THE resignation of the Spanish cabinet
has been handed to the queen, owing to the
difficulty the ministers experience in carry
ing on the government, in view OF the par
Elementary situation caused by the refusal
of the liberals to take part in the delibera-
tions of the Cortez. This attitude OF the
liberals is due to the personal encounter be-
tween the duke of Tetuan, the minister of
foreign affairs, and Prof. Comas, a liberal
senator, on May 81, when the minister
slapped the face of the senator after heat
ed debate on the Morgan belligerency reso-
luton adopted by the United States Senate.

Burlington Courier: Corporations find
the present State administration diff
cult to manage. Heretofore they have
had their own way. They are learning
that the State laws will be enforced for
the benefit of the people and not used
as blackmailing SCENE for the benefit
Of corrupt Office holders.

The statement that "the Third Congress

by 1000 this year records a small Re
publican majority" is going the rounds

more than one crowd in the same town.
Clay Center Times (Rep) The rail-
roads in this part of the world have
grown smart and think they can do
business on the same plans the roads OF
the East have adopted. One Of the
latest innovations, and the most start
ling, by the way, is the order that is to
be enforced after January 1st next, that
no passengers are to be allowed on
freight trains thereafter. Now, is that not
a high-handed piece Of autocracy? That
little piece Of business foolishness would
make Kansas solid Populist State
when it came to dealing with the rail-
roads. A town with one passenger train
a day, and that only, would rise up as
one man to swipe the company; and the
whole surrounding country would join
hands with it. The rule will be sus-
pended for the next hundred years.
Burden Eagle: 1t is reported that
whisky and beer were used in Burden
on election day in interest of the can
didates and with their knowledge, not
through the drug stores, but by individ-
uals who, without respect to law or de-
cenCy, became the tools Of these aspir-
ants to office, and who, for a mere pit.
tance, shut themselves up in company
with the vile stuff that a few voters
might sell their votes We don't know
that one drop was used for that purpose,
and hope the report is false; but one
thing we are assured of, and that is that
no candidate Of whatever political party
can hope to gain popularity in Silver
Creek township by dispensing liquor
among the people. They may catch the
votes Of a few whose appetite is their
god, and who care more for whisky than
for principle, but for every vote thus
captured they will lose the votes of
twice that number of our law-abiding
citizens without regard to politics
Leavenworth Times (Rep): Leland's
following in Kansas has dwindled down
to a few servile parasites who still ex-
pect to receive some political spoils.
Leland's influence has waned The party
is weary of the boss low cunning, weary
Of his unclean methods, weary of his
petty oppression. He is small-minded

temptible and depraved He is a man
without principles, without any appre-
citation of the noble spirit and aims Of
Republicanism. He is spoils politician

Troy Times (Pop.): Judging from the
actions of Kansas Boards Of Pardon for
the past five years the courts Of this
State have mighty poor judgment in
afiixing penalties to convicts, and the
worst of it Is the boards have made their
recommendations go with the Governors
every time. The refusal Of Governor
Leedy to pardon Willie Sells being al
most the only incident Of the kind. The
Board of Pardons ought to be abolished.
Pittsburg (Kas.) Tribune: The Globe
Democrat, a gold bug organ, says that
Mckinley will recommend that Congress
will repeal the "aCt Of '78, which di-
rects the Secretary Of the Treasury to
pay out greenbacks after their redemp-
ton" In other words, retire the green
backs. You Republicans who have been
declaring that the party is in favor of
three kinds of money can swallow that
dose and obey the pop of the party lash.
Kansas City Star: The buffalo grass is
better in western Kansas this year than
the oldest inhabitant ever has known
it to be before. 1t covers the earth
wherever the plow has not broken the
soil, and countless herds are fattening
upon it. 1t will afford food for stock
throughout the winter Give a steer

grass to Craze upon and it will winter

Emporia Republican: If fusion is
broken up the Populist party is broken
up. To break up the Populist party the
Republican party must drop prOhibi-
ton. BY doing so twenty or thirty thou
sand votes will be reclaimed. If you
hold prohibition that don't prohibit par
amount to the Republican party your
place is with the assassins of the Repub-
lican party-the third party" so called.
The Republican party, which has done
all for prohibition that has been done,
finds its most bitter opponent the third
party organization.

PUBLIC OPINION.

this week. The accumulation Of loan
able funds has again brought to the sur
face the question Of reducing the inter
est rate on bank balances deposited in
New York. Several OF the larger banks
have apparently determined to take ac-
ton in that respect; but there Is no con
certed purpose to do so. The state OF
the money market has been the princl-
pal bar to imports OF gold, for the trade
balance is still heavily in our favor. The
treasury deficit continues at discourag-
lug rate. Our Spanish relations take on
aspects alternately good and bad
though Spain is still disposed to pursue
a concilatory policy
Harper's Weekly: The Circuit Court
of Appeals has rendered a decision that
boycotts against trade are Illegal. In
the case under consideration certain
members of Coopers' Union No. IS, Of
Kansas City. ordered boycott against
a staye company because N had intro
duced into It's shop machine for hoop
ing barrels. The court believed that this
constituted a conspiracy against trade,
and that 1t was also hostile to progress.
The decision seems just-quite as just
as would be a decision, for example,
against the tobacco trust on the ground
that the use of it's power to drive rivals
out of business is contrary to public
policy.
Kansas City Times: Kansas City has
suffered beyond all computing by the
reputation it has acquired through the
kD NJ nVsiVNo 1o
papers have exposed the Crookedness,
but it has apparently been impossible
to break through the protection which
has been given offenders by the court
officials themselves. So long as this con-
dltion of affairs prevails every officer Of
the law who has to do with criminal
prosecutions will occupy an unenviable
position before the people. The public
has a well-defined idea as to the source
of the corruption, and the officials who
are honest owe 1t to their regulations
to either bring the guilty ones to JUS
tice or make such an exposure as will
drive the corrupt from Office.
