KANSAS BALLOT MISTAKES.
Names of Democratic and Populist Elec-
tors Repeated in Wrong Places.

~ Va DeuuOCTallC ana fOpullSG ElCc-
tors Repeated in Wrong Places.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 2s.-Letters and
kilograms to the fusion chairmen re-
port that in Rush, Stafford and one or
two other western counties the local
printers have transposed two names on
the Democratic and electoral tickets
so as to make the James of Logan
and Roetzel appear on the Democratic
ticket twice and those of Perry and
Pitts on the Populist ticket twice. At
the first glance it appeared to Chair
men B~reidenthal and Love that the
mistake had been made by the printing
company of Topeka which furnished
the plates to the local printers. This
impression, however, was soon re-
moved, it being shown how easy it was
for a printer to make the t@ransposition.
The opportunity to make the mis-
take was given by Secretary Pepperill
of the Democratic committee, who, in
arranging the electoral ticket, placed
the three electors at large at the bot
ON. Breidenthal, in Certifying the
Populist ticket to the Secretary of
State, arranged the electors in the Or
der originally nominated by the two
conventions. The Topeka printers
sawed the plates into columns and
these columns into equal lengths, two
OF the electors coming on the second
length. So in making the ballot up to
be printed it was easy to make the
mistake complained of, and as the mis-
takes SO far reported are in Republican
counties, the ~fusionists are ready to be-
ieve that fraud was intended. For
%tunately it is not too late to correct
the mistakes, although the printers
who made them will have to do the
work over again.

"A Texas Fusion Deal.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 2S.-The fusion
In this district between the Republic
n and Populists was consummated
last night by an arrangement to
have everything go under the
Republican heading. This will
make a ticket comprising Republican
electors, Populist State ticket and
fusion congressional, county and pre-
cinct tickets. There will be only two
full tickets on the ballot now, viz:
Democratic and Republican. This is a
scheme that will be worked all over
the State.

hugh Lee, consul general at Havana,
has given up his proposed visit to his
home in Virginia, which he had ex-
pected to make within the next few
days. The determination to remain
at his post is understood to be
due to the reports current il tho
United States that he is dissatisfied
with his instructions and desired to be
relieved. AS his return might give
seeming approval to the reports, he
has determined to give up the vacation
he had planned, although he is much
in need Of a change of scene, owing to
the h~ardships Of the Havana climate
during the last six months.

The mustard law Is beginning to be
enforced. This law may look nice on
the statute books, but it is one of those
legislative productions that lose BY CLOS
er examination. It may in some cases
destroy the injurious mustard weed, but
always leaves seed more detrimental
than the one it destroys hard feeling
among neighbors. We have an entomo-
logist, probably biologist, an agricul-
turist and a botanist. Why then would
MT it be proper undertaking for one Of
these learned gentlemen to discover
some satisfactory means for destroying
wild mustard? Let them puzzle their
