A change in the Spanish cabinet has
resulted in a change in the policy toward
Cuba. Weyler's recall is the first step.

HIawatha Democrat: Early in the
seventies an alias execution was sent
from Brown county to the Sheriff Of
PottawatOmie county to serve upon one
John Brown. A few days later it came
back with the following unique return:
John Browns body lies mOuldering in
the grave, and his soul goes marching
on, but / don't know where That re-
turn ought to be forwarded to the State

Bank Commissioner John Breidenthal

Regent Noe, of the Agricultural Col
lege, recently published statement in
his paper, the Leon Indicator, in which
it was stated that Professor Smith, who
had been elected to the chair of history
and political economy, had declined be-
cause his predecessor had been removed
for political reasons. The Board Of Re-
gents deny the charge and state that
Professor Smith did not come because
another institution offered him a more
remuneratlVe place which he accepted
because the character of the work he
would handle would be more nearly in
his chosen line.

POpulists Save Taxpayers Money,

The Populists have been in control of
Harper county for five years and have
made record which is a splendid one.
During the previous five years the Re-
publicans ran the county at total ex-
pense of $190,673, and average of $685. ,134
per year. The last five years of POpulist
administration has cost $152,578, an av-
erage Of $SO,413 per year. During these
years the POpulists have bought and paid
for the poor farm, the poor house, and
built fully as many bridges as their pre-
decessors did in the previous five years.
In 1887 the Republican expense account
reached $51 ,305, and in 1896 the Populists
only spent $22,426--less than half as
much. This record is being made, not
in one county, but in every county where
Popuhsts have had control long enough
to give time for their efforts to bring
results. If this is the sort OF way in
which people want public affairs con-
Quoted every Populist ticket in the State
should be elected this year,

EX-President Harrison, referring to
the contest over municipal ownership Of
public franchises in New York, is quoted
in the World as saying: "Of special i'm
portanCe are the safeguards to be thrown
about the granting of franchises to the
promoters Of great schemes for the pub
lie service. In this respect there are
valuable lessons to be learned from late
foreign experiments. Some of the prin-
Cipal cities of Scotland have assumed
each the control Of its street railway
systems and in it's lighting plants, as
well as its WaterWOrks. The results Of
this public ownership of great public
enterprises have been exceedingly salts
factory and instructive. am inclined to
consider municipal ownership as the best
means to secure the people the cheapest
and best service. OF course, the effects
of competition between private enter
prises are not to be lost sight of as far
as they increase quality and lower price.
But the usual methods Of selling fran
chises outright or in receiving for them
royalty seldom give to the people more
than a tithe of what the people them
selves later return. The bigger the price,
the larger the royalty-the greater the
cost of a ride or of a gas jet. It is a spe-
cies of tax"

All is Well at the Reformatorv.

Republican papers have lately printed
extended stories about dissensiOn among
the officers and employees of the Hutchin-
son Reformatory. They predict a lot of
charges and sensational developments.
Superintendent Case writes that there is
absolutely nothing in the stories and
that he is willing to stand on his record
and that of his employees compared with

prospects to. have the real state of
affairs shown up. They brought in a
minority report which essays to take
off little of the curse, but it won't
work. The other three members went
extensively into the investigation and
show that out of the $4,000 year
paid for printing fully $780, of it is
an overplus profit that the printer is
not entitled to, and that the binder
makes nearly as much by reason of
evading the law and using bogus ma
