WHEAT IN WESTERN KANSAS.

Martin Mohler says ne will make no
formal report on the condition and pros
pect Of the present wheat crop until
after April 6, when he will have the re-
ports of correspondents in the various
counties in hand, but he proceeds 10
bear the wheat market by intImations
and significant remarks about the con-
dition of the crop in the western part Of
the state, as though the circumstance
that a total failure of the crop in that
part of the state-if it shonld so occur
would have the effect to boom the price
of wheat on the general market. If it
should be automatically stated that the
crop is failure in western Kansas it
would have depressing effect upon the
price and demand for lands out there, a
fact for which Mohler doesn't seem to
care straw. But the truth is Mohler
doesn't know anything about what the
wheat crop in western Kansas will or
will not be; neither does anyone else at
this time. 1t is fact, however, that
the prospect Is as good now as it was
year ago, and last years crop was the
best that section ever raised.

STAND UP FOX LAW AND ORDER.

If the Republicans of Kansas begin
right this spring they will have little
trouble next fall and all will be well the
fall following, Every city in the state
should have "a Republican mayor.-Em-
poria Republican.
The desire OF every thinking man in
the city is to present a united Republi-
can party in this election that there NAV
be no question of defeating the nomi nee
of the Populist party for mayor. This
end is certainly demanded by every
commercial and every Industrial interest
of Pittsburg and the State.-Pittsburg
World.
Lawrence Journal: ''For the first time
in years our city has placed straight
Republican ticket in the field" is the
news that comes every day from some
city of Kansas. Let the good work go
on. Begin at the beginning. Do not
temporize with the enemy nor allow
him single advantage. If every city
of Kansas elects straight Republican
ticket this spring, the victories in the
county elections next fail will be easy,
and with them won, the general election
of 1894 is ours. Begin right, and begin
now.
Kansas City Gazette: In every part
OF the state the people are awake to the
one issue forced upon them by the POpu-
list conduct of the past winter. 1t will
enter into every contest from now on
until the election of 1894, when the state
must be taken from them. Everywhere
the importance Of commencing now
seems to Impress the people. The
Wichita EAGLE says the essence, the
spirit and the personality OF the Demo-
Pop fusion which made LEVEL ng gov
ernor, Artz adjutant general, Mrs. Mary
+. Lease the president of the most re-
sponsible board in the state. and which
elected the Pop senate and the Duns-
more house; must be met, and the place
to settle the question, first, is in the
wards, cities and counties,
and the quicker it is settled the better
it will be for the state and for every in
dividual inhabitant thereof. At Fort
Scott the Monitor says the people will
be called upon to decide between the
party now in power, and all the attend
ant evils Of the conglomerate mass of
the dissatisfied and disappointed ele-
ments, and the party that ruled for
thirty years and brought prosperity out
Of a desert and developed the fairest
state from wilderness. Whether men
who secretly advocate anarchy and
openly practice it shall rule Kansas, or
The law abiding, peace-loving element of
the people, is, it says, the question now
before the voters of the state.

THE COST OF REVOLUTION.
From the Kansas Chief.

From the Kansas Chief.
A great ado is being made over the
payment of Welch's deputy sergeants-
alarms, over six hundred in number,
whose combined pay amounts to almost
$4,000. Why should they not be paid;
and why is their payment more of a
fraud than that of other employees?
They were called upon to serve. and did
serve. Their calling was necessity, in
order to protect the legal house in its
rights. The Anarchistlc attempt to
force the legal house of representatives
out of the state house, made the presence
of large force absolutely necessary. If
these people responded 10 the call. and
gave their time, they were entitled to
pay, no matter if an emergency did not
arise requiring active service. Perhaps
their presence was what prevented such
an emergency. The illegal proceedings
party officially cost the state more than
$50, 900 over the usual cost of session
of the legislature. Why grumble at
$4,000 for the payment of men who re-
sponded TO the call to protect the right?

Reports from Europe of the prevalence,
rirulence and rapid spread of cholera in
certain quarters that have contributed
literally to the volume of emigrants to
America, shows that the restrictions put
upon immigration from the east by the
last congress were so enacted none too
soon. To suspend intercourse between
this country and those infested by the
dread scourge would work a serious
hardshipto many, but it were better
that they should thus suffer inconven-
fence and loss of business than that the
whole nation should be subjected to the
terrors of the fateful malady.

A Chicago syndicate of capitalists is
contemplating the establishment of an

the practicability of slaughtering hogs

A CONSTANT MENACE,

The trust is the worst form of business
greed AID despotism. Its aim is to kill
competition and establish monopoly. 1t
strives to control production, labor and
wages in order to limit them. 1t seeks
to master markets and prices in order to
tribute from the masses to swell the
profits of the trust capitalists. One
thing should be made perfectly clear
and that is that trusts shall not be al
lowed to undermine the business well
fare of the country and pray upon the
people with impunity. They are deadly
foes to legitimate trade and popular in
terests, which should be condemned by
the voice of the people and suppressed
by the law of the land.
The sentiment of the people is over
whelmingly averse to the existence of
these menacing and burthensome i'm
pediments to the free course of GEM
merce and industry among the people,
and in view of this well known fact the
wonder is often expressed that good and
efficient laws cannot be enacted to sup
press the evil, or If enacted are not ell
forced. The people certainly have the
power in their own hands to secure what
they desire and demand in this connec.
ton and when the demand is properly
asserted it will be done; but so long as
those who are chosen to make and en-
force the laws are permitted to play the
people false in either capacity, just 80
long will the evils complained of con-
tinue. A few examples made of
recalcitrants would bring change-it
is doubtful that it will come from any
other cause or course.

political, social and industrial features
