THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

The recent furry in Wall street seems
TO have been entiiely rich mans panic.
largely growing out of the condition of
the large { banking houses in London,
who claim that American securities had
nothing 10 do with the matter. Outside
of Wall street and the holders of large
railroad interests there has been but
little or no u" easineSs, and would have
been but little had not the bear element
seized upon it as an excuse 10 depress
prices upon all commodities, but this.
we think. viii be a matter Of short dura-
lion, as we predict that such items as
cotton, corn, wheat and live stock will
soon regain what they have lost bv arti-
tcial depression. But what we started
out 10 say Is that, Of late, investors have
had a craze for railroad stocks and other
securities that are most easily effected
by any stringency of the money market.
and 1t Is noticeably a fact that for
q tims that money seeks some particular
investment, until finally the bubble
bursts and some new outlet has 10 be
found for more, and we believe in This
Instance that the outcome viii he favor

west Real estate being the source of all
wealth, we believe the tired. haraSSed in

the surer and certainly ssfer investment
in real estate which will withstand the
manipulstions Of any clique or ring who
deliberately plan 10 wreck the holdings
of those who have honestly invested
their money in what 70 ali appearance is
a good investment We predict that the
outcome Of the present trouble viii mean
large influx OF capital TO the west, and
Wichita, Sedgwick county and South

suNFLowER SKINNER.

Senator Ingalls, will go to Washington
shortly.
The Topeka Journal is apparently Mrs.
Leases organ.
Everybody seems to be down on Sam
Wood, but the Associated Press.
The anti-Ingalls organs right now are
more anxious to know: "What is Ingalls,
doing!"
The Alliance made it a point to have
early conventions and decidedly fresh
election.
Judge Peters could not live in Washing
ton on 5000 year, but Judge Peters,
he wore socks.
Buffalo JONES' if the truth were
known, is probably dark hoIse in the
race for the senate.
The report that the Copeland hotel at
Topeka would change its name to Ham
and Eggs" has been denied.
JOIN J. Ingalls, is interested more in 90
than any one else That is the number of
Alliance men in the legislature.
Rightmire left $500 annual practice
to run for chief justice. His clients did
all they could to get him elected.
Jerry Simpson as speaker of the fifty
second congress would be good deal bet
ter at Read rule'' than spell rule.
Mrs. Lease will probably move to Pueblo.
Western tourists will agree that the big
gest stump in the country is at that town.
The Alliance makes the distinction Of
labor by only admitting the man who has
earned his corn dread by the sweat of his
brow"
The Kansas papers viii proceed to re-
publish Senator ingalls, article on BLUE
Grass" next spring, whether he is reflect
ed or not.
Every mail at Medicine Lodge contains
one pair of socks, as present for Jerry.
Most of the donors are expecting post
offices in return.
Old man Rice has promised not to con-
test Bill's seat if he will vote for him for
the senate and quit referring to him as
daddy long legs"
Judge Mckay will not go to Ann Arbor,
but he has given an order for new suit
of clothes for his honor. He remembered
that order was Heavens first law"
Jake Stotler claims to have thirteen
Republicans in the house pledged to him
for state printer. Mr.. Stotler might just
as well have said fourteen, but his foresight
chose the "unlucky number" to tall back
upon.
Jerry Simpson was recently shown a
well dressed man who at the time of
Jerry's nomination was also aspiring to
the same honor. "He may be good man."
Mr.. Simpson said, "but the cut of his
clothes would have beat him.
1t is understood that Col. Moonlight
charges his defeat to a secret circular is
sued against him on theeve of the election,
in which it was charged that he was I'M
friendly to the Catholic religion. 1t is
stated that Col. Moonlight married Cath
Ollie lady, and that he made the usual
promise to bring up the children by the
union in the Catholic church. When the
first child was born, Mrs. Moonlight want
ed to send for priest TO baptize it, but
Col. Moonlight objected. This is the story
told in the recent circular.

THE VOTE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

In reply to an inquiry with regard to
the votes cast in South Carolina at the
last election, the Charleston World VS.:
AS far as we have been able to esti-
mate. the total vote cast in the recent
election in South Carolina was about
10000, all told, of which about 10000
were cast by white men and 10000 by
colored voters.
The total male population of voting
age in South Carolina is about 100, 600
whites and 120 900 blacks, but the regis
tered vote, from many causes, was prob
ably not over $50, 900 at the utmost. The
negroes seem to have abstained from vOt-
ing almost entirely, save III one district,
and probably as many as $1,000 white
men did the same.
The World offers in explanation of the
light vote cast, this statement: There
having been no genuine contest in South
Carolina for years, and none having been
anticipated this year, until about month
before the election, many voters were
caught absolutely unprepared."
The one district referred to is what is
known as the ''black district" 1t was
formed year or so ago by the legisla-
ture so as to include as large a portion
of the colored population of the state as
possible, thus relieving the other con-
greSsional districts of that element, SO as
TO enable the Democrats to control them.
Under this arrangement the one district
was given over TO the blacks, with the
understanding that they were to select
their representative from among them
selves and elect him. At the last cleo
ton, however, hungry Democrat an
nounced himself as a candidate against
the colored candidate. And although
the Democrat was Overwhelmingly de-
footed at the polls he announced that he
would contest the election on the ground
of irregularlty in large number of the
ballots cast by the colorod voters, in ig-
norance of the new election law that
prescribes the form of ballot to be used.
1t is worthy of note, just here, that the
paper above quoted denounces this
scheme as unfair and dishonest and calls
upon the party not to lend it counten-
ance and support. The issue will be
watched with a degree of interest.

AN OUTRAGE.

In looking over the leading Alliance pa
pers-and there are "A number, of marked
ability in Kansas-we have been not a lit
tie surprised to note that, in the intoxica-
tion of victory, the organs of the Peoples
party have uniformly failed to give any
credit for the signal victory, in the late
election, to the Democracy of the state
Topeka Democrat.
Oh, Lord, what break! There is not
another head in all Kansas equal to the
above. TomIinson will please accept our
thanks for the hint. The same organs
have uniformly failed to give like
credit for their signal victory to the Re-
pubIicans of the state. One-half or more
Of that same Alliance vote were Repub-
icans, and by that sign we are entitled
to one-half of their votes for ingalls,.
Tomlinson and the Democrats are well
come to the other half. We hope the
Peoples party will see the wisdom and
justice of the claim urged by our friend
Tomlinson and make immediate repara-
ton

IT WOULD BURST HIM.

If Marsh will agree that what he OPP
poses is sure to succeed, the Times viii
yield the point and nominate the editor of
the Wichita EAGLE as the candidate of the
Democrats in the Legislature for United
States senator.-Leavenwort Times.
We can afford to agree TO nothing
that would promise anything so disas-
trous as the support of the Times. We
were nominated once for the United
States senate and received several votes
in the joint session of the two houses,
on the granger issue. We never took
time to figure out why we were not
elected, but we weren't. Come, now, to
think of it, the Leavenworth Times must
in some way have let it out that it enter
tanned friendly feeling for us. If our
mutual estimates of the value of each 9TH
ers support are approximately correct,
and there seems now no doubt of it, we
suggest that the Times and EAGLE unite
in support of the Alliances candidate
for that position.

GOOD ADVICE.

The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette
one of the leading Republican papers of
the country, gives the Republicans of
Kansas the benefit of the following adj
vice on the prohibition issue, which NAV
be protitably conned by the leaders Of
the prohib-Republican party:
Prohibition in Kansas did not get the
heavy blow that was expected. The vote
in favor of resubmitting the liquor ques-
ton to the people was only 10000 out of
2S5, 900, and it Is said that large num-
Der of the men elected to the legislature
on the Peoples ticket are in favor of pro-
hibition. Yet it cannot be denied that
the Republican party of Kansas has a
heavy load 10 carry in supporting prohi-
bition. Sooner or later it will fail under
its burden. The lesson of the last cleo
ton should be needed, and the Repub-
icauS should not lose time in arranging
for policy of high license and local OPP
ton. On that, as a state issue, they can
hold the fort but prohibition in any
large state, and especially a western state,
Is bound To be q failure.
