From Mckinley to Bryan.

The following communication has the
quality Of p%ertinence:
To THE EDITOR OF TUE sUs-str: No matter what
TIE Sun thinks those Democrats who voted for No
KISIET last november ought to do next fall, I am
convinced from \ careful investigation Of the facts
that most Of them viii vote tho Tammany ticket In
November next. The reason will DO twofold; part OF
II the fault of the present reform" administration,
but the larger part duo to the legislation at Albany
last winter. AUGUSTUS A. LETEr.
NEW YoRK. June z.
We must not expect that every Democrat
who voted for honest money in 1896 will
be found upon the same side in 1897. TIL
convictions under which some chose the
Mckinley ticket rather than tho Bryan
ticket were feeble at the best, and liable to
be overridden by the addition Of any trivial
dissatisfaction against the honest money
party or against any division of 1t. Some
were Of the philosophy that would resent
the failure of prosperity to bloom before
the passage Of q single measure by the
newly elected party. Doubtless the i'm
pulses of many are ftful and incapable
of lasting from one annual contest to
the other. On the other hand, there
will be many voters for whom last
year the old Democratic ties were strong
enough to overpower the feeling that the
fundamental principles Of Democracy, as
they had been handed down to them, had
been snuffed out at Chicago, and upon the
next occasion these may be expected to see
that their place is with the Republicans
until the Chicago platform Is formally re-
canted. The year 1897 should tell us moro
than we know now as to how much Of the
.anti.populism vote of 1895 was solid and
how much emotional and accidental. 1t
will devolve upon the ~stalwarts, who are
in the habit of picking their colors with
care, and who then stand by them unfiinch'
ingly, to see that the next anti-repudiation
vote is as powerful as it can be made.
Blu Mr.. LEvEY gives an instructive ex-
PLANTATION of the change which he prophe.
sizes his friends will make from the party
Of MCKINLEY to that of BRYAN. The admin
istration of New York city will be RESPONSE.
bic for a part of it, but the far greater cause
will be the Republican administration OF
the Empire State. The municipal question
doesn't affect Mr.. LEvEY and his friends tc
any great degree, and non-partisanship moi
al all. We advise Mr.. LEvEY that the great
question for all voters here next fall will not
be lew York city nor New York State, but
gold against silver, honest money against
population, and against the virulent spiri!
which animates the so-called Democratic
platform of the day.

there IL no reason now for p~ostponing those
negotiations with Spain, which are based on
the report Of Commissioner CALHOUN, and,
in a broader way, on the sentiment Of Con.
gress and the American people.
whether, in the mean time, Spain has
acted wisely, or has missed n great oppor.
tunity, only the result will show. Among
some European onlookers there is frankly
expressed establishment hat the Crown
should not have seized the occasion of the
voluntary resignation of CANovAs. due to
the Tetuan incident and to the growing
opposition of the Liberals, for trying a
change Of policy. But the dread of swan.
ping horses In crossing q stream seems
to have been more potent than any other
dread, and to this same fear we must prob.
ably ascribe the retention Of WEYLER, II he
really should be retained, which last Is q
point by no means settled. For 1t seems
clear that IL the Queen Regent took into
her councils men like SAGAsrA and MAR
TINEz CAMPos, and they assented to the re-
sumption Of authority by CANovAs, at
least some respect must have been paid to
their general views of the proper mode Of
carrying on the war.
At all events, with the crisis at Madrid
ended, 1t seems hardly worth while for our
Government to count any further on aid for
its plans from that source. The breach be-
tween the Liberals n Conservatives may
prove to be as wide as ever, and another
crisis may como, but 1t is now necessary to
put forth efforts to secure peace for Cuba
on the basis Of Independence; and this
should be done at once In order to derive
any needed aid from Congress while that
body Is still In session.

per on Reforms in Education Through
Child Study" Miss Dolphin is the only
woman superintendent of city schools
in Kansas She said:
Much Of the reform and phiIan-
thropy which has added materially to
our civilization mig be attributed to
that organization which is a living
monument to the most radical reform
of the present century the woman
club A high regard for the highest
moral, intellectual and spiritual inter
ests of humanity must be the result of
the most complete evolution of man
and woman alike. Many of the most
valuable reforms and improvements
which have had their birth in the Sun
flower state owe their success to our
fine public school system.
THE two great channels whence issue
all that is lasting and valuable in civil
izatiOn are the schools and the home.
Too long have these two great foun-
tain heads been considered distinct and
separate institutions. without natural
articulation. The ultimate object of
the new movement in educational fields
is to unite the work of the home and
the school in the preparation ofthe child
for life. There can be no more fitting
place to discuss this subject than a con-
vention which numbers among its
members the most enlightened mothers,

Lively Contest Over the EIec-
ton of President
At the Kansas Federation of
WOmen's Clubs.
a Day Devoted to Patriotism and
Child Study by the Women.

Hutchinson, May 6-AIrs. Moore, who
as radiant vision in pink and white
greeted the Federation at the opening
reception, was translated the next
morning into her usual dOve-like sober
ness of costume, and with no diminu-
ton of her usual pTOmptneSs and vigOr
started the work of the day. After
voting the Art Chronicle of Leaven-
worth the official organ Of the Fedora
ton. a State Federation pin was or
dered to be furnished by a committee
appointed for that purpose
A well known Topeka woman COM
planned that when she had decorated
herself with all the badges Of her four
different clubs, the General Federation
pin, the State Federation pin and the
ordinary rings and brooches and ban
giles of everyday dress, she would be
fit candidate for presentation at any
court in Europe or an acceptable bride
to Oldham With-Eyes- In-H1s-F ace, in
a Sioux tepee.
The Federation seemed short of mot
toes, as only three were offered when a
motion was made for club motto. The
strictly classical one from old Socrates,
Non mini esse aIenum aiquid hui
manum putO," which the Federation
viii need time to assimilate, was
promptly rejected as also Science
without conscience is ruin to the soul, -
which was not definite enough as to
whose conscience was required. The
last and adopted one was:
'Ihere'S naught so small upon the
earth doth live
But to the earth some special good
doth give"
Not that the Federation considers it
self a small thing by any means, but
a tinkling rhyme hath ever a pleasing
sound.

Kingman were on the floor today, in
tensely interested in the election of

at some of the dlibustering tactics Of
the opposing parties, but the struggle
finally ended in "a free ballot and a

PENITENTIARY EXPENSES.
Complaint That Funds are so Ar
ranged as to Cause Deficit

A. A. Newman of Clay Center, NJ L.
Drake of Mcpherson and c. Z. Allison
Of Erie, the board of directors and
w arden H s. Lands of the state penf-
Tertiary came to the city yesterday to
confer with the members OF the exec
utiVe council, endeavOring to devise
some means whereby deficiencies in
several funds a that institution may
be overcome and money provided for
the purchase Of necessities. They ex-
pected also to see the governor, but he
is out of the city.
The difficulty which the management
OF the Denitentiary now cOnfrOntS is due
to the specific appropriations made by
the legislature. In some instances
where no large amount of money is
needed, the legislature appropriated ex-
travagant sums, cutting down apprO-
priations for funds which are constant
~ being drawn upon
The present board is confronted with
a deficiency which for May and June
the remainder Of the fiscal year. is es-
tinated at $500. The largest deficiency
IS in the fund set apart for the purchase
of clothing The next largest is in the
keepers uniforms and the fund set
apart for the payment of the earnings
Of cOnvicts. The fund for stamps sta
tiOnery, expressage and incidentals Of
that character is also exhausted. The
board has contingent fund of IS, 900
for which there is no great necessity
for at least that amount of money
However. in the appropriations which
are of the utmost Importance the fail
ure of the legislature to set apart suf-
ficient funds, coupled with some Re
publican extravaganza, is response BILE
for the embarrassing situation in which
the management IS now placed.
