FOLLOWING the usual custom, the
INDEX publishes Gov. Stanley's thanks.
giving proclamation this week. 1t is
like the ordinary thanksgiving procla-
mation-pregnant with overdrawn bril-
liancy and silent as the tomb on the
dark side. Not one word for CHARITY.
not single reference to the destitute
and oppressed, nothing for those who
need assistance; simply an empty pal
aver and sweetened honey-comb. 1t
will do for those who are in good cir.
cumstances and know or care nothing
about those IN more unfortunate con.
ditlon, but 1t has the tendency to make
people weary who are posted on the
drift of events. 1t may be astounding
to say it, but there are people who be-
lieve that these proclamations should
be abolished unless they are made to
mean something and edify the people.
We need few Pennoyers and Pin
grees to issue thanksgiving proelama-
tions. They wake people up to the
condition of things and nobody is
harmed thereby, but great good results
from it. But these old formal stereo-
typ ed messages have good effect on
nobody. They rather serve to blind.
fold people who ought TO be doing
something to better themselves.

Judge A. M. Jackson is
elected in the Third congress
sional district after all, unless
the republicans succeed in
running a Filipino ranakaboo
over him. But our guess is
that Mr.. Jackson will never
get his seat. If they can't
get some handmedown re-
turns from the Philippines,
Mr.. Wheatley, the defeated
republican candidate, will
contest and the house will
seat him in spite of Jackson's
unquestioned election. Jack.

Gov. Stanley has given the
pie eaters under him a severe
pain in the abdomen by de-
claring that the fact that he
was reelected does not indi-
cate that those who hold Of
fees under him were. Many
changes will be made and
hundreds of curbstone poll
ticians have already packed
their grips preparatory for a
trip to Topeka to pay the
governor a friendly visit. Our
guess is that Barber county
has at least one patriot who
has his name in the pot.

Burton to Baker, and if he
succeeds in getting a seat in
the legislature he will vote
for D. S. senator. Chester [.

the throne. However, if the
man who was regularly elect

Baker nor Burton will get a

TRUSTS ON TOP.

A telegram was received on the floor
of the board or trade at Kansas City on
Wednesday, the day after the election,
and which was sent from the Chicago
board of trade, which read in substance
as follows:
I'm face OF three quarter cent ad-
vance abroad our market for wheat de-
clined one cent bushel. However, are
glad to state that the advance in stocks
and bonds amounted to S50,UOO, 900,
enough to pay for the entire visible sup.
ply of wheat in the country"
Democratic members of the board of
trade, since this development of how
Mckinley prosperity benefits holders
of trust stocks at the expense of the
producing classes, have made life bur-
den to their republican associates by
saying: Il told you So" The repub-
llcan members have attempted an ex.
PLANTATION of the decline In wheat by
saying that republican operators in an
ticipation ofMcKnley' s election bought
great quantities of wheat in expecta.
tion OF an advance and have been una
BILE to unload. During the past two
days wheat has regafDed the loss and
closed yesterday where it WAS the day
before the election. However, this
slight rally was due to the fact that re-
celpts were lighter yesterday than for
weeks before. The grain men, both
democrats and republicans, say that
the outlook is gloomy and that they are
disappointed.
F. Il. Warwick, member of the
board of trade, said: The day after
the election the three great flour mills
OF Minneapolis-the Pillsbury, Wash
burn CrOskby and the Consolidated
closed down. These three mills have a
daily capacity of 100000 bushels of
wheat, or $4,000 barrels of flour day.
They afford the largest market for Kan
sas wheat. Their concerted action
leaves no room to doubt that it Is for
the purpose of reducing the price of
wheat, and it will probably Succeed.
Then, when wheat is down, they will
buy in great quantities. These mills
have renamed closed, and We today re-
ceived kilograms from each of them
saying they could not take any wheat
off of our hands,"
Mr.. Warwick then spoke of the ad-
vance in stocks to which the telegram
quoted referred. ut should be remem.
bered that these stocks are what
are known as industrial stocks,
and are in every instance controlled by
trust. They include stocks In the
sugar trust, tobacco trust, oil, wire,
steel and nearly all other trusts. The
holders of these stocks were benefited
by the election in sufficient amount to
buy up all the wheat now in the United
States, while the farmer lost one cent
on every bushel, and the outlook is
more than probable that the temporary
reaction precedes still greater decline.
This state of facts make clear the
contention that the republican
brand of prosperity is that which makes
a few more rich and impoverishes the
producers of the country
Saturday an associated press dispatch
stated that Standard oil stocks were
bid for on Wall street at 500, and none
would sell at that figure. The highest
former price for the stocks was 1855.
At par the stock is worth $97 500 OOO
At the price bid it is worth 1852, 500, 900

By way of a reminder We
might suggest that the cleo
ton returns from Kiowa
township did not pan out ac-
cording to the ante-election
bulletins sent out by certain
gentlemen of that burg. The
worst of it is that we are as
sured that Kiowa township
will henceforth be in the re
publican column. We hope
that is a mistake, yet there il
reason for suspicion.

The Democrats will meet for the pur-
pose of selecting candidates for Sena-
tors and Representative for the Island
Of Oahu, and at the same time choose
delegates to a Democratic Territorial
convention. The chairman invites all
Oahuan Democrats TO attend, and bring
with them the pipe of peace and har-
mony. Nothing is said about bringing
in a string of wampum but the big
chiefs are said TO have a pow-wow
over the question of funds to carry on
the campaign, and the matter will be
sprung upon them Monday night
Three candidates for the House of
Representatives from the Fourth Dis
trict and three from the Fifth viii be
chosen. The procedure in making their
selections will probably be the same in
vogue among the Republicans. Each
district will select its candidates and
the final choice viii be made by COM
mittees of both districts.
