NOTHING NEW.

The Emporia Democrat says of Van Il.
Bennett, the Democratic editor Of the Kan
sds Prohibitionist:
"when he came to Emporia last fall to at
tend the State convention, cooked and prim.
ed with prohibition speech, which he af-
forwards delivered in his tragic style, he
was among the first TO hunt up aplace where
he could get his bottle flied with whisky,
and afterwards repeatedly drank with vari-
Gus gentlemen Of this city,"
The Democrat might have added that Mr..
Bennett vigorously supported the nomina-
ton OF and voted for Governor Click on the
ground that under no circumstances could
he fail to vote the Democratic ticket. Be-
tween drinks Van Il. Bennett is a prohibi.
tionis, and on election day n Democrat. We
cannot see that such advocates can be OF
any benefit to the prohibition cause.-Em-

the NEXT TARIFF CONFERENCE.

1t is possible that the free-trade lion and
the protective-tariff lamb may soon be down
together in peace. Senator Hoar, Of Mas
sachusetts, who is strong protectionist, is
quoted as follows:
81 should be perfectly willing to leave the
whole subject of the tariff revision to leg
islative tariff commission composed entire
ly of free traders, am SO confident that In
the end they would be forced to take po-
sition entirely agreeable to the interests OF
New England manufacturers"
And Senator Beck, of Kentucky, who is
a rabid free trader, recently expressed him
self to the following effect:
"The revenue tax should be adjusted as
far rs possible so as to aid the American in
dustries liz the proportion in which they
can least bear foreign competition"
Messrs. Hoar and Beck would be excellent
members Of the next committee OF confer
ence on the tariff question.

LEAKING OUT.

Through private letters and miscellane-
Gus correspondence to country papers back
east, it is leaking out that the great boom
worked up by railway interests in the north
west is petering out. The whole country
has been overdone. The great bodies of
wheat land in Dacota are q myth. There
are circumscribed sections and valleys
where spring wheat fourishes finely, but
the great central portion Of the State is
barren and drouthy. The most OF WASH
ington and Oregon Is little II any better.
The whole northwest is streaked and spot
ted, with all the choice streaks and spots
taken up years ago. One county in Dacota
where eighteen hundred families were
settled last year but four remain. Thou
sands are coming back, and Kansas will
catch the most of them

years one OF the prominent men OF Kansas,
and who was once elected supreme judge
OF the State, and afterwards twice as judge
of the fifth Judicial district, died at his

markedly tenacious memory. The sentence
Of man found guilty Of murder in the FIRST
degree. and which was a full column In

STRIKE ENDED.

The law Of supply and demand cannot be
broken down by strikes. II is law that
can be affected only In . small degree, or
modified by Legislative enactments. The
great strike OF the telegraphers ended last
Friday, and ended disastrously to many
thousands Of dupes whose families must
now pay the penalty. Strikes are never
successful, even where the demand is ac-
ceeded to for the time being. The law of
