RA1s1Ns AND PRUNEs IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2S.-The Journal of Com
merce under this date says: There has been
no change in the California raisin situation
Nothing further has been heard of the pro-
posed advance in prices for shipment. and there
seems to have been no Increase in the demand
for goods to be sent forward from the coast
at prices which went into effect at midnight
of the 18th instant. For seeded raisins there
is reported to be very good demand and the
market is firm. California seedless and Sui
tanas are firm under small supplies and fair
demand. A very firm feeling is noted in the
market for California prunes of larger sizes,
offerings of which both here and from coast
are light. Smaller sizes somewhat unset
tied owing to the Indifference of buyers, but
there has been quotable change in prices.

against the swindling manufacturers.
Not only corn, they say, is introduced
with flour, but peas, ground rice and
soapstone; that olive oil and lard are
but rank cottonseed; horseradish doc
tored turnips; powdered sugar but glu-
cose. clay and sand; milk but chalk and
water, ad infinitum. It is presumable
that there is some honestly left in the
world; that all farmers do not place
stones in their hay, nor all these wives
put chunks of salt in the middle of their
butter rolls; that there is a modicum OF
decent men among the multitude of
manufacturers of food products in the
world who put up genuine articles. II
half that is suspicion is true touching
the adulteration of food commodities
and products, it twouId pay the manu-
facturers of any line to demonstrate the
geiuineness of their products. In the
meantime America will soon be COM
PEELED, probably, to follow the countries
of old civilization by passing stringent
laws, with severe penalties, against the
adulteration of any food intended for
the human stomach, and may be to go
a step farther and support commissions
to keep an eye out for the detection by
making scientific tests and examina
lions.

WHY KINGS KICK.

That Europe is perturbed over the
American situation goes without denial.
Francis Josephs splutter is but what
all other monarchs would say if they
dared. Francis Joseph's kingdom is too
far away, too insignificant, to command
any attention from this country. His
own people are made up of dozen diff
ferent nationalities, speaking as many
languages, and all fighting each other
forever like cats and dogs, and Austria
Hungary, therefore, is not worth MOTTO
ing But Francis Joseph's words were
echoed by the Emperor of Germany. 1t
is not because these hereditary bloods
love Spain. II is because they do not
want to see another crown go down.
Their trade is wearing crowns, and it is
an easy and profitable and powerful
one If all Europe sympathizes with
Spain its among the rulers rather than
the people. The day is not far when all
the world will smile that men of these
times and age were so foolish as to con-
sent to be ruled by other men whose
only authority lay in the claim that
they We're born to govern, that they
were fordained of God before the found
alton of the world to rule the genera
ton in which they should be born.
That little, but comprehensive and in
cisive American declaration, that ''all
men were created equal worries the
bloated blue-bloods of every cline.
That lord, or duke, or prince is any
better than anybody else in any sense,
than that one pig may be better than an
other by being better fed, is feudalistic
clap-trap fit for belief only by the serfs
of the ages whose descendants will soon
know better. To rid the world of this
MEDIEVAL rule of might makes right"
the world will have to be plunged into
sanguinary and devasting wars. But
the victory will be worth the sacrifice,
and the sooner it is made the better for
humanity. If, therefore, the convic-
lions, declarations and demands of the
United States should involve all Europe
in way that would tend to weaken the
tenure of hereditary presumption, an
other epoch in the upward march of
civilization will have been scored.

TIE KANSAS REPUBLICAN.

The several and individual wrangles
which q short time since threatened
to spread out into the Republican ranks
of our state, have ceased to be heard
from, have disappeared, along with
Sther disagreeable things, beneath the
wave of prosperity or otherwise have
Been swallowed up by the ground swell
Of patiotism. misunderstanding have
been smoothed over. conflicting inter
ests harmonized and individual ambi-
lions adjusted, and the present indi-
cations are that Republican nomina-
4ion this fall will be equivalent to an
election. This is well. This is as 1t
Should be. Leaders failing to pull to-
gether should be unhitched from the
team and turned out to grass or other
wise disciplined by reduction. A party
canunot succeed with its more active
members pulling at each other contrar-
Sly or by geeing and having in gener-
al all around baIk. Kansas should be
in the hands of a Republican admins
tration with eight Republican Con-
gressmen representing her people in
Washington, holding up the hands Of
the present Republican administration
There is not a Republican in Kansas
who will not heartily endorse this prop
osition. With Stanley, or Hood, or
Seaton, or Hessen, or some equally able
man leading the ticket this fall, not
only should eight Republican Congress
men be elected, and every county saved
to the party, but Populistic-Fusion sent
bowling back to it's calamity hole, out
of sight. if not out Of memory. These
are times for patriotism, for high re-
solves and exalted ideals, when truck
ling and wire-pulling for personal pre-
ferment are out of place, and to be de-
pIored by every man having the best
welfare of his home, country and citi-
Eenship at heart. 1t is therefore to be
sincerely hoped that from now on every
Republican will be found to be a Re
publican from principle and not mere
partizan for spoils, or a voter for re-
venge.
