A QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.

Referring to the statement alleged to
have been made by Hon. John S. Clark
son, chairman of the national Republi-
can committee, in regard to the improba-
bility of the denomination of President
Harrison, and without for moment I'M
pugning the distinguished lowans mo-
tives, it is well to keep prominently IN
mind that principle, not patronage, Is
the animating purpose of the Republic
can heart, and any one among the lead
ers of the party who makes patronage,
not principles, his guiding motive must
inevitably meet with opposition, and
eventually with overthrow, because the
basis of his Republicanism will be con-
strsed to be selfish, unpatriotic, narrow
and unprincipled.
If President Harrison's nomination
should come, as it obviously will come.
in spite of the opposition of few poiitl-
cal bosses, it will reveal the strength OF
the Republican voters and the weakness
of the bosses themselves. He cannot
afford to make, should not make, and.
we have reason to believe, will not
make, any pledge of patronage or spoils
in return for a denomination. Ii his
splendid administration is worthy of the
Endorsement it has received from every
state Republican convention this year, 1t
would be folly to cast him aside. To
commend an administration and then to
thrust aside the administrator, would be
to subject the party to merciless ridicule
and ceaseless criticism.

OUR NATION AN EXPERIMENT.

Are we precipitating into a radical
war? Is there another Babel in prospect?
At some moments it appears that the
great issues of the future will be over
the race question. 1t will not be con-
fined to the negro race alone. There is
a movement on foot to establish a
political unity among the Germans; the
Irish may be said to have almost at
tanned that point; the Italians, the
French, the Scandanavians, will in turn
segregate. What will become of our
nation?
The races are antagonIstic. This is
true, not only of the great divisions, the
Caucasian, Malay, Ethiopian, Indian,
Monaghan, but by no means can we
hope before the millennium for a perfect
brotherhood between the sub-divided
tribal relations of each. The Irish hate
the English, not so much from political
causes as from an inherencv that is
roughly termed trace prejudice" the
French have no use for the Germans,
nor the Germans for the French, and so
on at your pleasure.
Our nation is an experiment. Rome
as a single native state lived. 1t was
the appenage of its far-reaching territory
and racial diversity that proved her
ruin. Napoleon tried the same thing
with fatal results. However, in these
cases, the races were left in and held
their native lands, and ranked under
the oppressive heel of conqueror.
Our nations experiment is a new one.
Its trial is conquest by amalgamation.
Since it was declared free and
open to all peoples of the globe, we have
received the stream of immigration and
nobody can sensibly doubt that they
have been successfully assimilated up
to within recent date. But is it con-
tinuing as successfully as it did? Are
we assimilating the races as we did !:
Isn't amalGamation on the wane when
the country begins to segregate into
social lines? Do not the most sanguine
among us fear such social condition in
the hands of INSCRIPTIONS and rascally
demagogues
We all love our nation, and most OF us
implicitly believe it to be the greatest.
the best, the most prosperous on this
terrestrial ball. But when our extreme
patriotism sharpens our solicitude, there
are moments when we are not so sure.

The mother of Clyde Mattox. the muir
derer now confined in the Shawnee county
Jail. is visiting him. She has married
since Clyde left home and her name is now
Mrs. Hatch. She is an intelligent and
motherly woman, and from the first has
done everything in her power to save her
son. She was greatly disappointed to
learn that the hearing of the case before
the supreme court had been postponed
until next September, as this will necessi-
tate his remaining in Jail that much
longer, at least. AtIidavits have been for
warded to Washington concerning the
delicate condition of Ciyde's health, and
she has some hope that the court will con
slider the case favorably and grant Clyde
his release on bond. In this case he would
be taken to some hospital to be treated.

As an illustration Of the possibilities
of sugar beet culture, an instance is re-
corded of a man at Grand Island, Neb.
who at labor cost of $40, raised thirty
six tons of beets worth s.. 30 ton, a to-
tai return of S19S from a single acre of
ground. With facts like this continually
cropping out, our farmers VIII soon
grow less cheap wheat and cotton and
turn to sugar beets. Then will perma-
nent prosperity for American agriculture
be assured AS to beet culture, there is
no question but that Kansas will produce
them as abundantly and profitably as any
state

Yesterday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
at the army headquarters in Chicago, a
test was begun of the value of the BIZ
cycle as conveyance for military dis
patches. At that time and place cycler
was dispatched with a message from
General Miles to General Howard, In
New York. He will carry it about ten
miles and deliver it to another, and it
will thus be passed on through hun
dred relays, with no delay on account
of the weather. Il is expected that the
bicycle will easily break the best record
made by horses in such work.

The sudden and unexpected death Of
Senator Barbour last week is said to have
caused feeling of nervousness among
the reverend senators. Coming so soon
after the death of Senator Plumb and
Secretary Window under almost exactly
like circumstances, it created most pro-

tors during one session of congress is a
remarkable occurrence, and the circum-
stances of the cases mentioned make it
unparalleled.

THE WAY IT WORKS.

Free traders point to the fact that the
operations of the present tariff law have
forced a number OF foreign manu-
facturers to remove their establishments
to this country, as proof that the Repub-
lican policy of protection does not pro-
tect; that the foreigner coming to this
country with his plant brings him into
more direct competition with our home
manufacturers than would result from
absolute free trade. 1t cannot be denied
that this is true in part, and if the
manufacturer alone were the party
affected it would be pretty strong
point. But our theory of government is
'the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber," and the coming of the foreign
manufacturer adds, by the number of
his employees, to the army of consumers
to be supplied with food by our farmers
and clothing by our manufacturers and
dealers right here at home, thus in
creasing the home market for our home
products. And not only SO, but the in
creased competition in the manufactures
effected by the new law as indicated
naturally tends to lower the price of the
manufactured articles to the consumers
thereof in this country.
1t is thus seen that, any way it is
taken, the operations of the much
abused Mckinley bill result in conserv-
ing the true economic principles of true
republicanism.
