a ROORBACK.

Our Democratic contemporary appears
last evening i'll a sensational article IN
which it is claimed that evidence has
been discovered going to prove that Col.
J. r. Hallowell is not honest IL his sup
port of Murdoch for governor. The
newly discovered evidence seems to be a
letter written by Mr.. Robert Neal, stem
ographer in HalIowell e. Gordon's Office,
to an influential gentleman in the east
ern section of this state. Now the facts
are that copy of the letter was sub
mitted to Murdock's friends, and it abso-
lutely contains nothing harmful to his
candidacy, in fact the most of the dOcu-
ment sets out his chances in the strong
est terms.
1t is probably unnecessary to add any
thing farther than to say that all this
talk about misunderstanding disagree
ments or treachery upon the part of Col
onel Hallowell, or upon the part of his
friends. or upon the part of any element
of the Republican party of Sedgwick, is
nonsense, without foundation or excuse,
and the sooner it is frowned down the
better it will be for the Republican party
this fall.

1t has been pointed out that during
the last twenty-five years five prime
ministers of England have dissolved par
lament, and that in each case the OPP
position has come into power. History
has fashion of repeating itself, and If
Lord Salisbury shall succeed in obtain
ing a majority in the next parliament he
will be luckier than were his predeces-
sors, whether Tory or Liberal. The
present prime minister's recent declara-
tons touching an important economic
question shows that he appreciates the
gravity of the situation. Salisbury is
estimated to be very astute politician,
but it is thought TO be doubtful over
there whether the departure he would
lead off in will prove to be popular. 1t
is suspected that it is more matter of
necessity than an appeal to popular
sentiment. 1t is an open secret that
Britain's revenues are not keeping pace
with the growth of her expenditures.

The New York World does not accept
Senator Germans defense of billion dol
lar appropriations and calls his argu-
ment unsound. 1t says the people did
not want the Democrats to reduce ex-
penditures "by cutting down the supply
of soap and towels at West Point, by
diminishing the pay of scrub-women nor
by any persimonious cheese-paring ex-
pedients, but by demanding that I'M
necessary expenditures such as those APP
piled to pensions, public buildings. and
rivers and harbors, shall cease" "Ail
these and many other economies" it
says, sit was within the power of the
Democratic house to enforce. 1t has not
had the courage of its duty. And in
voting money heedlessly from depleted
treasury it has been false to Its trust and
has thrown away its party's most potent
issue"

The Presbyterian general assembly,
which is now in session in Portland, Or,
is always an important gathering; but
additional interest Will be taken in its
deliberations this year from the fact
that an authoritive and final utterance is
likely to be made on the question of re-
vision of the Westminster confession
of faith. 1t is not likely that the lead
ers in the Presbyterian church will
longer permit the question to remain I'M
settled; and whatever decision NAV be
reached, the end of the protracted agita-
ton will be gladly welcomed by all who
sympathize with the spiritual aspira-
lions of humanity.

Search Light on Mt. Washington.

It is proposed TO erect this summer a
gteat electric search light on the summit
of Mount Washington. II Will be one Of
the most powerful ones ever constructed.
The rays OF light Will come out of the
protector in a single straight and very
powerful beam, which stands out in the
darkness Of the night as distinct as
though it were something on which Que
could walk, reaching perhaps 100 miles.
and all along the way IT can he eeen
touching hilltop here and there, and II
Illuminating Whatever may be In ITS path.
In all probability this beam Of light can
be seen from half dozen states, the
dominion of Canada, and from far out
at sea. The light in al probability will
be seen from the state house in HOstoa.

SOUTHERN KANSAS CROPS.

The Little and Great Arkansas rivers
have both contained themselves IN a
very satisfactory fashion during the late
excessive rainfalls. Not a single farm
or town within the bounds of the state
has boon damaged by either of these
streams up to date, and both are gradu'
ally falling back to their usual volume.
Meanwhile the vast and almost innumer-
able wheat and oat fields of Southern
Kansas have fiourished in most vigor-
Gus way, the corn being in a promising
state. Ia fact, barring unlocked for
fatalities, this, the most famous and sue
cessful fall wheat growing section IN the
world, bids fair to surpass itself III the
harvests Of next month.

NEARING THE END, AND BEGINNING

1t is two weeks and two day until
Minneapolis.
Preparations for the interesting affair
TO take place then and there are going
on apace, the managers having even fix
ed upon the program of the inaugural
ceremonies.
The new convention hall will be filled
to the doors with delegates and visitors.
There will be music by brass band and
chorus Of 800 voices will sing such
patriotic music as cannot be construed
into rejecting partisan feeling. The
addresses will be delivered by Major
Mckinley, the energetic tariff-champion,
and Mr.. Depew.
There is distinctly festal character
about all this. The day to follow will
be one of toll and voting and of anxious
delegates growing hoarse with shouting.
People throughout the country will be
hiving around bulletin boards and jost-
ling each other over tickers. But the
eve of the combat will be as festive and
joyous as carnival.
This is pleasant. Even busy Mr.. Har-
rison, down there at Washington, will
feel some polite interest in the proceed
ings that are to follow.

1t is a dull week in London when there
is not a sensation of some sort in upper

THAT SUMNER COUNTY TRAIN.

From the Fl Dorado Republican.
\ handsomely decorated train of
twenty cars of wheat, containing
10000 bushels, passed through this city
on the Missouri Pacific last Friday, en-
route to New Orleans, where ii has been

The opposition of the few to the re-
nomination of President Harrison is
probably based upon the opinion enter
tanned by General Grant in his letter to
Roscoe Conkling, wherein he expressed
''serious doubt whether any man can
ever again be reelected to a second
term" 1t is fact that no one of the
four presidents from Grant to Harrison
succeeded himself, and only one was
proposed by his party. But circumstan-
ces alter cases. Popular demand super
sedes and directs party action.

AT last the political situation, on the
Democratic side, is beginning to assume
definite shape down in Kentucky. The
Cumberland county Democrats come out
like men and instruct for the Hon.
Henry Watterson for president. If the
Democratic party is going to make the
fight on the tariff issue, Mr.. Watterson
is the man who ought to carry their
banner. Single-handed he made Carlisle
and Cleveland and Morrison and Mills
and the rest of them toe the mark, and,
in spite of their timidity and handicap
ped by their backwardness, he made
free trade the leading principle of their
party. Now that Cumberland county
has put the ball in motion the party ex-
tant can jlne in and kee p it arollin.

Among the weighty questions that the
church militant, which is just now as
sembled by representatives in its various
branches in this country, will probably
feel constrained to reaffirm its views
upon, (either in stronger or more modi-
fed form as the case may be with their
several shades of opinion or belief is the
doctrine Of human depravity. And as
if planned by the fates a number of very
forceful object lessons have just been
provided in such occurrences as the
lynching mania that has prevailed III
this country recently, and the licentious
practices in public places by supposed
to-be exemplars of good morals in other
countries, The world is curious to see
what the church will do about these cry
ing evils.

A WORD OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

There have come to US, at the hands of
our fellow-citizens, within the past few
weeks a number of endorsements fiatter-
ing beyond deservings, being such COM

active response of an entire community
SO sensibly touched the best within US
as the recognition and benediction con-
tanned in the document presented to the
Murdoch club at the Friday night meet
ing by the Typographical union of this
city, and which was signed by its every
member. 1t was praise begotten only of
the retrospective. Whatever may be the
estimate OF the world at large,
however its favorable or unfavorable
conclusions may have been colored
flattered indeed is he who receives the
requiting acquittal OF ''well done, thou, y
etc, at the hands of those with whom
his life has been in daily and hourly
touch for years. Unsought and unex-
pected, without the incentive of local
pride or the promise of reward of any
character, such an expression of regard
is more valuable, thousand-fold, than
the transient honor whose tenure is re-
tanned only while the power of political
position continues. OF course it will be
understood that in the action referred 10
all party affiliations were ignored, the
truth being that majority OF the mem-
bers of the union are Democrats, there
fore something higher and more to be
priced than the zeal that comes of polit-
ical preference and loyalty.

The presidential election in Mexico

In proof of the claim that the Demo-
cratic party is always friendly to the ag-

it points with pride to the fact that the
money used in its campaigns is drawn
from the Standard Oil company and
other enormous trusts and greedy cor
porations, and is not raised by levying
assessments upon the rank and file of the
party, as the Alliance does.
