to come back to attend TO some business.
They say that the first stop they made
west of Red Rock was thirty-five miles, on
camping place Of the robbers. The next
one was further west, and the camp fire
had not yet gone out. At that point some
clothing, broken watch crystals and other
things were found, clearly indicative of
the change of apparel and other recupera-
lions that the kighwaymen had made. The
point where the gang crossed the Rock
Island is clearly seen. One OF the com

Hon. Sol Miller expresses his views
upon the political situation in long
editorial, in this weeks Troy Chief,
written in his wonted frank and vigor-
Gus style. The substance OF the article
is that the life of the Republican party
is now in the balances at Minneapolis.
We agree that it is not impossible for the
convention to make mistake, but we
do not think it can make any that would
prove fatal to the party. The conyen-
ton is controlled by the ablest men in
the party, and besides, it should be re-
membered that contests in the party are
made before final action is taken in con-
vention, and not afterwards.

The Kansas CITY Times. with its usual

The Kansas City Times. with its usual
impertinence, is urging the nomination
of David Overmyer for congressman-at-
large in this state, on platform which
would force the fighting on the silver
issue. "Mr. Anthony" it says, "must
be compelled to meet the issue squarely."
Dir. Anthony is in hearty accord with
Ills party on that question, but it will
not be made an issue in the pending ma
tional campaign, for the simple reason
that the Democratic party will occupy
practically the same ground as the Re
publican. Mr.. Overmyer's declarations
On the matter are given out for effect,
to catch the Peoples party endorsement.
His own party know full well that he
can be depended upon to stand with the
party, whatever position it may take or
fail 10 take. Dave Overmyer Is fishing
for gudgeons, but the chances are that
he won't get nibb!e.

A MAICALEsS NATION.

The ST. Louis board of trade caused to
be made a thorough investigation into
the devastation wrought by the recent
floods in the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers and tributaries. and the result has
been a yerification Of the estimates here
tofore made and published, of $50.000,-
GEO. Such u volume Of destruction
spread over so vast an area Of country
and affecting so many people, could not
but produce great restitution. But so
far not a case Of actual suffering from
want has been made public. There may
have been some isolated cases, but the
response from the country in subStan-
tial aid has been so prompt and generous
that the necessities of the sufferers nave
been provided for IN tie main.
The significant part of all this is that
a country can bear such INN anse losses
without its creating widespread want
and famine. and causing the sufferers IN
the flooded districts to leave them in
droves. But few countries iii
the world could meet with
such calauiites without the whole
people being greatly damaged and de-
moralized thereby, but outside of some
efforts to relieve the temporary suffer
iugs ard necessities from the floods,
there appears to be no great need for
outside assistance.
The truth is we do not at all realize
the vastness OF our resources in the
United States, and do not have any idea
how much we could stand # put to the
test When war debt of two billions
of dollars was created many thought the
country was irretrieyably ruined, but it
turned out that the war debt was mere
bagatelle which could be handled and
finally paid off without the least embar-
rasSment.
The people of the flooded districts have
gone to work repairing their ill fortunes
and in few years the great food will
only be a memory. This is indeed
wonderful country and the strongest i'm
aglnation cannot picture what it will de-
yeloD into

to believe that gambling is nothing but
gambling, even when it Is done in the
name Of religion. Whether this action
was prompted by the proposition made a

with the church, and was meant as a re-

The Voice, which is the principal Or
gan of the Prohibition party, says there
is a growing sentiment in favor of
changing the name of the party, but so
many are the names suggested that there
seems to be no immediate prospect of an
agreement on any of them. But it is
difficult to understand why there should
be change of name so long as there
is to he no change in the principles of
the party. prohibition" is simple and
expressive, and everybody knows what
it means on sight. National Reform. >

THE SITUATION At MINNEAPOLIS.

Discriminating the few ascertainable
facts from the mass OF more or less IT.
relevant gossip that is telegraphed from
Minneapolis. it appears that no great
change was made ID the situation IN the
last twenty-four hours. There has
been no stampeding SO far, and no SIAM
pede ever occurs when warning has
been given and preparation made. The
situation requires from The managers OF
the two opposing elements careful con-
sideration and weli-directed and intelll-
gent work, and shrewd political mana
gers never let out anything but what
they want everybody TO believe. The
great mass of the matter telegraphed SO
far is either the gossip Of hotel corridors
or feelers put out by the leaders. the
accredited delegates were all assembled
last night for the first time, and the con-
vention is now in organized, working
order. The delay in getting to work has
been trying to the popular patience, but
unavoidably a slow-going body, and con-
sequentIy makes haste slowly.
There are doubtless at Minneapolis, as
in all large gatherings of representative
Americans, an influential body Of men
who are carefully considering what is
the Lest course for the party to take in
the present emergency. and the outcome
of the convention will be determined by
them. And when SO determined, and
the personal disappointments shall have
given place to reason and calm judg-
ment that viii speedily assert them
selves, the past viii be forgotten in the
zeal that will assert itself for the party'S
success and the common veal.

the exact location of these Enthusiastically

but even after SO much research and

forced to admit that their whereabouts
is doubtful in the extreme.
Some believe them to be identical
with the Footnote islands, near Socota,
but these last named are now too small
for human habitation, besides being too
near the shores Of the Red sea 10 cor

A decrease OF 25 per cent in this years
cotton crop from tina. of last year. as is
indicated by estimates made by experts
in that staple, ought to afford the farm
ers of the south-that is, those who have
contributed to the reduction by volun-
tarily curtailing the acreage-great
relief. It is not hoped that the decrease
in the volume of the crop will have the
effect to raise the price proportionately,
on account of the large surplus still on
hand fir, n last years great crop, though
it will have some effect in that direction.
The greatest immediate benefit will be
in the increase of food crops that will
take the place of the cotton crops cur
tailment. This saving to the farmers
will more than compensate them for the
change and will no doubt encourage
them to pursue the changed policy IN the
future,

Disasters Not Exclusively Local

Disasters of all kinds are to be re.
GREETED; they are likely to occur in every
locality, but because Kansas has an &C.
casonaI cyclone, causing the death of
from one to twenty persons i'll a year, Is
no reason why the state should be
traduced and described as a place unfit
for the habitation of man. The loss of
life by cyclones, i'll an entire century,
would not equal the number lost in the
JohnstOwn, Pa, disaster; aud it would
require at least quarter of IA century
for the Kansas cyclone death list to
equal that of the recent horrible affair
in the Pennsylvania oil regions.
