1t seems 10 be the unanimous senti-
ment OF the people that the new con-
gresS should be convened in special ses-
sion Immediately after the Inauguration
of the new administration. in order that
the reforms promised by the Democratic
party may be put into practice as soon
as possible. Tie demand is altogether
reasonable and just. If the reforms
suggested are TO prove beneficial 10 the
country the people ought to haze the
benefit at the earliest date possible: If
otherwise, the injnrious effects can be
sooner realized and the people have op-
portunity to correct them through the
ballot.

OF the vote cast on the constitutional
convention question good majority was
in favor of the proposition, but mas
much as the present law requires ma
iority of all the votes whether cast or
not. there is some doubt whether the

may be there can be no question about

As SORENESS carried to the pitch of
brutality is often imputed to the French

occurred hereabouts not long before my

these small owners was suddenly ruined

The St. Louis Globe Democrat thinks
il will be difficult for Cleveland to fill
the federal offices in Kansas, as there
were no votes cast for him in this state.
The Globe is inclined to be facetious.
The Democrats of Kansas took the state
away from Harrison, and while that
was not required to secure his election,
lie is just as much bound to recognize
the service as if this state had settled
the contest. One thing is certain, and
that is no Populist will set anything
from Washington.

selfishness Exemplified.
From the Kansas City Gazette.

From the kanSaS CITY GaZette.
This selfish class business is demon
strated in the silver-lead ore duty. The
people of Colorado had to have it, but
they demanded more. They wanted 100
cents for 20 cents worth of silver, and
the government to coin it for them for
nothing, and because they did not get it
they voted to down the party. The
farmers of New York gained immensely
by the exclusion of Canadian COM
petition, but they voted the Democratic
ticket. Whether right or wrong the
people are suspicious of the Mckinley
law, and that is what did it, We think
the other policy should be tried, speedily
and thoroughly. All history is against
it, but perhaps the Democratic party is
smarter than it used to be.

..It is tale of two cities" said Post.

sit is tale of two cities" said Post
master General Wannamaker today.
"New York and Chicago are responsible
for it. They are made up largely Of
foreign element and it has been this
element which has given the Democratic
party the preponderance of strength in
the great cities OF the country and
through them the country at large"
This is almost as bsd break for Wanna
maker as Tom Reeds charge that Presi-
dent Harrison is responsible for it. No
enc man nor nationality, more than
another is more blameworthv, and it
can do no possible good to cast express
sions now.

It is said that since the election all the
titles in the south have been moved up a
peg. Every major" is colonel, y
every Colonel is a general, and every
general" is governor" After that
they must go back to private citizens and
begin all over again. The human mag
ination fails after governor. There is
one state that is an exception to this rule,
however: in Kentucky they are all born
colonies, and the promotions run to SEN
ator, which is the acme Of political and
social ambition.

A Plausible Explanation.

O
Take the Populist vote, the Prohibition
vote, and all independent" movements
OF the last twenty years, and seven
tenths OF theni--in fact practically all of
them-have come from the Republican
organization and following. And why?
Simply because from chafed conditions
of the body polite this active element
has been hunting remedy for some
thing. Not that the Republican party
is any more prone 10 such impracticable
sumptuary theories As are involved in
prohibition, but because of an unrest
under conditions. and the hope that it
was one way out. Give the people az
large an issue broad enough aud radical
enough TO meet the popular demand an d
sach side issues as prohibition and the
extreme granger views would never be
heard Of.

Theory VS. Fact.

To the editor OF THE REPUBLICAN.
Undoubtedly the Democrat and
its ilk would be immensely graft
fed to see wool selling at a very
low price.
Last week, in labored article a
column in length. it tried to con-
vince itself that wool is OF ought to
be selling for % cents.
OF course everybody else knows
better, but all the same the Demo
crat keeps right on just as though
all the farmers in the country had
not just marketed their wool for %
cents cash per pound, and contin.
ues to buck its % cent theory against
this solid wall of fact.
Wool is selling to-day at ten to
twelve cents per pound more in the
United States than it brings in
Canada or England and how dc
the free wool people account fol
this difference in favor of the
American wool grower if the duty
does not make the difference?
Why does the free-traders APP
peal to the manufactures to heir
them break down the tariff on
wool if it makes the price go way
down?
We believe that the duty on WOO
has tendency to keep up the
price to the American wool grower
We prefer to see the American
scale of wages maintained all along
the line, and men with brains in
