A CRISIS IN sPA1N's AFFAIRS.

If the assassination of Senior Canovas
del Castillo. the Spanish premier, shall
result in the complete overthrow of the
existing government of Spain probably
no one will be surprised.
With the ruling powers rent by dis
sensions; with a Republican and a
Carlist faction, each ready to seize any
opportunity of gaining control; with
two colonial wars on her hands; with
disconnected people and a bankrupt
treasury the country is in no condition
to stand such a shock
That Spain is lettering cannot be de-
MED. That a total collapse can be
avoided is doubtful The civilized world
is shocked and Mortified at the manner
of Canovas' death, no more SO, however,
than it has been at the cruelties prac-
ticed in Cuba under the direction of the
officers of'the dead premier's appoint
ment.
The world unites in condemning an
archiSts and their methods and yet are
not both the natural outgrowth of such
systems and practices as are in vogue in
Spain and perhaps in varying degrees
in majority of the countries of conti-
mental Europe?
The recent attempts on the lives of
Humbert of Italy and President Faure
seem to have borne no lesson to the
rulers of Spain.
A London newspaper yesterday in
commenting on the killing of Canoyas
commends the circumstance to the at
tentiOn of Kaiser William Will he
heed it? The course pursued by the
car toward the nihilists is pointed out
as worthy of emulation but it is doubt
full if even he is safer than the rest.
though there has been an apparent sup
preston of nihiIiSn.
What can be done with a class of
people who evince the disregard for
their own lives that was shown by the
assassin Coli? Death has no terrors
for them and torture such as was prac-
ticed on the Barcelona anarchists only
serves to fan the flame of revenge in
the hearts of their fellows. Europe has
a problem to solve, which let US hope
viii never arise in this country.
The good to proceed from this partic-
ular i'll wind is probably the emancipa-
ton of Cuba

DRYLAKE TO BE FILLED.
Union Pacific to Increase Its Water
Supply by Making Large
Reservoir of the Basin.

Rawlins, Wyo., Aug. 1O.-The Union
Pacific railroad will begin work at once
for the reinforcement of it's present
Rawlins water supply. Bull canon, 8
miles southwest of town, will be turned
into what is known as Dry lake, a vast
basin in the hills, three miles out of
town. The basin is two miles wide by
four miles long and the water will have
an average depth of 40 feet From the
pany's yards and shops, 900 foot tun-
mel being an accessory.
The lake will also afford a much
needed watering place for any stock
held for railroad shipment, will annual
~ furnish vast quantities of commercial
ice; will develop a great fish planting
and shipping industry, and will be a
boating and garden resort replete with
summer pleasures for Rawlins citizens.

ANOTHER BIG TRUST.
Company That Proposes to Control
the Shipping of Cotton.

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-A special from
Washington says: The American Cot
ton company, which numbers among its
promoters two senators of the United
States, John E. Searles, of the sugar
trust, eX-Secretary of the Interior Day.
id r. Francis, Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas; Senator Vest of Missouri; Stuy-
vesant Fish, president of the Illinois
Central; Jerome Hill, of the Cotton
Belt, and others of note, is to be the
next big trust.
1t is formed to revolutionize the pres
ent system of bailing cotton. The fiat
form of bale that has been in vogue so
long is to be superseded by the cylin-
drical bale.
The patent of the latter is controlled
by the new company, of which John E.
Searles, of the sugar trust, is president.
The company has Sc, 000.0 600 of capital,
and is now at work building congresses
throughout the south. Reports from
the south received at the treasury show
that the new company is trying to be to
the cotton trade what the Standard Oil
is to the petroleum industry, and the
sugar trust is to the sugar trade. It
proposes to acquire control of the bust
ness of moving the cotton crop from the
plantation to the mill.

: Topeka is to have festival, carni-
val, of some character, this fall, big
jamboree, with no other aim or object
than unbridled, lax jocosity.-Marsh
Murdoch.
This is the first and only notice that
the Wichita Eagle has made of the
Fall Festival. 1t is great condescen-
sion that Col. Murdoch should mention
anything that Topeka is going to do.
We move that a special committee be
sent to invite Col Murdoch to come
and take part in our ''unbridIed lax
jocosity." Nobody but Col. Jeltz could
equal that.) If the colonel could once
attend Fall Festival he might change
his ideas about Topeka; but he doesn't
come here often enough to get to liking
us. Let him shake off 1.-The gleek of the
glimmering gloom to use his own Ian
guage and come up to Topeka this fall.
We will give him a good time the like
of which he never saw before; besides
everybody else will be here.

CONVERTED IN MEXICO.
Ex-Governor Crittender Returns an
Advocate Of Free Silver.

Kansas City, Aug. 10.-Ex-Gov. II T.
Crittenden, who for four years has rep
resented the United States government
at the City of Mexico as consul general,
and who was recently succeeded by
Mr.. Barlow of ST. Louis has reached his
home, accompanied by Mrs Crittenden
and is registered at the Midland.
Gov. Crittenden returns to Missouri
looking younger than when he left; he
also returns thorough free silver
man.
Silver is a great success in Mexico, %
said he, land despite the low price of
silver at the present time, Mexico is
very prosperous. Down there they sell
everything out of the country at gold
prices and raise everything with silver
as the money.
YOU never see gold in circulation
there, and yet the country is prosper
ing. 1 believe in silver as money
metal. Free silver in this country
would make the United States much
more prosperous than it is now. This
country will never prosper as 1T should
until silver is restored to it's old posi-
ton, just where it was before there
was ever a law passed against it.
LAS for the new tariff BILL he con-
tinued, lit is an outrage against the
people. It will almost entirely shut off
commerce between this country and
Mexico. Everything that Mexico sends
to the United States is taxed to death.
The people of Mexico look upon the
bill with the greatest suspicion; many
of them regard it as directly aimed at
Mexico, and it will drive almost all OF
their trade to Europe. The Mexicans
believe in trading with people who do
not discriminate against them. They
prefer to trade with England France
and Germany-particular England
rather than with the United States II,
however, the laws were favorable, the
United States would get almost the
entire trade of Mexico-at least 80 per
cent of it.
eff I had my way there would not be
a custom house on the Rio Grande. The
best thing that this country could do
would be to admit absolutely free or
duty all that Mexico has to send us;
or if not this, to at least establish rec
iprocal relations and admit free what
Mexico has to send US on condition that
that country would admit free what we
have to send it

SLAVERY CALIFORNIA.
Chinese Girls Held in Bondage-Ap
peal to be Sent to Mckinley.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 10.-Lead-
erS in Chinese mission work here are
circulating a petition to be sent TO
President Mckinley asking him to re-
to investigate the horrors of human
slavery that are perpetrated by those
who hold Chinese girls in bondage.
This petition, after reciting provis-
ions of the 18th amendment. declares
that there is now in San Francisco and
California a condition of"slavery under
which there are more than 1000 women
held in bondage. bought and sold as
chattels and kept in involuntary servi-
tude.
These slaves are scourged, beaten,
tortured and even killed by their own
ers in insolent defiance of laws. The
number of thse slaves is annually re-
cruited by importations from China, in
violation of the exclusion act. Workers
in Christian missions receive constant
appeals from these women, calling for
aid to escape, but it is difficult to af-
feet their escape, and those instrument
tai in this good work have recently
been threatened with death by traf-
hickers in human beings.
In this city it is estimated that 500
women and girls are held as slaves.
Most of these are inmates of diSorderly
houses, kept in close confinement IN
damp, unwholesome alleys, SO that the
mortality is excessive. Others are
slaves in families, but are liable at
any time to be sold into prostitution.
Throughout the state there are al leasI
200 more women, whom only death can
release from bondage. A constant
stream of recruits is coming in from
China to supply vacancies, created by
cruelty disease and death Recently
some aggravated cases of cruelty ana

neal to the president to stamp out the
vilest form of oriental slavery when
