WreaSury Empty.

L For the first time in the history
of Kansas the state treasury IS emp
ty and the state is paying 6per cent
interest on its obligations, Wonder
if the pops will issue bonds to pay
the running expenses of the state2
What has become of all the fnan-
ciers of the party? Why don't they
get up some resolutions2 How
about "percapiter'" Our friends
who seem to be long on schemes
seem to be short on business. They
made great big old talk about
how they were going to lower the
running expenses of the state and
now they are, as usual, unable to
make both ends meet and that too
when prosperity is seen and admit
ed on every hand; when taxes in
Kansas have been collected closer
than in any year since the state was
admitted into the union. Where
does the economical administration
come in? Here we have party
that wants to run the government
and yet it can't run one state, not
even Kansas, where we have money
to burn and banks are refusing to
take more deposits.

The city council meet in execu-
tive session Monday night. No one
knows just what they did, but it is
generally understood that the joint
question was discussed, at any rate
a number of alleged jointists seemed
to be out of a job Monday and it is
fair to presume they got a shaking
up. There is certainly plenty of
work for all who want work and
there is no excuse for a fellow to
run a dive because he is out of en-
ployment and can get nothing else
to do.

heart. Why7
himself But everything looked gloomy
to him. He was in gloomy frame OF mind.
It was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living In too much Of hurry.
rushing and driving at business hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge his stomach and
liver got out Of order; he grew dyspeptie
and melancholy.
When the digestion Is out Of order there
Is little use trying to look on the bright side
of things, practically there isn't any bright
aide This is a dangerous condition to get
into. Yet 4 is easy to get into and mighty
hard to get out Of it, unless you go about It
in the right way.
There Is a remedy that has pulled thou::

Too True.

When last week we foretold disaste,
to the Greeks in the war with Turkey
we did not apprehend that the several
mountain strongholds IN the Milouna
Pass and Larissa would be taken within
week. We believed that while Greece
alone against Turkey must eventually
be conquered, We had no idea that the
former was so i'll and the latter so we'll
prepared for war on the immediate
frontier. 1t now looks as though Tur-
key if not halted by an armistice pro-
posed and enforced by the other powers,
will within thirty days from the out
break of hobtilities, enforce a victor g
terms in the city of Athens.
One decisive victory gained by the
Greeks might be followed by an upris-
ing in the Balkan States tributary to
Turkey that would divert her attention
and relieve the pressure upon the Greek
army, but it is at best forlorn hope.
There is nothing that points to the
possibility of the war involving the
other great powers at present, save their
apparent anxiety to bring about ces-
sation of hostilities; this is evidently a
sincere desire and, as it can best be un.
derstood, because Greece at the mercy
of Turkey would bring about certain
complications from which it is not be-
lieyed that Europe could be extrlcated
without tallng.out among hands.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, APR 26rH, 1897.
The war on civil service rules seems
to have begun in dead earnest. Presi-
dent Mckinley has had long confer.
ence with the members Of the civil
service commission, and, while it can
not be officially stated that the confer
ence related to a modification Of the
extension of the rules made by Presi-
ident Cleveland, there are excellent
reasons for BELIEVING that it did, and
that President Mckinley has about
made up his mind to modify those rules
to considerable extent, on the general
ground that some of those extensions
are calculated to injure the government
service, rather than to help it. Two
members of the cabinet have taken
this stand in connection with the in.
vestigation now being conducted by
Senate sub committee composed of Sem
ators Pritchard, of N. G., Elkins, W.
Va. and Chiffon of Texas. Secretary
Wilson appeared before this sub-com-
mittee and advocated the exemption Of
the agents and inspectors of the Agri-
cultural department from the civil ser.
vice rules, because age and experience
were just as necessary as the technical
knowledge, to properly fill these places.
He cited an instance. He applied to
the civil service commisson for man
to fill special place, and the commits
sion sent hun boy % years old, who
had the technical knowledge to pass
the examination, but was entirely lack.
ing in the experience needed to perform
the work. He added that President
Harrison had left the Civil Service
Law in good condition, and that he
would like to see it restored. Secre.
tary Gage wrote a letter TO the sub.
committee, expressing the opinion that
modification. OF the civil service rules
might be made with advantage to the
public service, and especially recon.
mending that deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue should be exempted.
Representative Dorr, of W. Va. has
gone still further, by introducing bill
to repeal the civil service laws. 1t is
too early to predict how the war will
end, but the fighting is getting lively
all along the line.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who has
had some experience in the handling of
tariff bills in the Senate, says the Ding.
ley bill will not get through the Senate
before June 18th, and that it will take
nearly or quite month after that for
the House and the Senate to agree on
the amendments.
General Nelson A. Miles, Commander
of the Army, has at his own request
been ordered to proceed to Europe for
the purpose Of observing the military
movements in the war between Turkey
and Greece, and be will start as soon
as the necessary arrangements can be
made. probably next week, unless the
war is fought to u close before he can
get ready.
