A SWEET COMMUNION.

In the hall of the house of repre-
sentativeS of Arkansas hang two
pictures. one of jefferson Davis and
one of George Washington. The pic
ture of Mr.. Davis occupies the place
of honor over the speakers stand,
while that of Washington is at the
left OF the speaker. Some time ago
Representative King introduced the
followinE:
Be it resolved lly the house of rep
resentatiyes of the state of Arkansas
that Hon. jefferson Davis picture be
rerroved from where it now hangs
and placed ut the left of the speakers
stand where General George WASH
ington's picture now hangs. and that
General iae0rsse iTaSilington'S picture
be placed over the speakers stand
where Hon. Jefferson Davis picture
now .iaa.IS.
Mr.. King explained that he was an
ex-Confederata soldier. but that he
introduced the resolution at the earn
est request of his constituents.
The resolution was defeated.
At the same time the house of rep
resentativeS of Kansas adopted a res
olution concratulating the house of
representatives OF Arkansas that
Kansas and Arkansas are now in po-
litical sympathy and alliance.
A few days la,er the dominant
party in Kansas, the one that boasts
of being in alliance with Arkansas,
balloted for United States senator,
turned down the ex-Union soldier
who was candidate, and elected an
ex-Confederate.
There is no mistake about the po-
litical alliance.
In order to still further attest the
mutual sympathy between Kansas
and Arkansas, the Kansas house
should have picture of jefferson
Davis placed over the speakers
stand.
There are thousands of homes in
Kansas which have vacant chairs be-
cause of this Jefferson Davis. He is
the man who betrayed his country,
who violated his oath TO sustain the
constitution, who had Union soldiers
starved to death in AnderSonville
and other prison pens. The picture
is one of the bonds of sympathy be-
tween the Democrats of Arkansas and
the Popocrats of Kansas.
1t is sweet communion, but how
does the old soldier. the old soldiers
son, the old soldiers daughter, like to
partake?-Hutchins News.

ONE TERM CROWD.

One fact may be considered settled.
The present Populist State admins
tration is rapidly becoming almost as
unpopular with the Populists as it is
with the Republicans. The State
officers elected on the promise of re-
form have been grabbing at every
thing in sight, and loading up the pay
rolls with their sisters, their cousins
and their auntS. The members of the
legislature seeing such an example
have put their wives. their daughters
and their relatives by marriage in as
committee clerks, doorkeepers and
assistants. The only business thus
far transacted has been the passage of
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1897-02-13

an appropriation bill to pay the mile
age and per diem, with ten dollars for
postage for each member.
Some of these things have been
done by the Republicans. But that
does not make them right. Some of
them are worse than the actions of
the ''plutocrats" even in times when
money was plenty and nobody was
demanding economy. And at a time
when the people were promised re-
form and retrenchment the action of
the Populist officers in taxing
everything they can for the bene-
fit of their own households, stands in
a most extreme contrast to the
pledges on which they were elected.
We do not desire to criticise the
PopuliSt State administration harShly.
1t is doubtless doing the best it knows
how. But we make the prediction
that is one term outfit, and that
while it will get good deal during
the two years of its power, it will be
a one term administration, turned
down by its own party as well as by
the sentiment of the people. le.-Hutch-
inson News.

are fully $500 pie hunters in Topeka,
who are spending from two to five dol
lars a day while waiting for some
thing to turn up. The hotels are
crowded, and the people aE sleeping
on the floor. on lounges, in the halls,
parlors and lobbies. The scramble is
disgraceful, and many men are paying
out more for hotel bills than they
have earned in six months Many of
them are farmers who should be boxed
up and sent home before they are
robbed by the professional politi-
cianS.'

When an office gets out in search of
a suitable Populist it usually may
count on taking the whole family.
The notorious practice of PopuliSt
officials in appointing wives, daugh-
ters and other relatives to office is a
disgraceful and hoggish abuse of the
appointing power. The practice of
appointing relatives to Office in Kan
sas is, under Populist rule, the most
brazen and inexcuSable. In some in
stances OF special fitness it might be
overlooked, though in bad taste. But
it is not d matter of fitness. Many
good housewives are not competent to

the Big Seventh district of this state.

foreign office further than to say that it
SHOWS that one of the objects sought by
the government OF the United States for
the past three years has been attained
by the agreement of Great Britain 10 par
ticipate in the conference to be held in
this city In October. The British govern
men. mas seen fit TO limit its part in the
conference to an ascertainment of the facts
IN dispute as. to seal life. 1t is stated that
this was precisely what was contemplated
by Secretaries Gresham and Olney when
they proposed the creation of a commits
sion of scientists to ascertain whether, nm
der the operation OF the existing reguIa-
lions, the seals We're or Were not on the
road to determination. If such a commits
sion should report in favor of the conten-
tlon OF the United States, this government
did not doubt that Great Britain would
consent TO such modification of the regu-
lations as would save the seals from ex-
termination. The continued refusal of the
British government to consent to such a
commission and conference led to the trans
mission to Ambassador Hay of Secretary
Sherman's note of May 10, which was fol-
lowed by Lord Salisbury's reply agreeing
to the conference.
Surprise is expressed at the State De-
P2r!ment that the London Times should
publish oniy the concluding paragraph of
Secretary Shermans note and devote four
columns to communication from the CO.
lonial Office, which is referred to us as mr.
Chamberlain's answer to Secretary Sher-
man, paper which has not been COM
municated to the State Department, and,
therefore, to which an official reply cannot
be made.

THE TROUBLE At HOGANSVILLE.
1t Will Be Considered by the
Cabinet.

The Post Office Department has taken no
action regarding the trouble over the ap-
pointment of a colored postmaster al
Hogchsville, Ga, which has stirred up the
people OF that section to IL high pitch of
excitement, resulting in the shooting OF
the colored man. The fourth assistant post
master general, speaking of this matter TO
a Star reporter today, said that he had no
official information regarding the trouble
on which to form judgment and That he
would take no action until such informa-
ton is received. 1t is understood that the
report of the post office inspector, who has
charge cf investigating the matter. will
be here in a day or two. 1t is said that in
nearly every case in which colored re-
publican is appointed to a post Office in
the south charges are made against his
character and the place in which he pro-
poses to locate his office Among some of
the officials of the Post Office Department
there is very strong feeling in favor of
upholding the colored postmaster at
Hogansville by very heroic means if neces-
sary. 1t is likely that the matter will be
considered not only personally by the
Postmaster General but that it will be
discussed at a meeting Of the cabinet in
order to determine upon a policy to be
pursued in the appointment of colored men
as postmasters throughout. the administra-
ton.

submitted. The advices received in official
quar- .ers indicated that the ratification Of
the treaty would be accomplished on the
first day of the session, probably unani-
mously. no opposition was apparent
