Personally, we greatly regret the
defeat of Capt. Slower. He is clean,
capable, high-minded gentleman, who
would have made splendid officer.
We regret his defeat even more, from
a party standpoint, because we did
want to make clean sweep in this
county. But since he had to be de-
feated we are glad that the successful
candidate is Alt. Campbell. Mr..
Campbell is good lawyer, an honest
man, and good fellow" There is
no particle of doubt that every man
in the county who runs dive or who
wants to run a dive, gave him his sup
port. But we hope and believe, that
Mr.. Campbell will shake himself free
from this influence and justify the
hundreds of good men who also sup
ported him, by rigid enforcement of
the law.

But CONTRARY TO ALL OUR
CALCULATIONS THE OTHER
FELLOWS ARE OK Tor.
EVEN KANSAS Is SHAKY
WITH THE CHANCES IN FAVOR
OF THE CoNFUsIoNISTS.
ALLEN co. ALL RIGHT
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
A SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION.
THE NATIONAL ELECTION.

NA y Il r L N.
The returns are net all in yet, but it
is plain that the country has gone
Democratic by overwhelming odds.
Besides the Solid South, Cleveland
has carried New York, Indiana, Il
linois, Wisconsin, part of Michigan
and possibly Ohio and California.
Such an avalanche as that is perfectly
Supplying. Weaver has carried
Nevada, Colorado, and probably Kan
sas and one of the DakOtas.
THE RESULT IN KANSAS.
The Weaver electors have probably
carried the State, and it is possible
that the Republican State ticket is de-
feated. The POpulists have elected
three of their congressman, Hudson
in the Third, Baker in the Sixth and
Jerry Simpson in the Seventh. The
Republicans seem to have carried the
other Districts, although FunstOn's
majority is very small and may pos
sibly be overturned by the official
count. The Republican State Com
mittee claims to have carried a major
ity in both branches of the LegisIa-
ture, but we think this is doubtful.
THE RESULT IN ALLEN COUNTY.
This is sufficiently shown by the
table which we publish this week,
and which, while not official, is sub
stantially correct. The Republicans
have elected their entire ticket with
the exception of I. :. Slower. Re-
turns from Woodson county are not
yet authentic, but it is conceded that
Scott is elected State Senator by
small majority.

ALL TOGETHER.

There is no doubt that the result of
the election, all the way around, is
heavy blow to the Republican party,
and there is nothing To do but sub
side until another time comes and
then pick our flint and try again.
Hurrah for the Grand Old Republican
Party! Hurrah for Harrison and
Reid! Stand up for Kansas!

Third party prohibitionists are a
queer lot. The vote shows that about
seven in nine of them scratched Scott
they scratched man who has fought
whiskey all his life and who they
know would oppose any effort to re-
peal or nullify the law, and they sup
ported a man who has favored whis-
key all his life and who they know
would do all he could to restore the
traffic. If any of them who did this
want space il this paper to explain
the theory on which they acted, it is
at their disposal.

THE SINGLE TAX IDEA
A PLATFORM ADOPTED.
Prospect of Another Factor In tho Poiiti-
cal Problem.

The active agitation in regard to the
question Of taxation has resulted in the forma-
tion of new platform on the subject which
has been signed by number OF influential
men, ns preparatory to q wider circulation
throughout the country. No definite plans
of organization for carrying out the purposes
have yet been decided upon, but Il will doubt
less form the basis of alliance among those op-
posed to the different forms of indirect taxa
tion, either through one Of the existing as
sociations or through n new one to be formed.
The platform Is as follows:
Believing that public attention Is concerned
as never before with the solution OF the social
problems which confronts us, we declare our
adhesion to the following principles; and we
urge upon all American citizens n careful eS-
animation Of them with view to their en-
bodlmcnt in the law:
First-TMcs should be simple Just, definite
and easily collected.
Sccond-They ought not to restrict pro
auction or saving, nor to favor individuals ut
the expense OF the community.
Third--Labor should always be able to find
suitable employment; and for this purpose
only the use Of land is absolutely necessary.
Fourth-A tax on the rental value of land,
exclusive OF improvements, Is direct, cqulta-
bic and certain; IL would encourage produc-
tlon and industry, and hinder the Withholding
oil available land from use 1t would take for
public purposes only the value created by the
public growth, leaving to labor and capital
their full earnings, free from all tax.
THEREFORE, single tax on the rental value
OF land alone is the best possible tax.
A large number of wcll-known single tax
men have signed the document.

THE BERLIN RIOT.
Lack of Work and Lack of Food tho
Causes.

Last Saturday the police Of Berlin
ordered citizens not to lolter Oh the streets.
The order was generally obcyed, although In
one instance, in Roscnthal strassc, working
man, carpenter by trade, asked the police
to arrest him, and said he would do violence
II they did not, On being questioned as to
his reason, he said he had not had anything to
cat, and wished to be imprisoned, us he could
not bear the sight Of his wife and children
starving His story was investigated md
proved to be true. His story Is that thousands
of families are either absolutely starving or
dependent for subsistence on charity.
Misery among the poor this winter has been
greater than at any time for years past The
municipal authorities, following tho lead OF
the burgomastcr, Herr Forkenbeck, have
trusted to repression rather than palliation
for dealing with the desperate and poverty
stricken populacc Relief, when asked for,
has been given grudgingly and men have been
told that II they persisted in applying for
aid they would be sent to the so-callcd tramp
colonies and made TO work us prisoners This
meant separation from wives and children
and the breaking of associations and ties as
dear to the poor as to the rich. The answer
and threat were generally accepted as denial
of relief, and at the last the unemployed gave
up looking TO the local authorities for any aid
yhotevcr.
1t was this frame OF mind that prevailed on
thursday last when someone, probably n
oclalistic agltator, suddenly suggested to a
alf-starvcd, shivcrlng crowd: "Why not ap-
cal To the kaiser! Let us march to the
choloss and ask the father Of the land for
.ork and brcad' "
