SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

The Mail and Breeze quotes from al
article by the pen Cf David Overmyel
in which Mr.. Overnyer, describing the
condition of the farm renter, the legiG
innate product of a system, in which the
"land pirates" are supreme, is repre-
sented as being consOled by the plethOriC
land lord, that the law of supply and
demand controls all things" The Mail
and Breeze makes this remark about
supply and demand an occasion for a
dissertation on populist teaching in
which it asserts that the pOpullst teach
ers have for years been sedulOusly en-
deavoring to make the people believe
that the law of supply and demand has
nothing to do with anything.
This in fact, is the general course Of
remarks in republican papers about
populist teaching Of supply and de-
mand. The fact is that there is no
party that teaches the universal and
uDexceptional application Of the law of
supply and demand as the populists do.
They believe that it not only applies to
wheat and corn and silver and cotton,
but to gold and all kinds of money al
so, which from the general tone of the
republican press they do not believe.
What populists do believe and COM
plain of, and what Is misconstrued, as
the Mail and Breeze has miscOnstrued
Overmyer, is that the law Of supply and
demand is not allowed to operate nat
urally. Some great trust OF combine,
gets control of the total product of
some great staple, arbitrarily dimin-
ishes the output, and thus the supply
The price rises accordingly, and the
trust is enriched to the extent of the
rise. Supply and demand is still mex
Drsble. The teouble is that the
sxplOiters and plunderers, take advan.

selves. No power in heaven or earth
ian prevent the law of supply and de-
nand from operating, but human pow
.rs can and do arbitrarily and artificial
y control supplies Of marketable pro-
lucts, which gives to the situation the
appearance that the law Of supply and |
demand has been suspended.

rae LEAvEN or poPuLlsM.

The plpuliss agitation for postal
savings banks which is as old as pOpu-
lism, is beginning to reach the official
rank in Washington. The Post mast
er general is adorable; Senator Mason
of Illinois, republican, is vigorous,
an d a crusade is promised that may
lea to results. The Chicago Record,
an independent paper of great influ :
ence, is printing articles descriptive of
the savings bank systems Of the coun
tries of the old world, with elaborate
comments, of favorable charac er,
and sending them out to exchanges all
over the country.
AS q leavening Influence populism
can not be denied to be success. The
leaven, brought the whole democratic
party around to its ancient loyalty to
the people, and in many and divers
spots and places, is the republican par
ty being heaved and tumbled BY the
force of ideas introduced by pOpulism.

what cometh out of peace. The mi

Only one thing seems to have been

before; That with each strike there is
more solidarity among the strikers and
more solidarity among the operators;
that there is more Of individual inter

THE REPuRLIcAN FAKE.

The republican editors of the state
are causing very rapid aggitatiOn Of
what gray matter their craEiums con.
tain, in endeavOring to work up row
at the retormatory between the board
and Superintendent Case. They seem
to have succeeded fairly we'll if one
only judges by what Is found in their
papers. The News Saturday devoted
about column in telling how the dis
cipline of the institution is suffering
from the scrap which will probably
only terminate with a removal of either
the board or the superintendent. 1t
was also sent east to other daily pa
pers, which gave about the same prom.
inence to the article.
When Assistant Superintendent
Hopkins was asked about the affair,
he said, ~ don't know anything about
it it there is any such trouble" Su.
perintendent Case said: THAT IS all
fake. You may say am in reasona-
bly, good health and in reasonably good
accord with the board and the Gov.
ernor." Governor Leedy stopped over
on his way to Nc Pherson where he
spoke, Friday and called at the insti-
tuition just as a governor interested in
the state institutions should, and of
course that was evidence of a terrible
state of affairs that needed his pres
ence, to those who want to see confu-
sion and disturbance at the reforma-
tory.

MoNALL INJUNCTION CASE.

Judge Williams decided the McNall
injunction case Monday. He held that
the law Of 1889 applied generally to all
companies and removed the discretion
airy power of the perintendent of in
surance, that the duties we're merely
ministerial and that if a company was
solvent etc, that it had right to do
business in the state if it paid the fees
provided by law, made the necessary
reports and did other things of the sort
which the law directs shall be done.
He granted permanent injunction di.
recting McNall not to interfere with
the operations of the company and is
sued an order that he provide 1t with
license. He did not direct the COM
pany to make application for one, but
held that the law had been fully cGm-
piled with and they had right to do
business in the state, his order being
virtually license. The decision is sub
stantially the same as that given with
the temporary order If the state su.
preme court holds next week that the
law does not require a license from the
superintendent and that he has discre.
tionary powers, then the higher federal
courts must follow its decision unless
some federal constitutional feature is
found which prevents it, which is not
likely. Notice of appeal was immed-
lately given by McNall's attorneys.
Under this decision the company &C.
quires no legal right to do business and
Kansas courts will undoubtedly hold
that contracts made with them are not
valid. The company has therefore
gained no hing but an endorsement by
Judge Williams Of their contention.
The order against Boyle does not pre-.
vent him from bringing proper actions
against authorized agents but directs
him to refrain from wholesale arrests
in the nature of prosecutions. McNall
has not issued license to the company
up to the hour u going to press ana
probably will not. The decision means
