Republican Defeat In Pennsylvania
Predicted.
[From n. 7. Vbdependent.l ]


Republican politics in Pennsylvania
are. at the present moment, pretty badly
muddled. Senator Cameron has just
held the regular Republican Convention
and "bossed" il from beginning to end
The ticket is well understood to be an
out-and-out Cameron ticket. He dlcta-
ted il beforehand aud the delegates sim
ply ratified the decree Of their political
master. The Senator has no idea OF re-
linquishing or even relaxing his grasp
upon power. He means to be the 'boss'
of Pennsylvania Republicans and 1t must
be confessed that he has large follow
ing to support his claims The resolutions
adopted are. with some changes. those
that were agreed upon by representatives
of the two wings of the party at their
recent conference in Philadelphia; and,
while they read very well. hardly any
body credits the convention with sinceri-
ty in their adoption or believes that Sen
ator Cameron proposes to carry them out
in good faith. Indeed, the convention
was in roar Of laughter when adopting
some of these resolutions, as IL the whole
thing were mere farce. The result is
that the Independent Republicans of Penn
sylvania, who are thoroughly disguised
with the "bossism" OF Senator Cameron,
are by no means conciliated, and we are
not at all surprised at the result. They
intend TO hold convention of their own,
and will probably put another set Of can.
didates into the field. This course means
defeat to the Republicans in Pennsylva-
mia at the next election.

not equal taxation, but seeks to, and
does, put millions into the pockets Of the

speech says:
1--WE have heard this sort OF argument
before. It is freely used to support tax
alton for the benefit of the copper mine
owners, whose profits have multiplied
the value of their capital stock ten times
in as many years; and it is resorted to
uphold taxation for the Bessemer Steel
mills, whose profits, according to the
census, were nearly 20 per. cent. in 1880
It Is the logic Of Robin Hood reversed.
He stole from the rich and gave part to
the poor. The protection Of silver and
copper and steel steals from every one,
and gives all to the rich. As the benefit
to the hardy and enterprising men EN-

much to their employees as they are forced
to give by the market price. and not sill

Prospects Of an Abundant Wheat Har.
vest.


CHICAGO, May 20.-A Kansas City spe.
cial says that never has the growing
wheat crop attracted 80 general attention
and SO much solicitude in this section as
now. The presence of chinch bugs
throughout Kansas last year, the general
shortage in crops resulting from these
insects, and the dry weather has made
Kansas the pivotal point OF the crops.
The season has been exceptionally favora-
BILE, and the reports from Southwest
Kansas are wonderfully unanimous that
the growing wheat is in an unusually
good condition. Central Kansas CORES.
pondence agree that the prospects are
very fattering. The late cool weather
has been very beneficial and the plant
looks healthy and strong. promising a
large yield. The acreage of corn is said
to be very large and most of it up. The
pasturage is good and the general out
look is encouraging all over the state.

There are many children, however, who
prefer to manufacture their own valentines;
not because those they find at the shops are

Perhaps these children would like few

all who have ever tried it know that it is
