The opposition to the denomination of
Harrison is becoming quite prominent,
especially among the 22-calibre politi-
clans. The opposition to Harrison among
the men of brains is most generally with
those who are not opposed to Harrison
individually. but are great admirers of
Blaine. The administration of Harrison
has been as polite and sensible as that of
any previous one. AS a man he is as
generous as justice will allow, as pure
and distinctly American as any man.
Both Blaine and Harrison have proven
themselves by their works to be men of
the people, and so far superior to the cor
pulent and only democrat, that if he is
nominated, as he will be. either of them
can be elected if nominated, unless re-
publicans should fail to do their duty.

THERE is good deal of editorial nom
sense over what Judge Gregory, of the
Garden City Sentinel, said in his paper at
the editorial association at Hutchinson.
Judge Gregory is not a patron saint. He
is not our leader. He did not voice the
sentiments of the association. He is one
of the last men that ought to give advice.
We don't take much stock in the man or
in what he said. He is too much like
some of the Peoples party leaders. We
believe in the principles of fairness, Of
fighting the devil with fire. Ifyour enemy
slaps you on one cheek don't turn the
other. Such a policy will neither do you
or your enemy any good. This platform
is good enough for US. and if Judge
Gregory or ingalls, or any body else don't
like it let them get out of the party

Who paid for the costly and magnifi-
cent train that the railroads placed at
the disposal of Mr.. Harrison during his
trip across the continent? 1Mnction Cit,

Harrison paid for his trip, as be-
comes a man, and travelled as becomes a
president. The slaves of farmers don't
refuse to pay their hOwlers; some of the
people who kick at Harrison for being
liberal do not hesitate to give their cash
to their howlers instead of paying inter-

ed to leave them at my millinery store.
The library is for the benefit of our citi-

toward the establishing of it. An effort
will be made to have the library open
every afternoon, so that those wishing,

WITH an English production of over
1000, 900 boxes of tin plate per annum.
of which over 5000. 900 boxes have been
sold in this country, it is not an idle
question whether or not we can be re-
leased from the grip of the Welsh man
ufacturers. The chief part of tin plate is
iron and steel, not tin. From 96 to So
per cent. of tin plate is iron or steel sheet.
This country produces both in unlimi-
ted quantity. Foreign tin plate is made
on iron or steel sheets by the use of 2 to
per cent. of tin, imported into England
from the Straits of Malacca. We can i'm
port tin to put on our steel and iron
sheets. as we'll as the English. and we
have prospective producing tin mines in
Virginia, in South Dakota and Southern
California, which promise so well that
we may be able to produce the tin itself.
We have been paying s25. O0O, ono to $780,
OOO, 600 annually for tin plates from
abroad. The possibility of retaining that
money at home by building up the in
dustry here is too great to be ridiculed,
scorned or derided. 1t is an American
project. under an American policy, and
in spite of the sneers of the British SYM
pathizing press, it is making definite and
positive progress, which warrants the
prediction that it will succeed. This is

WILL NOT FUSE.

There is no prospect of fusion of
Kansas democracy with the calamity out
fit. The men who have guided the des-
tiny of the democratic craft in Kansas do
not propose that such mistakes shall be
made, and that the party may again be
advised of the situation Il meeting of the
state central committee and leading DEM
ocrats was held yesterday to take such
steps as might seem necessary at this
time. The meeting was representative
and prominent members of the party
were present from all portions of the
state. Strong and able resolutions
were adopted expressing the sentiment
that the democrats of the various cOun-
ties of the state should preserve the party
organization intact and be in readiness
for the great political battle of 1892.
These resolutions were signed by the
chairman and Secretary and will be sent
to the chairman of every county commit
tee in the state, with the further instruc-
ton to make fight for county officers
this fall.
1t is believed that in counties where
the alliance has the majority there is a
disposition to unite the opposition and
defeat this new organization. In such
combination would be found republicans
and democrats. business men and all
good citizens who are in favor of paying
their honest debts. against reputation,
and who desire to regain and re-establish
the good name and good credit Of Kan
sas, which was seriously damaged by
the temporary victory of the calamity
and alarmist party last NOvember.-Zo-

The eastern papers that have been tell
ing sOrrOwful tales about drOuth stricken
Kansas. will soon begin to warn their
readers of the danger of floods in that
state. The only thing in Kansas that
can drink continuously without getting
full, is the soil. 1t is the only state in
the Nation in which you can work in the
fields within an hour after hard rain
and not get stuck in the mud. 1t is per-
haps owing to this that so many get
.'stuck'' on the country.

100000 are expended annually by the
teachers of Kansas to attend the normal
institutes. 1t is probably owing to the
instruction thus received that so many
Kansas teachers take so high rank as
educators. The time has passed when a
knowledge of books and even useful facts
is sufficient qualification for first-class
teacher. One might as well expect to
make good mechanic or artist by at
tending lectures as to make a teacher
without instruction in the art of apply
ing and imparting information. The
normal is as necessary to the young
teacher as is the clinic and dissecting
room to the young physician.

FORTUNES acquired by chance or by a
single jump into some field of labor are
few in number. When the idea that a
fortune or fat office is awaiting him,
if he only happens to find it, takes pos
session of a young man he has then fit
ted himself for the box-whittlers, the
tramp's or beggar's duties and position
in life. The habit of day dreaming and
building air castles is as hard to over
come and as fatal to success in life as is
dishonesty or intemperance. But moth
ing so thoroughly damns youth to a
life of poverty, the latter half of which
will be spent in drudgery, and In doing
unpleasant jobs for industrious persons,
than to be possessed with the idea that
he is sharp enough to make a good and
fairly honest living without work. The
fact that one has this idea is positive ev-
idence that he is below mediocrity. A
way to success is open to the average
boy, though the resting places are not
the saloons by the wayside. A reasona-
BILE amount of labor with only a fair in
tellect insures a fair amount of success.
The freedom allowed Young America
to-day is as much detriment to the con-
ceited and indolent individual as it is
advantageous to the more sensible and
energetic. Boys will be boys, but not all
boys viii be men though they live an
hundred years.

that keeps him on the road much of the
time and who visits nearly every county
in the state, says that most every farmer
he meets says that this years crop will
put him out of debt and that he will pay
off his mortgage unless he thinks it will
make more than the interest if invested
in stock. From the way the farmers act
he says that he don't believe they belong

THERE is one good coming out of the
present and recent political agitation of
the country that will exert an influence
for years to come, that is the knowledge
of the workings, and the business meth
DDS of the government. Since the men
of the present were squalling infants 10
their mothers arms they have heard the
annual 4th of July talks and bowls about
the grandure of our country: in boyhood
they read some L. S. history because
there were stories and pictures of war.
each fall they have read the county pa
per of their or their fathers political
faith. But the real magnitude of the ma
ton in its business affairs. was unknown
to more than Il small per cent of our citi-
zens. But the past few years have
brought in contact with the masses
many facts concerning the life of our
government that were found to directly
concern them; many statements they had
heard and taken as true they now begin
to view from another standpoint and find
equally as good ground for an opposite
opinion. The false financial theories
have been exposed and their dangers
made plain. They realize the difference
in the effect of tariff and internal reve-
nue. The different departments of gov
eminent and the duties of each are
known to the majority of people. The
main benefits to be derived from this in
creased knowledge of the masses is that
the false and fiiHsy ideas so often pre-
scented by demagogues and Office seekers
will take less hold upon their hearers and
give them less opportunity to be boost
ed into Office which they are incapable
of filling. on account of the promises
made with no idea of their fulfillment.
The time is past when the majority ia
any community can be bamboozled into
supporting the class of senseless howlers
whose only qualification is their poverty,
both mental and financial, that have too
often received the endorsement of .
reasonably sensible community.

T.. Wood Davis, the famous Sedgwick
farmer and writer visited Topeka last
week and being questioned by the Capt.
tai said:
sin my view the crop of wheat in
America will be above the average. the
acreage being ], 900, 900 larger than usual.
The wheat area in the world during the
eighth decade increased 24,OOO,O 900 acres,
which was out of proportion to the in
crease of population. The increase in
wheat area being l6 per cent. while the
increase in population was II per cent;
the result being low prices the world
over, depression of all agricultural inter-
ests. stagnation in commercial circles,
and great depreciation in the value Of
lands as we'll as an enormous accumula-
ton of breadstuffs.
''During the ninth decade the wheat
area increased but 3 200, 900 acres, being
l 1-2 per cent, while the bread -eating
population increased Ii 1-2 per cent. re-
sulting in a late and rapid advance in the
price of breadstuffs, an upward tendency
in the value of land. This dispOrtion-
ate increase in population. and area de-
voted to the production of breadstuff re-
suited in a wheat area fully 100000
acres below the normal requirements of
the bread-eating population. being equal
to shortage from deficient acreage of
0.000, 900 bushels of wheat per annum,
that is increasing at the rate of 25,OO0,-
600 bushels yearly. In addition to this
normal shortage of 10O.OO0,OOO bushels
the growing crop of Europe is now esti-
mated by European statisticians at from
100, OOO, 900 to 25O, 100000 bushels below
an average, making the probable entire
shortage anywhere from 25O,OOO,O 900 to
300, OOO, 900 bushels for the coming cereal
year.
What will be the result Oh prices:
LAS to prices" responded Mr.. Davis,
s'the probabilities are that the necessi-
ties of the farmers throughout the world
will require them to market a large part
of the growing crop 1--WE may say three
fourths thereof during the first half of
the cereal year and this will result in
prices far below what the statistical sit
uatiOn warrants but when the pinch
comes, as it most certainly will during
the fourth quarter of the cereal year, the
prices will advance rapidly, greatly. and
are likely to reach anywhere from S1.5O
to $500 per bushel in the wheat produc-
ing districts of the United States.
with such crop as is promised in
the United States we should have 12O,-
OOO, 600 bushels for export, but the short
age of the growing crop in France being
officially estimated at $4,000, 900 bushels
and the tropical islands, Central Ameri-
ca and eastern Asia annually taking
about 10000, 900 bushels of our wheat
