KANSAS CORN CROP.

The fact must be admitted that the
corn crop will be very light this year
in Kansas. In this (PhiIIips) county
if 1t rains soon there will be some
strips of country that got showers in
which there will be a little corn, but
the truth must be admitted that this
year but little corn will be raised in
this state. Fortunately there is d
vast amount Of last years crop on
hand. The following reports taken
from the Topeka Capital from diff
erent sections of the state show the
prospects:
MNNEAPoLIs, July 21.-No rains;
very hot winds Sunday; cloudy this
morning. Under no circumstances
can we have over a third of a crop of
corn.
BELoIT, July 21.-Hot winds yes
terday finished the corn. A NOah's
food would not make fourth of
crop.
INDEPENDENCE, July 2L-Corn crop
needs rain now, and will make one
half a crop If weather is reasonably
wet for the next month. No crop as
sured yet.
WINFIELD, July 21.-Last week
closed with the hottest day of the
season. Prospects for continued
/ drOuth never better. Damage to the
corn crop beyond estimate.
Fort ScoTT, July 21.-Lt will take
most favorable conditions to make
half a crop of corn IN Bourbon coun-
ty. Local rains have only reduced
temperature.
SALINA, July 21.-Hot winds blew
yesterday. It was the hottest day of
the season. No rain in the last four
weeks, with the exceptions of two
townships in this county. Could not
possibly get one-fourtb of a crop of
corn with rain for three weeks. But
this is the banner county in the Unit
ed States for wheat

The Philipsburg Dispatch needs a
little ''elixer fife, evidently, to give
it stamina. If McNay does not come
out and back the party he may as
well flop at once into the democratic
ranks. If he is waiting on the ALI
ance cat to jump he may as we'll IN
derstaDd now that the Alliance will
have more respect for the man who
has convictions, and dares to express
them, than it will for a man who waists
for a sure thing" Copying other
papers opinions does not imply the
policy of the paper which reprints
the items. Where are you, MIR. Dis
patch ?-LOng Island Inter Ocean.
Well! we'll! Now the situation is
becoming interesting! There seems
to be little ripple of 'onpleasant-
ness between the two bosses, Mont
nay and 1IcGomery. One accuses the
other of lacking little of the ''elixer
of life" etc. The Inter Ocean man en-
quires, where are you Mr.. Dispatch p
and he proposes to uncover the old
veteran. Now stand back and let the
two party bosses settle matters, and
decide whether MOntnay is to be chief
boss and 11cGOmery second or vice
! versa.

The people who petition congress
for an acknowledgement of the Chris
tian religion IN the Constitution Of
the United States mean well enough,
but they will probably be disappoint-
ed. The notion that the cause of
Christianity will be advanced by such
acknowledgment is a fallacy. It
would not make a single convert, nor
would it make one man a better
Christian. Under this same Constr
tuition we have become a Christian
nation, second to none in the world.
and no change is needed. That it is
well to keep church and State apart
has been shown by the wonderful
growth of nearly all Christian sects
in this country. Better let the Con
stitutiOn alone. Champion

WEBB MCNALL certainly should be
the last man to be opposed by the
farmers. He has resided for the last
nineteen years upon a homestead
His associations ever Since he came
to Kansas have been such as make
his sympathies with the farmers and
to their interest. When in the Iegis-
lature his works were invariably on
the side Of promoting and protecting
the important agricultural interests
of this state. He championed a bill
for one years redemption of land
sold under mortgages, opposed joint
corporations and avariciOus monopo-
lies. We challenge the world to
show single instance where our
nominee is shown by his record to be
anything other thar of the people
and for the people, heart and soul

 yike,s Tariff Resolution.

WASHINGTON, D. C., December l.-Repre- sentative Wike of Illinois, to day intro. dueed in the House preamble and resolu' tion on the subject of the tariff. Tho preamble recites that it is manifest tho people of this country have at the recent election most emphatically repudiated the policy and principles of the taxatiops and protection embraced in the Mckinley law, and have by the overwhelming majority nt such election unmistakably demanded lower taxes and cheaper necessities of life. The resolution therefore instructs the Committee on Ways and Means to report bills 10 repeal any and all increases In the rates of tariff duties accustomed by that enactment, and to place upon the free list wool, lumber, salt, coal, ores of all kinds, dye stuffs, tin plates, agricultural and manufacturing machinery, binding twine and the materials out of which it Is manu factured, bagging, cotton ties and such other articles of raw material as the coui- mittee may deem of importance to manu lecturers or 10 the people; such bills to provide carefully for carrying the reduc. ton occasioned by putting such articles upon the free list into and through the various manufactures into which such materials may enter, to the end that the ultimate consumer. aud not the manufact. urers alone, may get the benefit of such reductions.
 The resolutions further instruct the com mittce to report bill 10 provide for rais iug all additional revenue that may be necessary for the requirements of the Treasury by il graduated tax upon tho in comes Of all persons, corporations, trusts and associations in excess of $500

Gen. Brooke telegraphed that this infor- nation is not from his own scouts. He expects, however, to have fuller informa ton soon. These alarming reports have again been the subject of conversation be tween Secretary Proctor and Gems. Sho- ted and Miles. The latter has asked Gen Schofeld that additional troops be placed at his command IL IS understood that his request was for mounted iufa ntry.
