AS IT LOOKS TO US.

Tammany has recaptured New York, and
will so strongly entrench itself as to be
able to name the next Democratic nominee
for president and dictate the national platform.
While it is true that Tammany gave Bryan
quasi 5upport last year, it is also true that the
Tammanyites are not favorable to silver They
supported Bryan only because he was the DEM
ocratic nominee. We are no prophet, but we
venture the prediction that, in 1900, Tamma-
nv will drop the silver question Cor, at least,
the 16-to-r ratio), and if Bryan sticks to the
ratio, he will be repudiated by Tammany Al
ready, the Tammany people are trying to work
up presidential boom for John R. Mclean
Remember the prediction.

AS Viewed by a Banker.

P. r. Brown, president of the Galesburg ma
tonal bank of Galeeburg, H., had the followr,
ing to say recently in favor of postal savings
banks:
eyes, believe in postal savings banks.
There is need i'll our country--yes, an abso-
lutte necessity-that people should be taught to
make judicious use of their earnings; in other
words, taught to save money. This, like all
other education, should begin with the young
The postal system would help in this, as it would
be in the reach of all and would afford any one,
even the small children, an opportunity to make
beginning in saving something. 1t should be
started on a plan that will gather the waste
money that now never sees a bank. In this
way the penny is cared for until it gets enough
added to it to make dollar, and from this it
grows on until it reaches a ]udicous invest
ment-a homestead and loan association, a lot
or home started, or something to which the
owner attaches value. Then this person begins
to become something. Here ends our anarchist
and socialist and government ownership, which
so many are to-day advocating and OF which SO
many are afraid The secret of saving is to
make beginning. When this beginning is
made then there arrives something better in the
individual. The saving must be used, invest
ed set to work. Out of this grows the bust
ness habit, and out OF this habit the man VINO
develops and becomes capable of managing it.
Now, it seems to me as means TO tins end all
auxiliares we can advise that are just and hop<
orable should be used. Doings things is c6n-
tagious, and if this movement was once uni
vcrsal and became popular movement all
would move more in that direction and in time
might become national characteristic.
"No; it is my opinion banks and bankers as
rule are not opposed to the postal bank sys-
TEN, and it is my opinion the system in time
would become all adjunct of banking and bus
mess, Just as in church the Sunday school is
help to the church-not competitor. We
should take broad view of these things, OF
selfish one. Selfshness hurts the self i'll bust
ness as we'll as in morals. Yes, for one you
may put me down for postal savings banks, and,
as said BEFORE when the time comes you will
finds banks are not, rule, opposed to them,
as they will recognize in them an adjunct of
business of all kinds, and it is out OF increased
business that banks grow and prosp-r Chi
cago Record.
We don't want postal savings banks as an
adjunct to banks operated by private indvd-
uals We must carefully watch all schemes or
plans endorsed by the national bunk rs OF this
country. -EDrrOR.

HENRY GEORGE DEAD.

Henry George, the free-siver candidate for
mayor of Greater New York, died very sudden
Nv. last Friday The labors and excitement
of the campaign were too much for him.
In his death the country lost one of its great
est and best men. He was true retorner-a
man of strong convictions and the courage to
express them Had he lived and been elected,
New York would have been lid of its army of
booders and corruptionists il Office.
Henry George had a strong following, and
his election was one of the Possibilities After
his death, his mantle was plc ced upon his son,
Henry George, IT,, but the young man could
not WELD the influence of is father and the
followers of his father were catered, resulting
in the election of Van Y yck, Tammany's
candidate, by large majority.
**
When the news of Henry Ceorge's death was
telegrapbed over the country, the papers of all
political parties acknowleq his true worth
and heaped encomiums upon him. We have
seen but one paper-the Topeka Capital-which
spoke of him in other than words of praise.
All fair men willingly did him justice, whether
they believed in the ideas he advocated or not,
and the majority willingly admitted that his
death was sad blow to the country.
At the funeral among the pallbearers were
Iohn Brisben Walker, editor of the Cosmopoli-
tan, and Hamlin Garland, the versatile reform
author. All of the candidates for the mayoralty
attended the funeral and all ,ulogized him in
unmeasured terms.

A Malicious Slanderer.

When Mark Hanna was making speech, at
Bellaire, Ohio, some one in the audience asked
him Chow about the Union Pacific deal? and
the Associated Press reports him as replying:
Well, my friend, l will tell you all know
about that deal While Cleveland was i'll office
a syndicate of New Workers arranged with the
head of the government for the purchase of the
Union Pacific railway, which was purely all ex-
ecutve act, and was entirely proper. l knew
nothing about it particularly, until was in the
senate, when resolution was offered by Sen
ator Harris, of Kansas, to postpone the closing
of the contract until after the new adnnistra-
ton took hold, and to place the responsibility
of closing the deal upon President Mckinley.
I want the United states to get out OF the Union
Pacific all they can.
AS the term of Senator Harris and President
Mckinley begun on the same day, this attempt
10 give political reason for Senator Harris ac-
t;on was as false as it was contemplate. His
effort was to enable the government to save
what it has invested in these roads. He has
been partially successful, but the probabilities
still are that the government will lose score
or two million dollars in this matter that might
have been aved.-Topeka Independent.

KANSAS AGIrAroR. GARRETT. KANSAS.
HONEST CONFESSION.

The Lawrence World, the leading Republ-
can paper of the Athens of Kansas, gets an
honest "streak" once in while quite frequent
ly, indeed. Last week, it had of those
streaks.
Brady has been looking the situation over
carefully, and has reached a conclusion, which
he expresses in the following language:
Unless all the signs of the times fail, there
is going to be contest made against the rec
concentrations of Senator Baker. To do so at
once sets man down as an enemy to the Re-
publican party. Unfortunately, we have been
building up machine in Kansas that would
rather see the state in the hands of the opposi-
ton than to see all administration in power
that it had not created. We have no room for
a Powell Clayton in this state. 1t means too
much to have control of the state government.
In the fight about to be made, Senator Baker
is right By precededent and by justice he
should name the men who are to hold the APP
pointive postofices. 1t is a sad condition OF
affairs if machine is to be built up and take
the place of personal responsibility. So far as
Mr. Lit Crum is concerned, his appointment
would be the worst that could be made. He
has 10 existence of his own. He is simply
shadow. No one had any authority to prom
Use him an office, and no one in Kansas wants
him except the man whose boots he has BACKED.
Crum is a man without character and without
standing at home. His appointment to any Of
flee would be disgrace to any administration.
We are going to have hard enough work to
reinstate the Republican party, and we cannot
afford to advertise to the voters of this state that
the Republican party is controlled by machine.
1t has been that kind of work that has made
us the minority party. Senator Baker was
chosen by the representatives of the party to
be senator. He is responsible for what is done
1t would be disgrace to turn him down and to
acknowledge that the party is controlled by boss
1t is simply question of whether we are 60
ing to have the party run in the interest OF all
the members thereof or have it run by boss
whose highest ambition is to rlle, and who
would rather see Kansas like Arkansas, II he
could be the Kansss Powell Clayton, than to
have a Republican administration chosen by
the people. IL Is ClltlCal tiie' Ohie'' ''N
party rallies around Senator Baker, it is gone
Here is another pretty good item from the
World:
The Kansas City Gazette, in commenting Oh
the Worlds remarks about Senator Baker,
brings out the point that the present admins
tration has turned the distribution of patronage
LARGELY over to national committeeman Instead
of to the senators, as heretofore. There is UNI
fortunately good deal in the statement. The
bald fact is that the machine has the control,
and Mr.. Leland was spoke i'll the machine.
While the World has every respect Tor President
Mckinley, it cannot but regret that he has seen
fit to allow Mr.. Hanna to dictate the admins
tration 1t was Mr.. Mckinley who was elected
president, and not Mr.. Hanna.

Ir is reported that eX-President Harrison has
become strong advocate OF the Initiative and
Referendum There is no reason why Repub-
licans should not favor this reform as we'll as
Popuists and Democrats No man who b4<-
lieves that the people are capable OF self gov
ernment can offer valid argument against it.
Practically all the Republican members
of our state legislature voted against it last
wnter-but that was on account of ignorance
and prejudice. They didn't understand it,
and that it was favored by the Populists was
reason enough for them TO oppose it, as they
opposed every laudabe measure originating
with our party.--Independence Star and Kan
san.
OUR candidates all made a clean campaign,
and all should have been elected, but we have
cause to rejoice over what we got.
WE rather guess the "silver craze" isn't
dead yet--in Kansas or elsewhere. At least,
the returns don't show it.
THAT "wave of prosperity did not keep the
Republicans from losing all over the nation.
They lost heavily, too ~

sas made light gains, but in many more instances

We Got What T'Other Fellows Tried So

The Johnson Trigg Crowd Beaten.

There is little to say about Tuesday election
except to announce the result. J. W. Shields,
our candidate for treasurer, and John j. Andcr-
son, our candidate for county commissioner,
were elected by good majorities-the latter by
1885, These were offices which the Republic
ans were most anxious to capture, and TOR
which they spent so much money and furnished
so much whisky. They would gladly exchange
what they got for what we got. 1t would put
thousands of dollars into the pockets of the
Republican bosses. The backbone OF the
Blown dynasty is broken, and Frank will not
get that nice little rake-off for which his palm

The race between Young and Boson, for
county clerk, was very close. The Republican
majorties for the other Offices were smaller
than usual
Oar candidates made clean, honest fight, re-
fusing to resort to Republican tactics, and they
have nothing to regret-except that they were
defeated.
The people of Anderson county are to be
congratulated upon their choice of men to look
after the county's finances We wish they had
been equally wise in the selection of the other
officers.
ONE of the worst and most inexcusable pieces
of robbery of the taxpayers OF this state that
has ever been perpetrated was Ill the matter OF
laying new walks in the state-house grounds.
After the defeat of the Morrill, redeemer admin
istraton for reelection year ago, it went to
work, and on the 2Sth of November, let the
contract for the cement walks in the state house
grounds, so that its pets might get the work.
1t was hurried through III the dead of winter,
when nightly frosts prevented decent work, and
finished and paid for before the Leedy admins
tration was inaugurated. The cost was $780,.
81, and the result of the hasty and imperfect
construction is that the walks are badly cracked
and will soon have to be relaid. The same adj
lninstration paid SIS 900 for the so-caled gravel
walks and drve-ways ia the capitol grounds.
They were little better than yellow mud when
the weather was wet OF thaw prevailed, and
rough and dirty when it dry; and about as
poor all excuse for walks as | ever saw Some
Republican pet, of course, made fat thing out
of this Job, as other Republican pets have lined
their pockets for years as contra tors i'll the
building of the state house. Probably their
steals never would have ended if they hadn't
been turned ont bag and baggage, and ccmpell-
ed to quit the redeeming business-Star and

THE main line of the Union Pacific railroad
was sold under the hammer, Monday, and was
bought by the reorganization committee, there
being no other bidder. The price paid was
$57,56A932.76. The government is still in
the hole to the tune of several million dollars,
but the price paidis about ten millions more
than it would have been had there not been
such howl from the people against the con-
tempated steal. Had justice been done, the
road would now be in the hands of the govern
ment and run in the interest Of the people; but
justice cannot be expected from the Republican
party.
