ooIoneI chew Not a candIdate.

We arc authorized by Hon. R. P. Chew, of
Jefferson county, to say that he ia not can
didate for Speaker of the House of Delegates.
There are number of contestants for the
place. and Col. Chew thinks it best to simplify
matters by letting it he known that he is not
in the field. Colonel Chew enjoys to a rare
degree the confidence of the people of this
State. and as Speaker of the House would have
guarded the public interests with zeal and abil-
ity. His sterling Democracy is shown in his
determination not to be in any manner tho
cause of additional complications in the ranks
of his party. The unselfish example Of this
gentleman might be patterned after by some
of his party associates, to the inestimable ad-
vantage of the Democratic party.

THE MONETARY sI,UAraON

Concerning the existing condition of
our current finances the Globe-Demo-
crat speaks as follows:
The fact that the surplus reserve in
the banks of the New York Clearing
steadily lessening for the past few
weeks, has been entirely swept away,
need not in itself cause any alarm
among business interests. 1t is not,
to be sure, an altogether encouraging
circumstance. For more than five
years past the reserves of the New
York banks have always been in excess
of the % per cent which the law re-
quires them to hold as security for de-
pOsits. Often during this period the
margin has been small, but there al
ways has been some margin. Even
during the season of crop movement,
as at present, when the drift OF money
to the interior has been greatest and
moot prolonged, the banks have, since
MAY, 1884, taking them as a whole,
managed to avoid deficit.
1t is well for the public to bear in
mind however, that down to seven or
eight years ago deficit in the fall
months of the year was the rule and
not the exception. Nor does this con-
dition of things necessarily foreshadow
1881 and 1882 the bank reserves were
several times below the legal limit, yet
those were years in which the general
trade throughout the country was I'M
usually large and profitable. No pan
ic is at all probable at the present time
or in the near future. The crops are
more than ordinarily heavy. The de-
mand for our cereals in Europe is
greater than it has been in recent years
bank clearances and railroad earnings
are far in excess of those OF year ago.
and the business of the country gener-
ally is on a solid and conservative ba-
sis, while the movement of money to
the interior 90 market the crops will
lessen in a week or two, and cash again
begin to accumulate in the financial
centers. Beyond the opportunity which
money scarcity offers to spectators to
manipulate the market and precipitate
a temporary squeeze" the financial
outlook is not at all discouraging.

WHEN the wool manufacturers of
the east, whose business is on the de-
cline, began to grumble a few weeks
ago about the tariff on wool and clamor
for reduction, Mr.. Columbus Delano,
as head of the wool growers associa-
ton, got on his mettle instantly, and
gave the factory lords to understand
that they could come no such dodge as
that on his association, and that they
must stand to the original contract be-
tween themselves and the association
Of wool growers. fixing the tariff rates
on both wool and woolens. He called
q convention OF wool growers to meet
at Washington at the opening of con-
gress to see that no unholy hands be
laid on the wool tariff. and to tell the
manufacturers that if they insist on
reduction of the wool tariff, he will
see to it that there shall likewise be a
corresponding reduction in the tariff
on woolens. They shall not repupiate
old contracts and enjoy the sweets Of
tariff reduction without taking the
bitter also. Delano wants an increase
in the wool tariff. The two associa-
tions are powerful and hold each other
in check. The conflict between them
win probably result in a com
promise, and congress will be asked
to increase the tariff on woolens in or
der to compensate the factory lords for
the losses they now sustain from the
wool tax.

ARa,,ro.a 70 P,ke,. Psak

Mr.. b. Lantry, of Strong City, Kan
sas was in the city last evening, direct
from Pixies Peak, 90 which point he is
building a railroad from the Iron
Springs at Manitou. Only three
weeks ago B. Lantry & Son undertook
to build line of railroad over the
thirteen miles of territory between the
points named, guaranteeing to COM
plete the work in one year. One or
two former projects of similar nature
have resulted in failure. but Mr.. Lam
try declared to a reporter for the Jour-
nal that he would complete the road
within the specified time, beyond any
doubt Speaking of the work he said:
1--WE commenced at the top of the
mountain first. for the reason that we
thought we could finish the three miles
above timber before winter set in.
The government has very kindly
rented US one or two buildings usually
devoted to the uses of the signal ser
vice corps station on the peak. and in
these we manage TO keep our 800 men
very comfortably. OF course, where
we are now at work is away up among
the clouds. and it is right annoying to
run against q transient rain or snow
storm every few hours. There hasn't
been a day passed since we began WORK
but that we had either rain, snow OF
sleet storm, and frequently the clouds
hover about so thick that we can't rec
ognize each other fifteen feet apart.
The road we are building is owned by
the presidents of several Western rail
way systems, and when completed will
touch the highest point of any road in
the world. The summit depot will be
right at the Flagstaff. The grade is an
enormous one, being twenty-five feet
| to the 100. or a One-fourth pitch, the
heaviest on record. The plan of con-
struction is similar to that of the
White Mountain road in New Hamp-
shire. The company expects to have
it in operation by July, 4, $780,

platform demands resubmission, are
going to sweep the county if something
is not done TO check the tide. There
fore, to eail back the deserters, and
prevent defamation in the ranks, they
put up Bentley and HaIlowelI and q
few other jays who yell TesubmisslUn
from Dan to Beersheba, and denounee
prohibition in Tomlinson's choicest
style. These fellows ten the people
that the republicans OF Wichita are as
good and faithful resubmissionists as
the democrats, and that it is only
through the republican party the peo-
pie can hope for relief from the odious
and obnoxious law. Hereafter If the
political Sanhedrim at headquarters
finds any fault with the Wichita gang
they can proudly point to their plat
form and say There is our DECLARE
alton OF principles, find any trace Of
resubmission if you cam And SO they
run with the hare and yell with thu
hounds, and play upon the voters as 81
many flutes. They are a smooth
gang, these Wichita jays, but If the
democrats don't expose the duplicity
and deception of the little game, AMI
defeat it, they win earn the contempt
of even their republican adversaries.

THE Wichita Eagle blows hot and
cold as the within directs. In col
umn and half double loaded editorial
it cracks the whip over the Tepubli-
cans of Sedgwick county and tells them
of their duty to the ',pure principles
of the republican party. In day or
two, it will be screeching rebellion
and kicking like mule at the admins
tration in both state and nation. Only
a short time ago it told US that one of
Kansas great misfOrtunes was her in
vineibla majority, and now we are told
that what ever of good is to come to
the state can only come through the
republican party, and that any county
with a democratic representative will
be practically disfranchised, as he
twill not be even listened TO, much less
counted" Colonel Murdoch and his
editors would do well TO get together
once.

aiming 20 be brief, I give q few Obiec- |
tlohs. HHb n reverence to the size of
pipes ms maximum is Is inches. my
estlmate IS Tor 70 inches; there are
many reasons for being liberal in The
size OF mains, one is the small differ
ence IN the cost, and great danger Of
packing water into cellars. and of sfou-
ages; II an inch sewer gets stopped.

ZION Du5 fall with q 10O, 900. His location
OF mains, all bring at the south nor
ton of the city, would REQUIRE laterals
300 to .O00. feet long. all the way
from Twelfth Avenue to South Kansas,
or Logan avenue, requiring them all to
pass under the railroad track.
L Will refer to few objections to
MS location, and advantages in the
plan which have submitted namely
the locations of mains on Second and
Fourth avenues shorten the distance
OF laterals about one half. It saves
passing under the railroad track of a
great portion of the laterals. it
furnishes to citizens on Fourth ave-
nues and north who are asking for
MAINS and could not afford to
wait until laterals were built
/ from Kansas or Logan avenue while it
would be equally unjust to require
them TO construct laterals Years
before they were needed.
In dispensing with the sewer on
State street from Fourth avenue to
Logan. and a portion of Logan avenue
as given by Mr.. Waring, we gain
nearly the cost of Fourth avenue main
and by placing main on Second ave-
: nue. we accommodate q larger number
OF citizens that soon will need sewer

ton of three-fourths of the mains as
reported, it will be ten or fifteen years

CONGRESSMAN MILLS gives 1t out
cold and fat that the democrats do not
propose to suffer any measure to be-
come law at the next session which
they do not approve Of. That may be
all very well from certain stand
point, but as matter of expediency,
it might be better for the fortunes OF
the democrats if they sing low as OBJ
structionists, and give the republicans
full swing. The relation of the two
parties in congress to each other is
such, that tue republicans can more
easily commit suicide than the demo
Gratis can homicide.
