The Milwaukee(Wis.) Sentinel says OF
the Republican party and the regulation
Of internal commerce
"Ths farmers of the west have, in al
most all their resolutions, asserted that
the constitutional power of Congress to
regulate commerce between the States
carried with it the right of jurisdiction
ever the subject of freishts. Many of
the Republican conventions have affirm
ed the. same principle on their platforms.
The Massachusetts convention, which
has Just been held, expressed it in the
most distinct terms. Under this theory
a Republican committee of the Republic
can United States Senate is now engaged
investigating the whole subjec, of trans
por,a,lsn. The Albany Journal says
the Democracy can assume no such po-
sition wiihou, grossly stuliifying all their
professions. They denounced the sug-
ges,ion when it appeared in the Presi-
dents last annual mess: &c, and the whole
limo of Democratic declarations 10 against
it. The hopes and interests of the farm
ers thus plainly lie with the Republican
party"

Shall Grangers Nominate?

In reply to numerous questions wheth-
or the grangers mean to nominate tick
ct for county officers in Wilson county,
the special deputy ofthat county, S. X.
Shirley, IN the Cti-en, says:
The grangers constitute in no partisan
sense party. 1t is movement of the
people for the correction Of certain evils
that have been creeping into our social,
commercial and political system by the
ignorant cennivance OF the followers OF
all parties alike.
There is always a brood Of hungry
Office seekers ready to ally themselves
with any cause from which there is hope
of official or pecuniary advantage. Es-
pecially is this true OF the grange move.

leaders and secure position and power
thereby. Let the gransers beware Of
all such. They are found among all
classes-farmers as well as editors,
teachers and doctors.

IRE FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Notwithstanding all that has been said
and done during the past week, with re-
ference to the financial disasters, the pre-
vailing opinion is that the panic is near
" consummated. To be SURE, currency is
in great demand, but even that has COM
menced flowing livlier in tho channels of
commerce and trade. Many Of the banks
which suspended have opened their doors
and resumed business. As far ~ can be
learned from the statements Of the prom
inent financiers of the country, the ma
jority hold to the opinion that affairs are
growing brighter, and that the whole
trouble will result in greater buoyan-
cy Of tho market and an advance Of
prices. Everything SO far is very favora-
bic to the restoration Of confidence, the
momentary alarm having subsidized. The
disposition toward forbearance and gen.
crous dealing between man and man is
working sll things right, and a much bet
ter. intelligence is existing among the
masses As to the necessities OF the hour
than couldhave become manifest had the
panic never existed. In many cases de-
positors who withdrew their money
from banks under the prevailing excite
ment, have returned their funds, with
renewed confidence in the banks. In
St. Louis grain is advancing in prices
and more currency is coming into the
city than 10 sent out. 1t is recommend
ed that banks should maintain their un-
ion, and discount freely the commercial
paper of undoub,sd character-the plan
which in 1860 and 1861 won, over the
threatened panics Of those years. No
cause for great alarm can be discerned
ut present. and a few weeks may make
all things right.

THE AMENDMENT.

No western man should oppose tho
constitutional amendment providing tor
a change in representation in the lesisIa-
ture, which is to be voted upon at the
coming ..eIcstion. We arc sorry to see
some Of the leading dailies OF the State
place themselves in opposition to a
measure which is OF 80 vital importan CO
to the west. The growth, prosperity
and welfare of the west demand the
passage of the amendment. The west
has been too long without power in the
legislature, and if it can gain proper
representation its measures will be soon
needed. Tho member from buffalo
land" has. too long been misused and
made fun of. Tho intelligent voters OF
the east, who regard the interests Of the
whole State, will readily vote for the
amendment, while the politicians Of the
east will oppose it with all their power.
Perfect representation is the object
sought for, and this amendment pro.
y,des for. it. The argument that the
legislature will be too "unwieldly" i!
the amendment passes is "too thin
1t uM be too unwieldly for politicians to
to manipulate and msnage, and "that'
what's the matter"
Under the present system county ID

gard to its population. Population il

1t is tor the interest Of tho western
voters to vote soIidIy for the measure
The politicians Of the east will make
strenuous efforts to defeat it. We sha!
give our views upon the subject, from
time to time, before the election.

UNITE the WEST.

As we have urged before, We urge 1t
again, that the members of the ieglsla-
ture from Western Kansas should be
firmly united upon western citizen ior
United States Senator. A united vote
of-eixht or ten members on one man, TO
start with, GALL Of them from enc iocal'-
ty) will have great weight in making the
successor of Caldwell. The candidates
from the west, then, for tho Legislature,
should be required to pledge themselves
to the support of man Unidentified with
their interest and devoted to them. Our
candidate should be q scholarly man,
who is naturally removed from the dem
agoguo tribe. He should be no salary
grabber. He should be Unidentified with
none OF the frauds and corruption which
stain the history of early Kansas. He
should be none of you commercial sle-
ment, nor pledged only to the interests
of some large city. He should DO .
man who has gained Iaursls in his bat
tics for the rights Of men, and who has
shown his patriotism both in the field
and in the cabinet. He should be a
man who is not bound hand and foot by
the chains of cliques. He should b
man whose name is part of the history
of the State and who 10 respected and
admired for his talents by all citizens OF
our commonwealth. 1t is not difficult to
find such person, and when found the
western members should unanimously
sgree upon him. Members should be
elected Who have no "fish Of their own
| to fry," and who have no "little matters
to adjust" Men should be elected who
have solely and wholly the best interests
of their constituents in view, and who
will stick to a western candidate for
Senator as long rs there is tho least
show in tho world for him. Saline and
her neishbors should endeavor TO unite
upon q candidate for that office. A firm
union of western counties will be power
which must be respected and very likely,
obeyed. Personal jealousies should be
sacrificed for the good of the whole, and
bro,herly working together will gain
glorious battle.

There was bett err state Of feeling
financially yesterday than there has been
since the commencement of the panic.
The reports that the Chicago and St
Louis banks would resume this morn
ing was interpreted as cheering midi
cation that the worst was over. This
is probably tho case. Indeed, there are
evidences on all sides that reason is re
suming its sway. Currency Is flowing

II should be noticed that in all this
financial furry no banks have failed ex-
eept those that were loaded with unsafe
able railroad securities. The bonds of
railroads that earn interest, and OF conn
ties or States, and other interest bear
ing bonds on which the interest is paid,
are not affected in value, and are made
less saleable than usual only because the
panic has caused the currency to be tied
up. These bonds will be worth more
than ever after the furry is over.

THE LOST PICTURE.
BY MISSA MYRTLE MILLER.

10 was but little dreamy face
There's many and many another one
With lovely pose and q charming grace,
And yet there is none that is like it-none.
Whose may find it with careless eyes,
IT'S not a shadow, piece of art,
But something to look at, love and prize,
And press to your lips and hold to your heart.
Long and lovingly you must gaze,
And fancy the pure lips speak to you;
Fancy the saint-like eyelids raise
And the sweet eyes look you through and
through.
Let your soul be filed with questionings sad,
And say: Is it best that she quit her play,
And wonder and wait and be never glad,
Calling me, calling me day by dayY
Or is il best that she lift her eyes,
Confding TO those who are in my place.;
That she smile clear-eyed on the sunny skies,
And laugh and sing and forget my face!
What if, under sorrows sorcery,
Witching my idols day by day,
On wide and silent, forgetful sea
My darling's features should drift awayY
What if. when l seek her with bounding sigh,
| shall find her not in the haunts OF yOre,
And little specter, with mournful eye,
Shall stand in her place ferevermoreY
Let your tortured fancy have widest scope.
Until it seems that your heart must break,
And then with q quick and sudden hope
Say: 1t is all for her dear sake.
There's many picture under the sum-,
With meek, sad face and tresses bright;
And yet for me there is only one,
And that-I lost it yesternight.
