THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE.

The fourth annual convention of the
Municipal League of Kansas, body
composed Of the officials Of all the first
class cities of the state, has been in ses-
sion at Leavenworth during two or
three days Of the past week. All the first
class cities were represented by their
mayors, fire marshals and other men,
bers Of the city councils. The object of
the league is for general consultation
once year touching all matters per-
tanning to the municipal interests of
cities of the first class and to make such
recommendations in the way of state
legislation as experience shall suggest
as wise and economical. Among other
things recommended at one of the ses-
sions the past week was the abolish
ment of the election commissioner,
place like many others in the state ere
ated for the sole behoof of political
strikers. Councilman j. NJ. Minick OF
Wichita introduced a resolution asking
the legislature TO repeal the metropolf
tan police law A councilman from
Karsas City opposed it, but it was pass
ed by an almost unanimous vote. The
league passed resolution. also, empow-
ering cites of $1,000 Inhabitants to pur-
chase and improve public parks. Much
other work of practical kind was done
in the way of making recommendations

HALsTEAD AT CANTON.

| The veteran newspaper writer. Murat
| Halstead, having made successful Pill
| grimage to the political Mecca of the
| continent returns to tell world of wait
| ing aspirants and ambitious patriots
| what he learned Halstead and Mckin-
| ley having been politically Intimate and
mutually trustful for quarter of cen
tury, the observations and conclusions
of Mr. Halstead become more than Ordi-
| nariIy interesting to politicians and en-
| tertaining to the reading public. He
first records the fact of some changes
in the personal appearance of the presi-
dent-elect. There is the same old kind
illness of manner and characteristic sin
certy of speech, however, but good
deal OF frost is settling in the dark hair
about the temples of the man who must
man the ships wheel and rudder few
weeks hence Otherwise he seems as
stalwart physically as he is known to be
politically.
On public matters the ex-marshal is
somewhat more chary of what he says.
However. he finds ii the consensus of
Canton opinion that there will be an ex-
ira session of congress and that it will
be convened Immediately after the 4th
of March. The country must know
what there is to be in the way of new
tariff policy. The longer this knowledge
is postponed the more will the present
unsatisfactory conditions be intensified.
If tie matter were left to go over till the
next regular session the Mckinley ad-
ministration would be half served out
before any beneficial results of protec
ton could be realized, and the with
holding of which night reverse the con-
gress Of two years hence, because of
unsatisfactory conditions. He says
that the people want whatever good
there is to be had of the victory so re-
Gently won. This is not only Canton
opinion but Republican conviction.
That interesting individual factor,
Mark Hanna, is mentioned in connec
tion with cabinet position, also as
Sherman's possible successor in the SEN
ate in the event Of Sherman going into
the cabinet. The intimation is that
Hanna is not ambitious for a cabinet
position, but that should he have his
choice, he would name the navy.
Mr.. Mckinley he finds to be nrm
believer in the merit system rather than
in that of spoils. However, it is evident
that he has not failed to notice that the
present incumbent has well nigh cor
rallied everything under the civil service
act in way which means "life tenure"
for all the Democrats who have been
given place as well as hopelessness for
the hordes Of Republicans who have
been dismissed upon complaint.
That Major Mckinley will have
great deal of influence with the incom-
ing administration Mr.. Halstead con-
fesses that there is not the least doubt.
