WALL STREET WELL PLEASED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1o.-The Republican
sweep of the whole country in the election took
precedence over everything else in the talk OF
Wall street men to-day, and the stock market
was at times almost forgotten. General salts
faction is felt at the result, and bankers and
brokers predict an improvement in business
No class has felt the stagnation of the last year
and half more than the bankers and brokers,
and to them the victory of the Republicans is
more than pleasing Topeka Journal (Rep.)

THE GOVERNOR.

The office of governor of a state is certainly
a very important position, and it should be filled
by men who merit the respect of good people.
While all good people respect the office, it is
sometimes filled with men who cannot command
respect-men whose lives are full of corruption.
For instance, we point to Levi P Morton, the
newly-elected governor of New York. He has
nothing to recommend him to the people but
his money, $4,000 of which he paid for the
governorship. More than this, he is the owner
of a saloon in Washington, and, in fact if not
in name, he receives the benefits from the sales
made in that saloon. No person with pure,
clean heart can respect Levi P. Morton, even
though he be the governor of the great state OF
New York.
We might mention others who have filled that
high office, or who have recently been elected,
in other states, but we will pass them by and
come to our own state of Kansas, and will speak
of Z. N. Morrill,, the individual chosen to fill
the position of governor during the next two
wears. Morrill, has never done anything to
merit the respect of the people. He is simply
money -getter-a land pirate of the worst kind.
His true record was published during the recent
campaign We are told that this record is only
"a lot of campaign lies, )" but that is mistake.
1t was his true record and, before his term OF
office expires, the people will believe more OF
his despicable record than they do now. Al
ready he has surrounded himself with flock of
il-smeling birds of prey. Already are his
leeches preparing to fill themselves with the
life-blood of the state-the same lot OF blood
sucking vampires that formerly lived fat off the
toll and sweat and blood of the common people,
but who were turned down for a short season-
and they are very hungry now. Already is this
governor-elect preparing to aid the violators OF
the prohbtory law in cities of the first class by
falling to appoint police boards, so that those
cities may allow saloons to run, and receive a
revenue therefrom in the way of 'hnes." Yes:
we have respect for the Office of governor, but
not for E. N. Morrill,.
On the other hand, we HAVE respect for the
man who now occupies the executive office. He
is human, and has doubtless made mistakes, but
thev were mistakes of the head, and not of the
heart No man more true to his convictions
has ever occupied that important position. lie
was bounded by the Republicans, and many
hunters within our own ranks acted as
stumbling blocks to his feet He was hedged
about and beset with difiulties almost insur-
mountable. Through it all he has maintained
a cool, calm, manly mein, which is the admira-
ton, and calls forth the respect, of all right
minded people. L. D. Lewelling will ever be
remembered as the friend of the poor and, in
the years to come, many who now have only
words of criticism will respect him. Only one
man-John p St. John-has ever SO faithfully
represented the people of Kansas in the capaci-
ty of governor as has Governor Lewelling.

Industrial Union, Lamar, Mo-:


Grover stands on the burning deck, and every
Democrat has fed.
Money prejudice and whisky are the weapons
used by the old parties to whip the voters in
line.
Every time the money power turns the crank,
they grind out a few more Populists
Yes, Brother Democrat, we know where we
are. We are still in the middle of the road
Where art thou p?
God help the laborer who thinks more of the
money lords children than he does of his own
It was a three-cornered fght-the banks and
saloons OH two of the corners, and the people
on the other. The banks and saloons won.
We have no rejoicing at Republican success,
but if that was the only way to get rid of Cleve-
landism, we are not damaged any.
The man who voted for principle will feel
more comfortable these cold days than the man
who voted for a cigar.
The Populists in Bates county are hustlers
They polled 2,2S1 votes. They have the kind
of men up there that it takes to build party.
William L. Wilson, in his London speech,
said that our government was one OF the most
complex and difficult to handle in the world, and
intimated that it would not long continue. The
people of his state have concluded to discon-
tinue him. They knew Republican was bad,
but ANYTHING in Gods world before him.
The Democrats elected the coroner in st.
Louis. If he had been for the whole state
instead of the city of St. Louis, what a job
he would have had on his hands.
'If you SOW to lie, you will reap damna-
ton" That's scripture, and we recommend it
to the prayerful consideration of the old party
politicians.

LONDON TIMES ON THE BOND ISSUE.

LONDON, Nov. I6.-The Times says: The
effect Of the American loan on our money mar
ket promises to be very small 1t will probably
prevent the flow from America to Europe OF
gold, but can hardly attract much gold from
Europe. 1t is only to be hoped the stipulation
for gold payment will not lead to premium IN
the metal as result. The kind of boycott OF
the currency dollar by the government itself is
an experiment of much interest to the world at
large. For American citizens the interest must
be mingled with uneasiness. If the new bonds
come to Europe, it does not follow that we will
pay for them in gold. The new issue is merely
the means for the creation of a new eXportable
article, by which America may hope to turn
the exchanges in her favor. This new issue
will tend to increase the worlds effective gold
supply, first, by freeing hords of gold second,
by increasing the note issues, SO economizing
the use of greenbacks and all government cur
rency which rest OH the governments promise
to pay i'll gold.

SENATOR PETER attributes to Mr. Cleveland
an uncomfortable ambition to become the leader
of the Republican party He says that the tar
if having been disposed of for decade at least
there is no issue between the two political par
ties but the silver and currency questions, and
upon these the president is just as much Re-
publican as John Sherman or Benjamin Har-
rison, William Mckinley or Tom Reed. Mr.
PETER believes that before the next election the
people of the country are going to divide on a
preference between two metals or one as money,
and that Mr. Cleveland, by the logic of his po-
sition, will be the head chief of the gold-bugs.
And, strange as this suggestion may seem, a
large number of other men believe it.-Chicago

PRINTING "for and against the constitutional
amendment" in small type was, in great meas
ure the cause of its defeat. One-half of the
people did not notice the two small lines at she
end of the ticket. They should have been
printed i'll Plea type, like the Others. The
opinion prevails that it is illegal. 1t is an un-
pardonabe discrimination, for which the peo-
pie are not responsible. We demand that the
question be re-submitted to the voters at the
next election.-Pleasanton Herald.

WE are sorry that the New England Home
has been compelled to suspend publication from
lack of support 1t is shame and disgrace
that so many of our reform papers get such poor
support from reformers(O. We sometimes
wonder if great many of our reforners are
not in the reform parties because it costs them
less than if they stay in the old parties. 1t
sometimes looks that way.

MosT people seem to regard reform work as
luxury, to be indulged as an inspiring pastime
the crisis comes, they speedily retire to the fold
of the existing order of things, and cling close
to the corrupting systems which they have erst-
while essayed to reform New England Home.

IN SAFE HANDS.

Lincoln county is blessed with hav-
ing at the head of its affairs officers
that very few counties in the State can
boast. In fact, from sheriff down to
constable of the beat, no county can
boast of a more honorable or gentle
manly set of officers. Were it left to
the voters of the county, Rube, as he
is Familiarity called by the people,
would not be required to enter into a
bond. either as sheriff or tax collector,
so great is the esteem and confidence
they have in his fidelity as an officer
and citizen. 1t can be truthfully said
to Mr.. McNair's credit that during his
long service as sheriff and tax collec-
tor, he does not owe the county or
State ONE CENT, and stands before the
people as one of the strongest if not
foremost men within her borders, and
can be elected to any office of trust he
may ask for. We, in common with our
people, are proud of our sheriff, and
our word for it, kickers and one-gal-
fused galoots have no just ground for
complaint. The record of our sheriff
is too pure and straight to be injured
by those who would stoop to anything
low to control the affairs of our coun-
ty.
The following certificate from the
Chancery Clerk will remove all doubts
as to the rumor that Mr.. McNair is be-
hind with his settlements as tax collec-
tor of the county.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inhamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

HON. A. NJ. NEWMAN.
biography of the Populist Nominee Tor
Congress.

The Clarion-Ledger of last Thurs
day publishes the following authentic
and interesting biographical sketch oil
DIR. A. M. Newman. the Peoples party
nominee for Congress:
DIR. A. NJ. Newman, the gentleman
who was nominated as candidate TOT
Congress in this, the seventh district,
is quite young champion OF the yea
la platform, being only 80 years OF age
He is. however, quite well and favor
ably known in Jackson and other
places in the district, having served a
term in the Legislature as fiotorial
Representative from the counties OF
Franklin and Lincoln, and by close at
tention to his duties and serving care
fully the wants and demands OF his
constituents. he won their full conf
dence and esteem.
DR.. Newman was born in Jefferson
but is now a citizen of Franklin, where
he has lived about ten years. He at.
tended the common schools OF his
county until about grown and then
| took a course in the State University
at Oxford, so he is pretty well prepar-
ed for the fray that is before him.
He married early in life and has an
| interesting family of seven children
His profession is that of a physician
though he lives upon and cultivates a
good farm.
Three years ago DR.. Newman, then a
| Democrat, was converted to the Al
| lance faith and elected to the Legis.
| lature as an Alliance Democrat ticket
Since that time he has been leader
| in the so-called reform movement, and
is in close touch and sympathy with
his followers.
About the first of September DR.
Newman says he will enter upon an ac
tive canvass of the district, and that
he will meet the Democratic standard
bearer on the hustings, asking or Civ
ing fair division of time.
The Populite candidate was asked if
he was acceptable to the Prohibitionists
of the district, and replied that ne
| did not know. but had heard no OBJ
| jections raised" 1t Is highly probable
| he will receive their endorsement anc
support in the canvass, and 1t is pref
| ty generally understood his nomina
| ton over DR.. Robinson by such an
| overwhelming majority, "a to 8, was
largely due to the Prohibition sentl
ment which pertained to the conven
ton.
DR.. Newman was asked what coun
ties in the district he felt confidence
in his ability to carry, but begged &c
be excused from answering that ques
ton. From members of the conven
ton it was learned, however, that the
Peoples party feel assured of Lincoln
Copiah, Franklin and Simpson, espec
tally the two latter. They claim to be
much stronger than two years ago
that every man who voted their ticket
then will do so again, and that the
work of PROSECUTING old-time Demo
Gratis has been going on steadily anC
effectively in the interim. -CiGrion

selves able to avert, be they never so
willing.
The assertion that Mr.. McNair would
not be required to enter into bond at
all il the question were left to the vot-
ers of Lincoln county is but an idle
boast. If two bankers are unwilling
to risk him few months with $1,000
without having it amply secured by a
mortgage, it is certainly not an unrea-
sonable or over prudent thing for the
tax payers to demand the protection
vouchsafed to them by the.law and in
sist upon a solvent official bond. Nei-
ther are the Board of Supervisors, who
have long been fully cognizant of the
true situation, acquitted of their re-
sponsibility in the premises.

The attention of the Board of Super
visions is particularly called to the
weak condition of the bonds of the
county officials. But few of the bonds
men are solvent and should anything
occur that would require a suit on
these bonds, but little, if any thing
could be made out of many of them.
1t is the duty of the Board to see that
county officials are under good and
sufficient bonds and now that the mat
ter has been called to their attention
we hope they will investigate the mat
ter and insist that good bonds be
promptly given. Delay is dangerous.
