The abolition of class racers by the
American League OF Wheelmen seems on
the face to be good move. A racer in the
nature of things must be either profess

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80, 1896.
Senator Sherman with characters
tic promptness and bluntness put his
foot down on the sensational stories
saying that he had made a deal with
President-elect Mckinley, Governor
Bushnell and Chairman Hanna.
whereby he was to resign from the
Senate to become Secretary of State
and Governor Bushnell was to APP
point Mr.. Hanna to succeed him in
the Senate. Said Mr.. Sherman: 81

cept on ordinary matters. There has
not been word on the subject be-
tween either Mr.. Mckinley or Mr.
Hanna and myself. / know Mr. Ham

The impression is general and APP
parently well founded, that the legis-
lature of Kansas, at is coming session.
will favor calling a constitutional con-
yention. We believe this move is I'M
wise and wholly uncalled for. The
real animus of the whole affair is y
resubmission of the prohibition ques-
tion- If nothing else will do the pop
ulists why not let them call for a vote
on this question alone. We can see
nothing but large and useless expense
in a convention called to revise and
our state. The convention alone
would cost $3.50, 100000 at low esti-
mate and subsequent litigation test
ing the validity of new laws passed
under it would cost half million,
judging from the experience of other
states which have tried it. 1t would
be harvest for the lawyers, but the
common people would foot the bill.
Our constitution can be remedied as
occasion demands when the proper
time comes. but we have not out
grown our constitution, as yet, by any
means. The only thing we stand in
pressing need of is relief for the SUI
preme court and the people voted by
a big majority. not to increase the
number of judges only few years
ago The constitution and bylaws of
Kansas ae all right. Let 'em alone.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The legislature will be called upon to
consider the very inaRertant matter of a
constitutional convention. Viewed from
asstandpoint of politics, there are many
objections to be raised; in point of past
experience in our economic affairs, some
objections 1t is to be regretted that one
body, said to be influential and potential
hinsour commercial affairs, should be pre-
sided over by gentleman who has sby
his recent political affiliations and stand,
put himself outside of the dominant
party. 1t is further to be deplored that
in the selection of the committee to press
the matter before the legislature, Presi-
dent Mckee could seeaso many men of
financial views Numerically opposite to
those who have been placed in control
Of the states affairs for the next two
years. Politics is business; here in the
south it is SO inseparably interviewer
with every business interest that 1t is inn
possible to consider one without having
an eye to the other. The democrats Who
are in charge of the affairs of the state
will hearl5en but little to the suggestions
of Pamerites and Cleveland claquers. III
they really wish to secure a constitution
al convention let them be quiet, very
quiet, for If they get the spirit of samson
aroused they may find the structure fall
ing on the enemies of democracy to say
nothing of the i'll that may befalleall the
people-Selma Sunday Telegram.

ton of constitutional convention. That
the laws of the state. need revision and
amendment in many respects does not
admit of doubt.-ChoctaW Herald. ..,,,
