BRYAN THE BUSTER.

The fact that Bryan carries twenty
one rabbit feet. all amputated in grave
yards at midnight, does not render his
presence in any state a happy omen for
his party, that is for the party which
he calls his own, but whose leaders
are crawling cut of various kinds OF
holes. The orator of the Platte ever
lastingly sets things wrong wherever
he goes. He had hardly left off speak
ing in Maryland before the Democratic
party Of that state was discovered to
be burst wide open. In New YORK,
where Hill had climbed down off the
fence and Thacher had agreed to swal-
low the Chicago crow whole, his pres
ence seems to have ripped things up
beyond hopes Of patching. putting Hill
back on top of the rider and leaving
Thatcher nowhere. From thence he
iourneyed to Boston: arriving there the
day OF the assembling of the Demo
cratic convention, which he duly
Grated. Results one Democrat killed
and the party left with two tickets IN
the field. His advent into the next
of Democracy is awaited
with interest upon the part of his COM
mittee. His coming to Kansas is ex-
pected to accomplish lively things in
the way Of widening the gap between
the old line Democrats and the middle
of-the- road Watson Pops.

PAN AMERICAN.

There was the crime q Of '73, and
the insanity Of the Democratic Juggling
with the Mckinley bill, but SO far as
American interests are concerned, that
which more nearly approached an
idiotic outrage was the repeal of the
reciprocity sections Of the Republican
tariff law. The South and Central
American countries were, in being
benefited, brought into closer CONNER
cial relationship with the United
States, as was the West India Islands.
Reciprocity with the South American
states, such as Blaine advocated,
would prove more beneficial to the
American farmer and manufacturer
than protection itself, if that were pos
sib}e. United States Minister to Bra
zil, Thomas l.. Thompson, informs the
state department at Washington con-
corning two important new policies
adopted by two of the greatest CONNER
cial nations of South America. The
Brazilian government has advocated
a commercial union between the Ar
gentine Republic, Chile and herself;
while Chile's president has recommend
ed an abrogation of that country's
commercial treaties with the European
nations. Such double action would
seem to signify that there is newly
awakened spirit in Latin-America in
favor Of the development of a recipro-
cal South American trade policy. This
new movement has undoubtedly re-
ceived its impulse from the recent en-
phatic revival by the United States of
the Monroe doctrine; but it appears to
be Pan-American with North America
left out. What we want is Blaiue's
Pah-American with the United States
the biggest factor in the coalition.

TT is BEING OVERDONE.

Their is, unqueStionably, a great deal
of sensational foolishnesS mixed up
with the reports which reach the world
from Turkey. No doubt the condition
of the Christian Armenian is a deplor-
able one, and that something will have
to be done by the powers to stay the
hor(es OF brutal fanatics under the sui
tan. But much that we hear is pure
scare, intended to complicate and, if
possible, precipitate some action upon
the part of England. The New York
Herald's Oriental correspondent has
been seeking 70 create Mohammedan
scare. on the theory that all Islam,
from Constantinople 10 Omdurman,
has planned to rise simultaneously
against Christendom- Some complex
ion might be lent TO this fright by the
fact that ''the Great Assassin" the
negus and the mahdi's successor have
all three drawn their swords. But his
tory reveals the erroneousness Of any
such presumption. The mahdlsts hate
the Turks, whom they denounce as the
false followers of Islam. Mohammed
Achmeds mission, as proclaimed by
him, was to set the Arab on the throne
of Gilman. The AbysSinian monarch,
who claims direct descent from Solo
mon. is meanwhile lighting for himself

A SINGLE GOLD STANDARD.

The Popocratic press has grown so
impudent with its falsehoods and gross
misrepresentation of late that one is
no longer surprised at anything it may
say. We note in q leading Demo-
cratic journal Of the country a declara-
ton to the effect that if the Republican
party is successful steps will be taken
to put the country on a single gold
basis by the retirement of the green
backs and treasury notes, limiting sill
yer, as legal tender, to a very small
amount.
Such lying is not little aggravating.
Who but Mr.. Cleveland, the head of
the Democratic party, and his secre
tary of the treasury have been declar-
ing ever since their trouble with the
gold reserve that the greenback must
be redeemed and retired. These two
worthless in the name of the Demo
cratic party are the only ones outside Of
a few insignificant Democratic conven-
lions, who have delivered any such
conviction or limited at any such de-
sire. The St Louis platform and the
speeches of representative Republicans
made in the convention and since adj
journment all go to show, with perfect
plainneSS, that the Republicans, So far
from intending TO once more demone-
tie silver, propose to do what they
can to get other countries to join in an
International ratio. There has been no
talk by Republicans in favor of wiping
out the greenbacks.
No doubt Palmer and Buckner, the
goldbug wing of the Democratic party
are at bottom in favor Of such policy,
but not the Republican party which is
the father OF the greenback.
The Republican platform is as ex-
plicit as words could make it I'VE
are" it says, opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver except by
international agreement with the lead
ing commercial nations of the world,
which we pledge ourselves 10 promote,
and until such agreement can be OBJ
tanned the existing gold standard must
be preserved 1t is the existing, not
the single gold standard to which the
Republican party is committed, and
which it will maintain.

TOPEKA AND REsuBm1ss1oH.

A good many people had concluded
| that the Order of the Mystic Brother
hood had, in the heat of the campaign,
exhaled, as the foam on a glass Of beer
before the breath Of the ardent candi-
date, or like the dew in a summer
mornings sun. But the order seems
true to it's mystic name, and none the
less real on that account 1t is not
only alive but active If published re-
ports are to be relied upon Its par
ticular mission, il seems, is TO look
after the status Of the candidates for
the legislature, quietly but earnestly.
The skewjee sachem of the grand lodge
of the brotherhood gives it out, cold,
that the order has received replies from
sixty-eight Republican candidates for
the legislature who are in favor Of re-
submission, and from twenty-five Re-
publican candidates for the senate.
Eight candidates for the house and six
for the senate are against permitting
the people OF the state another vote on
the subject. They say that they can't
such a grave question. We presume
that the Mystic Brotherhood won't do
anything to that fourteen conscientious
gentlemen. So much for the Repub-
Hcan candidates. The Popocrats are
more wary They evade. They de-
clare that the Pop party never recog-
nized either prohibition or resubmis-
sion as an issue worthy their attention
They point to the additional fact that
but for Republican prohibition and Tire
fights and distractions growing out of
its attempted enforcement, the Pop
party would not have amounted to any
more in Kansas than it does in New
York. However, fourteen fusion can
didates for the house and five fusion
candidates for the senate favor result
mission, while three for the senate and
five for the house are followers of Jerry
Botkin, anything TO win. Jerry, it
will be recalled, is running on a Demo
cratic license platform, a Popocrat nom
committal platform, and a Prohibition
platform, to say nothing Of his own
mixed record
The grand lodge of the Order Of the
Mystic Brotherhood are very appre-
hensive OF the results of the fearful
example" which Topeka is giving the
state this week in the way of big all
around free-for-all drunk, called car
nival. The grand skewjee fears that
the intemperance Of that prohibition
town will so disgust right thinking peo-
pie that the issue Of reSubmission will
get black eye. Doubtless such will
be the result. The headaches and up
set stomachs will be many, and many
not only will be found swearing off,
for good for themselves, but swearing
off, for everybody else,
