Prosperity has brought about con-
gestion Of money in Kansas, and as a
result bankers are refusing to receive
deposits, says the Chicago Financial
Review. There is state law in Kansas
under which bank cannot make loans
exceeding four times the amount Of its
capital. A bank in central Kansas
which has capital of only 5000, and
which under the law can loan only
$4,000, has deposits aggregating s64, 900.
Tie banker, not wishing to become
responsible for more deposits, wrote the
bank commissioner, John w. Brieden.

refuse deposits. The commissioner re-
piled that he could. and this course is
now being followed by a number of the
banks in the state. How is this for
bleeding Kansas" where a year ago

Political Pledges Disregarded.

A Pierre correspondent to the Hot
Springs Star, in a communication bear
ing date of January, 1895, says: When
the re-submission question was up for
consideration in the senate the speeches
were decidedly interesting upon both
sides. Senator McGee made a very able
and eloquent plea against re submission,
stating that pledges made before elec-
ton should not be taken seriously into
account or regarded as binding upon
candidates after election, but that they
were like the platform of a passenger
coach-made to get in on. Senator
Wilson improved the opportunity for a
reply TO Senator McGee's remarks and
made what, to our notion, was a happy
political hit, as we'll as very satisfac-
tory and proper explanation of his vote,
for which he has received many compli-
ments. He said: THE announcement
ofany new and novel doctrine in politics
made by onr friends on the opposite
side Of the hall is not to me matter Of
surprise. We would be surprised if our
friends did not evolve something new.
The position taken by the senator from
Pennington, that platforms are only to
get in on, and that pledges made before
election should not be held binding, is
quite in keeping with the untenable
positions Of his party. However, had it
been promulgated during the late cam
paign, it might have been better for the
popul'st party, for had their candidates
but declared that they did not mean
what they said, and did not expect to
stand by the doctrines they advocated,
more Of them might have been elected.
They should have made the statement
sooner My belief is that a political
pledge should be held as sacred as any
other. And my position now upon the
question Of re-submission is based upon
this principle. / io not desire to in
huence the vote Of any senator on this
question, but do believe in listening
to the voice OF the majority. When /

be, and no man to this day has chal

stated that, this being my belief, |

question shall by my vote redeem that
pledge"

The wall of McGee and his strikers
about railroad attorneys" is pure bun
combe, to mislead the voters who want
a capable man for judge. Mr.. Wilson
is not under as much obligation to the
failroad companies as Mr.. McGee. Mr..
Wilson has tried few cases for the
Elkhorn company; never for any other
railroad company. When he has taken
a case, he has taken it as he would from
any other client, and he has been paid
for his work. He has not had a case
for any railroad company for nearly two
years, and is not in any sense a salaried
railroad attorney. As a practicing at.
torney he has considered it his privilege
to take cases for any respectable client
who wished his services. Mr.. MCGEE.

Signs Of Prosperity.

The general and widespread improve.
ment in the status Of the times at this
writing over that of q year ago, has be-
come so apparent that any one not
blinded by prejudice cannot fail to
realize it. Among the almost innumer-
able signs of advancing prosperity, the
following are noted among the most
prominent: The falling of bank re-
serves in the east TO a point which,
under ordinary conditions, would create
alarm at the condition of the money
market the enormous increase of bank
clearings during the past few weeks.
running from 80 to 60 per cent over the
figures OF last year tie decrease in the
number Of business failures throughout
the country, which are not more than
one half as numerous, and less than
half as large in amount as they were a
year ago; the opening Of factories, Civ
ing employment to a large number OF
hitherto idle people; the greater de-
mand for labor, which now nearly, il
not quite, equals the supply; the nota-
BILE increase in the cancellation Of farm
mortgages, and the marked decrease in
the demand for money for farm loans
the firm and stable character of COM
mercial paper in New York, Boston and
other eastern cities, and the increased
volume of business transacted; the
largely increased exports, causing the
constant growing of the trade balance
in favor OF this country the steady in
crease of the treasury gold reserve and
the increase of the money circu!ation
nearly one hundred million dollars.
These are only few of the more pro-
minent signs Of the actual return of the
era of prosperity that hung upon the
issue of republican success in the last
national political contest, and which
promises to be in strict keeping with
the past record made by that party
during the protracted period in which
it has been in control Of the administra-
