A KANSAS SCHEME.

People have come to look to Kansas
for novelties in legislation, and when
they look they rarely meet with dis
appointments. 1t is in dealing with
the most intricate problems that the
greatest novelties are produced, ques-
tions of finance having peculiar fas-
cination for Kansas legislators This
fascination has led to the introduction
in the legislature of a measure for the
issuance Of state treasury notes to pay
for the employment or otherwise idle
labor by towns and townships
The measure is to provide that the
governor shall have Autograph plates
made. with which to print on silk or
linen paper circulating notes for 81,
81, SO and IS, to bear 1 per cent interest,
principal and interest to be payable
at maturity at the state treasurer's
office. the notes to be exempt from
taxation. and the governor to be en-
powered to call to his assistance an
official TO be designated the state loan
commissioner" under a four years
appointment, at s. a day and expenses
while at work. By the provisions, the
commissioner is to visit counties where
loans are contemplated. and the county
commissioners are to receive the notes
in sums not to exceed per cent of the
county valuation. The notes, having
been. signed by the commissioner and
by the county commits
sioners, win become promissory notes,
and are to be apportioned among the

A BAD CASE OF JINGOISM.

Senator John L. Wilson of Washing
ton state, writes the New York Journal
as follows about the search of two Gu
ban women. by Spanish officials, on the
steamer Olivette:
The outrageous search of those two
Cuban women should be investigated
at once by the state department. An
indemnity should also be demanded.
The American flag should protect all
passengers on an American ship.
I am an anneXationist, boldly and
above board 1 would have Cuba if
1 could. In fact, think we should an
mex in some way or other all the coun-
tries on this hemisphere. Go up even
and take Greenland, with all her ice
Send the other fellows back across the
water where they belong. War is a
terrible thing, but I do not know but
it is a good thing. All the territory we
have acquired has come through war
in some shape or other, and the re-
public has broadened and strengthened.
1 would purchase when we could, but
1 would get hold of all the islands
owned by European powers some way
or other.
l think a warship should have been
sent to Havana at the outbreak of the
insurrection, not to intimidate, but to
guard American interests. We need
one there now. and should have II.
Such an outrage as this should not
pass unnoticed or unpublished. We will
hear of trouble with Spain yet.
The senator from Washington, it is
painfully evident, is suffering from a
severe attack of jingoism. So severe is
the attack that he seems to have en-
tirely forgotten to lug in anything
about the Monroe doctrine. This is
almost objectionable. particularly in
view of the very large task that Sen
ator Wilson would have this country
undertake.
He would annex Cuba if he could.
Apparently it would make not the
slightest difference to him that Cuba
might object. The Cubans desire in
dependence, not annexation. Senator
Wilson would annex them willv-nilly.
Sending the other fellows across the
water is a verv easy thing to say,
most difficult thing TO do.
Such talk as this of Senator VIII
sons is foolish in the extreme. 1t
tends to put the nation in a false light,
and it gives us a reputation for disre-
gard of the rights of other nations,
when they are just as sacred as our
own 1t alienates sympathy and kind
feelings and does nothing but harm.
That it does not represent the true
feelings of the American people cannot
be known to foreign governments.

Why should you care to be awaked to

WOOL AND WooLENS.

Under the above heading the New
York Commercial Advertiser says:
The duties on wool and woolens will
form one of the most important sched-
ules of the new tariff, and the ways
and means committee should study
the subjects in all it's details before it
finally fixes the rates. In this section,
as in every other, the only safe prin-
ciple is that of moderation and fair
ness. The spokesman of the National
Wool Growers association, headed by
Judge Lawrence, have demanded vir-
tually prohibitory duties on foreign
WOOL This demand is indefensible on
grounds of public policy. Congress
cannot afford to yield to it or to give
it an instants favorable consideration.
American farmers have a clear right
to an equitable measure of protection
for their wool. But protection does
not mean the erection of an impossible
barrier against foreign products. The
pressing need of the treasury for
revenue and the Importance of provid-
ing for an adequate supply of cheap
and comfortable clothing for the peo-
pie must be kept in mind by the tariff
builders.
1.-The wooden manufacturers have
proposed rates of duty from cents per
pound upward on imported woods. The
Mckinley duty was IL cents and up
ward, which is a higher rate than is
now necessary. 1t may be advisable
for the ways and means committee to
increase slightly the figures which the
manufacturers regard as a desirable
duty on their raw material; but GER
tainly there can be no excuse for rails
ing the rates to the level of the act
of 1890. Trade and agricultural condi-
tions have undergone sweeping changes
in the past seven years. Duties which
were entirely justifiable when the Nc
Kinley law was passed would in many
instances be arbitrary and oppressive
at the present day. And this, the
wooden manufacturers should remem-
Der, applies equally TO the finished
goods which they produce and to the
wool grown en- the backs of American
sheep. Exorbitant duties on wooden
clothing would be as unjust and fool
iSh as eXorbltant duties on the wool
itself In both cases the men who
frame the tariff must resolutely resist
all appeals to raise rates above the
point of justice and moderation"
Such talk as that must be looked
upon as rank heresy by stalwart Re-
publicans. To think that Republican
paper would admit that any demand
by the wool growers and the wooden
manufacturers could be indefensible is
one of the most remarkable as well as
one of the most promising signs of
the times. It does one good to see a
condemnation of the Mckinley duties
from Republican source. What is
the country coming to when a Re-
publican paper demands that those

towns and townships. 1t is contem-
plated that the notes shall run ten
years, and that interest shall cease at
maturity. For REDEMPTION, the state
board, simultaneously with levying
state taxes, shall assess the counties
sufficiently to redeem the notes, but no
greater levy than Il per cent shall be
made II env year. and the treasurer
may redeem any notes before maturity
by giving six months notice in any
official state paper, interest to cease
at the expiration of that period, or the
treasurer may, in his discretion re-
deem any notes on presentation before
maturity, and hold them as cash in
the treasury. If the bill shall be en-
acted, townships or towns shall use
the notes at not less than $1.25 a day
for otherwise idle labor employment on
roads, streets or public works. The
notes are to be received at par for
taxes and for official salaries, and may
be retained up to 80 per cent in the re-
serve funds of corporations required
80 maintain such funds. Recording by
the state auditor is to be required.
The penalty for discounting the notes
is to be a fine between $50 and $500
for each offense. and not less than 60
days in Jail.
1t is utopian scheme in many re-
spects. The imposition of fine for
discounting the notes would prove flu
tile; they would have to pass current
at their market value or not pass at
all, probably the latter. How wild and
visionary men become when they I'M

THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI EXPO.
SITION.

The delegation representing the
Trans Mississippi and International
exposition is expected to arrive IN this
city today. The mission of the delega-
ton, which is making a tour of the
states expected to take part in the
exposition, is to awaken public interest
in the undertaking, and particularly to
make such a showing to the state leg
islatures which are in session as will
induce those bodies to make appro-
priations sufficiently liberal to enable
the various states to be worthily rep
resented.
The mississippi region is ir
itself a vast empire in extent and
wealth of natural resources to the
world comparatively unknown. 1t is
only necessary that people be informed
of the resources and possibilities of
these regions to cause the influx of
population and capital which is so de-
sirable. Utah's mineral wealth, manu-
features and agriculture should be
fittinglX presented at the exposition
next year. She should not be outdone
in this regard by any of her sister
trans Mississippi states. The subject
should and will have the careful con-
sideration of the legislature and of all
the people. who will see to it that the
state is represented as it should be.
Meantime the delegates from Omaha
will be made welcome. Their mission
will be given that consideration that
its Importance demands. for the legis-
lature, as well as the people of the
state, is in full sympathy with the
scheme of the trans Mississippi expo
