Fusion in Kansas Certain.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 3.-That there will
be some kind of fusion between the peoples
and democratic parties Of Kansas there is no
longer much doubt. The two parties have
10000 majority if they can get together.
There may be a failure to combine on state
offices, but it is certain that a fusion will be
effected on congressman and members of the
Legislature. The republicans will choose del
egates to the national convention May 5 at
Hutchinson. The Kansas delegation will
be instructed for Harrison. The democratic
convention will meet April "a at Salina, when
a solid Cleveland delegation will be selected.
The peoples party leaders talk Weaver and
Polk for their presidential ticket and will in
struct delegates to the Omaha convention
accordingly.

Not Summarizing Home Industries.

Fusion.

The following is clipped from the st.
Paul Globe (dem.) 1t is reported that
in the interest OF good government the
independents will work with the repub-
licans In the city elections Of st. Paul.
Very similar extracts might be taken
from republican papers in other sections.
Fear prompts their reports:
"The so-called independent party first
determined to hold a1oft from either OF
the two great political parties, hoping
to draw within its fold the disgruntled
democrats and republicans. They have
discovered that there are not sufficient
to enable them to make any showing at
the polls. and now overtures are being
made with the republicans. By the
p ramt en viii ii'y he ea@P disap 's an, n a P.i0 the

The Episcopal Church.


For a long time there has been a little
hard feeling existing in the inner circles
OF this church, chiefly, over the ques-
tiou OF pastor. A minority of the
vestry favor getting a permanent pas
tor, while a majority feel disposed to be
content in the meantime at least with
Mr.. Ware, who is rural dean OF the do
cese. A vestry meeting was held lately
when it leaked out that certain men,
bers would positively not contribute
towards having MI. Ware of1iclate after
a certain time. The whole unpleasant
is said to have resulted from a
rather independent spirited sermon
which Mr. Ware preached several,months
ago. supposed to have been directed at
prominent members OF the church. In
the meantime Emmanuel church remains
without q pastor. =.

The Democatic Club.

The meeting Of the young mems Dem
ocratic club, Tuesday evening, was not
a decided success. The attendance and
enthusiasm wure both slim: The
strength Of both the Republican and
Democratic parties has dwlndled to the
cities. In the country precincts they
can scarcely find the timber out Of which
to make committee men. This effort OF
our democratic friends to rally their
scattered forces is on a par with the Or
g%anization efrepublican leagues attempt
ed a year or SO ago, After one or two
attempts nothing more was heard on

The Republican Primaries

The Republican Primaries.
Last evening the republicans held
their primaries to elect delegates to the
city convention next Saturday, when
candidates will be nominated for the
different city Offices.
In the first ward there was a strong
desire to appear harmonious. In the
Second a similar desire cropped out.
In the Third, although two tickets were
IN the field, there was still q desire to
show a harmonious outside. In the
Fourth nothing but harmony could
exist. So everything apparently was
harmonious, Notwithstanding there are
three facti ons in the party, the Sawyer,
the M'Gillycuddy and the young repub-
lican, all OF whom hope to succeed.
The following delegates were elected:
First ward-C. w. Brown, A. G. Pat
rick, G, Lenhart, A. X. Thomas, W. H.
Mack, John Cobb, Dan Ferguson, G.S
Clevenger, w. l.. Gardner and F. c.
Foster.
Second ward-D. l.. Herman, Vent
worth Rice, A. l.. Spayde. L. c. Trow-
bridge, j.. H. Vallette, A. L, Overpeck,
Carl Forsha, John H. Fall. Alfred Wells,
William Farrar Sr., Zach Holmes and ].
A. Behrens.
Third ward-W. A. Nicholas, e. D.
Matteson, M. C. Peck, Frank Eaton.
John BEGAN ! y IN, James G. Mears, il
Ingersol, 0. Chase, w. F. Aston, and
George Hacker.
Fourth ward-O. L. Cooper, Dan
Napier, F. e, Gardner, Moses Lamear, f.
C. Fiegel, E. d. Spalding, Marshall Mat
toon, and I. S. Young.
In the third ward the regulation ticket
was knocked out and an u%npledged one
elected.
Taking it all in all the delegates are in
for a new lot OF leaders, so that the
election may be said to have been a
"young republican victory, with Fred
aHolcomb or John II. Fall as possible
nominees. George B. Mansfield is also
mentioned, so are DR.. M'Gillycuddy and
Il. T.. Sawyer. indeed the latterclalms to
have a majority OF the delegates, but a
close scrutiny OF the four tickets reveal
about eleven friendly to him, the same
number to M'Glllycuddy and the bal
ance to the ''young bloods."
For some unaccountable reason mos9
of the republican possibilities are mel
who fear Mayor Woode. One republic
an, to the certain knowledge OF thu
UNION man would actually make thu
race, did he know that mir. Woods
would not run.

Banking Law Declared Unconstitutional.

Banking Law Declared Unconstitutional.
A Pierre special to the Sioux City Journal
says that Judge Carson has handed down his
decision in the case Of the State, plaintiff in
error, VS.. First National Bank of Clark, which
reads: this case involved the constitutional
ity of the bank law. The court held that
banking, aside from issuing demand notes to
circulate as money, is not a franchise and the
legislature could not make it so. The legis-
lature has no power to deny the right to loan
money or receive deposits and to confer such
right or privilege OH corporations. 1t may regu
late the exercise of such right and the conGuc.
Of such business, whether carried Oh by an n
individual or by a corporation, but cannot
prohibit an individual citizen from engaging
in and conducting such business as long as he
is willing and does conform to such regulations
with reference to the condnct Of such business
as the Legislature may .imposefor tkcprotection
of the public. The defendent is an individual
banker, and the law is. held invalid as to lin.
Its validity as to banking corporations here
