A New Man.

Some of the prophets are sayits
that Harrison is the logical" candi-
date for 1896, others say that Mckin-
ley is, and still others say that new
man will come to the front in the in
terval and carry off the prize. This
guessing is easy and fascinating, bit
at this early stage of the game it does
not satisfy anybody, not even the
guesser. OF course it is the Cleveland
precedent that gives Harrison a place
in the guessing, for if anybody else
but Cleveland had been nominated by
the Democrats and elected last year
nobody would ever think of Harrison
again in connection with the Presi-
dency If the tariff question should
be side-tracked in 1896 neither Has-
rison nor Mckinley would have any
chance for the nomination. In any
contingency, however, there is less
risk in betting on the new man" than
on any particular one of the old men.

Governor McKinley's Speech.

Governor Mckinley has no apology
to make for protection. His speech
before the Ohio wool-growers was
inspiring and confident, His ring
ing declaration. Il do not believe in
giving up the fight after one engage
ment and one defeat" expresses the
overwhelming sentiment of the Re-
publican party. The steadfast cham
pion of protection bases his advocacy
of that policy on the only foundation
broad enough to lend it stability and
permanency. Gov. Mckinley favOrs
protection for all American interests,
and is unalterably opposed to "having
commodities free at one end of the
factory and fairfield at the other end.
If Republicans firmly maintain this
principle throughout the coming
free-trade experiment the future of
protection is secure.

The Free Material HumbuR.

When the free trader is announcing
the great captures" of trade this
country will make in the markets OF
the world with the help of free raw
materials it never occurs to him to
explain why we are not already in
possession of those markets in the
very important lines of production
which have enjoyed free materials for
years. Take for example the three
classes of raw materials, pa per stock,
silk and cotton. They are all absO-
lutely free of duty If the free trade
theory is correct we should be export
ing immense quantities Of paper, cot
tons and silks to the captured mar
kets. But we do nothing Of the kind.
On the contrary, our imports of
those very things far exceed in value
our exports Of them, as will be seen
by the following figures for 1892:
Imports. Exports.
Cottons. SIS, sSs,s4l s13, 226, 81
Paper and its manufac-
lures. .................-.. 33i2,34 1.362,1sl
The trouble with the free trade
theory is that it overloOks the real
obstacle to any very extensive con-
quests in the markets of the world.
That obstacle is the high wages Of
American labor. The only entry to
the foreign market at present in
most lines of American manufacture
must be by way of a reduction in
American wages to the European
level

DOES the microbe lurk in the green
back? Is the dread peril of contact
with bacteria affronted when one
grasps the few wisps of greasy green
paper which represent his weekly
wages? Must we send our salaries to
be washed every week before daring
to put them into our vest pockets. or
to hand them over to our wives?
Must we exact a guarantee from
Uncle Sam that he shall not give
forth contagious diseases with his
issues of legal tender? These are
questions which are asked on all
sides. Most people will grab all the
greenbacks they can get, even If the
money be scaly with microbes; but
meantime the Government owes US
security from infection. The Treas
ury Department must borrow q

to send forth bills innocent of harm.

AtchisOn Champion: One Of those
strictly substantial farmers who have
made Mitchell county one of the fore
most in north central Kansas, is j. A.
Hazeltine, the wheat king of that coun-
ty. His wheat crop in tho last two
years has averaged him $4,000 bushels
year. He believes Kansas farming
pays. He sowed 700 acres last fall, and
it is doing we'll. He owns seven quar-
tiers and is the possessor Of tho only
steam Flow IN that county. He has If
ty head of horses and as many head Of
cattle. He located in that county in

the start. He says anybody can make
money farming in Mitchell county if
he attends to his business.
From Hutchinson: Delegates are

of tho state Masonic home for INDECENT
Masons. The joint committees of the

recommend the grand lodge founding

In the olden times what is now
known as "typhus fever" was known
by the names of "jail fever" "putrid
fever" and spotted fever" Its
present name is from the Greek word
"typhus," which means "a mist, and
refers to the great stupor which is
one of the symptoms of the disease.
1t is an eruptive disease, highly con-
tagious, and formerly much more
fatal than now. Persons infected
can be removed into clean, healthy
quarters, where the air is pure, and
be nurSed to health with compare
lively little danger to the attend
ants. 1t only breeds where there are

would have taken eighty electoral
votes from Cleveland's column and
would have given 224 electoral votes,
a majority of the Electoral College,
to Harrison.
These are facts which all Republi.
cans will do we'll to bear in mind.
Democratic and Mugwump assertions
about a popular uprising" in favor of
Grover Cleveland are falSehoOd and
rubbish. The election statistics show
that nothing of the kind occurred.
They afford no reason for Republican
dependency, but ample reason for
Republican confidence. If the Re-
publican party is true to its princi-
plies and its record it can command
victory in 1896.

AS REsCUEs from peril are being
credited to Providence, a recent case
at Victoria becomes of particular in
tereSt. A man fell into the water
there, and a rope was thrown to him,
by which he was pulled ashore and
saved from drowning. Nevertheless,
the man was lifeless. as the rope that
kept him from drowning had choked
him to death. The exact relation of
Providence to this melancholy cpl
sode forms nice study, and why
Providence should have striven to
have kept man from perishing one
way, and at the same time slaugh-
tered him by other means, only adds
to the complications.

His Future Behind Him.

Gen. Weaver feels proud of the
popular vote which he received for
President, but the fact remains that
Fillmore, the Know-nothing candi-
date for the Presidency in 1856, re-
ceived almost as many votes when
the population of the country was
only little more than third as
large as it was in 1892. Moreover,
Fillmore's party had virtually disap-
peared from the stage four years
after the time that he was its stand
ard-bearer. History is extremely
likely to repeat itself in this case.
Undoubtedly Populist strength cul-
minated in 1892. Viewers future is
all behind him.

STOCK AND FARM.

Jewell City Republican: Nearly
everyone who has piece Of alfalfa will
SOW more in the spring. Alfalfa is sure
to solve the pasture and hay problem.
Grenola Chief: H. A. Humphrey lost
six head of his thoroughbred Galloway
cattle in Richard VOLTS stalk field. He
thinks the cause was lack of sufficient
water.
ElDorado Advocate: W. A. Ander-
son, of Pontiac, says that his seventy
five-acre patch of wheat is in excellent
condition. This winter weather of ours
portends bountiful crop.
Kensington Mirror. Nearly every
farmer in this part Of the county is
keeping from 1000 to 1000 bushels OF
old corn for an emergency. A short
corn crop would not hurt our people
very much.
Jewell City Republican: Elder Sell
ers says the produce OF his Jewell
county farm has brought him 81, 500 in
cash during the past two years, besides
furnishing home and the greater part
of the family living.
Neosho Falls Post: Farmers about
Piqua are talking Of putting in some
flax again this year Notwithstanding the
hard experience they had with it in the
past two seasons. They say the ground
will be in good condition when spring
opens.
Sharon Springs Times: A typical
stock farm is that of Smith Il Rice,
located near town on the Smoky river.
This farm has 1880 acres under fence
and is stocked with fine draft horses.
The farm also feeds large number OF
beef steers.
Cedar Vale Star: Hugh Hines IN
loaded lot OF cattle Friday night that
he bought in Missouri and shipped in
to feed out till ready for market. He
now has eighty coming three and 100
yearlings in his lots and plenty Of feed
OF his own raising to tit them for mar
ket.
Cedar Vale Star: James Latter is
one among our farmers who makes
money in farming. Some two years
and half ago he bought the Hawkins
farm adjoining his own and put pur-
chase mortgage on the place Of $3.50.
He has paid it of, the time to run not
having half expired.
Arkansas CITY Traveller: Frank
Hutchinson sold blooded pig to Drury
Warren, a few days ago. The pig cost
Drury S25 and he weighed just twenty
five pounds One dollar pound is
pretty high for blood. A few days
since Frank made another trade. He
gave pig for team Of horses.
Jetmore Herald: j. C. Long had
several wagon-loads Of ice hauled and
packed around his fruit trees. Mr.. Long
has as fine lot Of young fruit trees as
can be seen anywhere in western Kan
sas. Last spring they began to bud in
February and were killed by frost in
March, and he thinks by packing ice
around them they will not bud % early
and will thereby escape the frost. The
scheme will be watched with much in
terest.
