may hope to do his work upon the

men of his command have been sent

the insurgent headquarters. Divide

that is being so successfully carried

Evidence is not wanting to show
most conclusively that the vote of the
Populists in Kansas was a dishonest
one. The comparison of the vote with
that of other years and also with the
percent of increase of population
bears out the claim that in a score of
counties the fraud was glaring. What
is not so clear. is that there is any dis
position on the part of the Populists

UNwIsE GERMANY.

Germany has not forgiven the
United States for being bigger coun-
try, more prosperous, having a larger
liberty and with brighter outlook
in the future than she herself has.
There is no reason in the world why
Germany should slight this country
on all possible occasions, for she has
large representation on this side of
the water, and they are good citizens
of the republic too, but she does it all
the same, and the time will come
when it will be resented. Uncle Sam
has been particularly courteous TO
Germany, but she does not have to be
unless it is reciprocated by Germany.
There is nothing that the United
States would gain from closer rela-
lions TO Any European monarchy, but
a TcaC2ahle policy toward all the ma
tons is her aim, and ii. is their fault
and not hers if the cords are strained
All the hostility that combined Europe
can present cannot prevent this cOun-
try from growing rich, prosperous.
self-supporting and self-protecting
Better get used to the inevitable EN-
peror William is not so big man as
the president of the greatest republic
of the ages. No one is spelling for
fight over here, but no one is being
bulldozed into a subservience that is
not manly and American. In our ear
ly days there was no European nation
large enough or powerful enough to
compel us to lower ''old glory" and
these hundred years have not lessen
ed an appreciate atom our will or
power or patriotic intention to be let
alone to make our tea in our own way.
Germany has never lost an opportu-
nifty to attempt to cut into our
trade, our commerce, our markets.
or our influence in other quarters,
whenever she has had the slightest
opening. Uncle Sam has noted the
perversity of mind that has cropped
out again and again in the discrimi-
nations of Germany against this ceun-
try, but has treated them as the re-
suit of that country being governed
by a ruler, who came into his inner
itance of power as the ruler of con-
solidated Germany, before he had cut
his imperial eye teeth. Germany, as
anything more than a group of petty
municipalities, is too young to know
much about empire and colonial de,
tendencies, and Kaiser Wilhelm is
only rather smart boy who donned
his imperial toys before he had learn
ed how to wear them gracefully. He
is more headstrong than anything
else, and such his own people know
him. Much will be forgiven to his
youth, but when he persists in laying
his hand on the trade of this country
and prescribing it he will find that
there is weapon in the hand of the
American congress that will cut both
ways. When the ports of this coun-
try are shut to German immigration
end productions that country will
feel it. 1t is only that self-respect
that is obligatory upon nations that
could force this country to such a
course, but if forced to attempt re-
taliatiOn for German slight it could
make the return effective.
