WHY THOMAS H. RANDALL SHOULD
BE REELECTED.

! Probably one of the most careful,
strictly honest and clear headed men
ever elected to Office in Sedgwick county
is Thomas H. Randall, of the third COM
missioner district. While a commits
sioner is elected by the voters of district.
he nevertheless fills position of more
importance and of greater interest to the
whole people of the county than that
filled by any other officer. The COM
missioDers under Kansas laws compose
the legislative and executive powers of
the county, and to some extent the
judicial. Cool, level headed men are
needed for county commissioners, and
what is more important still, honest
men, men who cannot be corrupted nor
even approached with a corrupt PROPOSE
ton. To this class of officials belongs
Tom Randall. His record stands unim-
peached and it is unimpeachable, and
the people of the county at large are in
terested in his reelection to the place he
has SO capably filled. The tax payers all
over the county, whose interest it is to
keep Randall where he is until that court
house is completed and accepted or re-
lected, can only look to the voters of the
Third district to return him. 1t will be,
and it is to the interest of the county,
that at least two members of the board
who were members when the contract was
let, and who have been with it all
through, and who know all about the
conditions. etc., should still be on the
board when it is completed. If Randall
should fail of election, then but one. the
the old board who let the contract. and
which old members know all the condi-
tons and interest surrounding it. As
county, therefore, we cannot afford to
have Randall removed from the board at
the present time, much less for a COM
paratively new man in the state, who
has only personal interests in the county,
which might be closed out in day.
Such a man, We're he the most honest
that ever settled here and the most COM
petent, and had he bought great real
estate interests, could not fill Tom Ran
dalrs place, SO far as the interests of the
taxpayer are concerned, the place of
man who not only knows every foot of
the country and all its history, but Who
has spent the best years of his life here,
and whose all is here. These facts to-
gether with his honesty and capacity and
together with his experience in county
affairs and his knowledge of the great
building now being put up by the county
render his services for the next year or
two invaluable, audit is sincerely hoped
that the people Of the Third district will
carefully consider these propositions and
truths and vote accordingly.

The people of Pittsburg are fearing a

The people of Pittsburg are fearing a
failure of natural gas in their city. The
professor of geology in the University of
West Virginia says, that according to
experience and scientific investigations,
the production of natural gas will largely
increase for years to come. If the last
announcement be correct, and there
seems to be no good reason to doubt it.,
the first discovery of that illuminant and
its immense consumption above ground
was most fortuitous circumstance, else
the large increase in its production
would have caused serious and probably
most disastrous eruptions in the vacinity
of the localities where the immense SUBJ
terranean reservoirs are known to exist.

The interest which the wholesale nler-

fight against the attempted foreclosure
of the mortgage held by the MetroDoli-

Kansas are preparing to resist the fore
closure, which appears to be plain
scheme on the part OF the Rock Island to
freeze out the stockholders and gain
possession of the Chicago, Kansas &
Nebraska, on which it has lease of
ninety years. If the Rock Island should
be compelled to make a statement Of its
business in the courts, which it is the
purpose of the Chicago, Kansas &
Nebraska stockholders to force
it to do, it can doubtless
be shown that it is able to pay
the interest on the bonds held by the
Metropolitan Trust company, and that it
is responsible for the Indebtedness of the
Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska road. The
stockholders seem to have strong case,
and are backed by ample means to make
All aggressive fight against the Rock ISL
and in the courts.
The foreclosure, if carried out, will
awaken a strongly hostile sentiment
against the Rock Island in Kansas and
wherever stock in the Chicago, Kansas
& Northwestern is held, and in the end
it would lose more in the way of bust
ness and moral support than it would
gain by the course which it proposes.
The people of Kansas have been exceed
ingly friendly to the railroads and have
aided them to an extent which in many
cases has far transcribed the limits of
prudence and wise judgment. If they
ever prove so short sighted as to excite a
revolt among the people. they will real
ize, when it is too late, the consequences
of their mistake.

We have seen it stated in number of
our western exchanges that the south
viii favor western city for the location
of the worlds fair. for the reason that
there is greater community of interests
between the south and west than be-
tween the south and east. Our notion is
that as between Chicago and ST. Louis
the south would largely favor the latter.
for obvious reasons: but as between the
east and west for the location of the
great show, the south will support the
claims of the east. The principal mar
ket for the products of the south is in
the east, while they look TO that quarter
almost wholly for the supply of money
needed for whatever purposes. In view
IF these facts it may be set down for
true that the south will favor New York
or Washington over either of the con-
testing western cities. If it shall be de-
veloped that the west is to have the fair,
st. Louis will receive the preponderence
OF the south's support.

THE THIRD DISTRICT COMMISSION.
ERSHIP


There is one man in the Third COM
missioner district who boasts that he is
going to elect his county commissioner
in spite of the Republican party or of
anybody. If this mans candidates
name appeared on the tax rolls OF the
county, for even ever such a small
amount, the threat might be swallowed
little more graciously by the people of
that district. We don't believe, how
ever. that the Third district is being run.
of late years, by one man, to any alarm
ing extent. At best such boast is an
insult to every Republican and to every
independent. free and self-respecting
man i'll that district. The time ought to
be past when any man should be priv.
legged to so around boasting that he car
ries his district in his pocket, and if the
people of the Third district don't teach
such bumptiousness lesson we miss our
guess. that's all,

a High Compliment.

The state of Kansas today is probably
attracting more attention than any other
state west of the Mississippi, on account
of the abundance and quality of farm
products. Today Kansas can show 10
the eastern farmers wealth Of cereals
as has never been seen before. Here lies
an empire that produces more than all
the New England states put together.
More wealth than all the mines in the
world. The estimated product of the
mines being S1.5, 000, 900; Kansas farm
products will be more than $500, 900, 900.

as rapidly as is desirable now that debt
payment can not be accomplished with
out giving large premium on the bonds
bought TO make this payment. Some

A CHEERING OUTLOOK.

The aggregate value of the farm
products of Kansas this year is estimated
at not less than 100000. 600; the aggre-
gate mortgage indebtedness of the farm
ers of the state as ascertained upon care
ful investigation by the state secretary
of agriculture, Hon. Martin Mohler, is
set down at $79,000,00 SO it is seen by
these statements, and it is believed they
are substantially correct, only a little
more than one-third of the proceeds of
the years operations are needed to wipe
out the entire mortgage Indebtedness of
the farmers of the state if it was all due
and full payment demanded. Whatever
apprehension may have been felt at any
time on account of the alleged condition
of the farming community touching
these matters, there is certainly nothing,
now that the facts are known, to cause
the slightest uneasiness, but on the con-
trary everything to encourage.
Taken all together the condition and
prospects of the state and particularly
the farming interests We're never more
satisfactory and encouraging thar at the
present moment. True. prices of farm
products and live stock are low, but the
immense supply and splendid condition
of everything compensates in large
measure for this, while the general tone
of the market is strong and healthy and
the tendency of prices upward. Add to
all this the assurance of an ample supply
of ready money for all commercial and
industrial purposes, and there is no
reason why the country should not enjoy
a season of prosperity in all lines of
business
