Both Are Prohfbitionl.t..

A very remarkable thing is about
to happen in Kansas. w. E. Stanley,
the present governor, is sure to be
renominated by the republicans, and
it is regarded as a foregone conclu-
sion that John W. Breidenthal will be
nominated for the same office by the
democrats and populists. Both of
these gentlemen are outspoxen pro-
hibitionists, and for the first time in
the history of the state the leading
rival candidates for governor win
stand on the same temperance plat
form.-Kansas City Journal.
Fail to Reach an Agreement.
On an informal ballot the populists
of the Sixth district at Colby made DIR.
John B. Dykes, of Smith Center, the
choice for Congressman. The demo-
Gratis on informal ballot had already
designated Tully Scott, Of Oberlin, as
their standard-bearer. Two confer
ence committees of % members were
in session all night endeavoring to adj
just these differences, but failed to
reach an agreement. Propositions and
counter propositions were exchanged
and rejected.

G. A. r. Post on Dcwey's Trail.

Lincoln post of Topeka, the largest
Grand Army organization in Kansas,
adopted resolutions denouncing Adj
miral Dewey and demanding that his
invitation to attend the next national
encampment be revoked. They claim
that his presence there under the cir
cumstances would be regarded as an
attempt to drag politics into the G. A.
R., and imply that the soldier organ
ization was DESTROYS of booming his
candidacy for the presidency.

An Overwhelming thought.

Our Sun is a third-ratc sun, situated
in the milky way, one OF myriads Of
stars, and the milky way is itself one Of
myriads OF sectional star accumula-
tions, for these seem to be countless,
and to be spread over inhnity. At some
period OF their existence each Of these
suns had planets circling around it,.
which, after untold ages, are fit for
some sort OF human being TO inhabit
them for comparatively brei period,
after which they still continue for years
to circle around without atmosphere,
vegetation or inhabitants, as the moon
does around our planet. There is moth

be surprised to learn that. notwith-
standing the dense population OF China

become thickly populated, it is still the

about Pcking. now occupied by the al
lied troops, where villages dot the plains
every m.lc or two and the population
exceeds 1000 to the square mile, wolves,
foxes, raccoons, wcasels and rabbits are
so thick as to be pests, while such game

TRADE REVIEW.
A Week Of Poor Business In Retail and

November Failures.

X. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade" says: Commercial failures IN
November were $50 in number and $I2,-
.}oo,3lO IN amount OF liabilities, against
7S2 in October for $o,o72,7OI, and S80 in
November last year, when liabilities
were only $S,o46,Si8. Manufacturing
defaults were but Ig3 in number aud
$3.50, los IN amount the bulk Of the

were 10 other commercial failures, with
Liabilities of $9Io,7o3. -Four banking and
financial companies delaultcd for $S23,-
600. At first glance the November
statement appears very unsatisfactory
but it must be remembered that a few
heavy failures in wool and other textile
industries account for larSc share of
the reported liabilities. Aside from
this one branch OF trade, which has SUI
fered heavily from the tardy approach
of winter, the figures show business %
be on good foundation Holiday re-
tail trade starts off we'll A larger de-
mand Tor goods for current consump-
tion is the report from nearly all direc-
tions. Good news continues to come
from iron and steel sections. Sales of
pig iron in three weeks have aggregated
100000 tons at Chicago, and idle fur
naccs are going into blast indicating Il
much larger capacity now than on No
vember /. Buying OF all finished forms
increases, and some orders are placed
at slightly higher quotations. Railroads
are purchasing most literally. and ma
chinery is in sharp demand. Wheat, in
GLIDING flour, shipments for the week
aggregate 2,4o7 $50 bushels. against a.
S27 900 last week, 5000, 400 in the CORE
spending week of 1890, z,48Soso in 1898,

1890. From July to date this season
wheat exports are 77,7oo,267 bushels.

week aggregate 4,SoI.o3o against s.
235, ,56S bushels last week and A.44I,5IA
in this week year ago.
Bradstreets says: Unsettled weather
and holidays are drawback to retail
and jobbing distribution in many mar
kets, but the general situation is still a
most satisfactory one, and the iron and
steel. coal, boot and shoe, hardware
and lumber trades are conspicuously
well situated. The industrial situation
is also deserving of note because OF the
striking absence Of complaint as to
idleness or as to pending or future labor
troubles.
The feature in the grain market this
week was the carrying to a successful
conclusion OF the November corn corner
in Chicago. Following the private se.-
tlcment of the shorts, at basis OF 30
cents a bushel, came drop to 81 cents.
At New York the influence of this cor
ner--one OF the few successful corn
corners on record--was to advance
prices. owing largely to the DETECTION
OF supplies.
Wheat has been irregular, but with
the undertone bearish, because OF large
supplies and discouraged speculative
liquidation. Wheat. including flour,
