judge Parker's tele-
gram to the convention that he is gold-stand-
ard man seem so superAuous The declaration
would have made no difference In the final
action of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Times.
Then why was it necessary to adopt any
platform at all? The tariff cannot be disturbed.
The friends of the trusts are in the saddle, and
they will stay there the next four years. The
same is true of the imperialists. In fact, the
election of Park n could not change conditions,
even if he was constrained to do so. No ques'
ton is settled until it is settled right, and it is
an issue until it is settled right. The money
question is as much an issue to-day as it was in
1896 and 1900.

Arthur Is Far From Being as
Dangerous as Has Been
Depicted.

Mukden, Dec. (6 p. m.).-There is
a persistent rumor that the force Of
japanese sent to turn Rennenkampffs'
flank. has been repulsed with great loss,
the slaughter having been administer
ed by machine gun fire, for the most
part.
It is stated the Russian general
awaited the forces of oyama at the
mouth of the river captured the passes
and when the Japanese threw them
selves against the Russian front they
found themselves in an ambuscade.
The fighting was stubbornly carried
on, and when the Japanese at last re-
tired, the Russian forces collected 500
corpses for burial, ard were proceed
ing to the interment Of the remainder
when the renewed fire from the jap
anese drove the rescue corps back. and
the estimate is made that 1900 Japanese
lay on the field when the hospital corps
and the burial detachment retired.
This estimate makes no account Of
the wounded of the japanese army. Ac-
cording to this account the Russian
loss was but 80 or 40 killed and a pro-
portionate number Of injured.
