within and without.
1t seem to me that it is the most
consummate exhibition of gall extant, to
assume that we who know him could
be considered so low down in morality
and Intelligence as to believe that
man of common sense. let alone a man
of dwellings intelligence and expert
ence, would openly approach a senator,
or anyone, with such a proposition as
set out by the senator from the south
west. 1t ali sounds very fine to hear
through the papers that so and so is a
man of undOubted Veracity and honor,
which is good enough until a man is
proven guilty; but it will take more
than the unsupported word of one man
and the insinuations of a few others to
make the fair-minded citizens of Kan
sas believe that LeWelling is boOdler.
As to the question of Veracity. the peO-
pie who know Lewelling will take his
word against any other mans word
and if those aspirants from the south
west discern any difference they can
find it perhaps in the aspirations of
some few men who live in the territory
of the man with the iron jaw.

kindness, for the purpose of showing
some of our over jealous brethren that
frmness and honest dealing is demand

have been entrusted to attend to our
business If that can't be done by our
present officers we viii try to get along
without their eminent services; and
this is the sentiment of many voters"

In some of the dispatches sent out from
Washington the statement is made that
the President in influenced by Senator
Hanna to appoint negroes postmasters in
the south. one dispatch quotes the senator
as saying that the opposition 10 negro
postmasters lis a mere matter of preju-
dice" Suppose it is mere matter of pref
udice, ought not the President to respect it
and take il into consideration in making
appointments? It is not the Presidents
duty to try 10 destroy a prejudice with
which he does not sympathize. 1t is his
duty to accept the situation as it is, and
andeavor TO satisfy the people he has
been chosen to serve.
The Hogansville affair appears to have
disturbed the republican leaders in Wash
ington greatly, and. if reports are to be
credited, the appointment of negro post
masters against the protests of the peo-
pie is not approved by them. 1t is al
legged that the putting of negroes in post
offices in the south will destroy any
chance the republicans may have of car
rying Maryland again, if persisted in. 1t
viii make it impossible to accomplish any
thing in the way of building up a white
republican party in the southern states.
Senator Bacon is quoted as saying that in
this state democrats who voted for Nc
Kinley have gone back TO the democratic
party since the President has made it clear
that his purpose is to fill the federal Of
fees with negroes.
Senator Hanna may succeed in convinc-
ing the President that the latter can con-
tinue filing the postoffices in the south
with negroes without doing his party any
harm, but the President win discover that
the senator is a bad adviser in this mat
ter

long-cued celestials presented their bits of
pasteboard to the ticket taker and slow

big platforms about the water space. AS

Being informed that the coupon entitled

in the direction of the chutes and soon

"Wantee glet out" one yelled 'Killee

the equilibrium of the others. Then the

Attorney General McKenna seeks to fol-
low the intention Of congress" in his
opinion constituting section p OF the new
tariff Iaw-the section which imposes a
discriminating duty upon goods coming
INTO this country from Canada under GER
tain conditions. The language Of the sec
ton, he says. is too vague to make it clear
that congress intended to change the pre-
yiously existing law as contained in the
revised statues as far as it affects i'm
ports through ocean ports or through con-
tiguous countries under consular seal.
it has been pretty clearly shown by in
tcryiews with and signed statements from
Chairman Dlng.ey, Senator Chandler and
other members of both houses of CON
sress that congress" had no intention"
whatever in the matter; that congress
knew nothing about It. Chairman Ding
ley was not able to explain the section to
the House after the conference. He made
some sort of a statement Nth regard to
st.; said it would make no change in the
old law. or something to that effect; but he
offered no elucldation of the amendments
which had been made Indeed, it trans
pired later that he knew nothing of the
changes. Senator Chandler dlsclaimed
al knowledge Of the revision. He hoped
his constituents would forgive him for
having let the revised section pass with
out an attempt to kill it, he said; but, he
added, he could never forgive himself for
his negligence. Numerous other mem
bers Of congress have confessed them
selves IN as dense ignorance of the sec
uon, and how it got into the bill as the
gentlemen referred to. It appears, there
fore that congress could not have had
any "intenTon' in doing a thing which it
did not know it was doing.
However, there is another view which
might be taken of the matter. 1t could
be- held that Senator Elkins is con
gress." 1t seems, according to an inter
view with him, published in the Wash
uston STAR that he knew about the
amended section. and had good deal to
DO with railroading 1t through during the
last hours of the session. lie had some
intention" in the matter, and he says it
was the purpose of the section to pace
discriminating duty upon everything"
which should be imported into this country
in any other than an American ship. The
amended section. he declared, was merely
a condensation of his bill to impose a 10
per cent. discriminating duty in FAVOR Of
American bottoms. which bill was con-
demned and killed by members of his own
party. If it is the intention" which makes
The law, as it is the intention which con-
stitutes the crime, and as nobody save
steve" Elkins appears 10 have had any
intention in the matter, then, logically
Elkins intention should govern; and his
purpose was to retaliate upon every for
eIgn maritime nation for daring to own
ships and sail them to the United States
with cargoes.

T'hc sultan CongratuIatod.

our dispatches yesterday stated that
peace between Turkey and Greece was Off
cially announced on Monday. The sui
tan has been congratulated by most of
the European sovereigns. Nobody seems
to extend a friendly hand to Greece. She
is not in a position to invite congratula-
lions. Her war with Turkey has left her
in a rather sad plight. She Is practic-
ally in the hands of receivers. While she
is stin an independent state she is indie
pendent only in name practically An
International commission has charge of
a large part of her revenues and manages
her obligations, which include the war in
demnity she has to pay And her bond
holders have been provided for-that is,
the earlier ones. Greece will he the slave
OF her creditors until she pays the war
indemnity and these bondholders.
It will be a good many years, therefore,
before she viii be able TO assume her old
place among the nations of Europe. In
the meantime Turkey is rejoicing, though
she was not permitted TO deal as harshly
with Greece rs she desired. IL win be
a long while before Greece viii be in a
position 70 asain disturb Turkeys peace.
Ii is a pity Greece was not better inform
ed about her own resources for carrying
on war before engaging in a conflict with
Turkey.
