Indiana offers Isaac Pusey Gray to the

Springfield Democrat to observe that,
"That is why the national Democracy

mistake or misunderstanding just how
Governor Gray stands with regard to the
two overtowering issues of free coinage
of silver and tariff reform" If any such
considerations obtain in and actuate that

trip says that he has ridden around the

that, in his opinion, there IS little likeli-

THE PREsID zNT APPRECIATED IN

gomery Of Oregon at the Fifth Avenue
hotel
Mr.. Montgomery is one of the wealth
lest and most influential Republicans on
the Pacific coast. He was asked what
he meant by the term ''favorably dis
posed" He said:
ut simply means that the people
think the president has discharged his
duties in a satisfactory manner and been
true to his party and his party's plat
form. He has made safe president,
and his visit to the west has proven con-
clusivelv that he is one of the finest

UTILIZING CONVICT LABOR.

From the Washington Post.
One good result of the miners out
break in Tennessee against the convict
laborers is that it has provoked gen.
eral and more or less intelligent discus
sion of the system which led to the
emeute. There can be no doubt that the
leasing of convicts to private corpora
tons or individuals, as generally prac-
ticed at the south, is Objectionable from
almost every point of view. It is at
tended by many and serious evils, not
the least of which are the inevitable
maltreatment aud degradation of the
prisoners. In the states where the sys-
tenn is pursued, the explanation offered
is the poverty of the treasury and the
inability of the people to endure addi-
tional taxation; but it has never occurred
to US that this explanation is even ap-
proximately valid. There are many
ways in which the convicts can be en-
ployed far more profitably to the COM
monwealth than by leasing them out.
With the possible exception of Kentucky
and Tennessee, there is not state south
of the Ohio which does not suffer the
curse of bad country roads, and in which
a complete system of turnpikes would
not add greatly to the value of property.
In Arkansas. Mississippi and Louisiana
the convicts could also be used to main
tain the protection levees which now
cost enormous sums annually. Indeed,
we see no reason why the states could
not utilize their convicts to infnitly bet
ter effect than by farming them out to
spectators and contractors. 1t is to be
hoped that the agitation which has fol-
lowed the Tennessee outbreak will lead
to a reformation of prison methods at
the south. Not only organized society,
but the individual taxpayer would profit
vastly In such contamination.

HE Is THIRD.

The editor of the national newspaper
organ of the Alliance, published at
Washington, is sick Of his party and of
his mission in journalism, and has de-
termined to join the Republican party,
if reports be true. He is quoted as say
ing; 81 am going to join party that
stands for something, which has positive
views, and knows how to advocate and
how to defend them; which seeks and
generally secures prosperity for the peo-
pie, and which usually wins. / am tired
of chasing the will-o'-the-wisps of the
third party movements. The leaders
in them pretend that they are endeavor-
ing to rid the people of boss rule. In
reality they are seeking to elevate them,
selves to boss-ship, which, if successful,
would be more tyrannical because more

The value of the precious metals used
last year in the industrial arts in the
United States was S1S,000, 900 gold and
SO, 900, 900 silver, total of $27, 1000, 900.
Estimating that one-half of this use is
from coin it would use up S13, 900
coin per annum. Add to this by hoard
ing at an average of only 25 cents per
capita would use up 5000, 900, making
a total of about 30,000,00O contraction
of coin annually in these two ways.
Take this amount from the S53, 900, 900
of silver and about $4,000, 900 of gold
that were added to the circulation under
the coinage acts, and we have net in
crease in the volume of currency for the
year of 81 600, ,000-not quite as much
as is desired by the public, but enough
to insure the country against hurtful
contraction of the currency from its
volume.

TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN 'e2.

From the Junction City Union.
Marsh Murdoch, in his Wichita EAGLE,
publishes an interesting "piece" on the
governorship candidature business. AS
many friends are booming him for the
Office, he felt impelled to thank them for
their kind words and to explain his
position. He would like to be governor
of this grand state that he has labored so
untiringly and long to help build up, but
he will not engage in any fixing" with
the men who are now in snug quarters
nor will he go over the state and ''see
the boys" therefore he thinks his friends
might as well cease to work for him. 1t
certainly is a great pity if the condition
obtains that Mr.. Murdoch pictures. If
it does, then the people should proceed to
nominate some man who will not resort
to such means as the EAGLE editor de-
nounces. The Union knows governors
who have never made ante-election
pledges. The Republicans in '92 propose
to act up to the square-dealing principle.

Kansas is a phenomenal state, in many
respects, and it furnishes more strange,
peculiar phenomena than any other
equal stretch of territory extant. A
short time ago the statement was made
and regularly vouched for that an orna-
mental tree that stands on the premises
of a citizen of Kingman has shed a
shower of rain continuously for weeks
and months. Now comes a report from
Topeka that over a certain orchard in
that city cloud has hung for some time
giving down a ceaseless fall of rain, not
a drop of which water has fallen on the
adjacent ground.

THE STRIP OUGHT TO BE OPENED.

The cattle barons are again working
the Cherokees against the propositions
of the commissioners in the hope that
no understanding may be arrived at in
time for the next congress to act. in
which event the strip will be left for
another year to their cattle. This all is
simply an outrage. For two years the
head men of the Cherokees have dilly-
dallied over this question to the hurt of
Oklahoma, and to other large COM
munity interests, to say nothing of the
thousands of American citizens who
have patiently waited for a chance to
secure a home an lands that if they do
not belong to the government do not be-
long to these cattle barons. The people
of Southern Kansas and of Oklahoma
ought to unite in a demand that this
improbable sixty mile bridge of unoc-
cupied prairie that lies between them,
hindering their inter-commerce and
other natural relations and mutual in
terests, be annihilated There is reason
in all things. The Cherokees would
have acceeded to reasonable terms long
since but for the undue influence and
side-jobbery of interested parties, and
patience has ceased in this outlet ques-
ton to be a virtue.

KANSAS AND TEXAS.

For two years past the great volume of
immigrants, seeking new homes, has
been in the direction of Texas, rather
than into Kansas. Kansas people, a
hundred thousand of them, probably,
have gone to Texas, more especially to
Texas towns. This fact has proved some
what discouraging to Kansas people
when in reality it should not There is
no comparison between the two states as
time will not only abundantly show but
as it will send back to Kansas those who
went away. The western and southern
part of Texas, which it is desired to settle
up, is in deplorable condition. Except
in spots, there is no grass, and no water
at all except in the streams, which are
fast going dry. Cattle are said to be eat
ing cactus and dying because they
have no other pasture. There is
no market for the animals, because
they are not strong enough TO
stand drive TO the railroad. The face
of the earth is a dusty waste, aud many
immigrants who have been induced to
seek homes there DO not even stop, but
pass on to other regions. Kansas catches
an occasional drouth but so does every
other state, while in south and west
Texas drouth is the normal condition.
South Kansas people should not have
forgotten how the cattle raisers of Texas
for years regularly drove the herds into
this country for summer pasturage and
until the Kansas settler would no longer
submit, now that the cattlemen find the
Cherokee strip along our southern border
incalculably better today for pasturage
than Texas. Eastern Texas viii un-
doubtedly hold its OVID as cotton pro-
ducing section but Texas either as 10
sections or as whole can never rival
Kansas for climate, for health, for homes
or for general prosperity.

The action of the Republican national
committee in deciding to hold the con-
vention next year in Minneapolis is an
unmistakable indication of willingness
and desire on the part of the great party
of the people to get near the people and
to conform the party's actions to the
wishes and demands of the people, free
from extraneous influences likely to be
exerted under certain eastern influences.
1t was a wise act, and will tell for good
upon the interests of the party and
country.

The question of county roads-how
to secure and maintain good ones-is
one that has long vexed many portions
of the country and is theme of cease
less discussion in the local press. 1t is a
question that has never agitated the lar
ger portion of Kansas, however, because
for the most part the country roads in
this state, during the larger portion of
the year, are the very best without any
artificial aids. In states and sections,
though, where it requires extra effort to
keep the wagon roads in passable condi-
ton the Norway system might be adopt
ed with effect. In that country each
farmer is assigned certain amount of
road to take care of and his name
appears on the sign-board on his section
of the road. 1t is needless to say that
the roads IN Norway are among the
finest in the world.
