The Wichita Eagle has apparently
discovered deplorable condition of af-
fairs moral and political and prints a
wall which would put to aslame Popu-
list platform Much OF what the Eagle
says may be true, however Here it is:
E. n. Morrill,, governor of Kansas, by
reason of much disgust upon the part of
the people over Pop rule on one hand
and through many fair promises made
by himself and friends upon the other,
has by his subsequent bad faith and
double dealing gotten the Republican
party of Kansas into a state of dissatis-
faction scarce less deplcrable than that
which landed the state into the hands OF
Lewelling and a revolutionary leg
islature. 1t is now quite GER
tain that the declaration in Gov
ernor Morrill's inaugural address
in favor of majority sentiment was made
with not only a mental reservation but
with solemn pledges to the contrary.
| Talking one way and acting another has
resulted in confusion among the ele
ments for whom he spoke SO boldly and
with such seeming sincerity, and in dis
trust among the Prohibitionists who had
his pledge that after the failure of any
| city to thoroughly enforce the law that
| the officers of the State Temperance
union should have it all their own way.
| So we have five or six of the largest
cities of the state in quasi rebellion
against the Republican party, their Off
GERS disguised with the state admin
istration and its police commissions. its
assistant attorney generals, and endless
expense, to say nothing of undisguised
boodling and of insufficient revenues to
meet current expenses.
With go-easy man like E. N. Morrill,.
hampered by members of sentimental
societies, and nosed about by impractical
| agitators, such as win livelihood by
posing for something better, purer and
more unselfsh than those who have to
bear the burthens, it would seem that
the chances for anything in the way of
real relief or betterment of conditions
not very probable.

THE HATLESS MAN TRICK.
1t Has Been Heard of In PhiIadeI-
phia and Other cities.

President P. l. Bonebrake of the Cen
trail National bank says it will not be
known how many people were victimiz-
ed by the forger who passed check on
Mr.. Crosby until the end of the month
when the accounts are settled.
1t is probable that the forgery was
committed by the same man who has
been operating in eastern cities. He
was first heard from in Philadelphia
and less than week ago two merchants
in Kansas City were caught by the same
trick.
In every case the same plan was fol-
lowed as in Topeka. A man without
hat and in some cases without a coat
rushed into the store and asked the
merchant to cash check for neigh
boring merchant He would then leave
the store to get the check and would al
ways be seen to enter the store from
which the check was supposed to be is
sued where he would ask TO see the d.
rectory and in few minutes he would
appear with the check which would be
cashed without question. If the man
were watched he would be seen by either
merchant to cross the street and the i'm
preston of both was that he was en-
ployed in the other store.
To remove any possible suspicion he
would return with q check smaller than
he had asked the merchant to cash and
would say that his employer found that
he did not need so much money because
someone had come in and paid bill. 1t
is the cleverest thing of the kind ever
done and the most careful merchant
would have no suspicion. The forgery
is never discovered until the forger has
sufficient time to get away.

MR. REEDS POLICY

The Philadelphia American, discuss
ing the proposed policy of inaction for
the Republican majority outlined by
Speaker Reed in his inaugural speech,
calls attention to the possibility of the
party's losing all it has gained by follow
ing such a course. Attention is called
to the alleged difficulties in the way, in
GLIDING the presidents veto, the Demo
cratic and Populist majority in the SEN
ate and the perils of strategic bIunders
on the eve of a presidential election,
following which it says:
The Republicans were aware of all
these difficulties when they solicited the
peoples votes in the elections of this
year and last. They asked these votes
on the ground that their principles would
justify policy of action, not of mac
ton. They put forward no explanation
that their victory would be worth moth
ing to the country, except as a deciara-
ton of attitude towards the tariff OF
1898 And if they make no other use OF
the victory the people will be apt to
charge them with obtaining votes upon
false pretenses.
1t disposes of Mr. Cleveland by saying
that there is nobody behind him except
the money lenders and a part of the
traders in our great cities and body OF
half-intelligent theorists who can see
nothing but national dishonesty" in the
purpose to put back the worlds means
of payment to where it stood twenty
years ago. The writer closes with the
following strong words of warning:
One thing is certain, namely, that the
policy of inaction win give the ball into
Mr.. Cleveland's hands, and enable him
to put the Republicans on the defensive.
He is working up his retirement OF the
greenbacks" fad, as he worked up his
repeal of the purchase clause" fad at
the opening of the last congress he
has raised the cry that nothing less will
avail to maintain the national honor and
credit. Presently he will have the big
commercial bodies and their city news
papers in full cry after Republicans who
will not accept his lead, as he did in
1898. All who prefer 10 stand by the
principles of their own party, as was the
case then, will be stigmatized as enemies
of public honesty, and threatened with
awful consequences. And now, as then,
it will be Republicans in the press and
before the public who will be the most
jealous whippers-in for Democratic
president. 1t is. indeed, Republican,
MIR. Walker, of Massachusetts, who is
put forward as the sponsor of the presi-
dents programme, and has introduced
into the house bill to retire and cancel
the treasury notes as a protection to the
treasury.
As point purely of party tactics, Mr..
Reed and his friends are blundering.
And while we think Mr. Reed a poor
strategist, we do not expect from him
blunders in tactics.

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 20. - Advices
from Havana state that Campos will
make desperate efforts Immediately to
break the power of the insurgents. He
has determined to force the fighting be-
cause of urgent orders from Madrid.
The cabinet has informed Campos unless
decisive victories are won over the in
surgents Immediately it will be impossi-
BILE for Spain to procure money to main
tain her army on the island. The minis
ter of finance has said that the Spanish
treasury is empty, and the insurgents
have made such a showing that it is i'm
possible to float a new loan in any
European capital.
In view of this Campos is plainly told
unless the rebellion is broken shortly
Spain had as we'll withdraw from the ISL
and. Campos has therefore resolved
upon heroic measures. 1t is said he has
instructed Spanish officers to give no
quarter to Cubans in arms, and to treat
non combatants as mercilessly as in last

in Havana over a report that great bat
tie would occur near Matanzas, within

Judge Hazen's position is not so under

to reopen cases on which he has already
