For President of the United Statee, BENJAMIN HARRISON, OF INDIANA. For Vice President of tlie United States, WMTELAW REID, OF NSW YORK. Tlie new Kaunas City directory contains 00,800 names. Tlie new hotel that was to have been built this summer has not yet materialized. Lack of a site, or of funds, is said to be the matter. General J5idwell used to own and run a distillery. But competition became so strong that the profitsjwere cut down, and the good old militia veteran sold out and joined the Pro hibition party. It is explained that Gen. Steven son cut off tho heads of only 40,000 Republican postmasters. The gen eral's moderation is no doubt at tributable to the fact that he was working under a civil service reform administration. There will be a big delegation of taxpayers out working on Saturday, all opposed to the giving of the pro posed franchise. It is not new works that they oppose, but new works with higher rates and no bet.er ser vice than at present. The West Side Republicans will meet at St. Joseph's hall Saturday night and organize a Republican club. It is expected there will be a largo turnout and tho club will start out with a big membership. Organ ization is what is needed at present. The water works question is still the order of the day. If the pro posed franchise is adopted, Las Ve gas is likely to pay a higher price for water inside of a year and bo no better off for a good supply. If a good fair proposition is made on the question no one will object to having new works and a larger and better supply, but this franchise is "heads I win, tails you lose." Ex-Governor Warmouth, of Louis iana, in conversation said: "You can put me down as saying that Har rison is going to carry the electoral vote of Louisiana. Our people want protection for their sugar, rice and lumber, and tho free trade plank in the Democratic platform is a little too hard a dose for them to swallow. I don't think Cleveland will carry a singlo northern state. The American people are not yet ready for free trade." A St. Louis hardware merchant tho other day was arraigned in court for tapping a wire of one of tho elec trio light companies and securing his illumination free. The charge against him was theft. Ho was al lowed to go harmless, the court holding that the act alleged against him did not constitute theft. This seems scarcely just. The charge appears to have been admitted. If the man had obtained the illumina tion of his house or business place by the secret taking of tallow can dles, keroseno oil or gas he would have been held guilty. The availability of G rover Cleve land as a presidential candidate was based upon his alleged popularity. Now that be has been nominated, a Utile cold, frozen truth will do no harm these hot July days. Let's stt what the figures Bay. In Alabama m 1888 Cleveland received nearly 40,000 votes less than the Democrat ic candidate for governor; in Louisi ana more than 60,000 less, and in New York nearly 15,000 lens. In Virginia, West Virginia, North Car olina, Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware and Connecticut, his voto was less in 1888 than it was in 1884. The interests of Republicans in New Mexico demand that all petty personal differences be buried and a shoulder to shoulder effort be made to indulge in fair play and name the winners on all tickets, county, legis lative and congressional. Mistakes of the past can now be turned to good account if Republicans will calmly reflect upon the situation. The outlook is certainly excellent, and by the right sort of work, each Republican showing a spirit of toler ation and forbearance toward his neighbor, victory can be made an easy matter. Let Republicans reflect upon this subject. New Mexican. A week's trial at St. Louis has demonstrated the fact that horse rac ing by electric light is no longer a matter of speculation or experiment. The results of the initial attempt at South Side park during the past week show that the scheme is eminently successful from all standpoints. One evening a number of eastern capital ists were present and went away satisfied after what they had seen that this idea could bo successfully carried out provided like any other form of amusement, it took with the public. Tho attempt to run horses at night by artificial light is not a late one. It has been tried repeatedly before in this country, France and England, but the St. Louis Post Dispatch says never with any great success. The proposal to get up a fund to push and advertise the town and county is the best thing, in a small way, proposed lately. A few years ago we had three or four men who did a great deal of advertising. They brought in money and people and helped tho place very much. They have gone out of business,for various reasons, and since then there has been less activity in real estate sales. It is a great deal better time now to advertise this section than it was at that time, and if taken hold of prop erly can be made of great benefit to the place. Eddy and Roswell are about the only places in the territory that are advertising, and they are selling property every day, and if inducements are held out to pur chasers they will come here also. President Manvel, of the Atchison road, who has been devoting several weeks to a thorough inspection of the system, returned to Chicago and left for New York to attend the meet ing of tho advisory board of the Western Traffic association. Mr. Manvel found the property every where in good condition and the prospect for increased freight busi ness for the next twelve months were never better. He reports immense crops all through the southwest and in California. Concerning the re ported intention of the company to extend tho road from Los Angeles to San Francisco Mr. Manvel had nothing to say, but it is known that while on the coast he engaged an expert to make for him a complete and accurate map of the country. E. C. Ilickey, field agent for the Kansas state university chinch bug experiment station, is homo from a trip through some of the southeast ern counties of the state, where ho hat been traveling in the interest of bug extermination. Ho visited Moontgomery, Labette, Anderson, Allen, Coffee and other counties, and reports that whilo tho bugs have done little damage so far this year, yet they aro beginning their ravages on the corn fields, and the demand for infected bugs is increasing. In Labette some fields have already been considerably injured. Tho in fected bugs, however, are doing good work for tho farmers. The infection used now is a parasite that kills the huge, tho white fungus not being as deadly as last year because of the re cent dry weather. Mr. Hickey says the farmers have all faith in tho iu fection and they aro using the dis eased bugs according to directions, something it was difficult to persuade them to do last year. The experi ments so far this year have been highly gratifying. Keep tho upper grates of the cook ing range free from ashes and less fuel will bo consumed. Goss Military Institute.

New York Tribune: Tho Demo cratic poet is growing pale and ema- I ciated trying to find a rhyme for Ste venson. Boston Traveller: Adlai Steven son need not be at any pains to deny his war record. Fact is he has no war record. Omaha World-Herald: If Mr. Stevenson knew whit trouble his given name was causing tho tele graph editors he would change it instanter. Philadelphia Call: Mr. Steven son has been advised by leaders of his party not to talk, but he can't keep his tongue from wagging, it seems. St. Louis Star-Sayings: The tail of the Democratic ticket seems to havo been glued on in the darkness. It don't fit, though it will stand com parison with the other end of the animal. New-York Mail and Express: Ad lai Stevenson is coming to this city to receive his formal notification of what they did to him at Chicago, lie should bring a letter of introduc tion. Philadelphia Record : The advice to Stevenson to keep quiet came too late. His past record and his pies sent prattle about it has afforded enough campaign material to last the summer through. Minneapolis Tribune: According to the Evansville Courier, Candidate Stevenson is a first cousin to the gift ed John McKenzie. "Now," says the Boston News, "if somebody will explain who John McKenzie is the country will breathe easier." Let tho country prepare to breathe. Ho is first cousin to Candidate Steven son. Milwaukee Wisconsin: It is dis covered that Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic candidate for the vice presidency, ran for congress on the Greenback ticket in lnT8. A man who finds it necessary to deny that ho was a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, and who can not deny that he was a leader in the Greenback heresy, is incapable of adding much luster to even the tick et of the old mildewed Democratic i,arty- Getting Campaign Ammunition. The house appropriation commit tee is looking forward to the ad journment of congress, and with this view has taken in hand a compilation of figures which is to show the econ omic policy of the first session of the 53d congress. Ex-Speaker Reed re cently demonstrated to tlie country, in his remarks on tlie floor of tlie house, that the appropriations of this session exceed tho appropriations made by tho last Republican con gress during its first session about 140,000,000. But the appropriation committee may bo relied upon to fix matters so they will show a balance, though they are not yet all fixed, but alcing Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard. A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. Superior to every other known. Delicious Cake and Pastry, Light Flaky B.'cutt, GriJdlc Cakes, Palatable and Wholesome. i 'io other Lakiijij powder docs such work. so far as they havo been fixed they have been used by way of contrast with similar appropriations of the last congress. That this is going on is supposed to bo a secret, and it is not known whether the comparisons are meeting expectations. In a general way, how ever, it can be stated that the Demo crats are now straining every effort to keep the appropriations as report ed by the various conference com mittees down to the smallest amount, in order to make the right kind of showing. This would indicate that the comniiltc is not leelingqu'tcsure of its undertaking. The statement is to bo issued just before the c'Oie of the session, which is now quite generally set for July 28 or August 1. Mr. Reed and several prominent Republicans in the meantime will themselves probably prepare a state ment which will form a valuable key to the figures of Messrs. Holman, Dockery and associates. Pbaise foe Kansas. Tho Kansas City Journal says Mr. James Anderson, of Boston, passed through the Union depot Tuesday en route homo after a trip through Kansas. Mr. Anderson was un bounded in his praise of Kansas. In speaking of it ho said: "All the good that has been said of agricultural Kansas is true, and as to the bad that has been said of it, there is not the semblance of truth to it. In my business as a banker at homo I had grave apprehensions for my interests in Kansas, and those of my friends, but I have traveled! through a portion of that great 6tate and I am only sorry that ray invest ments there are no larger than they are. Why, think of it, a young man whom I sent out one year ago and put on 200 acres of land, this year will own every foot of it and not owe a cent as tho result of one year's crops. "Besides tho Kansas land, there is much to be satisfied with the Kan sas farmer. Even with good crops farmers have been known to lose money, but I have seen how carefully wheat is being taken care of, how much attention is being paid to the shock and the cap sheaf, and the thorough manner in which tho bun dles aro eventually stacked, and all this goes to convince me that within the last two years Kansas has ad vanced a decade. Their years of want taught the farmers to husband their means, and the consequence is that every ear of the great abundance that mother nature has given the fanners this year will be put in tho bin, and this is the last year there will ever be any $10 an acre land in Kansas."
