These cool mornings are stimulating
u very tender interest in the buck wheat
crop.
The unyielding grip with which Gen.
Hancock holds ON to shat commission
has excited profound admiration for
the business sagacIty of the superb
candidate
1t is little unfortunate for Bill Eng
lish's religious professions that 1.-THE
Evidences of Christianity" is dumb on
the subject of foreclosures and silent in
regard TO bankers rates of interest.
1t has been estimated by experienced
real estate agents that the adoption of
the constitutional amendment in Kansas
will result in an advance of 100 per cent.
in the rents of corner groceries in the
villages of Missouri and Texas.
Sid Clarke is doing some tall kicking
over IN Douglas county, on the senatori-
al question. If this agile gentleman
persists in keeping his heels at their pres
ent altitude, the public will begin to sus-
pect that his brains are finally coming
to the top.
| Joe Emmett, the talented commedian,
whose name is associated in the public
mind with the beautiful German drama
of Fritz" has so far yielded to his be-
setting passion for drink that he has
been Obliged to relinquish his theatri
cal engagements for the season. If Joe
doesn't soon begin to wear blue rib
bon, or come to Kansas to live after TIT
November election, we fear that his mex
appearance in the newspapers will be a
the manipulation of tho big snakes, in
private side show.

What does Wade Ham u think of
Vermont's down reaching for the
UnionE''
1t appears that Wade Hampton's
Staunton speech was pretty generally
read by the voters OF Vermont.
The n OveInber election Is the supreme
,ribuna beyond which the "principles
for which Lee and jackson fought" can
not be appealed.
Did our Hancock friends hear any
thing drop in Vermont. on Tuesday !:
We thought we heard an audible tumble
of about 5000 Democratic votes.
There seems to have seen few '.acces-
sions TO Garfield in Vermont that were
overlooked by our Democratic friends
in casting the political horoscope at the
outset of the canvass.
Since the Kansas City Times has tax
en- it into its hands to lay out the Re
publican candidate for congress in the
Second Kansas district, the betting runs
two to one on Haskell
Hancock, the Democratic courser, has
too much weight for his feet, and was a
trifle too "brash' on the first quarter.
The betting now is two to one that Jim
Garfield will take the pole.
The Democratic majority in Arkan-
sas is about double that of the Republi-
can majority in Vermont But when it
comes To comparing the moral effect"
of the two elections, the Green Noun
tain boys get away with the baggage by
overwhelming odds.
Vermont vaults to the front with n
Republican majority of $4,000 to 3d.
600, the largest she has given since 1872.
In the light of these figures it is deeply
interesting TO reflect that the Democrats
not more than three short weeks ago
were claiming the Green Mountain state
as doubtful"
The Democratic party is pledged to
give the country "free vote and fair
count" But let them dare to enforce
these conditions in the solid south, and
Hancock's chances for becoming the
next president would be knocked sc
high that the pieces would be from now
till the crack of doom in coming down
New York Tribune: 1t pleases the
so-called independent press to sniff al
the Republican fears of a solid southern
ascendancy. and to say that the Republi
cans themselves have no faith IN theil
own charges and are only making them
for campaign purposes. The same
snIffers were in similar state of mint
when the Maine conspiracy was foretold
but they had nothing TO say when tn,
plot was unfolded. Nothing which ha
been charged against the south is NOR
preposterous or more disgraceful to u
as Americans than.this Maine bushes
was. Yet the Democratic party not onl,
stopped to that meanness, but declines t
be ashamed of it to-day, and defends
on the stump and supports its perpetra
tors for Office. Has the south shown an
finer feelings of honor? Is it prcpostei
Gus to say that section which will stui
ballot-boxes and stuff the census will b
too heightened to get its claims paid on
of the treasury, and to demand rcmunel
alton for its slaves?

Elder Mitchell, in his letter Of accept
ance. an intensely unique document
which appeared in the Commonwealth
of this morning, asserts. with engaging
modesty. that he ''feels that the interest

congressman on the Greenback ticket.
