passed resolutions setting forth that
the Populist administration had not re-
duced county expenses and taxes one
cent. The Kingman Journal comes
back by publishing statement Of the
amount OF tax paid by the members Of
that resolutions committee and one or
two Of the candidates, under the Pop
ulist and republican administrations.
Todd Cannon, chairman of the commit
tee and representative from that county,
paid from 1886 to 1890, under republican
administration, $77.92 on his 16O acres OF
land, an average of $19.4S per annum.

HOW silver Affects the Farmer.

A few republican papers know enough
and are honest enough to admit that
free and unlimited coinage of silver
would directly benefit the farmer and
that the STANDARD gold-bug declaration
that free coinage will benefit bullion
owners only, is a fraud. The Topeka
Journal briefly but forcibly states the
case in the following manner:
'The Argentine Republic Is expected
to export 10000, 900 bushels Of wheat this
year. This wheat is sold in Europe for
Is to silver dollars made from 80 to
American silver Is 1t any wonder that
wheat commands so low price in the
United States when it must compete In
that kind Of a market. The United
States congress by legislating against
silver has put into the hands Of Europe
a club with which to beat the life out OF
the farmers OF this country"

IS 1T CONSTITUTIONALY
The Act AbOIishing Judicial Districts to be
Passed On by the Supreme Court,

AnO ADO hOVAAouAAS OuWACAWA I'd 10
Passed On by the Supreme Court.
The question Of the legality of the act
of the last legislature abolishing certain
judicial districts has at last gotten
into court G. p. Aikman, of Eldorado,
presented a certificate of nomination as
the republican candidate for judge Of
the twenty sixth judicial district to the
secretary of state for filing. That OFF,
Ger declined to file the certificate on the
ground that the last legislature had
abolished the district and that the ju-
dicial district named in the certificate
did not exist but was in reality part
of the thirteenth district.
Mr.. Aikman has filed in the supreme
court petition for writ of mandamus
directing the secretary of state to file
his papers. In this petition he denies
the legality of the law on the ground
that it provides that the term of the
present incumbent, Judge Shinn, which
does not expire until the second Mon
day in January, 1896, shall expire Octo-
ber Is, 1896, and at that time the now ex-
listing district shall become a part Of
another which would deprive the pres
ent judge of an opportunity to serve out
the term for which he was elected. He
also objects to the law on the ground
that it did not pass the house by two
thirds vote, and that It was signed by
the presiding officers of the two houses
eight days after its passage, instead Of
two days.
The decision of the court i'm this case
will result in such a decision as will ap-
ply to each of the other districts in
which similar conditions exist.

THEY WON'T ENTHUSE.
No Chance to Work Up ANY Life in the
Republican Party.

State Organizer s. r. Wharton, Of the
Kansas Republican league, has thrown
up the sponge and resigned. He finds
that it is impossible to do anything and
is anxious to quit. He complains that
republicans will not come out to meet
ings and will take no interest in repub-
licanism 1t Is somewhat surprising, Of
course, that the organizer, and the
organization represented, should just
find out that this condition exists. Any
Populist could have told him about 1t
a long while ago. What have republ-
cans in Kansas got to be proud Of in
the light of the present administration,
any way? If the present adminiStra-
tion Is fair sample of the results that
might be expected from further organi-
zation and interest in the party or
ganization, no wonder the boys down in
the ranks won't come to time.
