The court and its members. including
the attorneys, are the best and most com
petent judges of the qualification of Its
officers when they have been tried. This
being true, and it cannot be gainsaid. the
unanimous endorsement of the faithful
ness and efficiency of Charles Luling.
clerk of the circuit court for Sedgwick
county, is the very h CHEST recommends
ton that could be made. Charlie Lulinc
is, by common consent, admitted to be
the best clerk the circuit court for this
county ever had. and it is no disparage-
ment to his honorable, capable and trust
worthy predecessors to say so. Mr.. Luz
ling has been endorsed by the bar of the
county, by the Republicans of the
county in making him their nominee,
and he asks an endorsement at the hands
of the voters of the county at the polls
next Tuesday. 1t is a reasonable request
and justice urges that it be given him.

Let it be understood and remembered
that the state Alliance was in session
at Topeka on the very day that
the federal judges made an infamous de-
cision that whisky was without legal con-
troll in Kansas Let it be further under
stood and remembered that five resolu-
tions were offered by temperance members
of the Alliance denouncing that decision
Let it be further understood and remem-
bered that every one of these resolutions
was suppressed, and the Alliance man
ayers refused to allow vote on these five
resolutions, or any one of them.-Capital
All of which would seem to indicate
that the Alliance was more for result
mission than for prohibition and further
that they had respect unto the decision
of the courts; but from the fact that the
Capital double leads the above wall we
are satisfied that the Alliance wasn't run
by the Topeka contingent.

Never did a civil officer carry with
him in the discharge of his official duties
a more earnest, honest, painstaking en-
deavor than has Hon. w. S. Morris.
Sedgwick county's faithful and capable
law officer. While he has been scrupu-
lousy watchful of the best interests of
the community he has also ever regarded
the rights of the individual A mere
allegation laid against an accused with
out good and sufficient evidence of his
guilt has never been enough of itself
for him to prosecute: nevertheless with
such proof he has never failed to prose
cute offenders without fear or favor.
The Jeffersonian test for official prefer
ment, l. e., honesty and capability. finds
its fullest exemplification in County At
torney Morris. He is entitled to and
should receive the cordial support of
every good citizen for reelection next
Tuesday.

ton of American industries, but of all
American industries. You may have
heard that for many years l fought Tor
the coinage of silver. For this was call
ed thief, robber, and many other kind
names Hard names do not kill, how
ever; if they did should have been dead
long ago. The silver bill did not take
the right direction. 1t should have pro-
vided for the coinage of American silver
alone. The product of our mines falls
little short of the $64, 000, 900 that are to
be expended each year, but if the bill
had contained this provision, the product
in year would have been sufficient 10
supply all requirements. In reference TO
the tariff bill, do not consider it as the
end of human intelligence. but you can
rely upon it that it never will be substan-
tally altered; that the great principle of
protection can never be changed In
conclusion | wish to say that in no city
of the country are the men of wealth and
the men of industry so closely united as
they are in St. Louis"

The fact that not one of the bitterest
opponents 10 the Republican county
ticket or either one Of the candidates on
1t, has alleged anything against the capa-
bility or efficiency of these officers as
such in the discharge of the duties of
the respective positions, it is the strong
est argument in favor of their reelection
that could be advanced. To say that
they have thus faithfully performed their
duties, and to the entire satisfaction Of
the people Of the county without regard
to party utilization is but 10 state a fact
that everybody familiar with and readily
admits. In this view of the case as to
these, therefore. it would seem an asper-
sion upon the intelligence and high sense
Of right of the voters Of Sedgwick coun-
ty TO question their purpose TO give the
ticket a cordial support.

BEN. BUTLER IN ST. LOUIS.

Gen. B. F. Butler who had been west
| looking after some landed interest
stopped for a day in st. Louis enroute
east and, while there was rendered a re-
ception at the Merchants Exchange. In
response to calls for a speech, he re-
sponded and from the Globe Democrat s
report of it we excerpt the following
which will be read with interest not only
on account of its authorship but because
it contains some statements of fact not
generally known, which facts in them
selves embody some valuable suggestions
to the great west. Gen. Butler said
Gentlemen of the St Louis Mer-
chants Exchange: l will speak to you
not as members of different political par
ties, but as fellow-citizens. One and all
are deeply interested In what is best for
the country. / regard st. Louis as an
excellent example of the best that
America can do. st. Louis is one of the
greatest financial. commercial and man
ufacturing cities of the United States,
and events have proved the statesman
ship of those who chose this as the site
of a great city. As long ago as the time
when the French tried to draw a Gordon
around the English settlements. St Louis
was selected as the site of the prin-
cipal western fort, and time has
proved how foresighted they were.
You of the west scarcely appre-
ciate the value and extent Of western
commerce. The commerce carried on
upon the great lakes alone is greater than
the commerce to and from the United
States on the ocean. / remember when
the bill was passed making an appropri-
alton for canal at Sault Ste. Marie. It
was believed that the canal would be
convenience to the lumber men of the
northwest, and as 1t would not cost
much it was decided TO construct It,
Last wear the traffic through this canal
for the eight months during which it was
opened was greater than through the
Suez canal, the possession of which has
been a matter of bitter controversy be-
tween great nations. If this little canal
is so important. what must your great

The Alliance has got out lying circu-
lar against Douglass. These fellows may
fool some people but they won't fool the
people of Wichita as to what George did
or didn't. The people of Wichita are for
fact proud of George L. Douglass, and
proud of the record he made two years
ago. He was one of the youngest men
in the legislature but when that body
adjourned he stood at the head without
a whispered suspicion that he had been
a boodler or that he even had made a
single mistake.

1t is conceded by everybody that the
office of probate judge of Sedgwick
county has never been more efficiently
discharged than it has for the past two
years at the hands of w. T. Buckner, the
Resubmission Republican candidate for
reelection to that Office. Nobody denies
that he honestly merits an endorsement,
and voters will find it mighty hard work
to frame an excuse that will be satisfac-
tory to themselves, if there should be any
who might want to, for voting against
him

Curious Coincidence.

From the Kansas City Gazette,
All presidential candidates whose sur
names ended with the letter n. and who
ran with vice presidential candidates
whose names also ended with n. were
elected. Here is the list: jefferson and
Clinton; jackson and Calhoun came in
together. so did jackson and Van Buren,.
and Van Buren, was lucky in running
with johnson, for both were elected So
also Were Lincoln and HamIin, Lincoln
and johnson, and Harrison and Morton.
The at the end of the two names may
not mean anything. but the coincidence
Is curious.

Rev. Botkin says that the EAGLE mis-

that he will vote for Jerry and that

Senator Plumb at Home.

From the Kansas City star.
1t is safe TO say that Senator Plumb
was highly gratified by tbs cordial
demonstration in his honor at Emporia
last evening. Few public men are as
sensitive to praise or Plumb, and he is
particularly Jealous of the estimation in
which he is held by his neighbOrs. He
cherishes a genuine attachment for the
town in which he first courted fortune
as an editor more than thirty years ago,
and then as a struggling and ''briefless
barrister." This feeling is fully re-
quilted by the EmpOria people, who are
proud of Plumb and who glory in
his honors all the more because he has
not allowed his success to ALLEVIATE him
from his old friends. He at all times
and places genuine Kansan. but at his
home more than any other place, ne casts
off all of the reserve which becomes
almost necessary with men occupying
positions of great responsibility, and sur
renders himself without restraint 10 the
influence OF the old familiar environ
ments which he mas never ceased to re-
gard with foBdnesS and delight.
