ENGLAND AND SOUTH AFRICA.

The South African mining ''ring" has
made a last desperate effort TO excite
public sympathy for its evanscent
cause by spreading the report that Mr..
Chamberlain had a card up his sleeve
to take the odd trick in his game with
President Kruger, and that the surprise
would be sprung at the trial of DR..
Jameson, when il would be shown that
the real purpose Of the raid was To get
possession Of papers at Pretoria which
would have disclosed the fact that the
TranSvaal government was involved In
an intrigue with Germany. That such
an absurd rumOr should have obtained
even mOmentary cTedence shows the
dense ignorance which prevails In Eng
land concerning South African affairs.
The Beers do not desire any foreign
protectorate. and President Kruger has
doubtless given voice to the general
sentiment of the Dutch AfricanderS in
HIS declaration that If the suzerainty
Of any European power should be pre-
sented to them as 4 choice of evils they
would prefer that OF the British people,
whom they know, and with whose
methods OF government they are fam
liar.

THE DEMOCRATIC ROW.

That inevitable Democratic row in
Chicago will be worth going miles to
see. The free-trade-importing COLLIDE
mandiRg faction of the east are frantic
over the prospect of any kind of BIZ
metallism, and the south and west more
than make up in muscle and numbers
what they may lack in brains. The
eastern fellows have the backing Of the
administration, while the other fellows
are being spurred on by poverty. A
fair and square vote of the actual and
honestly elected delegates would show
about three to one of silver men Both
sides not only anticipate a split but ex
pect nothing else. Both sides are send
ing contesting delegations, but the
rumps and boilers on the gold side are
Gratis of Nebraska led off; those Of Hi
nOiS and other western states are fol-
lowing the example. So the Demo
cratic friends OF silver in South Dakota
have sent contesting delegation, and
other states viii do the same. Two
conventions will meet at Chicago. and
the only question is which faction will
succeed in organizing that which has
been formally called, and in establish
ing its formal claim TO speak for the
party.
That the gold standard party mean TO
seat their friends from every state,
without any regard 10 the regularity Of
their appointment. is frankly ayowed
in their newspapers. Their strength
in the national committee gives them
especial advantages for carrying out
this policy, and they mean 10 use these
advantages They are in such a panic
as 10 the result thar there is little doubt
OF them showing themselves 4 gold
party in more senses than one. The
free silver people, however, are equally
determined. and are equally ready 10
go apart They are Handicapped by
their poverty and the opposition OF the
administration. which secures every
mercenary delegate and every once
holder TO the gold standard faction

KANSAS o. K. CONNECTION.

The discussion recently opened up con-
corning the origin and meaning OF the
letters 20. k" has brought out the fact
that Kansas had something to do with
it. In 1S2S. when General Jackson was
president, General Wool was commander
at Fort Leavenworth. which had been
established SIX years before, in IS7. Gen
eraI )Wool sent special messenger all
the way from Fort Leavenworth 10 Wash
irgton, with some important papers.
which required the presidents approval
and signature. The journey had 10 be
made on horseback and was very tire
some, requiring four weeks each way.
Arriving at Washington, he found the
president in the kitchen, smoking a clay
pipe. After inspecting the documents
Jackson took a stub quill pen. and wrote
the characters 30. K.' at the bottom OF
each. The messenger returned. and pre-
scented the papers to General Wool, who
was astonished at finding nothing but two
meaningless letters attached TO the papers.
After swearing blue streak he ordered
the messenger TO again start on the same
journey, and TO stay until the papers were
signed. Arriving at Washing
ton. the messenger presented the papers
to the president a second time, whereupon
Jackson exclaimed: by the EternaIi 1
have signed them oncer' The messenger
admitted II, but wanted to know what the
letters meant. Smart young man. re-

BABES IN THE WOODS.

The Kansas City Times, as also the
Star, as Democratic organs, are leaders
left without anything to lead. Both
are for the single standard, and the
| Democracy in the only two states III
which they have any circulation have
gone Overwhelmingly for free silver
and a double standard. The Times
swallows its medicine and congratu-
| lates the Kansas Democracy in that IL
is still found standing up for the old
| Jeffersonian principles But the Stars
| veriform appendix couldn't stand the
strain and it is all doubled up with the
accutest kind of an attack of protests.
The latter paper declares that there is
no Democracy left in Kansas, or for
that matter it might have added, nor
of its stamp in Missouri The Star
means that ''the political machine OF
Missouri having violated every Demo
cratic tradition by striking down fund
amental principle, Kansas Democracy
blindly following, concluding that the
gods having maddened the combine
must now destroy it. The Star might
have emulated the example of the
Times and swallowed the dose but for
the neglect to indOrse Cleveland, than
whom, for the Star, there is no other
god worth worshipping How con-
ventiOn could indorSe Cleveland and at
the same time demand the rehabilita-
ton of the dollar of the daddies" that
slogan Of the Democratic party for so
many decades of the past, the Star does
not cOndescend to elucidate. Its only
wall is political vandalism" Ken
lucky, Kansas and Missouri constitutes
a beautiful trio, whose campaign but
ton, the Star suggests, ought TO bear
the image of yellow dog, with his tail
between his legs seeking q chance TO
crawl of the earth. The Star and
Times are not the only daily papers
having too much bank interest at their
backs to permit them TO harmonic
with western sentiment on the cur
rency question. A bank is poor place
for would-be independent newspaper
to deposit its stock, either as a collat-
eral or as evidence of proprietorship.

SHOOTING THEM DOWN.

The winter which Weyler failed 10
take advantage of is gone and a trop-
zeal summer with its accompanying
fevers is discriminating the ranks of the
Spanish troop. Even the London
Times, which more because of its hate
of America than from any love OF
Spain, is compelled to acknowledge
failure than Camp0S. 4 correspond
ent Of the Times, lately sent out after
careful estimate, diScredits nearly
everything claimed by Weyler and
even goes so FAR as 10 call the Weyler
administration of affairs child's play
ara says that il Is time to cast aside
his clumsy and puerile attempts to
throw dust in the eyes of the Spanish
people. This London CORRESPONDENT
acknowledges that Spain has lost her
hold upon Cuba everywhere except in
such spots As her soldiers are in camp.
and even ia such spots her hold upon
Cuba is disputed by rebels who seem
omnipresent throughout the Island.
This information given our by the
thunderer, which paper would thou
Sandfold rather see every inhabltant
of cuba crucifed than have Spain fail.
Is practically what the American press
has been stating al along. 1t IS CON
6rmation from al unexpected source.
That which most shocks the Ameri-
can people Is tile shooting 10 death IF
prisoners n traitors. In no revolution
with which Americans were concerned
were prisoners OF war ever shot as
traitors. In the first affair ~ THIS
kind. in which We were trying TO seceie
from England. the mother country did
NOT dare 10 execute prisoners unless
they happened to be- spies In the war
of 1871 The North captured many thou

never shot them as traitors. The pee

WILL REED ACCEPT,

PROFESSIONALLY Speaker Reed is a
sorely disappointed man. He has not
been Tom Reed of Maine during all
the present session of congress He
remarked of Quay the other day that
politics often made towards of good
men. Mr.. Speaker Reed probably had
no thought Of his own record foS the
past winter. His manager, Jos. II.
Manley seems also to have lost his wits
over the Mckinley boom. Somebody
told the newspaper world the other day
that Marley had written a letter in
which he admitted that Mr.. Reed was
out of the race for the first place, and
that Mr.. Reed would be willing to go
on the ticket with Major Mckinley as
the Republican candidate for vice pres
ident. Mr.. Manley did not like that.
and he has written letter to the news
papers in which he says that Mr.. Reed
will not accept the nomination for sec
ond place under any circumstances.
I'VE expect" says Mr.. Manley, ito
nominate him for president.
OF course Mr.. Manley does not ex-
pect anything Of the kind, that is unless
he is far less shrewd than he was when
he acted as the confidential adviser of
James G.. Blaine The Maine political
leader must know that the contest at
st. Louis is already settled, and that
nothing can prevent Mr.. McKinley's
nomination if he lives. We are sorry
that Mr.. Manley had declined the sec
ond place on the Republican ticket for
Mr.. Reed in such positive terms. The
Republicans Of the country want Mr..
Reed on the ticket While they are
determined to give the Ohio candidate
first place, they feel that the nomina-
ton of the speaker for vice president
would bring the two most eminent ac-
tive Republicans in the country TO the
front as leaders in the coming cam
paign, thus forming ticket that would
satisfy all classes.
But Mr.. ManIey may reconsider the
declination which he has given TO the
public for Mr.. Reed. If the speaker
finds that there is a universal demand
for his nomination for the vice presi-
dency he may consent to serve his
party in that way.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN PROPHECY
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
In your structures on the Democratic
party, in your today's issue.--how it has
stuck through together through the most
wonderful and contradictory ordeals that
has ever stained the pages Of national his
tory and yet remained true to its leaders,
permit me to venture q prediction as TO
the time of it's final dissolution. And
from the invincible and unconquerable
nature of its author and dictator /
prophesy it will continue to trouble the
nation, under different subterfdges, until
the time spoken OF by st. John, Revelation
goth, I, 2, verses: "And l saw an angel
come down from heaven, having the key
of the bottomless pit and a great chain
in his hand. And he laid hold on the
dragon, that old serpent, which is the
devil and Satan. and bound him a thou
sand years, and cast him into the bottom
less pit, and shut him up, and set a seal
upon him. that he should deceive the ma
tons no more, till the thousand years
should be fulfilled" Then the Democratic
party will suspend operations and give US
a rest. N
