FRIENDLY RELATIONS PROBABLE

Washington. oct. 9.-The president
lad hoped TO secure reply to his repre-
sentations 10 Spain during the present
month, but il was stated at the cabinet
meeting yesterday that the Spanish cab

In this matter. There was more or less
speculation on the part of members as to
what would be the temper and character
OF the reply when IL should be received,
and the opinion was general that the
new ministry would manifest desire
TO cultivate friendly relations with this
country. The desire OF the administra-
ton appeared 10 be TO meet these ad-

Good things from the Star and KanSan.

The same men who were telling you last fall
how the mills would start up, and the sun OF
prosperity blaze forth as soon as McKnley's
election was announced, are now busy explain
ing what slow business the return OF good
times must be in any event. and that we must
never again expect to see anything like the
boom Of a few years ago.
Suppose that the postoffice was now being run
as private enterprise by some corporation, and
a proposi:ion were made to natonaze it, and
run it in the interest of the whole people.
Wouldn't there howl go up about the crazy
plans of the socialists And shouldn't we be
hearing lots about how much better business
like that could be managed by individuals than
by the government!
One of the excellent bills that failed to be-
come laws was Senator Caldweli's, providing
for the appointment OF all assistant county
clerk of opposite politics to the incumbent to
aid IN canvassing the votes. The election
boards i'll townships and precincts are made
non bipartisan by providing for representatives of
two or more parties. There ust as strong
reasons why the board of official canvassers
should also be made -partisan-or rather BIZ
partisan.
No wond, there is deficit in the postal rev.
enues., The postoffce department. pays Van
derbilt's railroad $4,000 a mile to carry the
mail between New York and Buffalo. This
alone would pay five per cent interest on val
uation of $6o,ooo mile. And then it pays
81 900 900 year more to rent postal cars than
if would cost to own them. With such leaks
as these staring them in the face, the last con-
press tried to cure the deficiency by putting
up the postage on newspapers and magazines !

We merely mention this matter to show the
part Steinberger and his friends took in the
matter. Couch was not Populist, and never
had been-and they knew it.
1t was this which caused many Peoples par
ty men to crticise the middle -ot the roaders"
and they cannot be severely censured.
We regret the existing condition of affairs,
for, unless this pickering and scolding ceases,
the Peoples party, as national organization,
is doomed The principles for which the Peo-
ple's party was born will still live, however,
and they will triumph whether the Peoples
party lives or dies. If these chickering's cease,
and the true reformers get together, the pres
eut organization will be able to defeat the mon
ey power and free the people from financial
bondage.

WHAT OF THE FUTURE =?

We were preparing to put in type an editorial
on the above subject, but, on looking over Sen
ator Youngs paper, the Star and Kansan, we
found an article taken from the Nevada (Mo.)
Director, which contains our ideas on the sub
iect, to dot, so far as it goes. Heie is the ar
tce:
"Up to the present time we have been silent
concerning the quarrel between the middle-of-
road Populists and the so-called fusionists, but
now we speak, lest our silence be construed to
mean cowardice.
"In the first place, neither the editor nor the
manager Of this paper is member OF either
the "Natona" or the "Union' branch of the
Reform Press Association. 1t has not been
convenient for us to connect ourselves with any
thing of that sort; that's all.
''1he editor of this paper prefers to exercise
his own honest Judgment as to The Directors
political course, and the manager is another
chap of the same sort The country is almost
at the mercy of the money power, and we are
fighting OH skirmish line which, like the line
of more decisive battle, is constantly shifting.
"We know where we are at to-day it is
not exactly the position occupied yesterday,
and, probably, it is not the place where we
shall stand tomorrow. But our weapons and
our ammunition will not change in quality;
they will be kept dry-frst, last and all the
time We shall keep up the skirlnish fire of a
campaign of education
''We do not desire to take short road to sue
cess at the sacrifice of principle, but we cannot
forget a lesson we learned while in our country's
service AS an artlleryman we witnessed the
last great infantry charge of the civil war at
Blakely, Ala There we learned the untrust-
worthincss of the old proverb, The longest
way round is the shortest way home We no.

in the same direction, KEEP. i'll line as much as
possible.
ave do not agree with some Popuists that
the great work to be done in 1898 is to stamp

of stamping out fusion now and forever, but

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP IN SIGHT,
And the People Rejoice.
NO. A..

The recent decision of the supreme court in
the case of the Trans Missouri Traffic Associa-
ton has stirred up the railway managers, and
they are very angry, some of them using very
'anarchistic" language regarding the supreme
court When we say "anarchistic," we use
the term applied by these same men and their
followers to Popuists and others who, in the
past have criticised the courts.
The following press dispatch from New York
gives Depew's views of the decisions:
81 am inclined to think that, in view of the
large interests involved, and the existence of
all emergency of an extraordinary character,
the supreme court will advance our joint traffic
case a New York case and l look for an ear
ly decision in our favor If we lose, we will
have to appeal to congress for some provision
that will give relief.
81 look for rate war, with the most serious
results, as the consequence of the supreme
court decision, and then, if the court decides
against our association, the greatest rate war of
the age will be the result.
eff universal rate war is brought on be-
cause it is unlawful for the railroads to have an
there will be no return to prosperity, because
an amount of investment three times greater
than the national debt cannot be imperiled
without credit and confidence being hopelessly
impaired and another reason, that while local
ity after locality on line will be dried up,
locality after locality on another line will be
feverishly stimulated, to be in turn bankrupted."
Mr. Depew could not say what effect the de-
cison will have OH passenger rates.
Perry Belmont believes that in this decision,
if indorsed by the law-making power of the
land, the political effect will be marked trend
toward state socialism and its twin brother,
radical Populism. Mr.. Belmont, however, is
hopeful that congress may alter the decision by
epacting law that will distinguish between
'awful" and "unlawful'' restraints of trade.
He said last night:
"Opinions in regard to the tendency for good
or evil of restraining legislation will probably
differ, according to the view taken of the rel
ative dangers to be feared from unrestrained
individual and industrial liberty on the one
hand and until restrained, state coercion ON
the other hand.
eff I am to choose between ndividualism
advocated by Herbert Spencer, and socialism,
greatly prefer the former.
"Freedom must be the rule. Government
control must be kept at the minimum. Indus
trial control is next to individual freedom, DO
litical freedom, religious freedom-the one
thing we must have.

mourning the loss of two subscribers.
Number one wrote asking how to
rear twins safely, while the other
wanted to know how to rid his or
chard of grasshoppers. The answers
went forth by the next mail. but by
accident were transposed into the
wrong envelopes, the man with twins
received this answer to his inquiry:
"Cover them carefully with straw
and set fire to it, and the little pests,
after jumping about in the flames for
a few minutes, will speedily be set
tied" While the plagued with the
grasshoppers was told to 'give cas-
tor oil, and rub their gums with a
bone"

ture of rain water, cheap grade of
chocolate and mustard. They then
sold the concoction throughout the

This sounds little like some other
bicycle stories we have heard, but
we clip it from an exchange and give
it for what it is worth:-A wheelman
hung his bicycle from the ceiling of
his cellar, and not far from a swing
ing shelf on which food was kept. A
mouse jumped from the wall onto the
tire of the front wheel, evidently hop
ing thereby to reach the shelf. The
wheel started and the mouse natural
ly ran toward the higher point of it,
keeping it going. When discovered
the next morning, the mouse was still
running, and the cyclometer showed
it had travelled over 2S miles.
