panles. Is 1t not brazen proposition to
ask the State Of California to incur an ex-
pense which is of no possible use to our
citizens for railroad company which is uu-
willing TO ray even its proper proportion Of
taxes, but sDeaks away into distant State
in order to escape them? OF course, The
public exrect nothing from the Railroad
Commission nor from the railroad mag
mates, but The Governor should not sanction
such an outlay. There can be no just claim
upon our citizens for this money, which Is
really only designed to benefit Stanford &

TIE SILVER BILL.

The friends Of the Senate silver bill have
agreed to amend the bill in each of the two
points IL which it was considered defective
One amendment especially provides that
the repeal Of the act of 1890 shall not affect
the legal tender quality of the treasury
notes issued in payment OF silver bullion
under that act. and the other gives silver
bullion offered by private parties preference
at the mints over that now in the treasury
This second amendment will only partially
effect its purpose. There is limit TO the
amount Of silver that can be coined, and
while the amount is determined in a meas
ure by the amount Of the appropriations il
is not probable that the current product can
ali be coined. Under the present law
4,500,0C0 ounces Of silver are taken out of
tile market each month. While tile act has
not had the effect to fully sustain the mar
ket price of silver it has so nearly exhausted
the surplus that there is reason TO look for
steady Improvement. The amended bill,
should it pass the House. as it probably
viii, must go TO theSenate before 1t can be
submitted to the President. 1t is very
probable that The Senate viii give the Presi-
dent the trouble Of writing veto message

TIN Plate AND STEEL RAILS.

With that unhappy disregard for facts
that has always been one Of the chief char
aeteristics Of our local Democratic contem-
porary, the assertion is now made that there
are 10 tin-plate manufactures Of any con-
sequence in the United States. Facts to the
contrary do not improve the positiveness of
the assertion. On this point, however, there
is an appeal from the newspapers to statis-
tics Of trade. Ii will be admitted, however,
that the American production is far short of
the demand. In this respect the history of
the building up of the tin-plate industry is
not unlike that of the iron industry. 1t is
not very long since we imported all our
steel rails from Europe. 1t took several
years TO convince free-traders that the du-
ties paid on foreign rails were not dead
loss. But the foreign manufacturers who

not agree on that point with American free
traders

The present promise is that there will be
four electoral tickets in Kansas this year
The Republicans led of with the Harrison
electoral ticket. the Democrats followed
with the Cleveland ticket and the Peoples
party with the Weaver ticket The fourth
is fusion between the Weaver men and
Democrats. But there are few thousand
sturdy Democrats in Kansas who object TO
being transferred bodily TO another PARTY.
So they will nominate straight Cleveland
ticket and 60 down in November with it.
A fusion ticket which gathered in all the
Peoples party and all the Democrats would
probably have carried the State. Bat fusion
tickets never carry the full force OF the par
ties that fuse. There is a type Of voters
