JUST COMMON SENSE.

If Kansas wants to see and expert
ence a return OF good times then Kan
sas must go with the country for Me
Kinley. If old Sedgwick county wants
to be in the swim then Sedgwick coun-
" must go with Kansas. Sedgwick
county should, for her own good, be in
touch with the incoming Republican
state administration and for reasons
which the average intelligent man well
understands. AS for the two tickets,
respectively. now before the people of
Sedgwick county, there is no possible
comparison. We have the first man TO
find yet, Republican or Pop, who
knows every man on the Fusion ticket
Some of the candidates were never
heard of before their nomination. The
Pop combine nominated men for the
legislature who are unknown outside
Of their townships and who never had
any experience in public life of any
character. There are man on the Demo
Pop combine ticket whose names can
not be called by one voter in ten in
the county. And this is the class Of
men 10 whom the people of Sedgwick
county are asked 10 turn over all their
public affairs and take the chances.
Every MAN on the Republican ticket is
a tried man. Every man is well known,
known TO be competent, known TO
have been faithful in the past. If COM
mon sense. reason. good judgment and
experience are 10 go for anything,
then there ought to be no question as
70 the result in Sedgwick county on
November Ord. II men are not to vote
blindly at the behest Of prejudice, but
upon the other hand. are TO vote under
standingly. then there ought to be no
question as 10 where Sedgwiek county
will stand. no apprehension over pos
sible miScarriageS and scandals after
election

SHIPPING WHEAT TO INDIA.

In a few days over 10000 tons Of
wheat will be shipped from San Fran
cisco to India. There has been great
deficiency in the wheat crop OF that
country. In some districts scarcely a
drop of rain fell form seedtime to har-
vest. The drought has wrought havoc
with the crop and the supply is so
small that great suffering is feared.
India has been one Of the great grana
ries Of the world. Millions of acres Of
fertile fields have been devoted to
wheat raising. The United States has
felt the competition. The price Of
wheat paid to the Minnesota and Dako
ia farmer has been materially affected
By the broad wheatfields of India. But
with a diminished crop, India actually
has to import wheat to keep its people
from starving.
The price of wheat has been rising
for several weeks past. There is a
shortage in Russia as well as India,
and, as the price in the American mar
ket is fixed by Liverpool, the diminish
ed supply for Europe has raised the
price 10 the American farmer. The
rise comes at a very inopportune time
for the Popocrats. When they have
been asserting the loudest that the de-
cline in the price Of wheat was due TO
the decentralization Of silver, nature
gives ti.e lie to their words.

WHO Is, AND WHY TOM REED

The most prominent figure in ma
| tional politics, bigger man than the
president of the United States, a man
W no proved himself greater in intellec-
tual resources than a majority Of all
the representative men Of America in
congress, combined against him; a
man, self-made, whom no power can
scare, and who fears nothing, is COM
ing TO Kansas. Tom Reed will be in
Wichita next Saturday. This man
who has never been confronted by any
situation that he did not comprehend
and control, who never met an opposi-
ton, however formidable, that he did
not defeat it; this leader whose con-
victions are his never varying guide,
and for which he would die rather
than relinquish; this stalwart. is COM
ing to tell the people Of southern Kan
sas the reason of the faith within him.
This uncrowned Republican prince
who holds that every man is as good
as any other man befOr the law, that
every American is a sovereign in his
own right. a leader whom the Demo
cracv. in their dread, call THE Gar,
but who has never failed TO prove him
self a Samson among philistines, is
coming from the pine-ree covered hills
of his native state, two thousand miles,
to the open prairie pastures OF Kan
sas, to plead with the people whose
history and institutions are his great
est admiration, to exhort them to
stand for the preservation of them
selves and children of all that has
rendered the institutions and govern
ment of this country the envy of the
world. a patriot is coming to talk TO
patriots, about patriotism; a political
prophet, who comprehends, TO tell
what he sees and TO warn, with reason,
his follow citizens against Whirlpools
whose sudden development and dan
gerous energy threaten to engulf the
ship of state whose white sails were
first unfurled by Washington and his
conlpartiots, and whose mighty en-
gines of propulsion were placed by Lin
coin and Grant, and which grand craft
is yet so proudly and triumphantly
bearing, in safety, the lives and for
tunes and all that is most dear of sew
enty millions of people.
Whether inspired by the roar of the
pillows which increasingly break upon |
the granite walled coast of New Eng |
land, Or Iulled by the kiss Of the prairie |
breezes that ever carreSSingly sweep |
on from mountain to sea, we are one |
people of a homogeneous hope Of single |
faith and united destiny. A mistake |
of tie majority is the mistake of all; a
triumph for the right is an individual |
for each. OF these things |
comes the Hon Thomas Bracket Reed,
speaker of the national house Of repre-
sentatives TO speak; comes not at the
beheSt of the state central committee, |
but comes of his own individual soil
citude for the political welfare of a
people in whom good sense and patriot |
ism he has confidence; comes TO the
help of a man who as our representa-
tive has been under his own eye for
Two wears past. and whom he knows TO
be worthy of preference.
He comes to talk: we will be there
to listen; and on the 3rd day of No
yember we will responsibility answer.
