THE Democratic State convention
will be held at Wichita on September
9th.
The Minnesota farmers alliance is
causing much political anxiety just
now. They are considering the advis-
ability of putting an alliance ticket in
the field.

w. E. BOLTON, of the Greensburg
Signal, is at ''ants'' with the sheriff
of KiOwa county, and is giving him
some straight hard knocks through
the columns of the Signal.

WIN. BAKER, of Lincoln county, has
been nominated by the farmers alli-
ance, for Congressman from the Sixth
Kansas Congressional district, to run
against Noble McNall the Republican
nominee.
KANSAS has been boasting for long
time now about being out of the cy-
clone district, but the boys have
not said so much about the matter
since the Farmers alliance struck its
gait.-Kansas City Star.

THE Cherokee commissioners have
completed negotiations with the Sac
and Fox Indians for the cessiOn of all
lands belonging to them, and many
eager whites are now making pros
pective tours of the country.

ACCORDING to the statistical re-
turns of June, to the department of
agriculture, the area of the Kansas
wheat crop as compared with last year
is 100 per cent, with conditions as
good as last year at this time.

SENATOR PLUMB did not want to
fritter away that SO, 900 majority, but
he saw that this was inevitable unless
the party ceased to bow down to the
fetch of protection. A man who can
promptly read the sign of the times is
wise man in his day and generation.

syndicated breWeries are boycotted.

TEN of the most influential and
widest circulating, straight cut repub
lican newspapers in the United States,
representing seven republican states,
are bitter in their hostility to the Nc
Kinley bill. The independent press,
with no prominent exception, is preach
ing tariff reform. Educational inf
ences move peoples slowly, but they
move them surely.

THERE is no probability that the
Senate bills for the admission of Idaho
and Wyoming will be considered this
session. The silver and tariff bills,
and National election bill will have to
be disposed of before any attention is
given to statehood bills, but it is
possible that political considerations
may induce the Republicans to admit
the new states next session.
A CENSUS enumerator at Emporium,
n. Y, who ventured to be facetious
at the expense of his wife, in filling
out the blank for his own family has
been living ever since at the village
tavern. A man who wilfully disturbs
the relations between himself and the
woman who does his cooking manifests
| an exceedingly obscure idea of diplO-
macy.
MANY of the extreme silver men are
still confident that they will be able to
pass bill embodying their views, in
cluding free coinage in the senate, but
are doubtful of its passage in the
House. They say that republicans in
both branches of Congress are more
Concerned about retaining pleasant
relations with the administration and
distribution of patronage, than settling
a great economic question.
ANYONE knowing Col. Lewis as well
as the most of the readers of the
Mercluy know him, smile when they
read that s'clean and fearless" sheet.
If the MercsTy's barrel of white wash
holds out Col. Lewis will be as white
as snow before the Congressional con-
vention comes off. Fortunately the
people of Edwards county are pretty
well acquainted with the Colonel, and
they know also that he is not as ''pure
and white" as our ''clean and fearless
Republican" contemporary would have
them believe he was.
FARMERS ARE AWAKE.
A great many of the farmers are as
