rHs s1rUAr1oN IN KANSAS.

A concensus of admissions, Of pre-
dictions, and of opinions, gathered from
the papers Of all the parties, from the
central committees of both sides, from
! many men and varied sources, indi-
Gates a number of things, but nothing
so clearly as that there has been a
marked change in the state, politically.
within a very brief space OF time. The
situation is radically different from
| what it was even a month ago. 1t
might be hard to designate what has
brought the change about to point out
the thing which has caused old time
Republicans everywhere TO become so
| emphatic and so confident as to what
is their duty individually, and what
they will do. 1t is not the result of the
presence of any great speakers Of ma
tional prominence, of extra campaign
demonstrations or the like, for there
has been almost a total absence of
these. 1t must be the result of calm
reflection and after determination of
the best thing to do, everything con-
sidered. Disparaging comparisons of
platforms are no longer made. Rep
publican NOMINEES are now being
praised and defended rather than criti-
ciZed, and an expectant tone of hope
fulness is heard coupled with new
promises of national Republican vic
tory in November. The universal de-
sire for the better times of settled
and well defined national policy, such
times as would be sure under Repub-
lican policy, with Mckinley at the head
of affairs, is no doubt proving effec-
tive and swaying the many. This de-
sire becomes the stronger with every
man when he reflects, as every indi-
vidual for himself must, that the cleo
ton of Bryan on the Chicago platform
would involve too many desperate
chances of disaster with but slight and
uncertain promises of good. The all
around result is unitinga and strength
ening Of the Republican lines every
where. The Republican who votes for
Mckinley will vote not only for his
state ticket but for his county ticket,
will vote as a Republican for his
party's nominees from top to bottom.
Not only is Morrill, stronger by thou
sands of votes than he was month
ago, but Republicans throughout the
state are rallying to the support of
their congressional nominees, knowing
that a Republican president must have
a Republican congress behind him.
This also includes the candidates for
the legislature which must elect a
United States senator for Kansas in
January There is much talk of large
numbers of Democrats in every county
who will not swallow Leedy and his
Populist conferees, but Republicans are
putting little faith in. and making NO
count of such talk. The Republicans
are strong enough to carry nine coun-
ties out of every ten in the state over
the combined opposition and they pro-
pose to proceed to do it,
Kansas is her Republican self today
and will be so in November.

the life or character Of these two men.
The one is, in evry sense, what the
other was not, and the comparison lies
in the striking and self-evident con-
trasts Lincoln was an unselfish pa
triot, actuated solely by his love or
country; Bryan is an adventurer seek
ing only his own promotion Lincoln
appealed to the understanding and the
sense Of justice which could not, nor
would not tolerate the enslavement or
a race; Bryan appeals to the low preJu-
dices of a class, only to capture their
votes in the coming election. Lincoln
rendered to every man his due. as evil
denced by his pleading with the south
to lay down their arms and submit TO
an equitable arrangement for manu-
hitting their slaves Bryan appeals d-
rectly to his hearers to aid him in re-
pudiating half the nations debt. Lin
coin looked forward to the end and out
come of the great issues which brought
contending armies in deadly conflict;
Bryan sees nothing and cares Tor notn-
ing beyond the returns Of the Novem-
Der election, though it Is certain that
his election would precipitate social
and financial chaos. Lincoln was
warm at heart and sympathetic in his
nature, taking to his own bosom the
griefs and Affections of the most hum
Bile citizen of the land; Bryan is cold,
calculating and Indifferent to the cry
of the laboring classes for bread and
sympathy. He pirates much upon
their wrongs and expressions, while he
advocates a policy which would bring
nothing to them but misery and want
Lincoln was logical. argumentative
and conscientious in every pubic
statement; Bryan is superficial, dog
matte and reckless to the last degree.
Lincoln chose for his advisers the best
and most competent men OF the nation;
Bryan calls to his aid the Iillmans, the
Altgelds and the filth-reeking hosts OF
Tammany as his trusted lieutenants.
Lincoln came Of humble parentage,
fighting with adversely, and rising on
his merits TO the highest honors this
world had to bestow; Bryan ascends
from a pompous, idle village urchin,
boosted by an easily acquired diploma
from a one-horse college, to sporadic
nomination in a convention sadly in
need of candidate Lincoln served the
age in which he lived, and died a
martyr to the cause Of American free
dom; Bryan will parade his brief day
amid the shouts Of the curious. only
to drop into obscurity when the torch
and the fiambeau of the campaign have
gone out.
Abraham Lincoln and William j.
Bryan may have some qualities in COM
mon, but they were not twins.

the exponent of their doctrines. The
state convention of Pennsylvania in tn
early spring declared for single gold
standard and in the fall reconvened the
same convention and resolved for sill
yer Is to 1. The Democratic state
convention Of New Jersey did exactly
the same thing. The New York DEM
ocratic state convention Endorsed both
the platform and nominees of the Chi
cago convention and then nominated a
single gold standard man for governor
and later repudiated him because he
refused TO repudiate himself. Con-
ceding that the only issue of the cam
paign is money tire are thousands up
on thousands of goldbugs who propose
TO vote for Bryan and free silver.
There are other thousands who believe
that the value of all money is but the
fiat of law who grows hoarse in pro-
claiming that an ounce of silver is
worth 81 % and who will cast their
votes accordingly. There are Popu-
lists who saw the air without ceaslng
in the interest Of the laboring man
whose votes viii go to Bryan, who
never did a days work in his life. and
for Sewall, the plutocratic millionaire,
head of one Of the largest trusts in the
country, and against Mckinley, whose
very prominence in political life came
of his efforts in behalf Of the working
man.
Is it all blind partisanship; or, below
and behind it all, hidden away, Kept
out of sight, and Kindred from PUBIC
discussion, is there another issue which
is the real issue, an issue embracing
not only the principles upon which the
government was founded. but when
holds, unsolved, the problems OF a bet
ter civilization, and a rule which VIII
better conserve the chances, better pre-
serve the rights of the many?

GERMAN ANTI-OPTIoN Law.

Germany's Farmers Alliance. The
Bund der Landwirthe, has at last gain
ed a point. Its arti-option scheme is
now a law. It's object is the same as
the Hatch bill contemplated in our con-
gress, that is to get better prices for
their produce by eliminting the gamb-
ling manipula ton of the market. The
law provides for an elaborate system OF
state supervision; for a rigid inquiry
into all companies desiring to list
stocks and bonds, as a condition of ad-
mission; for fine and Imprisonment in
the case of all persons fraudulently
misrepresenting facts bearing on the
value of securities. and for minute
code of internal discipline among the
members. The federal council IS en-
powered to forbid all time contracts,
or to allow them only on certain con-
ditions. Time contracts in mining and
manufacturing shares are forbidden,
and allowed in other cases only II the
company capital is (abouD) $5,OOO,OOO.
Time contracts in grain and mill pro-
ducts are forbidden. When time con-
tracts are allowed, they are only per-
mitted to persons whose names, doml-
cile, and occupation are entered upon
judicial register, upon payment OF
fee. and if both parties to time con-
tract are not SO registered, the con-
tract is void. 1t is these provisions
with regard to time contracts, l. e., con-
tracts for future delivery, futures"
'bear'' sales, Options" all species OF
contracts making it for the interest OF
one side that prices should go lower,
which make the law chiefly noticeable.
The rest of it is nothing more than
skillful scheme Of bourse regulation,
which in Prussia is an administrative
matter, just as with us it is a voluntary
matter, to be arranged by the members
Of the exchange. For instance. the law
excludes whole classes Of persons from
dealing on the exchange, e. g., women,
persons adjudged bankrupt, and even
insolyents; this, of course, would not be
a matter of government regulation here
at all. The provisions against fraud
are such as, in some form or other,
exist in all countries.
We will soon have q chance to know
just how an anti-option law viii work.
The Germans will obey the law. There
ace no courts in that country able to
declare it unconstitutional; the govern
mcnt is powerful and capable OF en-
forcing the enactment 70 the strict let
ter. Some people think that the law
will drive dealers in grain out of the
country, and that perhaps Rotterdam
may attract all business Of this de-
scription hitherto transacted IN Ger
MANY. To meet this difficulty the
reichStag has passed resolution. 1t
has authorized the imperial govern
ment to call an international confer
ence looking TO The abolition of time
contracts everywhere. The confer
ence would, we suppose, not overlook
the important part which the cable
nlavs in the matter. Through 1t the
rascally operators telegraph from Liv-
erpool. Chicago, and New York the
grain market quotations, and by this
means a price may be quoted in Berlin
completely upseTtiIig the figure Just
officially estaDlis letl.
