Commissioner Nesbiit has to say in his
general review ON cotton.
''At no time since the war has the
price of our staple crop, cotton, been so
low. The low price ruling in the market
is, beyond question, due TO over-produc.
ton. Speculation may, at times, have
depressed the market OF given it an I'M
natural impetus, but the surplus remain
ing in the hands of the producer has been
the ruling factor in making prices.
While crops have varied one year to
another, affected by favorable and unfa-
vorable seasons, yet compared by de-
cades the story is one OF increased acre
age and production and decreased pri-
ces."

A Lurid Red.

Last Wednesday night the democrats
of Dawson had a grand jollification in
celebration of CleveIand's victory. The
people paraded the city with blazing
flambeaux, shot crackers. and made the
cannon roar. The city took on a vermil-
ion hue from on end to the other.
While the joyous democrats were
marching around the city they sung the
following song:
I'VE whipped 'em here, we whipped 'em
there,
We whipped en- all about,
We frailed 'em till we nacherly jes' wore
the hickOries out!
We frailed 'em on the hilltops-
We frailed EN- high and low,
SO praise the Lord with one accord,
From whom all blessings fiOw."

State Suparintendent Gaines.

The fusionists of Kansas elected a
man to fill the offic of state superin-
tsndent who was at the time of his
nomination not much known over the
state. A history of the young man,
published in the Western SCHOOL, ournal
shows him just the sort of men who are
true to trusts imposed in them. He
moved with his parents to this state,
Linn county. when eight years old.
His parents returned to Illinois, where
young Gaines remained and when he
was old enough he went to work. He
secured employment on. a farm, work
ing six years for one man.
Mr.. Gaines was married in 1881, and
the same year returned to Kansas set
tleing at La Cygne. His early life was a
struggle. He worked and with his earn
ings secured an education, attending
school after he was married.
Time will demonstrate that the fus-
ionists selected some good men to take
the place of the old crowd. Wichita

its loyal fighters can look to for advice
and council. Republican members elect
of the legislature are seeking in vain
for information as to what is expected
of them Those who were leaders be-
fore the election have crawled into their
holes, and will voucbsafe no assistance
to the men who will be expected to
carry the banner of republicanism
through the coming stormy legislative
session. The vanquished republican
army of 100, 600 men is scattered over
Kansas without general, and for all
practical purposes without AN organ
lzation. 1t acts like big, overbearing
town bully, who for a long period has
ruled by sheer force of brute strength
