GEORGIA'S SENATOR.

Governor Gordon has once before rep
resented Georgia in the senate, and if he
shall be again chosen TO fill that high
position, many people outside of and be-
yond the limits of the empire state of
the south would be pleased and gratified.
The National Economist, however. while
delivering a eulogy upon him, intimates
that if he secures the seat, it will be in
spite of and in opposition to the efforts
of the Alliance
If. then. the Alliance of Georgia pro-
pose To enter a candidate against the
most popular man in Georgia they had
better wake up, for the governor is out
and is making a stirring canvass. Such
a canvass is he making that il will take
the very strongest opponent tina can he
found to successfully contend with him,
and unless the man chosen is something
more than popular, he will be unable to
contend with the champion who has
taken the field.
There was some talk at one time of eX
Senator Norwood entering the arena as
the Alliance nominee, and such an Oppo-
sitiOn would probably have been the
most dangerous that Gordon could have
met, but since the Atlanta Constitution
interviewed ex-senator Norwood, moth
ing has transpired to warrant the belief
that the Alliance will support him for
the Office against Gordon, and, therefore,
there is still doubt as to whether Gordon
will have any opposition in his contest
for the seat of senator from Georgia.
The general opinion is that in spite of
the attitude of the organ of the Alliance,
Gordon will be the next senator from
Georgia. The matter vet, however, like
all things political, contains elements of
surprise which may later be manifested
We might add that the governors recent
proposition for the south to boycott the
north in the event the federal election
bill became a law does not seem to have
injured him in the least in the estimation
of the Georgians, either Democrats or
Alliance men, although they did not
deem it eXpedient to publicly endorse
the proposition.

THAT TIN TAX AGAIN.

The Wichita EAGLE says that the claim
| that the tariff on tin Will increase the
wages of tin miners is ''all bosh." The
EAGLE doesn't believe then that two jobs
are better than one for the laboring man.
The tariff would greatly increase the de-
mand for American tin. 1t would not only
increase the wages of these miners but it
would give employment to hundreds more.
If this is not true then the whole theory of
protection Is lse.-Leavenworth Times.
In this case the EAGLE certainly does
not believe that the 1.-TWO jobs are better
than one for the laboring man. No tar
iff rate that could be placed on tin would
have the effect of increasing the produc-
ton of tin in this country, for the simple
reason that the only tin known to exist
in the United States is in the Dakota
mine and thatjs controlled and is being
worked to the fullest capacity by the
English syndicate that first developed it,
and as heretofore stated, this has all been
done without any bonus in the shape of
tariff, and would be continued if no tariff
were imposed. In point of fact, it is
monopoly, and that fact affords it all the
protection" it needs. The claim that
the impos.tio of a tariff duty will
have the effect of giving more
men employment and an in
crease of wages, we again say
is all bosh, and the Times statement to
the contrary is a mere assertion without
any foundation of fact to base it upon.
The assertion Of the Times that If this is
not true, then the whole theory of pro-
lection is false" is another mere gratu-
ity. 1t may apply as a general rule, but
the case under consideration is an eXcep-
ton, for the reasons stated. The pro-
posed tariff will not induce the produc-
ton of a single additional pound of tin
and will not increase the wages of Amer
lean labor a single penny; but, as Mr..
Plumb declared in his unanswerable ar
gument against the tax, it will add so
much to the cost of that necessary arti-
Gle to the consumer which will insure
solely to the benefit of the operators of
the industry; facts that the Times cannot
refute or explain away.

Until quite recently the Arkansas City
Dispatch posed as Democratic organ. par
excellence, but the dual political event
that occurred in this city Tuesday forced
it to recover, and now it shows up after
this fashion:
The People may congratulate themselves
that they did not nominate Robinson for
governor. He now appears in the light of
a chronic Office seeker After he was hon
orably defeated in the Peoples convention,
he should have retired gracefully from the
field. Instead of doing this however, he
announces that he i not a candidate and
then ungracefully allows another conven-
ton TO nominate him. If he was an honest
advocate of the Peoples platform. he
would now support the men who have
been nominated on that platform. BY his
action i'm acc pting the nomination from
the observation-disclosures. he virtually
declares that he would as soon see Hum
phrey elected as Willis. But the people
are up in arms and will put forth a grand
effort TO defeat the whole outfit.

The Democrats and Republican Re
submi-siOniSts' manage to get into the
same bed at Wichita yesterday by agree
ing that one of the needs of the race is
liquor. The planks touching this subject
are substantially alike. The old platform,
however, hOunces upon the Republican
party, while the other renews its pledge
of unwavering loyalty to it. And yet
those so-called Republicans endorse the
Democratic nOminees-endOrse the men
who stand upon the condemning plat
form. The folks are almost as badly
mixed as Jones and Brown were when,
after a days carousal in the city, each
was enable to identify himself. Driving

AT first there was some surprise that
Senator Plumb did not vote with the
Democrats against the bill on its final
passage; but a moments reflection will
suggest a very plausible explanation:
Mr.. Plumb labored zealously to improve
the bill As 1t came from the house, and
though he failed in part. he succeeded
in part, and TO the extent of making the
measure an Improvement over the pres

At one time Wichita was the largest
inland grain market in the world. She
lost this prestige and the accruing bene-
fits by not preparing to accommodate it
with sufficient and necessary storage IA
cilities. Taking advantage of this mac
ton Kansas City went 10 work, and now
boasts of having facilities for handling
the entire grain crop of Kansas; in other
words, has amplified her toll facilities
and made ready TO accommodate the

According to Senator Plumb restoring
the tax on tobacco, which should be
done, would yield a revenue of about
ST. 600 OOO Through his efforts the gov

also be largely augmented. All these
revenues will be needed by the govern
ment and that was the proper way to
raise them.
