Playing with fire is poor game for

Hays Hammond and his associates

Of failure against the advantages of
success before they took up arms
against the government under which

South Africa. 1t is reported that Mr.

THE NEW STATE CAPITOL.

1t is being charged around the state
that St. Paul is maturing plans to get
the legislature this coming winter to
considerably increase the sum fixed
upon as the cost Of the new state
capitol building, and the matter is
being considerably criticised by the
country press. On the other hand the
St. Paulites claim that nothing of
this nature is being attempted, but
that a move is being made whereby
the sum to be raised during the last
two or three years of the stated ten
year period for raising the money can
be anticipated by borrowing it from
some of the other state funds-the
school fund for instance-at a low
rate of interest In behalf of this
move it is urged that while the work
upon the building cannot only be
pushed along faster, but that it can
be done to better advantage to the
state by having larger sum of money
at one time in the purchase OF
material. There is doubtless much
in this view of the case, but any
scheme, if there be such, which may
be attempted to saddle an extra cost
on to the tax payers of the state in the
construction OF the new capitol will
be watched throughout the state with
a jealous eye, for while the state
needs new capitol the worst way and
has provided a generous sum there
for, there is feeling prevailing every
where that elegant quarters ought to
and can be easily provided for the two
million dollars fixed upon. The FREE
PRESS takes no stock in the rumOr
that ST. Paul wants an increased ap-
preparation. What it wants and what
the state needs is capitol building
commensurate with our growing de-
mands, and the present appropriation
can we'll and with economy be made
available so that the structure can be
pushed to rapid completion. The
present old barracks is wholly made
quate and unfit for the transaction of
public business, and the people of the
state as large are quite as much in
terested in pushing the capitol to
completion as are those of St. Paul.
The legislature will do we'll to provide
means for this end regardless of the
croaking of jealous and rival cities.

REGARDING Gen. Weyler's fiasco in
the field, the New York Mail and ES-
press says:
"Let no one underestimate the
moral force of this failure. 1t means,
in the present condition of Spanish
sentiment and finances, the success of
Cuba and the Cubans. 1t means that
both Gomez and Maceo have earned
the right to be regarded as men of ex-
ceptional military genius. 1t means
that the famous trocha is wall of
mist, to be penetrated at will; for
had Gomez not been thoroughly FAM
liar with Maceo's strength, he would
have been heard from week or ten
days ago. II means that the Cuban
reports have been true and the
Spanish false 1t means the beginning
of the end-for Spain; the triumph of
liberty and of right. and new with
drawal of monarchical control from

WEYLER'S FAILURE.

No wonder Gen. Weyler got tired
out in the field, and thought of press
ing business which demanded his at
tention in Havana Late reports
state that his command met with
terrible slaughter and defeat in the
hills where Gen. Maceo is entrenched
dynamite bombs had been placed
everywhere in the hills and connected
by electric wires, and when the
Spanish troops had been led into the
trap, the fatal button was touched
and hundreds of them lifted into
eternity. The Cubans then retreated
to another fastness, only to repeat the
same operation to the terror of Weyler
and his men. In addition to this
Maceo placed price on Weyler's
head. This is what the Spanish
butcher has been doing on the Cubans
and then laughing at their sufferings
when caught and placed under his
fortunes. But it was not so COM
Portable to have the tables turned
and the same game played upon him
by the enemy, and the thought ever
present that Cuban sharpshooters and
spys were looking for him while they
had shooting irons concealed about
their person, took all the charms out
of work in the field, and he hurried
back to the protection of the palace
at Havana. When Weyler went out
to take charge of the forces in the
field, he told what he was going to ac-
complish before Christmas. Now he
is as industriously telling what he is
going to do after the holiday period.
In the meantime the feeling is said
to be growing all over the island that
Cuba's day of deliverance from the
grasp of the despot is near at hand.

DURING the past October the eX-
ports of corn from New Orleans
reached 100000 bushels, which is
said to be about double the amount
exported from New York during the
same period. While the exports of
corn from this country for October
was about double the amount of those
for October, 1895, the amount ex-
ported from the eastern cities has
fallen off from one-third to one-half
and the sou them parts have gained

Is the FREE PRESS led to under
stand that the Mapleton Enterprise
pretends To be Republican paper?
1t can hardly lay claims to such, for
it gave no evidence of Republicanism
during the late campaign. Its strong
leanings to free silver is long way
from Republican doctrines, and it
cannot expect to now drop into the
traces and advise Republicans what
to do. Hardly. But it's advocacy of
Mr.. Spaulding for the postoffice is
quite right and will be generally ap-
proved.

ENDORSES SECESSION.

William A. White, the editor of the
Emporia, Kan, Gazette who made
name for himself by the manner in
which he handled Populism, and es-
peclally struck key note when he
wrote "What is the matter with
Kansas" well takes off the Pop cry of
the west against the east IN the fol-
lowing mock-heroic cry of of secession
because of the defeat of Bryan:
Let's secede. Let's tear loose from
the plutOcracy and arrogance and
brains aud responsibility Of the cor
rupt and unSympathetic east. Let's
gather to ourselves here in Kansas all
our jewels and flOunce out of the sis
terhoOd of states. Let's take our doll
rags and quit civilization and annex
ourselves to barbariSm. Let's abolish
interest; make poverty felony; pun
iSh work with a sentence Of enforced
silence; make thinking penal Of
Tense; enact brains into buttermilk
paint over lad astra per aspera" with
blue mud, and in its place inScribe in
letters of seething goose grease:
"Vive la Lease-Hurrah for He'll"
What's the use of being hound up
with communities that are chained to
the superSitionS about what they call
honesty? We of Kansas want to pull
veriZe the money power; we want to
iron, pot metal, asbestos, papier
mache and wampum, the pent-up
Utica and Schenectady and other
PlutOcratic centerS contract our
powers. With these communities
constantly reading on the ruffies of
her garments, Kansas is handicapped.
She can't bring forth the royal diadem
with the bright, glistening star of
of fiap-doodle shimmering in the
tiara and crown Bryan lord of all. We
cannot bow our devout knees to the
wall-eyed joss of tommy-rO from
days end to days end, as our piOus
spirits would, because, forsOoth, the
laws of nature, enforced by the mill
tary of the bondholders compel US to
saw wood or 60 hungry, fish or cut
bait.
Therefore, let us secede. What no
there, Alabama! Aux armes, citoyens
of Arkansaw! Arouse we Florida!
Rally round the standard Of Jerry
Simpson. who boosted of his ''fiat
moner lunacy," shouting the battle
cry of Kansas. PETER forever; hurrah,
boys, hurran! Up with Billy BRYAN,
down with the law; for we'll rally
round His Whiskers, we'll rally once
again, shouting the battle cry Of Kan

If war shall show his wrinkled front,

This is a great day for Kansas.

tables give the vote on president,

this comparison no account is taken
of the Prohibition, National Demo-
craft and Socialist vote. Only the
Republican and Popocrat vote is
taken. The table for the Second
