A TALK ABOUT WICHITA.


d. 7. Alexander and son, II. A. Alexan,
DER Wichita, Kan, were at Hotel Barnum
yesterday, leaving in the evening for Kan
sas City. Mr.. Alexander, senior, is an ex-
tensive railroad contractor. in which work
he IS assisted by his three boys. They are
now engaged on the Kansas City, Spring
field and Memphis road. having the iron
down from Kansas City to Springfield, and
about thirty five miles beyond the latter city.
Mr.. Alexander said to 4 Globe Democrat re-
porter yesterday afternoon that they expect
cd to have the line ready for rolling stock to
the Arkansas line in three months. The
road would have been completed thus far at
this time but for the unfavorable weather
and heavy work necessary. He then spoke
OF the crops, telling that in the past two
weeks he had been through thirteen states,
aud found everyt' ing looking splendid in
all. lie had lived in Wichita for ten years,
and had never seen better wheat and oats,
the corn also being good. Wichita was given
as growing place of 1000 population, large
ly interested in stock-raising. There were
II number living there owning cattle in Har.
per, Borbour, COmanche and clark counties,
situated along the boundry Of the Indian
Territory. These counties are fine
grazing land, it being estimated that fully
$50. eco head of stock are running within
their limits. In Wichita more substantial
improvements were said to be now going on
than known for many years, among them be-
ing the building of the largest agricultural
machinery warehouse in the Southwest, by
>myth Il Son. Real estate was looking up,
several Connecticut parties having invested
$50. 900 within a month in desirable proper
ty. with the intention of holding Tor rise.

IT WON'T WASH.


We hear that Mr. All Redden, who thought
he was a candidate for Congress and who
now thinks he is a candidate for Governor.
says that he and his friends would have
taken pleasure in supporting Mr. Slass in
the late convention, had they been invited
by our people, Or properly approached by
the friends Of Mr.. Suss from this county
and, further, that Butler county was natur-
ally for our man as between Harvey and
sedgwick. The people Of Butler county
msy have been for Mr.. Sluss, but we unhes-
itatingly put it down in print that if Mr..
Redden makes any such assertions he does
it in the face Of, to him, known facts. He
was not for Sluss nor were his friends, and
could not have been 50 long as Mr.. Lennon
held the book OF the records OF trades which
Mr.. Lennon says he held. The Butler
county delegation had but the choice to 60
to MIR. Peters or 10 continue 10 vote FOR

ton in the early part OF the fight declared
that Mr.. ReGden should never transfer him

Charles Farris and others who worked in

WHAT MAY FOLLOW.

The Constantinoplc correspondent of the
New Mork Herald says: "As England and
France persistentiy refuse to allow Turkey
TO send troops TO Egypt except under con-
ditions that would have cost Abdul Hamid
his Khaliphate. and as England and France
feared to so there themselves lest Egypt
should prove their schleswig Holstein, the
result has been a general eeysoehaung, which
has greatly damaged the prestige Of Eng
land. of France, of the Sultan, of the khe-
dive, and, is fact, of everybody except Arab
who has now more than ever shown himself
to be sole mast OF the situation. Without
Arabi's approval no one can do anything in
Egypt. Should the Sultan touch him, then
goodby to the Ottoman Khalifate, and rath-
err than run such risk Abdul Hamid would
rather lose all his possessions in Europe and
even in Asia Minor. There is very influ-
ential section of ulcmas at Yildiz Kiosk,
who strongly urge the Sultan to quit the
Bosphorus and anticipate the great impend-
ing Arabic reformation Of Islam by making
his capital at Bagdaj, the seat of the Alb
basside khalifs during the glorious days Of
Al Mansour, iaroon al Rashd and Al Ma
moon. Abdul Hamid is known to favor
these views, and the world may at any day
be astouished 10 see the Sultan withdraw
from the coDtagion OF European thought,
and at Bagdad wrap himself up within the
folds of impenetrable Islam. If England in
terieres with Arab, then the forty millions
of Indian Mussulmans will make an effort
for "home rule" IN India. II France inter-
feres with Arab, then the whole of North
Africa will be in blaze. The maxim DE-
rtde ct impera can no longer be applied to
the races and tribes that make up the great
family of Islam.

TIE PENSION ELL.

We predict that within few years the
drain for pensions will become so heavy rs
to alarm the nation. The truth il, We think
the rules and laws under which pension,
are granted are too loosely constructed, in.
wiling frauds and making the establishment
Of fraudulent claims comparatively easy and
safe. Til. government can well afford and
the people viii gladly use the national re-
scources in the years to come to pay pensions
to those who suffered in body or limb while
in the line OF patriotic duty. but from OBJ
seryation il is only too evident that fraudu-
lent claims by the wholesale are being al
lowed. In debate on the Pension bill last
Saturday, Mr. Plat, chairman Of the COM
mittee, expressed belief that there would
be a deficiency in the appropriation Of TWEEN
ty-hye to thirty millions before the close OF
the current year beyond the present amount
of S97, GAG, geo for pensioners exclusive ofthe
expense of the bureau.

AT WHAT COST.


The past season has witnessed a phenomi
nal and unprecedented political fight in th'
state. II has been a preliminary struggle
but il has involved grave problems for th'
future of the Republican party OF Kansas
The contest has been one between the press
and the pulpit; the spells, the goyernorshiT

thizers male and female, in and out Of the
churches, and the questionable harraDgues
called sermons, delivered throughout the
state by Coy. St.John in the various churches
into which he has been admitted on the
Sabbath day in the name Of temperance. 1t
seems now that the claim of the pulpit that
il has won may prove correct, but at what
cost to its future and TO its influence, none
can estimate and none but those without
the pale can have the least idea. The re-
sponsibiIify ofthe contest belongs to Deither
political organization as such, but to the
men who. have sunk all in the political for
tunes Of a successful hobby rider. Chris
tianity and the Republican party are the
only losers.

A Coz ARDLY THING


As was noted last week ahe great iron clad
ships of England, with oighty-ton guns,
throwing solid shot weighing seventeen
hundred pounds, opened fire on the forts
about the classic city q Alexandria, place
Of civilization commerce and wealth three
hundred years before Christ came TO earth.
We know that the great world and her pow
ers sayit is right; that the old city with its
mosques. dones aud obelisks; its monu-
burthened people; that the city of the
land that feed Jacob and his seed, that made
Joseph King aid that protected Christ aud
his earthly parents when his life was sought,
should be destroyed-should be murdered
fer money consideration; but we are glad
we are not with The world. Even the pulpit
of America cries out for The blood that is
being shed and holds up its hands because
forsooth that people should dare to resist or
strike back. An American officer with his

soldiers and citizens who were Killed dur

and Christians were slaughtered by the mob.

are not only the pcssessors of her fine

loved kings, queens and princes and would
carry off the pyramids if any money could
be realized in the transaction. But Egypt

whence came in direct line all our latter

and some other Democratic candidate to be
