As a matter of course, the Populist
lierlin Kecord commends the action of
Messrs. Kooser, Hicks and Thropp in
preventing the Iicpublicans of this im
portaut Congressional district from hav
ing a regularly nominated candidate
for Congress to vote for at the coming
election. The Record hopes to see Mc-
Xamara, who stands squarely ujmi the
lpoeratic platform, aud who has de
clared himself in favor of free trade,
free silver, repudiation and anarchy,
represent this strong Republican dis
trict during the first two years of Mo
Kiulev's administration. Hut the Rec
ord does not voice Republican senti
ment, and when it tries to relieve from
responsibility gentlemen whose per
sonal ambition permitted them to jeop
ardize the election of a Republican Con
gressman, it is simply shooting in the

wherever known as two of the most

vious experience in the Commissioners'
office, and the latter will bring with
him that ripe experience that has caus
ed him to be singled out by his neigh
bors for nositions of trust. The office
of Commissioner is perhaps the most
important to the tax payers of any of
the County offices, and men like Messrs.
Kimmel and tlood, who have been em
inently successful in the conduct of
their private and public affairs, will
look after the duties of that office with
an eye to rigid and wise economy
Kimmel and Uood will receive every

future a-piratUs for public office.

Judge Simonton, Thursday, handed
own an opinion declaring mvaiiu ids
certificates of nomination of Senator Wil
liam B. Meredith and W. H. Kilter, the
contesting Republican candidates for Sen
ator in the Armstrong-Butler district.
In this cane Jere It. Rex, a representa
tive of the State Committee, participated
iu the conference, and voted for Mero-
ith. Bitter was nominated by the three
Butler conferees, w hich the Court decides
ere a miuority of the conference.
The Court takes the stand that "there
is nothing in the case that would warrant
decision that Mr. Ilex was a legal mem
ber. It is not claimed or pretended tnat
there is any written rule which authoris
ed the SUte Central Committee or its
hairiuan to appoint him a memtier. ' But
it is argued that there was a custom
hich authorized it and a necessity which
warranted it, We can not
find a custom in the evidence.
There can be no doubt that some remedy
for the existing state of alrairs ought
speedily to be sought and applied. The
machinery at present in use for making
'ougrcttsionai and Senatorial nominations
has in many eases brokon down com-
letely wbeu set in motion. The influ
ence of local aud county pride and jeal
ousy tends strongly to prevent agree
ment. And the evils of the system aro
greatly aggravated by the rule w hich au
thorize candidates to select the confer
ees. Naturally they select their per
sonal friends, and they, after being select
ed, consider themselves the agents and
representatives of the candidates who se
lect them, rather than of the party. In
consequence of this their minds are not
open to Impartial consideration of the
merits and availability, of the respective
candidates or to impartially weighing the
interests of the party to which they be
long.
It is not for us to prescrilie a remedy
Fok the first time in its history the
Herai.w is without the name of a can
didate for Congress at the head of its
columns two weeks prior to a Congres
sional election, and, for the first time
since its formation, the Republicans of
the Twentieth Congressional distnc
have been practically disfranchised, so
far as voting for a regularly nominated
Republican candidate I concerned, and
w ill le compelled to vote an etuascula

ponsibility for this unprecedented and
calamitous state of aflairs rests wan
f-u- individuals who. by their aimo:
criminal grwnl and selfishness, thei
willingness to sultordinate party and
country to personal gain and personal
ambition, brouzht it about. That thei
constituents will call them sternly t
account for their betrayal of confidence,
their neglect of duty, their reckless and
shameless trilling with their most sa
cred privileges, goes without saying.
But, of this we will speak more tully
at some other time. It would be a hor
rible criminality if this staunch Rcpuli
lican district, with its stupendous nian-uf.i-'nritig
industries, should, at this
time of 'l othtrs, be lost to the party
whose principles represent its every iu
tenV, and whose success at the jsills
will bring prosjicrity, contentment and
huppiness to its people, and should lie
rcpn-sented in the Federal Congress by

free silver, repudiation an J dishonor.
And this will most likely come to pass

Messrs. Josiah I). Hicks and Joseph K.

One or the other should withdraw, if
the district is to I saved, aud that

Wonderful Helta XsUar.
Helen Kellar has scored another tri

by ber marvelous sense of touch, in mas

and has just pasaed the examination nec
essary to enter Radcliffe colleee, the
women's annex to Harvard university.
While the questions were being read to

questioner. Then she turned quickly to
a typewriter, and in a trice transferred
her thoughts to paper in neat typography
and marvelously correct English, finish
ing each paper withiu the specified time

This wonderful girl Is the daughter of
a Confederate oflicer, w ho was later a
United States Marshal of Alabama. She
wan born July 27, 1SS0. When eighteen
mouths old disease stripped her of all
ber senses, but that of touch, and until
she was seven years old no attempt was
made to educate ber scientifically, deem
ing it impossible to force light into her
dark mind through the one source left to
her.
In 17, however, Helen was brought
up from her Alabama home to Boston
and placed in the Perkins School for the
Blind, where she was confided to the lov
ing care of Miss Sullivan, one of the
teachers.
MisM Sullivan devoted her life to the

Now Helen can talk distinctly, utter

43,000,000 For the Famers.
From the New York Tribune, X-t. 15.
On Tuesday the chming price for Octo
ber winter wlieal was i4.S7 cents, a rise
nco July 1 of b!J cents, and iu some of
the options the rise has been even great-
Yesterday a sharp decline occurred
with speculative realizing, but was at
ouce followed by as slurp a recovery,
and the price closed at 7t". cents. This
advance of nearly 'IA cents in the cash
price of wheat haa been closely followed
at Chicago, where wheat is now selling
at about 70 cents. Nor have the farmers
to bear higher rail rates than were paid
summer. In brief, reckoning only
bout 3U l.diiil.liiii J bushels as the quantity
sold for distant shipment, the rise has
been worth alsmt 10,(11 M,0t)U to the
farmers, w hich is more than the entire

tory. He says: "On August 19 I gave to
a representative of the press, at his earn
est solicitation, a prognostication of the
rult of the Presidential election. In
this I said I tielieved that McKinley and
Hobart would carry at least twenty-eight
States and receive fully 3"2 electoral votes
and a majority of tbe popular vote. This
opinion I still confidently adhere to.
"In, my judgment, the Republican can
dates w ill receive the electoral vote of the
three Pacific States. California, Oregon
and Washington, and also Wyoming.
They w ill carry the three Southern States
of .Vary land, West Virginia aud Ken
tucky, and have more than an even
chance iu Missouri. They will carry the
six New England States and the four
Middle States, New York, Pennsylvania.
New Jersey and Delaware, hy over
whelming majorities. They will-eccive
the electoral votes of JJorth Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, luwa,
Illinois, Indiaua, Qhiu, Michigan aud
Wisconsin.
"This prognostication is tl result of
tbe most careful iuquiry of the men
w hose source of information and judg
ment are most to l relied upon in the
management of the Republican cam
paign. I would not at ail be surprised to
see McKinley and Holiart reive a mill
ion plurality in the four great States of
the I'nionNcw York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Ohio,"
A Female Bandit.
The death of IIlen Porsland, otine a fe
male bandit, hut afterward converted
and a member of the Salvation Army,
has occasioned a great deal of regret
throughout the West- She died at Butte,
Montana, on Monday.
Passing under the name of Kate
Evans, she was one of the inn t famous
characters that ever terrorized tbe West,
and was implicated in stage rebberie in
Idaho, Oiegon, Washington, Moutana,
and California. She went for many
years attired in man's clothing, with her
hair cut short. Her sweetheart sacrificed
himself for her, and is now serving a life
sentence in the San Quentin prison be

by his faithfulness and began to muse on
the step which be bad taken for her sake.
While thus meditating she was in the

he maintains, w ill take on a value of
1.29 and, therefore, w heat will reach that
price. Should there he, he argues, no ad
vance in the price of silver there will lie
no increase in the price of wheat In
other words one controls the other.
What are the facts? Withiu the past
week wheat has jumped "lo a bushel in
pri-e ami since the first of September
nearly 31 cents. Last Monday wheat sold
in Chicago, which is naturally the grain
selling renter of this country, for (ft cents
per bushel, w hen the wheat market
closed on Saturday wheat sold for "
cants per bushel (and at San Francisco
for si cents 1, and the dispatches state that
there is a prospector still further advance
this week, all of which is g-Ksl news to
be farmer who haa wheat to sell.
But has silver taken a jump in price iu
proMrtion to wheat.? It baa not. On
Saturday liar silver was quoted in New
urk at w cents per ounce, or p)J rents
less than the price of a bushel of wheat
Silver did not jump with wheat. The
Mexican dollar was quoted in New Yonk
on Saturday at 30' cents. The Mexican
dollar is cents shy of the price of
bushel of wheat, and has more silver i n
it tbau the American dollar.
A dispatch from Chicago says:
"In produce it would lie impossible to
calculate iu dollars the value to the conn
try at large of the recent advance in ce
reals. Corn has gained 5 cents equal to
$10o,0or,0i on the crop; wheat has ad
vanced 14 cents equal to $."iO.OiiG,100; oats
gained 4 cents, equal to .aWoO.

Nkw Y'okk, Oct, l.V John S. Wise,
formerly of Virginia, who has l"en msk
tniT camtiaisn tour in that State, bil
at Republican headquarters to-day said:
"So far as the actual vote l concerned
we shall undoubtedly carry Virginia, but
whether that vote will be counted as east
is another matter. I have intimate
knowledge of the sentiment of Virginia
people and I have never known anything
like the condition thpre now. The Dem
ocratic party is split over the money ques
tion, but aside from that it has been
steadily losing ground for year.
"Cleveland carried the State over
Blaine by 3W or 30i0 only. Then, in the
Harrison campaign Cleveland had only
about loOO. How can a psrty stand that
percentage of loss, in addition to the
sound money defection of this fall and
hope to win?"

Soma Lineala Ideas.
"What Is the true condition of tbe la
Imrrr?'' the President asked In an ad
drematNew Haven. "I tike it that it
is the best for all to leave each man free
to acquire property as fast as he can.
Some will get wealthy. I don't believe
in a law to prevent a man from gettiDg
rich ; it would do more harm than good.
So while we do not propose any war upon
eapittl, we do wish to allow tbe humblest
man an equal chance to get rich with
everybody else. When one starts rxior, as
most of us do in the race of life, free so
ciety is such that he knows he cau belter
his condition. He knows tluit there is no
fixed condition of labor for his whole life.
I am not ashamed to confess that 25 years
a;jo I was a hired laliorer, mauling rails.
at work ou a flat-lioat just what might
happen to any poor man's son. I want
every man to have the chance and I lie-
lieve the black man Is entitled to it in
which be cau lietter his condition when
he may look forward and hope to lie a
hired laliorer this year and the next, work
for himself afterward and finally to hire
men to work for him. This is tbe true
system.
'Up bore in New England you have a
soil that scarcely sprouts black-yed
beans, and yet where will you find
wealthy men so wealthy and poverty so
rarely in extremity? There is not an
other such place on earth ! I desire that
if you get too thick here and find it hard
to better your condition ou this soil, you
may have a chance to strike and gosouie
w here else, where you may not lie de
graded nor have your family corrupted
by forced rivalry with negro slaves.
want you to have a clean tied and no
