WEBSTER ON INDEMNITY.

1t may be that our government is
rather premature in promising an IN
demnity to the families of the victims of
the New Orleans lynchers
The Louisville Courier-Journal recalls
the action of Daniel Webster. who was
secretary of state in 1851. when New
Orleans mob attacked the Spanish con-
sulate. Mr.. Webster informed Spain
that he would advise congress to indem-
Nifty the consul. because he was the rep
resentative of foreign government, and
was under the protection of the United
States. But he embraced the occasion 10
say that our government had nothing 10

ed in their own private business. Such
residents, he said. must take their
chances, and when they suffer injuries

their representatives must seek redress
in the courts. Lord Palmerston endors-
ed Mr.. Webster's position, and Spain had

but as assassins. They were treated Just
as We treat native Americans when their
crimes provoke an outburst OF mob VIC

1T Is NOT FREE TRADE.

Free trade talk about the Brazilian
reciprocity treaty's involving a sur
render of the protective principle is pure
demagogy. Not an article is allowed to
come in free from Brazil which was not
free under already existing protective
legislation. A duty on these articles
would be a duty for revenue-in other
words, free trade tariff. Instead of
the treaty's being a concession to free
trade, it is opposed to it, widening, as it
does, the distance between our present
method of levying duties and the rev.
enue only method advocated by free
traders.
In consistently carrying out its pro-
tective policy, the United States govern
ment woke up to the fact that it was
granting to certain nations privileges in
our markets which had for them a
money value. while like Concessions
were denied to the staple products of
other countries. On the other hand, our
people were receiving no special favors
of any kind in the markets of these
favored nations. Our government was
confident that they could be induced to
consent to pay for the privileges they
enjoyed by granting TO us similar privi-
leges in their markets. The correctness
of this view has already been demon
strated by the Brazilian treaty. which
makes a wide breach in the Brazilian
tariff wall for the entry of American
products exclusively.

Every day we hear more of the planting
of sugar beets in Kansas. the talk IS
sensible and the work will be profitable
Kansas can raise better beets and more of
them than any other country in the world,
and in the near future sugar making will
be one Of our leading industries. The
sugar that pays will not be made from
sorghum. The only thing you can make
of sorghum In this or any other country is
an annual failure.-Lawrence Journal.
That the sugar beet can be success
fully and profitably grown in Kansas
there is no room for doubt, and that it
will in the near future become one of the
states great staple crops, there is no
more doubt; but as to sorghum the
Journal Is off, wrong. The value of
sorghum has been demonstrated beyond
further question, both as money crop
and feed crop for stock. 1t is not a
failure and will not be abandoned.

lt was little bit Notifying 10 Column

her children viii not obey unless they

q pledge to the effect that Louisiana should
make amends for the mischief she has

The only real cause for modification
in connection with the incident referred
TO that careful investigation has brought
to light is found in the laxity of Colum-
bias regulation of the immigration oues-
ton, under which looseness such occur

occasion for any pledges and none are

SIMPSON ADMIRES INGALLS,.

From the New York Recorder.
In speaking Of his political career,
Jerry Simpson said it was as much a
surprise to himself as to anyone else. 81
realize now that l have a very difficult
position to fill, because a great deal will
be expected of me, and know that am
not man of any great ability. l have
never claimed to be. | expect to be fiat
tered, and temptations will be set before
me. but intend to cast them aside.
know that if l get the big head it means
my ruination, but 1 won't, for detest
any one with a swelled head. l am 60
ing to pursue the even tenor Of my way
and do the best can"
Mr.. Simpson is delighted with the con-
version Of ex-senator Ingalls, to the prin-
ciples of the Alliance. He is great adj
mirer of Mr.. Ingalls,, and says
that the people of his state are very
proud of the brilliant qualities Of
the ex-senator. ''Ingalls' conversion
was sudden, but think it is sincere. st.
Paups conversion was also sudden, but
he did great work for the cause Of
Christianity, and expect Ingalls, will do
great work for the Farmers Alliance"
Mr.. Simpson is also most enthusiast
tic admirer of Senator German, and
thinks the Democrats could do no better
than to nominate the Maryland senator
for president. II studied all the great
statesmen at Washington" added Mr..
Simpson, land think l sized them all
up pretty we'll l picked German out
to be by far the ablest man in Wash
ington. He is splendid fellow. l do
not think Governor Hill compares with
him. Hill has been greatly hattered,
but he never can be nominated for pres
ident The west and south have no use
for him."
Mr.. Simpson is in charge of Henry
George, who is showing him all over the
city and introducing him to the leaders
of Wall street.

The Des Moines Register admonishes

The Des Moines Register admonishes
Senator PETER to be more conservative
and to abandon his Revolutionary"
financial scheme. This provokes the
Atchison Champion to remark that
"when the junior Kansas senator takes
his cue from such an implacabls party
organ as the Register it will be much
colder than it has been thus far this
spring. Men of Senator PETERS mould
do not take kindly to gratuitous advice
from avowed political enemies" What
ever Mr.. PETERS mold and disposition
to take gratuitous advice, In this in
stance his recently declared political
affiliations certainly warranted the Reg
ister in offering the gratuity. The
Champion is a trihe too superstitious.

The Chicago election seems to have

and that is that Carter Harrison has not

doubleday have defeated him, the Re-

The Globe-Democrat thinks that the
expense Of the Hearst funeral-S20, 900,
is more than offset by the gain of Re-

to incur the expense in order to secure

enough, from the standpoint of money
consideration; but, inasmuch as it was
not, but that the change would have
taken place without expense to the gov
eminent in any amount, the CD.

The Newton Republican is getting to
be the most implacable, incorrigible
party crank extant. 1t isn't pleased
with anybody or anything. For instance,
it says: Reciprocity, diplomacy and
other high things which enter into the
peculiar idiosyncrasy of James G. Blaine
are forcing him upon the attention of
the people as the next man to occupy
the presidency" If reciprocity ard dip
iomacy as planned and executed by Mr..
Blaine are idiosyncrasies, what, in the
estimation of the esteemed, is the correct
standard of craftsmanship?

Morrow is mourning the departure from
Jail of one of his most promising young
prisoners, and he blames the Young
Mems Christian association for bringing
about the escape. Sunday afternoon a
dozen Y. NJ. C. A. men went to jail
to hold services, as is their usual Gus
tom. Among the prisoners was a
young fellow named Herschel Paris,
charged with robbing the mails. Paris
is good looking boy and shrewd one.
While the services were at their height
he slipped unobserved to his cell, got
inside his overcoat, pulled on his gloves,
doffed his silk hat, took his prayer book
in his hand, and was soon leading the
exercises. Then he walked out with
the other young christians and bade the
Jailer good-by. Nothing has been Ieen
of him since.
