Egan is not an issue now. When Chill
grants or promises reparation, and fur
nishes suitable apology for her out
RACES against American sailors, and her
insults for the American flag, the Egan
case may be taken up in this country

The triumph OF the socialistic wing
of the alliance at Salina may not be
good thing for the organization, but 1t
is a good thing for the state. The more
this element gets into the saddle the
quicker this nag will be ridden TO death

Grover Cleveland is the only expires
ident of the United States who has ever
dabbled in the mire of politics. He is
now taking part in the New York can
vass and defending Tammany hall, the
most corrupt political organization that
ever existed on earth.-Kansas City
Gazette.
London dailies make mistake IN
seasoning their articles On the Ch1llan
situation with covert threats. Uncle
Sam is able to take care OF his own
uuarrels, and he will insist on satisfac-
ton from those who insult him. John
Bull would do no less were he in the
same position.-Kansas City Journal.
A little while ago Frank McGrath,
then president of the Kansas alliance,
told the jaw farmers to let up. for heav-
ep's sake, on the cry of calamity ana
starvation. AS a reward for his advice
McGrath was denounced as traitor to
the cause and kicked out. What IS the
use of being an alliance orator If you
can't howl calamity, anyway?-LaW'
renee Journal.
Consistency is a jewel. The Georgia
legislature, which has just adjourned,
was controlled absolutely by the farm
ers' alliance, and was elected upon the
most profuse pledges of economy and
retrenchment. Instead of carrying out
these pledges it has spent more money
than any legislature In the history OF
the state. with the result that the tar
ate is the highest ever known.
Haven Journal.
There is one paper that is just aching
to see this country whipped, and that Is
the St. Louis Republic. It has taken
the side of every petty scamp who has
| insulted the American flag IN foreign
ports, as it is doing in the Chilli matter,
and is trying by all the means IN Its
power to show that America deserves TO
be insulted. A very fine sense of pat
riotism pervades the Republic Office

Frank McGrath, the deposed king OF
the Kansas alliance, has been talking
too much, and now he says that the id
terviews misrepresented him. The To-
neka CAPITAL and Kansas City Times
offer to prove that Frank McGrath said
exactly what they credited him with
saving. McGrath is a pretty good fell
low. but like every other man In the
/ world he talks too much.-Atchlson

tt is onIy through the special favor oi
a benign providence, giving Us 58,OOO,,
600 bushels of wheat, that the credit oi
the state has not been utterly ruined by
Senator PETER. That the world still
has faith in Kansas is shown In the fact
that one loan agent, known to the Cap
ital. placed 81, 800 on a quarter section,
and S3, 600 on 240 acres with eastern In
vestors last week. A crop failure this

as smelt. Capital.
