It is full to overflowing with American ideas. During the past campaign, a great number of Democrats in all parts of the country subscribed for the paper, in order to learn, from an undisputed source, the best the Republicans had to say for themselves; and the Repub licans followed its bold and uncom promising championship of their ideas with interest and admiration. "We are assured that the Tribune has done, this past year, the largest business in history. "We call particular attention to its announcement in another column. A Bright Trio. Three very bright afternoon Repub lican dailies come to ourHable, namely, the Abilene Reflector, the Kansas City (Kas.) Gazette, and Lawrence Tribune. There are other readable evening dailies, but these we always look over with especial interest. To peka Democrat. Money to meet the present needs o the Knights of Labor has been ad vanced by some of the members and the order will take another lease of life. Troy Chief: Fashions in collars will change in the White House after the 4th of March. The horse collar will be discarded for one of more modest dimensions. The Christain Citizen, of Topeka, antagonizes Burton for speaker of the House. The C. C. had better attend to its knitting and leave politics alone. Clay Center Times. The number of men springing up all over the country who were schoolmate of General Harrison leads one to be lieve that he must have belonged to the largest class ever known in a school-00m. It has been found, says the New York Tribune, that tobacco smoke will retard the growth of certain bacilli, and that the smoke of a strong cigar will entirely kill the germs of cholera and typhus fever. It is said that General Harrison is more puzzled over the question what to do with the bisons, eagles, jackrab bits, etc., that ar9 being sent him than over the duties of his office. Being , compelled to keep a menagerie seems to be the modern penalty for being great. One peculiarity of the present day is, that the laboring men, producers and old moss-back farmers, "grangers," are doing the thinking. U. L. Banner. Right you are. The above mentioned classes did the thinking this year and the result was 7.9,000 plurality for Har rison in Kansas and 239 electoral votes for him in the Nation. Although the Democratic candidate for Governor of Connecticut received more votes than his Republican oppo nent, he was not elected, not having received a majority of all the votes cast. The election is thrown into the Legis lature, a Republican body, which will most likely choose the defeated Re puplican candidate, Bulkeley. Prof. Blake, the Kansas weather prophet, in his weather table makes over 1,700 predictions made according to law. The weather in Kansas, he says, will, on the whole, be favorable to crops and that big crops will be raised. Not only does he predict big crops, but big price for the crops, also that Kansas farms will be in greater demand for cash sales next year at this time than at any time in her his--tory. The returns indicate that Harrison ran best where the Democrats lied most. He sweeps the Pacific slope in response to the Chinese lie. He sweeps Indiana and New York in response to the dollar-a-day lie. He sweeps the North and breaks the South in response to the whole bunch of calumnies. With these facts before them Democrats have an opportunity to learn something, but one of the essential conditions of Bourbonism is to learn nothing. Ex. The United States Supreme court now contains five Republicans and three Democrats. Two of the Repub licans are entitled to retire on full pay. Justices Bradley and Miller, being aoove ,u years of age, and Judge Blatchford will also be entitled to the same privilege In 1 892. On account of age these will no doubt retire during the next four years and their places be filled by other Republicans. Justice Field, Democrat, is likewise entitled to retire, as the other three mentioned and if he should take it into his head to do so his place would also be filled by a Republican. "With the changes likeiy to take place in make-up of the . supreme bench in the near future the Republicans will notj probably gain one member, but the court as re-constructed will give the party an indefi nite lease of control, even if the Demo crats should by any possibility succeed in the National election four or eight years hence. In regard to all questions of National importance, the New York Tribune is probably the .text book of greatest Ha The State Constitution. Just now there is considerable dis cussion over the present constitution of the State of Kansas. It is claimed by some that as the instrument was adopted long ago in war times, that it is unfit for the conditions exist ing in our prosperous commonwealth today, end that it would be a wise thing to have the coming Legislature provide for the adoption of a new con stitution. OWhile there are undoubtedly many defects in the present document and while a revision is manifestly needed, it is our judgment that the submission of a new constitution to the vote of the people would be a very unwise measure. In the first place tlie submission of a new constitution has seldom been car ried on satisfactorily in any of the States that have tried it. California was the latest victim and she has not yet recovered from the bitterness engendered by the contest. Kansas wants no factional fights inside her boundaries. She wants just now harmony and a unanimous effort to build up the State financially and otherwise. To attempt the constitution move ment would be to resubmit the prohibi tion amendment to the people. We do not want that question again handled. Prohibition in Kansas is a' success. To be sure liquor is sold here, but tlio boys of the State are growing up with out having seen a saloon and they are going to make better men for it. The old topers are dying off and the future manhood of Kansas will be far above that of the past. It is urged that there is no danger in resubmitting the prohibitory ques tion, that the liquor interest has no organization and that most of its leaders have left the State. Very true; yet in the time necessary to elapse before the new constitution could be presented to the people the hydra headed monster of saloonism would be back on its old ground prepared to wage the fiercest war this people has.. ever known. We cannot afford tn take any chances. y all means the wisest and cheapest method, the one which will commend itself to all thinking men and lovers of the fair name of Kansas, will be for the Legislature to appoint a revision committee which shall formu late in a series of amendments the changes desirable in the constitution and submit them to the people for en dorsement This will be a far better action than to plunge the State into a factional contest over the adoption of an entirely new constitution. .
