The Mississippi vote stands nearly
three to one against Subtreasury Banks
dale, which goes to show that the people
are not such fools as the demagogues
would make them. However, it is
stated that, having defeated the sub
treasury scheme over the generals
shoulders, and presumably having thus
converted him from the error, the Mis-
sissippians will shortly take him up and
make him senator TO succeed Gen.
Walthall, who wants to retire after the
ensuing short term for which he was, or
rather is to be reelected. Southern
politics are unique or nothing.

If the old political saw of GAS goes
Pennsylvania, SO goes the Union" could
be applied to the action of the Repub-
lican party in choosing a candidate for
president in 1899, Mr.. Blaine of Pennsvl-

clared such choice. See resolutions of
the Pennsylvania Republican state con-
vention in this mornings dispatches.

Some of the leading nations have pro

Some of the leading nations have pro-
tested, and every civilized nation under
heaven should protest against the infa-
mouus policy of the Gar with reference
to these people. Such inhumanity never
fails to be punished terribly, and there
is little doubt that the Gar, like Nebu-
chadnezzar, will be turned out to eat
grass before many years pass. And while
we are in the protesting mood and en-
gagged in such acts of humanitarianism,
Chill ought of right and decency be in
cluded. The line of policy that is being
pursued by both sides to the present I'M
happy contest now going on down there
is disgrace and outrage upon the civil
liztion of the world, and abundantly
warrants the Intervention of other ma
tons. The quarrel will never be settled
satisfactorily by fighting.

The quality of Kansas wheat is known
by wheat men of the west as the very
best the country produces, and the ouly
thing necessary to secure for it universal
recognition is for it to be given regular
market grade under inspection, which is
provided for, and the necessary backing
in elevator capacity to hold it up. With
these needed facilities in actual opera
ton Kansas will easily head the list of
wheat states. The bulk of her crop al
ready gives her distinction, and with the
quality of her product recognized she
will be in a position to dictate instead of
being dictated to as heretofore.

Judge Parkinson, the sugar man says
that Kansas will some day draw as much
sugar bounty as Louisiana. As an in
dication that the states production of
sugar will rival the greatest sugar state
in the Union. the assurance is crafty
ing. And. as long as the bounty is
offered of course Kansas sugar growers
viii accept it.

caused more deaths than occurred in
