CLEvELAND'S PATERNALISM.

Protection is not paternalism in any
sense, the dismal screed of that hodge
podge message of his mighty majesty

contrary Notwithstanding. He speaks
of the only policy possible of prosper
lily as 'enervating paternalism." His
idea. no doubt, was TO Smirch the great
tenet of the Republican party with a
cast of socialism. PaternaliSm means
government ownership, while protec-
ton Is the conserving OF the interests
of home producers. The government
neither buys, seelS or owns the pro-
tected product in any sense. Protec-
ton is not even a bounty. 1t is a
stimulation coming of guaranteed ad-

DID CHICAGO GUY KANSAS?

Has Kansas been guyed? If she
has we want to know it. 1t is a terri
| bly, humiliating thing to be guyed and
know it; it is ten times more humiliat-
ing to be guyed and not know it. The
man who is aware he is being guyed
is capable of bringing the defense Of
resentment TO his aid; the man who
is being guyed and does not know it,
is guyed all the more for his stupidity.
1t is rumored rather broadly over
the state that the Kansas Million meet
ing in Chicago was guyed by Chicago.
1t is said that the Chicago papers wrote
the meeting up with glowing ferv0r,
which on a second reading. looks sus-
piCiOusly extravaganza. This together
with the reported circumstance that
George r. Peck, formerly a resident of
this state and grown to fame in Chi
cagO, avoided the meeting, and that a
great invisible snow storm buried John
]. ingalls, in its mystical drifts up In
Wisconsin and would not admit his
attendance, lends the color of verify to
the rumor.
Did Chicago guy the Kansas meet
ing? Did score of reporters under
special instructions from managing edi-
tors, with an eye to the commercial
welfare of Chicago, write up the Kan
sas meeting in explosive enthusiasm,
under which ran current Of ridicule
apparent only to the initiated Chica-
goans? Did the Chicago papers pub
lish cartoons inscribed that kansas
was in town" with an old dilapidated
mortal, lily dressed and with nothing
but inanity and stupidity in his face,
representing a typical Kansan?
We hope not. But someone who
knows should speak out and tell us
the truth, without bias. Kansas will
not allow Chicago to guy her. Chi
cago with its ariStocracy of pork-pack-
erS, its illiterate public speakers, its
filthy boulevardS and atrocious statues,
its saloon and gambling hell-dominated
politics. Kansas, with its passionate

phasizes the fact that an important re-
port was left out of the opening ex-

much, and to what extent can our rep
resentatives disburse fund without
knowing the nature and amount of our
balance? Has Mr.. Carlisle, by this
act, served notice upon congress that
its per diem is TO go on, and that its
services are TO be nil till he sees fit TO
produce the balance sheet? Would he
say TO congress that any or all Official
acts. involving the use Of money are

law unto himself, disregarding preee-
dent as well as the absolute require
ments by law provided: Is he belated

ernment's varied resources, and Is he
burning midnight oil in his efforts TO
lay report before congress at the
earliest moment possible: So far as
the people are concerned they are left
TO interpose inquiry without limit,
while the simple, stubborn fact re-
mains that the report is still missing.
Not only inquiry affiicts the minds OF
many, but reasons. substantial and
otherwise, are formulating among the
common people, which, ere long, Will
be assigned for the secretary for this
derelicion in official duty. The stu
alton is aggravated by the much her
aided shortage which is known TO exist
in his allowance of public pocket
money. Temporary expedients have
al, w 70
amount and it becomes a matter OF
deep concern TO all 10 know whether
this nation is TO continue in business
or shut up shop. Bond issues are
well enough in rare emergencies, with
in safe and reasonable limits. but will
the people indorse an unlimited accum-
ulation of debt in order to keep the
cash drawer replenished?
The feeling of unrest touching these
matters is in no wise allayed by the
secretarys holding back the statement
already overdue. The time is now
near at hand when Mr.. Carlisle will
awake to the fact that the peoples de-
mands are above his royal will. There
will be thunder about his ears which
will bring him to realize that his posi-
ton is nothing more than that of
pubic servant, and that neither his
dilatory methods nor his ignoring of
their demands will serve his purpose,
whatever that may be. If the delay
is intended to serve the base ends OF
party advancement it will be so much
the worse for him and his party. The
wire pullers of the administration will
see that the people are just now re-
garding all Office holding as serious
business, and every incumbent is ex-
pected to fulfill the requirements of his
position, regardless of its effect upon
individual or party prospects. This
report should be forthcoming at once.
There is no just cause for further de-
lay, and if deferred longer the only
good there can proceed from 1t is that
Democracy is losing votes at the rate
of a million minute.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Aug. 90
James Corners and Ed Sheldon es-
capped from the county jail. They
sawed a bar in the lower north cor
ridor, and in the enclosed yard they
climbed to the top Of the wall from
which point they escaped. Corners
had been bound over to the circuit
court for trial on the charge of rob-
bling the Weeks & Hurlbut store on
July 4. Sheldon was awaiting SEN
tence, having pleaded guilty to a
charge Of stealing a suit of clothes
from a buggy, July 6. There was an
other prisoner in this corridor, but he
asserts that he knew nothing Of the
operations of the two men. He says,
however, that stranger passed III a
newspaper to Corners Saturday, and
this is supposed to have contained the
saw. There is no trace of the men.
The man who gave the package to
Connors is believed to be the mySteri-
Gus man known to the police as the
Jap. Connors left a noe for the sher-
iff in which he stated that he was
sorry to leave the place under such
circumstances, but that he had no al
terna tive
