west" said a well-known wholesale
merchant. lone of the chief drawbacks
in the way of establishing closer trade
relations between Galveston and the
western states has been the unjust dis
elimination against Galveston made by
the railroads. Such of that trade as Is
naturally tributary To Galveston, and
most of ii Is, has been driven elsewhere

We have given proof time and time
again that in some lines we can undersell
any market west Of New York. and that
we can come very near duplicating

The Anderson county Alliance in
structed the member Of the Legislature
from that county to vote for PETER for
senator, and then elected a committee Of
five to go to Topeka and see that the in
structions are carried out. And right
there is where the Anderson county ALI
ance fell down. They should have ap-
pointed a second committee to watch the
first. and a third-and so, on ad infini-
tum, until every member was delegated
to go TO Topeka on the mission named.
1t is this halfway work that will do up,
or rather undo, the party yet.

Whatever may be the wisdom or the IN
wisdom of free coinage, Il Is noteworthy
that the brains OF the United States SEN
ate voted agajust-Aldrich, Allison, Cal
ION. Edmunds, Evarts, Frye, Hale Haw-
lev. Hoar. McMillin, Sawyer, Sherman
Washburn. Wilson Of Iowa-all men of
long public service and Of universally
recognized capacity. Republican.
Nobody questions the breadth of brain
of the men named in the foregoing, but
1t is fortunate circumstance for the
country that all the brains in the senate
is not concentrated in their craniums.
At any rate there are some people who
have notion that the two Kansas sena-
tors have a fair share of grey matter. 10
say nothing Of the other Republican SEN
ators Of the west. and mayhap moiety
to some from the south. A person, in
stating fact or condition ought not to
permit prejudice 20 wholly suppiant
truth and common sense, TO the detri-
ment OF his own.

FRANCE, SILVER AND PROSPERITY.

From the Topeka Democrat.
In France the circulation of money per
capita is about $40.
The other day France saved the world
from panic by loaning the Bank OF
England Ga, 100000.
Speaking of France reminds us that
she gave England her magma charta
by whipping King John so badly that he
was obliged to return to England with
out an army, thus enabling the barons
to rise.
France gave us La Fayette and Ro-
chambeau.
France built the Suez canal; sunk $780,
O00, 900 in the Panama scheme; paid
Germany a war indemnity OF over ST.
O0O. 900, 900, and yet she is the richest
nation on the face of the earth today, or,
at least, has the greatest reserve
strength, and is in the most prosperous
condition.
Why?
France has $40 per capita circulation,
and uses the largest amount OF silver OF
any nation in the world.
There is a moral in all this.

BALLOT REFORM.

The Ballot Reform ASSOCIATION OF
Chicago, has completed the election bill
which it will ask the Illinois Legislature
to adopt. 1t follows closely after the
Minnesota law. which was regarded as
the most effectual of any of the laws
passed upon the subject. The Missouri
law is said to be practically imperative,
and the New York law departs too
widely from the idea of true reform to
be acceptable The Illinois bill provides
for three seperate ballots designated for
state, county and city candidates re-
spectively, by white, blue and red.
These three ballots are to be deposited in
as many booths painted in corresponding
colors. All the essential features Of the
Australian system are retained in the

The selection of Uncle Dick" Oglesby
rs the Republican candidate for the
United States senate from Illinois, TO sue

the strongest that could have been made.
He is strong man intellectually and
morally. When Carter Harrison. 1.-THE
best mayor Chicago ever had, to use his
own declaration, was nominated for gov

great many people conceded his election,
but when the Republicans named Uncle

changed, the Chicago Times virtually
giving up the fight at once. Governor
Oglesby is getting TO be quite an old
man. but he Is good for a term in the
