BUSINESS MEN IN POLITICS.

The newspapers which strive 10 SCI
cure competent officials and a govern
ment which shall be representative,
and. az q consequence, Of the best char
acter, constantly depIore the apathy OF
business men in politics. II IL IN
usual, and therefore perhaps more eff
cacious. when one Of themselves steps
out and boldly charges the same cul-
pable remissness against the offending
class.
President Brooks, of the First Ma
tional bank OF Salem, o., during the
recent convention Of Pennsylvania
bankers. was invited to address that
body, and depressed from the routine
proceedings 10 ehide the bankers for
their neglect Of political duties. He
placed upon them responsibility for the
fact that the nation is sometimes dis
graced by the presence OF unworthy
men In Office. He told them that Ii
was largely due 10 their own apathy.
This is true; IL business men, includ-
ing bankers, interested themselves only
so much in politics in securing good
officials as they do in securing good
clerks. there would be less danger of
local governments being dominated by
unworthy motives and incompetent
men. The rebuke extends not only to
bankers. but TO many business men,
either owning their stores or working
in them, and TO workingmen.
Every citizen is interested in the out
come of campaign. even though he
profess or feel no interest in what Is
called practical politics. Those who
complain most OF the unfortunate con-
ditions which often arise are those who
leave TO their neighbors the duty OF at
tending ward meetings and primaries
and other precedent movements toward
the final end of election.
There are too many electors who
either take no part in politics or con-
tent themselves with casting a ballot.
Attention is concentrated on the can
didates for governor or mayor or other
conspicuous office, but little interest is
taken In the equally important matter
of the selection of legislators and coun-
eilmen. Yet these delegates of the
people exert a most potent influence
upon public affairs Conscientious adj
ministration of the law involves one
branch of the government, but the en-
actment of good laws is no less a sub
ject of grave concern. Too often, in
deed, the executive is charged with the
responsibility at the public demand of
ignoring, evading or winking at the in
fraction of laws because of their mis-
chievous effect il squarely enforced.
There is a great difference between
scheming to get into legislatures state
or municipal-men who will be plant
tools 10 serve special interests, and TAX
ing part in the selection of capable
men who shall be brave. impartial and
sagaeious in the work of general legis-
lation in the best interests of the entire
community.

History of Dollar Wheat.
Atchison Globe.

Dollar wheat Is a twin with Republi
can success. In 1888. under Arthur, the
average price Of wheat was 81 cents a
bushel. During Clevelands first term
the average was 6S cents. When Harri-
son was president wheat varied from 81
cents to % cents. Cleveland's second cleo
tion sent Il down at once TO 81 cents
and il continued 70 tumble until II
reached - cents. the lowest price in a
century. In the first months OF McKin-
leys administration dollar wheat has re-
turned.
