Philadelphia Press: The activity the
Republicans are showing in the south is
encouraging. In North Carolina, Flor
ida, Georgia and elsewhere they are
manifesting as much, and in some in
stances more, interest than the Demo
Gratis. Some of this activity is doubtless
due to the disorganized condition of the
Democratic party in the south, but it
can be explained more on the ground of
the new energy infused into the Repub-
lcan organization by the increased in
dustrial prosperity in the southern
states" This sounds encouraging and
would be, in fact, but for later news that
fatty contradicts it; we mean the cleo
ton returns from states and localities in
that quarter that show decided Demo-
cratic gains. Don't gamble on the south
going Republican.

General Greeley has agreed to investi-
gate the hot winds, ascertain their origin
and, if possible, devise some means by
which they may be allayed, or their
blighting effects Modified. He has put
off the, investigation too long for 1t TO
amount to anything this year, but it is
hoped he may succeed next year. BY
the way, wonder what the matter was
that Secretary Rusk never tried his ex-
pertinent of exploding dynamite in the

have better opportunity to test its eff
fectiveness than this season has been.

THE JEWS AND THE GEAR.

1t looks as if the car would have to
back down from his scheme of hatred
and persecution of the Jews of Russia
The incentive to the outrage seems TO
have come of the success of Dieraloi over
Russia at the Berlin congress of 1877.
But it turns out that the Jewish bankers
of Russia have notified the Muscovite
autocrat that Russia will be left in the
suds in case of war should the edict not
be withdrawn; and it is undeniably true
that the Jewish bankers control the
money market of Russia. The edict was
an outrage on humanity and disgrace
to the enlightenment of the century, and
further, it was shame that the civilized
powers failed to rebuke the car. The
edict effects five millions of human be-
ings, beings of purer race and of older
lineage than the house Of Peter the
Great or the bold-faced strumpet that
ruled after him. The world should re-
member Siberia and purge st. Petersburg
of its rotten and awful rule.

A GREAT CONVENTION DAY.

Next Tuesday viii be the greatest
state convention day, from numerical
standpoint, ever witnessed in Kansas.
Two state conventions of five hundred
delegates each, will assemble in Wichita
the one Democratic, the other Repub-

lar Republican convention at Topeka
this week TO have removed the necessity
of the Resubmission Republican conven-
ton, and to have done so without the
sacrifice of any principle, but it refused
to do so.

SOME RIDICULOUS STATISTICS.
From the Kansas City Gazette.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
The State board of health. of Kansas.
has published its Fifth Annual Report in
volume OF 362 pages. printed and pub
llshed at the expense of the state. As a
society woman looks for her name in the
society columns of a newspaper, so we
look for Wyandotte county in this large
volume, and we test the books usefulness
by comparison with the home facts that
have come under our personal observa-
ton. Wyandotte county Is mentioned
once in the whole publication. in connec-
ton with two births that are reported BY
some rare hazard. as all of Wvandotte
county's activity in this line during 1888
and 1889. Ii the Wyandotte county ba-
bies born during that period would sim
ultaneOusly expand their lungs and vo-
ciferate IN derisive protest against such
nonsense. the chances are that the State
board of health would hear the noise
at Topeka, and would begin 10 I'M
derStand that the statistics are as
worthless as they are ridiculous. In the
index To this compilation, Nv" has
arraigned under it Wabaunsee. Wash
ington, Wallace. Wichita, Wilson and
Woodson counties. but Wvandotte coun-
y i conspicuous only Dy lts absence
Kansas City, Kan, has no mention in
the book at ali. While the health Off
Gers and the physicians of Wyaudotte
county have, during ISIS and 1889 re-
ported in all two births. no deaths and
no marriages, Crawford county has in
the same period 94s births. jl7 deaths
and 80 marriages. and Shawnee county
sl4 births, S05 deaths and no marriages.
The whole trouble Is. Of course. that il Is
left entirely 10 the discretion Of health
officers and physicians whether they will
report or not. As long as this is the
case the state board Of health might
suspend its labor and save the state not
only useless expense. but also the ridi-
cule OF publishing nonsense.

SEDGWICK WILL SUPPORT THE
TICKET.

From the Topeka Capital
The committee on resolutions in the
Republican state convention were in ses-
sion from to - o'clock on the evening
of the I'd. While the session was orderly
and all in good feeling, the discussion of
the prohibition question was determined
and earnest. A resolution favoring re-
submission was introduced by Senator
Bentley, of Sedgwick county, and the
same was earnestly supported by him,
assisted by Hon. Phil Bond, of Saline
county, and others. The matter, how
ever, was voted down after a vigorous
protest from these gentlemen. The
large and manly delegation from Sedg-
wick county made every effort in their
power to carry out the instructions of
their convention to pledge the conven-
ton to resubmission, but were out-voted
on every point. Notwithstanding the
friction on this point, they asserted that
Sedgwick county will roll up the old
time majority for Colonel Hallowell and
the entire state ticket. There will be no
kicking against the pricks or sorehead-
