The New York Sun advises the dem- ocracy to look after New York. That journal, which is in the habit of seeing facts and discerning tendencies more clearly than other democratic organs, does not attach much value to the iden that there is a hopeful outlook for the democracy in the west by venson of tho third party movement. Tt tells its party that there is no certainty of securing tha 31 electoral votes of Kansas, Iowa and . “but in the effort it would be necessary to risk tho loss of the state of New York.” These western states, it re- marks, always hostile to democracy, “could only be brought into the demo- atic column by eoncessions which would prove fatal to the party in every sane and conservative community.” Tho Sun urges that tho democracy does not need for its candidate in 1802 the elec- toral votes of the extreme granger statos, and that to lay “sound and deep the foundations for democratic success in 1802 in Now York is the first duty of the democracy.” Doubtless this particularly 8o faet sound advice, and in view of the that the chances of the demo- eracy ecarrying New York in 1802 ure likely to be no better than they in 1888, Obviously the course of the party in that state would be ren- dered absolutely hopeless if it should give any countenance to the financial vagaries of the thivd party. But how will the democracy lay sound and deep tho foundations for succoss in the Km- pire stato with the w ing factions of its two aspirants for the presidency at one another’s throat? The Sun can ha expoeeta reconcilintion of theso bit- terly hostile olements while the leader of eithor the field as o candidate, and there is no probability that one of them will yield. Would the situation be materially improved by going else- where for a candidate? Could Gorman of Maryland, or Campbell of Ohio, or Gray of Indiana, or Palmer of [linois, 30 larmonize the democracy of New York as to enable it to lay sound and deop tho foundations for succass in that state? Probably not. Noone of these men be like! Lo create any onthusinsm among the w York democracy, or indeod with the party anywhere outside of their immediate constituency, The nomi- ination of either of these men would almost certainly insure New York to the republicans, The uomination of Clovel Hill, if thero is not a radi- m presont conditions, will publican chance of success bod.

Kansas City is fecling the ovil cffecta of the reaction from her unexampled prosperity. Times are dull as they are »pt that t'e nervous exhaus- tion has been greater, and the sick eity responds to ensegetic treatment loss veadily. Noevertheless our down-river ighbor is not asleep. Kansas City never been somnolent. She is built out of enterprise and lives and grows upon this upbuilding element. She, like Omaha, bas been casting about for a plan upon which her large and small property owners can unito in a grand of- fort to help the city on to renewed pros- verity, and has not only adopted the idea of our Real Estate and Property Owners’ Association, but has added a feature which is commended to the at- tention of that organization. The Kansas City association is a stock company with a paid up capital of $1,000,000. This capital is not to be do- nated to manufacturing entorprises in tho way of boruses, but is to be invested in them on behalf of the i Wach shareholder of the Kansas City or- ganization becomes a sharcholdor in such manufacturing concerns as may be in- duced to locate their plants in tho city. The association cannot contribute more than 50 per cent of the capital of such manufactory and the manufaeturing company is given the option at any tie of purchasing the association stock at par with 6 por cent interest. The association will also interest itself in securing donations of lands from property owners. Tho lands go into the common capital and are a part of the as- sets of the concern benefited, the asso- cintion stock receiving its proporsionate benefits with the outside capital. ‘The idea is o practical oné and offors a definite form of investmont for thoso anxious to seo a retura for their monoy, and rigntly managed can hocome a pow- erful means of pushing the city’s inter- est Cash in the strong box, whether it bo $1,000,000 or $100,000, talks in moro persuasive tones than advertisoments or personal letters to capitalists informing them of the resourcos of the city.

Within the next thirty days four poli- tical party conventions will bo held in Lowa, and four tickets will be placed be- fore the votors. The L will bo started by the independents who convene at Des Moines on the 3rd inst. The prohibition- ists will moot in the sume city for a similar purposo a weok later, On tho 24th the democrats got togother at Ot- tumwa, and finally on the Istof July, Codar Rapids will entertain about 1,000 delegates to the republican convention. It was supposed when the independent call was issued that the managors would make up n ticket upon which dicker could be made with the democrats for a fusion of interests. The Cincinnati dec larations for a third party, however, havo changed the complexion of the con- vention very materially and as the oppo- nents of a third party movement among local allinnces ave lavgely refusing to sond delegates itis entirely probable the mongrol crowd of ex-greenbackors, Calumity Wollers, and walking dele- gates will carry the indopendents into the Cincinnuti deparfure. crats will therefore be benefited only in an indirect manner, if at all, insteal of by fusion.

WITH the suspension of the publica- tion of the Alta California at San Fran- cisco goos down the oldest nowspaper on the ceast. It was started in the days of the argonauts and for 30 vears was the favorite newspaper of San i'rancisco. The Chronicle captured its ropublican patronage aud the Southorn Pacific made it a democratic newspapor, with John P. Irish, formerly of lowa, as its editor. It succeeded no better in the democratic ranks than asu republican ovgan, the Examiner outstripping it as a newspaper. The railway company wouried of carrying it and so it dies of suspended animation or heart failuvo. As a reminiscence it was interesting, but as & news purveyor it has long sinco been wholly useless. RUSSELL B. HARRISON finds about as many thorns as vosos in his bouquet of prominence as the son of the president. The fact is that the young man conducts himself with becoming dignity upon all asions. The intorviews sent out in which he is placed in awkward attitudes are usually fakes. His partnor in New York is inclined to bank a trifle on their relationship, much to the younger Harvison’s annoyance, but beyond his part ownership of the Judge and Frank Leslie’s and tho foolish stuff which Mr. Arkoll gets into those papers, Russell Harrison’s public and private behavior are boyond adverse criticism. Ho does not get the credit he deserves for his good senso and good judgment. —— OuR police force continues to keep up its hospital record.
