In Major McKinley's great speech &C
cepting the nomination for governor of
Ohio we find this declaration: 1.-The
Republican party can never consent
to an irredeemable currency, whether
issued by state or national authority.
1t will maintain the public faith and the
public honor, and its face will be set
against debased coin and deprecated
currency now as heretofore" If the
learned and able statesman had left of
the remark about ''a debased coin" every
Republican throughout the land would
respond with hearty amen: but there
are multitudes who will not endorse the
covert stab at silver, the peoples money,
which if it has been done was by formal
act of the law making department of the
government. Such declarations will not
help those who make use of them nor
the cause they are accredited to repre-

A party living west of Salina has just
mortgaged 1900 bushels OF wheat for
$1,000. The Salina News says this shows
the strength of wheat if nothing else and
indicates belief among monied men
that wheat will be ruler in the money
this year; but to our mind it shows
rather weakness, either in the conf
dence of the party who raised the wheat
or in the financial condition. The only
thing that will keep the price of wheat
below 81 will be lack of sufficient
money to handle the crop.

A large field of rice is now growing
near Alvin, Texas, on the line of the
Santa Fe road between Galveston and
Houston. The sod was broken this year.
The crop is irrigated by means of an ar
tesian well. The Galveston News says
the result of this experiment is looked
forward to as a probable demonstration
of valuable use which may bring
thousands of acres under cultivation an
other year. The success Of the expert
ment will be a fortuitous event for a
wide scope of country in that vicinity.
A trip to Galveston over the Santa Fe
discloses the fact that for miles out
from the gulf not sprig of a crop of
any kind is produced. If this immense
area can be made to produce rice it will
become valuable instead of worse than
valueless as it has been considered here
tofore.

man on the new private land court az the
handsome salary of s., 900 year and ex-

senator to I'LL a vacancy in ISIS He was

Two weeks ago we mentioned the fact
that President Harrison had offered AL
bert A. Horton, chief justice of the SUI
preme court of Kansas, a position on the
United States land court and that the Re
publican politicians were aroused over the
matter because they feared they could not
elect his successor, their opposition pre-
vailed, and Judge II. G. Sluss of Wichita,
has been appointed Sluss has the reputa-
ton of being good lawyer, but he cares
a great deal more for Slusses pocletbook
than he does for justice. 1t will be re-

resigned the position of judge of the dis
trict court to accept a retainer from the
Frisco Railroad company. He is corpor-
alton attorney and no doubt is perfectly
satisfactory to the administration.

Sluss, of Wichita, as a member of the new
land claim court, instead of Chief Horton,
is very satisfactory deal all round. 1t
relieves the state of an annoying expen-

phrey of the embarrassment of making
difficult appointment, il relieves Judge
Horton of the harsh criticism that would
have befallen him had he accepted, it re-
lieves the president of the complaints
that would have been made against him
for stirring up all the trouble, and it con-
fers well deserved honor upon modest,

$50 That the appointment of Judge
Sluss came in the nature OF a surprise to
nearly every one about political head
quarters is true, Notwithstanding the
assertions to the contrary of some who
have wise way of saying nothing and
nection with the judgeship was entirely
honorable; he was not an applicant for the
position, but when semi-ofhcially asked
from Washington if he would accept be
of course indicated that the compliment
would not be thrown away. Here the
matter, so far as Judge Horton was con-
cerned, ended. but it is true that within a
short time before the appointment OF
Judpe Sluss was made, Judge Horton
thought the honor would fall 70 him.

Here's our congratulations to Henry c:
Sluss, Wichita, the state of Kansas, but
more especially to the litigants in the
court to which he is appointed: We have
never been of those who howled because
Kansas had been ignored by President
Harrison. We believe that the state has
Jared reasonably well in appointees--such
as they were-but the selection of Judge
Sluss comes with peculiar qualifications to
the large number of Republicans in the
state who do not measure the success or
failure of an administration by the num-
Der of fellows who may or may not get
fat places under it. There has not in
years been so good an appoin tment in
Kansas as that Of Henry c. Sluss as Judge
of the court of Spanish claims.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Robbed on the Highway.

Mr.. John w. Childs, an old and re-
spected citizen of Washington County,
visited Burdette recently on business.
This transacted, and it being late, he
was compelled to seek lodging. Forget
ting that there was boardinghouse at
Burdette, he set out on foot for LiV-
ingston, three miles distant. About
o'clock, while almost midway between
the two towns, three negro highway
men, heavily armed, confronted him
and ordered him to strip. Forced to
comply, his clothes were carefully
searched, contents distracted and gar
ments returned to him. Their booty
consisted Of a pocket knife, tobacco,
So so in cash and check for SO. The
robbers, not satisfied with the tribute
paid by Mr.. Childs, insisted that they
were gentlemen and must be so ad-
dressed. This claim was enforced by
violent oaths and filthy epithets. Gen
tlemen," replied the hoary-headed man
of sixty odd years, ''you have all my
money; what more can you expect?''
Mr.. Childs was then allowed to go with
his life.

A wrestIe with a Burglar.

HOLLY SPRINGS, Jan. About 12
o'clock last night bold negro burglar
entered the house of Mr.. Jack johnson,
through window, into the bedroom,
where Mr.. and Mrs. johnson were sound
asleep, and deliberately walked to the
chair on which Mr.. Johnson's clothes
were, and, drawing up rocking-chair
took his seat and began to search the
pockets. At this moment the loud
breathing of one of the children aroused
Mrs. johnson. When she started to get
up, the dim light from the nursery,
which shone into her room, revealed the
movement of Mr.. Johnson's shirt on the
chair. Her first thought was that one
of the children was walking in its sleep,
and, fearing she would frighten it, she
walked stealthily to the chair and laid
her hands on the STOPPING object in the
chair. Horrors! A great tall, black
negro rose up. Terrified, she shrieked
murder. This awolle Mr.. Johnson, who
sprang upon the villain as he rushed by
the bed. Mr.. Johnson did not get a
good hold upon him, but clung to him
through the nursery, and held on even
through the window, but once on the
porch the negro made his escape, and
that without being identified.
