And the next day it snowed. And there were’giants in Goodland town. We would suggest that Bro. Marshall have the whole lot pulled for criminal|libel. Poor old Jasper! She had the Judge and the ringsters wanted the prosecutor, representative and senator, and she was given a stone. Mr. Bryan has not made many speeches of late. There is really no .reason why he should. The enemy is fighting his cause for him. There seems to be a misunderstanding somewhere. We were under tiie impression that it was the duty of the Supreme Court and not of the Senate to determine the extent of the Constiturion.

Lake, Newton and White counties have each sat down upon Rensselaer’s republican political ring, and it remains for the taxpayers of Jasper county to administer the final kick at the polls in November. Speaker Reed says that the attempt to make three quarter citizens out of Porto Ricans is certainly interesting. But then, Mr. Reed is only a traitor, He has even made remarks about buying 10.000,000 yellow bellies at §2 a head. The fight between the English and Boers will not be a patchen to the county seat “fout,” which will be “fit” on Newton county soil this summer. General St. Patrick Keefe and Col. Marquis De Strohm will command the forces about “Spion Kop,” as they have in all previous ware of the kind.—Morocco Courier. *
