THE LOCAL OUTLOOK.

The political canvas, SO far, has beer
confined, almost wholly, to such indi.
vidual and neighborly discussions as
have been brought about and stimulated
by the newspapers. This is certainly true
of Sedgwick county. Outside of few
ward and township meetings there have
been no public demonstrations. And
while in addition there has been no sys-
telnatic poll attempted, Tor other means
resorted to for ascertaining the drift of
sentiment and the lay of the land, it is
already understood and felt, and gener-
ally SO, that SO far as Sedg-
wick county is concerned cal
amity has had its day. The truth is
when you come to pm level headed
Democrat right down to business he will
be fonud to have as little use for the
Peoples party as the average Republi-
can, he seeing clearly enough the long
train of depres6ions and disasters that
must inevitably follow should the legis-
lative affairs of Kansas be placed in the
hands of these incorigibles and malcon-
tents. The average business man, be he
Democrat or Republican, has he'd enough
of shrinkage and of hard times, without
taking the chances of political revolu-
ton wherein stupidity inspired with but
a single idea could only blindly blunder
on to no one knows where.
Times are frightening and there is
once more a foundation for hope, and
there is growing confidence which will
not be scattered to the four winds by the
ballots Of the business men of Kansas,
whatever their politics, or the selfish
jobs of political bosses. So we say that,
SO far as Sedgwick county is concerned,
'land- slide" is not unlikely. Local
pride and party fealty are all right,
everything else being equal, but to
merely please neighbor or some neigh
boris friend men are not going to vote
against their own pockets, and there is
not business man anywhere in Kan
saS who does not know that the
success of the Calamity party means
a depreciation of Kansas securities, the
destruction of Kansas &edit and black
eye to every character of business.
While Democrats may vote the Weaver
ticket because Of a possible
chance Of helping Cleveland, the state
ticket will be elected, and
by the help of Democratic votes, too,
and it ought to be; the legislature will
be a Republican legislature, and it ought
10 be, not only because Kansas can't |
afford another Calamity PETER, but be-
cause of the danger to be apprehended |
from any laws inspired of calamity; and |
the local Republican ticket, also, of
county will be elected, and it
ought to be.

A Geography Lesson.


This is the way that a writer in

First class IN geography stand up.
What state was given the first prem
ium on white corn at the worlds fair in
1885?
Kansas.
The first premium for yellow corn?
Kansas.
Which state received the gold medal
at the worlds fair for the best corn in
the world?
Kansas.
Which state received the premium on
red winter wheat!
Kansas.
The premium on flour, graduated pro-
cess?

Kansas.
The first on the best one hundred vari-
cites of apples?

The class is congratulated upon the

raphy. The boy ought to know the
good points of his own state.

The independence exhibited by the
Hutchinson Times in refusing to swallow
the dose concocted by the fusionists in
the Democratic and Populist parties in
the form of state ticket and congress
man in this district would be commend
able enough; but it makes a mis-
cradle fall-down by keeping at the head
Of its editorial columns the names of the
presidential electors put up by the same

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?

Speaking of Kies, how do the farmers
of Sedgwick county who contributed of
their hard-earned money 10 the amount
several hundred dollars as a bonus
to induce the person named to remove
his newspaper outfit from Newton to
Wichita, with the understanding that
the paper was to become the organ of
the Alliance in this county, but which
paper has given little or no attention to
the local interests of the party further
than concerns his personal prelerment
and pecuniary affairs, not only, but
which has misrepresented the situation
and condition of the farming community
to the detriment of the material inter ests
of the community and state-how, we
ask, do the farmers of Sedgwick county
like the idea of seeing such a person
placed in one of the most important and
the best paying offices in the county?

GENE WARE IN POMPBII.

Hon. Eugene T. Ware writes the edi-

He was just in from Pompeii and study

The Republican state central commit
tee has already made arrangements for
nearly one hundred Republican rallies.
The seven congressional rallies to be held
next Thursday will inaugurate the
campaign in each congressional district,
and from that time on from ten to fifteen
meetings will be held each day. The
campaign this year is to be an aggres-
sive one-no temporising and no COM
promising. The battle will be fought to
win from the very start.

more than a mere campaign book, in
fact is most valuable history, for every
citizen of every party. 1t deals with the
history of parties from the foundation
Of the government, down TO the present
year, giving brief sketches of the most
noted leaders, every Republican plat
form from the first to the last, and vast
fund of valuable information. Is APP
peals especially to the thinking voter"
every one of whom ought to read it. OF
course no worker in The campaign is
equipped without a copy of it, more
than carpenter would be with
out his saw. or hunter with
out his gun. Mr.. Smalley is a writer Of
rare ability, longtime intimate friend
of Garfield, Blaine and other leaders,
staff correspondent of the New York
Tribune, etc., and thus richly fitted for
writing such a work. Another good
thing about the book is that it is ISIS aed
by the famous publisher of cheap books,
John B. Alden, 81 Rose street, New
York, and therefore to be mad at low
price, only So cents, postpaid. His cata-
logue, over 100 pages, of choice books to
be had for cents ought to be in the
hands of every lover of good books.
The Review of Reviews for September
is so edited as to remind its readers that
there are. even IN presidential year,
many other topics besides politics that
claim a share in the general attention.
In its timeliness. freshness and original
ity this September issue of the Review is
fully equal to any of its predecessors. 1t
Is remarkable general testimony, on
the part of the readers of this enterpris-
ing periodical, that every succeeding
number is fresh surprise and well
come one. The September number has
for its frontispiece spirited fuIl-length
portrait of the great French scientist,
Camille Flammarion, standing by the
side of his telescope in the observatory
at Juvisy; and the Progress of the
World'-that is the editorial open
ing department of the Review-begins
with a discussion of Mars and its inhabi-
fancy, illustrated with Chiaparelps map
of the surface OF Mars, and portraits of
Porf. Holden, of the Lick observatory,
and Francis Cation, chairman of the
Royal observatory at Kew, London.

Kansas has more TO gain by the restora
tion of the credit of the state through a
Republican victory at the polls next No
vember, than she has by any fiat Initiation,
sub-treasCry, or two per cent. loan scheme.
Topeka Sentinel.
We object to that way of putting it.
Kansas only hope of gain is through the
success of the Republican party. The
success of the cosmopolitan combine
with its fiat initiation. sub-treasury and
two per cent. loan schemes would result
an evil, and evil only, 10 the state.

1t mag be true, the statement about

their surplus wheat. Fact is, the
farmers learn of the condition of the

The Central National Bank at Els
worth notifies the farmers that those of
them who prefer to hold t;,eir big wheat
crop can have all the accommodation
they need for that purpose and that none
need feel forced to sell now for want of
ready money, of which the bank has
ample supply. From this it would seem
that the despised plutocrats have greater
confidence in the farmers than the farm
ers have in their neighbors or themselves.

LITERARY NOTES.

G. P. Putnam's Sons regret to an
nounce to the purchasers of their edition
of the TalIeyrand Memoirs, that two
papers printed in the French edition of
the fifth and concluding volume have
been omitted from the editions appear
ing in London and New York. These
two papers comprise the ''Retraction' or
confession written by Talleyrand the
day before his death, for transmission
through the archbishop of Paris to the
pope, and the letter to the pope that ac-
companied this ssretraction."
The responsibility for this omission
rests with the French publishers or with
the French editor. The publishers of
the American edition, believing these
papers to be of special interest and i'm
portance, take the ground that American
readers of the work are entitled to have
the same included in their own copies.
They haye, therefore, printed leafiet of
four pages containing the two prpess IN
question and are prepared to furnish the
same, on application, to any correspond
ents who have purchased their edition Of
the Memoirs.
