His Future Behind Him,

Gen. Weaver feels proud of the
popular vote which he received for
President, but the fact remains that
Fillmore, the Know-nothing candi-
date for the Presidency in 1856, re-
ceived almost as many votes when
the population Of the country was
only a little more than a third as
large as it was in 1892. Moreover,
Fillmore'S party had virtually disap-
peared from the stage four years
after the time that he was it's stand
ard-bearer. History is extremely
likely to repeat itself in this case.
Undoubtedly 'Populist strength cul-
minated in 1892. Viewers future is
all behind him.

make very cheap outing.

Atchison Champion: One Of those
strictly substantial farmers who have
made Mitchell county one of the fore
moet in north central Kansas, is j. A.
Hazeltine, the wheat king OF that coun-
ty. His wheat crop in the last two
years has averaged him $4,000 bushels
year. He believes Kansas farming
pays, He sowed 700 acres last tall, and
it is doing well. He owns seven quar-
tiers and is the possessor of the only
steam pillow In that county. He has IF
ty head of horses and as many head of
cattle. He located in that county in
III. and says he has made money from
the start. Hs says anybody can make
money farming in Mitchell county if
he attends to his busin ass.
From Kiowa: There is considerable
trouble over the arrest by a deputy
United States marshal of two boomers
who were caught cutting timber in the
Cherokee strip near town. When it be-
came known that the arrests had been
made, a mob of about 100 gathered
around the house where the officer was
holding his prisoners and demanded
their release. This the marshal refused
at first, and 1t was only after the mob
had attacked him and we're making
preparations to carry out their threats
of lynching that the officer surren-
dered his men. The people, and es-
pecially the boomers, have no love for
the deputy marshals, who make innu-
merable arrests on the fimsiest pretexts,
80 as to increase their fees, and there is
liable to be further trouble ever this
case, as it is reported that United States
Marshal Walker of Kansas and Grimes
of Oklahoma are sending a number of
deputies here under orders to re-arrest
the two prisoners taken from the officer,
and all those who molested the latter in
the performance of his alleged duty.
All these boomers carry weapons, and
they are in no mood to tamely submit
to any action that will remove them
from the place they have elected to
start from in their race for home on
the strip.

A Now Man.

Some of the prophets are sayiEs
that Harrison is the illogical" candi-
date for 1896, others say that McKin-
ley is, and still others say that new
man will come to the front in the in
terval and carry off the prize. This
guessing is easy and fascinating, bit
at this early stage of the game it do6s
not satisfy anybody, not even the
guesser. Of course it is the Cleveland
precedent that gives Harrison place
in the guessing, for if anybody else
but Cleveland had been nominated by
the Democrats and elected last year
nobody would ever think of Harrison
again in connection with the Preai-
dency. If the tariff question should
be side tracked in 1896 neither Haf-
rison nor Mckinley would have any
chance for the nomination. In any
contingency, however, there is less
risk in betting on the new man" than
on any particular one of the old men,
Globe Democrat.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Kirwin Globe: The cars for the side.
track to be put in at halfway between
Kirwin and Cedarville are on the ground.
The people of that neighborhood are
sure of side track, whether they get a
grain elevator or not.
Burlington special: Word was re-
ceived from Leroy by telephone that
a freight train on the Missouri Pacific
was wrecked just south Of Leroy. Five
men were injured. The disaster was
caused by a defective switch. All of
the train except the caboose got safely
over, but the caboose took the wrong
track and pulled three cars off with it.
The cars were overturned and dragged
nearly hundred feet before the train
could be stopped. They swere badly
demolished. The conductor, brakeman
and three passengers were injured, the
conductor fatally and George Redfern
seriously.

THEINJUNCTION.

The Attorney General Moves a Dismissal.
TOPEKA, February 2O.-The Injunction case
to prevent Treasurer Biddle and Auditor
Prather from paying the salaries of the leg
islators and attaches, which Is in reality the
method determined upon to permit the
courts to decide the legislative difficulty,
came to trial in the district court.
In the district court room was nearly every
lawyer in the city. The room was crowded.
Attorney General Little made motion 10
dismiss the case. The attorney general and
his assistant in the case, Judge Webb, main
tanned that the attorney general had the
right and authority to order the case dropped
that the district court had no jurisdiction in
the case, and that County Attorney Curtis
had no power to bring the suit.
Judge Hazen oyerruled the motion and
demurrer. He held that the district court did
have authority in the case and that the drop
ping of the case was matter of discretion
with the court. He said. '1f these matters
are to be settled. they must be settled by the
court. Force is now prevailing and armed
men guard the city, but force will not pre-
vail long"
The attorney general took exceptions to
the rulings of the court and gave notice that
he would appeal the case to the supreme
court.
Hon. T. F. Carver, for the prosecution,
addressed the court and told what the testi-
mony for the prosecution would try to prove.
He then reviewed the history of both houses
from the time Secretary of State Osborn left
the hall in disgust to the present.
The republican attorneys continued to
push there side of the case, the populist law
yers Directing whenever it was possible.
Colonel w. 81. Rossington read from the
journal of the populist house, the story of
how the popullst house was recognized, as a
part of the evidence.

would have taken eighty electoral
votes from CleveIand's column and
would have given 224 electoral votes,
a majority of the Electoral College,
to Harrison.
These are facts which all Republic.
cans will do well to bear in mind.
Democratic and Mugwump assertions
about popular uprising" in favor of
Grover Cleveland are falsehood and
rubbish. The election statistics show
that nothing of the kind occurred.
They afford no reason for Republican
dependency, but ample reason for
Republican confidence. If the Re-
publican party is true to its princi-
Piles and its record it can command
victory in 1896.

The Free Material Humbug.

When the free trader is announcing
the great captures" Of trade this
country will make in the markets of
the world with the help of free raw
materials it never occurs to him to
explain why we are not already in
possession Of those markets in the
very important lines of production
which have enjoyed free materials for
years. Take for example the three
classes of raw materials, pa per stock,
silk and cotton. They are all abSo-
lutely free of duty. If the free trade
theory is correct we should be export
ing immense quantities of paper, cot
tons and silks to the captured mar
kets. But we do nothing Of the kind.
On the contrary, our imports Of
those very things far exceed in value
our exports of them, as will be seen
by the following figures for 1892:
cottons s s@5 BSs, 81 s EfRSr 81
Silks. Observation-Disclosures. 31,172S 1874 152,15c
Paper and its manufac-
lures. ................... 3.3i2,3O4 1862, 9h
The trouble with the free trade
theory is that it overlooks the real
obstacle to any very extensive con-
quests in the markets Of the world.
That obstacle is the high wages OF
American labor The only entry to
the foreign market at present in
most lines of American manufacture
must be by way OF a reduction in
American wages to the European
level.

The Hawaiian Treaty.

WASHINGTON. D. c., February 20-Ths
treaty provides for the cession of all rights
of sovereignty over the islands and all the
public buildings and property to the United
States; revenue from public lands, except
such as are reserved for government pur-
poses to be used solely for the benefit of
the people of the islands. Until congress
provides otherwise, the existing govern
ment and laws of the Hawaiian islands are
continued subject to the paramount author
ity of the United States. A resident commits
sioner is to be appointed who shall have
power to veto any act of said government.
Until congress enacts the necessary leQisla-
tion existing commercial relations of the
Hawaiian islands, both with the United
States and foreign governments, shall con-
.tinue. Futher immigration of the Chinese
into the the islands is prohibited and Chi
nese now in the islands shall not be pre-
mitted to come into the present territory of
the United States.
The public debt of the islands is assumed
by the United States to the extent OF s., $780,
900. The United States agrees to pay Queen
LilIuokalani $4,000 a year during life and
t. Princess Kaliuolani $150.0O0 Provision
is made for the exchange of the ratification
of the treaty at Honolulu as soon as posi-
BILE on the part of the United States by the
resident commissioner provided for in the
treaty.
It will be observed that under the proyi-
sions of the treaty the sugar producers of
Hawaii will not participate in the bounty
provided by the Mckinley bill unless con-
gress should extend 1t TO the islands.

Growers Defeat in Murphy's Case.

Mr.. Clevelahd's defeat in the Sem
atorship matter in New York is rem
dered all the more humiliating to him
by the fact that it was altogether
needless. He had no right to inter
fere in the affair one way or the 9TH
er. Everybody knew, of course, that
Murphy would not be Cleveland's
choice, but it he had kept silent
about the matter Murphy's victory
could not be considered a direct and
formal setback for him.

CIeveIand's Blacklist.

1t may be taken for granted that
Cleveland is not going to give any of
the patronage to the men who were
actively engaged in the movement
against his nomination at Chicago.
The fact that they supported him
after he was made the standard bear
er of the party in spite of them
counts for nothing with man of his
temperament and characteristics.

"1n one week the improvement was

THE YACHT HOME

Rode Out the Gale Safely-A Happy
C1rcUmstance-Arrlv at New Lon-
don Yesterday.
News was received last evening that the
yacht lone of the New Haven Yacht club,
which was reported missing, arrived all
right at New London harbcr yesterday.
The boat, which ia owned by George F.
Eaton, con of Prof. Daniel 9. Eaton of
this city, was anchored in Mantle herbor
when the gale began to blow Thursday
morning. The cutter began to drag an
Choir, Notwithstanding the efforts of her
owner and his sailor, Ingoveld Carlson,
who were aboard. They remained aboard
the yacht until 8 O'Clock, hoping the gale
would abate. They then, as the yacht was
to all indications drifting directly for the
rocks, concluded to abandon her, and took
the small boat and tried to row ashore
They drifted to the Howard house pier
with astonishing rapidity, where willing
hands soon helped them ashore The
yacht, 1t was feared, would be dashed to
pieces, but happily there was an altogether
different result. The anchor In dragging
caught against stake and was held fast,
despite the fury of the waves and wind,
and there she remained until the seas
oalmed down. Then Mz. Eaton and his
man took boat and went out and boarded
the yacht, which was found to be in good
order, and they sailed her for New London
harbor, where they arrived yesterday, as
stated. Prof. Eaton went over to Mantle
and New London on hearing of the peril
which had threatened the party, and re-
turned last evening.

The fearful number of infant deaths

But when in the first year of the bsby's
