Proud OF His Son, the Duke.

PARIS, Feb 1S-M. Boucher, an Orlean-
ist member Of the Chamber of Deputies,
has received from Havana a cable dispatch
from the Count of Paris, father OF the
Duke of Orleans, in which he says: ''I am
proud of my son and pleased with the atti-
tude he has taken, but l really am con-
cerned on account Of his sentence"
An inspired article in the .Soir indicates
that exercise of the pardoning power in the
case of the Duke of Orleans, will depend
npon the duke himself or his father appeal
ing to President Carnot.

to Catch the Soldier Vote.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l8.-Gen. Alger left
here this afternoon on his way to the state
of Washington very much pleased with the
demonstrations in his honor organized by
Mrs. Logan and the local G.. A. r. men.
Gen. Alger is posing as the soldiers candi-
date, or rather as the G. A. r. candidate,
for the present. He thinks that no one can
get the soldier vote away from him if he
once gets it in his pocket, and he is rapidly
gathering it in. Gen. Alger is, of course,
promising unlimited pensions.

HAWAII AND THE SUGAR BOUNTY

Some years ago the United States nego-
tiated with the Hawaiian government
treaty. by the terms Of which the sugar
of the Hawaiian islands was to be adj
mitted free of duty into this country, and
the exclusive use of Pearl harbor, be-
longing to Hawaii, was granted to the
United States 1t is said that the Ha-
waiian minister at Washington has in
formed our government that his govern
ment will consider the paying of a
bounty on sugar grown in this country a
violation of the treaty, unless a bounty
is also granted to Hawaiian sugar. He
reasons that the consideration promised
Hawaii was free competition in this
country with the sugar of the United
States, and that can not be if the sugar
planters of this country are given a
bounty and the Hawaiian planters none.
Such claim, at first glance, would
seem to be ridiculous; but yet the con-
sideration given to the United States re-
mains intact, and that promised to Ha
wall would be lost or lessened in value
by the sugar bounty.
Another thing to be considered is that
Hawaii bargained for an exclusive priv
ilege-one allowed no other Countrywide
free importation of its sugar into the
United States. But if the sugar of all
countries is to be admitted free, as pro-
prosed by the Mckinley bill Hawaii will
lose that advantage over other foreign
sugar producing countries.
If, therefore, the tariff measure now
before the senate is passed, with pro-
vision abrogating the treaty stipulations
mentioned, the only thing this govern
ment can do will be to either propose a
new treaty with the Hawaiian govern
ment, or relinguish its claim to the har-
Dor privileges embraced in the present
compact. As to the bounty on sugar, it
is anything but a satisfactory provision
to those engaged in the sugar industry,
for they fully appreciate the uncertainty
of its being continued any length of time.
If sugar goes on the free list it may Just
as well be placed there Internationally.
The producers of this country care very
little for the bounty proposition.

municipal and corporate legislation,
and there is, at the hands of the people,
long delayed settlement coming, in
which, if there is found no rcompense
for past wrongs and burthens, the right
will at least be regained and the guilty
either adequately punished or consigned
to obscurity. We, however, desire to
reiterate in conclusion that prejudice
should not be permitted to weigh against
facts, nor yet unreasonable demands
needed. The soldier element for instance
of the Republican party in Kansas, who
may have joined quasi political organiza-
tons with the laudable purpose of right
ing his wrongs, should in all fairness,
before casting a vote of instructions
against Ingalls,, look up his record of
measures, Of votes and of speeches dur
ing the years when he was chairman of
the pension committee and an acknowl-
edged advocate of the union soldiers
cause and recognized eXtremenst in his
views and demands touching the oDliga-
lions of the general government to its
defenders. They will find that record
not only untarnished but brilliant So
to the farmer who is dissatisfied with
the tariff and with the monetary
policy Of the east and conditions Of the
west will find that Mr.. ingalls, has al
ways been in sentiments and in acts
with his state. They will find that as
far back as 1888 he made speech square
out for free coinage and that he voted
for free lumber and free sugar in the
session of seven years ago.
Andso with all the convictions, senti-
ments and demands of Kansas, he has ever
been in the fullest accord the contrary of
whichcannot be shown, nor can mere re-
solutions obliterate the facts. Norman pos
sesses a stronger faith in the righteous
ness of the final judgment of the people
touching the character Of any man or
the merit of any measure, than does Mr..
Ingalls,; his thoroughly trained mind
and his comprehensive experience readi-
ly warranting the assertion of
such a conclusion; yet no right
minded Republican can but
be disagreeably impressed with the spirit
of a warfare begotten almost, if not en-
tirely, of prejudices arising out of an alb
normal state of things, beyond the reach
of any individual power to adjust, which
warfare threatens personal disaster and
defeat to him ere the final vindication
begotten of dispassionate understand
ing of the people can be reached. Recol-
lection may fail, and the oppression of
untoward circumstances and recurring
hard times may result in prejudicial and
hasty actions such as might lay ''Ingalls
of Kansas" on the shelf, but the facts of
the record will stand, showing that for
eighteen years no Republican ever found
cause to blush over the reflection that
ingalls, was of Kansas.

Referring to the silver question and
the attitude Of parties and individuals
thereon, the Salina Republican observes
that 1.-The Democrats will do well to get
all their laughing in on that question
now, for it won't be half as funny for
them when they begin to devise ways
and means to place Grover Cleveland on
a free coinage platform. He is on record
as emphatically opposed toeven increase
of silver coinage" That's all true
enough; but speaking of laughing incon-
nectiOn with the question, it is pertinent
to remark that they laugh best who laugh
last, and from the stand taken by Benja-
min Harrison and his advisors, it is not
quite clear but that the display of risi-
bles will be with our friends, the enemy
after all. Some people are cute enough
to catch the drift of popular sentiment
and some are not.

MCKINLEY BILL DOOMED.

A special to the Chicago Tribune SAYS
that the Morrill, Mckinley tariff bill has
been given a private burial. Several
western senators who have positive views
about the feeling In their section against
raising the duties, and the New England
senators, who are pinched by the demand
for free raw materials, have promised TO
put up the headstone. Senators Morrill,
and Sherman do not know what has been
done yet, but they are likely to find out
that there has been a funeral. The west
ern senators have not held any caucus as
reported. They simply agreed that the
Morrill, Mckinley measure with Its high
duties and its ridiculous features like the
maple sugar bounty would not do for
them. They are now trying in an infor-
NAL way TO fix bill that they can sup
port. The underpinning of their
platform is sound, for they do not want
any increase except in the rare instances
where they can be justified. They will
encourage Senator Allison 10 stand
steady in his fight against the wool and
similar schedules as fixed by the major
itv in the finance committee. Lumber
they will try to bring lower than the
bill provides, and so on. Unfortunately
they have not yet got 10 the point OF
taking up Secretary Blaine's reciprocity
position in its entirety, partly because
Senator Allison has not so far seen his
way clear to yield his belief in uncondi-
tiOnal and immediate free sugar. But
with the progress that IS making there
Is hope that an understanding may be
reached. Among the western senators
who went into the movement 10 lay the
Morrill, Mckinley bill away without fuss
or feathers are said 10 be Spooner Of
Wisconsin. Farwell Of Illinois, Plumb of
Kansas, Davis Of Minnesota, and Man
derson of Nebraska.

Kansas City has 1900 residents of school
age. The incomplete census returns set
down her total population at 135, 000 Such
a relation does not exist in any other city
in the union.-Kansas City Times.
Oh, yes, we guess it does. Kansas
City is playing the baby act. Wichita
returns this year, simultaneously with
the government census, children of
school age to the number Of 1881. Kan
sas City returns only six times, in round
numbers, the school children returned by
Wichita and six times her population, so
such relation does exist. The truth Is
if Kansas City is entitled to a new count,
so is Wichita, and so a hundred or
thousand other towns of the country.
Ii Kansas City gets new count she will
make Porter ashamed of himself.

Among other things which have a good
deal to do with the condition of the
farmer in Kansas is the farmer himself.

Office department reached higher figures
in the financial year just closed than
ever before. The receipts amounted to
214,O00, 900 marks, the expenditures to
1S1, 900, 900, leaving net profit of 80,
100000 marks, which sum exceeds that
of 1889 by nearly 1000, 900 marks. The
United States government has pursued a
different policy. Here, instead of per-
hitting the postal department to yield a
net revenue. its earnings have been en-

service and in extending its scope.
