Has Harrison q Chance,

President Harrison thinks he has an ex-
cellent chance for a denomination. but none
of the republican leaders do. 1t is a pretty
difficult matter to find a senator or repre-
sentative who favors his nomination, and
there does not seem to be an overwhelming
demand for il in any part of the country.
The fact is the republicans have no par
ticular candidate in view for President.
Quite a number OF their leaders are spoken
of in connection with the presidency, but
there are objections to each one of them.
Blaine seems to have lost his vigor and
brilliancy. His friends are worried about
him He does not take the interest
in life he did few years
ago. He rather avoids his old
friends, and though he promises them much,
he does very little for them. 1t may be that
he cannot do great deal. The President
is jealous of him, and does not allow him
much discretion in making appointments.
1t is even said the President claims the
credit for the reciprocity provision in the
Mckinley tariff. He did not make such
claim. however, until the popularity of
reciprocity was beyond question.
Mckinley, Reed and others have a follow
ing, but no one of them is thought of seri-
ously as the republican standard-bearer for
1892. The President understands that there
is no man in his party who has a great fol-
lowing, and that is the reason, perhaps, why
he is hopeful Of a denomination.
1t is said that he makes it point not to
grant favors to senator's and rep
resentatives. He wants to have
the impression get abroad that
he places very little confidence in the politi-
claus, and docs not expect much from them.
He talks to all who call upon him about his
administration and the great things it has
accomplished He may believe what he
says in this respect, but he will have hard
time to make even his own party believe
that his administration has been even a
moderately successful one.
But he has a chance for a denomination.
His party may be compelled to take him
for the want of some one who can arouse
enthusiasm in its ranks. The office-holders
will be for the President. not only for what
they owe him, but for what they would ex-
pect Of him. And there being no vigorous
efforts in behalf Of any one else, the office
holders may succeed in naming majority
Of the delegates to the national conVen-
tion.

Troubles of Kansas Farmers.

The farmers legislature of Kansas is
making trouble for the farmers of that
state, though it doesn't Intend to do any
thing of that kind. 1t is pretty well under
stood that nearly all the farms of Kansas
are mortgaged, and the mortgages bear a
pretty heavy rate of interest. The legis-
lature has been doing what it could to help
the farmers carry their burden of mort
cages. Among other things it has passed
resolution directing the Kansas representa-
tives and senator's in congress to vote for
free silver coinage. 1t was thought that, If
the coinage of silver should be made free,
the basis of the currency would soon become
silver, and in that event the farmers would
be able to pay off their mortgages with
money worth only about seventy.five cents
on the dollar.
No sooner had the silver resolution passed
the legislature, however, than the loan
agencies began calling In their loans. In
all parts of the state the farmers were mott
fed that their mortgage notes would not
be renewed-that they must be paid at
maturity. These notices alarmed the
farmers, because they saw no chance for
getting the money with which to meet their
obligations
Their hearts were gladdened, however, by
the appearance Of representatives of other
loan agencies who promised to loan them
money at the same rate of interest they had
been paying. They promptly accepted the
offer and a great many have already cancelled
the old mortgages and given new Ones They
were so glad to get out Of what threatened
to be very unpleasant situation that they
did not read the new notes carefully.
They wish now that they had not been so
hasty in their action. The now notes in
| each instance are contracts for the pay
ment Of the principal and interest of them
in gold. If the free silver coinage bill
should become a law, therefore. the chances
are that they would have to buy gold at a
premium Of from 20 to 25 per cent. to pay
their mortgage obligations.
| They do not, of course, like the situation
| in which they have placed themselves, but
they will have to be consoled by the fact
that they could not have done any better.
Those who have money to lend are not
| going to take the chances of getting back
only three quarters of it if they can help it.
After all, free coinage might not be such q
good thing for the debtor class.
