Colonel 1. l. Polk, president of the
Farmers Alliance, in an interview at
the National hotel in Washington, on
Monday, said that if Dir. Cleveland was
nominated for president no Alliance
man can vote for him, and that he will
stump the state of North Carolina HIM
self against him. If the effect of such
personal efforts in North Carolina shall
be the same as, they were in Kansas,
Cleveland and the Democracy could not
sesire anything better than FOR Polk to
make good his threat.

The announcement comes from the
east that the Kansas State University at
Lawrence has recently received an en-
dowment of 1915 at the hands of
William B. Spooner, one of Boston's
large and philanthropic capitalists. The
money is in cash and is deposited in New
York City to the credit of the college.
Oberlin college in Ohio receives like
amount. These are the largest single
endowments either of these colleges ever
received. As to the Kansas university,
the donation is avery gratifying recogni-
ton of the high standing it has in the
east. This has been recognized many
times heretofore by the drafts that have
been made upon its faculty and alumni
to fill important and responsible positions
in the leading institutions of the coun-
try, but never before has it received so
large, substantial and beneficent Tecog-
ton from an individual source.

One of the prime objects the New
York Democrats had in carrying that
state was that by controlling the legis-
lature they could redistrict the state in
their interest so that they might secure
and hold indefinitely the legislature.
Luckily for the state, however, the Re-
publicans still continue to control the
senate and will thus be able to check
mate any gerrymandering schemes the
Democrats may propose.

TIDE WATER DEMANDS FOR GRAIN.

Mobile. New Orleans and Galveston
are struggling for supremacy in the
grain trade. Mobile looks forward with
confidence to the completion of the Mem
phis bridge, when there will be an I'M
broken line of rails to the great grain
fields of the west by way of the Mobile
and Ohio and Nettleton roads. New
Orleans has equal hope in this bridge.
and also depends upon the Mississippi
river. Galveston already has through
rail connection, and only lacks deep
water in its harbor, which congress is
expected to provide. Wichita is as fav-
orally situated as to the first two cities
as any other recognized commercial CEN
ter IN the west, as regards transportation
facilities, being as near and having as
while we are nearer to Galveston by
one-fourth the distance than any other
point. and being Immediately connected
by two Of the principal railway systems
of the west.
Added to these advantages Wichita has
another in the grain inspection now sue
cessfully established at this point, under
the state laws, which last advantage is a
very material one as affecting the de-
mand for Kansas grain, now universally
as the very best produced for
milling purposes. And with elevator
facilities as another feature of the ad-
vantages, which must and will be added
in short time, will necessarily make
this city a successful rival of the other
aud older grain centers of the west in
supplying the heavy drafts for grain
that will continue to be made and in
growing volume upon the west from the
three rival supply and export points at
tide water to the south and southeast.

Mrs. G. VI. Redman of st. Louis is also
there. She is the childs great grand

THE DEMOCRACY HANDICAPPED.

Nothing in the way of tariff legisla-
ton can be accomplished by the Demo
Gratis until they have the presidency and
the senate; and the returns from Ohio IN
dictates that they are not likely TO win
the presidency and the senate by agitat-
ing the tariff question. The tariff as an
issue is useless, so far as practical result
in Legislation is concerned. For the
present the Democrats might just as well
discuss the law of gravltation as the Nc
Kinley bill. The New York Sun, Demo-
cratic, says:
The fifty-second congress can injure
the choice of their party in 1892 by adj
vancing TO an attack upon tue tariff ques-
ton. but they can do nothing to bring
about a readjustment, and until the
workings of the law of 1890 are thor
oughly understood there will be no basis
for new settlement. The country will
