THE BALANCE OF POWER IN CLOSE
ELECTIONS.

From the North American Review.
There is a great body of conservative
voters in this country about equally di-
vided between the two political parties,
but not blind followers of either, and it
is they who actually hold the balance of
power and decide the close contests.
While neither party can afford 20 aban-
don its principles for the purpose of Sc
curing this vote yet neither can afford to
drive it away by the advocacy of harsh
or extreme measures. But the loss of
this vote alone by the Republican party
at the recent election will not account
for the overwhelming defeat it has suf-
ferred. 1t is evident that thousands Of
others who have heretofore consistently
voted with that party have either deter
mined TO do so no more, or to enter at
least one effective protest against the
abuse of the power intrusted to it, and
await future developments before decid-
ing finally upon their permanent politi-
cal connections.

BUT MRS. LEASE WOULDN'T GO.

We will never get over wondering why
Mrs. Lease didn't go to Ocala. 1t was
the opportunity of her life. She would
have arisen in week to the dignity of a
national factotum and produced more
profound sensation than all of the wo-
men who have essayed the rostrum and
the stump in the life of Susan Anthony.
The pathos. glow and JUNCTION which her
presence would have impaired; the
larger ardor which her tongue would
have stirred up, would not only have
proved great card for Wichita, but the
Alliance would have been forced to re-
alize, and at practical hands. the differ
ence between cottonseed oil and pure
hogs lard, while the inexcusable blum
der and humiliating spectacle of lot of
northern farmers going all the way
down to Florida to sacrifice our great
emblematic bird, the American hog, to
the greed of the cotton planter would
have been saved the American people.
Mrs. Lease is, in short. not the man we
took her to be.

They enjoyedC0 quite a sensation in
Centralia, this state, last week. The
cause of il was this: Miss Cora Timber
lake, bright young woman, teacher in
the city schools, trashed a bad boy. The
mother of the boy visited the school
room and proceeded to slap the young
lady in the face. The case got into the
justice courts drew an immense con-
course of spectators, and the scene was
full of interest. Several lawyers ap-
peared, and, after two days, the mother
was found guilty and fned$l. 1t is one Of
natures strangest freaks that the average
mother is totally blind to her childrens,
particularly her boys, badness, but it is
so, and in some instances it seems that
the worse the child is the binder the

Judge Anderson, of the United States
district court for Utah, has decided that
alien Mormons may not become citizens.
After setting out the action of the Nor
mon church in regard to the anti-poly-
gamy laws of the United States, wherein
It's announced acquiescence has been in
sincere and meaningless, the judge con-
cludes his ruling in these words: "The
position of the church in those matters
Is unchanged. An alien who comes to
this country and joins such an organiza-
ton should never ask to become a
citizen"

THAT PREDICTION.
From the Kingfisher Journal.

VII 0IfV "V0IILItIIs
The Wichita EAGLE makes a predic-
ton that the Republicans in congress
must before March 4th, pass free coin
age bill and modify the Mckinley bill, or
the party will not carry more than five
states in 1892, and not one of the west
ern states. And the EAGLE is about
right, too. We believe in more money,
a per capita of $50 or $50, will not be too
much. With more money, prices of farm
products will be advanced, and plenty
and prosperity will settle over the west
as well as the east.

EiSOME FACTS CONCERNING THE
PRESS.
From the Boston Traveller.

From the Boston Traveller.
According to the latest issue of the
Newspaper Directory" there were no
less than 3,4S1, $40, 900 copies of maya
zines, papers and periodicals issued in
this country, or a number more than
sufficient to afford every man, woman
and child in the United States one paper
a week for yoar. The weekly paper
has the largest general circulation. owing
TO the fact that most of the country pa
pers are issued in this class, and to the
fact that not less than three-fourths of
all the periodicals published in the Uni
ted States are issued once a week. The
monthly Gomez second, with ~ per cent
of the gross publications. and the dailies
have 8 per cent, thus leaving only per
cent for the semi-monthlies, semi-week-
lies, quarterlies, bi-weeklies, bi-month-
lies and tri-weeklies The total number
of periodicals and newspapers published
in single edition throughout the country
is 45, 524, 900. The average circulation
of each periodical is 2,33j. OF the total
issue, the weeklies have So per cent, the
monthhes % per cent, the dailies Is per
cent, thus leaving Z per cent for all the
other classes. The daily papers through
out the country issue 1858, $50 copies a
day. The greatest number of periodi-
Gals in any one class are those having
500 circulation. OF the total II, 760 peri
odicalS, II, 11e have less than l 900 circu-
lation. and only 775 have more than TO-
600. The latter fact is rather astonish-
ing at first. From this it appears that
1872 papers reBch one-quarter of the read
ing public, and 6i3 a second quarter,
thus leaving 1886 publications TO divide
up the other half of the reading public
among them. These are interesting
facts. and, as a reading people. it is evi-
dent that those of the United States
stand first among the nations Of the
world.
