CONCENTRATION OF EFFORT.

The mere belief that the money
volume will be increased has started into
now life many industries, and largely in
creased the prices of farm products. If
a mere belief that it will be, caused in
creased activity, what will be the result
when the money actually begins to pour
through the arteries of trade and indus
try? Have we not already before us the
proof that stagnation in the circulating
medium is what ais the country? At
least this is the main cause, and our peo-
pie should do as the labor unions have
done. They believe that an eight hour
work day is the most important question
tOthem and they have concentrated their
entire force on that one issue. And they
are wise in SO doing. Let the country
concentrate its influence to an in
crease Of the currency, issued entirely
by the government, aud success and
prosperity are sure to come. The cur
rency battle won, half the war for the
emancipation of the people viii be over.
Let us march into Wall Street with all
our forces for therein is the capital Of
the enemy to progress and prosperity.

Whether the contemplated action of
the New York legislature TO abolish cap
ital punishment in that state had any
influence in procuring reprieve for
Kemmler, who was TO have been exc
cuted Tuesday last. Is not known, but
the promptness with which legislative
action followed the reprieve gives color
10 the suspicion. While capital punish
ment has its horrors, it is very grave
question whether or not the safety of
society warrants its adjustment. There
is nothing in all the catalogue Of possible
penalties known TO mankind which Is SO
feared by desperadoes as the death pen
atty. Nothing has such a powerful in
flueuce in restraining the dark purpose
and 1he crimson hand of the murderer as
the view of the death penalty. If it Is a
revolving thing TO execute a criminal.
and if capital punishment has its horrors.
it Is a far more revolving thing, and at
tended 10y far greater horrors. to have
the assassin's dagger and murderer's bull
let piercing the hearts Of their victims.

The contest in Alabama for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor seems to
be narrowing down to fight between
the Montgomery Advertiser and candi-
date Kolb. In Texas they have pretty
much the same sort Of contest, the only
difference being, that Hogg, the leading
candidate, has large portion of the
press of the state astraddle of him. The
situation IN Pennsylvania differs in this,
that the New York Sun has assumed the
championship of Pattison as against Wal
lace. This would make the chances
largely in favor of Wallace, only a strong
effort is being made to have the Farmers
Alliance of the state endorse Pattison.
And so it goes in the political camp of
our friends, the enemy.

THE NUMBER OF STRIKERS.

A compilation of the number of
strikers in the United States and Europe
shows that 500, $50 men of various trades
and occupations have been, since May /,
or are now on a strike. Some of the
strikes have been for reduction Of hours
to eight as full days labor, some have
been for an increase of wages, and some
for both.
In twenty-four cities of the United
States 12440 carpenters have struck. Of
this number 7.125 demanded more pay.
while 10,S00 demanded a reduction of
hours. In eight cities of the United
States and Europe 1900 mill hands and
others struck, 10000 asking for increased
wages, 70, 800 asking for reduction Of
hours. In twelve cities of the United
States and Europe $3.50 iron workers
went out, $3.50 of them for more wages
and $500 for shorter hours. In many
instances the demands of the men have
been granted. The brewery employees Of
Toledo have secured a reduction of hours
of labor, which have hitherto been fifteen
to sixteen, to ten. The painters, plumb
ers and brick layers in different parts of
the country have secured an increase of
wages and a reduction Of time.

The sugar company at Medicine Lodge

time to secure a supply of seed for next

mate that ten acres of beets will produce
all the seed that will be needed in that
vicinity for planting another, thus saw
ing the expense, which is considerable,
Of importing the seed that will probably
be required. And besides this advantage
it is easonably calculated that home grown
seeds will do better than those produced
in another country under different cOndi-
tons as to soil, climate, etc. AS between
the cane crop and beets the sugar COM
pany calculate that the manufacturing
season will cover nearly six months.

1t is stated that the Democratic sena-
tors have agreed upon a scheme by
which they hope to defeat whatever
measures may be introduced by Repub-
Hcan members. The scheme is to talk
them to death. A sort of dog-in-the-
manger arrangement. But it won't
work. The Republican majority in both
houses have adopted a business policy
for the government of legislation by the
present congress and they will have no
difficulty in finding ways and means to

The Ohio legislature which has Just
adjourned win be remembered as the one
that sold a senatorship for the highest
price that was ever paid in the state.
But the recent instance is not an ex-
ceptional one in that line Only six
years before a legislature of that
state did the same thing, to the chagrin
of the good people of that common
wealth and the digust of honest people
everywhere. There IS a little, just a very
little consolation to Republicans in the
fact that in both those legislatures the
Democrats had a majority, and conse-
qUently controlled.

It is stated as a fact that there were
not in Massachusetts enough applicants
for enumerators under the census. This
not only couoborates the story Of Mass

position, besides showing the condition
of cowardice the men Of that state have
been brought to.

The Barber County Index thinks the
estimates of the state bureau of agri-
culture Of the cost of producing wheat,
corn and cattle in Kansas are too high,
at least for Barber county. The esti-
mates, for wheat and corn. are based on
an average yield for the state of fifteen
and thirty bushels per acre respectively.
As the EAGLE stated several davs ago in
speaking of the estimates the average Is
too low by half for many of the counties
of southern Kansas. which being true
the cost of production is reduced pro-
portionaIly. The secretary of the board
made his estimates from statements fur
nished by correspondents in every coun-
tip, and while probably approximately
correct rs a whole is vet misleading as
20 many counties. Nevertheless the
average production is rs large and the
cost as small as in any one of the great
grain and live stock states. and long
way ahead of most of the states.

It is an old principle in social econom-
les that half loaf is better than no
bread, but the friends of silver in con-
gress don't seem to think it good as APP
piled to legislation on the subject of sill
Yer coinage and the purchase of silver
bullion. In other words they don't pro-
pose to have the peoples money made an
article of common merchandise. The
country needs more money in actual cir
culation, but it don't need it bad enough
TO force the people to consent to the de-
basement of the basis of the bulk of the
money to a mere commodity of traffic
and Its value subjected to the caprices of
spectators; not if they can prevent it by
earnestly and solemnly protesting
against it. The silver men in congress
are right in the determined stand they
have taken.
