MONDAY, DEC. 10.

In the Senate, after the morning hour, MI
Frye (Me.) submitted a resolution instructing
the Committee on Foreign Affairs TO inquire
into the condition of affairs in the Samoan
Islands as far as the interests aud rights of
American citizens residing there were affected; ;
the relations of the United States to those
islands and her obligations under existing
treaties; the necessity of maintaining the neu-
trality or independence OF the islands; what
steps had been taken In this direction by the
United States Government; our duty in this
regard, and what further action, if any, is de-
manded.
Mr.. Frye spoke at considerable length to his
resolution, saying he thought action on this
subject imperative. lie gave a history of the

Complaints came to the State Department from
our Consul there, and we sent a Commissioner
to investigate the trouble, and a conference be-

In this conference the German representative
demanded that Germany might control these
islands for i've years, which demand was re-
fused. During q recess taken by the Com
mission German feet started for the islands.

STILL-BORN.

at is probable that this week will
close the career of the Daily Tribune"
Thus begineth the leading editorial,
1.-THE snake editor having been suppress
edl, in the twilight Organ of Wednes-
day evening; and thus endeth another
grand scheme of our religious editor.
When we started the Graphic, which
lived beautifully and heartily for more
than year, our Bloody alley neighbor
saw fit to call it ''the infant" and pre-
dicted for it short life. If an infant
it was not still-born, and did not at
tempt to make people believe it had to
become an object of charity i'll order
that it might live. When we saw that
it was more than this city could afford
to keep up daily paper, we told our
friends so and stopped the paper. The
| Graphic was missed, and many of our
friends desired that we again start it
up, they agreeing to guarantee a GER
tain amount of advertising for a year.
About this time, probably, Brother
Townsley conceived the brilliant idea
that he could step right in, take up the
ground We had broken and made to
blossom (feebly), and upon the popular
ity of the Graphic build up daily after
his own taste. So, he jumped our little
claim; he made hurried trip to Hutch
inson to secure the patent" arranged
for our fat man; rubbed noses with the
one or two business t?) men who could
not get the Graphic run in their particu.
lar way, and with a few other mastery
moves probably did the writer hereof
lasting benefit by shutting off any
chance of our reviving our daily, and
by turning loose upon an innocent and
unsuspecting public the festive ''snakt
editor.''

REPUBLICAN TACTICS

We hear but little said yet as to the
county candidates. The boys are not
disposed to let their friends push them
forward prematurely this year. Last
years campaign reminds them that
man wants but little here below, but
wants it as quick as possible.
The probabilities are that but little
will be known as to the candidates I'M
til the convention meets. This is per-
haps time enough, as the candidates
have become accustomed to buying d
good many men each year, and the
shorter the campaign, the shorter the
purse.-Ifiblsoe.
Brother Townsley don't know a little
bit; he don't know that such give
away of his party as is found i'll the
above is the best thing he could posi-
bly, say in favor of the democracy of
Barton county. With his usual bad
tact he openly exposes the manner in
which republican campaign is car
ried OH here, He speeks for his own
party, of course; he has no authority to
speak for democracy. thank the Lord;
and we doubt very much if his whole
sale blabbing is sanctioned by the party
leaders of his political faith i'll the
county. 1t has been well known that,
in the fixing of republican tickets, the
man with the longest purse has stood
the best show. Their style of election
eering, however, has proven more I'M
successful each year, until to-day the
party has bartered and traded itself
out of the support of many honest
men who believe that it is a crime to
use money in politics.

SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

ing made temporary chairman and Nj.
n. Jones temporary secretary. After

sion, John Ives, of Sterling, was made
permanent chairman, and John b.
Hines, of st. John, permanent secre-
tary.
Sam1 Maher put in nomination for
state senator, Mr.. Chas. E. Sowle, of
Great Bend, seconded by H. j. Rect
eel. J. Mesmore, of Raymond, put in
nomination Mr.. Frank Ross, of Alden,
which was seconded by Geo. Clark, of
Lyons. Eight ballots were then taken,
resulting in no choice of a candidate.
L. NJ. Spies, of st. John, then placed

st. John, which nomination was sec
onded by John B. Hines. Seven bal

eighth ballot was taken, which resulted

The following senatorial executive
committee was selected, viz: Fred
Zutavern and II. J. Kline, of Barton;
G. S. Mace and - Smith, of Stafford;
w. L. Brown and G. Campbell, of Rice.
THE NOMINEE.
Frank w. Ross, the nominee, and the
man who will represent this district in
the next state senate, is, in the minds
of all conversant with the present COM
plication of affairs political and other
wise, in Rice county especially, good
selection. He is man some thirty
years old; well and favorably known
throughout his county, and man who
will make good impression wherever
he goes. Full of manhood and west
ern determination he will make an
honest and a brave canvass of the
whole district. He is at present in the
mercantile business at Alden, in Rice
county, and for a number of years was
farmer south of that town. He has
always been identified with the demo
cratic party, and is known as strong
man in his own community because OF
his ability to make and retain personal
friends. Mr.. Ross has been successful
in business, is temperate in all things
and will do to tie to.

CONDITION OF KANSAS CROPS.

The secretary of the State Board OF
Agriculture furnishes the following
synopsis of his report for July 31st:
Reports from about six hundred cor
respondents of this board, representing
nearly every county in the state, show
that while the wheat and oats crops are
yielding a higher average than hereto
fore reported, the corn crop has natur-
ally suffered from the effects of the
drouth and hot winds in many sections
of the state during the last ten days of
July.
In many dounties of the state consid-
cradle wheat has been threshed and
the average yield per acre is found to
be higher than it was estimated a
month ago, making an estimated aver
age of wheat per acre of eighteen bush
els. From a breadth of 200, 900 acres
the estimated average of the state, will
give a total product of IS, OO0,O 900 bush
els.
The outlook for corn throughout the
state has undergone complete change
since our last report, especially so in
the last week of July, and as serious
damage has been done to this crop in
many sections of the state since the re-
ports were sent from which the sum-
mary is made, the condition of the
crop at this time is believed to be lower
than the appended figures would seem
to indicate:

OUR republican friends don't appear
to relish the comparisons drawn by
Rev. Richardson at his prohibition
meeting the other night. One COM
parison he made was this: Two teams
were hitched to loaded wagons, one
team was composed of a republican
mule and prohibition horse, aud
the other team was composed of two
democratic mules. The mule team, he
said, were willing and united, and pull
ed together, and yanked their load
right along, while the other team
would not work at all; the mule was
the strongest and pulled back while the
horse pulled ahead, but of course could
not bulge the load while the republi-
can mule was stubborn and balky.
Allegorically, the comparison was a
daisy.
