Give the West tho Senator.

We remarked the other day that the
state had grown too large and its in.
tcrests too numerous to render 1t prop.
or that both of the United States sena-
tors should be persistently and cOntin.
uously chosen from the northern border
1t may be entirely accidental, but il
is certainly worthy of note, how oul
public offices, both federal and state,
have been accommodating in the counties
along the eastern border.
AtchisOn county has a United States
senator. the United States mail agent,
and, virtually, the United States attor-
ney. Doniphan county has the secre.
tary of state. LeavenwOrth county
has the governor, q United States SEN
ator, the judge Of the United States
district court, one of the judges of the
supreme court. the superintendent OF
public instruction and the register in
bankruptcy, and the superintendent OF
insurance. WyandOtte county has a
member Of congress and the United
States marshal. johnson county has
the state treasurer. Bourbon county
has member of congress.
Meanwhile our state has been filling
up TO the westward until our settle
,neBts reach nearly to the Colorado
line. There are multitude Of land
questions, Indian questions and the
like demanding attention from the in
terror and western portions of the
state. II seems to us that it is only a
matter OF common fairness that the
senator TO be chosen this winter should
come from that part of the state. We
speak in 10 mans interest, but
il is apparent at q glance that the
time has come when one of the sena-
tors must come from the west. FOrtu-
natcly the question of locality need
not result in she election Of an inferior
man. Some Of the best men in the
state are located west of line running
north and south through Topeka
Some one of these men should be ch0-
sen, and we believe that the temper of
the state generally is now such that if
the representatives from the western
part of the state shall agree with any
great degree of unanimity in present
ing the name of some good man of rec
ogmizcd ability and standing he would
be electcd.-Ldwreace Journal.

The oyster trade of Baltimore is
suffering severely-not half the Ii
censed boats are engaged-and the
low price destroys the profits OF
even the half that are engaged. One
exchange states that ordinarily, the
trade amounts to several millions OF
dollars per year, and gives employ
ment to thousands of persons, men
and women; but now those engaged
in the packing houses have work
only part of the time, and many
are entirely out of work. Already
oysters have sold down to fifty cents
per bushel, and the same quality
which last year brought seventy-fve
cents to one dollar per bushel, can

Words of Cheer.

The financial condition of the
country is improving. A large ma
jority of the banks have resumed bu
siness. The effect of the panic has
been to check insane speculation and
over-trading, expose and extinguish
unsound banking institutions, de-
stroy fictitious values, cause settle
ments between debtor and creditor,
discourage investments in railroad
schemes that depend for success on
robbing the government, and to con-
fine business generally within legiti-
mate and safe limits. Produce is
on the advance. Farmers are likely
to suffer less than any other class.
The greatest distress will be in the
great cities where large manufactur.
ing establishments have been closed
and the employees thrown out o.
employment. This, however, prom
ises to be only Temporary.

That "CanaI Ring"
IFrom the Akron Be4con.l


According to the Cincinnati Com
mercial, which is making war on
what it calls the ''Canal Ring" of
Ohio, the State has paid to the canal
lessees the enormous sum of $519,
465,7O for the improvement of the
canals since they were leased, every
dollar of which, it says, should have
been paid by themselves, according
to the terms of their contract with
the State. A part of this expense
was incurred just before the lease
was made, and under direct manipu-
lation of the Ring, with the lease in
contemplation. If the Commercial
is correct in these statements, and it
boldly proclaims that it is, the State
had better give the canals away to
some one who will agree to run them
without cost to the people.
