Retrenchment and reform in the ex
pendltureS of the government was one of
the chief items of the stock in trade of
the Democracy before they came into
power, but mighty little attention has
been given TO it since that memorable
event. 1t cannot be denied. however.
that the matter has had attention. for it
is only few days since an item of ey-
travagance on the part of half dozen
treasury employees. involving as much as
nine dollars, was disallowed by the de-
partment. and the protiigate clerks made
10 foot the bill. The saving Of a DAYS
time and attendant expenses by being
detained away from home, which would
have amounted to at least fifty dollars
afforded insufficient compensation for
the palpable expenditure of nine dollars.
In view of the strained condition of the
nations finances and the plethoric state
of purse of the prodigal employees men
toned. 10 say nothing of the red tape OBJ
servances necessary 10 the uniform
transaction of the government business,
such economic acts as the one referred
to, may, perhaps, be regarded as essen
tial.

Accounts sent out from Ell Paso,
Texas, Of the escapades of the fellow
Cutting who came so near producing a
rupture between the governments of the
United States and Mexico several months
ago, show that he is an incorrigible cuss.
Now that the incidents of his arrest, in
generation and final release have been
finally disposed of, the representative of
the Mexican government refusing him
the indemnity demanded. and having &C
complished his original purpose, in part,
in gaining bit of notoriety, it is hoped
his experience will serve to deter him
from again becoming an object of diplo-
matte concern, to end again in compro-
missing the government, as has just been
done.

THE FRAUDULENT PELICAN.

Before the recent so-called election IN
louisiana, one of the leading Democratic
newspapers in that state, the New Or
leans Piacyune. said: 1.-The governor OF
this state controls the election machinery
of every parish within its limits and IN
case Of necessity can easily manufact-
IRE a majority \ little later-and
still before the so-called election-the
governor here referred to declared pub
ilcly that it was case of necessity, that
''the Gaul'' was at the doors, and that
sooner than let the Republicans recover
control of affairs he would wrap the
state in revolution from the Arkansas
line to the Gulf" This governor as the
Picayune said, controlled the election
machinery and was in position to easily
manufacture majority. The Demo-
cratic majority reported by his returning
officers in the parishes is SO unexpected
ly and preposterously large. that Demo
cratic newspapers like the New York
World hold their noses.

THE SITUATION as 1T IS.

Senator Cullom has authorized the an
nouncement that he is not candidate
for the presidential nomination. His
view of the situation, as given to an
Associated Press representative tho other
day, is honest and conservative, and
shows the sound judgment of the man.
Hepredicts Republican success, but to
secure success is not to be considered an
easy matter. He grants the vote of the
solid south to the Democrats candidate,
whoever he may be, and points out
that all the influence possible will be ex-
erted by this ''reform" administration
in the doubtful northern states. His
hope of success lies in united effort on the
part of the Republican party. To secure
the desired unity personal references
and ambitions must be laid aside, and all
interests subordinated to the cause of the
success of Republican principles. In
this connection the Lincoln, Neb.
Journal very pertinently remarks that
the situation is not one which Will war
rant the idea that success will come
WltiOuC NOIh. OISdliiZdtlol Hiuo1 NC Ao
nearly perfect as possible, and after
organization earnest work must be done.
But with the organization now being
perfected, and with strong and united
effort, Republican success is assured
despite the immense patronage of the
party in power and the desperate efforts
being made by that party to again
achieve success.

The pertenacity to life exhibited by
the German emperor is most wonderful.
Weeks ago his condition was such that
it was believed by his attendants the end
with him could be deferred but a few
hours. But he passed through the crisis
in his case and now bids fair to live, pos
sibly for mouths, German medical sci
entists claim the lead in their profession
and the emperor's case affords them OPP
portunity to make good the claim. His
malady is about the only one they have
failed to cope with and at least mollify.
The incentive for special endeavors in
this instance are peculiarly strong. The
world can but join in the wish that sue
cess may attend the efforts in the en-
peror's behalf.

1t has been intimated that the disease
with which the German emperor is
afflicted is the same that resulted in in
sanity in the case Of William ~, of Prus-
sia. George III, of England, was insane
during the last ten years Of his reign,
and Queen Victoria has given some
cause to fear that the faint of insanity
was still present in the house of Han
over. Few royal houses of Europe are
free from insanity. Nero insanely play
ed away on his violin while the magnifi-
cent capitol of his empire was in flames.
Perhaps the most pathetic case on record
of insanity among the royalties is that
of Cariotta, the unfortunate widow of
the misguided Austrian Archduke Max

1t would be interesting to know
whether Mr.. Vest of Missouri was put
forward last week to rake for political
chestnuts in the embers of the fraud
issue, or whether it was his own idea.
In either case the experiment wasn't re-
munerative enough to encourage an
early repetition. The Democrat-in the
senate or out of it-who voluntarily re-
calls to the recollection of the American
people the events of the years 1876 and
1877 shows a lack of political sense that
must make his more judicious party as
sociates very tired.

The Texas legislature is now in extra
session at Austin, having been called to
meet by the governor to make dispo-
sition of the three million dollars cash
surplus now in the state treasury. The
action of that body will be watched

puzzled over the same sort of problem

no nearer solution than when first

Whether the action of the New York

whelming majority, the proposition to

The conclusion of the free traders

thing else has" And that is the i'm
piled confession that free trade means
lower wages. The free trade movement
is move for cheaper labor and to re-
duce our working classes to the levels of
England and Belgium. With that re-
duction there goes a reduction of the
standard of living, and of the standard
of manhood itself.

Figures are not needed to prove the
statement that Kansas lands are rich and
productive. With the state only partial
ly settled. it has for number of years
past ranked first or second in the produc-
ton of corn. wheat, flaxseed broomcorn.
and castor beans. Besides this it has
ranked near the top for oats, potatoes,
dairy products, cattle and hogs. This is
not referring directly to quality, but to
quantity. As to quality Kansas agricul-
tural products and fruits have invariably
taken first premiums" This pen picture
of Kansas by an exchange is undeniably
true as to the past, and present indica-
tons give a positive assurance of even
better things this year. Never in the
history of the state was the agricultural
outlook so suspicious at this season as it
is now.

After following this plan through "a

take up simple composition, dispensing
even with the translation SO far as posi-
bic, and learning the meaning of words
from the context. After having in this
way worked through twenty OF thirty
novels, or similar works, he began the
study of the grammar and found that
