If so, TO WHAT END?

Is this whole election in Sedgwick
county to turn on the word 'Republi-
CAM" Governor Morrill, is a RepubI-
can. He has abused and discriminate
ed against Wichita, lending himself 10
Il conspiracy to break Wichita and all
its interests. including this newspaper.
The Republican ticket in this county
is a Republican ticket 1t belongs To
the Republican party, not the Republi-
can party of Southern Kansas, or the
Republican paxty of Shawnee county,
or the Republican party of Kansas but
To the Republican party of the nation.
In that national organization Morrill,
is of no more importance than the Re-
publicans of Sedgwick county. Not
of as much Importance. in fact. For
Morrill, has his one vote and perhaps
those of a half dozen underlings. while
the Republicans OF Sedgwick county
have thousands of votes The Repub-
Leans Of Sedgwick county and Nor
riu. the Republican governor of Kan
SaS have joined battle. The Repub-
lean governor has done everything in
his power 10 Shatter and break the Re-

bitionistS? Who are the true friends
of the commercial prosperity of Wich-
ita? That is what the men whose
livelihood depends on the commercial
prosperity of Wichita will decide, and
they will decide it without the aid Of
any razzle-dazzle campaign thunder
from the Populists.
They will decide whether the Re
publicans of Sedgwick county, who
have worked early and late against
Prohibition and for resubmission are
the true friends of the commercial
prosperity of Wichita, or whether the
Populists. who have truckled to the
Law and Order league, and who are
doing everything in their power 10
keep Wichita in a turmoil now, are.
And campaign rattle will have nothing
to do with their decision.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN BUBBLE.

The modern mania for speculation
was never more strikingly exhibited
than in the present rush for South
African mining stocks. That the mines
are Of almost untold richness is true
beyond a doubt, but there is limit to
the value of the output, and it is no
secret that the market price Of shares
is far beyond that value. The in
evitable collapse is openly discussed
on the London Stock Exchange. Every
body expects il, yet the buying and
selling continues, and the figures are
steadily advancing Thus far the trad
ing in these stocks have been COLI
fined chiefly to the English and Ger
man money centers. American capt.
tai has been shy of such risks. but the
mystery to us is that conservative Eng
land should pour their millions into in-
vestments which they know to be fic-
titious to very great extent IL would
seem after their experience in Argen-
tia, and their unfortunate efforts TO
take in all the iron, brewing and mill
they would, for time at least, look
well to the actual value of any prop
erty before investing so heavily, but 1t
seems the whole fraternity have lost
their heads and gone stark mad on
African mining stocks. II 1t proves
anything it proves that English in
vestors are guliible. and that they are,
in no wise, entitled to the credit they
claim for conservatism and honest,
fair dealing. Every sale represents a
transfer. from one Englishman TO an
other, hence there is no excuse that
they are outwitted by Yankee shrewd-
ness" Every sale means, to a great
extent the taking OF something for
nothing, and there is at least one tricky
Englishman in every deal. Henceforth
there need be no English homiles read
to us on moral obligations in business. !
But the gold fields of South Africa.
as indicated before, have yielded be-
yond the most sanguine expectations. |
The output in 1892 was over S24, &C., /
600, in '93 S29,000,OO0, and, it is esri-
mated that the yield of "a will reach /
Sal 100000 OF this enormous pro- |
duct. the Witwatersrand district alone /
yielded over five-sixths. Late sur
veys have shown that one gold reef in /
that district extends for miles, grad (
ually dipping, but retaining its rich
ness. Engineer Hamilton Smith esti-
mates that the richest lead in that dis
trict is ten miles in length, and dips |
to three thousand foot level. He
says it should contain ore to the value
of 81. go. 100000.
These dizzy figures are calculated to
turn the heads of capitalists, but the
mystery is that they cannot see that
it furnishes corresponding facilities for
the stock. and that the dan
ger of loss increases with each new
and as the volume of bus
mess increases. 1t is to be hoped that
the business world will not receive the
shock of another Barring Bros failure,
but if this bubble continues to expand
1t is hard TO foretell the consequences.

PURLOINED PLUMAGE

An anecdOte OF Pasteur concerns a ride
he took in cab with NJ. Duruy, the
Academic!an. When they reached their
destination the latter took out a 5-franc
piece and told the cabman to keep the
change as a souvenir of having driven the
foremost savant of the century. Not to
be outdone NJ, Pasteurs gave the lucky
Jehu similar coin, with an admonition
TO keep it in. remembrance of having
driven the greatest minister of the second
empire One OF Pasteur's distinctive traits
was his modest dislike of display. AT the
Kiel fete he might have had a great pub
lie manifestation in his honor, but he de-
clined it.

ANYTHING FOR PIE.

wick county took up the idea of re-
| submission, because of the business
/ benefits that would accrue TO Wichita
| if Prohibition could be relegated. They
/ took it up because free Kansas City
| had a distinct advantage over this city
in a commercial way so long as the
Prohibition law stood. They took it
I'D because a fine, sturdy German pop
ulation is to be found in every great
city and ON the farms around every
great city, and they did not want the
German element excluded from South
it up because as much whisky was sold
under the Prohibition law as under
a local option or high license or any
other liquor regulation. They took re-
submission UP because Prohibition
brought low, dirty, odoriferOus, illicit
Joints with it and barred out the clean,
decent saloon that paid a revenue to
the city.
The Republicans Of Sedgwick conn
~ first believed that every man should
be given personal liberty. After that
they believed that Prohibition was
commercially harmful and they
fought it.
When Rufe Cone and his outfit got be-
hind the preachers and Billy Smith and
got them to stir UP Morrill,, theRepubli,
cans Of Sedgwick county together with
the Eagle deprecated that movement.
Why? Did they do it for political pur-
poses? Did they talk about politics or
suggest politics? Did they not on the
other hand fight the foolish movement
to put this city back to the joint sys-
tenn because it was commercially harm
full, because it emptied business blocks,
because it increased taxes, because it
was obnoxious to the city, to Demo
Gratis, Republicans and Populists alike.
What have the Populist nominees
been doing all this time? Doing every
thing under the sun to keep the tur-
moil UP. Doing everything under the
sun TO make the taxes higher. Doing
everything under the sun to encourage
Tiger Bill to keep up the war because
they believed it would rebound to the
benefit of the Populist ticket Haven't
the Pophlist nominees been frightened
all along for fear Bill Campbell would
let up on his idiotic prosecutions?
Hayen't they. secretly prayed and
hoped that the war would keep up?
Has the interests of the town occurred
to them once? Do they care whether
the town is broken or not? Do they
not see in every vacant store room the
increased possibility of their own cleo
tion? If crazy Tiger Bill and the
narrow-eyed Lieurance should lay
down, wouldn't it hurt their chances?
The commercial benefits of the town
are nothing in their eyes. They have
but one idea and that is to get office.
To that idea they would sacrifice every
business man in Wichita; they would
empty every store room in Wichita; !
they would increase every mans taxes
a hundred fold; they would let every
street grow up in weeds: they would,
for the sake of getting into Office. for |
the sake of hanging onto the public |
teat for two years depopulate the town, |
every business man and con-
fiscate the property of every taxpayer.
That is the style of the Populist |
party. 1t is not anti-Prohibition. 1t |
is anything for Office. 1t is Prohi- |
bition one year and AUTHORIZATION !
the next 1t is everything, all things
for pie.
