Treasury department officials
have decided that officers and en-
plOyes of the Government doing
special work in connection with
the Worlds Fair are not entitled to
extra pay therefor, and that only
their actual travelling expenses
will be allowed them in addition to
their salaries. This spoils a good
many anticipated "soft snaps, and
will make a detail for Worlds Fair
service much less sought after by
government employees. 1t seems to
be right and proper, too.
Senator Perkins brings good Re-
publican news from Kansas, and as
he ever lets his wishes run away
with his judgment his opinion of
the situation in that State is valu-
able and carries much weight, even
with the Democrats who have been
fondly hoping that the peoples par
ty with the aid of Democratic votes,
would carry Kansas. Senator Per-
kins considers it certain that the
Republican State ticket will win
and that at least five Republican
COngressmen will be elected,
with strong probabilities of
a solid Republican delegation.
And he thinks that the Republican
electoral ticket will win because
of the increasing belief of the citi-
zens that the success of the social
ed peoples party two years ago
greatly injured the credit and mat
erial prosperity of the State, and
because they thoroughly under
stand that vote for the Weaver
electors is all indirect vote for
Cleveland, who when President
opposed the wishes of the people of
! Kansas in everything. He says
that the farmers of the State now
understand that the Mckinley ia
riff law is beneficial to them and
that the statments made by Jerry
Simpson and iother calamity wall
ers, that the farmers are growing
poorer, and poorer every year, were
but the demagogic utterances of
man anxious to obtain offices for
themselves, and that they were alb
solutely without foundation.
There can be little doubt Of the
popularity of the Presidents ietali-
alton proclamation when two Sen
ators as wide apart, politically and
geographically, as Paddock of Neb.
raska, and Morgan, of Alabama, join
in commencing it. Senator Pad
dock says the message meets the
unanimous appreciation of the poop
lie of the northwest, regardless O
political opinions, and that it will
be the same with more extreme
measures, should be deemed neces
sary by the President to adopt such
Senator Morgan endorses the mes
sage, but regrets that it did not con
tain more radical system of retail
iation. He says that Canada ha
always been bad neighbor, an(
has never lost an opportunity t.
make herself disagreeable, and of
fensive, and that its government
has persistcntly disregarded on
rights from the seal fishries Of Alas
ka to the tishries off the eastern
Coast, and that he thinks the Pres
ident might with propriety have
gone much further in his proclama
ton than he did, even to the eXten
of preventing shipment of Cana
dian goods through the Unite'
States. / must quote q few re
marks of Senator Morgan's in thi
connection. They are so broadl,
American and patriotic and SCUM,
: so strange coming from man VIII

opted that free trade platform, a
| Chicago: ut is ridiculous, shame
: full, for a country like this to b
thinking always of what foreigner

t big to be trotted on England's kne
, and fed with pap. We are respor
sible for this country, for this hen
isphere, and we should think an
act for ourselves, with independence
of the opinions or customs OF fol
eigners. We are capable of produt
-. ing anything that the human heal
can desire and we are independer
of the whole world outside"
