PARTIES IN SPAIN.

IL must not be understood that the death
OF the prime minister Canovas gives
directly any encouragement TO republi-
canism in Spain.
The situation in that country as be-
tween the two leading PARTIES is not dis
similar from whit il is in England for
instance. Sagasta, the liberal leader, quite
as much rs Canovas has always stood for
the monarchy and the two statesmen
were accustomed to exchange places fire.
quently at the head of government under
the queen by mutual agreement, as rep
resentLng fluctuations in party success
which, however, had nothing TO do with
tho Republican movement. Indeed the
two statesmen ana their parties were
united In opposition to that movement
quite as much as Disreali and Gladstone
would have been when they used to alter
nate with their respective parties in con-
troll of the government of Great Britain.
Indirectly however. there is hope for the
Republicans if they are in SHAPE TO take
advantage of a crisis which results from
the removal OF the strW gest man in
spain. man who ruled throne and peo-
pie alike. The monarchy is weakened by
the fall of Canoyas since none OF its other
supporters is so powerful.
And there is surely hone FOR Cuba since
the will of the late prime minister was
the most imposing obstacle to what seems
to be growing sentiment in Spain, il
not outspoken, that the government is
getting to the end of its rope in its des-
peration to hold to the colony And this
sentiment seems to have n foothold in all
political parties.

Topeka, Exam, Aug l0.-The long
threatened clash between the United
states courts and the state authorities of
Kansas came yesterday. when Attorney
General Boyle. acting upon the advice OF
the state administration, took action in
the state courts in open defiance of the
federal authorities.
This action is the outcome of an njunc-
tion issued on July 90 last by United
States District Judge Williams of Arkan-
sas, by which he positively enjoined
state Insurance Commissioner McNeal
and Attorney General Boyle of kansas
from bringing any proceedings whatevor
under the state laws to preyent the
Mutual Life Insurance Company from
doing business in Kansas. Attorney
General Boyle yesterday went before the
State Supreme Court bringing proceed
ings iu quo warranto against the Mutual
Life Insurance Company To compel that
corporation To appesr before the State
supreme Court ana show ny what author
ity IL Is trans loting' business In Kansas
Mr.. Boyle having done just what the
Injunction of Judge Williams forbade
him doing, the presumption is that the
federal judge will cause his arrest and
imprisonment for contempt.
In this event application for writ OF
habeas corpus will be made at once to the
United States Supreme Court, and in
such proceeding the attorney general
Would have the support of the entire state
administration.
Gov. Leedy has declared that the issue
has been made and that the matter must
be- fought to q termination.

ANOTHER SHOT.

Desn wayland follows Congressman
Walker in firing shot at the forlorn
protest Of the "a Brown professors in the
matter Of the martyred college president.
This is. Of course. in the form of an
"open letter., following tho example of
the "a professors in forwarding personal
biiles doux through the media of press
and pamphlet
The letter deals with the fallacy Of free
coinage and tho delusion Of the sort of
Independence claimed on behalf of the
martyr college president by the "a pro-
fessors.
Ii bears hopeful suggestion that
President Andrews If he will only look
at the thing in proper light. might be
expected to withdraw his resignation.
And it demonstrates again that the
subject is an attractive one for excursions
into the field Of open letter writing.

Canovas was killed on a Sunday. 1t
was on Sunday too that President Carnot
OF France was assassinated and that
President Faure was recently attacked
IL was on Sunday, March IL fssf. that
Gar Alexandra H. OF Russia was killed
with dynamite. The two attempts that
have been made on the life of Hum bert of
Italy were on Sunday.
