will be impossible to match Gibbons against

THERE are some thousands of coal

country at large. These same miners
were among the visiting delegations to
General Harrison last fall bearing ban

general congratulated them on the fact
that they were getting good wages, and
told them that it was due to the pro-

Senator Plumb is on his way to Kan
sas, and the Office seekers are getting
themselves in shape for grand attack
all along the line. If he can satisfy
one tenth of them he will have done
wonders. Let them not forget that
Kansas is not in high favor with the
president, and that but very few points
will be strained in favor of the painting
patriots from the Sun Flower state.
1t is little unfortunate that il should
be SO, but a knowledge of the fact
may save a number from the
pangs of too keen disappointment.
Of course the senator will see and hear
as many while here as can gain access
to him, and will do all he can for them.
That is his reputation. But let us be
moderate. He that expecteth not a
hemisphere, will not be greatly dlsap-
pointed if he has to put up with a frog
pond in Mud alley, and live on corn

indefinite authority that 1.-THE Dutch
bondholders of the Missouri, Kansas
s. Texas railway had successfully nego-

the statement although he refused to
dinulge the price agreed upon or any
of the other details of the purchase.

tends from Parsons, Kan, to Raola,

being to build the road into Kansas

it now holds the right Of way.

WHAT is the meaning of that mem
orial presented the other day to the
New England senators and congress
men asking for tariff revision in be-
half ''of the few remaining iron es-
Establishments in Massachusetts?' The
memorial states that in the past ten
years the number of iron and steel
mills in New England has been reduced
40 percent. That is something won
derful, as we'll as new under the sun.
The idea of New England iron manu-
facturers asking for a reduction of the
tariff in their interest is enough to take
the breath of a westerner. 1t is an
anomaly that he will not be able to I'M
derstand, and will cause him to regard
the down east Yankee as a strange
and incOmprehensible character. But
he is not. He is only man of plain,
business sense. He sees that iron and
steel can be manufactured cheaper in
the south than in the north. and that
by virtue of the tariff, the southerner
is enabled to drive the New Highlander
to the wall. Hence. his cry to be saved
from the tariff.

SECRETARY WANAMAKER is said to
be a religious man as well as man of
business methods, both of which he
has carried, we are told, into the post
Office: departments. In about four
months he has deeapitated over IL 900
democratic post masters, although his
chief, the president, avowed his deter
mination to observe the letter of the
civil service law in all the departments,
making changes in Office only where
good and sufficient cause existed.
Though a religious man, the post mas
ter general has trampled the law under
foot. As a business maR2he has done
no better. If he should maugurats
the same business principles in his
Philadelphia store, he would be a bank
rupt inside of year. So much for his
religion and his regard for business
methods.

not ventured word of editorial Opin-

looks little like base desertion on the
