From the Topeka Lance.


Something has broken the spirit of
Marshall NJ. Murdock. of Wichita, who.
erstwhile, was a Tantankerous and
vehement advocate of. war for right.
Having been suggested as a probable
candidate for governor, next year, Mr..
Murdock- comes out in his paper, the
Wichita EAGLE, tamely submitting to
what he deems the inevitable, and saving
that the old crowd, the baracles, will
nominate the next candidate for gov
ernor from their own number, ami that
an outsider has no chance. If every
other Republican entertained these
opinions, it is absolutely GER
tain that the prophecy of Mr.. Murdock
would be fulfilled. But they do not
There has grown up in Kansas party
of Liberal Republicans generally
known as the young crowd-that is de-
termined that the boodler, the barnacles
and the boobies shall be retired from
offices of honor and trust, and if there is
any virtue in fighting, they will succeed.
Mr.. Murdock should not be so percipisous
in abandoning the fight, or so faint
hearted about the result. The ship shall
not be given up.

THE FRENCH MEAT DUTY.

The imposition of duty of twenty
five francs npon American meats will
prove almost as effective an embargo
upon the importation of such productsin to
that country as did the prohibitory law
recently suspended. And while it will
interfere very much with the trade of
the United States with France it will
prove a greater hardship upon the peo-
pie of that country who are dependant
largely upon this country for their
meats. The imposition of so high duty
cannot be designed as policy of pro-
lection to the live stock interest over
there. because under present conditions
they connot produce enough to supply
the ordinary demands therefor. The
duty must be laid, therefore, for revenue
purposes, and if for this, it indicates that
the government is under financial stress
and embarrassment Duties are not laid
by governments upon the necessaries of
its own people except for the protection
of its own industries, unless demanded
by the governments necessities. In the
case in question the French people are
as the ones entitled to sympathy.

Intelligence received at Washington
City from Brazil gives emphatic denial
of any disorder in the republic that ap-
proaches or has any semblance of a
revolution. On the contrary everything
that comes here from the South American
continent by way of London savors
strongly of revolution, not omitting to
mention an alleged feeling of antipathy
on the part of the South Americans to-
wards the United States. The method
employed in giving out that sort of
news and the persistancy with which it
is kept up can only be taken as evidence
of desire, somewhere, to bring about a
condition of affairs such as is alleged to
exist, especially as touching the friendly
relations between the American repub-
lies. England flatters herself that she
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose from a rupture between the
Americas, but if such thing shoul doc
cur she would learn her mistake on this
point. England would be a greater
sufferer, in business way, from a dis
turbance over here than we would.

We will now see who is superior in
Florida, the state supreme court or the
secretary of state. The latter said he
would not sign and affix the seal of the
the state to the credentials of the
governors appointee to the United States
senate, but the court says he must. 1t
will be remembered that the last state
legislature failed to elect a senator to
succeed Call, according to the law there
for provided as it was interpreted by the
governor, and he appointed R. II. III. Dav-
idson. The secretary of state took issne
with the governor on the legality of the
election held by the legislature and
issued credentials to Call who he claim
was elected, though of course the docu-
ment he signed, sealed and issued did not
receive the governors endorsement. But
having affixed the seal of the state to one
certificate the secretary takes the posi-
ton that he is thereby eStopped fro m
signing and sealing another for the same
Office. He will comply with the order of
the court, however, or go to prison for
contempt and lose his Office besides.
Davidson will be the United States sena-
tor from Florida and not Mr.. Call.

important Notice!

There is a general impression
that in order to be close buyer
it is necessary to get the mer-
chant to "Knock OFF, part of the
price. and the greater the amount
knocked off, of the price asked,
the greater the bargain or the
closer the buyer. In the Dry
Goods business ladies do the buy
ing and in many instances they
are not posted on the very lowest
and latest market price-andit it Is
therefore very necessary that
when they invest their money
thoy should know that it is in
vested at the very lowest possible
price. 1t is simply absurd, if
not dishonest, for a merchant to
ask $40 for an item that SIS
would pay for we'll, simply to use
this excess in deceiying the pur-
chaser by pretending to knock
off, s. from the $50 when in re-
ality SIS is a good Legitimate
price. The Arcade believes in
fair dealing and also believes
that straight one-price, where
everything is marked down" and
prices knocked down" before the
customer comes in, is better for
the purchaser than where the trap
is set to catch you if possible.

The Italian papers are boasting that
the United States will pay for the killing
of the Malta assassins at New Orleans.
The United States will do no such thing.
If Italy don't want her murderers killed
let her keep them at home. This is no
country for foreign anarchist and dyna-
miters. 1t has taken a hundred years
and at a tremendous cost of blood and
treasure to found and maintain this the
best government the world ever saw
since the creation, andif it don't suit the
Malta and the anarchists they had better
keep out of it. The people of every
cline and kindred are welcomed to our
hospitable shores: welcomed to a freedom
and to prosperity no other government
on the globe can boast, welcomed to a
country where there are no hereditary
fool rulers, any army backed. .despots; TO a
country where every man stands before
its laws equal TO every other man
but only welcomed as friends not as
enemies plotting to undo all that has
been done and to overthrow the work OF

The Generally Accepted Idea

From the Kansas City Gazette.
Commenting on paragraph from The
Gazette concerning reciprocity with
Mexico the Wichita EAGLE says,
There is nothing truer than the forego-
ing, but just about the time the arrange
ment is consumated look out for some
scheme to be sprung to interrupt it direct
ly, or indirectly by inciting internal dis
sentions in Mexico. Europe will not give
up its hold upon the Central and Sonth
American trade peaceably and without a
struggle Having foothold there it will
not be relinquished without desperate eff
fort to hold 1t.
This seems to be in line with the gen.
orally accepted notions of the country
at large that it is British trade interests
which are working up the troubles in
consequence of the rapid gain of the
United States in commerce with the peo-
pie to the south of US.

A Pointer for Inventors.


One of the great drawbacks to sor-
ghum sugar making is the amount of
capital that must lie idle most of the
year. The necessary machinery is very
costly, and yet there are at the outside
calculation only about sixty days in
which it can be kept in operation. In
the addition to the ordinary expenses of
manufacture, enough profit will have to
be made, before the industry can be said
to be paying its way, to defeat interest
on the capital invested during ten
months of idleness.

Great Country and Great People.


Great Country and Great People.
From the Hutchinson News
What great country this is. Milk
men, day laborers, policemen, lawyers,
preachers, doctors, farmers, bankers and
millionaires occupy seats in the state
legislatures and in congress. A sheriff
is made president of the United States,
occupies chair of the chief executive
with marked satisfaction to his party
and retires to practice law and make
stump speeches just like any other COM
mon American. Another man, now
running a henery and a great poultry
fancier, was once president of the
United States, and the people became SO
familiar with him that they called him
Aunt Nancy. After all we are a great
common people of common country,
with common interests, hopes and aspi-
rations.

There is just one way for the calamity
howlers to renew their vanished lease
upon that portion of the people whose ears
they held for a season, and that is for
them to induce the farmers to borrow
money on their lands, which the recent
Republican victory in the state now en-
abIes them to do, but which favor was
denied them prior to the late election.
If the farmers would mortgage their
lands and then spend their time talking
politics and not plant and cultivate any
crops, they would not be long in getting
in condition to become devotees of the
calamity craze. But it is gratifying to
know that the farmers Of Kansas, in the
main, are too intelligent and well-to-do
to be led into any such scheme. Those
who NAV need accommodations are very
few and they will be controlled by judg-
ment, not sentiment in such transac-
tions.
