uot was 100000 bushels. This
year toe product is 2l5,Ooo,ooo, or
three and one-half bushels to each
head OF the population, In view Of
the scarcity and high price Of wheat
this is . providential interposition
for the benefit Of people who require

A POLITICAL upheaval once in four
years is a good thing for all the peo-
pie. When conducted properly a
campaign educates the masses in
the great principles that underlie
the Government.

The United States Senate, with
it's Republican majority of two
votes, was the only thing that pre-
vented Mr.. Cleveland and his free

House from plunging the country
into financial distress and ruin.

ONE of the highest evidences of
a nations fitness to a Republican
form of Government is an scquies-
cence in the will of the majority,
honestly expressed at the ballot box.
One party or the other must be in
the ascendant, and the best evidence
defeated party can exhibit of their
patriotic training is to submit when
the verdict of the majority is against
them, and roll up their sleeves and
resolve to forge the beat of every
thing from what they have regarded
as a misfortune.

In a recent speech at Brooklyn
Robert G lngersoll says: The Dem
ocraiic party asks us to bury the
past. Why should we do SO? If
the Democratic party bad glorious
past it would not wish to forget it.
If il were not for the Republican
party there would be no United
States now on the map Of the world.
The Democratic party wishes to
make a bargain with us to say moth
ing about the past aud nothing about
character. 1t reminds me of the
contract that the rooster proposed
TO make with the horse: "Let US
agree not to step on each others
feet"

The best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal ca
tarrh must be nonlrritating, easy
ofapplication, and one that will by
its own action, reach all the remote
sores and liberated surfaces. The
history ofthe efforts totreat catarrh
during the past few years obliges
us to admit that only one remedy
has completely met these conditions
and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mas
tered catarrh as nothing else had
ever done. and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact
The more distressing symptom,

There seems to be a natural prejudice
in the minds of the farmers throughout
the length and breadth of the land,
against towns. Such prejudice is
ABSURD, UNJUST ana 1OOllSn IN the eX-

TO the farmer than to the businessman of
the town. The prosperity of the
farmer depends upon the growth and
prosperity of the city, and depends alb
solutely upon this. While each is de-
pendent upon the other, the country is
far more dependent than the town.

Mandamus proceedings have been be-
gun in the supreme Court of this state by
the Southern Kansas s. Pan Handle rail
road company against the county COM
missioners of Clark county. The COM
pany claims that $50 900 in bonds was
voted to it by Clark county on condition
that the railroad be built to Ashland by
December 81, 1887. and $3.50, 900 in bonds
were voted on condition that it be built
to Englewood, Clark county, by Febru-
ary I. The road is now built, but the
county commissioners refuse to issue the
bonds, and the railroad company, which
belongs to the A. T. & s. F. system, asks
the supreme court to compel the county
commissioners to issue the bonds in ac-
cordance with the election held by the
people. The Supreme court lately is
