THE ELECTION SITUATION.

1t is now, two. months and al half I'M
til the presidential campaign closes.
Now that both presidential candidates
have been notified and have replied
thereto, it is possible to form some ideas
of the outlook from a midsummer
standpoint. The impression is out that
owing to Mr.. Bryan's conservative
speech at Indianapolis, the uncertain
attitude of the Germans and the re-
turn of Gold Democrats the Nebraskan
has gained ground before the people of
late. But admitting this truth Mr..
Bryan is yet heavily handicapped. The
indications are today that the old solid
SOUTH" including Kentucky and Mary
land, with 151 votes can be safely
counted on for the Democratic ticket to
start with. Mr.. German and Senator
wellington vouch for Maryland, and in
Kentucky the anti-Gobelites have de-
clared for Mr.. Bryan. while endorsing
the Republican candidate for governor
The Courier-Journal and Henry Wat
terson-a power in the bluegrass COM
monwealth-are also back in line. As
Mr.. Mckinley only carried the state
by about 500 votes in 1896, it is fair
to assume the changed conditions will
result favorably for the Democrats
Delaware is another state that at this
date may reasonably be counted for
the Democratic ticket, owing to the
factional fights among the Republicans,
they having two sets of electors in the
field. The drift in the mountain states
has undoubtedly of late been toward
the Republican ticket, but the majori-
ties will hardly be cut down enough in
the greater portion to carry them into
the Republican colmn.
At this date Nevada, Utah, Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Montana and Nebraska
seem safely anchored in the Bryan col
umn with "a votes. This added to the
ISL of the solid south, and Delaware's 3,
would give Mr.. Bryan 17S electoral

KANSAS NOT SO BAD OFF.

Kansas will have some corn Tt may
NOT be full crop but 1t will be enough
to let the rest of the world know that
the state has not gone out of business
Every year about August some one
starts a report that the corn crop is
ruined and almost every year the crop
man is compelled to revise his figures
Kansas always produces corn and every
thing else that makes the heart of the
farmer glad.
Kansas is not exempt from short
crops-what state is? There are times
when the farmer is decidedly gloomy
but perhaps at the same time the far
mers of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are
also ''in the Dumps Kansas can not
have all the good things and can not
expect to produce 15O,000.000 bushels or
more of corn every year.
When the final figures are made for
the Kansas corn crop this year it Will
be found that the farmers of the Sun
flower state are not SO bad off after all.

PUNISHMENT OF INNOCENT.

The International Prison congress will
meet in Brussels in few days and viii
consider questions relative to the i'm
provement of the condition of the pris-
oners in penitentiaries-
The congress has done much good and
the improved conditions of the different
prisons are due in great NEE sure to it.
There has been great progress in the
mana cement OF our prison system dur
ing the past ten years and there is al
ways room for still greater improve
ment. Now the penitentiary is not
place where men are ill-treated and
abused, or the contrary a prisoner has
every necessary of life and many Of its
comforts. He looses only his liberty. File
is given little work compared with the
average laborer on the outside and in
some states has work to do. He is
furnished with library and is given ev-
cry opportunity to improve himself men
tally and morally. Re formation is now
the idea that is being carried out; the
old idea of punishment, except loss of
liberty is being abandoned almost every
where.
There is one point of crime that will
come up for discussion before the con-
gress that will be of great interest, and
that is to see if some means can not be
found for the aiding of the family OF the
victim. The murderer is cared for and
educated by the state, but the family
which is left without it's bread winner
receives no assistance. There is an in
justice in this that is very striking.
There should be some remedy for the in
justice-the simple Imprisonment of the
guilty and the suffering of the innocent
is an injustice. 1t is difficult problem
and one that has been thought over fire.
quently and it is hoped that the congress
may suggest practical remedy.

WANTED-AN CANCEL. /.
Kansas Inventors Write to the Com
mercial Club.

P. B. Homer and c. E. Hedrfck of
Clements, Kan, have invented and pat
ented machine for heading Kaffir corn
They have not the capital to build a
manufa ctory and have written to Secre-
tary Anderson of the Commercial cIuE
asking if he knows of any one who may
be induced to interest themselves in the
matter to the extent of manufacturing
them and putting them on the market.
Mr.. Anderson has referred them to the
Currie Bros. company which has recent
ly established plant in this city for the
manufacture of windmills.
The header machine is constructed so
as TO travel between the rows of stand
ing stalks and to cut the heads off and
leave the stalks stand until matured.
Kaffir corn grows to an average height
of four and one-half feet and the heads
ripen long before the crop is ready to be
harvested. If the heads are left upon the
stalks until the fodder is in a condition
to cut the seeds shell out and are wasted
where on the other hand if the crop is
cut when the seed Is ripe the fodder will
mould.
BY using the machine the crop may be
gathered at the proper time and the fod-
harvested at its proper time. The in
ventors took out patent on the ma
chine in October of last year but have as
yet done practically nothing towards
putting it on the market.

AN ADRoIr POLITICIAN.

William J. Bryan is one of the most
adroit politicians that ever lived. He
has been before the public more than
any other man for the past five years
and every word he has uttered has been
carefully weighed and scrutinized. Still
in all that time he has not made what is
commonly called a break"
The opposition has watched the Ne
braska candidate anxiously. Stenogra-
piers have followed him but the Bryan
equanimity has never been lost and he
has never been called upon to question
the report of any speech. His interviews
have also been models of adroitness and
only once or twice has he denied the SEN
timents attributed to him in newspaper
interviews.
Politicians waited anxiously for the
Topeka speech. The opponents of Bryan
expected that he would be compelled 20
commit himself to- the cause of the Pop
ulist party. But he handled the matter
in such a way that while the Populists
We're satisfied with his avowals nothing
was said with which the radical Demo-
Gratis could find fault.
There have been few men in active DO
litieal life whose utterances have been
so free from public criticism as those OF
MI. Bryan. People might differ with
him but they could never claim that he
was out of harmony with his party or
that he departed from the bounds of pro-
priety

WHAT IS CIVILIZATIONS

[From the Philadelphia CALL
We hear much in these days of ciVili-
cation of barbarism and of savagery,
yet to define these terms and draw lines
between that which is civilized, barbar-
Gus or savage is at times most difficult
Perhaps one of the clearest definitions
of the first term was that given by the
late Lord Russell at Saratoga in 1896.
The true signs of civilization are
thought for the poor and suffering,
chivalrous regard and respect for wo-
man, the frank recognition of human
brotherhood, irrespective of race or
color or nation or religion, the narrowing

must make for peace"
The standard set up by the late chief

look around upon the nations of the
earth and ask the question: Where is

TIRED OF POLITICS.

William Allen White announced not
long ago in the Emporia Gazette that
in order to make a political meeting
in his town a success it is necessary to
call it by some other name.
That also seems true of Topeka if the
recent political gathering is critic
rion. The hepchmen, strikers, ward
heelers, office holders and would-be Of
flee holders of every party turn out at
the drop of the hat for political meet
ing. but the business man, the farmer
and those Disguised with politics in
general refuse to be dragged to a dusty
picnic ground or into a sweltering hall
to be told that If they do not vote the
way the speakers say they ought to
they are not intelligent citizens.
To have a presidential nominee noti-
fed of the fact that he is in the race
for president is an event that occurs
but seldom and is looked upon as an
attraction" and but one notification
has been made in Topeka Last week
there was a circus in the city, and
$1,000 people crowded into the tent to
see what most Of that number have
seen time and again. Circuses come
every year and sometimes twice and
three times a year. At least 5000 came
from out of town to see the elephants
The crowd which attended the Bryan
notification is estimated at $780, and
there were probably not over $500 Wis

and Roosevelt They are seen on the
lapels of coats. attached to neckties,
pinned on the front Of hats and in other
conspicuous places. The makers of
these alleged photographs of those men
are liable to prosecution under the

The Populists have no candidate for
vice president, SO the combination in
Kansas is Bryan and Breidenthal on a
round medallion. Credentials picture
resembles a man who was about to

as large as the reproduction Of the

as the possessor of a neck wider than

with little resemblance to the original.
While Bryan was speaking at the
state house the campaign button vender
was screeching about the ware he had
for sale. In Mr.. Bryan's face he yelled:
Get your buttons here. here, here" He
disturbed the people and annoyed the
guest of honor. Let it be said to the
credit of Kansans that those who do
not wear campaign buttons are in the
