The Kind of a Governor Needed.

From the Atchison Champion.
The kind of a governor Kansas needs for the
next two years is first, loyal, enthusiastic,
dyed-in-the-wool Kansan; next a man Of spot
less character and blameless life; next, a man
who is entirely free from rings and cliques; a
man whom the railroads do not own and can
not buy; next a man who has deep and settled
convictions on matters of state policy, who is
able to distinguish in all matters pertaining TO
the material and moral welfare Of Kansas, be-
tween the fictitious and the real-the harmful
and the helpful; next, man who has the
courage of conyictions-a man of nerve, back
bone; next. man who, during his first term
viii not subordinate every executive obliga-
ton and duty TO laying pipes for second term;
next a man who will dispense whatever
patronage he may command with a corscien-
tious regard to the best interests of the COM
monwealth, aud not solely with reference to
maintaining gang Of political FOUNDERS
whom lac may utilize for personal political
ends; next, a man devoid of hobbies, of crank
mess, of isms; man of broad and comprehen-
sive craftsmanship, of sagacity. Of discretion,
a man who is not dependent in his official
action upon the judgment of a private secTe-
tary; next, man who will give his moral in
fuence to the enforcement of all The laws on
our statute books, and not simply to the
enforcement of some one law to the exclusion

sonality Will lend dignity TO the state; and
who, when called into council with the gov
errors of neighboring states, will be the peer
Intellectually of the best of them; next,
man whom Kansans of all parties can sincerely
respect for his personal worth his official in
tegrity and impartiality. and next, a man
whose name in the Columbian period Of our
nations history will emphasize the cumulative
glory of one of the grandest states of the
American union.
There are several Kansans who could easily
and gracefully fill the bill, but in the Cham
pion's estimation, the one Kansan who in all
particulars, would fill it most completely is

KANSAS CROP PROSPECTS.

TT. Scott Monitor: whats the mat
ter with the secretary of the state board
of agriculture, who permits the report
to go out with his sanction that Kansas
wheat is looking well, and that crop of
75,000,000 bushels the coming season
may be expected? The wheat crop does
not compare with last year at this time,
and neither is the acreage so large. If
Kansas gets a crop of 10000, 900 bushels
the present year it will do we'll. The
exaggeration of crop prospects is foolish
in every respect, and damaging to the
farmer who has grain to sell" The re-
port of the secretary is no doubt some
what exaggerated, but not to the extent
the Monitor would make it appear. The
condition nor acreage in the eastern
third Of the state equals that Of last
years crop at the same time, it's true;
but in the central belt both the acreage
and present condition are equal to last
years crop, while in the western belt,
which embraces about all Of the western
half of the state, the acreage is larger than
last year, and the condition of the crop
is said to be exceptionally good. From
these statements the prospect for crop
this year equal that of last year. We
quite agree with the Monitor that exag-
geration of crop prospects is damaging
to the farmer; but Understanding is
equally injurious to all interests.

Not satisfied with Mr.. Blaine's declina-
tion to become candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination, his political enemies
would retire him at once to private life.
But that would not satisfy them: he will
be a thorn in the flesh of some people as
long as he remains in this world. 1t is
hardly expected that he viii hasten his
departure, however, on that account.
And whether living or dead his name
and memory will be revered by thous-
ands and millions who have never heard
of his puny maligners. If his health shall
permit he will continue at the head Of
the state department to the end of the
present administration, and it were a
pity that he cannot remain longer to
serve the country's best interests.

WHO CAN DELIVER?

In the Congregationalist a physician
writes interestingly about the grip. In
Jackson's day his opponents called the
disease "Jackson's itch,' and Tyler'S OPP
ponents called it the 'Tyler grippe"
La grippe is only one of the figurative
terms used by the French to describe the
influenza. Others the ''petite post"
petite courier" grenade" Toilette"
"coqueite' and 'la generate" ''La
grippe" secured general acceptance from
its graphic suggestiveness. The Germans
have various descriptive names for the
grip, such as ''blitz-catarrh" lightning
catarrh), ''schafshusten" sheep cough,
"huehcenziep' (crowing), "modefeber"
fashionable fever, etc. The Russians
call it Chinese catarrh, the Germans often
call it the Russian pest, the Italians
name it the German disease, the French
call it the Italian fever and the Spanish
Catarrh. The Italians invented the term
influenza in the seventeenth century, and
attributed the disease to the influence Of
certain planets.
All of this Is interesting enough to
read to person who has never expert
enced the misery of its sensations, or the
least one Of them-if they are sus-
ceptible of comparison-but it does not
moliify the misery nor loosen the lease
of the real thing one whit, and what is
worse, there appears to be nothing
known to ''the profession" that will, I'M
less it be asafoetida, and as a remedy
that is esteemed as obnoxious as the di-

Is He Honorable, Is He Worthy

From the Meade County Globe.
Colonel VI. ". Murdoch seems to keep his
hand firmly upon the public pulse. Colonel
Murdoch has been many years in Kansas, and
has labOred ceaselessly for the welfare of the
state, advocating measures and supporting
men which and who he believed would best
subserve the interests of this great state and
the whole country. Always Republican, he
has at times exercised the prerogative Of
American citizenship in dissenting from some
measures proposed or adopted by the political
party Of his choice. Without this liberty of
the citizen, this freedom of opinion and of
speech, American citizenship would lose its
charm. the republic its standing among the
nations, and its influence in the affairs of the
world. Yet while Marsh Murdoch has reCOg-
nized these truths by word and act. he has re-
manned faithful to that grand political organi-
symbols of civil and religious liberty, and
whose battles have ever been waged in behalf
of the moral and political welfare of the state.
1t makes no difference with us whether Col
Murdoch is for or against prohibiticn-all we
wish to know is that he is honorable, worthy
of bearing with becoming mOdeSty public
honOrs. capable Of filing the highest Office in
the gift of the people, and managing with a
master their affairs committed to the
constitution and laws to his charge. Believing
that the editor of the Wichita EAGLE fills the
BILL we hope to see him nominated and elected.

A few years ago it was suspected that
the latitude of places on the earth's sur
face changes. a number of astronomers
agreed to make observations for two
years, and the result has just been made
public. Latitudes do change. Berlin,
for example, was fifty feet nearer the
North Pole in September than it was in
March. This change is not, of course, a
shifting of any one point on the earth's
surface. 1t is a fitting of the axis of the
earth.

New York, May 1O.-Postmaster
Manley, OF Augusta, Me-, one OF secre-
tary Blaine's most faithful followers,
has been in Washington for several
days and has held number OF consul
tation with Mr.. Blaine. Before leaving
for home, Mr.. Manlcy, accordi ng to a

about Mr.. Blaine and tho presidency.
When he wrote his letter OF last Febru-

that his name .would'not 90 before the

meant it. He has not changed his
mind since then. He says frankly TO
those who speak to him on tho subject
that he feels better than he has for a

why he should not live for years, but
he is conscious that he could not en-
dure great and unusual strain. He
does not intend to place himself in
position where such strain could not
