La grippe is said to be epidemic in ST
Louis. Though not so acute IN form as
heretofore, its after effects are more
marked, all of the physicians agreeing
that the resultant nervous depression
and languor are more apparent and still
more difficult to overcome. The weak
ness of the glands in the throat, which
was marked effect of the disease last
year, is not so prevalent, but instead
the disease passes from the nostrils and
ewes to the ears, causing a painful in
fiammation.

The Kansas City Times, after a years
trial, has abandoned its evening edition.
and in doing so, says:
Every newspaper reader would rather
take morning than an evening paper.
There is no method by which an evening
paper can furnish a news report as full
and fresh as that of a good morning
paper.
The only difference in favor of the
evening paper is that the cost of news
service and publication is less and the
price is generally low.

The sudden death of Chief Mayes and
his first lieutenant and the critical illness
of the president of the Cherokee council,
announced in the dispatches, causes sus-
picion of foul play, but from what
source or the cause that could have
prompted it are hid in mystery. Neither
of these officials were antagonized by
any of their own people so far as is
known, and certainly no white person
could hope to facilitate the opening of
the disputed lands bearing the name of
that tribe to settlement by such an act.

The subtreasury idiom is no longer a
part of the Alliance doctrine, not one in

The government control of railroads and
telegraph lines proposition has likewise
been abandoned by the major portion of

of government loans on land as the only
excuse for continuing the organization
as a political movement.

Mr.. Mills, according to long estab-

But Mr.. Springer wants that place, and
having made Crisp speaker by his vote
at the critical moment, that gentleman

The whole Case in Concrete.

From the Abline Reflector.
The people who are making so much
fuss because Governor Humphrey does
not enforce the plohibitory law in every
four by six hamlet in Kansas seem to
forget that if the governor was omnis-
cient, omnipotent and omnipresent there
would be no need of local authorities.
City elections are the events that decide
the matter and when the people of a
locality select men from their midst who
are well known to be opposed to the en-
forcement of the law, it is all nonsense
to sit down and whine that the governor
ought 10 see to it for them.

Senator Call of Florida has reintro-
duced this year joint resolution author
izing the president to open negotiations
with Spain looking to the purchase of
Cuba, the United States to pay for the
government property in that country
and to compensate Spain for the COM
mercial advantages it relinquishes. The
resolution is in all respects identical with
that offered at the last session, and
which called forth some opposition at
the time. This was at one time General
Grants favorite theme and received
more favorable consideration from the
government at that time than it is likely
to receive now. The fact is, with the
present trade concessions, obtained
through the present tariff law, it is
doubtful if annexation, however
effected, would give us any additional
advantages, while such consumation
would be uDavoidably attended with
some, and serious, disadvantages. In this
case it will be well enough to let well
enough alone, for time at least.
