JAMES E. CAMPBELL now running

hat he had entirely recovered from the

he was foolish in thus giving up his

COLONEL ToMLINsoN hurried home
from his Connecticut victory, and as

pose to open war on Governor Hum
phrey for writing that prohibition let

linson'sl statements. The colonel feels
that Kansans ought to stand together
when addressing strangers, or when
asking for office. 1t grieves his manly
soul, when posing before strange
audience in a distant state, to have a
brother Kansan attempt to hamstring
him from behind. Hence his purpose
to scalp the governor.

THE Leavenworth Times does not
hesitate to attribute prophetic powers
to a hero in order to swell his fame. In
discussing the Samoan treaty, it ad-
mits-wonderful condescension to be
sure-"that the arrangements for
the congress were made by the CleYe-
land administration" But to offset
the admission and tranfer the glory of
the whole thing to its hero, it says that
Blaine originated the proposition when
he was in the Garfield cabinet. In other
words, Mr.. Blaine foresaw eight years
ago the aggressions of the Germans in
Samoa. which occurred last year, and
the bloody results that succeeded, to-
gether with the dangerous interna
tional complications connecting this
government with it and the urgent need
for some sort of settlement of question
that did not begin to be yexed one
until three years ago. The rawlings of
the hero worshipper are very anus
ing, and sometimes ridiculous, especi-
ally when the hero is high in power.

FAvORs TARIFF REDUorHON.

AVORS TARIFF REDUCTION.
The Globe democrat, discussing the
aims and purposes of the republican
party with reference to tariff reduc-
tion uses the following language. 1t
does not at all dove tail with the tariff
plank of that party in 1888, but con-
sistency is not greatly priced in the
Globe Office. Concerning this ali i'm
portant question, it says:
by its national platform of 1885,
and by all its history and traditions,
the republican party is committed to
this policy. All the notifications and
readjustments which our customs
schedules have had since the republi-
can party first attained national stat
ure have been made by the republicans.
That organization has repeatedly re-
duced duties, added largely to the free
list, and materially lessened the bur-
dens which democratic war imposed.
The democratic party was in power
twelve years in the popular branch Of
congress since the close of the civil
conflict, and, broadly speaking, its
recoru III LnlS uirecOloH mas Deen aDSo-
lutely barren
Thus it will be seen that it not
only boasts of, and attempts to magni-
fly the few items of tariff reduction or
removal of 1898, but intimates a
settled purpose to still further lessen
''the burdens which a democratic war
imposed" Not stopping at that even,
it goes so far as to taunt and reproach
the democratic party for doing nothing
towards "lessening the burdens of
the tariff tax during 1.-The twelve years
it was in control of the popular branch
of congress. - For refreshing GOODNESS
that will hold its own with a Dakota
blizzard. Still the tone of the Giobe is
essentially in favor of stealing demo
cratic thunder.
