the harvesting viii begin in southern
Kansas by June i.
Nothing can occur now to iniure the.

earth has been regularly soaked with
timely rains. Last night nearly all of.
central Kansas Was visited with
heavy downpours. the rainfall in sew
eral counties being more than three
inches.
Inspector Mckenzie and grain man
say the greatest danger threatened is
in the dearth of laboring men to har-
vest the great crop. Sumner county,
which alone has an acreage of 294 600,
Will have to get al least loo extra
men. The same condition exists in
twenty other counties.

Presidency.
Political Leaders Generally Think
He Will Be MoKinley's Run.
ming Mate

lister, in Bad Political.

Washington, May 2s.-As result of
the republican national subcommittee 1t
appears that the vice presidency is not
yet settled upon. II is believed the
elimination cf Roosevelt and Wnndruff
has been made final-the governor be-
cause he will not take it, and the lieu
tenant governor because he will not be
permitted to take it, Joe Manley and
other New England men say 1t has been
settled that Secretary Long is to be the
nominee for second place, and as such
s.to have a working nucleus Of seventy
eight delegates from New England,
With seventy-two from New York,
sixty-four from Pennsylvania, and
twenty from New Jersey, or a total of
23i to start with.
There is no doubt Of the>fact that
Secretary Longs name is mentioned
more frequently and with more signifi-
canoe than that of any other. He is like
ly To have, if present indications count
for anything. more delegates actually
behind him than any other one man.
While that is true. the vulnerability of
the secretary of the navy is admitted by
every practical politician. The leaders
do not particularly care to revive the
Schley question with all that 1T in
wolves. Long 9 injustic to Schley is too
we'll known the country over not to cons
vince the leaders that even IL the demo-
Gratis do not nominate Schley for second
place with Bryan. they can attack
Long. first for his hostility to Dewey,
which was notorious: next. for his jeal-
ousy to Roosevelt. which was scarcely
less we'll known; and. lastly, his Curl
Gus aptipathy to Schley.
A month ago Charles Emory Smith
Was believed to be the best available
candidate fer the vice presidency. The
Cuban postal frauds are believed to
have destroyed his -advisiability. nltho
he Was not responsible for them, except
by indirection. For tire same general
reasons the politicians generally argue
that Long would make an excellent vice
president, but most aboninable cam
didate.
The question of political availability,
was a good deal talked over by the COM
mitteemen Saturday. They say frankly
that there is an actual dearthof materi-
al for second place largely because VAR
ious men have declined 1t in advance
and thus '.dueerea the Job as5they say.
From political Standpoint. it is admit
tied the second place should 70 TO a
state which is doubtful. on which went
for Bryan in 1896. In all the central
valley the three doubtful states are put
down as Nebraska. Kansas and 1ndi-

VACANT CATHOLIC SEES.

of Mgr. Thomas Thorpe. of Cleveland
and DR.. Henry NIoeller, secretary of the
Cincinnati archdiocese, to the success

made.
1t is learned. however. that the au-
thorities in Rome favor the latter
priest, who received his theological
training there and is still comparative
a young man. DIR. Rocker of the papal
legation in this city, knows Dr. Noel

as to that candidates selection. Arch-

not be surprised If a compromise cam

of the Cincinnati province and the
priests of Columbus. was chosen at the
forthcoming consistory.
AS regards the vacant archdiocese OF

three months ago. similar disaffection
exists. which serves to retard his suc-

Ii Is stated in the dispatches that Milton
Turner. ex-mnister to Liberia, has called
at democratic headquarters in Chicago to
make speaking engagements for the cam
pa:gn. Mr.. Turner is not a new convert
He has been democrat for some years
and has frequently been on the stump for
that party. But his appearance this year
will be of a little more than ordinary in
terest. following upon the heels, as 1t will,
of the campaign which has just closed in
North Carolina in which his party took so
aggressive a stand against his race
IL Mr.. Turner secures engagements-and
presumably he will-where will they take
him? Not, of course. into the south. His
party does not need him there. Everything
there Is fixed for Mr. Bryan, without an
effort months in advance. And proba bly,
not into the border states. Negro stumpers
for democratic tickets have never been eff
fective there. Mr.. Turner therefore will be
likely to find his audiences in those middle
and eastern states where both parties make
play for the colored vote. and where that
vote. when massed for either side, cuts no
insignificant figure in the result
This vote in those states will be watched
with much interest this year. Will it in
any numbers indorse the openly declared
purpose Of the democratic party with re-
spect TO the great majority of the men of
that race? Will 1t support Mr.. Bryan, who

vocating its cause. but also by name and
profession" Hence Mr.. Stevenson was
chosen. So much for the democrats.
1t cannot be denied that Mr.. Towne has
acquitted himself well of his task In the
mere matter of dividing up his compliments.
Each of the three parties gets goodly
share agreeably expressed. But business
circles may be expected to drop into a re-
Elective mood at the reference to the time
when Mr.. Stevenson served in Congress
with General James B. Weaver. In those
days both Mr.. Stevenson and General Wea-
yer were greenbackers, and battling with
all their might in the cause of fiat money.
Since then. it IS true. Mr.. Stevenson has
served as Vice President with Grover Cleve-
land. and affiliated more or less pleasantly
with the sound money men. But Mr.. Towne
appears to vouch for him as being Sill n
friend of cheap money. and on that account
worthy of the support and confidence of
the populst party.
How will the sound money men of the
east and of the middle states receive this
assurance? How many votes will it Sc
cure for the ticket In those sections? How
eagerly may men of substance and bust
ness investments be expected to rally to
the support of ticket the second man on
which is eulogized for his rag money sem
timents and services of twenty years AID
more ago?

MIR. Towne., Withdrawal,

Mr.. Towne's declination of the populist
nomination for Vice President will cause
no surprise IN any quarter The nominal
felt that his candidacy would be, but 1; has
ali along been subject to Mr. Bryan's wishes
and orders. II he decided that II would be
To- his advantage for the nomination to
stand. why stand il would. if that it should
fan. why fall it would. The matter has
been under Amusement for some weeks. and
particularly since the Kansas City conven-
jion. and Mr.. Bryan has finally decided
against the nomination. And 50 it falls.
Mr. T1wnes letter is well written but
necessarily shows In its tone the circum-
stances of the case And they were ernbar-
RAISING. He had To jolly all factions. and
this gives to the deiiverance a little of the
flavor Of insincerity. The nomination would
have conferred distinction on any citizen.
So much for the popu!ists. The silver re-
publicans at Kansas City would gladly
have accepted the nomination but for the
attitude Of the democrats So much for
the silver republicans. The democrats at
Kansas City in rejecting the nomination
acted through no dislike or distrust of the
pOpulists. but solely because of ''geograph-
teal considerations. and the fact that in GER
tain parts OF the country IL was deemed
wise TO defer 10 sentiment demanding that
the candidate should be man absolutely
identified with the democratic organization.
not only by holding its principles and ad-
