We see from the Republic that a gigantic barbed wire trust has been formed by all the manufacturers with headquarters at Chieago, and a rise in the price of wire will take place. President Harrison has just salt- ed down $20,000 in a business block in Indianapolis. “Individually con sidered, the present Administration is a model of thrift and economy.— Kansas City Star. The motion for a new trial in the Noland case has been overruled by Judge Burgess. Noland's last re- sort now is the supreme court, and in case he receives no comfort from this tribunal he must go to the pen. Se McKinley has taken the stump in in Ohio for high teriff. The farmers ailiunce which met in that state some time ago resolved against the tariff. We will wait until November ee if they vote us they resolved. Mr. McKinley must have their sup port or his name is Dennis. and The same conditions that forced Senator Quay to resign bis position at the head of the republican party, should now be applied to make him resign his seat in the United States senate. If he is too corrupt for one place he is too corrupt for the other and the republican party should see that he steps down and out. Com- missioner Raum ought to go with him. A large majority of the Kansas farmers are unable to hold their wheat as requested to do by the alli- ance circular letter,and are selling at | the market price. If you will notice and look about, you will find the men most successful in this world's gcods are the men who attend to their own business and do not trust to others to do their trading. A wise man looks out for No. 1 and lets oth- ers do the same. The senatorial tight is ou in Ohio between Sherman and Foraker, and the Globe-Democrat rises to remark that “the republican party may again lose the legislature, aud per- haps governor, and adds that the senator contest should be waged after the election and not before.” Provided Ohio goes democratic the Globe-Democrat is paving the way to say after the election that the sen- atorial fight did it. Judge J. R. Claiborne, of the St. Louis court of criminal correction, rendered his decision last week de- ciding the pool law passed by the last legislature unconstitutional. Gov. Chas. P. Johnson who has been retained by the prosecution refused toappear unless Judge Claiborne vacated his seat on the bench. and produced letters and other eyidence that Claiborne had not only opposed the law and lobbied against its pas. sage, but had anunderstanding with the pool men before haud that he}: would declare the law unconstitu tional. Judge Claiborne is placed in a very bad light before the public unless he can clear his skirts of these charge® | CONGRESSIONAL REDISTEICTING. | Democratic statesmen and papers | | all over the state are agitating the!
