Our country is full of cranks. 1t is
not unreasonable to believe the statement
that Mrs. Grover Cleveland lives in con-
slant apprehension least her baby, Ruth,
will be kidnapped. 1t is not unlikely
There is certain per cent of our sensa-
tional population that has an aching de-
sire to become notorious. The theft of
the Cleveland baby would gain this, and
although the consequences might be I'M
desirable, the means in the mind of a
crank are often uppermost to the end,

The statement of Secretary Foster,
mentioned in yesterdays dispatches in
regard to the feeling in England con-
corning the coinage question, will no
doubt greatly encourage the double

though it is by no means certain that
there will be any agreement reached be-
tween the governments for some time to
come. The first step has not yet been
taken in that direction.

The Democratic newspapers at Ham
ilton, Ohio. have declared for ex-Gov-
ernor Campbell for the presidency.
They declare he would not accept sec
ond place on the ticket. Their espousal
of the ex-Governor's cause is very mag
ninimous of them, but they needn't let
the thought of his being offered second
place on the presidential ticket trouble
them in the least; there Is not the
slightest probability of such a thing.

A Leader Wanted.

From the BoonviiIe Republican.
No Republican is fit to be leader of
the party who cannot command the
united support of the party. No Re-
publican leader will receive that sup
port which is essential to success who
does not command the respect and
confidence of a large majority of the
party. No Republican worthy of the
name who desires the success of the
party will insist on retaining the leader
ship when ne knows that his leadership
will result in DISCRIMINATION aud defeat.

Big Wheat Crop Promised.

From the AtchisJn Globe.
There is al most no doubt at all that
western Kansas will have larger wheat
crop this year than it had last. The snow
of yesterday and today, and the rain of
Saturday, makes big wheat crop GER
tainty. Wheat is usually injured in the
latter part of March, by the wind blow
ing the dirt from around the roots. The
groun nd Is now so wet that this cannot
happen. The acreage in the west is
enormous. The successful crop last year
caused great amount to be planted, and
it could not possibly be in better con-
dltion.

New ELECTRIC INTENTIONALLY to
date all the methods devised for light
ing railroad cars by electricity have
materially been failures. The storage
batteries were worse than useless, ow-
ing to the fact that it took almost as
long to charge storage as it did to dis
charge it, and the other methods were
impracticable.
1t was finally announced, however,
that Prof. ]. f. McElroy, of Lansing,
Mich, for several years superintendent
ofthe State School for the blind in Lans-
Jag, has solved the problem oflighting o
train by electricity i'll Il successful and
g ,onomical manner. \ valuable iea-
t Ire is the device arranged to retain
light inSthc cars at standstill. In each
car a small but powerful storage bat
terry is placed. While the train is in
motion these batteries become charged.
When the train stops at the station,
the power from the dynamo ceases, but
automatically the storage batteries
come into play, and light the train. A
car may be cut off and thrown to side
track TO await connection, and the
lights will be in service for six hours.
The time can be increased at will by
increasing the storage battery power
The headlight for the locomotive and
every light in The train will be electric.
and the tax on the power of the loco
motive will be very small. The cost of
the system is less than the ordinary
lights now in use on railroads. The
dynamo is so arranged that it does not
take the power from the locomotive
when it is doing its heaviest work
that is, when it is starting. The work
begins when the engine is moving at
about thirteen miles an hour. When
the train is broken up, the whole ap,
paratus is in normal condition, and
requires no attention whatever.
