Week

The smokeless stove or
which water is boiled in oul
show window has been q
great attraction for several
days to students in phil
osOphy. The Jewel is a good
stove anyway.
The special subject for the
people this week is not
stoves, that subject is a daily
one. This week you will
have novelties of all sorts.
This is the season when
the hens 60 on strike and
the price of eggs goes sky
ward. Hens want a little
encourageme mt now and
then, and the best thing
known to science is green
bones. But they must be
cut up fine. We have the
best green bone cutter in the
world.
Another novelty is the
soap saver, made of re-tin-
ned wire, basket shaped,
with long handles. This is
the best soap saver known
and we have three sizes.
Cheaper than dirt and more
beautifying.
DripleSS tea and coffee
strainerS are new and SER
vicable. There's a cutoff
attachment which prevents
coffee or tea from dripping
on the table cloth after the
cup is filled. Very cheap
these, and pretty too.
A g. knife Victor meat
chopper for quarter seems
like a dream, but it isn't. We
sell them at that price and
we sell the Holdfast dust
pan-beSt you ever saw.
The latest in coasters is
the revolving STAR enables
the cook to toast. five pieces
of bread at once. Try one.

RUSSIA FRIENDLY.

What with the Cuban situation and
Japan's menace over Hawaiian annex
alton on the outside, and the tariff
question and money issue on the in
side, this country seems 10 have It's
hands full. without the Alaskan seal
question inopportunely forcing itself TO
the front in the shape of misunder-
standing with England. What Eng
land would do. what would be her atti-
tude towards us in the event of trouble
with Spain or Japan, we have only TO
recall her actions during the late re-
belliOn. However, the announcement of
the London Chronicle, on authority of
its Washington correspondent that Sec
rotary Sherman has sent dispatch TO
Lord Salisbury sharply criticising the
British government for its neglect Of
duty in protecting the seal fisheries of
Boring Sea, will have 10 be taken with
several grains Of allowance. That Eng
land has acted unfairly, if not with act
ual bad faith in this matter, is beyond
question, and it is equally true that Sec
rotary Sherman might with perfect pro-
priety protest against her wanton eva
sion OF an obligation imposed upon her
by the Paris conference. 1t is TO be re-
membered, though that this govern
ment has recently made overrures to
Russia for a system of seal protection,
and that these proposals have probably
received favorable consideration at ST
Petersburg. With the prospect of a
Russo-American patrol in BerinS Sea.
il is no longer necessary that we should
seek the aid of England in saving the
seals, and it is likely that, if Secretary
Sherman has made any communication
10 Great Britain al all it IS merely no
tice Of our intention to seek co-opera-
ton in other quarters.

NJ. NJ MURDOCH. Editor
A JOB THAT FAILED.

From a cosensus of public opinion,
and from a concurrent expression OF
interested and uninterested newspapers,
the fast mail job in being a scheme Is
also a complete failure. We have edi-
1orial clippings from almost every pa
Der of the communities along the line,
as also of those of more distant and
remote, whose people were TO be bene-
flied. With the exception OF two in
significant sheets of more spleen than
brains, and whose pr0prietors can con-
ceive Of no possible success except as
reaped from the misfOrtunes Of others.
The expression is unanimous that the
fast mail is a swindle akin TO robbery,
n which the money of the government
is being Iavishly expended in the inter
est of a coterie of Individual interests
that were parties to the job. We nave
preserved these clippings and the post
office department has but TO call for
them to be put in possession of the
Judgment of the communities most IL
terested. The latest is from the kiOwa
Journal of yesterday, whose editor says:
"A great TODD has been made about
fast mail train that was put on July
]. between Kansas City and Newton.
Bun that TODD cuts no ice as far as this
section Of Kansas is concerned. The
Kansas City and Topeka papers still
continue to arrive daily twenty-four
hours late The Wichita Eagle. how
ever. continues to serve its patrons as
Of yore with all the latest news twenty
Your hours ahead Of any other daily
that comes 10 this pOstOfice."
Had the plot or intrigue proved the
success that was expected, il would
have been, largely, at the expense of
the Eagle But it is a failure, from
every point of view or consideration.
The business men of Kansas have not
been benefited to the amount of far
thing by the expedited train, while the
Kansas City mornig papers are forced
10 go to press at such an early hour
TO catch the facilitated mail as TO pre-
clude the possibility of the latest and
best news. They contain no news of
consequence not found in the evening
lapers. AS for the Eagle, It's subscrip-
lion list has grown faster than at any
time in its history. This is a fact which
any advertiser or other person interest
ed can ascertain to his entire Satisfac-
ton by calling upon the business de-
partment of the paper

KANSAS CONDITIONS.

While the spring months of the pres
ent season were very favorable for
wheat. oats, vegetables and grasses and
the like, they were not favorable to
Germ The cool, damp weather retarded
the growth of corn but did not discour-
age the growth of wheat. Following
the cold spring came excessive hot
weather, with minimum of humidity.
SO at this writing, despite favorable
showers, the corn crop of the Arkansas
valley, taken as a whole, is in dis
couraging condition. 1t stands fairly
strong ia stalk but it came in tassle
prematurely from the excessive heat, so
that the chances are that the ears will
be correspondingly short in size and in
number. The fields that will make an
average yield viii be fewer than half.
and the big yields per acre this year
VIII be only in exceptional fields, in
fields favorably located, of timely plant
ing and thorough cultivation.
Kansas may come TO the markets of
1897 little short in her corn crop but
she will not be short On anything else.
She has good supply of old corn on
hand, while the present crop will feed
her hogs and cattle even If she has no
corn Of consequence to sell. But Kan
sas is long on everything else. A con-
temporary remarks that over 100000
cattle have gone into western Kansas
since January /. Besides the Flint
Hills ranges between the Arkansas val
ley and the Verdigris region are covered
with cattle Her wheat harvest Is the
biggest and best for years. The esti-
mate of the wheat yield for this year is
F0.G9o,000 bushels. This seems a con-
servative estimate and one which was
only exceeded by the crop of 80. As
for other conditions they are all favor
able. Probably the best measure Of
conditions are the banks. Not in wears
have Kansas banks Shown so much
promise. The last report by the state
bank examiner shows seven millions of
deposits. The national banks are reIa-
lively as prosperous.

English free trade policy of special tax

alton.
The question OF revenue hinges upon
the changed material and financial con-
ditions Of the country. Every individ-
ual, corporation and company has
been compelled to retrench. to curtail
expenses. Why not the government Of
the United States? AS nation we can
not afford to discount the future by go
ing into bond deals, as did the Cleve-
land administration. That in the end
means bankruptcy. The expenditures
must be kept within the volume of rev.
enue. II is a mistaken idea or at least
q false principle, TO pay no attention
to growing and increasing expenses, ex-
cept in the way of strained effort TO
meet them by increasing the revenue.
Take care of the revenues but force eX-
penditures down TO and within the limit
of the income The Republican party
in holding to protection should steer
clear of special taxation, clear Of laying
duties on things which we cannot pro-
duce. The party of economy is the pop
ular party. Let the Republican party
not only advocate retrenchment but en-
force ii, at least until its protective poll
CIV brings about change in conditions,
brings about prosperous times.

HAWAII WILL BE OURS,

Our Associated Press dispatches Of
yesterday morning intimate that the au-
thorities Of Hawaii are inclined to lev
ity over Japan's show of bristles. The
truth is that the attempt Of the Demo-
cratic press TO throw cold water on the
annexation policy by pulling forward
the threats of the little island Of Japan
is ridiculous. The attitude of England
and Germany respectively might have
some weight. but ex-Secretary John w.
Foster, who has been sounding public
sentiment abroad recently, says that
European governments, while not par
ticularly pleased at the prospect of the
annexation of Hawaii. ''are reconciled
TO it." They regard it as natural and
inevitable. Mr.. Foster learned the SEN
timents of Russia and France during
his visit in St Petersburg and Paris,
and there is little doubt that his opinion
of the feeling through Europe over the
Hawaiian matter is correct
1t is always wise 10 be reconciled to
the inevitable. The annexation of Ha-
wall by the United States is the logical
outcome Of the situation. If the United
States does not take charge Of the
islands they are likely to pass into the
control of some other nation TO the man
ifest disadvantage of this country. In
der the circumstances annexation Is not
only proper but inevitable. If the
islands had been situated relatively to
almost any European nation as they
are to the United States that European
nation would have absorbed them long
ago. OF course the European govern
ments will be reconciled to the change.
They will have to be.
The question after all for other pow
ers tG answer is not, what right has the
United States to annex Hawaii? 1t is,
Has not Hawaii the right to annex her
self TO the United States IL she deems
it her best interest to do so? The
United States is making no reprisal, is
robbing no other power of its rights, is
not coercing or subjugating an unwill-
ing people. but simply welcoming them
TO their desire as friends.

GROVER AGAIN IN 1900.

The man of destiny lives now in New
Jersey. His deseruon of New York for
his new home was thought a sure indi-
alton that he bad finally abandoned all
notions Of any further participation in
public life. Bur indications now are
that there was a purpose in the move.
Grover Cleveland Is not giving his time
to law practice. nor has he settled down
to the rest and recuperation Of quiet
life in an inland town. He is busy
man, as busy as at any time in the past,
and his business is politics. A promin-
ent man lately visiting him was aston
ished to find him in political cores
pondence with prominent DemooOats in
every state Cleveland is not yet ont
of public life, at least he does not con-
slider that he is. 'He is writing as many
political letters today as he ever did,"
said this gentleman, land you would be
amazed to see the number of letters he
receives every day. He replies to all OF
them in his laborious way, particularly
II the writer asks his counsel and advice
as to the future Of the party. I had
assumed that Cleveland was out Of con-
sideration for 1900. but am fairly con-
WINGED now that he looks forward con-
fidently to a great popular demand for
him in that year-so great as 10 form
the basis for the organization of a new
national party, If necessary, to put him
in the field as presidential candidate"
