BLAINE OR PLUMB OR BOTH.

The following letter, from a promi-

not known in political circles, had "per-
sonal and private" written on its face,

name of the writer:
WICHITA, KAN, Oct. 8, 1890.
Hon. NJ. NJ Murdock:
DEAR SIR-Permit me to commend,
without reservation, your article this
morning, demanding more money The
poor man can never be content while it
takes Sl25 or $3.50 to pay his debt on a
loan of 500. If he sees relief, or now
thinks he does, in another place, he'll
break through party lines though cor
rallied by barbed wire fence ten strands
high. Money is king.
In my humble opinion you have been
right all the time on the tariff. When
Plumb made his first break, wrote him
saying: "You have taken great risk
as to your party, but, in my humble
judgment you are all right, and the right
must win" Last Tuesday told the
story.
l want to see Plumb on the ticket in
'92; second if Blaine can be first; but, if
not, then Plumb first, and some other
fellow second. Let Kansas boom
Plumb.
No other man keeps his ear closer to
the ground to catch the tread of the mil
lions-the people. Coming events cast
their shadows before and happy he
who can see the shadow and forecast the
inevitable in the mar h of events.

OUT UPON IT.

The contemplate means of any re-
spectacle paper pandering to the igno-
rant rot that the Alliance candidates for
state offices are being counted out, passes
all understanding. BY whom or how is
not explained. Any man with sense
enough to go to the polls and deposit his
ballot ought to know that such a thing
would be impossible in Kansas. There
was no chance for such a thing at the
polls by the judges and clerks; no chance
for such a thing by the state board of
canvassers. The central committees
have nothing TO do with the matter.
They never see the ballots nor the re-
turns until they are officially announced.
1t is shame and an outrage for any re-
spectacle paper to bolster up the idea Of
such an impossibility. If Mr.. Willis
had been elected by but one single ma
jority three numbered thousand voters in
Kansas would demand that he be sworn
in, and he would be.

SmokelesS powder has one serious
drawback. In the clear atmosphere in
the battlefield all bright accoutrements
are seen at great distance, and thus be-
tray the positions of the various bodies of
troops. In order to meet this objection
the French minister of war has decided
to submit a proposal to have the helmets
of the dragons, and the scabbards of the
officers and soldiers bronzed for the pur-
pose of dulling their brightness. France
might help things good deal if she
would put her regiments in gray clothes.
1t is the very best color for the battle
field as we learned in our last war.

THE RESULT IN WISCONSIN.

The most sweeping reverse the Repub-
licans met with last week occurred in
Wisconsin. The issue in that state was
local and pertained to the operation of
what is known there as the Bennett law
That law provides that all children of
school age in the st te must attend a
public school, where the English Ian
guage exclusively is taught, for three
months each year. There is large for
eign element in the state, very many of
whom object to this compulsory feature
of the school law. and the Catholic and
Lutheran churches also opposed it on the
same ground and for the further reason
that they oppose the policy of the state
controlling the education of the children,
taking the ground that this important
duty should be performed by the parent
and the church. These opposing elements
united with the Democrats who were too
glad of their assistance, and the result
was the almost clean sweep of the state.
the Republicans saving but one congress-
man out of wreck of the party's hitherto
magnificent proportions.
The defeat in that state is only temper
airy, however. The Republicans had the
right on their side in the issues Joined,
and that must and will prevail, ulti-
mately. The Bennett law will probably
be repealed or materially modified by the
next Legislature, composed as it is largely
of opponents to that measure, but it is
not dead issue by any means and will
prevail at no distant day in the future.

It Is now officially stated here that

1t is now officially stated here that it

should be called this month.

Mr.. Dunnell will have TO revise his
congressional apportionment bill. 1t was
based on a population of $4,000, 600.
Whatever is done it is certain to result
in big row in congress. The Repub-
licans will, of course, want to fix it so as
to gain all of the advantage possible in
the Fifty-third congress and in the cleo
toral college. and some of them want the
bill to provide for specia. election to
elect the additional representatives it
will give, in time to take their seats in
the Fifty-second congress. 1t is not very
probable, though of course possible that
the bill will go quite as far as that.

Connecticut is the only state that
maintains such ultra democratic views
in its laws as 10 require an absolute ma
jority of all the votes cast to elect a gov
ernor. The anomaly that this presents is
in the fact that while the law prevents a
plurality candidate from receiving the
office, the legislature proceeds under the
law in such case 70 choose and install a
minority candidate. il not one that was
in the contest Of the election. This
is illustrated by the recent election and
present situation. Norris received about
1000 more votes than his principal COM
petitor for the governorship, twenty
three less than a ma ority Of all. The
legislature, therefore, will elect the gov
ernor, and the Republicans having a ma
jority Of that body will most likely
choose Merwin. the party's candidate
before the people.

As to Kansas, whatever the result, the
lesson enforces itself. There must be
less hypocrisy and more honor among
public officials. The past state admin

the state. 1t has tempered with offend
ers against the law, maintained the most
lawless disregard of the prohibitory
statutes, put a premium upon offences
against it, and disheartened the friends
of temperance and good order. 1t has
been administered by weaklings, coun-
selled by marplots, and the verdict,
whatever its details, is a decisive and
