FOR d DEEP HARROR.

The deep harbor convention, at Tope-
ka, last week, was success, and it is
believed that congress will do some
thing toward securing southern deep
water. Every state west of the Mississ-
ippi, and several east OF that line, was
represented in the Topeka convention.
The resolutions adopted recite that
cheap transportation constitutes one of
the most important elements of this
country, and congress having donated
to private corporations more than one
hundred millions of money and two
hundred million acres of land with
which to construct expensive artificial
highways and the west, comprising
three-fifths of the national domain Is
forced to transport its commerce across
the continent, at an enormous expense.
therefore
Resolved, That in reaffirmance of the
action OF the Denver convention, and OF
the committees organized hereunder,
it is the sense of this convention that il
is the duty of congress to appropriate
permanently and for immediate use,
deep-water port on the northwest
coast OF the Gulf of Mexico west of
ninety-three and One-half degrees longi-
tude, capable OF admitting the largest
vessels and at which the best and most
acceptable deep harbor can be secured
and maintained in the shortest possible
time, and at least expense, the time.
place and cost to be ascertained from
the board of engineers appointed under
the act OF congress appointed at its last
session.
Resolved, further, That this conven-
ton, in behalf of the people which it
represents, thanks the congress of the
United States for the prompt and salts
factory action heretofore taken in rec.
Oggiti0n OF the request OF the Denver
deep harbOr convention,
Resolved, That the thanks of this
convention are due the permanent COM
mittee appointed at the Denver deep
water convention for their efficient
action in the past and said committee
is hereby requested to continue earnest
ly in the work so we'll begun, and said
committee Is instructed to present these
resolutions to the president of the Uni
ted States, under request that he In his

According to Bradstreet's the volume
of money in circulation October l, was
SIS, 300 900 larger than on September /,
and the increase in three months has
been S2S,6O0,0 600, but the aggregate is
scarcely any, if any larger now than
it was last December. The business
failures in the United States for the
quarter ending with September, were
2,276, showing decrease of S5, or 81
per cent. from last year, but for nine
months the number has been 1879,
showing an increase of 329, or per
cent. The liabilities for the past quar-
ter have been swollen by few large
failures, to 500 .229 ,O45, or 40 per cent
more than for the same quarter last
year, but for nine months the aggregate
has been sos. 055 ,0S9, an increase of 1871
per cent. So these are the good times
promised with the election of Mr.. Har-
rison. An increase in business fail
ures of 163 per cent. in nine months !!
Forty per cent. increase in the amount
of liabilities for the last three months,
as compared with last year! Oh, yes,
the country is prospecting.

Near the close of the war Lincoln
said {: II see in the near future crisis
approaching that unnerves me, and
causes me to tremble for the safety of
our country. AS result of the war,
corporations have been enthrOned, and
an era of corruption In high places will
follow, and the money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices
of the people until all wealth is aggre-
gated in few hands, and the republic
is destroyed. feel at this moment
more anxiety for the safety of my cOun-
try than ever before, even in the midst
of the war. God grant that my suspi-
cions may prove grOundless."

The representatives of the counties
through which the Chicago, Kansas u
Nebraska: railroad (the Rock Island
runs in Kansas. and which voted aid
for the capital stock of tnat road, had
"A meeting at Wichita last week, to see
what could be done toward saving the
stock given to the counties for their aid.
The Metropolitan Trust Company, OF
New York, has brought suit on the
first mortgage bonds of the road, end
if that company forecloses, the counties
that voted aid will be left out. This
action of the Trust company is not a
new thing. All railroads that ask aid
of counties and municipalities, expect
to give first mortgages, that will be
foreclosed for the very purpose of shut
ting out the stock given to local munic-
qualities. When acounty, city or town.
ship votes aid to RAILROAD, it might as
well consider its aid direct donation
for it simply amounts to that.

Morton county wants aid, and has a
committee soliciting in this state. This
sounds strange to people in this part of
Kansas, where such crops have been
raised that the farmers have no place
to store them. We have always said
that the free lands IN the western coun-
ties were dearer than Barber county
land at even 800 per acre. Barber coun-
ty has never asked outside aid, and it
never failed to raise enough for home
consumption and there has not been
one year since 1880 that the county has
Rot sold half million dollars worth of
cattle.

No man in the county can truthfully
say word against II. A. Burnett, the
farmer candidate for register OF deeds.
He has made a partial canvass of the
county and he is growing into the affec-
tions of all the people who have met
him. Absolutely plain and frank, with
every appearance of honesty and COM
potency, he makes friends wherever he
goes. He does not pretend to say that
the voters owe him an election, but he
does promise them to devote his whole
time and attention to keeping up the
Office of register of deeds to its present
state of perfection if he is elected. He
has promised no one deputyship, and
the records of the Office will at all times
be open to the use and inspection OF all
who may want to look up titles, If he is
elected, and MI. Burnett will be elected
unless all appearances are deceiying.

Uncle Dan. Pierce is not only making
good Roadway in his candidacy for COM
missioner from the third district. but
he is meeting with Ovations wherever
be goes. His alleged opponent, Mr..
Eiklor, cannot corral the voters in his
own township. His kid gloves, curled
moustache and perflmed clothes do not
take with the voters. They prefer
sturdy, honest old Daniel to the suave
and sleek Frederick. Watch the re.
turns, aud see if this is not the way il
will turn out.

Four years ago, when the democrats
elected Charlie Nelson and Jim Hall To
office, this paper promised that they
would be model county officers, and
they were. They faithfully discharged
their duties and everybody was satisfied
with their incumbency. Two years ago
Judge Stevens and Jim Hall were elect
ed and we promised that they would be
satisfactory to everybody and they have
been. This year, voters, the democrats
offer you q whole ticket made up of
good men. Judge Stevens is willing to
have his stewardship closely examined
into by every citizen and taxpayer. He
has at all times been faithful, prompt
and absolutely fair in his dealings with
all mean. He has served all papers put
in his hands ana at no time has he need
lessly oppressed the poor or the unfor'
tunate. He is an actual resident of the
county and expects to be whether he is
reelected or not. A vote for Stevens
will be a vote for good man.

When Barber county was organized,
there was no provision made that the
republicans were to have absolute con-
troll of its finances for all time to come.
1t is possible that democrat. Frank
Gordon for instance, would be just as
honest, just as competent, just as ac-
commodatlng as Mr.. Peck, present in
cumbent. Mr.. Gordon has lived here
longer than Mr.. Peck, he pays taxes on
as much property, he comes from a sec
ton of the county that has no represen-
tative in county Office, and he certain
ly is as deserving as Mr.. Peck. Then
why not vote for Gordon for county
treasurer

not doing well. There is scarcity OF
water in several places, and in others
the machinery won't work properly.
All of the mills started up too late this
season. The unnecessary delay will
cost Kansas very much in reputation,
for when there is even partial failure,
it will be heralded as complete fail
ure, and capital will be slow to take
hold of an enterprise with which doubt
