THE Farmers Alliance of Kansas, it
is said, are preparing to put into practice
under private management, the sub
treasury public granary scheme. A far
mer will be allowed to deposit his grain
and will receive negotiable certificates
to the amount of 80 per cent. of his
deposits. The amount of produce de-
posted will be limited only by the
amount of stock the farmer holds in the
enterprise. Trying the plan under pri-
vate enterprise is good policy as far as
the general public is concerned. The
public can see how quickly such fool
scheme will fail and still only the
projectors will be the losers. The ad-
venturers in the enterprise will have less
money in the end, but that loss will be
overtopped by largely augmented sup
ply of the commodity called experience.

A FEW howlers have assumed the
authority to declare that there is great
opposition to the reelection of Senator
Sherman. In order to further give this
pretended dissatisfaction with the course
of the veteran Senator, the appearance
of some magnitude, they declare that
the young men are against him. A
Republican Legislature has not been
elected and will not be until much hard
work is done. Until then, talk of the
candidacy of any man is little pre-
mature. Mr.. Sherman has not expressed
himself as desirous of another term, in
fact all his utterances have been against
further service in the Senate. About
the only young men opposed to him are
the friends of another young man, who
casts longing eyes toward Sherman's
seat in the Senate. After Republican
Legislature is elected, if John Sherman,
the great statesman and financier, de-
sires another term, he will find the young
men loyal to him. Ohio is now repre-
sented in the Senate as she will not be
for long years after Senator Sherman
has retired.

WARNING FROM THE ENEMY.

In the opinion of George L. Converse,
Democratic ex-Congressman, the Dem
ocracy of this State have practically
given up the contest for the Governor
ship, and will make quiet and vigor-
our fight for the Legislature. Mr.. Con-
verse is an admirer of Senator Sherman,
regarding him as the greatest states
man in this country to-day, and speak
ing of his retirement as a national mis-
fortune. He thinks that John R. Nc
Lean, who he says has more money than
he can use, is possessed of an ambition
to become a member of the United
States Senate, and to infinitely increase
his fame and honor in attaining that
high place by defeating man of world
wide repute in the person of SenatorSher-
man. To attain this end he has insti-
gated the fight between Campbell and
Neal, and will lavish his money in close
counties to secure the election of Demo-
CIdJlC lcSloldJOIo. 1HOlO ID d nOlu VI
warning to Republicans in these opin-
ions of Mr.. Converse. With Democrat
ic harmony we were reasonably sure of
electing Major Mckinley. Democratic
division on candidates may produce
apathy, and divert our attention from
the real point of conflict. 1t is even of
more importance that we elect Re-
publican Legislature than Governor. A
Democratic body would carry out the
proposed plan of choosing Presidential
Electors by Congressional districts, and
seriously affect the result in '92. There
should be no trading off by Republicans
this fall, and keen watch should be
kept for the hand of John R. Mclean
in every closely contested county.

THE question of restriction of immi-
grafton is coming to the front with more
and more pertinency. A year ago
through the large falling off in immi-
grafton, it seemed that the question
would prove its own solution. But now
each week witnesses an increase over
the preceding week in the number of
foreigners landed. The numbers of the
swarm now pouring in is frightful to
contemplate. OF this influx nearly all
come tainted with crime, and none pos
sess the traits which make the best
American citizens. Moreover, by far the
major part of this crowd have come to
crowd into the densely populated slums
of the cities, there to complete their ed
ucation in crime if they are not already
graduates in vice. The exigencies of
the case are certainly of sufficient mo-
ment to demand the grayest attention
of those desirous of promoting our
country's welfare. They come to fur
ther congest an already overstocked la
Dor market, and our personal interests
direct that such immigration be rigidly
excluded.
