A COUNTY CONVENTION

We find that the position first taken
be THE News in reference 20 the man
ner Of selecting delegates To the congress
siOnai conventions.r reflects very generally
the sentiments of the Republicans Of
Lyon county. As We said in our first
article, We have no ObjeciloR to the per-
sonnet Of the delegates appointed by the
county central committee, but the pro
test which We made against the usurpa-
ton OF power which rightfully belongs
TO the people is warmly seconded by the
most influential men of the party, as
well as by the rank aud file of the or
ganizatiOn throughout the county.
The selection of four candidates for
eOngressmen-at-large from this great
commonwealth is political event
whose importance has not been exceed
ed in the annals of the state, and thai
Lyon county should be represented in
the convention called for that purpose
by delegates chosen by three men from
among two thousand voters, IL, to say
the least, not in accordance with the
free-for-all idea upon which Kansas was
founded, and her grand destiny as a
state fashioned. 1t is only proper that
the people should have a voice in the
settlement of all questions of public inter
est, and while We have no disposition to
impugn the motives of the central COM
miiiee IN taking the action which they
did at their meetiig on Wednesday
evening, we simply reiterate the verdict
of the voters whom they assumed to
represent, when we repeat that they
made mistake which they should not
fail to rectify by publishing a call for
county convention for the purpose of
giving the whole Republican party of
Lyon county an opportunity of sending
men of their own choosing to the Empo-
ria and Topeka congressional conven-
tions.
We believe that the gentlemen com.
posing the committee are loyal to the
interests of the party, and that what
they have done is the result of mistaken
judgment, and was not prompted by any
desire to disfranchise the Republican
voters of the county. 1t is not too late
TO recall their action, and they can cor
rect their error and satisfy the people |
by providing for convention TO be |
held at an early day in this city. We
trust this important matter may receive |
the prompt attention of the committee. |

SOLUTION OF A PERPLEXING
QUESTION.

Chicago Tribune: The executive ap-
prevail of the Chinese restriction bill,
signed by the president Monday, dis
poses Of the ugly agitation to which
the presence and continued immigra-
tion of Chinese coolies in this country
gave rise. There is every reason TO
hope that the ten years suspension of
immigration from China provided by
the bill will afford permanent relieffrum
the menace of Monaghan occupation.
During that period it is safe to estimate
that the Chinese population. of Califor-
MIA will be reduced to One-tenth its
present dimensions Death, emigration
To the east and the return To their homes
after fulfillment of their contract with
the Six Companies, will make an aston
ishing inroad upon the number of Chi
nese when there are no additions pour
ing into the country. The present horde
in this country will soon dry up and
blow away, SO to speak. The terms of
the present bill Will probably be accept
ed by the Chinese government without
protest, both because they were notified
TO carry out the suggestions of the Chi
nese minister, and because the Chinese
now In the country will enjoy better
protection from personal illtreatment
by reason of the restriction. The final
adoption of this law will remove per
picking aud confusing political issue,
and the status and success of parties can
no longer be influenced by the sentimen-
talists or the forgers.

Prof E. 5. Morse, of the Essex Insti-
tute, has devised an ingenious arrange
ment for utilizing the heat in the SUMS
rays in warming our houses. HIS in
vention consists of a surface of black
ened slate under glass fixed TO the sunny
side OF sides of a house, with vents in
the walls so arranged that the cold air
of room is let out at the bottom of the
slate and forced in again at the top by
the ascending heated column between
the slate and the glass. The outdoor
air can be admitted also if desirable.
The thing is so simple and apparently
selfevldent that one only wonders that
1t has not always been in use. It's entire
practicableness is demonstrated in the
heating of the professors study in his
cottage at Salem. The value of the I'M
provement for daily warming buildings
like churches and school houses. which.
when allowed to get cold between using,
consume immense quantities of heat be-
fore they are fairly warmed again, is ev-
idcnt. of course some other means of
heating must be available when the sun
does not shine. But in the colder re-
gions, say in the Tar northwest the sun
shines greater part of the time, and
hence the saving of artificial heat would
be very large if tire sun heat could be
"turned on" for eight or ten hours GU,
OF the twenty -four.

To the men selected We have no par

they, at an earlier date, appointed the
delegates 10 the district convention,
as The central committees in many of
the counties have done, such action, per-
hAps, would not have been objected to
IN view of the fact that there n hut one
candidate in the field, tO-wit, the Hon.
Thomas Ryan. But rs they postponed
the matter until the state convention was
called. and therefore the argument that
the people would not feel interest
enough in the matter to turn out to the
primary election. had been removed, il
would have been better, in our judgment,
To have called county convention for
the election of both sets of delegates.
The election of five congressman, four
at large and one in this
district, is certainly poIiti-
cal event of sufficient importance TO
awaken a general interest among the
Republicans of Lyon county. We will
state, however, that we have no more in
terest in this matter than any other Re.
publican in the county, and if the body
of the party are satisfied with the man.
ner of appointing these delegates, we
have no disposition TO endeavor TO
create any trouble about 1t. We simply
wish To enter our objection 10 the as
sumption of powers that do not proper
ly belong TO the committee. on general
principles. II is a precedent that ought
not to have been set, and that it will
not do to follow AZ n rule.

The failure of the northern Democrats
to prevent the unseating of Chalmers is
suhlecting them to severe berating by
the southern Bourbon papers. The I'M
willingness of the Democratic congress
men to fillibuster is denounced as a cow
ardly act, and they are told plainly that
unless they 'stand by" the southern bal
lot-box suffers they will knock the bot
tom out OF the party in the SOUTH" The
Charleston News and Courier says
"Cien. Chalmers is Democrat, and that
is reason enough for sticking to him
and making a fight for him to extrcmi.
ties" Another paper, the Macon Tele,
Crap and Messenger, expresses its dis
