Hallowell Finishes His Campaign for Con gress Last Night A Joint Dis cussion at Junction City Be tween Colonel Phillips and John Davis. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 1. Secretary Blaine arrived from Washington at 1 o'clock this afternoon. An enthusiastic crowd cheered him as he stepped from the Pennsylvania station, and no received a great ovation later in the afternoon as he appeared upon the stage of the Academy of iMusic to address the Republican mass meeting. The spacious building was crowded to the doors, and hundreds were unable to gain admission. Mr. Blaine was accompanied by several members of his family and Postmaster General Wanamakcr. After his speech at the Academy of Music, he went to the I'niou League, where he bfid a reception from 4 until 6 o'clock. Mr. Blaine spoke of the political cam paign in this state and discussed tho issues of the day. speaking of Ins own opinions on the tariff and reciprocity and the efforts made by the Democrats to divide the Re publican party on the tariff question, he said: "Nearly every Democratic senator who ppoke sought to prove that reciprocity in corporated in the tariff bill, was unconsti tutional. Did you ever stop to reflect, ray friends, what this country would have been today if we had been balked by the cry of unconstitutionality, every time that it was made by the Democrats? We should not have been able to defend tho Uniou when it was assaulted; we should not have been nble to issue greenbacks for its support; we should not have been able to organize n national bank; wo should not have been able to improve a river that did not have salt w tor in it; we should not have been able to give freedom to a slave, and, as the next point, we should not be able to secure reciprocity in our national trade. "By every attempt, gentlemen, serious mid sober, individual and associated, in every form o H'hich political action can bo taken, the Democratic party expects to vround and destroy the doctrine of protec tion; and I have come to raise my voice in Pennsylvania to ask the mother of protec tion to see that her offspring shall not be Btrangled. If my voice can have any in fluence with a single man among those who are dissenting from the regular organization, I appeal to him not to think that it will be all well next year. It has been said to me within the last month very frequently: 'Don't be disturbed about it; this fight of ours is merely local, and next year we will all be back.' "My friends, faction is the offspring of discontent; faction leads to defeat, aud de feat leads to mutual hostility aud disor ganization. If this light iscontinued with n disastrous cud, it will be a long time. I fear, before you will see the Republican party of Pennsylvania come fortli In its original strenuth and its invincible power. Now is tho time to stand forth. It is in the power of every Republican in the state to join with the great throng on behalf of the issue of protection, upon which Penn sylvania, as I said before, is tho leading Btato in the union. I do not mean to im ply at all, gentlemen, that the result of the elections for congress whether wo lose it or whether wo gain it will in any fieat do :ree nfl'ect tho Republican party, believe that from the presidency of An drew Jackson, with one exception, down to the time of Abraham Lincoln Cheers. Let mo repeat that name, for I like to hear it cheered. Continued chceriug. I go back farther: from tho time of John Quincy Adams to Abraham Lincolu, with one exception, every administration lost its second congress. Sol have not come here to raise a wail or to sound any alarm upon the possibility of losing the house of lhope we shall not "lose! representatives, it; 1 believe there is a good chance that we shall not: but that is easily recovered. It is one of the natural reactions that comes between tho two presidential elections four years apart and, as I have said, has been so frequout that it creates no dis turbance on tho ouo bide and no elation on the other. "It is not generally considered in tho lh-st twste for a member of an administra tion to eulogise the president under whom he serves; but in I'ennsylvauia where, you will excuse me for saying, I always feel at homes you will purdou me for say it. g that the administration of President Harrison Cheers., so far as that eminent man controls it has been a modest admin istration, an etlicieiit administration. The country has been peaceful, industrious, prosperous. It has gone forward in a quiet career, such as a Republican gov ernment should always exhibit. I ask you in casting your ballots on Tuesday next to remember that you can sustain the adniinist ration of an able, conscientious and independent president, or you can set the seal of doubt upon it; you can do much to perpetuate Republican administration, or you can do much to destroy it. It is in your hands. I have como hero not with the purpose of eulogizing tho administra tion, but to bear my testimony aud give you a warning that as Pennsylvania votes on next Tuorday the nation votes two j ears hence." At the conclusion or Mr. Blaine's speech, there were cries for Mr. Wauamaker from all parts of the house, and tho postmaster general, upon walking to the front of the stage, was greeted with prolonged ap plause. Mr. Wanamaker thanked those present for giving both Mr. Blnitio and himself .such a welcome. Ho endorsed what Mr. Blaine had uttered ra reference to Presi dent Harrison's administration, saying: "I have watched close every step during these last two years, and 1 never saw auy set of men more devoted to the interest of any cause than the chiefs surrounding the president." Mr. Wauamaker closed with the declaration that he had come home to vote, which produced much applause. HALLOWELL'S CANVASS. The Republican Nominee in the Big Sev enth Winds Up His Campaign, Epectal Dispatch to the Daily Eacle. Conway Springs, Kan., Nov. 1. Col. Hallowell's meeting here today was largely attended, although it had been advertised but two days. Tho farmers were in town in numbers, and camo for the purpose of hearing the next representative from the Big Seventh make a speech. Some had not seen him and their curiosity had been excited by the calamity" representation, in which tho colonel figured as a jackass. Some of that crowd have found out that that feature of the Wichita parade did not lielo their cause, and have denied that there was any jackass in the parade labeled iiu.ii on mn i,w. ,..i I Hallowell. One man here, ho was m -e parade, and who saw it and may have 1 carried one of the clubs, has denied the jackass business, saying it was a campaign lie. But the little excitement had called at tention to Col. Hallowell, and the few who nau not seen seen mm were anxious to see how he looked. From the description given here by calamity howlers Keis. Scott and Simpson, one might have supposed the colonel wore horns on his head. After .ill their loans and corncrib deposits the colonel made a speech which is synony mous with saying he made many votes. Here, as possibly at every other point in the district, the best men in all kinds of business, without regard to party will sup port him. They have now heard the two men speak, and if the cool beaded and in telligent voters of this section had the con test to decide, the vote would be ten to one for Hallowell. This community is well supplied with churches and schools and there will be no dOubt about a big ma ioritv. Following Col. Hallowell's speech of two hours, the Hon. W. E. Stanley, of Wichita, spoke for an hour. He made it quite lively for the boys. The crowd was made to cheer often and loud. William Forrest, of Erie township, Sedg wick county, was here, and says the calamity fellows a few days ago claimed forty maioritv for Simnson. but the recant changes resulting from a moment's reflec tion on the part of the voters will give Hallowell a majority in the towns .ip. Anderson Gray, of Eaton township, Sumner county, said that four weeks ago tho calamity otlice seekers gave it out that there were only three Hallowell votes in tho township out of 115 votes. Today the township will give Hallowell a majority, and a bigger majority on Tuesday next. When ho was telling this to a friend one of the alarmists who is on a ticket offered to bet $o0 that he was mistaken. The bet was accepted but the candidate did not put up. Mr. Gray also knows Illinois town ship, Sumner county, and reports the change there about .as violent as in Eaton. Conway township has tJ50 votes, and just paste it in your hat that 175 of them are for Jim Hallowell. Some of the business men here who are Democrats, say they will vote for Hallowell. and the calamity fellows will not be able to change them. W. H. Carms, clerk of Sumner county, was hero today, and says Hallowell will carry the county by a handsome majority. AT CLEARWATER Clearwater, Kan., Nov. 1. The larg est and most enthusiastic political meet ing of the campaign was held here this evening. Col. Hallowell and Hon. W. E. Stanley addressed the meeting. Hallowell was met at the depot by a largo delegation of tho citizens. Anvils were fired, and the signs of the times are that Hallowell will carry this part of Sedgwick county by a rousing majority. HALLOWELL AT LYONS. Special dispatch to the Dally Eazle. Lyons, Kas., Nov. 1. Col. J. R. Hallo well addressed our people at Butler's opera house last night. The opera house, with a seating capacity of 500, was filled to its ut most capacity. He held the audience spell bound for over two hours, delivering ono of his masterly and characteristic speeches. He expressed himself astonished at the magnificent ovation tendered by our peo ple, which undoubtedly served as aa in spiration to him. His speech brought out many expressions of satisfaction from voters, and no doubt will result in many votes for himself aud tho entire Republi can ticket. Hon. S. P. Peters delivered a convincing address to the people of Rice county, Butler's opera house, in this city, 'this afternoon. The judge, although suffering with his throat, spoke two and a half hours to an audience taxing the utmost capacity of our opera house. Ho dealt hard blows to Col. Polk, of North Caro lina, and Col. Livingston, of Georgia, showing that their wonderful interest in Kansas farmers was caused by a desire to get out of the way John J. Ingalls; and also giving full explanations of tho work ings of the tariff aud silver bills, aud other legislation of the last congress. His speech was a masterly effort and will do great good for the part'. A JOINT DEBATE. Junction ClTT, Kan., Nov. 1. Tho opera house was crowded tonight to hear the joint discussion between Col. W. C. Phillips and John Davis, candidates for congress respectively on the Republican ttl u xeopje S UCKetS. lOl.

Special Dispatch to the Dally Eaclo. Ashland, Kan., Nov. 1. Hon. M. P. Simpson and Senator Chester I. Long ad dressed a large and enthusiastic meeting l,eru tonight. The opera house was cruwueu, aim me closest ntteniion was paid to Mr. Simpson's exposition of the McKinley bill and to Senator Long's eluci dation of Jerry Simpson. The meeting was a grand one, and did great good to tho Republican ticket in Clark county. At every mention of the names of Iugalls and Hallowell the audi ence went wild with enthusiasm, and yelled like cayotes. The indications are now very favorable to the election of every candidate on the Republican ticket in this county. The People's part is losing ground daily by attempting.to coerce the Alliance men into line Hallowell will carry Clark county by a good majority. SENATOR INGALLS. Foirr Scott, Kan., Nov. I. Senator In galls arrived in this city this evening from tho west, and was received at the depot by a large delegation of old soldiers and citizens, rom thence he was conducted to the opera house, when he spoke two hours and a half, receiving rounds and rtunds of applause. The audience was the largest ever assembled in this city, while as many more went away unable to gain admission. His reception here was a grand ovation. STOLEN BALLOTS New York, Nov. 1. Sixty thousand ballots, for use in the approaching elec tion, and the property of the Republican county committee, were stolen in this city toaay- ne oauots were transferred to the American District Telegraph company for distribution, and when they were stolen were on a wagon belonging to the company, which was also made off with.

The Powers Given to the President hy a Certain Provision in the New French Tariff Bill. A Budget of Interesting Personal and Po litical Gossip from the German Em pireKoch's Consumption Cure. A Unique Feature of the Great "World's Fair A Gigantic Enterprise Being Developed by the Big Chicago Packers Another Attack on Explorer Stanley.? Paris, Nov. 1. The new French tariff bill, which is now before the chamber of deputies, contains one striking feature which has heretofore escaped much notice. This is h clause whieh gives to the presi dent and cabinet full power to retaliate to a great extent as thej choose upon articles exported to France by any country which discriminates against French products, or in any way erects barriers against French trade. This clause is obviously modeled to meet the American meat inspection bill, and is intended as the French answer to that measure. The general tone of the French nress continues hostile to tho adoption of re taliatory measures against the United States because of the latter country's tariff legislation. Instead of speaking in favor of retaliation, the papers urge that mutual concessions be made by France and the United States. They seem to imagine that if the French grovernment make consider able concessions it may gain a reduction of the American duties on silks and woolen goods. GERMAN AFFAIRS. Berlin, Nov. 1. The comnvttee on the tariff question, presided over by Herr von Boettschett, minister of the interior, has concluded its consideration of the proposed Austro-German customs union. The re- fort of the commission has not been pub ished, pending the progress of negotia tions with Austria, but its conclusions are known to disfavsr both an extensive re vision to the customs and combined action in the way of reprisals for the American and French tariffs. The new French tariff is a heavier blow, by far, than the McKin ley law against the Austro-Hungarian export trade. Fo.rwhile the French meas ure does not affect Germany, importation from Austria to France is almost destroyed by the new tariff. Wood, sheen, corn, flour. fresh and salt meats and beer, are chiefly affected, the increase in the duties being practically prohibitive. The Austrian newspapers declare that the French government, in drafting the bill, directly aimed at frustrating all at tempts toward closer commercial relations between Germany and Austria. Herr von Boettscher's commission doubtless had an influence upon the French tariff, and other influences aro at work. Protests, chiefly from the agricultural interests, have been pouring in to the chancelloric against a zo'ilverein with Austria. The Cologne Gazette comments upon the situation, and declares that the idea of a tariff war against America is entirely vis ionary, and that the difficulties in realizing such a project are insurmountable. The Centrists, who were recently inclin ed to accept the assistance of the Socialists in demanding that the government assent to the return of the Jesuits, have opened an uncompromising war upon the Social ists. A communication which appears in tho official press, signed by Dr. Lucanus, chief of the emperor's civil cabinet, denying curtly that the kaiser took any step wtiat- V,no.t nr indirprt. to inline -Pr;,, ij:cia,i-frt -nm tn n, tih- ta, Bismarck to come to the Moltke fete suggests no lessening of the imperial animus. The bureau of the oberhaus sent an in vitation to Bismarck, jus member of that body, but the ex-chancellor told his friends that while he would respond to an invitation from the kaiser, he could not mingle with the imperial circle unles.? he was made welcome. The North German Gazette denies the rumor that the more friendly attitude of the British i is due to G government towards Portugal erman interference. The Ger- J man government has not ventured to ex press any opinion to the British govern- meut through its ambassador in London. though it hails with satisfaction the set I tlement of the dispute. I Despite his denial. Count Kalnoky is expected to join tr nine Jlinister Lnspl and Chancellor Von Caprivi at Milan on the 7th inst. Gen. Cozenez, chief of stall of the Italian army, will accompany Siguor Crispi and give Gen. Caprivi a statement of the condition of the Italian army. Dr. Koch will read a report on his cure for consumption at the Berlin academy of medicine at the December meeting. Prof. Leyden, who is Jn the confidence of Koch, considers tho hitter's discovery of the highest value to humanity. De Nation says that it is a chemical substance which is injected into the body aud that it even checks cases of advanced tuberculosis. It is suited that a special institute will be erected at the cost of the government for Dr. Kochs' experiments w-ith his an nounced cure for consumption, the estab lishment oem conducted on the same gen eral plans as the Pasteur institutes. Prince Bismarck has made arrangements to start a brewery at Freiderichruhe. .'Sev eral Hamburg capitalists aro interested in the concern, which will have a capital of 000.000 marks. The financiers will run the brewery for thirty years, paying the rent to ilismarcK. The ex-chancellor reserves for his heirs the right to buy the concern after fifty years. It is expected the house will do a large trade. THE WORLD'S FAIR. Chicago, Nov. 1. The first of the creat displays at the world's fair to be definitely decided" upon, was determined this afternoon. Itisthebigun ercround min ins exhibit, proposed by Col. Ed. F. Brown of Colorado. At a meeting of the world's fair directors' board this afternoon, the nronosals of Col. Brown, which had ready been endorsed by the National com mission, were formally approved. A pal ace 500 feet under the surface of the ground, with drifts filled with ores, and representing each of the great mines of the country, is what the di rectors voted for. This extraordinary ex hibit is to be located on the lake front, and will be constructed by a separate cor poration composed principally of well known mining men. STANLEY AGAIN. LONDON, Nov. L Herbert Ward, in a lecture here last night on his experiences in Africa with the Stanley expedition, said that Jamieson literally died of starva tion and privation. Both Jamieson and himself had to live on monldy biscuits and rice full of maggots while stores of lux uries were reserved for the advance col umn. Major Bartellot. added Ward, in depriving himself and his soldiers of these luxuries might have been quixotic, but he certainly did his duty. rni nii fntfrpric ww w. Cmrvr.o. Nov. 1. The details of an im mense deal in real estate by the srreat pack-1 ing firms of Armour Co., Swift Co. and Morris Co., are made public this morning. They have purchased 3,600 acres of land at the southern end of Lake Mich igan, in Lake county, Indiana, and will remove their vast plants to that point, where they will estaolish an immense man ufacturing center. The business of these three Arms alone amounts to about $150, 000,000 per annum, and it is estimated that they, with others in the same and similar lines of business, who will be drawn there, will within the next five years gather at that point a population of 150.000 souls. The Calumet river runs through the heart of the tract and will furnish vast dockage facilities in direct conuection with Lake Michigan. THE OCEAN HORROR New York, Nov.L It isnow certain that twenty-seven lives have been saved from the wrecked steamer Yizcaya. Word has been received from the Delaware Break water that eight persona saved are now there. Their names are not known. A tug was sent this morning to Sandy Hook for seven survivors, who were taken off by the Marshall and are now on board that vessel. Lewes, Del.. Nov. L Thesurvivorsof the collision oi tne steamer v izcuya anu iuc schooner Cornelius Hargreave, who were brought here last night on the tug Her cules, are as follows: From the Cornelius Hargreave Captain John Waller, of Fall River: First Mate H.

J., Nov. l. Tho crews of tho various life saving stations along the coast, are constantly patrolling the beach, but so far have been unable to discover any more bodies that may have been washed ashore from the wrecked vessels. The spars of the Vizcaya can be seen plainly from the shore. A wrecking steamer is lying along side the wreck, and there seems to be little doubt that the bodies which were carried down in tho cabins and holes of the steamer will re main where they are until the vessel is raised, TH"E STORT OF THE WRECK. Philadelphia. Nov. 1. First Mate Henry Perring, of the ill-fated schooner Cornelius Hargreaves, and six of her crew, together with six of the crew of the schooner's victim, the Spanish steamer Vizcaya, arrived here this evening on tho the Pennsylvania railroad from Lewes. "We cleared the Delaware capes at 7:30 on the morning of the 30th," said Mate Perring, "and throughout the whole day we had a fair wind and pleasant weather. About 7 o'clock in the evening Mate Walker, who was in charge of the deck, came to me to the companion-way and and called down that there was a steamer showing a green light on her port bows. The captain was sitting in tho cabin reading, and I was lying on my bunk: but when the mate called out wo both went on deck. Tho captaiu saw her and ordered Mate Walker to go forward and make a Hare. When no attention was paid to our signal, the captain blew our steam whistle. By this time we were close aboard the steamer, and for the first time she seemed to see us; for she put her helm hard astarboard to cross our bows; whereas, she should have put it port, InfFed and went clear of us. When the steamer put her helm to starboard, we also put ours to starboard and tried to clear her, but it was Xo late, and wo crushed into her, our jibboom going in between her fore and main rigging. "The confusion was very great at this time, and tho Spaniards were running up aud down the deck in deadly terror. Among them I saw one man, whom I have since learned from the papers was the pur ser, clasping two bags of gold in his hands and begging our sailors to save him aud his money. They told him to thow it over board; but he refused, and went down with the bags in his hands. Seven of our men, including the captain and myself and four of the Spaniards, got into the longboat, and three or our crew and one of the Spaniards cot into the and three of small boat. When we got away a short I distance, two Spaniards sprang into the i water and the men in the small boat pick ed them up. We rowed about until about half past 1 when we were picked up by the schooner Sarah L. Davis. The next morn ing the tug Hercules took us off the Davis, and learning of the collision from us, she started towards the scene of the wreck. On the way we met the tug Butl-r having on board the body of the stewardess of the steamer. The Hercules lauded us all with the exception of Cap- tain Allen and Harvey Allen, the cook, wll remained aboard the Davis at Lewes. i he fault of the collision clearly lips with the steamer. A sailing vessel has the right of way, and the first thing the cap tain said when struck was: 'Walker, go forward and see if our green light is burn ing.' Walker did so, and reported that it was." THE SIOUX SCARE. Washington, Nov. 1. General Grant, acting secretary of war, has directed Gen eral Miles, and in case of his absence, General Ruger, to proceed to Standing Rock Indian agency, and investigate the causes leading to the threatened Indian outbreak. The war deprtment has no direct information on the subject. The dispatches on the subject received by the interior department have been forwarded i to tne war uepanmeni, ior its information and action and it is upon these that Acting t-ecretary Graut has determined to act.

Ono of the most terrible murders ever known in the history of Erie county was committed at Akron, twenty-four miles east of this city, last night. A young woman named Sarah McMullen, aged 10, formerly living in Buffalo, but lately residing with Mrs. Patrick Brown in Akron, enticed Delia Brown, aged 6 years, and Nellie May Con nors, aged 10, onto the Akron cement works' narrow gauged railroad bridge, at a height of sixty-five feet over Murder creek.

She said to Constable Burns that Sarah had hard work in pushing Nellie Connors over the side of tho bridge, and came near falling over herself. After committing the act Sarah McMul len returned to Mrs. Brown's house and said to Mrs. Brown: "I am going away; perhaps you will not see me again, at the same timo extending her hand. Mrs. Brown thought she was fooling, when Sarah again spoko up. "Well, if you wont shaKe hands with me, all right;" and went out. Her actions excited the curiosity of the family. Sarah started for the bridge over the mill clam at Akron (about ten feet high) and arriving at the place, stepped in be tween the iron braces, and jumped into the water, which was several feet deep.

"The counting of the people Is over with," said Mr. Petroff, "but all the re turns are not yet in, and some will be de layed till next spring. A portion of the returns were not returner! owing to the failure of the revenue vessels to stop for them, as was expected, and those ot the far interior require a long time for trans mission to the coast. Facilities for travel are the very worst; even the mails depend on pedestrians and canoe. "I employed enumerators who had lived long in the country, and understood the language of the natives. From the data at my command I estimate tho wboie popula tion to be between 25,000 and 33.000. about oae-seventh of whom are white people." AN EMBEZZLER CAUGHT. Omaha, Neb.. Nov. L John W.

Carr, were alarmed by tho ringing of lire bells and they hurried the only females on board, Mrs. Riley, wife of First Officer Riley, and her two daughters, ashore, and took them to tho United States hotel. Seven lire engines were soon pumping water into the burning hold, which was like a raging furnace.

Brigadier Gen eral Merritt, commanding the department of the Missouri, in his annual report, speaking of affairs in Oklahoma, says that tho cattlemen show no disposition to violate the conditions governing i heir stay. Affairs in tho territory havo been exceed ingly quiet. Owing to tho hcvere drought the past season, the corn crop has in many sections been an almost total fniluro, and the farming industry not having b-en suf ficiently organized to Insure tho planting of staples which are most productive in that country as wheat and cottonther is considerable destitution among the ikkv ple in the country districts, ami aid will have to be extended to about one-third of the population. In view of tho abandonment of Forta Ellis and Gibson and Little Rock barracks, Gen. Merritt ys it is important that n post for at least ten companies should bo established near St. Louis. Tho reserva tion of Jefferson barracks naturally sug gests itself as the proper location for Bitch lo.st. The recent anticipated troubles tn the Chickasaw country illustrated tho necessity of having troops for umi in tho Indian territory at some such point as this. Gen. .Merritt also recommends that additional accommodations at Fort Reno Imj provided for two troops of cavalry. Tho garrison at Fort Sill should lw re duceu as soon as possible; but this is not now practicable with the limited barrack and quarters in tho department. Thorn has been a decrease in the number of desertions, and, says Gen. Merritt, every thing leads to the hope that the moans taken to combst this evil by congress and the war department, will in nuothvr year mitigate, if they do not wholly remove, a crime which has been so wrious to thu army and tho country.

ESEZI32EZI $ftje micjiita Ipailij gag!: Jtwtoj fPimtiiKj, Ifxwimtuje 2, 1890. HAloLOWKLT. OR SIMPSON-TVHICU AND WHY. To the Editor of the Eazle. As a Republican, who is tinctured with resubmission sentiments, aud out of liuinorwitli the "McKinley bill," I assert that the failure on the part of Kansas to return to congress a full delegation of Republicans to both houses will give a full nnd free warrant to all men to "hack and hew" candidates next year, and weaken the party for the struggle of 1S92, which, by all signs, will bo memorable in the history of American politics, and every state will bo a battle-ground, from the eastern to the western sea-board, from the lakes to the gulf. At the risk of wearying your readers, 1 desire to give my individual views on the "congressional campaign," my reasons for supporting Hallowell, and my opin ion why the Republicans should Btand bv him, and lastly, why Wichita "should be for him. Every reason I give, is applicable to every dis trict in Kansas, and to my mind, arc so cogent that it occurs to me that one v. ho calls himself a Republican who votes n-aint Hallowell. or who fails to vote lor liTm. is unmindful of our factory,. r recre nnt to the better impulses of Ins own na ture, false to the principles for wi ich in years gone by he has voted, and neglectful of the prosperity of Wichita Personally, the election of Hallowell can be nadvaut ngn to me; politically, no greater benefit to mo than anv other citizen of Kansas or VichUa, and yet I feel that the e cction of this man will be a boon to WichiU, that his defeat will be a calam ty to tne party to Kansas, and a severe black eye to our ritv First: I disdain to argue the question of prohibition as it. is attempted to be argued in this cam pa en, so far as Col. Hallowell Is concern ed, because this question is local in Jvan shs. and is not an issue m national poli tics, and is dragged into the fight from motives purelj personal and sdiJi. Iho attempt to make a congressional light lo cal is in the interest oflocal politics. Na tional politics are subordinated to state ficht the Democratic pnrty would not have trusted their cause to Mr. Simpson, and JVIr. Simpson would not now be making his campaign on tho lines he is now mak ing it, hence I, a Resubmission KepubH can, assert that the attempt in VV ichita to icnore the Republican party and force into local politics a question that is not a national issue, is conceived in personal animosity to Colonel Hallo well. and is tho offspring of desire to util ize all material in sight to catcli votes for local candidates, and thougn it is com mendable. conMstantdemagoguery in Dem ocrats, it is damnable in Republicans, fo ments strife, which once engendered, is long-lived, breeds dissension, and at last, ends in open rupture, to the discredit of the Republican party and advantage of its opponents. Though I am proud to sub pcr be myst-lf as a follower of Governor Robhr-on, I look at the defeat of Hallo well as a national calamity, the defeat of Robinson as only a state misfortune. It is the national party organization that gives life, hope and vrgor 10 me .suuu or ganization: destroy the former, you arc a family without a father. Hut the annihi lntion of the state organization as.in some of the southern states, does not disturb t he autonomy of the ss'stem, because the National partv, like a banyan tree .spread ing at 1op and bottom, sends forth its hhoots and the places, withered and dried up take on new life and become fruitful, becond. The Republicans of tho west, almost to a unit, believe in the stand taken bv some of tho western senators on tho McKinley bill, and the next, congress will heed the voice of the west on this question, aud Col. Hnllowell as a thinker and oiator, the equ of any western con gressman, can do more to rally the west, than any congressman Kansas today in the house. This is not said because 1 de nre to Hatter Hollowell, or depreciate the ot icrs, but because, having heard the most of tneso men, 1 assert that Hallowell is bet ter equipped for leadership of the Kansas delegation by personal presence, makeup and education, than any of them. His en emies admit that there is a personal mag netism about t he man that wins admira tion, holds friends and disarms foes. His nomination in this district demonstrates that he has real power. His faults, what ever they are, arc chargeable to a generous disposition, which has left him poor in )ure and yet rich in friends, who have Hocked round his standard, attracted by hi candor and frankness, and his freedom from malice toward his enemies. Third: His professional training ana National acquaintance will at once give him position and prominence which Mr. .Simpson cannot attain. Those Republi cans, who affect, from any cause to espouse Simpson, do not expect, in tend or hope, to continue him m congress hence the election of Simnon, liv 1iiml)lican votes for one term, is sim ply a blank in the life of our party for two 3 ears a period in which wo stand still doing not lung, w hich should be averted ml reprobated by "Wichita, if by no other place in the district It i not intended to belittle Simpson, nor under-rate him. 1 grant all his friends claim for him, but if elected, ho will be so not by the Alliance, not by a confederation of the Alliance and Democrats, but bj a con-piracy of the Al liance, and Democrats and men who claim to be Republicans to "the manner born." This unjust a d unholy combination is united (if joined) not from nny pure motive, patriotic or party reasoning, but Ironi selfish motives, which in the Alliance is praiseworty, in Democrats Htratcgctic politics but in Republicans but proves that it is a senti ment which, if carried out, will greatly damage this city. Fourth. For more than a decado lch ita has hungered for a congressman, prayed for a powerful friend at court, and endeavored in every way to get a foot hold nt "Washington, for its private advantage nnd the good of the southwest. Term after term passed away ami yet Wichita was bound hand and foot, obtaining noth ing save that which its united, untiring energy and naked justice compelled the powers to grant it. Had Wichita had a congressman, who will assert that our Federal building nnd our Federal court would have been delayed so long Wichita wants a Federal court district, and a judge nt. nrne.tr home. Can Simpson cot it? May not Hallowell get it? Wicliit Avants government contracts west of Kanfcal City, Slo. Can it not stand a -better show with Hallowell than with Hmpsou Wichitade mandsmany things that a Wichita con gresman can get it, which will bo wealth to it and to the southwest prosperity. When, for the first time since Wichita be came a town, the opportunity" Is" now granted to achieve that which for years, has been its dream and hope, its aspira tion and ambition, will its people throw it all over board, and be content to sit listless for years for auother chance Will the rest of tho district again indulge Wichita's ambitious dreams, if it deliberately dis graces itself by defeating one of it,s own citizens? I am confident that if Wichita throws away this opportunity, boys will be men, and men in the full strength of oars will be old. bent and gray, before auother clmuce Is given to it to have a conscressman. Wichita's fato is iu its own Tiands. Opportunity has a forelock, which if not grasped when presented, goes lwyond our reach, so says the old fable. As men, wo know it. As a city, we know it. The past points us to the things we lmvo lost. Lastlv, in all candor and solemnity, one who has sorrowed at Wichita's distresses, rejoiced at us successes, says to it, that now, for the llrt time in its hr-tory. it has an opportunity tomtit lpBlwd in position where its citizens can speak to one who can befriend and nid it and the southwest. Will you be drawn atide from vour real in- terest io gratify party spite t rVichita can sav asvoue man u it win. "I (Qflaaiy zenith doth deperiU upon A most auiplclous star: lio lnnuencn.

The days of our yours will be long ere we have a second opportunity to vote for a congressman froru "Wichita who sumls any show of rlection, if we fail iu this hour, freighted with hope, yet fraught lth peril to Wichita.

CITY" 1KACHKKS' MEETING. The regular meeting of the city teachers institute was held yesterday from 9 a. m to 12 a, m., at the high school building. The roll call showed a very full attend ance. Devotional exercises conducted by Dr. Stevenson, consisted of reading the ninety-seventh psalm and the Lord's prayer bv the institute. Several selections of music were sung, led by Professor Young. MissAngie Herring presided at the piano. Prof. J. C. South, who was secretary for the past three years, was excused from that duty at his own request and Principal R. Li. Barackinau was elected in his stead. Dr. Stevenson then addressed the :nsti tute on the objects to be attained by these monthly meetings, and the duties and priv ileges of the teachers as members. The instruction gained from the papers read and tho discussion of professional ques tions, is not the only benefit; but a fra ternal spirit among the teachers and in creased professional zeal are worthy ends which these meetings are designed to se cure. After a short recess and a piece of music Principal T. A. Yowell of the Burton school read a very practical paper on "Ed ucation and its Relation to Industry." Education in its most elevated sense isthafc tendency which best develops mind and body, controls the evil passions and un worthy sentiments and subjects them to mind and conscience. Education of one kind or another is inevitable. The powers of an intelligent being must grow. If a child does not receive proper training at the proper time he will receive education of an injurious nature. It is of no advantage to know much un less one lives according to what ho knows. The relative inllucnce of the homo and of the school on the individual is an impor tant but difficult question. It is the province of the public schools to produce in every child such an education intellectually, phys ically and morally as will secure to tho state a good citizen. The seeds of genius are often cast in tho most unlikely spots; the rarest gift of mind is often found iu tho most obscure homes. Statistics care fully collated show that educated laborers not onlyilo Hotter worK man niueruuj workmen but secure much more of com fort and competence for themselves. Tho many excellent points of the paper, of which the foregoing extracts give no adequate idea, were discussed further by Misses Dickinson and Bryson and Messers South; Dunkin and others. Dr. Stevenson laid stress upon the necessity of cooperation between parents and teachers in securing tho best results for the pupil. Ho urged the teacher to exercise nil the tact and power she possessed to retain in school and as far as possible, reform the pupil whoso outside surroundings rendered him vicious nnd insubordinate. A truant of ficer, whoso special duty it should be to enforce attendance of truant children, should be appointed. Messrs. Ward andXaftsgar of the school board, were present and received a very cordial greetiim from tho teachers. Dr. Hoss of the Wichita School of Ora tory, was introduced and gave the insti tute some valuable instruction. Tho doc tor's life work as an instructor in higher schools of learning rendered his remarks very helpful and entertaining. He read in conclusion tho beautiful selec tion, "Driltiug." Miss Mary E. Rowc, principal of the City Xormal Traininv: school, was then intro duced and read a paper on "Training Schools for Teachers." The history of Normal schools in Europe and their incep tion and growth in this country were de scribed, the necessity of professional train ing was- insisted on and tho best methods of conducting training and practice schools were admirably explained Afteranother song the Instituteltstened ton well prepared paper by Principal J. C. Mayer of tho Franklin school, on tho rela tive merits of written and oral recitations. The paper advocated frequent and regular written recitations, as a means of saving time, cultivating habits of neatness and correctness in the arrangement of manu scripts. The oral recitation has points to justify its use, but not to tho exclusion of the written. Lack of time prevented the discussion of this very suggestive paper. Prof. Young spoke eocouragingly of the work being done in music in the city schools, and gave many practical sug gestions designed to secure still better results. Miss Eberlein and Mrs. Blaisdell gave some pertinent directions concerning the work in writing and drawing, and ex pressed their gratification at the good re sults attained by the zealous efforts of teachers and pupils. Dr. Stevenson called attention to the importance of physical culture and the advantage of increase attention to this matter. The sinking with which tho ex ercises of the institute wero freely inter spersed was excellent and enjoyable. THE YOC PEOPLE'S SOCIltt'V. UTEKAKY This society met in regular session with President Theodore Forby in the chair. Immediately after the adoption of the minutes Dr. Hoss favored the society with a recitation of "Cataline's Defiance." The president appointed as judges Messers Smith, Jennings and Brissie. The following question was then dis cussed: Resolved, That the country has more to fear from corporations than from anarchists. Affirmative. H. S. McMicbael and R. F. Knight. Negative, Luther Burns and F. Stausberry. The judges de cided unanimously for the affirmative. On next Tuesday evening the question, Resolved, That tho government should own and control the railroads and tele graph lines of the country will de dis cussed. A :i O UN C BH ENTS.

A Boston exchange says of "A Child of Naples:" A play which, its merits comparatively unheralded, can arouse the not too numer ous and rather lukewarm Boston audience of a snowy night to an enthusiasm that would hardly shame the Italy in which the scene moved an enthusiasm finding expression in such bursts of applause dur ing tho scene, as bronght the play to a pause, and, at the end of the scene in triple twills nf Mm le.idinir actor is a play whose effect upon the spectator is hardly open to question. As a dramatic story, "A Child of Naples" is of vivid, instant and highly sustained interest; as a frame for a character sketch of immense vitality, it is of permanent worth to the stage." The follwing will explain itself: TOPEKA, Kan.. Nov. 1. 1S90. Mr. Manh Mtirdock. Editor Eagle: I desire to impress upon the patrons of the theatre the very excellent attraction I have secured for next Monday and Tues day. I can assure and guarantee all who attend the performance of Salvini that no more artistic or pleasing entertainment has ever been given in Wichita. L. M. Crawford. Crawford Grand Opera house, November 3 and 4. MAUDE GRAXGER, The lustrous eyed beauty aud emotional actress, who has been so prominently iden tified with tho notable successes of tho metropolitan stage, is finally coming to Wichita. She is now en route to New York for an extended engagement, after a brilliant season in San Francisco. Mana ger Crawford has, ever since the announce ment of her contemplated tour west, been endeavoring to secure her for this city on her return east, but it was not till yester day that arrangements were finally con summated. He gives for Miss Granger's appearance hero, unusually large terms and is enthusiastic over her coming. Everybody has heard of Maude Granger, and everybody will bo anxious to see her. It is her first appearance in the west in three years, her engagements during that time having been confined exclusively to New York, Boston, Philadelphia and the prin cinal cities of the east. By special ar rangement her engagement here will be extended to two nights next Friday and Saturday. On Friday evening she will be seen in her new play "Inheritage," or "L' Heritage de Helene," as it was origin ally produced at the Theatre de L' Applica tion, Paris, where Miss Granger witnessed the initial performance. On Saturday she will present her own version of "The Creole." as played by her over 500 times in the principal theaters of the cast. Her en gagement just closed in San Francisco was one of the most brilliant and fashion able of the year, and will certainly prove so in this city. A stroug feature of her engagement will be the excellent support ing company she will bring with her. Mr. W. M. Wilkinson, MUs Granger's manager, was in the city yesterday in per son comiiletinc arrangements for her coming. To the Traveling Public At a meeting of the representatives of the several railroads entering this city it was decided that on and after Sunday, Nov. 2, 1KM). the offices known as the "city ticket offices'' will not be open for the transaction of business of any character on the Sabbath day.

SCIENTIFIC SQUIBS. Pipes for gas, water and electric cables mado of paper have recently appeared at Vienna. An Italian savant claims that injecting a current of electricity through milk delays its souring for several days. Electricity has just been applied to the reeling, weighing and makingup into balls of silk and similar woven fabrics. Utilizing scrap steel rod by welding it and drawing it into fence wire is one of the recent successes of electric welding. An electric tricycle has been built at Englewood, Ills., which will attain a speed of twenty miles an hour on an ordinary road. Experiments mado in Austria make it appear that the addition of soda to Port land cement enables it to withstand the action of frost. Bisulphide of carbon i3 recommended by Mr. A. J.

In London an electric light has been used to illuminate the interior of an oven. The door was of plate glass, and every part of the process of baking could bo distinctly seen. The latest invantion is clothing made of a fabric in which fine threads of cork are interwoven with wool or silk, which ren ders it impossible for the wearer to sink in water. The high explosive carbonite has recently given ver3' satisfactory results, and it has been proved that it is a staple compound that can be stored for a length of time without deterioration. An Italian scientist declares that the blood of eels is poisonous when injected Into the veins. An eel weighing five pounds contains enough poison to kill ten men. The blood is harmless, however.when taken into the stomach.

ConRreve wrote a clear if somewhat schoolboyish hand. Charles n wrote a much more pleasing band when Pnnca of Wales than after his accession to the throne There was no indication of genins in the handwriting of Edmund Burke, which is rather effeminate looking. Dean Swift wrote a legible but stiff hand, nearly upright, a sufficient indica tion of his independence of character. Voltaire wrote a small but legible hand, which seems to indicate that he must have been distinguished by method and preci sion of character. The handwriting of Oliver Goldsmith, with all its beauties, is wholly lacking in decision, and seems to curiously reflect his refined but wayward temperament. There is a curious family likeness be tween the handwriting of Wordsworth, Southey and Coleridge, which tempts one to think that they copied one another. There Is a signature of the first earl of Shaftesbury, the author of the "Character istics," in the British museum, which l eloquent of the infirmities from which he was suffering. Dr. Johnson wrote a very crabbed hand, bnt no fault could be found with it on the score of illegibility, for nearly every letter trxs well formed, and one ca believe tint he bad tha horror of "corrections be.ore his mind.
