All for Calderhead.

The Dickinson Republicans have
shown their feeling on the matter Of
the selection Of congressman and
have chosen delegation that is solid
for Calderhead's denomination. They
are likewise for the national platform
and when the denomination Of the
present congressman takes place 1t
will be on the Testament Of the prin-
ciples adopted at st. Louis last week.
The financial plank will be adopted in
full and Mr.. Calderhead will be re-
elected on that platform. The Tope-
ka Journal takes great pleasure in
quoting from papers that support the
Pop ticket sentiments to the effect
that he will be defeated and in say
ing that the words are from "Repub-
lican papers" The people Of this
section laugh at that kind Of tactics
and it is doing more than any one
thing to strengthen the present repre-
sentative with the people. 1t always
is safe to endorse the men that this
kind Of papers does not want.

accomplish something besides making
the district laughing stock as it has
been for the past four years. Mr..
Smith is not only the unanimous
choice Of the Dickinson county Repub'
licans but he will be the next senator
II he is nominated, as it is likely be
will be. There Is no gainsaying the
fact that he is the strongest man the
party in this district has for the
place. He has demonstrated bis
strength in two campaigns and is
stronger today than ever. He has
made one Of the best county attorneys
that the county ever had and the
same faithfulness will be brought to
bear on the duties Of senator. The
REFLECTOR is heartily for Mr.. Smith
for this place because Of his strength
as candidate and his superior fitness.

Their PRINCIPLES.

VIM. Mckinley: "I'll tell you, my
friend, what | think about silver, and
les what the Republican party thinks
about it. Ibelieve, and the Republi-
can party thinks, that every dollar,
be 1t gold, silver or paper, should be
equal to the other. The farmer and
the laborer, more than anybody else,
want an honest dollar. When the
farmer sells a bushel Of wheat he
must use full bushel, and when he
gets his pay he demands dollar"
Carrot A. Hobart: 1.-THE people,
whether they are or have been Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, alike believe
that the long years Of adversely which
this country is now enduring can be
succeeded by years Of great, II not
greater prosperity than the United
States OF America have ever seen, II
the administration will base its line
Of conduct upon the certain principles
Of protection and sound money. On
those two principles the Republican
party makes its appeal to the people
to help it bring the country back to
better times and happier days"

Before the Republicans Of Kansas elect
United States senator they must elect Re-
publican legislature. The first duty on hand
is to elect Republican legislature. Putting
the cart before the horse Is neither good
politics nor good sense.-[E ldorado Republic
can.
We agree with you heartily. The
attempts Of the Ingalls, men to drag
senatorial matters into the campaign
SO far in advance Of the election is to
say the least very poor policy. The
voters do not want to have the party
threatened by any such outside
affairs. The first thing is to be sure
Of legislature and tits violating no
confidence to say that II this Is not
done there is danger that there will
be no senator for the party to choose.
The Republicans are making a mis-
take in letting these outside issues
interfere with the whole-souled en-
thusiasm that ought to be felt for the
party success. Elect legislature
first.

Greater Than Edison.

President Andrews, writing in Serb.
ner's, says: "a more original genius
than Edison, veritably wizard, is his
young disciple, Nikola Tesla, who was
born in Servia, and found employment
with Edison on landing in America.
For small electric lights he dispenses
with the filaments inside the bulbs
and makes dilute air do their work. He
sends currents Of high tension through
space, without any conductor, at volt
age many times greater than that en-
ployed in electrocution. He receives in
his person currents vibrating mil
lion times second, or 200 times greater
voltage than needed to produce death.
He surrounds himself with a halo Of
electric light and calls purple streams
from the soil. His experiments are Of
the utmost promise to the industrial
world. His aim is to hook mans ma
chinery directly to natures, pressing
the ether waves directly into our serv-
ice without the Intervention Of the gen.
Grafton Of heat, in which such an enor-
nous proportion Of the energy goes to
waste-9O per cent. in arc lighting, o.
in incandescent."

No surprise was caused BY the &C.
ton Of the Republican convention.
The nomination Of that splendid
Ohioan, Mckinley, was what was ex-
pected. But the nation Is as pleased
as il the people had not looked for the
result. The more the nominee is
studied to the better advantage does
he appear. He is q magnificent ex-
ample Of the best type Of American
manhood. He is worthy the honors
Of the greatest nation under the sun.
He will inspire as great enthusiasm as
candidate for the presidency as he
has for the nomination. When a
man gets 66l votes out OF SO6 in a
national convention it is certain that
he is in demand. In this instance
the party has builded well and the
election next November will show the
wisdom Of the choice. The next
president and vice president have
been named.
The financial plank Of the Republic
cans may not suit the whole party
but 1t is the choice Of o great major
ity Of the organization after the most
careful consultation. 1t is no "strad-
die" and says just what 1t means.
The party is to be commended for Its
irankness and 1t will be to the credit
Of the delegates that they did not try
to evade or mystiiy. The platform is
a business document and will bear
careful study. 1t will do to fight for
and to enforce in the legislation Of the
nation.

it has gradually shed them and been
the stronger ior their leaving. Judic-
ious and occasional pruning may be
as beneficial and stimulating for
parties as it is in horticulture.
OF course we hear deep regret ex-
pressed that such man as Senator
Teller. who was one Of the makers Of
the Republican party, should have
felt that bis principles and those Of a
great majority Of his party are no
longer the same. For some others it
must be said there is something Of
relief that they have chosen to re-
nounce their relations to the Republi-
can party, since the suspicion has
long been existing that they are con-
trolled by political ambition, or by
other interest, and that their views
do not represent established convic-
tions.
The Republican party was strength
ened and stiffened as a sound money
party when the Greenbacks seeded
and set up a soft money party Of their
own. In the same way the Republic
can party will be confirmed in its
attitude Of hostility to the debase-
ment Of the currency and to danger.
GUS experiments with silver by the
open secession Of its free-silver-or-
nothing members.
The Republican party stands for
protection Of home industry and the
maintenance Of the existing gold
standard until free silver coinage can
be had with safety through interna-
tional cooperation. Those who can
not act tremendously with party
holding to these two principles had
better join the Populists or the DEM
ocrats. The Republican party will be
the stronger and better for their
leaving 1t.

A STRANGE scene was that which took
place in San Francisco courtroom one
day recently. Mrs. Virginia McMullin
had brought suit for maintenance
against her husband, Thurlow McMul-
len. They were married in 1871, son
was born in 1873 and they separated in
1877. During all these years they have
remained apart and the son, Latham
McMullin, now 20 years of age, has never
met his father. During the trial the
son testified to this effect. His father
was seated few feet from him but the
son swore that he had never seen him
to know him. Il may have passed him
on the street." said the son, "but never
knew 1t if l did," In the evidence italso
came out that the father and son were
employed in two business houses onlya
few blocks apart.

A NEW bunco game, new at least in
the neighborhood where 1t is being
successfully worked, is costing the
farmers and country storekeepers Of
Lane county, Ore, good deal Of
money. The swindler claims to be a
treasury detective looking for counter
felt coin. He asks the farmers and
storekeepers to submit their coin for
his inspection. He puts on the silver
dollars chemical solution which turns
them black, declares them spurious,
and takes them with him. He also i'm
pressively warns his victims that they
are liable to arrest for having coun-
terfeit money in their possession, and
causes them to keep very quiet about
the matter, thus helping him along in
his work of bunco.

Western Experiments.

The pastor Of Kansas church re-
Gently put on laborer's clothes and
sought employment in town that he
might preach on the troubles Of the
laboring classes; then he spent two
weeks in negro cabins, learning how
this class lives. Another. conscious
Of his congregations poverty, donned
painters blouse and whitewashed
the church building. A Nebraska
town made each dweller therein a
member Of a cooperative stock COM
pany that the citizens might take
more interest If municipal affairs.
1t is characteristic Of the prairie
states to be original, even startlingly
SO, and to keep themselves and their
people well advertised. =
The radical political changes and
principles have had their strongest
supporters Of past years in the prai-
rie states and it has been upon the
plains that have been most enthus-
iastically supported some recent
financial theories which have met
with scant favor elsewhere The very
atmosphere Of the vast level reach
between the Missouri river and the
Rocky Mountains teens with expert
ments and new methods. II was here
that the city lot boom had its widest
exaggeration and here that the col
lapse was greatest.
To do something different from the
rest of the country and to do it on
the greatest possible scale has been
the aim Of the prairies and its most
striking example is in its boom col
leges. For time this was manifest
in a rivalry Of denominations as to
which should secure the largest num-
Der Of schools Of higher learning, and
universities" and colleges" were
scattered with free hand over the
plains. Scores Of handsome brick and
stone buildings were erected in the
seats and even in ambitious
towns Of third class (under 1000 pop
ulation); faculties" were organized
with teachers who would scarcely |
rank with the graduate Of a Boston
high school in scholarship as deans Of
departments. The result was what
might have been foreseen. Many Of
the buildings have been deserted;
some Of the schools drag out precar-
ious and debt-ridden existence as
Cuisines colleges" and "normal
schools;' only few succeeded in
maintaining a sturdy, progressive
standing. 1t was the Vests manner
IF exaggerating good idea until,
failure resulted. The
,heory was original, perhaps, but the
out thereof proved that it
vas not practical on the scale on which
he West sought to maintain it.

Tho Free Silver Secession.

With fearful eyes and sombre Wis
ages a handful Of men who must have
free silver or nothing formally seced-
ed from the Republican party at st.
Louis. The virtual secession took
place last winter at Washington, when
group Of five senators, three Of whom
seeded at the convention, placed an
embargo on all revenue and tariff
legislation until free silver coinage
should be granted. That was the part.
Ing Of the ways. That action helped to
stiifen the backbone Of the party and
prompt the clear and unequivocal
declaration for maintaining the exist
ing gold standard at which these flee
silver men rebel. Internationally
these seceders have done the Republic
can party service By their extreme
and belligerent attitude on the silver
question they discouraged all thought
Of compromise declaration. BY
leaving the party they disembarrass
1t Of an allegiance that had become
incompatible and inharmonious and a
hindrance to intelligent expression
and decided action.
Senator Teller has done the Repub-
lican party credit in the past as SEN
ator and cabinet officer. A man OF
ability and serious purposes, he has
become a fanatic on the subject Of
free silver, until now it seems to
absorb all his thoughts and color
every speech and act Of his life. He
Is by all odds the largest figure among
the seceders. The others will not be
missed. The Republican party is
used to small secessions. tits par
ty Of progress, and those who cannot
keep up with the procession must
drop by the way. There were many
who Joined in the original platform
prohibiting slavery in the Territories
who found themselves out Of SYM
pathy with the Republican party when
it assumed the task Of suppressing a
gigantic rebellion. The procession Of
Republicans who seeded from the
party on the question Of reconstruc-
lion and Andrew Johnson's policy |
included three United States senator's
-Doolittle, of Wisconsin: Dixon, Of
Connecticut, and Cowan, Of Pennsyl-
vania--as influential and important
Al their day as these who left the con-
vention so theatrically at st. Louis;
