with Jefferson and Couldock, who still

THE WARNING WILL BE LOST.

The Kansas Populists have at last becn
compelled to admit that tho recent cleo.
tions went against them. The admission
comes all the more reluctantly because
there are no such Republican gains in other
states. In most of the states which voted
last week the presidential year maiorities
dwindled. but in Kansas the Republicans
gained heavily. This indicates as plainly ne
words could speak IL that Populism Is on
the decline. The Populist policies have
evidently not commended themselves to the
Kansas people.
Wise leaders would be expected to take
warning from this reverse and change their
methods. but nobody expects the Populist
leaders to do so. The Popuiist is both
stupid and stubborn and he will probably

has gone heretofore. Leedy will continue

OUR SPANISH WAR CLOUD.

The press correspondents who have been
declaring war between this country and
Spain for several months past are still
vigorously AT 1t. Their latest ominous dis
covcry is an extraordinary activity in the
United States navy yards. Work of con-
struction and repair. they tell us. is pro-
ceeding at n prodigious rate and every
thing indicates that the government IL
rushing preparations for war. True, they
quote the yard officials as saying that
there is nothing unusual in the present
activity. and that they have received no
emergency orders-that work is always
pushed when appropriations are availa-
BILE: but they attach no value to these as
suranccs. The yard oficials are simply
discreet. War is in the air, and II will
not be many weeks until the black cloud
lowers. etc.
People who are not employed in writing
startling press dispatches. however, see
nothing alarming on the horizon. The
Cuban situation is not materially different
now. so far as this country is concerned,
from what II was n month or two
months ago. Some polite correspond
ence has passed between Washington
and Madrid. but there is no breach
OF the peace. The only thing threat
enins in the situation is the recent unof-
ficial announcement that the president
would turn the whole matter over to con-
gross when II convcnes. II is possible that
congress may do something to precipitate
trouble. IL II is in the same notion as
last summer the sennte Will probably take
radical action. In the house. Speaker Reed
may not succeed so well again in restrain
ing the jingocs, and possibly he may not
try so hard TO do so.
But still. all this is mere conjecture-in
fact. little more than idle gossip. and there is
really no reason why anybody should get
excited. And nobody seems to he getting
that way except the press correspondents
aforesaid.

REBukED FOR WHAT.

To those who insist on finding a IRE
buke'' TO the Mckinley administration In
last weeks elections II Is proper to put
this question: Rebuked for what? What
has the Mckinley administration done. or
not done. to merit rebuke? In what partic-
ular has it failed in its pledges to the peo-
pie? In what respect has 1t not been an
entire success, so far as il has gone:
The president promised that the tarih
should be reformed and the protective
policy restored; has this promise not been
promptly fulfilled? He promised that the
country's money should be kept sound; has
there been any deterioration in the quality
or value of money? He promised that an
earnest effort should be made to bring
about international bimeta,iism: for months
past a commission composed of dis
tinguishcd bimetallists has been laboring
with the statesmen Of Europe in behalf Of
an international agreement. He promised
prosperity as the result Of Republican
policies to be inaugurated: business con-
fidence has been restored. industries have
revived and the people are enjoying
greater prosperity than they have known
1of many years. All tfis mas Deeh ac-
complishod-all these pledges redeemed, in
the amazingly short time of the first seven
months OF his administration.
In what respect has President Mckinley
failed in his obligations to the country?
How can such a record be ''rebuked"? II
the prompt redemption Of pledges and the
restoration OF business confidence and
prosperity are good grounds for popular
condemnation. then the Mckinley admin
istration may have suffered rebuke, but
not otherwise.
The falling OF in Republican maiorities
at last weeks elections is not attributable
to any general dissatisfaction with the ad-
ministration at Washington. But good
many thousand Republican voters in the
different states have been disappointed per-
sonally because the administration did not
perform an impossibility and appoint them
all TO office. There is where the dissatis-
faction came in, and that IL why the Re-
publican vote fell of. 1t is the same dis
satisfaction from which every president
suffers IN the elections following his in
auguration.

Opening Up the Yukon.

From the New York Sun.
The Dominion minister of the interior
Mr. Clifford Sifton, has made an official
statement of the governments policy in re-
gard to the Yukon placers. 1t is along the
irmemorial lines of colonial government.
lines which have had the effect of thrct-
ting In Canada as well as in Australia
and South Africa that rapid progress which
has attended the opening up of waste
places within the United States. Briefly,
instead of leaving to private initiative the
enterprises called for by the nature of the
case, the government itself will undertake
to supply them. Among other consequences
OF this policy competition at a later date
will be choked off and the development
OF the country permanently retarded. This
has been and is the universal story in
every time and place of government COLO
rial in form. Just as the colony itself leans
upon the mother country. so the individ-
ua' colonists are led to lean on their own
government for what they ought to do of
and for themselves.
