1t appears from a dispatch in the Chi

money by that now famous mortgage on
Mrs. Leases home was not Mrs. Lease
herself, bat the person who loaned the
money. And IL appears further that the
lender was not one OF the hated money
sharks of the east. but a resident of Kan

no desire to pay S1.40O on property

apparently accounts for the foreclosure OF

If President-elect Mckinley had only the
politicians to dodge. he would probably
find life much easier. Being politician
himself, he knows how to deal with poll
ticians. But there are lots of other peo-
pie after him. Half dozen or so preach
ers of Washington are after him to ac-
cept pews in their churches, and as many
artists and sculptors are trying to get sit
tings from him for portraits, busts and
the Ike. Mr.. Bryan probably reads the
dispatches about the hunters and the
hunted, and congratulates himself upon
having escaped many trials.
Mississippi Congressman wishes to have

He runs the risk of being warmly received

states to issue bonds to pay for the I'M

that it is his purpose to make the bonds

sherman's Inconsistency.

When Senator Sherman's name was first
mentioned for Secretary of State it was
said by those thoroughly acquainted with
him that. although man of very great
ability. he was not qualified for the posi-
ton. He has never made a study of ques-
tions affecting our relations with foreign
governments, and he lacks the tact and
patience required in diplomatic matters.
1t has only been announced that he will
be in the cabinet and yet he has got him
self into trouble about the Cuban war.
1t is stated that at Pittsburg last Fri
day he declared in IN interview that the
policy of the Mckinley administration in
respect to Cuba would be the same as
that of the Cleveland administration, ex-
cept that the negotiations for a settlement
of the trouble which Secretary Olney has
been conducting with the Spanish minis
ter, De LONE, would be discontinued.
When Mr.. Sherman arrived in Washing
ton he declared he had not been inter
viewed at Pittsburg. He said he had not
discussed the Cuban situation for publ
cation, and did not intend to do so outside
of the Senate.
There does not seem to be any doubt,
however, that what he is reported as hav-
ing said at Pittsburg expresses the views
of Mr.. Mckinley in respect to the Cuban
trouble. 1t is known that Mr.. Mckinley
does not want to involve the country in a
war at the very beginning of his admin
istration. In fact he doesn't want war at
ALL His purpose is to keep the country
at peace with all the world and give every
possible encouragement to business.
The fact that Senator Sherman began
talking about the Cuban policy of the
next administration within twenty-four
hours after he had decided to accept the
offer of Secretary of State leads some of
his friends to doubt whether he will be
as great a success as a diplomatist as they
hope he will. If he finds it necessary to
! deny his utterances before taking office,
what will he do when he is actually at the
head of the state department?

AGAINST THE GOLD STANDARD.

Throughout Kansas Silver Men Stand
Shoulder to Shoulder.
The Kansas City Tribune, re-
publican newspaper OF Kansas City,
Kan, recently sent out queries to
the county clerks OF Kansas asking
for Information in regard to the fu
sion in their respective counties
From the los counties in the state
sixty.seven answers have thus far
been received, and the showing Is
most gratjfyirg 6 to the friends of fu
sion.
The answers show that, out of the
slxty.seven counties, forty eight have
fusion tickete, while in nineteen
there is DO fusion. Twenty-ssven
counties out of the 48 have com
plete fusion between democrats,
popuIists and silver republicans,
each of these parties having repre-
sentatives upon the ,ickets. In the
remaining 81 counties the fusion is
between democrats and populists,
silver republicans not being repre-
sented.
The counties heard from are well
distributed throughout the state
aud the situations in them may be
taken AZ a criterion of the situation
throughout the Suphower common
wealth.
In these counties there is fusion
between democrats, populists and
silver republicans: Anderson, Butler,
Brown, Barton, Coffey, Cowley,
Comsnche, Chase, Cherokee, Frank
lin, Greenwood, Harvey, Jefferson,
jackson. Labette, Lincoln, Linn,
Montgomery, Marshall, Miami, Ne
maha, Ottowa, Rice. Russell, Riley,
Shawnee and Sedwick.
In the following counties the sill
YER republicans are not represented
upon the fusion ticket: Bourbon,
Chatauqua. Clay, Crawford. Doni-
phan, Ellsworth, Ford, G-ary,
Kiowa, Leavenwortb, Lyon, Morris,
Neosho. Usage, Pratt, Smith, Sum
ner, Saline, Pottawatomie, Wabaun
see and Washington.
The counties which have no fusion
are: Barber, Cloud, Dickinson. Ora
ham, Greeley, Gray, HastelI. Kear
ney, Lane, Meade, Ness, Pawnee,
Rawlins. Rush, st. John, Thomas,
Woodsop, Wallace and Wichita.
It is safe to assume that in at
least two thirds of the Kansas coul
ties there is fusion against gold
standard republicanism. 1t is also
evident that the republican organ in
Kansas City, Kan, obtained very
little qualification from the investi
cation set on foot.
