The Winfield Courier is "crowding
the mourners." In size II Is a surprise, con-
tanning as it does six large well printed
aud excellently filled pages, of nine
columns each, making 10 all fliy-Gour
columns. II is evident that Mr.. Mil
llngton has got his dAnder up about this
newspaper business In typographical
appearance the Courier is even
with the foremost papers in the process
sion, and leaYes all except, perhaps, one
OF two, little in the rear. Itcarrie;
twenty-iour 70 twenty FIVE columns Of
advertisements and the only thing We
don't like about 1t is that It sets lis locs,
solid. 1t always looks too tiresome t.
tackle a solid local department, and VIZ
don't do 1t. In the beauty of its typoS
raphy the Courier gets away with any
thing In Southern or Southwestern Kan
sAs. We hope the "old man" can stanC
up 10 the racket he is now giving US.

st. Louis Globe-Demoorat: a bank
TuptoY law IS desirable in some respects,
and the bill now pending in congress- on
that subject is probably as fair one as
could be devised; but there Is some force
at the same time in the position of Sen
ator Plumb, OF Kansas, the only Repub-
lican senator who voted against the bill.
In his judgment, bankruptcy legislation
Of all kinds is mistaken and pernIcious
on general principles, and tends to in
crease rather than TO diminish fraud, and
80 to disturb and embarrass trade. He
has seldom known a case, he says, in
which creditor was unwilling TO settle
with and discharge debtor when he
had done all IN his power to pay his OBJ
legations, and that is all that the best
bankruptcy law can do for an honest In.
solvent. Senator Plumb is a manSoi
superior business sagacity and wide ex
perience, and what he says upon thi;
subject is therefore worth noting anC
thinking about.

The reported sale of the Island of
Cuba TO the Republic Of Mexico has fur
nIshed talk for the gossips and quid
nuucs; but there does not seem to be
any foundation for the story. Indeed,
Mexico Is too poor TO buy the island for
which our own government was once
willing to pay $50. 0O0. 900, and it is not
likely that the Spanish government
would sell ii to Mexico. Our govern.
ment could not object to such transfer,
but 1t is a rock.rooted determination
dating back half century, that no Euro.
pean power will be permitted to own
and fertility Cuba, Spain only being toll
Grated because she had the property in
possession when our government
was founded, as Great Britain
had Canada Clay, Polk ard
Adams reiterated in their speeches the
doctrine as 10 Cuba, and Monroe in
cluded Cuba in his famous asseyeration
of the inviolabilitY OF this continent by
European powers. There will come a
day, and 1t is not far distant, when Cuba
VIII be attached TO the American union.
Another ten years struggle for indie
pendenee would result more successfully
than that Of 1s6s-'79; for Spain cannot
stand such prodigiOus drain upon her
limited resources. She might, indeed,
sell the island to us now for trifie of
&S0O0O.0OO or $4O,OOO,OO0 or SO. She
would never sell it to power as weak
end uncertain in it's finances as Mexico.
and abe will have no deferred payments
20 whomsOeyer she sells Cuba.

Railroad Matters.

ST. LOUIS, May In the trans CONT
mental association meeting to-day spe-
cial committee appointed Tuesday to
formulate plan for reorganization sub
mitted a report recon mending gross
or money pool 10 succeed the
present physical or diverting plan
and the proposition was freely
discussed. 1t is understood that two
roads in the association oppose the
pools, chiefly the Northern Pacific,
which is not yet able TO determine b oW
much California traffic il can handle.
The roads favorable to the pool, how
ever, think the trouble can be alleviated
by leaving the Northern Pacific out for
the present and paying it a speci
fed sum for maintaining the rates
established by the pool. The Topeka &
Santa Fe, it is said, will agree TO be-
come responsible for the action of the
st. Louis & San Francisco regarding the
maintenance of rates. and it is belieyed
that both the Texas Pacific and the
Union Pacific will withdraw their &C.
ton in severiDg their connection with
the association and join the pool If one
is formed.
The Joint western classification com
mittee heard the arguments of the rep
resentatiVes of the Chicago s. ST. Louis
freight bureaus in regard to the aboli
ton of carload lots rates, which is re
sisted by the jobbi0g merchants in the
northwest, but deferred action. Mean

Ii is all very well for the scientific ed
itor of the Cincinnati Commercial-Ga-
zelte to suggest the cannon ball RENE
dy for cyclones because a sea captain
knocked the backbone out OF water
spout by that means, but there seems to
be some difficulty in the way of putting
the plan into execution. You never
know when OF where cyclone is going

give the slightest heed TO the presence Of
cannon. In this case the suggest
