A device has been tested in Cincinnati
for rendering broken electric wire
harmless to any one who may come in
contact with it. This is an instrument
attached to each of the main wires lead
ing from the generators, and by its action
whenever break in the wire occurs, the
current is checked and the alarm bell is
sounded. Its operation, so far, is re-
ported satisfactory, and if it continues to
do the work intended it will certainly
lessen the dangers from this cause.

In the fight between the Frisco-Ha-
waiian sugar king, Claus Spreckers, and
the eastern sugar trust we are for Claus.
He saws he will sell sugar for two cents
a pound rather than let the eastern
monopolists get away with him. AS a
California paper remarks it makes us
feel real sweet on the potentate of the
Pacific for such kindly action. In such
contests between monopolies we feel in
clined to ..sick EN- on when the results
are calculated to benefit the consumers.
1t is the after-claps we dread, however,
and they nearly always come.

Senator Henderson of Nebraska, says
the number of protection Democrats in
the northwest is fully equal to that of
the free trade Republicans. The neces-
sary admission as to free trade Republi-
cans mollifies the accompanying claim;
still the statement is not without encour-
agement, for it is known protection
Democrats in the south already consti-
tute potential factor in the politics of
that section, while free trade Republic
cans are an unknown quantity there.

to remark.

The Abilene Gazette, the champion of
the so-called capital removal move. says
'.if the capital is removed from Topeka the
people of that city will be to blame for
it, Such frank admission that it is a
personal matter between the Gazette
man and the Topekans was hardly to be
expected at this early stage in the game,
and would not have been made if the
proposition had not been stified by its
own absurdity.

for abundant crops, with the certainty
of another new and great field,
the Indian Territory being added to the
domain of her trade in the near future,
with her great livestock market and
slaughtering interests opening out full
handed and strong, and the Peerless
Princess becomes a queen indeed.
In the possession of these forces and
adjuncts alone Wichita will make such
strides in advancement and life as can be
equaled by no other city in the west;
but these are but a 1.-THE Of the acces-
series and auxiliaries which will stimulate
and inLrease the volume of her onward
sweep and momentum. Roaring fires
are to be started under the great boilers,
and in the seething furnaces
of the extensive work shops
and big factories where the hum
of busy machinery and the multitude Of
MANY hands will be adding life and
wealth to the other general results.
Some of these works and factories, as
our people know, are among the most ex-
tensive and stupendous of their char
acter to be found on this continent. But
few weeks are now to elapse before the
army of operatives who are to man three
or four of these great industries will be
coming. and the smoke of their tall
chimneys will be pouring out their black
volumes over the busy life of the city.
If these were not more than enough to
fulfil all that is promised in the way of
great and prosperous year for Wichita
we might add the building operations of
the year, to inumerate which would I'M
necessarily take up space. To
say nothing of the numerous
business edifces and blocks and the
hundreds of residence which are to add
to the beauty and solidity of the city,
there will be more money expended in
public editices alone than will be eX-
pended in the building operations of
every character in any city in the west.
The Woman's college and the Judson
university and the Bright university, all
with foundations already in are to be
built; the government building; the finest
most magnificent and imposing court
house in the state; two, probably three
great passenger railway depots, costing
fifty thousand or more each, etc., etc, &
million dollars to be expended in public
edifces and institutions alone in 1888
and Wichita will boom and spread ant
bloom as only she can bloom and spread
and boom.
In brief, our business men, our mer
chants, manufacturers, bankers and rea
estate firms are adjusting their affair
for an expansion and growth which
for solidity and permanency will coun
more for Wichita's future than the tri
umphs Of any year of her past, howeve
brilliant that year may have been. Othe
railroads may come, and no doubt will
other manufacturing plants ma.
come, and no doubt will
other enterprises of various characters
other wholesale and retail houses ant
other institutions and other capitalist
may come, and no doubt will, but the.
will only add to the success and import
ance of all the other things enumerate
as secured-only render more full an
complete the prosperity which is alread.

From the activity displayed by the
eastern powers in Fastening war prepare
tions it seems that the willy old German
premier's peace speech before the reich
stag is susceptible of double interpreta-

to interpret him by the rule of con-

O. Dread of the crank of the vicious sort
seems to have been dispelled from the
public official mind. In 1885 President
Cleveland was so afraid that somebody
wanted to kill the president of the United
States, if they caught him travelling that
he could not attend the funeral of Vice
President Hendricks-so he said. Now,
however, he can go to Florida and take
a junketing trip, and never wink an eye
in fear

The Kansas City Star commits itself to
the opinion that Bob Ingersolrs speech
nominating Blaine before the Republi-
can convention in Cincinnati was one
the most striking and imprisoned flights
of oratory in Ingersoll's career, and it
had more to do with making Blaine a
''big man" in the estimation Of the peo-
pie than any other singular circum-
stance" 1t was, indeed, a grand orator
ical effort, but it served rather to add to
Ingersoll's fame as rhetorician than
to elevate Blaine in the estimation of the
people. Blaine's genius and abilities as a
statesman were proven by his public SER
vice, and the popular recognition of
these qualities gave him prominence and
designated him big man" long before
the fascinating eulogium mentioned was
pronounced. Nor does Ingersoll's opinion
of Blaine now affect in the least the pop
ular estimate in which the great states
man is held.

The Blair educational bill seems to be
the most completely on-partisan,to be
political one, of any question that has
been before congress for years; at least
the vote of the senate by which the bill
passed that body shows that condition in
that body. What shape the discussion
of the measure may take in the house
cannot be guessed. though we think it
safe to predict its defeat there.

1T is said that everything goes by ex-
tremes and the aphorism, if it may be SO
called, finds something of an illustration
in the experience of Kansas City since
the holidays. The evangelists, Jones
and Small, aroused the city as it never
was before, and the moral effects upon
the community was described as bene-
fetal as widespread. Scarcely had the
evangelists ceased their labors when the
city was placed under ban of robbers
and cut threats, and despite the efforts
of the police to rid the city of their pres
ence they are still plying their vocations.
We trust the city of the hills may soon
be able to throw off such incubus, and
at the same time caution our own public
guardians to extra diligence that our
city may not share like experience, as
to the last mentioned.

The American missionaries in western
Persia make an earnest appeal to rich
and charitably disposed people at home
for immediate help. The pinchlng pow
erty of six months ago is becoming
actual famine, they say. They are anx-
ious to succor the starving Mohammed-
ans around them, but naturally their
first concern is for their converts. The
Rev. Mr.. Coan writes that thousand OF
these native Christians will perish OF
hunger before spring unless help is sent
at once. One Of the women Of the mis-
sion, who lived and worked through the
terrible famine of 1879, writes that
another such experience will surely kill
her or drive her mad. A little money
has been sent, but 81, 600 or $1,000 more
is urgently needed.
