The Democratic politicians in Georgia
are good deal disturbed by the efforts
of Sam Small and his associates to
stampede the prohibitionists down there
into the third party. They fear that it
may mean half dozen Republican, con-
gressmen, more or less, from Georgia
districts.

For number Of years the question of
dividing the state of Texas into four
states, has been discussed at intervals.
the chief idea being that by this
means the Democrats could gain control
of the l. 5. senate, each of the four states
beng expected 10 furnish two Democrats
to the senate. The question was sprung
afresh in Texas q short time since but
/. the Pans News jumped on it with both
feet and settled it forever by stating
that such can never be. Among other
things it says: The bugaboo about the
division of Texas into four states, which
seems 10 worry some northern politi-
clans. may as well be laid at rest. Despite
the increased power such a division
would give Texas in the United States
senate, her people do not desire it and
viii not consent 10 il. They are proud
of their state. proud of the record which
tells the world how they won their soil
from Mexico. erected it into an indie
pendent republic and afterward Joined
the sisterhood OF states. proud OF the
magnitude of her area and her wonder
full resources. The spirit Of devotion to
the Union which actuates them is fos-
tered by that state OF pride. which
claims that Texas must remain one and
inseparable.' So be il.

that a large body Of Republicans are like

biggest thing that ever took place in
Kansas, politically. The editor afore-
said telegraphed from Albany to his pa

Gen. Black has been rated on the pen
sion rolls as physical wreck, and draws
in consequence a pension of 81 200 year
in addition to his salary of $1,000. Some
have professed to doubt the extent of
that wreck, but his after-dinner speech
at the Iroquois club banquet in Chicago
the other night should satisfy the skep-
tics. 1t was pronounced the most bitter
and ill-tempered political harangue heard
for many years. The after-dinner speech
is generally supposed to be a specimen
of oratory quite unlike this. The good
cheer that aids digestion can hardly be
promoted by the bitter, vlndictive spleen
which General Black flung out on that
occasion. The Des Moines Register
thinks there is good deal of method in
his madness; that he is afflicted with an
overweening desire to be vice-president,
that.his speech was bid for the nomin-
alton.

Since the decision of the Bell telephone
case by the U. S. supreme court a short
time agoa statement of the companys
business for the year 1887 has been made
public, which shows the gross earnings
to have been three millions, four hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, and ex-
penses one million, two hundred and
thirty-two thousand dollars. The earn
ings is double the amount of the expenses
and is the result of the monopoly of the
patent held by the company. The eff
feet of the recent decision will be to
strengthen the monopoly, and instead of
reducing the cost of the service to the
people, as it should, it will be an excep-
tional case if its tariffs are not increased.

-Four years ago Governor Hill was the
strongest Democrat in New York, and
until within the last few weeks he was
regarded by his friends as the strongest
Democrat in the country, Mr.. Cleveland
not excepted, but some irregularities in
his administration was publicly charged
against him; an investigation was
ordered by the state legislature, and now
he is not only not spoken Of any longer
as a possible presidential candidate, but
it is doubtful if he stands for an endorse
ment by his party of that state. ACCUSE
tons Of official irregularity are not
likely to be made where there are no
grounds for them: still they are not con-
elusive proof of guilt. For the sake of
the position he occupies it is to be hoped
Governor Hill will be vindicated by the
investigation ordered to be made.

stated that the announcement recently
given out to the effect that Mr.. Cleve-
land favors the nomination of Governor
Gray, of Indiana, for vice-president on
the ticket with himself is not true. The
president, he says, has not committed
himself in favor of any candidate. He
is quite willing to leave that matter
to the convention, in the belief that
man will be chosen who will add
strength to the ticket and be satisfactory
to the party at large. Who said the

and worthy citizens gentlemen who
would have been pleased and gratified
to have gone to Chicago as delegate
from this congressional district, or to
have been named presidential elector

a delegate at large is of vastly more inn
portance, and that no man in our midst
could better ill the bill with honor to
himself and satisfaction to not only this
city and county, but to the satisfaction
of southwest Kansas, than Col James R.

grounds do the Republicans of this

The state convention which meets at
Wichita, May 9, to elect four delegates
and four alternates to the Republican con-
vention at Chicago, is not likely to run
short of candidates, there being already
about twenty aspirants, with half the
counties OF the state yet to hear FROM
Atchison Champion.
While this may be true in general
terms, it is likewise true that SO far as is
known there is practical unanimity Of
sentiment in regard to the aspirations, if
you please, Of one of the gentlemen
whose name has been mentioned in that
connection. That Col. J. r. Hallowell
will be made one of the delegates from
the state at large seems to be accepted in
advance Of the meeting of the conven
ton.
