Topeka Journal suggests that 1.-THE only
wav to satisfy Kansas City, KAN, will
be to cede the territory on which she
stands to Missouri. All Of Kansas City
and its suburbs ought to De In Missouri
or Kansas. one or the other. The alb
surditv of having state line running
through the center of a populous city Is
apparent to every one. Kansas City,
Kan, would probably-the state of Kan
sas would certainly-object to such a
proposition. for the reason that it con-
templates the possibility OF losing the
portion of the city on our side Of the
line. The equity Of the proposition
would give the entire city, on both sides
of the line, to Kansas, IN as much as 1t
not ONLY furnished the location name,
but built it up, in the main, and has
made it what it is, and still continues in
a large measure to sustain 1t. To cede
the consolidated cities 10 Kansas would
be but to return 10 the state what Of
right belongs to her. As for the city 5
interests, nothing could be so conducive
thereto as to place it under the invigor-
ating, fructifying influence OF this pro-
rresssive commonwealth. Ii would give
| il a stiInulous such as it has never en-
/ loved in all It's marvellous career.

TIE THIRD PARTY.

Probibitionists are fond of comparing
themselves to the. party OF Garrison,
Wendell Phillips and John Brown, and
saving that the ultimate success OF the
abolition movement Is an index 10 what
will come of their activities.
This does very well as rhetoric, but
rather poorly as fact and argument. AS
the San Diego Union pertlnently re-
marks. if there ever was total faliure
in American politics it was the abolition
third party-a body which never elected
governor or president, and rarely a
congressman; which never passed an
anti-slavery law or defeated a slavery
measure: which saw all its plans mis-
carry, and one of its leaders hanged; and
finally saw emancipation come at the
hands of men and measures that had
been the objects of its calumnious and
incessant Misrepresentation.
The abolition third party was IN favor
of secession long before Fort Sumpter
was fired upon-secession from the
south. Wendell Phillips advocated the
measure on the stump. and Garrison IN
the press. The flag was denounced as "a
Haunting lie whose stripes are bloody
scars" and Abraham Lincoln was de-
scribed as 1.-The slave hound from Hi
nois." The Garrisonians would have
none of the Republican party, which
they abused as covenant with death
and a league with hell" Their fight
was for immediate, unconditional eman-
cipation, in spite of the law, in defiance
of the constitutional guarantees OF
slavery and the dictates of common
sense.
The war came on, and in its prosecu-
ton Mr. Lincoln found his motives
maligned, his hands hindered and his
administration abused, as much by abo-
litionists as copperheads. But he went
on with his work, and when the time
came to overthrow the slave power he
did so, aided by a Republican con-
gress and the army that had come to-
gether at his call. Not prominent abo-
litionist won any share Of the credit III
The army, the council chamber or the
forum.
History repeats itself III the present
third party movement. The Prohibl-
tionists demand something at single
legislative step which can only be gained
by slow processes. The Republican par
tv, which contains two-thirds of the
temperance vote Of the country, is pick
ing its way carfully along to the final
extinction of the rum traffic, and If not
thwarted by the third party men, will
reach that goal in good season. When
it gets there, no doubt it will find the
third party Growing over the ''tinal tri-
umph" of a cause which had done little
more for it than the Garrison and Phil
lips men did for emancipation.

A vote for Cleveland is, if he himself
understands it vote for cheaper cloth
ing, therefore cheaper wages; IS vote
for bigger monopolies, therefore bigger
trusts; is vote for cheaper provisions,
therefore cheaper farmers: is vote for
cheaper everything, until the country IN
its cheapness has become pauperized,
when the importers of the cheap pro-
ducts of other countries would outnum-
Der the manufacturers of products in
this. That's the logic of all free trade
theories in nut shell, and those who
say it amt are not laborers nor produc-
ers, but are such as expect to live
and flourish without labor, and cheaply,
on the result of cheap market coming
of an enforced cheap labor. A man
who is worth ten or twenty thousand
dollars in any of the cheap labor and
pauperized countries of Europe can live
independently. With cheap labor and
free trade Cleveland could, himself, live
the balance of his life sumptuously on
the interest OF the money which he
has saved up from his salary as presi-
dent. and nobody knows that fact better
| than himself.

BETTING IN NEW YORK.
A Lively Business Doing IN the Placini
Of Money on the National Result.

The announcement is made, says the
New York World, that II. Fl. Warner
the liver cure man of Rochester, has
twenty-five thousand dollars which
he was anxious to bet on MIR. Harrison
even.
Saturday Police Commissioner Steve
French bet $1,000, even, that Harrison
would win. Mr.. French has $4,000
staked on Mr. Harrison's election III diff
ferent sums. One bet of $500 to S50(
that the Republicans would carry this
state he made last June before any one
had been nominated. Mr.. French re-
CARDS his bets IS perfectly safe. He
says: IF were rich man l would bet
good deal more, for l think we have
got good thing this year. It.
just like finding money to bet on Harri-
son."
A prominent halter uptown was re,
ported yesterday as anxious to put ur
SO. 900 on Harrison.
The members of the Republican ma
tional committee have made a number
of bets. They do not care. however, to
have their bets made public, for the sake
of appearances. Chairman Quay has q
penchant for betting on elections, and
this year he is said to have gone in quite
heavily. If Harrison IS elected he
will probably be at least so ahead. and
besides have a sufficient supply of clothes
and hats TO last him until the next
presidential election.
General Goodloe, of Kentucky, has eX-
pressed his confidence IN Harrison cleo
ton to the extent Of several thousand
dollars. Last week he met a man who
was anxious to put up one thousand dol
lars against five hundred that Cleveland
would carry Indiana. General Goodloe
covered this at once. saying that 1t was
too good chance to lose.
Abel Green, of Chicago, secured bet
of five hundred dollars even money on
the state of Connecticut, and one hun
dred dollars against seventy-five on the
general result. Mr.. Green's money is
Democratic. The man who backed on
the other side is Harrison Smith, of Gin
cinnati
Ex-Congressman Jack Adams has
nearly ten thousand dollars bet on the
election in various sums. Mr.. Adams is
very sore on Mr.. Cleveland for some rea-
son, and his friends say he has allowed
his feelings to influence his judgment.
He has made several bets even that Har
rison would win, and one bet of FIVE hun
dred dollars that Harrison Will poll one
hundred thousand votes in this city.

THE EVERLASTING JEW.

Alex Godlenson. who was hung in San
Francisco last week, was a member of d
Jewish family. Only two Hebrews have
been hung in the United States before
Newton Republican.
The Hebrews are as much Gods chos-
en- people today as they ever Were. The
race has more vitality, more purity Of
blood. greater longevity than that of any
other race or people. They are peculiar
" true to themselves, vet readily adopt
their outward life to the life of the ma
tionality to which they may happen TO
belong. Intermarriage, so far as their
race is concerned, has never weakened
them physically. morally or mentally.
They are the most moral race on the
globe and have ever been. Godlenson
was the third Jew ever hung in the Unit
ed States. Their women are the health

Gen. D. w. Wilder who has been trav-
cling about the United States the past
summer. says that he don't believe he
was on train, car or steamboat in
which the majority were not for Harri-
son. That is probably true, yet after
all, his experience, or that fact, is not a
reliable indication of a majority at the
polls. The truth is. the great majority
of the travelling public, the great majority
of people found upon cars, steamboats,
and the like, either travelling or who are
but just going somewhere, somewhere
"to see the folks or on business, are of
that live, wide-awake, progressive, enter

.Tudoe Thurman is represented

Judge Thurman is represented as
inqui ring why, if protective tariff has
a tendency to increase wages, laborers
in unprotected industries are as well
paid as those in protected industries:
He fails to see that where wages are
unequal an outflow of laborers from the
lower paid employments to the higher
will set in until an equilibrium is estab-
lished, and that as a protected tariff
creates more diversified industries and a
greater demand for labor, the compen-
sation of all will be increased. On the
other hand, closing up certain depart
ments 1.of toll and concentrating the
workers in others will reduce wages.

Los Angeles raised thirteen thousand
dollars as fund for the entertainment
of the Odd Fellows. The San Diego
Union thinks that amount good local
Investment, probably the best that could
be had, and will answer the purpose in
no small way, that was served by the
one hundred thousand dollars Knights
Templar fund in San Francisco. That is
to say, as an advertisement of that
locality. Perhaps so; but if the visiting
Odd Fellows are taken in simply by a
display of hospitality such as thirteen
thousand dollars will provide that body
for week they are more perfect
gudgeons than we take them to be.

On Which Side?
Nondescript.

NOnutsCfIpl-
1t is suggested that American women
who ride should no longer follow the
English fashion of sitting on the left
side of the horse. There the custom of
turning to the left on the road places
the lady away from the wheels of any
vehicle she NAV meet. But here com
sense dictates that the woman sit on the
right. They haye good precedent. The
princess of Wales, for special reasons,
always does, and the empress of Austria
sits either WAY.
