States. Caffery said. is threatened with
destruction by the proposed increase
Of the bounty on sugar by the German
ReiChstag.
He thought it proper that Congress
should not permit such a great industry
to be destroyed by discriminating the
action of foreign countrys. That the
same discriminating action had driven
all cane sugar out of continental
Europe, and would destroy in the
United States an industry from which
half the population of his state gained

The Monitor Press thinks it was a

So many Republicans told US that

SIandering Kansas.

Kansas deserves better treatment
than it is getting at the hands Of the
prejudiced and ill-infOrmed partisan
press simply because the people of
that state, in their majesty as sOver-
eignS, saw fit to cast more votes for
William j. Bryan than for Major Nc
Kinley.
The people Of Kansas are as we'll
educated and as we'll hammered as the
same number of people chosen at
random in any other stateOf the union.
In fact. it may be asserted as a GER

citizenship of Kansas is superior in

HOW BRYAN WAS DEFEATED.
wha. Chairman Jones Says About II

Hope, Ark, Nov. lO.-A public re-
ceptiOn was rendered Senator James
X. Jones at the opera house in this
place yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was arranged for the
purpose of allowing the Senator's
friends and neighbOrs to show their
appreciation Of his work in the recent
campaign. People came into town
from all over Hampstead county TO
welcome the Senator, aud the little
opera house wss literally packed,
many ladies and children being pres
entail to see Jones.
After cordial greeting, Senator
Jones spoke for an hour or more on
the campaign and the obstacles that
had to be met. He said that the
result was victory for the Demo-
cratic party. He said that while
they had lost the election, they had
not lost the fight. The cause Of sill
yer was stronger to-day than it was
when the campaign opened, and
victory was assured in 1900. He paid
high tribute to W. j. Bryan, and
said he had made one of the most
wonderful fights that had ever been
made by any leader.
He said that the large number of
commercial orders placed previous to
election day, and contingent upon
McKinley's election, had been made
use Of in influencing the votes
of workingmen, and had caused
thousands Of Bryan men to vote for
Mckinley, and that Bryan lost the
election by the changes made during
the last three days of ghe campaign.
The Senator did not make any
effort at a set speech, but talked to
his friends in conversational tone.
His remarks, nevertheless, elicit
ed generous applause. His farmer
friends were out in force, and many
Popallsts and Republicans were in
the audience, and joined in to make
the welcome hearty one. Senator
Jones will remain in Hope several
days before leaving for Washington.

The most hideOus and deplorable
thought in this connection is that
only one Of the entire list can be
appointed; the others must be dis
appointed. Aud then they will all be
either appointed or disappointed.
We predict that the wishes of the
people Of Wellington will hardly be
asked for, much less considered, in this
matter. 1t will remain to be seen
who Chester will endorse for the
place and on this point there is not
much latitude for speculation.
