KANSAS UNIVERSITY FUNDS.
Clerks of Several Counties Refuse to Enroll
the Needed Levy.


TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 9.-The clerks
Of Smith, Franklin Sedgwiek and other
counties have refused to place on the
tax rolls the state university levy, on
the ground that there is no law for it.
Acknowledgement Dawes held short
time ago, when the question was pre-
sented TO him, that the legislature
made the levy when it granted the
appropriation of 500. 900, but during
the same session it made specific
levies in mills and fractions for
other purposes This has been the
custom since 1889. but this year clerks,
refusing to accept the opinion of the
Encouragement. write to the auditor
Of state asking why the university levy
is not certified as other levies. 1t is
expected that the technicality raised
will tie up large amounts of taxes in
litigation.

THIS YEARS ELECTIONS.
Probable Results of the Contests In Promi
nent States.


nent states.
Elections in which governors or other
state officers will be chosen are to be
held in eleven states, which is more
than a quarter of the whole number,
this year. These are Iowa. Kansas,
Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Nebraska, New York,
New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Besides these Utah will abandon the
territorial stage and take it's place as
state this year, choosing full set of
officers. In some of these, and in a
few otner state, legislatures will be
elected which will choose United
States senators.
The most interesting of all the con-
tests are those which are to take place
in Kentucky, New Jersey, New York
and Ohio. All of these except New
York elect governors as well as other
officials. New York chooses minor
state officers, while all elect part or all
their legislatures. The legislature to
be elected in Kentucky will choose
Senator Blackburn's successor, that in
Ohio will elect Senator Brice's, and
part of the one to be chosen in New
York will hold over and elect a sue
cessor to Senator Hill, whose term ex-
pires in 1891. The interest in Ken
lucky is on account of the chances
which the republicans have of carry
ing the governorship and the legisla-
ture, and of thus securing n senator.
Their prospects are much improved by
the fight in the democracy on the sill
yer question, which is certain to rage
throughout the whole canvass, and
which is likely to decrease the demo-
cratic and increase the republican
vote.
There is doubt as to the result in
despite the tremendous majorities
rolled up for Morton last year, the out
come is somewhat uncertain. Both
states are normally democratic, al
though in presidential elections New
York has been dividing her favors
equally between republicans and DEM
ocrats for a quarter of century past.
OF course, all the votes cast for rcpub-
lican candidates in these two states in
1894 were not republican, and cannot
be counted on for the republican
tickets this year. In both states, how
ever, the chances appear to be with
the republicans. The republicans are
tolerably sure to carry Ohio for the
governorship by good-szed majority.
They will probably secure a majority
of the Legislature, also, and break this
cycle of democratic success in sixth
year canvasses which keeps the sena-
torial delegation of the state divided.
however. will cost the republicans
some votes in the legislature. but it
