On Sept. 10, 1891, d certain gentleman

In the face of such open opposition from
the leaders of his own party and the
more powerful opposition interposed by
Major Mckinley, It would seem like very
folly for Campbell to longer pursue the
campaign. The secret of this opposition
from CampbelIs own party is found in
the free coinage plank in the party's
state platform. Governor Campbell at

party will be held to it.

The champions of prohibition are
quoting the statistical statement of the
census bureau showing the relative ex-
penses of ten cities for maintaining mu-
nicipal government, wherein Topeka is
shown TO have the smallest expenditure,
and they quote this as proof Of the eff
cacy and effectiveness of prohibition as
an economic system. But here comes
the Topeka Democrat and spells the
pretty picture by stating that that city
ran $50. 900 behind in its expense &C
count, and by inference, that only the
amount actually paid out was counted in
the expense account. If that Is true it
takes the bede Of the Prohibs' boast.

Next to the facI that there is a strong
and growing demand from across the
sea fol American breadS,uff, the most
gratifying feature of the situation, from
a purely selfish standpoint, is the fact
that wheat -four is preferred. for the rea-
son that Ii Is regarded as superior to the
products of their home mills. and besides
the price Is so low that it does not psy
he home mills over there to import
American wheat for milling purposes.
This preference for our -four makes in
creased demands upon our mills and
gives employment 10 more people here,
while our mill owners and operators also
get part of the benefits accruing TO the
manufacture of the raw material, wheat,
into -four.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.

Beyond a doubt, the Sunday question
of what man shall do on the Sabbath
day, or what he shall not do, is spread
ing over the entire country and becom-
ing an issue of immediate interest to the
public. To the long agitation of the
matter in the larger cities, is now added
the summary action of the city govern
ment in Baltimore, last Sunday; the
promised inhibitions at Pittsburg day
after tomorrow, aud the question of
opening the worlds fair on Sunday
which has just received an unfavorable
set of resolutions from the Methodist
council There is an honest difference
OF opinion on the matter of Sunday OBJ
servance, of course. Yet. if there was
no Sabbath existing as divine institu-
ton. the spiritual life would have to or
dain one for itself, so essential is il.
And it would be quite impossible to tell
the value. the bleSsedness of this day 10
the devout soul. standing, as it does, a
witness for God, telling US every week
of our spiritual destiny, reminding Us of
our risen Savior and of our union with
the faithful in ell ages, bringing with it
a thousand halo ed associations, and
being foretaste of eternal glory.

Frank Stockton says he likes his
"Rudder Grange" better than any of his
other books. Stockton is a real student
of humanity. He Twins with a sharp
pen. Speaking of his favorlte child he
says. almost all the characters in
'Rudder Grange are from real life. In
deed, a few people who fancy they are
the originals have taken umbrage and
written to me about it; notably the
boarder who joined them on the house
boat; he was not at all pleased. As a
rule, however, do not sketch from life.

FALSE ISSUES.

Wichita is in favor of resubmission.
Nobody pretends to deny that fact.
Sedgwick county as whole would prob
ably favor another vote on that question.
1t is quite likely that this city and coun-
ty will in the event of a constitutional
convention elect delegates instructed
against prohibition. But the Democrats
can't make whisky fight of the present
campaign. There is no resubmission in
it. There is neither high license or
low license, neither beer or police
commission in it, and such
issues cannot be forced simply because
everybody knows that next year the
state is to vote directly on the question
of new constitution, which, if carried,
will make the prohibition question di-
rect issue before the people. All at
tempts therefore to drag Resubmission
into the present campaign will fail, and
all Democratic appeals to Resubmission
Republicans to vote for the Democratic
nominees, because the Democratic nomi-
nees are for whisky or because the Re-
publican nominees are. not is
pure waste of wind which
will fail of fooling:any intelligent man.
The truth is the bosses of the little
Democratic ring of this city know that
their only chance Of electing their tools
is by fooling Republicans with some
trumped-up issue or bug-bear cry. Hav-
ing succeeded in few instances in the
past by such a course, and by taking adj
vantage of distractions in the Republi-
can ranks, they naturally look to the
same means again But it won't work
this fall. There are no dissentions in the
Republican ranks over any question.
The great body of the party simply
want good, capable men whose
Republicanism cannot be questioned.
These are found on the Republican
ticket. If the rings court house pets
were all saints, and the Alliance ducks
all angels, the honest, solid and compe-
tent men nominated by the Republican
convention would be entitled to every
Republican vote in the county which
Republican vote is majority of all the
votes in the county.

The Sabbatarian society at Pittsburg
announces a determination to begin open
warfare upon Sunday newspapers next
Sunday morning by causing the arrest
of all persons in any way connected with
the publication and delivery Of such
newspapers. There seems to be deter
mination on the part of a certain set of
people to pursue something they know
little or nothing about, else they are in
spired more by cussedness than by de-
sire to do society real good. If the
attempt is made as threatened the news
paper men of that city will be fully
justified in retaliating by causing
the arrest of every minister who
attempts to preach, and every
hired chorister and organist who
attempts to sing and play for public
religious services, and every form and
species of service that calls for physical
exertion on the part of person or beast
of burthen. The plea of public necessity
car be plead in extenuation of no other
form of labor or service with greater
pertinence or force than for the Sunday
morning newspaper.

Singular Things That Occur.
From the Kansas City Gs1srts.
A strong sentiment is growing up in
Pennsylvania ia favor Of the nomination
of General Frank Reeder for governor az
the next state election. General Reeder
has a wide following in the Republican
dar,y as a rising young politician. With
Geary territorial governor OF Kansas,
serving two terms Afterwards - gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, il would Be
singular circumstance if the son Of tho
first territorial governor Of Kansas should
also become governor 81 Pennsylvania.

A THRIFTY CONGRESSMAN.

From the Topeka Capital.
Hon. Jerry Simpson, NJ. c., is thrifty.
On the top of So, 600 crop of corn and
wheat-which he stated to the writer
would be the results of his harvests this
year-his Alliance hook caught $1,000
sucker by way of congressional salary,
and over and above this income he
charges from $50 to 500 for every
speech made, something novel as be-
tween a congressman and his consti-
tuents. Jerry's total receipts from these
three sources per week may be estimated
as follows:
BY congressional salary. S GO Is
By harvests, corn and wheat........ 81 50
BY speeches to constituents -four per
week. .--...........-..'..'''' ~ W
Total. ....................... 5 $50 81
1t will thus be seen that Jerry receives
per week not far from as much as he
has hitherto been unable to earn per
annum. But this is not all. Our thrifty
statesman has an eye out for the main
chance in small trades and bargains.
How much he has been able to make by
these expedients is IN both senses a
matter of speculation. One little deal
of this kind is mentioned by the Logan
Republican,:
A strange young man arrived IN this city
the first of last week and engaged board At
the hotel for a month. He came here on
horseback, hut Immediately disposed OF
his horse TO Jerry Simpson for watch and
s., after which he hired a horse and cart
from A N. Msnville to 90 TO Edmond and
back, but he has not returned On We'd
uesday a man from south Of Hill City
came here and claimed the horse traded 10
Simpson, it being stolen animal He left
the information that the young man was
just out of the penitentiary, but IL seems
a. though he has not reformed. Manyilie
left Tuesday in pursuit VI him, but up TO
date has not returned.
Judge Peters, Simpsons predecessor
from the Seventh district, resigned the
Office because of the insufhclency Of the
salary, but Judge Peters never charged
his constitute ats for speaking 20 them
and was no hand at trading watches and
jack-knives. In this particular Jerry Is
a much ADLER man than Judge Peters.

The Sabbataran society at Pittsburg
has leveled It's lance at the Sunday news
paper. There is more strength in a
Sunday newspaper than the white parch-
ment and the black pigment shows, and
about the first time the Sabbatarian So
ciety discovers its lance turned into a
pigmy's straw, 1t will begin to realize it.
