PROSPERITY AND POLITICS.

Baltimore Sun.
1t is difficult to tell what goes"
in politics. Fifteen years ago the Kan
sas or Iowa statesman who did not
travel In a farm wagon and appear
occasionally in overalls, with breeches
tucked In his boots. was considered
either a "molly-coddle," or tool Of
Wall street. Nowadays there Is so
much prosperity in that part of the
country that automobiles are as com
mon. 1t is said, as prairie schooners
used to be. The wellto-do Populist
takes as easily to motor car as to
whiskers. This is great country and
n very interesting one.
