Sheep Industry's Revival.

Wool dealers claim there Is an immense
shortage OF wool and that 2OO,0OO,OO0 pounds
will have to be imported. Hold on to your
disqualification County News,
DO you know the reason why sheep
are scarcep When Mr.. Cleveland and
his free trade congress ruined the
wool market by allowing the importa-
ton of foreign wool with little or no
tariff the sheep industry was given a
death blow. Sheep were almost
worthless and thousands Of flocks
were sent to the slaughter house.
Farmers in the middle states found
their property decreased three fourths
in value and, in the language of one
farmer, the owners were ashamed to
look a sheep in the face. When the
Republican party returned to power
and the Dingley tariff bill was passed,
keeping foreign wool out of the
country and increasing the demand
for American wool for manufacture,
the sheep industry revived. Flocks
were profitable again and the prices
rose. But sheep are yet scarce be-
cause breeders have not filled the
places Of those slaughtered. Your
advice is good--take care Of your
sheep, for Republicanism, protection
and good prices for wool and all farm
products are with us again. They
are here to stay, too, for the people
are in no mood to have their business
ruined by another free trade expert
ment. The sheep industry had great
setbacks during both Cleveland adj
ministrations and protection has both
times revived it.

Sound Moneys Battle Line.

1t may be considered that the
springing Of the Teller resolution has
done good to the cause Of sound
money. The play Of the sill yer forces
was to keep the sound money contin-
gent unorganized. But the bringing
OF test on the Teller resolution made
the gold men come into line and there
is now no doubt as to where they
stand. The men who opposed the
vicious resolution can be depended on
to support the nations credit under
any and all conditions. The action
Of the house has more than retrieved
victory from defeat. The silverites'
branch Of the national legislature
has received a singing rebuke.
Very few persons care what the SEN
ate may think regarding public meas
ures-that is, so long as it has not the
power to enforce Its views; but the
house is the pulse Of the country The
courage Of the friends Of sound money
has risen greatly since the house
voted on the Teller resolution. The
real significance Of the vote is in the
fact that at least one Of the gr eat polit-
ical parties-and for the moment the
dominant one.-has committed itsell
squarely to the gold standard. Fur.
thermore, this issue has at last been
forced to the first place tn the policy
Of the party, where, in accordance
with the popular vote, it should have
been forced Immediately after Nov
3, 1896.

Coburn's Withdrawal.

The announcement of Secretary
Coburn that he is not and will not be
a candidate for governor takes from
the list Of possibilities a mighty good
man. Mr.. Coburn might never have
been nominated but there was wide-
spread feeling that many delegates
would 60 to the convention satisfied
to take him in case their favorite was
not to be chosen. He has done much
for agriculture in Kansas and has
perhaps done more than any one man
to advertise the State in the right
way and to inspire confidence in its
permanent prosperity. All this has
made him many friends in all parties
and it has been admitted on all sides
that he would make good governor.
But he makes a better secretary OF
the State Board Of Agriculture and it
is by no means certain that that place
is not harder to fill well than the
other. Coburn is all right and his
determination to keep out of politics
will make him more friends than any
amount of political honors could do.

Leedy's Arrogance.

bVVNy esAAS6V
Never in the history Of the State
has there been such an exhibition OF
arrogance and dictatorship as has
been given by Governor Leedy in his
absurd railroad bill and his proposal
that the legislature shall tell him
whether it will accept the dictum OF
himself and Mr.. Little or stay at
home. The proposition is not wheth-
er or not the members are in favor OF
a railroad bill but whether they will
take just the kind Of a bill that Leedy
and Little have decided that the peo-
pie Of this State need. Neither OF the
gentlemen knows any more about
running railroad than is necessary
to obtain pass and use it. Leedy
has worked the roads for several trips
to Texas when the State had need OF
his presence at homeland in his
opinion that has fitted him for the
task Of framing railroad law. The
legislature is nothing, the people are
nothing, what he says mustgo. 1t is
another example Of the kind Of one
man power that the Populist admins
tration is all the time giving us. 1t
has been seen in the case OF McNall,
in the case Of Boyle and every day and
all the time in the case OF Leedy. 1t
is the arrogance and self-conceit OF a
little man elevated to a position that
he is not big enough to fill.
The bill that Leedy has picked out
as the one the State must have il it
gets any is as absurd a conglomera-
ton as was ever concocted. It's sim
ply a rehash Of a lot Of old speeches
and could not be put in working
shape in a decade. 1t is unnecessary
to discuss it at length, for it is prob
ably unconstitutional to start with.
1t provides that the board Of railroad
commissioners shall have the power
to call before them the witnesses 1t
thinks are necessary to test any fan
cied complaint. 1t is empowered to
punish for contempt when its man
dates are disobeyed, power given to
courts only. The State supreme court
has decided long ago that no body in
this commonwealth can punish for
contempt Of orders but the courts.
The legislature is forbidden by the
constitution to confer any such power
on the board.
The item OF the cost OF the kind Of
prosecutions at the States expense
proposed in the Leedy bill, would be
enormous. The whole measure is
characteristic Of a man Of Leedy's cal
ibre and is another thing to make the
Kansas people long for time when
there shall be man in the governors
chair and not a charlatan.

blamed himself will see his own errors

Abilene's Good Condition.

The statement of the city treasurer
shows a remarkable condition, one
that can be equalled by few cities OF
the State. This city has not dollar
of outstanding warrants and over
IS, 400 in the cash box. 1t has re-
funded part of its bonds and will do
the same with the remainder. 1t
owes but a little over $4,000, and the
city debt has been reduced nearly
$4,000 in the past six years. The
fnanciering Of the past year reflects
great credit on the city treasurer, Z.
C. Sterl, who has looked after the al
fairs Of the municipality with the
same fidelity and care that he eSer-
cises ia his own. He has made
model city officer and'sis the kind Of
man who should be put in office. The
city has during his administration
consummated many savings that will
make considerable difference in the
taxes and also enable it to have lux
uries OF light and sidewalks that will
greatly improve it. The council and
its associates deserve credit for their
work in the interest Of the people.
