TIE COURSE OF COMMERCE.

that the natural demands of interstate

change the route that force of circum-

lowing on that subject 10 the La Porte
Tex Chronicle:
Force of circumstances have laid the
lines Of commerce east, Commerce
seeks the lines of least resistance; in
other words, travels on the most con-
venient and cheapest lines. Ii is east
in this country now because force of
circumstances compelled the buildjnc

A TIMELY MOVE.

| Editor BristOw of the Salina Republi-
can informs the EAGLE that an organiza-
| ton has been effected in that place un-
| der the name of the Hamilton Club, the
object Of which is to educate voters,
through tile medium of discussion in
| matters pertaining to political economy,
preparatory to political work along party
lines. The campaign of education
inaugurated by the Democratic party
several years ago was prosecuted with
such systematic persistency that il
brought the party ultimate triumph
that it otherwise would not have reaIiz-
ed. The question of correctness or
falsity of the theories incuicated cuts no
figure in determining the effect, the re-
suit of the undertaking. We believe the
doctrines taught are unwholesome to a
thoroughly republican system of gov
eminent, but this did not prevent
their having the effect desired and
intended by the originators of the plan,
The country realizes this today in the
conditions that confront the people.
And yet it will not do to rely upon this
public realization in a general way: we
must counteract the effects that have
been wrought and there is no better way
to do this than educate the people.
We believe that the present economic
and political conditions are to certain
extent formative. That out of rapid,
material and commercial advancement
new social, political! and economic con-
ditions have arisen the solution of
which will require the most studious
efforts OF the present generation.
We believe that the Republican party
must depend for its success upon the
justice Of its principles and the wisdom
of its policies. That to be restored to
power in Kansas it must appeal to the
conscience and judgment OF the people
and that it must win their confidence.
That it can never attain success by polit-
ical nanipulations or favoring of any
special class or pandering 10 any tempo
rary craze That its work must be in
sense primitive, waged against the
social and political fallacIes that have
taken such deep root in the minds of
the people, and that in order to win tile
battles which are before us for the next
decade il is necessary that every indi-
yidual Republican who expects to take
part in the contest should prepare him
self thoroughly by beginning at the very
basis of things.
With these objects in view the organ
ization of the Hamilton club at Saiina is
a most praiseworthy move, and should
receive the hearty CO operation and sup
port of every good citizen Of that COM
munity. Nothing could conserve a bet
ter purpose as affecting the best interests
Of the whole people than the formation
of similar clubs in every city, town,
hamlet and school district throughout
the state.

The epidemic oil highway robberies
and burgiaries of private residences now
prevailing throughout the country is but
a sequence to the financial situation.
The light fingered brigade naturally
conclude that with general distrust of
financial repositories people generally
are keeping their surplus cash at home
or on their persons, where it is much
easier to obtain than it is from the strong
vaults of the banks. If there was any
way to ascertain the facts there is little
doubt that it would be found that more
money is lost by withdrawing it from
banks, for safe keeping q, than by bank
failures
