Three Important State Elect ions.

Perhaps it is rare that more importance
has ever attached itself to state elections
than is the case this year in New York,
Ohio and Iowa. In New York Tammany
hall has for the first time attempted to con-
troll the state. Tammany hall politicians
are band whose object is to control and
steal from the city under legal guise. Flow
or, the democratic candidate for governor,
is the creature of Tammany. A weak man
in every way except financially for he is a
millionaire. Flower is opposed by Fassett
whose ability and not wealth recommend
him to the people. The Ohio campaign is
between Mckinley and Campbell, men of
the highest personal character. The demo-
cratic party is championing free trade, free
silver and direct taxation. Campbell has
been obliged to ignore his party platform.
The Mckinley tariff has stimulated Ohio
industries to such an extent that the calamity
predictions have failed to verify, and the out
come is conceded Republican victory.
Iowa politics hinge largely on the prohibi-
ton question. The Republicans squarely
endorse prohibition while the democrats de-
nounce it. BY the tidal wave that swept
over Iowa two years ago, which brought into
Office democratic officials, and among these
has been a concerted effort to nullify the pro-
hibitory law and bring 1t into dsrepute. AS
few laws are self enforcing the law has been
violated in many towns. Honesty in state
government is opposed to the dictation of
Tammany i'm New York. Honest money
and protection to American labor in Ohio.
Temperance and honest enforcement of
laws i'm Iowa are issues in states which the
respective stands of the two parties permits
the hope that i'm the interest of morality and
good government, the Republicans will
win.

The z. M. O. A.

The Y. nj. G. A. State Convention held
in Owosso last week was a notable gather
ing. Christian workers from every part OF
the state met in conference to devise plans
for the upbuilding of society, for reaching
those whose tendency is downward. Noble
men who are devoting their time and tai
ents in the way that seems to them most
efficacious for the good of their fellow men,
is an inspiring sight. The crowded houses
listening to the words of life from eloquent
lips cannot fail to have an influence in this

The GATE or SLEEP.

Lying between the dusk and lawn OF night.
Upon the borders OF the SEA Of sleep,
10, oft there cometh in the fading light
The break OF surgeS in the eternal deep
The soul Of me swims cut across the space
That yawns between the pulse Of life aud
death;
The senses fall; the spirit seeks its place
With those that dwell beyond the gates OF
breath
A touch. n start; the passing power Is broken;
The soul Is moveiesS midway IN is flight.
The body claims it. aud there is 10 token
Brought out from that haven OF the night
II could hold the light thag on me grows
When DER the brink Of sleep my spirit
speeds
Then could voice the mystery that flows
'Twixt life and death, tween truth aud hu-
man crteds.
But loi upon the sacred door Of sleep
There is a craven law Of import high,
HE who would sound the secrets OF this deep
Must lay him down in solitude 10 die"

KANSAS WHEAT.

Mr.. Haskell, the Kansas state grain in
spector, stated to the writer the other
day in Kansas City, Kan, that ship
ment of Kansas wheat, graded by Kan
sas inspection, was shipped to New York
for expectation by large elevator COM
pany from Kansas City, Kan, and on its
arrival in New York it sold at better
figure than any other wheat at that port.
This was in competition with large
quantity of wheat from other points,
each with its own inspection, and shows
the growing popularity Of the Kansas
wheat in the most critical market, and
proves Kansas wheat the best in the
market.
The Wichita market will be, when es-
tablished, the only market in the world
where unmixed Kansas wheat can be
depended upon. Let it be established at

Down in Alabama two of the leading
Democratic papers of the state, the Mo-
bile Register and Montgomery Adver-
tiser, endorse the suggestions of Con-
gresham Oats that all Democrats who
support the Alliance plan of establishing
government pawn shops where farm pro-
ducts and farm lands may be "spouted, .
shall be ruled out of the party. In Kan
sas the Alliance have practically taken
the same stand, that is barring all who
do not endorse the sub-treasury idiom
And yet the Democrats are crying and
whimpering around the Alliance, if per
chance they NAV pick up crumb here
and there. And that is what they call
standing by party principles.

OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATS.

In referring to the question of state
hood for Oklahoma day or two ago the
EAGLE intimated that the Democrats of
the territory are opposed to the propo-
sition, for political reasons. We have
received assurance from member of the
territorial convention that met at Ell
Reno, August l, that such is not the case;
that while they are opposed to division
of the territory into two states, they are
in favor Of the admission of the terri
tory, bounded on the east by Arkansas
and Missouri, on the north by Kansas,
on the west by Colorado and New Mex
leo and on the south by Texas, to state
hood at the earliest practical moment.
The EAGLE cheerfully gives its Demo
cratic friends in the territory the benefit
of the correction, which is creditable to
their intelligence, patriotism and enter

The Alliance following are chuckling
not little over the great victory their
party gained in Kentucky Monday in
electing a majority of the state legisla-
ture. The dispatches announce the cleo
ton of rs Alliance, so
straight Democrats and Is Republicans.
The Republicans held their own. fifteen
members of the legislature being about
as many as they ever get. As for the
Alliance, we suggest 70 them to get all
the satisfaction out of the election re-
turns they can, now; for when the leg
islature meets 76 Democratic Alliance
members will be found only so many
Democrats, making the total number 1875,
against 10 Republicans.

AN ILL-ADVIsED SCHEME.

The ordinance introduced in the city
council of Kansas City, Mo-, imposing a
license tax upon all drinkers of ardent
spirits, if enacted and put in force would
closeup every drinking saloon in the
city. The amount of money to procure
such license is enough to purchase a five
to ten gallon keg of liquor, which the
drinkers would do, and carry it home
or elsewhere to be drunk privately, and
thus evade the license tax as well as the
tippler'S profits. The effect of the
scheme would, undoubtedly, be to break
up the saloon business and rob the city
of the revenue derived from that source
in licenses, but would, unquestionably,
increase the quantity Of liquors con-
sumed and consequently the volume of
intoxication. The scheme, if tried,
could hardly fail to aggravate the evil
it is designed to remove.

Returns from threshermen indicate
that the average yield of wheat in Mis-
souri, will be about fifteen bushels to the
acre. The Kansas City Star says that is
considerably below the ordinary average,
but the acreage was quite large this year
and there will be not only plenty of
wheat for home consumption, but con-
siderable surplus for sale. The thresher
returns from Kansas, as far as received,
indicate an average yield of twenty-five
bushels to the acre, though the estima-
ted average-guess works put at lit
tie less than twenty bushels.

The talk among the farmers of hold
ing back their wheat for decent price
is received by the spectators and
boards of trade with a cry of corner and
trust. There is no corner or trust about it.
If the farmers can hold their grain long
enough to break up the Chicago Board
of Trade and secure fair price for their
crop, they will benefit themselves and
the entire country. Their efforts in this
direction are most commendable and
will meet with the approval of every
honest man in the country.
