done was to appoint a committee to in

York, to address the convention. The

favor of seating both delegations from

rules of the Reed house and Denver con-
vention were adopted. Warner Miller
then addressed the convention. Mr.
Miller argued forcibly against the tariff
being taken out of politics. Gen. Samp-
son, Of Arkansas, moved to amend the
rules so that the election of secretary
shall be referred to the executive COM
mittee. As that was regarded as move

FOREIGN WOOL MARK EFT.

The London Sales of july Are Ex
pected to Settle Prices.
The following is from the circular
letter Of Justice Bateman Il Co. (Phia,
delphia). wool commission merchants.
under date of June -:
Although foreign markets for some
weeks have been weak and dragging
with prices at the bottom and European
holders eager to dispose Of their surplus
ia the United States, the probability Of
higher prices has not teen lost sight Of
abroad. Telegrams recently received
from France speak OF movement Oh
foot there for buying wool On specu.a-
ton. AS French buyers held aloof from
the recent London sales and showed
more apathy than buyers from other
countries, the move toward higher prices
from that source comes with greater
surprise than if having its source il
almost any other nation, Foreign WOO.
circulars just received. while admitting z
no reaction in prices as yet, discuss the
probability of wool having ita upward
turn in time because go many other
articles OF produce have advanced The
most hopeful speculators admit that
statistical evidence and calculations
point in the other direction, but give as
reasons for higher prices that when
| the most convincing and conclusive evl-
dence of the course Of prices is all figured
| out, the market is sure to work in the
opposite direction" 1t is also claimed
that as wool is below the cost of produC-
tion there is general belief that it can t
be lower, and nothing is to be lost in
speculation on the present basis and that
universal belief in higher prices is
likely to bring higher prices. AS the
next London sales, which open on the
3rd of July, will settle the question, un-
usual interest is felt IN the opening
prices there.

As finished reading the cold. blooded
document, with it's diabolicslly stheistio
assumption that God Almighty made
four tifths Of the human race to labor
until they shall cease to have souls in
order that a successful" few may lord
it over them and live upon their stolen
earnings, I turned, in the very same is-
sue Of the Capital, to an item headed,
"Ssd Case of Dsstitution;" and there 1
read that while that internal message
was falling upon the Legislators like
Lord Elden's "teRrs that sometimes
broke orphans heads" the secretary Of
the associated charities was, within
sight of the state house, busy sending
relief to widow and three children who
were 'out Of food, clothing and fuel"
In that same item l read that since the
lss day of January, that is within
fifteen days, the associated charities had
furnished AIS meals to people who were
starving, and that fifty two people were
fed at the associations quarters the very
day that SatRn-inspirsd message was
sent to the legislature. Kansas is full
Of such misery. In every city hungry
men, whose cold and hungry families
wait at home, are daily, on limbs weak
from fasting, going their weary rounds
in vain quest of work. The coal miners
of Kansas are actually dying OF slow
starvation, while their insufficient wages
are beaten lower and lower by the greed
Of employers and the fearful conditions
which prevail. Charitable people are
soliciting through the press donations
Of old shoes and cast off clothing to en-
able the children of poverty to 60 to
school. More and more working people,
everywhere unwsnted by employers, are
forced to wander from place to place in
search Of bread and work until they
throng the highways in unprecedented
armies, and are driven by the police
from city to city as dangerous pests.
Never have there been conditions in
Kansas so appealing to the sympathies
Of warm hearted men and women: and
to the credit Of hundreds, be it said the
appeal has not been unheeded. But not

generally remodslsd, so as to protect
the interests and rights Of debtors and
mortg9gors, against the greed and in
humanity Of creditors and mortgsgees.'
Was Governor Martin mistaken? Car
it be possible that, before the enact
msnt Of the redemption law and the
rise Of Populism, money lenders were not
''lenisnt," but some means were re
quired to protect debtors and mortgsg
ors against "the greed and inhumsnity
Of creditors and mortgsgeesP" Which
republican governor has rightly judged
the character Of "our Eastern frisnds"-
Martin or MORRILL,
And in that same message, six years
ago, was this caution to the legislature;
''The percentage Of taxation should not
be increased. The financial condition ol
the people forbids this" and this pointed
suggestion: "As nearly all the members
Of the present legislature were elected
on a platform which explicitly declares
in favor Of a reduction Of existing rates
of interest, and the imposition of severe
penalties for usury, this subject will, nc
doubt, receive your early and favorable
attention"
At the election in 1888, an amendment
to the state constitution was adopted
concerning alien ownership Of Kansas
lands; and in his message Governor
Martin said: "Ths we'll, understood pur-
pose of this amendment was to permit
the enactment Of laws prohibiting the
accumulation Of vast landed estates by
aliens. Such Rccumulstions are detri-
mental to the interests Of the state, and
should be made impossible. Oompre
hensiVe and stringent laws, embodyinG
the spirit Of the amendment above re-
cited, should be enacted at the present
session Of the legislature" The same
message urged drastic legislation against
trusts and stern control Of railroad cor.
porstions, and generally, must have been
calculated to render Eastern capital OK
ceedingly "timid." WHAT was the mean
ing Of it ali? We're the capitalists Of

declaration that the party was In favor
