"Why don't Tiik light In to the mayor and council of Argentine like ihe KaiiMtiK Cliy papers?" prominent railroad man ItH Saturday to tin' Man on the Outside, "The Hmtih.ju has no nes to grind," replied the Man, "and a majority of Iho citizens of the young ineirop. olis voted for Ihe pre. cut mayor and council yourself mining Ihe majority so what are you crying about?" "1 know two men who are going to slop The Kepi hi. ir simply because you don't roast the mayor and council!" "Well, I'm sorry to see Tun go down just at the beginning of her lif'lh year; but she has lived three years and nine months longer than was prophesied at her birth by eminent seers of Lochlel's Warning stripe, so the Man on the Outside is not inclined lo kick. Of course, while Kansas City continues to elect none but pure and undeliled juice mixers, her papers can throw wads indiscriminately at ordinary mortals." Kegrailation el' the Farmers' Alliance.

John '1'. Morgan In Koriliu. It is a melancholy thought that the pure purposes and principles of the Farmer's Alliance should be thus abusedselli.sh politicians who have crept intuits secret counsels. There was nothing wrong or tiujii.4, unpatriotic or unwise, in this organization as it was originally established, Neither was it weak in its iu-lluence on public policy. It was a powerful organization for political resistance to legalized monopoly, lo legalized tax robbery, to trusts that sprang up everywhere to choke down business rivalry and honest competition, and to the accumulated advantages given to corporations and great combines by the legislation of the country.

It was the first grand effort of the farmers to combine in resistance to others who had combined for aggression upon them and its failure, if it is destroyed by a misplaced confidence in its political leaders, will result in weakening, if not in dissipating, an influence that would otherwise have blessed Ihe country. The sincere defenders of the people against the aggressions of monopoly, trusts and combines, armed with the control of taxation and finance will miss lie powerful support of the Alliance, when its noble mission has been degraded into disreputable hunt after office. Three Views of Labor. The, highest protectionist authorities are not agreed as to the superiority of American labor. The American Economist, the organ of the Protective Tariff league, says, "The fact that our mills and factories arc filled with English, Scotch, French and German artisans disproves the superiority of our native laborers." The New York Tribune, the thundering Jove of the protection Olympus, says, "It is acknowledged by foreign manufacturers and railroad men who have visited this country and carefully examined affairs here that the higher efficacy of labor secured by higher wages hero to a great extent counterbalances the differences in wages paid." And James (.

Blaine says, "Undoubtedly the inequalities in the wages of English and American operatives are more than equalized by the greater efficiency of the latter and their longer hours of labor." Chicago's Highest, Ruildintrs. llnrper'u Wockly. The highest building in Chicago at present (and one which is not built on the new Chicago construction system) is tin; Auditorium. Its loftiest point is 296 feet above the sidewalk. The Fair building, now almost completed, in one section measures 241 feet to the coping, and it is possible that it will be carried higher to sixteen or eighteen stories.

The now Masonic temple will measure, over all, 274 feet. This is constructed entirely on the new system. The Ashland block measures 210 feet to the coping; the Woman's temple, whose topmost stories are now being tinished, towers 200 feet from the ground; the Manhattan, 198 feet; the Monudnock, 194; the Helming Speed block, 192; the Abstract building, 190; the Chamber of Commerce block, 180; the Home Insurance, 178; the Tacoma, 175; the Northern hotel, 174; the Rookerv. 104; Music!

Kansas City already has several suburbs with liiu'li sounding names that are so dead that no real estate iijjeiit this side, of the beyond will ever be able to resurrect them. OK the many improvements that have been going on in the city this fall, (iibbs Payne's addition is keeping up with the procession. II.

Scott, the Rest cigar man, has recently built, a large addition to his house, put up a new Ktable and otherwise improved his property till he can boast, of as line property as there is in that, line addition. The old time Republican states, Iowa and Massachusetts, have re-elected Democratic governors on the eve of a presidential campaign, and the Republicans who can discover any rosy Bo-realis in that kind of a political horizon possesses the happy faculty of feeling jolly under all circumstances, and could even give pointers to Mark Now since the country is safe politically, what's the matter with getting up a good old soul saving revival to harmonize the parties. What shall it profit a few Republicans if they elect, their whole ticket, and then lose their souls? She's the lily of the valley, the bright hirI morning star, She's the of ton thousand to my soul. Majou MoKinley is much disturbed by the "constant agitation of the larill' issue in the face of the fact that if can accomplish nothing." Nothing indeed! It turned a Republican majority of eight in the House of Representatives into a minority of 170. It made a revolution in Kansas and defeated Mr.

In-galls. It elected Democratic governors in Iowa and Massachusetts two years in succession, and it gave Mr. Flower in New York 45,000 plurality. No wonder the major is willing to call it off as an issue. Hut the fight is on for next year Kansas City Star.

While it was a decided Republican victory in Kansas, three-fourths of the patriots who are claiming the credit and getting ready to put up their plates for spoils will have to retire if they want it to be permanent. It was lack of confidence in these men that, caused the landslide in 1 81)0, and it was only extreme necessity that induced the people to tolerate them on the stump this fall. They must get out of sight or the next upheaval will land the state in the Democratic party. As a general rule the line ought to bo drawn at every man who has served in the Kansas Legislature during recent years. Kansas City Star.

Last week a Kansas City, judge discharged a juryman for the heinous offense of trying to learn facts in a case in order that he might, give an intelligent decision! For a clean cut, pusillanimous fraud under the name and protection of the law, the present jury system is the A man, to make a good juryman, is not supposed to know enough to pour water out of a boot, without having the directions marked on the heel. It is very reasonable to suppose that the jury system was inaugurated to give young lawyers a compulsory audience and assist materially iu robbing the man who has the largest roll. On last Thursday Judge Alden appointed the condemnation appraisers for the Kaw river dam, which is to be built a short distance above this city by the Interstate Power and Light company. S. T.

Righam, Charles A. Ebert and W. Thompson are the appointed appraisers, and immediately qualitied and went to work. The matter is one of great importance, to the county, as the dam when built will be. able to fur nish 500,000 horse power, which can be utilized by manufactories or wherever power is needed in the two cities, and furnished at about one-third the cost of steam.

The company appears quite anxious to work the through at once. There arc just acres of farm machinery standing out in the weather everywhere you go. The season lias been a busy one and no man has waited to house a tool when he was done with it, but has hurried to bring another one jnto service and exposure. And it is the latter that brings the greatest income Jin the implement dealer this exposure. No man can now, as the season closes, afford to delay longer the work of housing his machinery.

Ontlenieii Are Like Race Horses, From Hub's Letter. They have got to be bred that, way, and you can't take the ear of even the whitest of pigs and make a silk purse. Just, notice it in some of our politicians-, and you will see how it works. Gentlemen do not necessarily come from palaces the linest gentleman I ever met was the son of an Irish peasant, who came over here, made a fortune, kept the old people at, home until there was only his mother left, and then he brought her here, because she wanted to be, with "her boy." And there was no man or woman iu this land too rich, too well-born or too fashionable to be presented to "my mother," and that was where he showed the litness of his gentility. He dared to call his soul his own.

Very few of us do. We are a little bit cowardly. When it conies to a vote we don't care to call our souls onr own, because we are run by a ring. When it comes to our wives, we don't dare tell them to speak more quietly, to be less decided in their opinions, and to choose the good rather than the evil word to speak. When it comes to our children we haven't the courage to switch the impudence out of them nor the ambition to encourage the professional spanker.

This is one of the weeks when I am not patriotic. Politically, things are not running to suit me, so I have given up reading the papers, because 1 am tired of looking at, the pictures of Grover Cleveland's baby, and I have taken to the theaters. Twice I have been fortunate, and I suppose, in the language of the good poker player, I had better draw to those two and see if I can't get a full hand. A representative of the Logansport, Journal with the recent editorial excursion from Indiana writes home to his paper in the following style concerning Kansas City, 'which sounds like inspiration drawn from Union avenue: "Wo arrived in Kansas City Friday morning at 8 o'clock and beheld iu this place a picture of rare beauty one which will surpass anything of the kind in the. country.

The imposing granite structures, fourteen and fifteen stories in height erected upon the very edge of the towering bluffs afford to you as the car approaches, a favorable impression of the great hustling municipality of the farther western country. Leaving the Union depot where immense trains tiro continually coming from every section of the nation you enter the elevated station and secure passage in a cable ear which after ascending nn inclined plain of five hundred feet starts for the business portion. Kansas City is built upon a region of hills and hollows, there not being one single squaro within the corporate limits where a fall of six feet to the block is not afforded, while on others it is so steep that persons daily traveling over them, have curvature of the the Owings block, 101; the liand-Mc-Nally, 148; the Chicago opera house, 185, and the L. Z. Loiter building, 133 feet.

Oh, I'm so Hungry! Any one desirous of learning what it takes to feed Argentine should visit the grocery store of J. W. Anderson Co. any hour of the day during the week. No less than five clerks are kept busy from morning till late in the evening taking orders and tying up goods.

Their fruit sales at the present time are immense, as they are receiving fresh supplies from day to day. Anderson grocery is the place to go when you feel a goneness below the belt, for you will be, sure to find something to eat that will restore your appetite and convince you that life is worth living. Call in and see them. As to Prohibition. Tojieka Capital.

The Capital, since it was first issued in 1870, has been a consistent advocate, of constitutional prohibition. We believe prohibition to he the only practical and national method of dealing with the greatest national evil, the drinking sa loon. Wo believe in the principle of prohibition and that the laws upon the subject should be enforced. Upon this line the Capital lias never deviated and in the future, as in the past, this will be the policy of the paper. J.
