THE PRELIMINARY sK1RMrsH.

Harry L. Woods, secretary of the Re-
publican county central committee of
Sumner county, is endeavoring to get
Hon. John j. Ingalls, to Summer county
to deliver an address there before the
campaign closes. In reply to his letter
to the ex-senator on this subject, he re-
ceived letter from ingalls, which con-
tanned the following: Il am glad to
know that the Republicans are at work
with courage and determination. 1t is
the preliminary skirmish in the contest
of 1892, in which the capacity of our
people for self government is to be
finally tested. It is struggle between
the conservative and the destructive
forces in our civilization. l should be
glad to meet our friends in Sumner and
may do so before the campaign closes,
but have so many engagements IN diff
ferent parts of the country in the next
two months that am not able to give
dates now"

The dispatches this morning make
mention of neat little marine coup as
just having been performed by Eng
land in the seizure of an island at the
Mediterranean end of the Dordanelles.
The alleged excuse for this is that the is
land is needed as a coaIing station for
the British Mediterranean fleet, but there
is little doubt that lis real object is to
head off Russia in the latter's attempt to
gain entrance for her war vessels into
the great sea which she has been striving
for for years and which she practically
secured through the recent concessions
granted by the Turkish government. Sir
Charles Dyke, the best posted man in re-
gard to European international affairs,
predicts great upheaval in Europe at
an early day and that Russia will be the
first aggressor and not Germany or
France as is popularity supposed. The
conditions would seem to be inst right
for the outbreak to come at once, and but
for the scarcity of provisions throughout
the hemisphere there is little doubt that
it would come. And in no event can it
be long deferred unless there shall be
a general disarmiug and reduction of the
burdens of the military establishments
among ali the powers.

A CHEERING TOKEN.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
The new banking law which was passed
by the Kansas legislature last winter
goes into effect Sept. 81. Itprovides for
bank examiner, who was appointed
some months ago by Governor Humphrey,
and who has already collected mass of
interesting and significant information
regarding the financial institutions which
come under his supervision. The old
banks are rapidly recognizing under the
new law, and a large number of new
companies have applied for charters. A
notable feature is the large representa-
ton farmers among the stockholders of
the new organizations. In not few in
stances the bulk of the stock is taken by
farmers.
This indicates, Enthusiastically. sub
stantial increase of wealth among the
farmers of Kansas and revival of agri-
cultural prosperity. From this time on
the borrowing class in Kansas will
diminish, and it will not be many years
before it will be unnecessary for persons
who desire to obtain loans TO
60 outside of the state. The pres
ent Indebtedness of the people
of Kansas largely represents lands which
were purchased on credit and improved
with borrowed money. The rapid can
collation. of mortgages which is going on
10 that state is a sure sign that the farm
ers are making Roadway, and If they
continue to discharge their obligations at
the present rate it viii not be long until
thew are out of debt. The profits and
savings of this class of farmers remain
within the state and 60 toward the estab-
lishment of banks for the accommoda-
ton of their neighbors. The outflow of
money from Kansas for the redemption
of securieties held BY eastern capitalists
will be diminished every time a mort
gage is cancelled in the state, and the
available wealth of Kansas Will be cor
respondingly increased. The testimony
of the state bank examiner only confirms
the encouraging reports which have
come from other sources regarding the
financial situation IN Kansas.

Silently, deadly and irresistibly move
these battslions; out of the forest, down,
into, across and up the ditch, through
the bona (wood stockadel, across the
square, and into every nook and Granny
conceivable they swarmed The first
notice (they generally came at night
would be loud yell from some of the
men, "Look osltl SlaiuI" There would
be no more sleep that night.
After experience gained we found it
the best plan to clear out Of our houses,
rush into the square and build rings Of
fire around US. To put on ones clothes
was to get bitten by dozens all over ones
body unless the garments had been first
thoroughly smoked over a fire. Every
now and then yells and curses told how a
lazy one had got caught in his bunk.
The walls of the huts, the roofs and floor
were simply one seething mass Of strug-
Cling ants.
They were after the cockroaches, mice
and insects that had taken up their abode
in the roots. Now and then squeaks Of
young mice told their story. As fast as
the ants found their load, generally q
codkroach, they would make off down
the hill in long lines Luckily they never
touched our granaries; they seemed 70
prefer animal food Toward morning
there would only be few thousand lost
ones, aimlessly tearing about, apparently
looking for the main body which had
just decamped.
Usually these raids on as were made
after rainstorm; many Of them came
into the fort already staggering under
loads; these appeared to wander about
till the others were ready. Next day
not a cockroach could be found in the
place, so that the ants did US service
in Kidding Us Of these pests. The rats
had deca1nped also. and did not return
for some days.-Nineteenth Century.

THE ALLIANCE AND THE SHERIFF..
Atty

Next to the action of Rufus Cone in
going before an Alliance convention
seeking a nomination, the most gally
thing is the growing of the Beacon be-
cause the said Cone was most properly
ignored. This pet and tool of the Demo-
cratic organ who got his present position
largely at the hands of Republicans, and
with whom he did not afterwards keep
faith, had no more political right to go
before the Alliance, whom the Demo-
Gratis have unstintedly abused, than had
Ike Ault or any other Republican. Mr..
Cones little game was long since played
for more than it was worth, and while
he can't fool any Republicans this fall, it
looks as if he had failed to fool the ALI
ance. The Democratic sheriff is every
body's man until he has secured the
Office, after which he knows no interest
than that of his Democratic ring. The
Alliance would have been inconsistent
and untrue to itself had it for a moment
considered the claims of the narrowest
aud blindest Democratic partisan posi-
BILE, whose pretense Of being able to serve
two masters successfully met
with most proper rebuke.
AS for the Beacon and all other Demo-
cratic concerns, from the Democratic
state central committee down, it and
they have been openly declaring for
months that they would have nothing
to do with the Alliance. When the
time came, in spite of the little trade
gone into by the respective bosses last
Wednesday night, the honest men of the
Alliance sat down on the whole outfit
including Mr.. Rufus Cone. Neither have
Democrats forgotten what a square all
around fight the Beacon under its old
management, made for Cone and his
ticket two years ago, and how as soon as
Cone was elected he had another paper
started which backed by an unusual year
of sheriff patronage forced the Beacon
into the hands of the organ backed by
Cone and controlled by the old ring to
which Cone belonged, when the paper
which had been started by them ceased
to exist.

Hurrah for snow.


NOBLE Prentls.
We should learn to give honor where
honor is due, and remember those who
think as well as those who talk. and
here in Kansas not to yield everything
to the supremace of Jaw. The greatest
victory of the year is that of science over
the maraudipg bug and everybody
ought to know it. The world is being
constantly placed under obligation TO
quiet men who study to do il good: and
find out things, like the circulation
of the blood, and vaccination,
and the nature and the use
of chloroform things which
strengthen the healing art and lessen and
abolish suffering, but we turn from such
to throw our hats in the air for man
who is roaring about making the world
over by legislation. But if the writer
can have the floor and get the eye of the
chairman, he would suggest three cheers
for the man who did up the chinch bugs
