THE CRY OF JINGOlSM.

There is a great deal of talk about
American jingoism upon the part OF
foreign papers in connection with the
senate resolutions recognizing the indie
pendence Of Cuba, and no little cyni-
cism of the same character from GER
tain class Of papers in New York, Bal
timore, Philadelphia and Boston; that
is, class of papers who estimate the
| defense of trusts and gold as wise con-
servatism. Secretary Olney is the big
! gest, the brainiest statesman connected
with either of Cleveland's administra-
| tons, but Mr.. Olney, unfortunately, be-
| longs 10 the school Of which we speak.
In his Venezuelan diplomacy he proved
| the wide-awake, progressive American,
but in the Cuban affair. which involves
| the great commercial interests of the
trusts, he is but the reflex of Grover,
and so he is seeking to delay the mat
ter by suggesting grave obstacles. But
he will fail of his purpose. The reso-
lutions will be reported on the reassem
bling of congress, when all of the facts
of the cruel outra geS which have been
perpetrated by the Spanish upon the in
habitants of that island will be made
public. The present troubles arose from
an attempt of Spain to saddle an addi-
tional hundred million dollars Of bonds
on that tax-ridden people, burden
which they were unequal to. The re-
volt being a reasonable one, and that
for which they are fighting worthy the
sympathies of the world, their inde
pendence is inevitable. This country
being the nearest, the most closely al
lied commercially, it will be found i'm
possible for it to play Growers game of
neutrality. The senate of the United
States and the people who are asking
fair play for the Cubans are not doing
so because of any desire to see Cuba
annexed to the United States. Very
few want any such thing. Nor is the
objection that Cuba in the event Of in
dependence would prove unequal to
Republican form of government, of any
Importance. They cannot live under
the debt saddled by Spain, and their
autonomy is matter of necessity,
whatever the character of their gov
eminent. However, the Cuban is as
enlightened and as capable as the Mex
lean, and Mexico is a republic.
No, it is not a question Of doubts. of |
obligations to Spain as a friendly pow
er, nor of even the property interests |
in the island belonging to citizens of |
this country, but a question of right. |
1t is question of obligation to human
ity, defense of principle which we
as people hold to be inalienable. as it |
is a protest against butchery Of a de-
fenseless people and of starving wo-
men and children to death in sight of
our shores. These have got TO cease,
and no cry of jingoism or plea of treaty
obligations can prevent interference
upon the part Of this government, cost
what it may.

TOO MUCH WHISKY.

Like the devout mendcant who was
praying to heaven to send him a barrel
each of this, that and the other, and
who among other things enumerated 4
barrel of pepper, or like the piscatorial
party who had five dollars worth of
bread, and who wondered what they
were going to do with so much bread,
so it is little shocking to find that in
the treasurer's report for November the
only item of internal revenue taxes
that shows an increase is whisky. Arti-
fetal butter fell off $4,000; tobacco,
$166,000, and fermented liquors $780,
600. The receipts from whisky were
1851 900 for the month, an increase
of $4,000. Why is this? Can it pos
sibly be that Thanksgiving Day was
celebrated bibulOusly, or that far-sight-
ed dram drinkers began in November
to lay in supplies for the Christmas
egg-nog? Such perversion of these fes-
tive occasions is much to be regretted.
1t speaks badly for the progress of the
age that the month given to national
Thanksgiving is marked by an increased
consumption of alcohol. When hilarity
and happiness cease to be associated
in public opinion with an artificial &C.
stacy of the mind. statistics will proba-
bly, show a more desirable state Of
things,

A STATE FISH HATCHERY.

The finest edible fresh water fish in
the world, not excepting trout, is the
| plymouth American black bass. found
| in all the streams of South Kansas
| which are fed by springs. notably the
Walnut river and its tributaries. the
Cana. the Neosho and the Minnesota
and their larger tributaries. as also in
the Marmaton. The present state fish
commissioner. Mr.. Otis Sadler. is the
first practical man the state has ever
had in the position. He has given his
time and attention 10 the planting of
Kansas streams with bass and giant
croppie, while his predecessors did little
else but talk. make report and draw
the insignificant salary attached. The
close season. in which it is unlawful TO
take fish in Kansas streams is from
April i TO July /. Commissioner Sad
Ter says the law should be amended so
as to cover the entire spawning season
beginning with January / 10 July 1.
Commissioner Sadler in his biennial
report TO the governor, now in the
uduuS VI int pilutcl, ICNcitiiilchuS tiC
establishment of state hatchery and
additional appropriations for the de-
partment. with only $780, said Mr..
Sadler. lit is almost impossible to ac-
complsh any great amount of good. l
succeeded in stocking the most import
ant streams in the state, eleven or
twelve in number, but it required n
large amount of hard work and schem- |
ing to travel and pay expenses that |
were absolutely necessary with so
small an amount of money"
During the two years Mr.. Sadler has |
put out $3.50 grown, full-siZe fish and |
anticipates that with proper legal pro-
lection from fishermen few years |
will find the streams well supplied with |
large numbers of the gamey varieties |
which delight the sportsman. Unless
the spawning season is better protected |
Mr.. Sadler says it will be difficult to
esta blish the fish in the streams in |
which he has placed them, although
the waters thereof are particularly
adapted to the propagation of the vari-
cites which he used in stocking them.

NO WINTER YET.

Whatever else may be said for or
against South Kansas as a country,
there is one undeniable. self-evident,
every day observable fact by every
body, and that is that we have the
finest winter climatic conditions in the
world. Everybody has been predicting
that the last spell of cloudy dampness
would terminate in a blizzard or cold
wave but it didn't South Kansas was
not touched by either Of the last two
storms which swept over the country,
and as far south as northern and CEN
trail Kansas. There has been no winter
here for two or three seasons. Every
body predicted that the present winter
would prove severe. but up to date it
has been sunshine with springtime soft
ness. except for a single day. the side
wipe of the tip end of the blizzard
which swept over the north and east
two or three weeks ago. The climate
of South Kansas and of Oklahoma is
a golden mean, the most satisfactory
aud delightful.
