STAND TOGETHER FOR KANSAS.

If the state is suffering from adverse
legislation, as many believe, the injury
falls on all classes. it being impossible
that the agricultural interests should
languis and the cities prosper. Beilev-
ing this statement to be self-evidently
true. we desire to show that in Kansas
there is no necessity for a political party
which only embraces a class OF our peo-
pie. We have no fault to fiRd as to the
right of our farmers to feel aggrieved,
nor Cor them to seek remedy; but we
do differ from them as to their remedial
plans, and to their distrust of the city
dwelIers, and as to their methods and to
the men who are leading them.
The honest farmer is a phrase without
a meaning, or at least such a meaning
more and no less. He is. as class, as
honest as men in other useful occupa-
tons, and no more so. The honest mer-
chant or the honest mechanic means
Just as much as the honest farmer.
We respect all men in all occupations
who are industrious, intelligent and dill
igent in their callngs, and there is no
reason for excluding any useful occupa-
ton. AS citizens Of the state we have
community of interests, which should
be a reason for inviting all classes and
conditions of useful citizens to employ
their forces for the betterment of the
state by building up everything, rather
than by opposing class to class, and adj
vance one moiety to the detriment of the
other There cannot be short crop Of
any necessary agricultural product that
is not felt by the mechanics, merchants,
bankers and professional men OF the
cities, and the cities cannot languish
when agriculture is profitable.
We urge our people to become homo
geneous; to stand shoulder to shoulder
for their own advantage, and
the state will prosper as never be-
fore. The prosperity which in the past
few years Las come upon US is only as
drop in the bucket to that prosperity
which will reward us if We are united
for Kansas.
Parties, which are primarily only the
vehicle by means of which the people
manage their affairs, often degenerate
into machines to defeat tie will of the
many and reward the few, otherwise the
leaders, or professional poll
ticians
AS time passes it brings the reasonable
hope that Kansans will have had time to
consider, and the sober, second thought
of the people is not often wrong. Stand
up for yourselves, and your neighbors;
tor in 50 doing you will not only certain
ly prosper; but, at the same time, stand
up for Kansas.

TOO MUCH IN THE PEOPLES HANDS.

The Republican party for some years
past has been coming -, $50, 600 silver per
month to meet the demands of trade and
to keep pace with the increase OF popula-
ton and the best business interests of the
country. Wall street has always bitterly
opposed the law of Sherman as it was put
ting too much money in the hands OF the
people Mr. Cleveland will call congress
together early in September. TO repeal the
Sherman law, and make good his promises
to the men of Wall street VINO elected HIM.
--Mankato Review.
The Reviews statement, except as to
the coinage of silver, IS correct, and pre-
sents the attitude OF the present admin
As to the coinage of silver, the Review
seems to have fallen into the common
error on that point. The coinage of the
full amount of the silver purchases by
the government was continued for the
first twelve months after the law went
into effect, only, since which time no
silver has been coined except such
subsidiary coin as the secretary
of the treasury in his discretion
has deemed necessary for the conven-
fence of the government and IN answer
to demands therefor. The purchase of
four and a half million ounces of silver
a month has gone right on, however,
from the day the law went into effect,
payment for which has been and is still
made in coin certificates which are re-
deemed by the treasury department, on
demand, payment being made in gold.
And while the operation of the law has
added to the circulation of the country
the value of the monthly purchases of
silver, it has had the effect, as many be-
iieve, of Withdrawing from the treasury
something like $50, 900, 600 III gold more
than the legitimate requirements.
But, as the Review says, whatever
Wall street wants in the premises that
will be done, so far as the administra-
ton can effect it.

SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
The Number of Heavenly Bodies Is Tex
Vast for Human Comprehension.

The Number of Heavenly Bodies Is Teo
Vast for Human Comprehension.
To form some idea of the largeness
of this earth one may look upon the
landscape from the top of an ordinary
church steeple and then bear in mind
that one must view 100000 similar
landscapes to get an approximately
correct idea of the size of the earth
Place 500 earths like ours side by side,
says the Copenhagen Nordstjernen,
yet Saturn's uttermost ring could
easily inclose them. Three hundred
thousand earth globes could be stored
inside the sun if hollow. If human
eye every hour was capable of looking
upon fresh measure of world ma
terial $4,000 square kilometers large
that eye would need So, 900 years TO
overlook the surface of the sun. To
reach the nearest fixed star one must
travel 5000, 600, 900 of kilometers, and
if the velocity were equal to that of
cannon ball it would require 5000, 900
years to travel the distance. On d
c&ear night an ordinary human eye
can discover about 1000 stars in the
northern hemisphere, most of which
send their light from distances which
we cannot measure. How large they
must be! Round these 1000 stars circle
$4,000 other stars of various sizes. Be-
sides single stars we know of systems
of stars moving round one another.
Still we are but short way into space
as yet. Outside our limits of vision and
magma ton there are no doubt still
large spaces. The milky way holds
probably at-least 90, 900 stars, and
as each is sun we presume it is en-
circled by at least fifty planets. Count
ing up these figures, we arrive at the
magnitude of 1000, 955, 900 stars. A
thousand million of stars. Who can
comprehend it? Still, this is only
part of the universe. The modern tel
escapes have discovered more and sim
liar milky ways still farther away.
We know of some 5000 nebula which
represent milky ways like ours. Let
us count 1000 of them as being of the
size of our milky way, then 1000 by
20,191, 900 equals 40,3S2, 000. 900 suns, or
2,o19, 100, 000,0 900 heavenly bodies.

KANSAS LEADS.

Despite the hue and cry made over
Kansas misfortunes-which have al
ways been more imaginary than real, as
to material matters-the state stands be-
fore the admiring world the peer of the
foremost community II all that goes to
make up a prosperous and well-to-do
commonwealth. From the subioined ex-
tract from a letter TO the Kansas City
Times from its Chicago correspondent
il would seem thai in the estimation of
good many Kansas and her people are
more prosperous than any other state.
In explanation of why it so appears 10
the unbiased looker-on the correspond
ent saws:
kansas, with 1000, 600 population, is
sending twice as many people TO the
worlds fair as Missouri with twice the
population, and Kansas City with $780,
coo population has sent as many visitors
as ST. Louis with 10000. If the people
of Kansas are financially IN narrow
straits and If the mortgages are eating
up the profits rs some newspapers and
politicians daily proclaim, the inhab
itants of the Suuflower state are max
ing an odd demonstration. Up 10
date. with the exceptions of a few con-
tiguous states, Kansas has sent more
people to the fair than any other state
In the Union. And these people come
from the country, too. All the large
towns have sent delegations, but 10
date the travel has been largely confined
u the country and smaller towns. Now,
the question Is, if the farms are already
plaS,ered With a first mortgage, have
tie farmers given 4 second mortgage III
order to bring their families 10 the fair?
Il Is idle 10 argue that the farmers have
been universally prosperous, but state
of one million and h;3lf Of people which
made five separate exhibits and four OF
them credita bic, without ore dollar be-
ing appropriated 10y the legislature, and
which has sent q larger proportion Of
IFS Inhabitants 10 the fair than any other
state in the Union. with the exception
OF Michigan and Wisconsin, which Dor
der on the worlds far state, Is giving
an object lesson which the weird in
rerpgets 10 mean prosperity. Suisse
