We are unquestionably on the eve Of
a political explosion in Kansas. The
Peoples party can't stand the strain put
upon them by their southern brethren,
the palpable deception that has been
practiced, and they are leaving the or
ganized delusion in droves all over the
state. And not only so, but realizing
that the deception has been practiced as
long as it can be and that the former
Republican Populites are onto their
racket, the Democrats are ready to let
60 all together and scramble back into
the Democratic party at the signal, to be
given from Topeka this week. This split
and disappearance of the Populite party
has been looked for and predicted all
along: utilization and cooperation be-
tween two factions as radically opposite
in principle and conviction as these, is
simply impossible, and every attempt to
effect such thing must fail. As well
try to mix oil and water.

Therefore we wish now to say to the
brave Democratic boys. who will meet
in Topeka on the It'll inst, that We will
greet them with cordial hand and a
loyal heart. We say to them to be of
good cheer, and whatever may be the
action of that meeting we feel that the
result of their deliberations will be reach

have no fears that its councils will be
marred by the harsh voice of calamity,

George w. Maffett. editor, and Lizzie
K. Maffett, associate editor, last week
retired from tie management and con-
troll of the Anthony Republican. No
editor in Kansas ever struck more fear
less blows in defense of good govern
ment and the right than George w.
Maifett, and 10 paper in Kansas attain
ed more widespread popularity for its
work, or made more bitter enemies of
its opponents. Brilliant and logical, it
was quoted everywhere. and the loss of
Mr.. and Mrs. Maffett will be Sadly felt
by the craft in southern kansas.-Kiowa

1t is unnecessary to add anything to
this appreciative leave-taking of Editor
Maffelt and his brilliant wife; but the
Capital sincerely endorses every word
of it. George Maffetts paper has been
a power for law, good morals and good
politics. and we regret that i'll health
demands his retirement

Now by all the saints the work goes

Now by all the saints the work goes
bravely on! The Topeka Democrat, the
official organ of the state fusion COM
mittee, pulls down the state ticket of
the combination and announces that is
henceforth Democratic, pure and simple.
What happy moment it must have
been to Col. Whoop Tomlinson, the
Democrats former editor, who with
drew from the paper when it followed
the spoiis-hunting leaders into the camp
of the party's enemy, the Populite
party, when he learned Of the prodigals
return. We almost envy the reunited
companions of the exquisite felicity they
experience.

& number of local Democrats collect
ed, casually. on Main street Sunday
afternoon and the conversation that en-
sued gradually drifted to politics. One
of the number. as if to challenge the
opinions of the others, offered to wager
that Smiths majority for governor will
not be less than 10000. No one accept
ed the challenge, but the consensus of
opinion expressed was that "Lewelling
is not in it" This is not Republican
campaign guess work, mind you, but
the deliberate opinion Of Democrats,
who were not talking for publication.

A Little Campaign Poem.

: w. F. Craig Of the Kansas City Journal
Prince Jim went down to Dixie's land,
And with him Mrs. Lease;
They went to bridge the chasm and
Proclaim blessed peace.
Alas, alas! Though both were brave,
They soon took TO their legs;
How could they olive branches wave
While lodging rotten eggs?
The prince now pulls his hair about
In sorrow and in pain;
Until he gets the egg shells out
He'll never smile again.

serious mistake in causing the arrest of

81. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 6.--The faithful
title wife of Ed. I. holland, the for
ner State Treasurer of Missouri, who
ell into bad company, got to playing
aQker and embezzled money from the
State is in fair way TO get him par
aoned, although he has boon in the
penitentiary only few months She
lived in luxury while he was the treas
urer of the State. Now she keeps a
boarding house here and does the
homework herself She has been
moving heaven and earth to get him
pardoned before Gov. Francis goes out
of Office, and it is generally under
stood that he will do this, possibly az
one of the Christmas pardons which
are his prerogative.
The business men of st. Louis are in
high spirits. 1t has never been SO
easy TO make money as now. The
bank elearanccs during the past week
exceeded by over $4,000, 900 those OF
any previous week in the city's his
tory, and the receipts of the custom
house for last month were more by II
per cent than those of the same month
last year. Phis prosperity has di-
rect effect on the man of small means,
who wants to build home for bis
family and is hunting for cheap
money, as well as on the protector of
big street railway and suburb-building
ing enterprises, who gets his money by
the hundreds of thousand dollars.
Eight per cent. is regarded as re-
markedly high rate of interest here.
The St. Louis Asylum for the Blind,
whence, BY the way, some of the most
useful inventions for the use of the
blind ever perfected have come, is to
be moved. The asylum was estab-
lished where it now stands years ago,
when the property in the neighbor-
hood could be had for little, the city
not building that way very fast Now,
rapid cars run past and factories have
grown up all around it, until the land
and the buildings are worth several
times more than they cost the State.
The institution will be taken to a
quiet place in the suburbs, and tho
ground and improvements will be sold
for more than enough to pay for the
new site and buildings.
well, how do you like St. LOUISE"
was asked, as usual, of a clever woman
from Boston, who had just joined a
fashionable West End church, follow
ing her husbands business fortunes.
II think l shall like it very much, ("
she answered with smile, when it is
finished.
She then explained that the day be-
fore she had been out driving over the
city and she had never got out of sight
of new buildings This is the thing
about St. Louis that strikes most visit
ors. The report of the Building Com.
missioner for this year will astonish
the people of cities that have stopped
growing. To say nothing of the thou.
sands of dwelling houses that are going
up, there are now twenty-six large
Office buildings being erected at an ag-
gregate cost of $14, 100000 Each one
of these buildings is small town in
itself, story on story, hundreds Of
offices, and scores of employees to look
after the property.

UNITED STATES NAVY.
Great Progress Shown by the Annual Re
port of Secretary Tracy.

port of Secretary Tracy.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. l3. - Secretary
Tracy, in his annual report, sets forth
the fact that when the present admin.
istration came in, March, 1889, besides
old and obsolete wooden ships only
three modern war vessels were in com
mission. During the administration
nineteen new vessels, with an aggre-
gate tonnage Of 81. S32 TONS mounting
two l2-inch, six 10-inch, sixteen S-inch
and eighty-two G-inch guns, have been
added, all of which, with the exception
of five of the earliest have been man
ufactured in this country.
Three new steel tugs have also been
constructed and put in service. There
is in progress of construction eighteen
vessels, certain to be completed
should armor she delivered within the
next year, of aggregate tonnage of
SO, 800 tons and mounting altogether
twelve l3-inch, SIX 12-inch. sixteen
10-inch, thirty S-inch, thlrty-two g.
inch, thirty-eight 5-inch and thirty
four 4-inch guns, all of which have
been or are to be manufactured in
this country.
Development the past four years
has not been confined to ships alone.
At the beginning of this administra-
ton, says the secretary, the naval es-
Enlistment was entirely destitute of
certain elements of efficiency, each of
which was indispensable to its practic-
al employment as fighting force, and
the absence of which, even if it had
been possessed of hundred ships,
would still have left it in condition
of paralysis. These were armor, tor
pedoes, heavy rapid firing guns,
armor-piercing shells smokeless
powder and high explosives.
The secretary details at length the
noteworthy progress in the production
of these things, and says the progress
noted, by which the United states has
emerged from its condition of help
lessness at sea, and by the employ
ment of it's own resources has dis
taIced its most experienced competi-
tors, marks an epoch in the naval de-
velopmcnt not only of this country,
but of the world.
