READ YOUR BIBLE.

In the hour of defeat, or loss, or IN
usual sorrow there is no better consola-
ton. no fountain of philosophy deeper
or greater than the Bible. There is
more in Job of the mutations of human
affairs, more in Isaiah in the way OF
solid reflection and immutable deduc-
ton than can be found in the columns
of any modern print, whether book or
newspaper If there was ever time ID
the history of Kansas, whose founda-
lions were laid in freedom, but whose
motto sets forth the uphill chances OF
the state, when its people should, more
than at any other, take to the Bible,
that time is now. 1t is not that Grimes
was beaten for county commissioner, OF
Dawes defeated, or that the Bible stu
dent, Jerry Botkin, who declared that
he would rather live in he'll than in
Wichita, received a majority OF the
votes of the people whose town he so
thoroughly despises, that we urge re-
turn to the Bible which commends the
man who turns the other cheek, but on
general principles. There is too much
of general cussedness rampant in the
land, which no partisanship can cure.
which politics only strengthens and in
tensifies. We do not expect the people
tc pray. Prayers could not reach the
desperate character of many of the
cases we wot of 1t is only for the gen.
orally benign influences of such a read
ing, for the calm of reflection that such
u research would afford. There is a to-
tai want of exalted ideas in public life,
an utter want of the simplicity as well
as the sublimity TO be found in the
pages of the Bible aside from its moral
and religious instruction. There are a
hundred thousand fellows in Kansas
and in the territory adjoining who sadly
need the animating, inspiring and noble
spirit which is breathed out in every
page of the Bible, as they need less of
the headline rooster and of the down.
right degradation Of the columns of the
political organ. Worldly craft is not
worldly wisdom, neither is political
preaching prophecy. Not by long shot.

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

The Democrats are growing very So
licitous about the treasury balance. 1t
is not the first time. During Cleveland 5
first term they were troubled with sur
plus. Since then anc during his pres
ent administration they have been Wor-
ryin. with a deficit. Up to this date
the popular hotlon among them was
that no gold balance was necessary.
They have denounced Cleveland for issu
ing bonds to keep it up. They have IN
sisted that he was making a new debt
simply to maintain an idea, and that a
fiimsy one. They have said the faith OF
the government was good enough 10
back all her obligations and that the
treasury balance was myth. but now,
since McKinley's election they have dis
covered that 1OO.OOO.00O gold dollars
must be in sight They go further,
with the gratuitous plea that there Is
no way on earth to maintain it than by
the same process adopted by their own
man. That is to issue bonds. Even II
they are right, this seems premature
Not until March 1897, will Mr.. Nc
Kinley and his party have that question
to face. That he will be equal to the
great emergency there is no doubt, and
we are inclined to hazard the opinion
that this balance will be kept up with
out a further issue Of bonds.
1t is the old habit of advising Repub-
licans how to run the government.
Quite naturally they take up where they
left off nearly four years ago. Good
form would suggest, however, that they
wait until the emergency is upon US.
The revenues growing out of the large
ly increased importations of goods may
save our balance, and we think 1t will.
If our Democratic friends will cease to
fret we will wait and see.

CUBA,S CHANCE.

There is an evident uneaSineSS in
McKinley's election. The Republican
party sympathizes with Cuba and the
country generally has grown impatient
over Cleveland's dilly-dallying policy.
All Europe anticipates that Mckinley
will be a cross between Grant and Har-
rison in his foreign policy. 1t will be
vigorous policy which will brook no
shystering. Belligerent rights, for one
thing, viii be promptly accorded the
Cubans This means their independ-
enee. Had Cleveland extended such a
recognition the whole trouble would
have ceased months ago ana Spain
would have been saved thousands OF
lives and millions of money.

He was but consul without any of the

with the government of the Spanish
captain Senealancy have been marked
by mutual courtesy, and when occasion
required, as in the case of the Compeji-
tor. he has asserted the rights of the
Americans with infiexible firmness.

THAT BLANKET BALLOT.

The Eagle, in its yesterday morning S
issue. criticised the blanket ballot and
| the law which prescribes its dimensions
and makeup. The local and state Re
publican tickets lost hundreds Of votes
| in this county because Of the unwieldy
ticket. Voters started in to vote with
a clear understanding Of what they de-
sired. but became confused in attempt
ing to properly "sawbuck'' their ballots.
But for that ballot, in connection with
the free silver sentiment element III the
Republican party, the legislature might
have been saved and two or three more
congressman. In voting for Bryan and
his electors the free silver Republicans
lust continued on down the line be-
cause they did not know how TO safely
cross over to the local ticket, which ne
really preferred. We are pleased to note
that some ether editors are our way or
thinking. The Lawrence Journal says
that the australian ballot is nuls-
ance second only TO Populist admin
istration. Let us have some way OF yot-
ing that will not drive the voter crazy
and make him vote for men he does not
want" And what does it profit Kan
sas if she gain Mckinley and loses her
own credit" The Leavenw0rth Times
also denounces the ballot, saying that 1t
is too slow and unwieldy. The Times
concludes by saying: 1T is probable
many voters yesterday missed their
votes either because they made some
mistake in marking, or because they
were unable to wait long enough at the
polls. The process was too tedious. And
now that it is over, how hong will the
country have TO wait before the accur-
ate returns come in? The Australian
ballot law in Kansas, if it is retained,
should be amended in one most I'M
portant respect. There should be pro-
vided a means of voting the straight
ticket by one single mark on the ballot.
The plan Of putting the X in circle at
the head of the ticket is found satsfac-
tory in states where it is used.

Pittsburg firm lights up its fires and no.
titles its employees that work is to begin
at once. This means getting out the
pay roll. 1t means steady employment
for the heads Of families. 1t means
table supplies, fuel and warm clothing
for the winter. 1t means the circulation
of money which the proprietors either
have on hand or choose TO borrow to
run their business. Here is a practical
relief. 1t is by so much an imitation of
the currency, and in way that in
wolves no experiment. This firm, no
doubt has orders for goods to be ship

UP THE NILE AGAIN.

England desires very greatly to con-
time he- march up the Nile. but she
wants to make the march at Egypt's
expense. But for the possibilities OF the
Nile expedition and the practical logical
deminancy of the African continent by
a march which would be much like our
own "from Atlanta to the sea-, England
would have taken the Sultan Of Turkey
in hand months since. There can only
be one object for an increase OF the
Egyptian military estimates for the
coming year by f64, 600, as proposed by
Sir Herbert Kitchener, the English Sir
dar of the khedive's army-namely an
early renewal of the military advance
along the Nile until Berber. khartoum
and the whole eastern Sondan shall
have been wrested from the Mahdists.
The Egyptian military budget. however
has already been increased beyond the
limit permitted by the international con
yention of 1855, and protest may be
expected from the powers-certainly
from France. and probably from Rus
STA, whose objection TO the application
of the Egyptian reserve fund to the
purposes of the Soudan campaign mas
thus far been successful. In that event
the expedition would either have to be
abandoned or carried on with money
provided from the British treasury. The
latter alternative would morally
strengthen the claim of Great Britain
to the rightfulness of her occupation OF
Egypt to such a degree that France
would defeat her own ends by forcing
its adoption. Lord Charles Beresford $
open advocacy of the annexation or
Egypt is premonition of what may be
expected if the French policy OF futile
yexatiousness shall be continued
But affairs in Turkey are no nearer
satisfactory solution. English people
believe with Gladstone that the thing to
do is to wipe out the assassin and his
rule with or without the consent of
Russia, while the governmental heads
of England are afraid to even discuss
such a policy, which might bring on
war involving all Europe. In the mean
time the Sultan. while growing more
arrogant and reckless, is strengthening
his army.
The reply of the Porte TO the protest

General Frank c. Armstrong, who Is
now at the head of the Dawes commits
sion, is authority for the statement that
the work of that body has been making
unusual progress recently and that the
Indians Of all of the five civilized tribes
now show a disposition to negotiate.
having come to understand that the
commission is not trying to rob them
of their lands, but rather to protect the
fuIl-blOods from the bad government OF
some of their own people of lighter col
or. The Creeke and the Choctaws have
even appointed committees to meet the
commission and discuss plarS for re-
organization of the legal system OF the
territory. The recent Choctaw election
was a triumph for this issue. Chief
Bushyhead, who is at the head OF the
Creek committee, is said to have an
nounced his desire to change the whole
system in the territory from an oligar-
chy to a majority rule; and in the ma
iority to include, of course, all the fuli-
bloods, who have hitherto been kept to
a large extent out Of politics.
However, General Armstrong is quot
ed as stating it to be no present part OF
the plan of the commission in any way
to remodel the territory, except SO far as
TO insure the full enjoyment by all clti-
zens Of all their rights. 1t is not even
proposed to interfere with the tribal
government until the Indians them
selves shall show disposition in that di
rection. This is perhaps the more feast
Bile process to adopt, as the Indian mind
accepts reform slowly. But eventually
the tribal system must be abolished, as
four independent soyereignties now
dwell within the boundaries OF the
Union.
