Close observers say that the European
financial situation is very much strained.
There is big demand for gold, which is

COMMENTS ON ouR CANDIDATE.
Hallowen for Congress.
rom .ha Tsonal-a CaDifal


In nominating Colonel Hallowell fol-
| congress the Republicans of the Seventh
district have selected young, brilliant
and capable man. Colonel Hallowel
has the brains and the disposition fol
public life. He possesses the element:
to acquire power with his associates in
congress and to enthuse his constituent:
at home. He is man of fine physique
and attractive presence. He is mag
n etc, elouent, ambitious and a good
lawyer.
Colonel Hallowelrs Republicanism is
genuine and of long standing. He is
familiar with the splendid history of the
party and believes in its principles. He
was gallant soldier and earned his
agis of colonel while marching with
Sherman to the sea. He came to Kan
sas II years ago and has lived in the
state continually ever since. occupy
ing several official positions of impor-
lance with credit. He was once elected
cOngressman-at-large but never took his
seat. being ruled out by a Democratic
majority. He is thoroughly a Kansas
Republican, believing in the state, &C
quainted with its history, its people and
its resources. able to defend It against
the insults or falsehoods of men in con-
gress who are always ready to repeat the
ISLANDERS uttered against state which
has defeated the rum power. He be-
lieves firmly in the principle of prohibit
ton as the state policy and his nominal
ton will tend to break the force Of re-
submission in Sedgwick county and
unite the party for a great prohibition
campaign that will settle the attitude of
Kansas for all time TO come.
With such a candidate on an uncom-
monty strong platform the Republicans
of the Seventh district should make a
rousing campaign and carry their dis
trict by a good, round majority. The
was secured without bitter
ness and by the plain will of the con-
vention. There is no opportunity, there
fore. for kickers.
The nomination of Colonel Hollowell
disposes finally of the suspicious of
some that the withdrawal of Congress
man Peters was not genuine. Judge
Peters has made an honorable record in
and while the district is I'M
fortunate to lose him it is to be con-
graduated on the prospect of securing SO
worth successor.

to promulgate that great deal of per-

probably meet with vigorous protest
from Senator Bentley, of Sedgwick
county.
Puck, the comic paper, is fighting Sena-
tor Ingalls, red hot. This is the biggest

of what national concern the Democrats
are making Senator ingalls, reelection.
1t now seems to be without the shadow
of a doubt that Tom Moonlight will
probably be a candidate for congress in

affairs is improved upon good deal, Mr.
Moonlight's candidacy will undoubtedly

Father Eskridge shows no signs of lay

The longer it continues so, the more clear

of the Republican and the

name.

Only thirty years ago feudalism of the
worst kind prevailed in Japan. At that
time a reform established the rule of the
Mikado and overturned the feudal re-
gime. Now, by the elections of the pres
ent month, a new government, in the
form of a constitutional monarchy, has
been set up. Thus rapidly has the power
of the people asserted Itself in that ORR
entail land. Republicanism is spreading
throughout the world. The day of kings
and queens, princes and lords, is fast
passing away.

Raising Their Linen.

From the Kansas City star.
There may not be so much corn and
wheat in Kansas and Missouri this year
as last. but the raw material for linen
fabrics Is much greater. 1t is estimated
that the flax crop of the two states this
wear will exceep the Weld of last wear BY
at least p per cent. 1t is also said that

THE EFFECTS ALREADY FELT.

All Washington dealers in silverware
have been notified by the manufacturers
that prices have been increased - per
cent owing to the rise of silver bullion
occasioned by the adoption of the silver
coinage bill. Further notice has been
given by the manufacturers that a still
greater increase in prices is anticipated
and they have been advised to give or
ders for future delivery. 1t is stated at
the treasury department that the price Of
silver bullion is expected to go to S1.15
per ounce within few weeks. Parity
for silver bullion is about S129, and it
was stated during the discussion Of the
silver bill that if there should be absolute
free coinage bullion would reach parity
within ninety days after the measure
became a law. At any rate purchasers
of silverware are all paying Is per cent
more than they were paying thirty days
since, and further increase of at least
per cent is expected within the present
month.

nomination referred to. Whether it will
serve him further remains to be seen.

The simple circumstance that the
sentiments of the Chilians in regard to
reciprocity with the United States reach
us by way of England invests the matter
with considerable doubt. OF course it
is to the interest of England that there

country will not hesitate to do any and
everything to prevent such a consuma-
ton. But this Is a business matter and
not one of sentiment, and if we can

That is pretty tough on the reading

quality, measured by the popular esti-
