Hon. Z. H. Funston, of Allen
County, was in town again last Sat
urday looking after his fences. Mr..
Funston is making an aggressive
canvass for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation and is meeting with splend-
id success. He has the solid sup
port of the second congressional
district at his back, besides dele
gates from all corners of the state
pledged to his support, Mr.. Fun
Ston is one of the ablest men
among the aspirants for the posi-
ton; he is a fine public speaker,
an excellent campaigner, and as an
organizer, has few equals. Mr..
Funston's record in the legislature
and in congress is an excellent
one, and one which will bear in
vestigation. He is a farmer that
farms, yet is as well posted on the
affairs of state and nation as any
of his opponents. Mr.. Funston
lives in our sister county-in our
judicial district, and we are liable
at any time to be thrown together
n the same senatorial and con-
5ressional district; he is our neigh
DO, and as he is well qua lifted for .
he office, is honest and upright in
al his dealings, it would seem
nete and proper that we sho uld
reat him kindly. Therefore we
believe we should give him the
Neosho county delegation to the
;tate convention.

Mr.. w. L. Mille-, Of this city,
announces i'll tnis Issue that he will
be candidate for district clerk,
subject to the republican county con-
vention. Mr.. Miller is the junior
member of the firm of Volk & Miller,
until recently proprietors of the
East End Grocery, and to the peo-
pie of Chanute, and this part of Ne
osho County needs no introduction.
To those not personally acquainted
with him, we will say that Mr.. Mil
Ter is a young man of exemplary
habits, has fine business education,
is honest, obliging and capable, AID
if elected to the office to which he
aspires, will make one of the best
clerks this county has ever had. He
is a man that makes and holds
friends, is honest and unpretentious,
and if he succeeds in getting the
nomination, will add strength to the
county ticket. The outlook now j:
that Mr.. Miller will have no opposi-
ton for the nomination, and as the
time is now short until the conven-
ton will be held, and he will not be
able to see all of the members of the
republican party nor even majority
of them before the primaries will be
held, he will take the time honored
method of announcing his candi
dacy through the columns of the
newspapers.

The Republican Central Commit
mittee met at Erie Monday to ar,
range for convention to select dele.
gates to the state convention and to
arrange for calling a convention to
nominate county ticket. On mo-
ton of l.. B. Keifer, of Chanute, it
was decided to have but one conven-
ton to do both, consequently it was
arranged to hold said convention on
June Ist, and the primaries to select
delegates for the said conven-
ton were set for May 20 at 4 O'Clock
p. m. unless otherwise ordered by
the committeeman. Almost every
township was represented and consid
cradle enthusiasm was manifested.
Hon. John Seation, candidate
for governor, was present and
made the committee a nice talk.
The editor hereof was not in favor of
calling the county convention as early
as June first, but as it was the almost
unanimous opinion of the committee
men present that it would be the best
hing to do, we were compelled to
sub side. 1t was somewhat odd to
see committeeman present who for
nerly opposed short caucuses for
before conventions, line
Up for five weeks campaign.

The TINES editor does not like
work well enough to work for fun;
he has tried working for nothing
and playing for the same salary, and
he prefers the latter, but he simply
thinks it odd that the reformers
should resort to schemes to squan-
der money for the county just as
the cold parties" used to do.
There are no doubt, papers in this
county, if given a chance to bid,
would have done the work for %
per cent. of the legal rate, and thus
have saved the county two or three
hundred dollars, but they were ig
nored in the matter and the taxpay-
ers are holding the bag.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8-Germany has

treaty of reciprocity. says a Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the Herald
The German government has taken
the initiative in proposing a confer
ence OF representatives of all the Eu-
ropean powers to secure the abolition
of bounties on sugar and other prod
ucts. When the Dingley bill was I'M
der discussion, Baron Won Thielman,
the German ambassador, made an
earnest effort to have omitted from the
bill the provision which imposes an
additional duty on all goods imported
into the United States upon which an
export bounty had been paid. The pro-
vision was intended especially to COW
er the sugar brought in from Ger
many and other European countries.
The effect of this provision has been
to discourage the importation of Ger
man beet sugars into the United
States, and it is believed in admins
trative circles that it is largely upon
this account that the German govern
ment is seeking the abolition of all
