THE CAUSE OF CAUSES.
Why the Republican Party Sustained
Such Great Reverses.
Chicago Inter Ocean.


Such Great Reverses.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The reverses 10 the republican party
are sufficiently numerous and silf-
ficien,ly uniform in character TO be
assigned a common cause. we say
cause rather than causes, for while
disgrunllement concerning appoint
ments and the habitual apathy OF OIL
wears increased the magnitude OF the
disasters, they are wholly insufficient
TO the creation of them.
The unrefecting will say it was
"ihe tariff that did it," which will be
near the truth, but yet not the truth.
II was the delay of the senate in pass
ing the tariff bill that did il. That
is the cause of causes.
The law is protective; 1t has proved
itself beneficial in the few weeks of
its operation; six months hence II
will he so clearly and widely recog-
nized as beneficial as TO insure repu biz
can success wherever and whenever a
candidate asks the suffrages OF north
ern constituency to prevent its repeal.
But instead OF six months little more
:han the half of six weeks was given
for test of its operation. Had the
hin become law OH the 9th day of June
instead of on the 9th day of October,
the falsehoods concerning its effect on
the prices of commodities would have
been too transparent for use. It's to be
remembered that four long months OF
weary delay and debate interviewed
from the passage of tariff bill by the
house to lis acceptance in modified
form by the senate. During all
this time the democratic press, inspired
by the importers ring and the Cobden
club. was incessantin creating feel
ing of distrust. lest the increased
duties should be followed by increased
Drices. Had the senate muzzied It's
obstrpperous minority as boldly as
did the house, the time spent by the
democratic press in creating alarm
could have been used by the republic
can press IN restoring confidence by
example of the beautiful action Ut the
new law.
But as matters have gone the whole
Democratic press has been given time
TO iierate aud reiierate false charges
of aincreased prices on account OF The
tariff" and, unfortunately, the false
hoods have gAined wide credency.
That they win react upon their ven
doris is certain. Prices, generally
speaking, are not higher since the pas

TIE KANSAS HOUSE.

From the latest returns it appears
that the next Kansas house of repre-
sentatives will contain So members
elected by the peoples party, 10 demo
Gratis and 81 republicans. In addition
to these there will be 6 republican del
egates who have no vote, 2 democrats
and . peoples men. There will be a
lively scramble for the United States
senatorshir in the Legislature. Senator
Ingalls's friends have not given up
hope, while the opposition claim that
he is surely defeated. The Atchlson
Globe, democratic, says. "The next
senator will be either ingalls, or a
chump."

TO RE GIVEN TO THE WORLD.
The following is a dispatch dated
Berlin, Nov. IL, showing that Prof.
Koch, the great German physician
and scientist, will SOON make public
his cure for consumption:
In accordance with his statement
that he desires neither material adj
vantage nor pecuniary reward for
his discovery of method for the cure
of consumption, Prof. Koch will in
two or three days publish a full ac-
count of his researches in connection
with his discovery. .
The Frankfort Zeitung affirms that
the lymph used for inoculating the
patients will be within the reach ut
all aud it will cost only % marks
for a small phial. The success OF the
treatment is certain in tubercular af-
fections of the skin, joints and bones,
aud also in early stages Of pulmonary
complaints. The lymph destroys the
tubercular baccilli.
Several authorities confirm the re-
port of the cure of DIR. Koch's method
of case of lupus on the face aud
arms within five days. The lymph
throws off the baccilli by the necrOtic
process. incubation with the lymph
is Intellectual in syphilitic affections.
The emperor has summoned Prof.
Koch to a personal interview, desiring
to learn the details of the results OBJ
tanned by consumptives with the treat
ment found by the professor. 1t is
stated that the treatment has been
proven efficacious beyond question,
A Frankfort telegram to the Berlin
Post says that the emperor has made
a gift Of $25O,0O0 TO Prof. Koch, and
has given another $250,0O0 to endow
a national institute at which the
lymph used in the treatment will be
produced.

wMEnE our DRAM Is.

1 nEkn OOh OAnAA@@F
We find the following choice piece
of good reliable alliance doctrine In
that good old reliable democratic news
paper, the Kansas City Times:
Yesterday saw a continuance of the
trou BILE on tie New York stock eX-
change. How far the trouble will ex-
tend the next few days will determine.
The west is not IN as much danger as
IL would have been two or three years
ago from New York disturbances. Ii
is likely that whatever happens on the
sto:k board the agricultural belt VIII
escape easily.
Jaw Gould ascribes the depression
TO European influence. The state of
European finance aud the action OF the
Bank of England do reach out and
affect American stocks, but we can hnd
something nearer home TO reflect upon
By the last treasury statement The
United States has in cash reserves,
available cash and net cash 1851, 3l6,-
$50. Government receipts for October
amounted to $I0,2l5,S94. This is
$7,7OO,000 more than the receipts dur
ing October, 1889. The expenditures
were $3S. O36,664 being an increase of
IS. 5OO0O0. These expenditures are
about half as much as the total gov
ernment expenditures for the whole
year of 1860. The receipts for the four
months ending October 81 were %l54,-
627, la, SO, 100000 more than for the
corresponding period Of last year.
Every year the amount of money the
government absorbs gets larger. IL
deals in cash-not in credits or evl.
dences of wealth. 1t takes actual
money out of circulation. Not only
that, but it takes money from the
classes which earn and distributes il
for purposes outside of industry or
business.
The effect of our government sys-
tenn of finance and government eX-
travagance is depressing to all trade
and labor. Under bad method we
lock up more gold than any other
country. We evade the circulation OF
the full amount of silver certificates
nominally specified in the laws.
The government is the greatest drain
on the money market.
lis inexcusable policy of accumulat-
ing a surplus and using vast sums to
prepay interest and call IN bonds slim
ulates mere gambling speculation and
creates an unhealthy dependence on
federal treasury assistance when spec
ulation reaches its reaction.
The clearing house association yes
terday avcrted serious consequences IN
New York and tine prospects for inn
provement are good. The evil OF our
finance does not cease, however. The
pressure is continuous.
Mckinley tariffs, contracted curren-
cv and terrific drain from the gov
eminent on the money market would
paralyze trade in a less wealthy and
intensely industrious nation. They
pull us back as it is, and pull the ag-
ricnltural states back worse than any
and the poorer working classes OH
farms and in shops worse than other
classes. We must unlearn republican
economies and administer the govern
ment for the people on business prin-
cinleS.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ONE VOTE.
The late election has again proven
the importance of one vote. In the
Girard representative district E. Loo
mis-, republican, was defeated by A.
j. Cory, peoples candidate, by one
vote. In Marion county there was
tie on representative, each candi-
date receiving S39 votes. In Ellis
county the republican candidate for
the same office had a majority of two.
No voter should ever neglect his duty.

LAST OF THE MEAT LAW.
MinnesOta's Measure Knocked Out by tn
United States Supreme Court

MinnesOta's Measure Knocked Out by the
United States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The supreme
court of the United States rendered de-
cision in the case of the State of Mime
sofa, appellant, VS.. Henry f. Barber, the
famous dressed beef" case. The court
affirms the decision of the lower court,
declaring the dressed beef law uncon-
stitutional, and discharging the appellee
from custody. Barber was convicted
before justice of the peace in Ramsey
county, Minnesota, of having wrong
fully and unlawfully offered and ex-
posed for sale, and of having sold some
fresh beef, part of an animal slaughtered
in Illinois, but not inspected in Mime
sofa and certified" before slaughter as
required by the statute of Minnesota.
Barber sued out writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the statute was re-
pugnant to the provision of the constitu-
ton giving congress power to regulate
commerce between the states, as well as
to the provisions declaring that citizens
of each state shall be entitled
to privileges and immunities of
citizens in the several states. The lower
court held the statute to be in violation
of both these provisions. In the decision
handed down by Justice Harlan the OBJ
noxious statute is quoted at length. The
presumption that it was enacted in good
faith, to protect the health of the people
of Minnesota, the court says, cannot
control the question of constitutionality.
The court holds that this statute
makes discrimination against the pro-
ducts and business of other states in IA
vor of the products and business of Min
nesota. Eff this legislation does not
make such discrimination it would be
difficult to enact legislation which would
have such result" says the court.

cidcs in His Favor.
FRANKFORT, KY, May 17.-Imme-
diately after the Democratic joint legis-
lative caucus had been called to order,
Senator Cooper arose and announced the
withdrawal of Ex-Governor Proctor
Knott as q candidate for United States
senator. When the balloting began there
was great excitement, as it became evil
dent that the majority of Knott's sup
porters were going to Mr.. Carlisle.
Judge Lindsay's supporters, however,
stood by him, and eight of the Knott
votes went to Representative McCreary.
The ballot resulted: Carlisle, So; Lind
say, 80; McCreary, 30. Senator Smith
then announced the withdrawal of Rep
resentative McCreary. Before the roll
call for the second ballot was concluded
it was evident that Mr.. Carlisle would
receive the nomination, and amid cheer
ing and much confusion the vote was
announced: Carlisle, 70; Lindsay, 43.
On motion of Senator Thomas, on behalf
of Judge Lindsay and his friends, Mr.
Carlisles nomination was made unan-
imous, and committee of five was ap-
pointed by the chairman to notify Mr..
Carlisle of his nomination and to con-
duct him to the chamber.

County Fair Grounds.

At the meeting of those Interested
in fencing our county far grounds,
putting up buildings and putting the
race track in good condition, held at
Morris last Saturday, it was decided
to form a stock company and issue
certificates of stock at $40 u share.
The day was wet and unpleasant, but
still there was fair attendance, all
present being enthusiastically in
favor of putting the fair grounds in
good condition. Stock to the amount
of $500 was subscribed for by those
present, and the committee appointed
to solicit subscriptions were confident
that $1,000 or more could be easily
raised.
Hancock was hot represented at the
above meeting, probably owing to the
unfavorable weather. Surely our
citizens should subscribe for certain
amount of stock and help along this
most worthy undertaking. Our far
mers, stock raisers, and especially
horsemen, are interested In having
creditable grounds and buildings for
accommodation of those who wish to
exhibit their stock and the products
Of the farm, and they should not be
backward in taking stock in the en-
terpriee.
