full thing. When your children trem-
BILE at the tales of the terrible atroc-
tiles of Jerry Simpson, of Kansas,
soothe their childish fears with the
honeyed words of wisdom that drop
from the inspired lips of j. S. Coxey,
of Ohio. Remember that pop in any
state is just as sweet. Populism is
not Kansas complaint. 1t is in the
blood of men. Sometimes it becomes
epidemic. Then too, often, it brings
out all the envy in man, all the cov-
etousness, all the malice. Then it is
not a conviction-it is temperament.
1t affects its victims nearly all alike.
The Kansas populist is not one whit
worse than the men of all ages who
have let their envy get the better of
their honor, and who have desired to
make men equal by dividing some 9th
er mans property.
Cain was the first populist. When
he saw that his brothers gift was ac-
ceptable to God and that his own gift
was not acceptable, Cain did what ev-
cry Kansas populist would do, what
every Ohio populist would do, and
what the Nebraska populist would
justify in glowing rhetoric. Instead
of getting out and hustling for bet
ter offering, Cain got club and went
after his more diligent and successful
brother--just what the populist of TO-
day is doing. Gentlemen, from the
tree that grew the club of Cain, has
come every plank in the Chicago
platform.
In this great fight before the Ameri.
can people for the preservation o1
American institutions, gentlemen, you
may depend on Kansas. She is flesh
of your flesh, bone of your bone. The
republican party in our state has beer
chastened and strengthened for the
great work. The last year has taught
the Kansas republicans the greatest
lesson of life-the lesson of courage
We have the iron in our blood-iror
that makes men strong, who shall
make Kansas great, for
estates are not great
Except as men make them:
Men are not great except they do ant
dare"
And in that great battle whose lint
is forming, between patriotism ant
anarchy, Kansas may dedicate to hel
country's service men worthy to figh
besides the patriots of Ohio-Ameri
cans as fearless as John Sherman, al
dauntless as Foraker, as powerful al
Mark Hanna. And one day Kansas
may give the world a knight, withou
fear and without reproach-worthy t.
stand in the nations history, besid'

THE POLITICAL CONDITION OF
SPAIN.
From Harper's Weekly.

3 Very soon after the beginning OF
the Cuban insurrection succession
of events took place that brought to
Il standstill the progress of the Span
ish people, and which had been re-
markable and persistant, notwith-
standing the drawbacks arising from
the mistakes and the shortcomings of
their governing classes in finance, in
commerce, in administration of every
kind, and in political, ELECTORAL, and
military matters, owing to the great
difficulty there is in shaking off old
and inveterate habits. No European
nation deserves good government and
sound administration more than the
docile patient, long-suffering people
which is always so ready to respond
to the call of its rulers when they ap-
peal to the pride and patriotism of
gallant race, and when they do not
tax too much its powers of endurance
by misgovernment and political mis-
takes of sufficient magnitude to
arouse popular wrath-then not easy
to control. This was seen also dur
ing the last two years, as the nation
allowed its governments to call out
100000 conscripts, $4,000 reserves, 49,
600 on unlimited furlough, which en-
abled the War Minister to send 200,-
900 men to Cuba and Puerto Rico,
$4,000 men to the Philippines, and to
keep about 10000 at home ready for
emergencies. The families of $4,000
other conscripts did not hesitate to
take from their boards $15000,000
which they paid into the treasury to
redeem their lads from military SER
ivce. They thus furnished the finance
minister with means to make up in
part the decline visible in many other
sources of taxation affected by the
effects of the civil war. Trade in all
sorts of business decreased, exchang-
es rose to 81 per cent, agricultural in
terests suffered, and bad crops in 1896
aggravated matters. Manufacturing

able among the working classes Of
populous districts, whose only foreign
markets were the West Indies and the
Philippine Isles, to which they used
to send before the rebellions, about
$30,000,00O Of products annually.
The falling off of agricultural and
industrial exports caused by these in
surrections gives a foretaste of what
the secession of either colony would
be for those Spanish provinces, inhab
tied by the most turbulent Republi
can and socialist democracy in towns
and by the equally turbulent Carlist
peasantry in highlands and rural dis
tricts.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)

Washington, March 5, 1897.
1t was a great Inauguration day.
The crowd was the greatest ever in
Washington upon similar occasion.
The city was better and more gener-
ally decorated than ever before. The
enthusiasm reminded one of the cam
paign meetings, and of the announce
ment of the election of Mckinley and
Hobart.
The parade was the best managed
and most enjoyable ever seen in Wash
ington, and the words of praise for
General Horace Porter, the chief mar
shal, are heard on all sides. If every
organization in the big parade which
deserved it was mentioned, it would
fill this paper, but none of them re-
ceived more attention from the spec
tators than Troop A, of Cleveland, o.,
with their fine black horses and
showy uniforms, and the members OF
the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteers,
the presidents old regiment, which
shared between them the honor OF be-
ing President McKinley's personal es'
cort. the former of which at the close
of the inaugural ceremonies also es'
corted ex-President Cleveland to the
wharf, where he took steamer fol
a southern duck hunting trip. Presi
dent McKinley's inaugural address
more than came up to expectations
1t was a scholarly, conservative
and statesmanlike announcement o.
what he hopes to do for the country
with the aid of congress. Every par
ticipant in the Inauguration believed
that he was helping to inaugurate th'
greatest era of prosperity this coun
try has ever known.
Vice-President Hobart, who wa
sworn in a few minutes before th'
close of the fifty-fourth congress, ant
before President Mckinley was sworl
in, in order that he might call the eX
ira session of the senate, called to ac
when President McKinley's nomina
ton, to order, acted his part with al
the ease of veteran presiding officer
There were jewels of sturdy Ameri
can patriotism in the little speecl
made by Secretary Sherman at th'
banquet given by the Ohio delegation
in congress, in honor of his TRANSITION
from the senate to the cabinet. Fo
anstnace, the following: "The homo
of this country must never be lowered
an inch" at should be the purpos
of the government to protect its owl
citizens wherever they may be found.
1t must be pleasing to every man whit
loves the honor and good name of hi
country to know that man wh'
holds such sentiments is. now il
charge of the department of state
Such a policy does not mean war, bu
peace, because other nations will talk
good care not to give an administra
ton which announces such polio,
cause for war.

It is a coincidence that the mother
of the last Ohio president, the lament
ed Garfield, saw her son inaugurated
president of the United States, just as
Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley saw her
son take the oath and heard him de-
liver his inaugural address. Few
mothers have the privilege of enjoy
ing such a proud and happy hour
Long may she live to enjoy the honors
gained by her son.

Mr.. Olney kept up his obstinacy to
the last, by declining to furnish the
senate with copies of correspondence
concerning the case of DIR. Ruiz, an
American citizen who died or was
killed in Spanish prison in Cuba,
giving instead a statement of his own.
That sort of tomfoolery is now happ-
lily over, and Secretary Sherman will
see that senators and representatives
are given all the information they
may desire, concerning the foreign re-
lations of this government.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1897.

1t is stated upon apparently good
authority that President Mckinley
will not seriously consider the matter
of appointments, outside of the diplo-

One of Mr.. Cleveland's parting shots
at congress was his veto Of the immi-
grafton bill, which shuts out litter
ates. He held his veto back as long as
possible, although the close vote by
which the bill passed the senate made
it certain that it could not be passed
over the veto by the senate. The
house promptly passed it over the
veto

The bible upon which President Nc
Kinley took the oath of Office was pre-
sented to him by the A. NJ. E. church,
through a committee composed OF
Bishop Arnett, of Ohio, who made the
formal speech of presentation; Bishop
Grant of Pennsylvania; Bishop Salter
of South Carolina, and Bishop Gaines
of Georgia. The bible which was
made for the purpose, is a very hand
some one and is very highly priced by
President Mckinley.

FIREiN FARR'S STORE
Discovered BY Hugh MeDonough and
distinguished Without Loss.

Good judgement on the part of Patrolmen
White and Hans Smith and quick work with
fire buckets last night saved the boot and
shoe store of John E. Farr at At Exchange
street from being badly damaged by fire
and water. Hugh McDonough the bank
Waterman, who has the record for discover
ing fires added another one to his list last
night and this time good luck led him to
make the discovery at about the right time.
It was 10. 81 o'clock and McDonough was
standing just below Middle street ON Ex-
change when he noticed that the lights in
Earr's store were fickering and burning in
a peculiar manner. McDonough and q man
! named Adams who was with him crossed
the street to investigate and finally went
round to the rear entrance to the store on
Market street. Here they smelled smoke and
saw that fire was burning in the basement
| of the building. Officers White and Hans
smith were coming up the street and Nc
| Donough called TO them. The four ,hen burst
omen the back door of the store and cloud
| Of smoke rolled out into the street. Some
one started to turn in a general alarm but
the police officers prevented this being done
until the extent of the fire could be ascer-
/ tanned.
| In the basement the policemen found sew
| eral dry goods boxes on fire. In one OF these
boxes hot ashes had been thrown which hao
set fire to some paper in the bottom. BY
quick work with buckets OF water the blaze
was extinguished without having done any
damage. 1t was a narrow escape from bad
fire and the patrolmen deserve great praise
! for the way they handled it.

"HoRRoR" PARTIES.
Feminine Ingenuity Invents New Form
of Entertainment.
(Harner,s Bnzar. J

Who would ever suppose that plea sure
could be derived from horror The
girls are forever racing their brains for
some new form of amusement. Late ,
they hit upon an original idea, which,
when carried out, gave all VINO were
present an immense amount OF pleasure.
The entertainments was called Horror
party, - and the plan was for each glil
and young man to bring with them their
own especial horror.
There was a dinner first, to which
eighteen young people were asked. The
sshorrors' were not Unwrapped or dls-
closed to public view until after The meal
was over. The guests were then told TO
draw for partners. They retrired from
the room for u moment, to return with
neatly done-up packages, tied with gay
ribbons in tissue paper OF bright coiofs.
The girls then exchanged them with
their partners, and, amid roars Of laugh
ter. unwraprel the "horrors." 1t would
be almost impossible to describe all Of
them, but one can form an idea from the
few following what merriment was Gre
nted by the insight iuto each young per-
sons s'pet aversion !"
One young man brought basket with
q large black cat in 1t, which, when let
loose, began to pratice around the room
at o lively gait Another obJsct was
bottle of some nasty cheap perfume,
which one young girl insisted was her

dilapidated Gil painting Of some verry
cross-luokiHg ancestor, which she SAID
had haunted her ever since she was q
child, and had in that way becoIce her
ssperfect horror" as it always hung over
her RED in the nursery. Then there were
hideous yellow plaid cravats. a oabbage,
a bottle OF musk, which, lningling it,
perfume with the cabbage, made most
charming and esthetic combination. One
girl brought q pair of white satin slip
pers, which had always been too tight
| for her, and what greater horror can

| inndo il hop in the most natural way,
