An Interesting Controversy. One of the most interesting features of the wheat situation at present outside of trade lines is the controversy between the Northwestern Miller and the Modern Miller. These are two of tha foremost milling trade papers in the country. The former is printed here In Minneapolis and the latter In St. Louis.

The Modern Miller, does not lose any chance to speak a favorable MORE PROSPERITY EVIDENCE FURNISHED BY BREIDENTHAL. and get somewhere with their efforts. Experienced politicians like Albert H. Hor. ton and M.

A. Low say that the Republicans have never made so effective a campaign as the one now In progress. The fuslonlsts are not making headway with their campaign. It Is generally admitted that the Democrats made a mistake In moving to Kansas City. With tho committees sixty miles apart, It is next to impossible to have harmony of action.

It takes too long to do things. And then the fuslonlsts are short of lOSWy especially the Populists. The Democrats have had some help from their national committee, but the Populists are so poor that they can't pay the running expenses of headquarters, although Charley Wood, a local hotel man, agreed to pay the rent of rooms to keep tho committee In Topeka. Demands for money reach Populist headquarters from all over the state. Of course they can not be SCCadsd tO, and the fellows turned down get son-, and abuse the committee.

It was the Northwestern Miller which printed the page advertisement of Bank Commissioner Breidenthal was at his desk yesterday endeavoring to catch up with his correspondence and attending to other work relating to state banks.

The Commissioner estimates that the total deposits in state and national banks in Kansas at this time amount to $60,000,000, or $5,000,000 in excess of the highest figure ever reached before. The reserve of the state banks he reports to be 51 per cent. The reserve in the national banks he estimates at 40 per cent. This gives a surplus in the state banks of $10,000, GOO above tho legal reserve, and about in the national banks, or a total of $17,000,000 now available for loans without encroaching upon the legal reserve. Such a showing has never before been made In Kansas.

The Commissioner also states that the amount of loans now carried by Kansas banks is nearly a million dollars greater than in 1P92. when high water mark was reached in bank loans.

Mr. Hopper was nominated some time ago by the Populists, but the Democrats did not hold their convention until Tuesday of this week, and the latter's nomination certificate came to the Secre-tary's office on the last train yesterday af- ternoon.
