Wanamaker is Right.

In order for us TO have good times the peo-
pic must not only make money, but they must
must spend 1t freely The two things are re-
cipfocal. 1t is the market that keeps the fac.
tories and stores going and pays the wages"
This Is what John Wanamlker said recently
Mr.. Wanamaker is one of the few ricl, men il,
this country with glinmer of economic sense
The average editorial idiot is advising the neo.
pie to save their money They must be savin,,
1t; they certainly are not spending much of it.
Nothing will so quickly breed hatd times as "a,
epidemic OF economy. There is ciren,at
medium of put $23 per capita, and probably
Els of this is in the banks or otherwise ;dl,.
If the people save the remaining $6-wh,ch is
not much to savc-what becomes of DIR ci,c,..
lating medium? And yet the people are urp..I
to save their money. You might as well ask ,
man to save his breath or dam up the circul.,.
ton of his blood. Under our present l.moI.
able system of society the spendth. 1T is q be.,-
cfactor and the prudent MAJ: is an curimy 10 H.

1.-THE PEOPLE" BUYING BONDS.

A telegram from New York to the Kansas
City World Sunday, tells how "the people"
there are buying the new government bonds
The telegram states that certain financial insti-
tutions (banks) of that city arc giving their
clerks 'wads of $500 each,', with which to
buy bonds. The clerks buy the bonds in their
own names, and later, the banks take the bonds
giving the clerks little little commission for
their trouble.
No doubt some bonds will he purchased by
people outside of the banks, but when the Issue
is all taken up, it will be found that the bulk of
the bonds arc owned by the banks. 1t was so
with Clevcand's popular loan," and it will be
so with this one. Very few of "thc people,
are able to buy bonds.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DID.

As many of our readers already know, the
Democratic state convention nominated as their
candidates the present state officers They
sent a conference committee to Topeka, asking
tor three places on the state ticket. The
Peoples party convention voted to give them
the Office of Acknowledgements The COM
mittee returned to Atchison and reported the
result of the conference. The Democrats re-
fused to accept this place alone, and voted to
the place offered them
The Democratic convention adopted good
platform taken as whole.

BIG WHEAT CROP.

According to the Kansas City Star, the prom
Use of large yield of wheat, the world over is
better than for years. large yield of wheat
means a low price to farmers and cheap bread
for the poor. So far, the Hannates are not
claiming any credit for the big yield They
don't know on which side to jump. If they
jump to the side of taking great credit for big
crop and low prices, the farmers will be as mad
as wet hens, and if they claim great benehccnce
in feeding the hungry. the millionaires will be
mad. The Hannaites are in a hole They are
bottled mp, same as the Spanish fleet in the
harbor at Santiago. No Joseph Letter can lift
the sunken Merrimac.
A new providence crowns the year with
blessings, and the sons and daughters of earth
sing for joy.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Peoples party congressional convention
of the Second district was held at Olathc last
Tuesday The attendance was much lighter
than usual, only about half of the delegates
being present-due no doubt, to the fact that
many of them were farmers, and they had to
stay at home and attend to their crops.
The convention was called to order by Chair
man Mackey, at II a. m. Henry Mclean, OF
Paola, was elected temporary chairman. After
the election of a temporary secretary and the
selection of the usual committees, the conven-
ton adjourned till 1870 p. m.
The convention was called to order promptly
on time, and the temporary organization was
made permanent. Reports of the committees
were read and adopted.
The convention expressed desire to hear
the men who had been mentioned as candidates,
and Ex-Governor St. John was first called for.
He responded, beginning with the statement
that he was in no wise candidate for congress,
and would not consent to allow his name to 60
before the convention as candidate. He then
proceeded to give the delegates some sound adj
vice as to the kind of man to select as a candi-
date for congress. Before he had delivered a
dozen sentences, he had "set the convention on
fire, so to speak, and, aside from the Wyan-
dottc county delegates and few from Bourbon
county, the delegates of the convention were
condemning the practice of sending instructed
delegates to conventions. st. John had the con-
vcntion, so far as the wishes of the delegates
we're concerned, and, had they not been instruct
ed for M. S. Peters, he est. john would have
been nominated by an overwhelming majority,
in spite of his decination. The convention
recognized in him man who could put the
Republicans on the run and keep them jumping
till election day.
Col. H. M. Greene, of Douglas co unity, was
next called for and he made manly speech,
full of good advice, and stated that, although
his county delegates were instructed for him,
he would like to support that grand old hero,
Ex-Governor st. John. After Col. Greene had
finished speaking, he started to leave the plat
form. He staggered and would have fallen had
not Hon. John w. Poore been near to catch
him. A physician called, and he pro-
nonnce6 it paralytic stroke. Col Greene
did not revive, and he was carried to his hotel.
Mr. Poore then took the stand and placed in
nomination Hon. M. S. Peters, the present in
cumbent, singing his praises in high key,
though why he did so in the face of declara-
tons he had previously made, we fail to under
stand. AS we sec it, he was very inconsistent.
After Mr.. Poore's speech came the balloting
and, under the circumstances, there being but
one candidate there was but one ballot, result
ing in Mr.. Peters nomination. The delegates
from Johnson and Douglas counties voted for
St. John, notwithstanding his positive refusal
to be candidate A Kansas City, Kas., dele
gate moved to make Mr.. Peters nomination
unanimous, but his effort was fat failure. A
motion to give tree cheers for the nominee met
the same fate.
The convention then adjourned sine die.

good reason to believe that between the 18th

not safe to iufer hat we are "out of the tack

BLOCKADE HAVANA.
A Prominent Naval OFFICER Says That A
/ Blockade Is Ali Our Fleet VIII Attempt.

Washington. April 2O.--'1 hope" said a
prominent naval officer today, who has
given much thought to the subject, "that
the plan OF operation decided upon by the
department will not include an attack by
Cur fleet on Moro Castle and the forts at
Cabanas, as the first stroke of the cam.
paign. If we do this, many of our ships
are sure to be crippled and sent home for
repairs Our docking facilities on the
South Atlantic coast are so limited that
the vessels would either have to be sent
far North to be repaired or else await their
time for docking in the South.
The Spaniards are taking the cue and
are displaying much military sagacity in
the movement of the ships They are
concentrating them in their home ports
and II our fleets are disabled by attempt
Ing to reduce the Notifications at Havana
they will steam over here and intllct ire
parable damage on them. 1t seems to me
the proper thing for US to do would be to
attempt to land a large force OF men in
Cuba, surround the Notifications and
starve out the Spaniards, meanwhile keep
ing up blockade Of the harbOr and the
coast by our fleet Of ships. l think with
an army Of 10000 men, supplemented by
the insurgents strength on the island, We
would be able to do this.
'You will remember that during the
late war our fleet suffered considerably in
the attack on the forts In Charleston har-
Dor, whereas, when the soldiers holding
them ascertained that Sherman was com.
ing with an army from the inland, they
began to evacnate when he was 100 miles
away. These matters have been brought
TO the attention of the strategic board
which Is now formulatinga plan OF cam.
