KANSAS VOTING.
How the Voting Should BE Compared
Quiet Election

How the Voting Should BE Compared A
Quiet Election
TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. SIT is agreed
by both parties that the vote must be
compared with that of two years ago
when the same county officers were
elected. The same issues were at stake
that year and there was fusion in about
the same number of counties The
vote of that year. as compiled b. Sec
retary Sheldon, of the repu blican state
league, was as follows: Republican,,
1Sa, a,054; populist 114,415; democratic.
S,S15; total, 275, 344. The result of
that election was that the republicans
won 277 of the county officers voted for.
the populists 1a7 and the democrats 90.
The Australian ballot system which
was employed in the election for the
first time in Kansas was an important
factor in shaping the result, but which
party is benefited is a question that
only the count Of the votes will decide.

What the Bill Repeating the Purchasing
Clause of the Sherman Act Provides.
The bill that caused such long de-
bate in the United States senate and at
one time threatened to upset ''sena-
torial courtesy" and traditions, is not
such formidable looking affair after
all as to length. 1t is short, and debate
on it occupied nearly three months and
reports of the speeches filed five vol
umes of the Congressional Record
Here is the bill:
Be 1t enacted, etc:
That SO much of the act approved
July 4, 1890, entitled IAN act directing
the purchase of silver bullion and the
issue of treasury notes thereon, and

retary of the treasury to purchase from
time to time silver bullion to the ag-
gregate amount of 4, 500, 900 ounces, or
so much thereof as may be offered in
each month at the price thereof, not
exceeding one dollar for 371.25 grains
of pure silver, and to issue in payment
for such purchases treasury notes of
the United States, be and the same is
hereby repealed
And it is hereby declared to be the
policy of the United States to continue
the use of both gold and silver as
standard money and to coin both gold
and silver into money of equal intrinsic
exchangeable value, such equality to
be secured through international
agreement or by such safeguards of
legislation as will insure the main
tenance of the parity in value of the
coins of the two metals and the equal
power of every dollar at all times in
the markets and in the payments of
debts. And it is hereby further de-
clared that the efforts of the govern
ment should be steadily directed in the
esta blishment of such safe system of
bimetallism as will maintain at all
times the equal power of every dollar

The Organ Hopes for Much from the Sil.
yer Repeal Law.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade says:
The repeal of the silver purchase act does
good already. The business world, in every
part OF the country, reckons it helpful and the
tone Of the trade is more onfident 1t is hard
ly the time as yet for the effects to be felt to
any great extent in manufactures, but bankers
are more liberal in acco nmo dations and mer
chants more hopeful in purchase. It is we'll to
remember that the act W II do less good than if
it had been passed early IN the spring or with
out delay ter congress assembled
1t cannot now prevent several thousand fail
ureS which have already occurred or relieve
creditors from resulting embarrassments. 1t
cannot now save from loss a multitude Of man
ufacturing establishments which have closed
because the future seemed uncertain 1t will
go far to restore business confidence which was
much needed. but many expect from the meas
ure larger results than can at this late day be
realized
The action Of congress had less visible influ-
ence upon the speculative markets for products
in part because foreign markets obstinately
refused to accept the higher valuations which
spectators had tried to establish Though
people across the water award unstinted
praises to those who securei the passage OF
the repeal bill there is little disposition to pay
higher prices on that account for wheat and
cotton
In view Of tn he great abundance of money at
speculative centers the weakness OF markets
is more significant Industries could not be

Bullet Waves.

One of the interesting results of the
recent experiments in England in pho
tographing flying bullets has been to
show that the disturbance in the air
travels faster than the bullet itself.
The photographs exhibit air waves in
advance of the bullets, even when the
latter are moving faster than the veloc-
ity of sound. In one case where the
bullet was moving considerably faster
than sound travels in the air it was pre-
ceded by an atmospheric disturbance
which the moment the photograph was
taken was half an inch in advance of
the bullet. Even when the bullets
were travelling four times as fast as
sound the atmospheric disturb rbance
kept ahead of them. Com

ACCIDENT TO A BATTLESHIP.
The Boilers of the Texas Drop Out of Their
Support.

WASHINGTON, Nov. At would seem
as if there had been another blunder
by some one in connection with the re-
cent accident to the battleship Texas
at the Norfolk navy yard The acci-
dent. it is charged, was due to care
less inspection of the material used un-
der her boilers, or else to miscalcula-
tion in determining the strength of the
supports necessary to hold up the boil
ers when filed with water. What
really caused the vessel to list over and
lead people to believe she was about
to turn turtle was the breaking
of the supports under the boilers, and
almost allowing the two boilers to go
through to the bottom. Fortunately
the accident happened alongside the
dock, and did no serious damage, but
it showed that when the Texas was
designed there had not been a proper
consideration paid to the strength Of
the plates under the boilers Had the
boilers broken through when the YES
sci was in commission and at sea they
might have gone through her bottom
1t will take about Sc, 900 to repair the

..MINT AND CUMMIN."

When, of old, the rich man parted
With portion of his hoard,
And his gifts of gold and silver
In the temples treasury poured,
Pharisees, no doubt, applauded,
But the Savior spoke no word,
But the widows mite He counted
Than the rich mans largesse more;
He but gave of his abundance,
But she--all her slender store.
Now. are Dives gifts discounted
By the pittance of the poor?
aye pay tithes of mint and cummin,"
To the Pharisees He said,
"But omit the weightier matters
OF the law-put tithes ahead
OF love, justice, truth and mercy"
Are the Pharisees all dead ?
They who grind poor, pale, pinched
faces
With hand that never spares,
But like Italy's old-time brigands,
With the Church the plumber
shares,
Who devour widows houses,
And for pretence make long
prayers
They that bind the heavy burden,
They that WELD the CALLING rod,
They that pave Gods courts with
corpses
And walk DER them silver-shod,
Paying tithes, but passing over
Judgment and the love of God.
