M. Howard, Richland, Kans. Washington, March 23. Editor Richland News. To my anxious friends who have written me for the news and prospects since I left for Washington.

I wish you would say through your paper that 1 am poorly, thank you, how are you? Also, say to them that the prospects are poorly too: In fact tbe prospects have disappeared, all but one, and that I claim as mine. They have been gobbled one by one until there is nothing left but the Lawrence and Carbon Hill run and the Post-offices. Mr. Harrison told me this morning that he cant give Monmouth township more than one of these, and that is why I say there is but one prospect. And I think I ought to hare this; still, if any of you fellows want it any worse than i do, and can prove it, why take it, hog! I can see that Mr.

Harrison is much put out because he cant give you other fellows anything, but he is just bored to death by the politicians until he gives them something, and if youll remember I told you on election day that some of us wonld be disappointed. Ben says that after the pos-office is recaptured from our friend, the enemy, he will have it advanced to a third cIhss office, and his wife spoke up and said she thought it ought to be done right away, and that she thought trains hadnt ought to run so often on the L. S. W. as a postal clers ought to have more time with his family.

Ben laughed at this, but all the same he'll make it stop running so often if he takes a notion. He is a great family man, and I think we postmasters and postal clerks will have an easier time than we used to nave under Arthur. He says: It may reduce the surplus, but we have only one life to live, and maybe only one trm to nerve. Mrs. Harrison smiled at this, and said: He would be all right if he was a good boy and wouldnt send to Louisville for any more peach cider.

As I am coming home as soon as the matter is settled, and as there is a little taste (several gallons) on hand, I sided witn her and told him I hoped he wouldnt. Still if I should be detained -however I deut think I will. Yours hopefully. Perry Pathetic. I1 i A banquet, was tendered John Marshall, leader of the famous Marshalls Military Band of Topekn.
