Senator-elect Hanna writes the Re-
rLECToR thanking 1t for its review Of
his mortgage law ideas. He says;
my idea Of the two laws working
side by side is to protect the
debtor in case his creditors insist on
security for some old debt or claim
where he will give security. agree
with you that the rate under the two
mortgage laws would be as you say,
about per cent. At this time we are
all In the same boat and no choice,
with money not loaning at any rate

sas will not be drawn so closely as to
be Of serious damage to our people.
! look at this matter as business
proposition. What is good for you
should be good for me and we all love
Kansas. ! thank you for friendly
spirit shown"
II there are enough such men as
Mr.. Hanna in the legislature to inilu-
ence legislation it will be a good
thing for Kansas. Whether or not the
Populist party realizes 1t the biggest
trump card it could play would be the
adoption Of the Missouri trust deed
law. 1t wouldd more to win them a
good name abroad and at home than
any measure they have ever mention

Has BRYAN FORGOTTEN?

Mr.. Bryan's attempted interference
with the appointments Of Governor
Leedy is not exactly what was expect
ed from the Nebraska reformer. He
ought to understand the desirability
Of each state attending to its own To-
cal affairs. If we remember correctly
it was the prime principle Of the Chi
cago platform that not even the presi-
dent should presume to interfere even
though the citizens Of a state should
engage in riot and bloodshed Oand
make unsafe any attempted passage
through the commonwealth by trav-
elers. Upon this platform Mr.. Bryan
made his campaign and he covered 1t
knee deep with the flowers Of elo-
quence, SO to speak. Yet here is the
gentleman himself who is not only
not a president but lacked nearly
million votes Of it and is not likely to
get as near to it as that even again,
interfering with the government Of
Kansas by "endorsing" certain candi-
dates. Has Mr.. Bryan forgotten the
Chicago platform so soonP 1t might
be we'll for some Kansas statesman to
send him marked copy Of that inter-
esting document to refresh his mem

Brother Fleharty Cared For.

Ed Little is getting in his work but
not in Abilene's direction. Rev. Fle-
harty, the man who put Ed in nomin-
alton for congressman-at-large, has
been made executive clerk Of the gov.

cept drawing a good sized salary.
Mr.. Fleharty was an tissue" in an
Abilene church during the campaign.
He made speech here and wanted
also to preach on Sunday. Some of
the Republican members objected and
alleged that in his speech nominating
Little he used some profane language
and called up several witnesses who
claimed to have heard him do so. He
made writted statement in which he
denied it. For a time it looked as
though there would be clash at the
church door but finally both sides
cooled down and Mr.. Fleharty preach
ed. He has cloud hanging over him
in Pawnee county in which proceed
ing swere brought disbarring him from
the practice Of law The case is now
before the supreme court and in view
Of the complexion Of that tribunal af-

to the decision that will be given
and Brother Fleharty will fly high
again.

Many times people would like to

This can be done, even II the letter
has reached the postofilce at its desti-
nation. At every post-oiiice there
are what are called withdrawal
blanks" On application they will be
furnished and, when q deposit Is
made to cover the expense, the post
master will telegraph to the post
master at the letters destination ask
ing that 1t be promptly returned.
The applicant first signs this agree
ment; at is hereby agreed that, II
the letter returned Is returned to me,
! will protect you from any and all
claims made against you for such
action. And l herewith deposit s. to
cover all expenses incurred and will
deliver to you the envelope Of the

persons have made remittances to
fraudulent parties or irresponsible
firms, not learning their true charac-
ter until after the letter had gone,
and have succeeded in recalling them.

Rieht Kind Of Christianity.

The kind Of Christianity that
that prompted those farmers Of Hayes
township last Wednesday to gather
sick neighbor's corn is the kind that
counts. 1t reaches higher than many
Of the most charmingly worded pray
ers and is better passport to heaven
than many pretentious displays Of
goodness. The men who put in that
December day husking corn and their
good wives who transformed the sad
dened home into one Of cheer and
comfort exemplifed the truest nobil-
ity that this rugged old world can
present. They exemplifed the best
that is in them and gave another evil
dence Of the kindness that dwells in
Kansas hearts. While such men and
women make up our population moth
ing but good works can come from
the Sunfower state. We are proud to
record such deeds in Dickinson
county.

". h. Smith for Pension Agent.

The Fifth district has a candidate
for pension agent who will loom up
in large size before the appointment
is made. That is W. H. Smith OF
Marysville who made such telling
speeches in the campaign in Dickin-
son county. Indeed no one did more
effective work in this section than be.
Mr.. Smith has been an active and
prominent Republican all bis life, and
for the last thirty years has given his
time and money freely in behalf Of
his party. He has never been an
Office seeker, and has not importuned
bis friends for an endorsement every
time bis party won q victory. He
has been prominent in Grand Army
circles, and has always taken a deep
interest in the welfare OF the old
soldiers. He was sent as delegate-at-
large from this State to the national
emcampment last summer.
The citizens Of Marysville and
vicinity, who served in the Union
army during the war Of the rebellion,
met at the Grand Army hall Tuesday
evening. Without regard to political
utilization, they unanimously agreed
to recommend and urge the appoint
ment Of W. H. Smith Of Marysville as
United States pension agent at the
Topeka agency. Jno. A. Broughton,
Capt. John Brown and Capt. Frank
V. Shaw were appointed committee
men to represent the meeting and
were instructed to consult with Mr..
Smith and labor in very honorable
way to secure bis appointment. The
Fifth district will stand by him and
it need be no surprise II be wins.

"pkarsssicsl Standing Up."

/ The cool impudence with which the
Popslists are blaming the Republicans
for the food Of abuse against Kansas
which is now burdening the Eastern
press has never been paralleled, prob
ably, since the Pharisee went up into
the temple and thanked the Lord that
he was not as other men.
Among those most conspicuous for
their talk about "standing up for
Kansas" and most hypocritical in lay
ing the blame upon the Republicans
are Senator PETER, Ex-Governor Lewell-
ing and Jerry Simpson. Let us see
how they have stood up for Kansas
and the fair name Of her people. In
q speech In the United States senate
PETER "stood up" in the following
patriotic manner:
III Kansas was put up on the
auction block and sold at sheriff's
sale. she would not bring enough to
pay her debts"
In speech at Kansas City less than
three years ago Ex-Governor Lewelling
put his shoulder to the Kansas wheel
and gave her this most helpful lift: p
"Of every ten women seeking EN-.
ployment only one finds it, and the
other nine seek refuge with her whose
ways lay hold on hell"
And then comes Jerry Simpson,
who delivered the following uphold
ing sentiment in one Of his speeches
in congress:
"The men in my district are selling
their honor, the women their. virtue,
and children are begging for bread"
These are but hasty selections from
the myriad Of gross ISLANDERS about
Kansas which have been uttered by
these Populists who withamazing i'm
pudence are now blaming the Republic
cans for the malodorous reputation
which the state has gained abroad
through them, and solely through
them. TX. G. journal.

Better Luck Next Time.

The Lawrence journal takes little
stock in any mortgage law helping
the people Of Kansas who are already
in debt. 1t says that most Of the
troubles between the eastern invest
ors and western borrowers comes
failure Of the latter's crops to grow.
The owner Of the land thought times
would be better in the spring. "But
times were no better, and he didn't
pay out. He didn't even pay his in
terest. Then the eastern man raved
about 1t and said the western man
was dishonest. In many cases he
was but In a majority Of instances he
simply allowed his hope to get away
with his judgment and sense. He
couldn't pay II he wanted to. He
didn't raise any crops or cattle to
pay with. So he wanted to keep the
money another year and try it again.!
At the end Of the time things were no
better and the mortgage foreclosed.
That made the owner mad, Of course,
and he demanded stay law and re-
demption law and things. The owner
OF the treasure that had been buried
on the farm thought he was going to
be beaten out of his money by the
laws and he denounced the man who
got the money, the state the man
lived in and mathematical the laws
passed by that state. Both parties
are in the soup. No laws will help
them out. They will know better
next time" However, a wise change
in the mortgage laws will help them
to do better next time.

There is disposition on the part Of
certain Kansas papers to urge their
communities to sink wells in the hope
Of finding something underground.
If some valuable evidence attested be-
fore notary public is desired on this
it may be found in the case Of
Edminson VS.. the city Of Abilene,
which case grows out Of some digging
that Abilene once did. The best ad-
vice for towns that want to dig is:
Don't.

The Kansas City journal neatly
calls down the ignorant jay editors
who are sneering OF the "big news
papers, for exploiting the candidacy
of Appellate Judge Denrison for the
United States senate, by saying that
they ought to be informed that there
is considerable information drifting
around which they do not seem to
have acquired. They declare that
Judge Dennison cannot become sena-
tor because the constitution Of Kan
sas forbids a Judge accepting any
other office during the term for which
he is elected. The United States SEN
ate is sole Judge Of the qualification
Of its own members, and the constitu-
ton Of Kansas simply becomes a
laughing stock when it attempts to
say who shall or who shall not receive
that honor. II Judge Dennison can
secure votes enough he need not
worry about the Kansas constitution.

The kind of barbarism Of which
Spain is guilty calls for something
more than sitting around and express
ing sympathy. The United States
has always posed as a friend Of the
oppressed and down trodden and as
good an example Of this class can be
found in the Cubans as anywhere,
The United States owes 1t to the
cause Of humanity that the barbarism
being practiced on the island should
be stopped and at once too. Not
only are suffering and woe being
caused but there is a obstruction Of
property that means much to this
nation and the United States owes it
to its business interests to protect the
sugar production there and the
people who are so close to our shores.
The Spanish methods Of fighting
deserve no honor. The story of the
murder Of General Antonio Maceo
was at first received with incredulity.
Cuban news filtered through the
junta is far from reliable, and the
general appearance Of this report was
not unlike that Of a score OF others
that have been put out to excite the
people Of the United States. But
as one studies the circumstances OF
the death Of the revolutionary leader,
as published by the Spaniards, and
takes into account all the contradict
tions in the various reports, the i'm
preston grows irresistibly that Maceo
did not perish in battle, but was mis-
erably assassinated through the most
treacherous plot that ever disgraced
the warefare Of a civilized nation.
In late speech General Weyler
modestly says: ~ have only direct
ed; the army has done all" But is
that highly complimentary to the
armyp 1t has butchered old men,
defenseless women and children,
robbed their homes, captured aban-
doned camps and hospitals, and kill
ed the sick occupants; and last, has
violated all the rules held sacred in
war, and committed the crime of
assassination under flag Of truce.
Weyler denies doing such. 1.-The
army has done it ALI"
Let Uncle Sam call a halt, annex
Cuba and make the island prosperous
and happy. Spain will roar but no
nation on earth will endorse 1t and it
will count for nothing anyhow.

The Monitor walls over the rush to
the pie counter. 1t says: "Thous-

the greedier hotels Of Topeka while
endeavoring to obtain an office for
which they have no qualifications. :"
But If they write in about it the let
ter will 60 into the waste basket and

be blamed for patronizing the rail-
roads little to get it.
