As Kansas Sees Us.

The people of Florida-God bless
them-are the most hospitable on
earth. They are not only hospitable,
but intelligent; and strange as it may
appear to prejudiced, ignorant ana
hide-bOund northern haters of southern
manhood and w0manhood, they are
patriotic. The Fourth of July in Flor
ida receives more heartfelt, patriotic,
private and public respect than Kan
sas, whose lippy profession of patriot
ism stultifes true honor by esteeming
support of the republican ticket a guar
antee of loyalty to the flag.
Who ever in Kansas saw a process

people, and, as Old Glory moved Dy.
