According TO the story. which is very
venerable one, the pope looked over the
list and found that there were no saints
that had not been given to the other pro

much cast down. Observing his depres-

directed him to go to d church near by, to
blindfold himself and TO pass around the

AS was expected the nomination of
Hon. George 7. Anthony by the Repub-
lican state convention for congressman
at-large meets with violent opposition
from the opposition and there is great
running to and fro by the leaders and
papers of the Peoples and Democratic
parties after some one on whom they
can unite to run against Mr.. Anthony.
If the Republican nominee needed any
recommendation or endorsement to his
party for force of character and superior
ability, this rancor against him by the
opposition is the strongest that could be
offered, aside from his own personal
worth. The truth is the opposition has
felt the force and power of Anthony's
arraignment of its incompetency and
dishonesty heretofore and they dread and
fear it.

salina Republican: ..Tbe wheat fields

Salina Republican: 1.-THE wheat fields
of Saline county look a great deal better
this year than they did last year at this
date. There is an evenness and richness
of color which indicates that there will
be large yield. The crop is not in
jured by insects, and the weather has
been so favorable that it is making a
rapid growth. A few more weeks and
the crop will be insured" The same
reports come from nearly every county
in the western two-third5 of the state.
The spring has not been so favorable for
general farming operations and almost
all vegetation has been retarded in its
growth and development by the very
cool weather, but the conditions have
been the very best for the growth of
winter wheat and throughout the west
ern portion of the state the prospect for
a full crop has, perhaps, never been
SURPASSED,

BEFORM THE TARIFF.

Four years ago, through the operation
of the progressive policy adopted by
the Democrats, and the continuance OF
the Republican policy of providing funds
for the support of the government, the
treasury accumulated large surplus of
money, and the Democrats took ad-
vantage of the condition to renew the
cry of Tariff Reform"-reduce the
tariff. The Republicans regained con-
troll of the government and proceeded
forthwith to apply the revenues to the
legitimate uses for which the money
was intended and collected, with the re-
suit of putting into circulation the sur
plus that the false notions of the Demo-
Gratis has caused TO accumulate. And
now that there is no great surplus OF
money in the treasury the receipts OF
the government having been turned
back into the current of needed circula-
ton, the Democrats are protesting great
alarm lest deficit shall occur in the
governments finances, and are again
crying out ''reduce the tariff" SO that
the increase in imports may be stlmu-
lated to the point of yielding the govern
ment sufficient volume of revenue TO
prevent depletion of the treasury.
Our Democratic friends, in this rever-
sible, Misunderstanding policy, remind
us of the Kentucky doctor who procured
all his remedies, for whatever ailment,
from a single tree. If he wanted lax
ative, he scraped the bark off with
downward stroke; if he wanted an
astringent, he used the same bark, only
scraping it upward:-the first he called
high-cock-a-lorum, and the second, low
cock-a-hirum.

Kansas City Gazette: "The Wichita
EAGLE objects to a woman delegate from
Wyoming in the national Republican
couyention. If she is a voter in the
state she comes from she ought to be adj
mitted Her admission could not posi-
bly, commit the party-at-large to the
question of female suffrage, but we be-
lieve that such novelty or innovation
would create wonderful enthusiasm
everywhere. Whether the women vote
or not we want them on our side-that
is women, domestic women, and not the
termagants like Mrs. Lease" That
sounds rhythmical and poetic and all
that, until you come down to the con-
clusion, and there's where the trouble be-
gins: harness women up in political
breeches and the exceptions to the rule
set by the said termagants would be
rare, indeed.

Then you don't consider preferment
bestowed by the Democratic party as an
honor, ell? All Of the men named have
received as high honor(0 as their party
could bestotw. Villas was cabinetsofficer

Watterson has been in congress, chair
man of a national convention of his

now close up to the top round.

The congress and the administration
made comparative quick work Of the
Chinese exclusion bill, the act passing
both houses and receiving the presidents
signature i'll approval with the very
shortest delay after the measure was
introduced in the house. This was the
result. or effect, of what was understood
to be the popular sentiment upon the
question The measure having thus be-
come law AID in operation it is useless
perhaps TO discuss its merits or dement's
now, but it is pertinent that the country
should be reminded that the Chinese are
not the only, nor even the most, objec-
tionable people for citizenship or resi-
deEce in this country. The truth is,
with all their exclusiveness, their per-
sistent refusal to identify themselves as
a class or race with the country, and
their lack of enterprise and public spirit,
the Chnaman is a comparatively harm
less character as compared with the
nihilist and anarchist that comes here
from some of the leading" nations of
the eastern hemisphere, whose presence
is thousand fold more menacing to the
peace of the country than the whole of
the Orient.
