ON TO Topeka.

The Pop administration will soon be
with us-Over us. How long they will
live depends on how they shall reign.
If they materialiZe as they prophesied.
it will be but a brief ghost dance, a
fare, a fiicker-nit, Their salvation is
in Il failure to keep their promises.
To do all that they have threatened
and agreed. Is 10 commit hari-kari. To
repudiate and TO stultify is to make
themselves solid. The people of. the
state did not elect them out of love for
them or their doctrines. but because
they had il il for the other crowd.
There was no love involved, only hate;
no confidence. but revenge. The last
campaign in Kansas was not an Open
manly war for principles. but case of
knitting under the fifth rib in the pro-
tecting darkness of the booth. The
field pieces on both sides were charged
with blank cartridges and gas. all
sound and fury; the effective slaughter
ing was done by bushwhackers. The
left dead on the field. The leaders
who emerged from the scramble with
the fruits of the victory are not leaders

They are but the froths of the seethe,
ad came out on top because of their
fOamy nature. Foam is but an aggre-
CATION OF small bubbles which in col
lapSing settle into a residue, the value
of which can only then be determined.
The Pop aggregation at Topeka will
either settle into "a consistent something
before spring or otherwise fizzle into an
intangible nothing.
The following is the program as fix
ell by law and custom with the Incl
dental factors attached and included:
The new state administration will

leave her without any way in which TO
pay her current expenses. Her two
wars with Cuba and the Philippines
will exhaust her treasury within ninety
Gays, and Spain is despairing. her real
hope being Intervention or other good
offices of the United States.
The possibility of securing peace be-
tween the Cuban insurgents and Spain
through the good offices of the United
States is yet but a vague hope. If it be
true, as reported, that the Cuban chiefs
would be willing to accept autonomy
under the guaranty of the United
States, and that the Spanish ministry
would be inclined TO accept the media
ton of this government, basis for ne
gotiationS would have been arrived at.
The difficulties of the problem. however
are of such character as TO discourage
optimism. The tremendous debt sad
died on Cuba by Spain is towering
obstacle TO any settlement. The Cubans
cannot assume ii and live, unless they
be delivered from economic thraldom
10 Spain; and the Spanish government
cannot release Cuba from economic
dependency without stirring up revolt
in Catalonia and other Spanish manu-
featuring districts. Even should all
other issues between Cuba and Spain
prove TO be open to compromise the
questions of the Cuban debt and the
Spanish tariff would seem to defy sat-
isfactory adjustment.

TRUSTS AND OPTIONS.

The stock markets are down, done
ing day is but a rehash of the preced-
ing day. May it not prove to be true
that the trusts are proving the death
of option dealing and all kinds of
stock jobbing. Not supply or demand,
nor unexpected exigencies longer figure
in prices, but the trusts fix them, and
so the occupation of the speculative OPP
orator is slipping from his grasp.
Hopes entertained at the beginning of
the current year that there would be
a considerable increase in the construc-
ton of new railways over the two or
three previous years have not been re-
allied. The new trackage added dur
ing 1896 will not exceed 1.S02 miles,
which is one mile less than the total re-
ported for 1895, and the smallest in
crease in mileage for any year since
1915. The abandonment or postpone
ment of the projected enterprises in
view Of the uncertainty caused by the
agitation of the silver fiatists during
the recent political campaign will &C
count in large measure for the small in
crease of railway mileage. The recent
break in the prices for steel rails hith-
erto maintained by the extortionists of
the Steel Trust under the cover OF
prohibitory tariff may encourage con-
srruction 10 some extent in the coming
year: but il would be better not to raise
expectations which might he doomed
TO disappointment There is no prospect
that the average increase in railway
mileage for the past three years viii be
exceeded in the next.

Harki A whisper close beside US
It's a voice we once knew well:
Tones that Time hath long denied US,
At what cost We may not tell
Strains of music now come stealing
Through the temples wide domain,
Til from wall and vauited ceiling
Echoes back the sweet refrain
PaleS the cheek with mem'rys flow,
In the eyes the tear-drops glistea,
Come the dreams OF long ago.
Be they grave, or tones of gladness.
From the past that backward flow,
Still the heart is filed with sadness
BY the strains of long ago.
Here are pictures DER whose glory
Time dusky veil hath thrown,
Each VIII tell a silent story;
rs scene We well have known.
There are others that are shrouded
By the hand OF Time as well:
Scenes that some fond. life have clouded
How darkiy, words can never eel.
Dost thou dare to lift the folding
From its long accustomed place.
And with scenes the Past is holding
Once again stand face 20 face?
