Governor Stanley, A TT EKCHAiN JL JL JL jLJI ILJ JL It grows more and more apparent that something will have to be done with John W. Breidenthal. His latest break was to tell of the many letters he is receiving from bankers asking what to do with their surplus money, banks which have in their vaults deposits aggregating $200 for every man, woman and child in the community! "There is more money locked up in banks to day than there ever was in boom times," says Mr. Breidenthal. "and it's all Kansas nione-." Breidenthal must be squelched.

ROOD. Kansas editors have begun to read the Troy Chief, again. Augusti is the Breidenthal ol Spain. He got out just in time. Ex-Senator W.

A. Peffer is billed to speak in Marion, Sept. 24, after noon and evening. Editor Kuhn is cavorting around in the Fop pasture like a calf in a clover patch. He needs looking after.

Kansas City is having a peck of trouble finding a name for its new town hall. In Marion it's different Getting the hall is what bothers us. The Douglas Tribune's 13 inch shells must be striking the spots, judging by the "replies" from the Pop gun of the Eldorado Advocate. For a quarter of a century Ex Gov. Morrill has subcribed and paid for fifty copies of his home paper, the Hiawatha World.

That covers a multitude of political sins. The Council Grove Guard is badly off on politics, but this is all right Reports from New York affirm that Mrs. Potter Palmer has captured the Four Hundred. We are in favor of treating all prisoners alike. Send them to Spain.

Under the brilliant management of our war Governor, Kansas gets but little out of the war except a few and gold-filled teeth stolen from a Confederate grave. In Pop parlance, the spade is mightier than the sword. "Republican dollar wheat is now selling for fifty cents," sadly ob serves the Topeka Advocate, Pop. But our Topeka friend should cheer up when he reflects that the fifty cents is half of a two dollar dollar, which isn't so bad after all. "In politics and religion," ob serves our Pop brother Kuhn, "the rule of division must be eliminated from the 'rithmetic." He is right.

The "rule of division" in politics is fusion. And it will be "eliminated" all right, next November. The gold is still piling up in the National treasury, now reaching over two hundred million dollars in amount. Three years ago, it was down to forty-four millions. It pays to have a party in power which knows "how to run the Joseph C.

II. Swan, famed in Kansas for his 20 year cycle weather theory, died in the hospital in Wichita. Monday. 113 waa 74 years old, ana could no longer support himself, and much to his grief became a county charge, and later bis bodily weakness carried him to the hospital. Poor, old man What a struggle bis life has been and how genuinely sad its end How tenaciously he hung to bis theories, secrets be wrested from nature and which he gave to the world without price.

For Swan was generous he seemed wholly lacking in selfish thoughts. It ground bim that men refnsed or neglected his cycle theory, returning meteorological conditions certain as the sun's rising and setting, as he believed, each twenty years. His little book, embodying his observations and theories, is his only monument, for be sleeps now in an unhonored and unknown grave. EI Dorado Times. No one ever held to any theory more tf naciously or more honestly than old man Swan did to his theory that the seasons are ever repeating themselves in cycles.

To him it was more than a theory it was a fact. Others in the centuries before him had held the theory, though it is doubtful whether he ever heard of them. But from an actual record kept by himself for over sixty years, with information gathered by him going back of his experience fifty years, he believed the cycle fact was established. His little book, printed more than ten years ago, containing preditions twenty years ahead, has certainly had some remarkable verifications. The old man firmly believed that his little book unlocked a secret of nature of vast value to mankind.

The perpetual sorrow of his life was that so few people could be induced to believe in his "discovery." Peace to the old man's ashes We were afraid our excellent friend and former townsman, C. H. Curtis, of Burlingame, would go to the bad after he got out from under our eye, and now we see he has been elected Secretary of the Democratic Central Committee, of Osage County. The fame of our more or less esteemed contemporary, Commodore Kuhn, is spreading, and his rare humor is being justly recognized: Says the Burlington Republican: We never cauld see any good of a Populist editor, but there is an exception. Marion has one who amuses people.

Dr. C. C. Jones, Pop nominee for Representative, is the latest candidate to withdraw from the ticket. Dr.

Jones is a nice, clever gentleman, and a good dentist, and we are really glad to see him sign the protocol. "We'd hate to see the ice wagon run over such a pleasant gentleman. There was lots of poetry about Dewey's part of the war. He not only fired the first and last shots and did many other sentimental as well as substantial things, but the most effective firing he did in his last engagement was by a gunboat he captured from the Spanish in his first engagement. Ed Hoch, of the Marion Record, says that J.

A. Ray, the Populist nominee for Superintendent, declined because he had returned to the Republicans. Taylor Riddle says that Hoch's mind is wandering again. Topeka Advocate (Pop). Mr.

Bay informed us that since he ran on the Pop ticket several years ago he had studied economical questions a great deal, especially the financial questions, and is now convinced that the Republican party is right. Miss Emma F. Christ, Librarian of Peabody's public library, writes to the Topeka Capital that from 70 to SO books are taken out of the library every day, and yet in ten years only five books have been lost. "When we consider that the only penalty for not returniug a book is that they can not get another," says Miss Christ, "the record is not such an one as to shatter our faith in the honesty of our people who read." The "Way Out" we suggested, last week, for our Pop friends in MarLon County, whose "ticket" has melted away like a snow ball in July, until only one or two candidates are left, seems to have "taken" all right. The more our Pop friends think of it, the better they will like it, we feci confident.

Here is the ticket we put up for them, and we submit that it can't be beaten, ex cept by the Republicans: Artz, of Trego County. For Superintendent of Public In struction, Mrs. Mary E. Lease, of Idaho. For Probate Judge, Tom Grish- am, of Chase County.

and after Governor Stanley's speech. General Alger has committed two unpardonable sins. Eirst, he can never be forgiven for getting rich. No matter how honestly he acquired his wealth, and no matter if he has been one of the most liberal men in all the land, lavish ing his wealth upon the poor. He is rich.

That is enough. Second ly, he chartered a train and got two old Union Generals, one minus a leg and the other minus an arm, and together this trio actually had the impudence to ride through Kansas and talk politics from the rear end of their car to their old comrades. That was the second unpardonable sin Mr. Alger com mitted. Down with Alger When called upon.

for a speech in the recent Pop county conven tion, Commodore Kuhn, of the Times, said they heard from him every week, and would probably hear more than they wanted to hereafter. Whereupon, amid a breathless silence, the editor sa down. The brethren heard from him last week in reference to nom inating one Republican (Ray) and trying to nominate He says: Indeed there seems to be no good reason if it was deemed expedient and proper to nominate Republicans for any office, why there should be invidious discriminations. The shorter and more graceful method would have been to endorse or renominate the entire Re publican county ticket, all of the candi dates being reputable citizens and com petent to discharge the duties of the several offices to be filled. If we are compelled to swallow a bitter, nauseous pill, we don't want it cut in halves.

Our good brother Easterly of the Eureka Union, (Pop) attempts to tell why he is so terribly in favor of electing a Christian State Sena tor in Shawnee County, while sup porting a wicked old duffer for Governor against a Christian gen tleman. "It is well known that the writer is not an admirer of all Gov ernor Leedy's ways and words, of ficially nor personal." says brother Easterly, "but Gov. Leedy is not a corporation lawyer." Well, is Stanley or Peffer "a corporation lawyer!" And how do you account for the veto of the railroad bil which your Senator Harris extolled so highly! And what have you to say of the enthusiastic support Mr Leedy is receiving from Bailey Wagoner, the biggest corporation lawyer, and railroad lobbyist in Kansas? Your excuse will hardly pass muster, brother Easterly. Try again. Ex-Chief Justice Horton recently visited Washington, and said to "Topics" of the Kansas City Jour nal, the other day While in Washington I called on rresiaent McKinley.

lie seemed to me to be exceedingly pale, but bis eye was clear, bis handshake strong and vigorous, and over his face spread a look of perfect serenity. When in conversation he stands close to his visitor, looks him squarely in the eye, and seems to bore down deep for his innermost tnougnts. Later I met one of the cabinet offi cers and mentioned to him that the President looked unusually pallid. This official said "xes, he is pale, but foi all that he is strong. The President has been a physical and intellectual revelation to all of us.

I doubt if I can give you to understand the mar velous grasp he has retained upon all things connected with the recent war. and the work he has performed in connection with it. He has not been in bed a single night before 12 o'clock since the war commenced, and he was apparently the first man up in the morning and ready for business. Eyery phase of the Spanish trouble has come under his personal supervision. Though always ready to take advice and act upon it when he found it good, be nevertheless was supreme in everything and decided momentous questions with a celerity and firmness that so prised us all.

Even those of us who Enow him well and believed we bad penetrated his admirable character bad no conception of the latent force within him. While personally directing the cam paigns, both at land sea, be never for a moment lost a thread in the still more puzzIiLg campaigns of diplomacy and in every step so far taken in the great questions growing out of the war his has been the predominant and control ling mind." Now, If you are going to print all this," said Judsre Horton in conclusion. I want to ask yon to spare me two lines for an opinion of my own.

Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Hlket Award. Kays. Hutchinson News The joke is on Charlie Bucher. The Marion county Populists offered him their nomination for County Attorney. A Pop nomination in Marion county is not worth picking up iu the road.

Topeka Capital A well known Dem ocratic lawyer and politician of Harvey county has been requested by the Popu list Central Committee of Marion county to become their nominee for County Attorney. This is the I firs time that a political party in any Kan sas county has been in such sore straits for political timber as to be under the painful necessity of making requisition therefor on its neighbors. Kansas City Jourual The statement that the Populists of Marion county Kansas, are embarrassed by the fac that there not a lawyer in thei party to nominate for County Attorney should be taken with a large pinch salt. The Kansas Populists have never given any indication heretofore that they regarded knowledge of law as a necessary qualification either for an official attorneyship or for a position on the bench. Judge McKay and other hand-made legal lights will look with severe disapproval on any attempted alterations in the good old Populistic tenet that any man who can hoe coin can try a law-suit.

Frank Montgomery: As related re cently, the Populist convention in Marion county adjourned without nom inating a candidate for County Attor ney, there being no Populist lawyer available. Saturday the Populis Central Committee teudered the nomi nation to Mr. Charles Bucher, the wel known criminal lawyer of Harvey county. The chairman of the commit tee informed Mr. Bucner that there was no law preventing the people one county from selecting their officials from among the citizens of another county, but Bucher declined with thanks.

The Populist paity is rapidly becoming a very stupid joke. Kansas. V. D. Coburn.
