President Harrison issued his proclamation on the 25th, convening the senate in extra session March 4th. Mexico will still require large quantities of corn from the United States to relieve the distress among the poor. The republican legislature over in Kansas is the legally organized body, so says the supreme court of the state. President Harrison has just 2 more days left, then he steps down and hands the reins of government over to Grover Cleveland.

Even the su preme ¢curt of the United States in the Hayes Tilden contest was not above this. but showed a partisanship astounding to the American people who had come to look upon this ju- dicial tribunal of last resort as some- thing holier thaa the ordinary, and prejudices ard passions of men. As to the virtues of the claims of the two Kansas Houses we know but little, but we do know that the republicans felt perfectly sanguine of the result as soon as they got it before the supreme court The pop- ulists pursued a very wise course in submitting to the supreme court They now have their claims before the people of Kansas, and there is little doubt that the question will be settled very differently than what it was by a republican court. If any doubt there had been as to the fate of the republican party in that state, this action settles it The republi- can party will never again control the affairs of the state of Kansas. . a.

Ho } tel and boarding house keepers, and their name is legion. look forward with pleasure to this magnificent opportunity for skinning the “jays.” Think of a room ina hotel costing $500 a day, and one in a_ private boarding house $300. If we had had any idea of going to the inau- guration, we would have invested in real estate earlier and paid for it by renting it to sightseers that day. Peace reigns supreme once more in the Kansas legislature. The pop- ulist members have surrendered to the republican house. It has been ahard and bitter fight with the warring factions and the state has suffered in consequence. The national association of demo cratic clubs has issued an address urging a continuance of the union and organization of democratic soci- eties. Bloomington turned out en masse to give Vice-President elect Steven- son a send-off on his journey to the inauguration ceremonies at Wash- ington. J. C.

The address will express Mr. Cleve saloon state license from $50 to $100, passed the hous on Monday and will uo doubt receive the governor’s sig- nature and become a law. Mr. Harrity is to be commended for his efforts to secure atrustworthy poll of congress on the financial ques- tion. The people have a_ perfect right to know where their servants stand. The Washington City dispatches state that ordinary rooms on Penn- sylvania avenue are renting for $300 for inauguration day. We could stay in Washington about 15 min- utes at that rate. The populist house at Topeka voted Wednesday last to move the Kansas state capitol to Kanopolis, It took just two minutes to railroad the bill through.

Instead of sending pigs and half fat hogs to market, as thousands have done only to fiud that such ani- mals were unfit for packing and would bring but a comparatively small price, these animals should be kept on the farm and fattened on the corn which is now so cheap in the market Harter’s Free-Coinage Bill. last we from one At have a free-coinage bill of the strongest sound money men in congress, Mr. Harter. “The bill throws open the mints to all comers for the free coinage of gold and silver upon equal terms at the present ratio. It thus places the two metals upon exactly equal foot ing. It provides that no coins of either metal hereafter made shall be legal tender. Here again it places both If, as the silver men contend, free coinage alone is necessary to bring silver back to a parity with gold, this measure should satisfy them completely. If under its operation the silver coins should be undercur- rent except at a lower value than the non legal-tender gold coius,that would only show that the conten- tion made by the silver men is er roneous ard that legal tender silver coins are in part fiat money, as the “gold bugs” have insisted that they are. If the silver men are sincere in their assertions they ought gladly to embrace so excellent an oppor tunity to prove their thesis and at the same time secure the free coin- age aud equal treatment of the two metals for which they have been so long clamoring.—N. Y. World. Shrinkage In the Cattle Crop. Washington, D C, Feb. 26.—The Department of Agriculture has just completed its cattle census. The results are startling. There is a de- crease shown in the number of stock cattle, and it is of such proportions as will have a marked effect on prices the coming year. The statistics show: “The scarcity of feed in Virginia induced farmers to sell off feeding bullocks closely. The no-fence law in some of the southern states has caused a reduction of numbers, the more worthless of the old stock fest improvement of the existing herds. The low price of cattle in the ranch regions, and the discour- agement after long waiting for a upon which he waselected. His ut- terance upon the financial policy, the tariff and economy of administration will be decisive and full of confidence jn democratic principles as able to deal with the problems of labor and capital, sectional divisions and polit ical unrest will be expressed. The abolition of federal interference with elections in the states will, it is said, be treated as a recognized decision of the people. The pension depart- ment, the new navy, rigorous quar- antine and the regulation of immigra- tion will probably receive attention. The president may not refer openly to the question of the annexation of Hawaii, but will take2a conservative stand on the subject and not act hastily.

There ap- pears little change in numbers of milch cows, a slight decline being re- ported in some states, and 4 small increase in others, especially in the districts of enlarging population in the distant west. There is less fluc tuation in this class of farm animals than in any other, as the milk sup- ply must be kept up, and ample pro- vision made for the relative uniform requirements of butter and cheese factories.” But the census of stock cattle shows there are 1,697,043 fewer now than one vear ago.

Sisters Brutally Slain. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 27.—Saturday afternoon, Miss Julia Force, aged 38 years, a member of an aristocrat- ic family here, sent all the servants away on errands, secured a revolver and shot her sister Florence, aged 30, who was sick in bed, through the head, killing her. Then she went to where ber other sister, Min- nie, aged 25 years, was sitting, aud shot her in the same way. Then she went quietly to the police station aud gave herself up She is un- questionably insane aud had before threatened to kill her sisters Miss Julia Force has given out a writteu confession in which she says she had killed her sisters because she was jealous of her mother and brothers. The statement shows evi- dence of the writer's insanity. The Force brothers have employed the best legal talent to defend her and will make a stubort ny 1 fight for her. The Plague Increasing. Paducah, Ky., Feb. 24.—The men- ingitis plague in Marshall county: Kentucky, has taken a fresh start. The first of the week the deadly dis ease appeared to have been checked but it is again rampant in Benton There were several new cases to day and two deaths. At Scale, a new locality, there are several new cases. At Calvert City, where the disease first appeared, there are many new cases. The disease is contagous! aud that fact is not to be disputed. The representatives of the state board of health attempted to inves | tigate it, but only went to Benton; and stayed less than three hours. To say that most of the people are ter- ror stricken only mildly expresses it. Many are leaving the county every day. The prospect now seems less favorable than eyer before and the people who have veen lulled in | to security by what seemed to be a check of the malady are again greatly alarmed Martin’s Election Not Prejudiced.
