supposed to represent all the people.
Every officer that intends to do right
and fill his Office right needs the sup

to have it. Now what's the use in
having ratification and making a
big noise and perhaps hurting some
peoples feelings. Why not go

"GO1 Help Kansas"

Kansas is looked upon with sus
picious eyes everywhere. The cleo
ton of a Populistic Governor and
State Legislature does not commend
itself to people elsewhere. The
Chicago Times Herald of the 5th,
says:
Kansas is still wallowing in popu.
lism. While the majority for Bryan
is not as yet determined, there is nc
doubt he has carried the state. The
Populist sweep in Kansas is SO
complete that a further migration Of
capital and business may be expected
from that unfortunate commonwealth.
The Republicans had hoped to save
their state ticket, which was expected
to have the support of Democrats who
were for Bryan, but the Populistic
craze has swept everything in sight.
A socialist who thinks the paramount
right in property is that of the user,
and not the owner, has been chosen
chief justice of the supreme court.
God help Kansas!

A Sound Money Senate.

Unless official returns should
change the situation in one or two
States the Senate of the Fifty-frst
Congress will consist of A Republi-
cans, 80 Democrats, 8 Populists and
Independents-the Senator's from
Utah and Nevada being classed as in
dependents-and 6 silver Republi-
cans, making an apparent silver ma
jority of 2. But all the Democratic
hold-over Senators are not for silver;
at least four of them are strong sound
money men, SO that the real silver
strength is only AZ as against 4S for
the gold standard, a sound money
majority OF 6. The silver Republi-
cans would probably act with the
other Republicans on all measures
not pertaining to coinage, giving that
party a total of so and majority of
10.

It is . hard thing to say but Jerry
Simpson is probably fitting repre-
sentative of a majority of voters in
the Seventh Kansas district. Other
wise they would not have taken him
up again.-Kansas City Journal.
We,know that the people outside
of this congressional district have a
poor opinion of the majority of the
people of this district, but it cannot
be helped. There are lots of people
in this district who would like to live
somewhere else, but under the cir
cumstances they have to remain.
The only thing for Republicans to do,
when travelling, is to avoid recog-
milton, and thus escape disgrace. A
travelling man, whose home is in
Hutchinson, tore off the tag on his
grip, and substituted one with the
name of Chicago on it. Jerry Simp-
Son is probably a fit representative
of this coyote country of short grass,
and drouth.. Some part of
the United States must send q clown
to Congress, and why not the Seventh
district Of Kansas. 81

Better Times Ahead.

While it is matter of disappoint-
ment that Kansas. blind to her best
interests, has failed to roll up such a
majority for good government and
sound money as would forever bury
calamity and reputation, every Kan
san can rejoice in the great victory
awarded the Republican party by the
people of the country. The Associ-
ated press cable from London yes
terday sounded the first note of bet
ter times, of confidence recovered and
national credit restored. Later
market reports at home corroborate
this indication of revival of pros
perity. With Republican control
assured in the executive and legisla
tive branches of the national govern
ment, holders of idle money and Gre
dit will gladly avail themselves of the
opportunity to put their capital once
more to productive employment, start
ing up the wheels and furnaces and
giving work to hundreds of thous-
ands of now idle laboring men. In
this general revival of industry Kan
sas can not help enjoying a share in
spite of herself. Her wheat and corn
and hogs and cattle will feel the buoy
ant effects of better times and an in
creased home market, even if inves
tors and loaners continue to withhold
or withdraw their capital from the
State.
If Kansas must for a few years
longer get along without foreign cre-
dit it still has great resources within
itself. The soil will continue to pro-
duce and prices will improve as gen
eral industry increases in the manu-
featuring States. The failure to de-
clare emphatically against repudia
ton of half our debts will prevent
for some years the starting of new
industries needed in the State, for
which we have the raw materials and
q near market, and until a greater
variety Of industries is developed in
the State our advancement will be
slow. But the State is one of the
IN the country in proper
hon to its population and can prosper
10 a degree without either immigra-
hon or new industries. The next

White House and Republican ma
iority in both houses Of Congress.

The Populists had guard at
the canvass of the votes at the court
house in every county in the State.
This was done to prevent fraud on
the part of Republican boards. 1t is
an old axiom in physiology that the
bad points of character we see in
other persons are counterfeit present
ments in our own. The rule also
applies to good points. When the
Pop committee desired to protect
against fraud they also had purpose
to prevent detection of their own
frauds.
