What the People Ave Saylng.

What the People Are Saying.
The intelligent, thoughtful voter is
very little sought after in this city
campaign; 1t is the ignorant, irrespon-
sible voter that engages the atten-
ton of the managers and so-called
politicians.
Campaign slush funds are as open
ly put up as money would be to invest
in any legitimate undertaking. Men
who would resent as an Insult the
charge of corrupting the voter by the
use of money subscribe to these so
called campaign funds, perfectly Sc
rene in their consciences that 1.-The
otter fellow" does the dirty work
The oath of Office has no terror for
the successful candidate who has
actually paid his money for a place
on a ticket; and yet that oath of office
excludes any one who has given. or
promised to give any money or valU-
able thing to influence n voter direct
ly or indirectly.
The purchase of a place on ticket
is equivalent to offering to buy an
office. As long as this character of
political corruption is tolerated by the
people just so long will our local
governments be given over to the
spoilsmen.

The best authori tiles iu Cuba think
Weyler's campaign in the present
@1cf" season will be as bad a failure
as were his demonstrations in the
past. Spaniards on the island as
we'll as in Spain are beginning to
realize the insurgents are steadily
growing stronger, and that the
"chances of the government to regain
ats authority IN the dieaffected PROV
auces, which comprise the greater
past OF the island, are hopeless. The
government feels that an acknowl.
edgement of defeat would instantly
upset the Ministry, and might even
overthrow the dynasty, and pretend
to feel confident of success, but.
fcom present indications, that con-
aession can not be put off much

Determined Effort Made to Get the Youngers
from Minnesota Prison.
st. Paul, Mimi, July 2-The e.-
fort to secure the pardon OF the
Younger boys for the part they took
in the famous Northfield raid of q
score OF years ago has taken such
shape that it is to be formally
brought before the State Board of
Pardons at it's meeting on July IL
Cole ana Jim Younger have served
twenty-one years in the penitentiary
at Saltwater, period as long as
the average life sentence. and a pow
erful influence in their behslf il to
be exertei. They have baen e1em
plsry prisoners, neither having had
a single mark against him during all
that period. and the claim will be
made that both have expiated their
crime and ara entitled to a chance in
the world. Cole is SO and Jim is 40
years old.
In anticipation of the efforts for
pardon, Cole has decided to break
his silence and reserve oa the sub.
ject OF the raid, steadily maintained
ever since his capture, and will make
q statement before the board. He
will disclose the part he and Jim
played in the raid aud attempt to
show that the blood of Cashier Hey
wood is not on his bands. In Mis-
souri,, where the Youugers came
from, they have legions of friends
aud their petitions are signed by
everybody of onseauepce from the
governor and judges down. The
prison officials are likely to give the
Youngers clean bill of health before
the state board.

PRETTY EXPENSIVE"
Dingiey's = OPINION Of the Senate Tariff
Debate.

Dingiey's OPINION Of the Senate Tariff
Debate.
Washington, D. c.. July Com
nenting upon the slow progress
being made by the senate in dispos-
ing of the tariff bill, Chairman Ding.
ley of the house ways and means
committee said to day:
ut is pretty expensive talk. 1t
is costing the government 500, 900
a day 10 revenues"
Figuring On this basis, it has cost
the country sl5,O00,OoO for the SEN
ate to amend and consider the bill
since it passed the house.
The bill was passed by the house
on March 81, and WAS received by
the senate the next day. For thirty
three days the senate finance COM
mittee held it, This involved loss
OF $6.6O0,000, and much of the
labor OF the committee was useless
for the house rates which they de
sired to change have in many cases
been restored.
The committee reported the bill
to the senate on May 4, but it was
twenty one days later when the de.
bate began. This discovery OF or.
rors in the comparative statement of
imports and revenu.s that accom-.
panied the bill.
The debate began on May Is. To
hear the senators talk and to allow
them to place themselves on record
before their constituents has cost the
country s7,40O,OOO during the thirty
seven days Inclusive of five SUNDAYS
that have elspzei since the debate
commenced
So, taking Mr.. D;ngley's g estimate
OF the amount that the importers
have gained and the government has
lost through the slowness of the
senate, it appears that it will run up
to mere than S2O,OO0,OOO before the
bill becomes q law.
Most of this loss has been sheer
wastefulness, for the senate will
finally adopt the bill in :ticslly
the same shape ss it Taseed the
house.

Sugar Rounty.

Washington, D. c., July 6-The
Republican Senatorial caucus this
morning decided to abandon the
sugar bounty amendment to the
tariff bill.
1t was the opinion that pushing a
sugar bounty provision at this time
would delay the passage of the tariff
bill for weeks, and for this reason it
was agreed to drop it. An under.
standing was reached, however. to
take up the subject at the beginning
OF the regular session in December,
when the sugar bounty would be
made q party question.

Western Kansas Cooked,

Hot Wlnde, dust and sand storms
did its work toward destroying the
corn crop in a number of counties in
western Kansas Thursday and Fri
day of last week. The dispatches
from the stricken belt. report the
crop entirely DESTROYED causing the
loss of thousands of dollars to the
farmers The wheat was too far ad :.
vanced to be injured. but the harvest
hands were driven form the fields
by the intense heat. In the towns
the merchants were forced to c'ose
their stores and business was entire.
ly suspended because of the unbear.
able heat The corn crop in Pawnee
and Barton COUNTIES is reported to
be entirely destroyed.
As samples of the destruction
wrought by hot winds read the fol-
lowing dispatches and then thank
God you live in Bates county and
not in western Kansas:
Larned, Kan, July 2.-Hot winds
swept over this county in a terrific
gale today. Clouds OF dust, sand
and gravel filed the air. Business
houses were closed and all business
was practically suspended. Harvest
hands were driven out of the fields,
being unable to cut or stack the
grain.
Fields of corn that looked green
this morning are cooked and destoy.
ed, and the corn crop of this county
is practically ruined. No rain has
fallen hero for more than four weeks
and the earth is parched and dry.
The destruction of the corn crop
means the loss of many thousands
OF dollars to the farmers of this
county. Should rain come now it
would ba too late to do the corn any
good, but would have tendency to
cause still greater loss to the wheat
fields by reason Of the further delay
it would oceason the harvester.
Great Bend. Kan, July 2.-Fierce
hot winds are blowing over this sec
tion OF the state to day, burning
cane, millet, fruit and in fact all veg
citation. The wind il from the
south vest and is very hot. Corn is
for the most part backward and if
Barton county has any corn this
year, it will be due to this fact alone.
az corn that is tasseled cut is entire
ly burned. Unless there be rain
within the next four days all corn
will 60, especially if the hot winds
keep up. This will also cause short
age in rough feed for the winter.
All harvest crews in this county were
laid off to day on account OF tho
wind.

The case OF State ex rel Atty
Genl vs. Geo. 81. Page, a proce sd-
ing to oust the defendant Page from
the Office of City Marshal of the city
OF Rich Hill, was decided by the
Supreme Court last Tuesday. It
will be remembered that A. E.
Beatty and George H. Page ran for
City Marshal in Rich Hill at the
April election. Page received a
few more votes than Beatty, and the
city council declared him to be
elected and granted him his certif-
cate of election and commission,
although objection was made to the
effect that Page was not eligible to
the Office, because he was in arrears
fcr unpaid city taxes on the day of bis
election. Then taxes were paid the
day after election, but, under the
opinion of Judge Sherwood, the
payment came too late and the in
formation filed by Mr.. Beatty's at.
torneys in the name of Attorney
General Crow was held good, and q
writ OF custer awarded against Mr..
Page. The City Council will prob.
ably order special election, and in
the meantime MIR. Beatty will con-
tinue to be city marshal, as he has
legally been since the April election.
s. W. Dooley and w. W. Graves
represented Mr.. Beatty, and w. O..
