ANOTHER FIGHT SETTLED.

Billy Sterne, of Topeka, got the plum,
and the United States marshal question
for Kansas is not only settled but also
some other things Of more Importance.
and settled not only to the satisfaction
of the people of Kansas but in the in
uerest of the Republican party. We
have had little sympathy with much of
the onslaught on Leland as an individ-
ual. His trouble has been a host of bar
nacles who have been hanging on to
him, and who in embarrassing him in
his work have caused the criticisms,
If not the ill-will of numerous staunch
representative and active Republicans
throughout the state. Those barnacles
are not of Leland's Matching, but are
of old-time development. Failing Of
sympathy or encouragement at the
hands of Senator Baker, they cOmbin-
ed for the purpose of forcing things
their way. There is but one power
which could successfully hold them at
bay, and that power did not rest in the
hands of Leland either as an executive
member of the national Republican
central committee or as state COM
mirteeman. lie has been more their
victim than boss. Leland's troubles,
largely have come through the men he
has had forced upon him as local aids
In his work for party success. They
have not been the proper local repre-
sentatives of the party, and so their
mistakes have been laid at Leland's
door. AS it has turned out, Senator
Baker and President Mckinley are
shown to be in full accord, as the more
observant and better posted Kansas
Republicans believed all along. Moth
ing has occurred outside of the talk
and schemes of the crowd alluded to,
to warrant any other conclusion. That
the Republican party Of Kansas is in
a fair way to be reorganiZed is evil
dent. Such reorganization is greatly
needed. A strong effusion of new blood
should be had, and if the next state
convention fails of supplying this want
or responding to this demand, we will
have an uphill job Of carrying the
state next fall. Ward heelers and town
ship loafers should be relegated as par
ty mana gers and their places filled
with a different stamp of Republicans,
with men who command the respect
and confidence of their respective COM
munities.

VERY CHEAP ADVERTISING.

The professional face smashers and
plug-ugIy FOUNDERS of the country are
working the Associated Press as an ad-
vertising medium in a way that is at
once trying to respectable people and
hard on the newspaper eXchequer. The
average pugilist is either the proprietor
or a member of some travelling theatri-
cal troupe, so-called- These brutes
fight once in a great while, but most Of
their time is put in blowing about their
burning desire to do up some other
bruiser. Their brags and threats are
always coupled with an ''if," and all
their talk back and forth is not for the
purpose Of arriving at any understand
ing which would result in fight, but
to keep themselves before the public
for the benefit of their travelling
troupes. AS some one puts it, the
word ''if'' occupies a large space in the
pugilistic lexicon these days. Mr.. Cor
bett would like to argue the point
again with Mr.. Fitzsimmons if there is
no kinetoscope around. Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons would be pleased to meet Mr.
Corbett if Mr.. Corbett will first meet
several other gentlemen. Mr.. Mccoy
would like a go with Mr.. Fitzsimmons
if Mr.. Fitzsimmons will take anu-fat
and a liver regulator and reduce him.
self to the middleweight class. MIR.
Fitzsimmons will accommodate Mr..
Mccoy if Mr.. Mccoy will fight coon
whom he has declared he will never
fight. And finally, the Hon John L.
Sullivan would like to do battle with
the champion, If the necessary training
did not condemn him to beastly state
of sobriety for several weeks. In short
the 'ifs" have it, and the meetings
stand adjourned.

SIMPLY HORRIBLE.

There il one side or interest pertain
ing 10 the government Of New York
City which Tammany cannot render
more inhuman or add TO its horror, and
that is in starving founding babes to
death. The entire civilized world will
stand aghast at the awful condition
and over the inhumanities of the found
ling asylums of that city as described
by the report Of a visiting committee
of the State Charities Aid Association.
According to the findings of this COM
mittee. there is a wholesale slaughter
of innocents who are murdered by the
horrible process of starvation. Only
three babies out of every hundred sent
to the asylum survive. The stream Of
young life which flows into that insti-
tuition is quenched from a lack Of nour-
Ishment and the little bodies are sent
In an Unending procession to the pot
ter's field. Ninety-seven per cent Of
all the abandoned little innocents and
of other babes Of misfortune die with
In few weeks after reaching Ran
dalrs Island. There is less Of humanity
In this than is found among the most
savage tribes. The awfulness Of it al
Is inconceiVable.

Our Leavenworth contemporaries con-
clusions are based on something more
solid than Mexican inspiration or wind
There has been a vast Improvement IN
the conditions of Mr.. Bryan's own
state, and within the period named oy
him. AS for Kansas, Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory, the internal rev.
enue receipts show evidences Of a splen-
did business prosperity. The increase
for the year 1897 is nearly Sl50,0OO over
1896. and most of this during the last
months of the year. Very little OF the
internal revenue of this district is col
lected on spirits, most of it is PAID on
manufactured articles, and it is true
indicator of the condition Of business
The increase for the last month OF the
year was especially gratifying, as IL
shows that the heavy volume of busl-
ness of the fall is keeping up ana con-
tains much hope for the future.

CALAMITY'S CHEF

Mr.. W. Jennings Bryan's recent trip
10 the land Of the Montezumas seems
TO have been depressing in its effects
upon the ebullient spirits of that opti-
mistic individual He is reported as
having talked but sparingly and dis
creetly to that surviving mixture OF
Spaniard and Aztec. commonly called
the Greaser. But he had hardly reach
ed Kansas before again starting his
mouth. His first observation was 10
the effect that there has been no inn
provement in the country within the
last eighteen months" In this remark
the late fusion candidate for president
was referring 70 this country. To the
United States of America The LeaN-
enworth Times does not agree with its
distinguished fellow citizen from Ne
braska in so far, at least. as the inclu-
sion of Kansas and Oklahoma in his
pessimistic observation are concerned

N. NJ. MURDOCH. Editor
CIVIL SERVICE PUNCTURED.

Grover CleveIand's coup d'etat, in the
phase of another French phrase, is
about to be Waterlooed with a hors de
Ia loi. In plain English slang, his civil
list is going to be knocked galley west,
and by the Republican party, under the
administration of President Mckinley.
The bill agreed upon by the house COM
mittee makes sweeping changes, among
other things providing for removals,
making a five year tenure, and in
general way, rendering it possible for
the party which may be in power 10
order and administer the government.
The replies and conclusions given by
the heads of departments when called
upon for their respective opinions and
experiences, touching the wisdom Of
Cleveland's action and the workings Of
the civil service rule were both inter
esting and amusing. Each thought 1T
likely that the law might work fairly
well in some Of the other departments,
but not in the one then in question.
The truth is, the law works satisfaction
nowhere. It relieves the heads of ad-
ministrative bureaus and of minor po-
sitions, as well as the president himself
of the perplexing responsibility Of MAX
ing appointments to place. When that
is said all is said. There is just as
good fish in the sea as were ever
caught Republicans can fill those for
ty thousand places, stolen by Cleveland,
just as well as the Democrats who got
them. It would be ridiculous to hold
otherwise. The subordinate who can
hold his place in spite of his superior
is not going to give first class service
in every instance. The detail work Of
the government of the United States
under its present Republican admins
tration is practically in the hands Of
Democrats. These Democrats are, indi-
vidually, just as good, faithful and
competent, probably, as Republicans
would be, but their political convic-
tions and interests are against the par
ty which is responsible for their acts
and work The new bill, if it becomes
a law. will. eliminate from the civil ser
wise list all employees and officials who
receive less than $500 per annum and
all who receive more than double that,
leaving the law to apply, principally, to
clerks in Washington and in the gov
ernment service in large cities.

1T IS NOT TRUE.

The free trade organs are fighting
hard to make a showing against the
Dingley bill, and that times, instead of
being better under a Republican ad-
ministration, are really harder. The
claim that everything we eat and wear
is from 10 to 100 per cent higher, but fail
to bring forward the proof or name the
items. 1t is a fact that -four and hides
and butter and nearly everything pro-
duced by the farmer are somewhat
higher. But the American farmer gets
the benefit and the result is he has
more to spend, which has bettered busl-
ness and trade conditions generally. IL
is the first lift the farmer has had IN
wears and everybody feels the effect.
of course the present administration is
compelled to raise eleven and half
million dollars more, annually, TO pay
the interest on the bonds issued by old
cleveland to his Wall street syndicate.
Rut despite that fact the revenues are
more than equalling the expenditures
at the present time. They did not, un-
der Cleveland Higher prices mean
more work and better wages, more
money in circulation, greater purhcas-
ing power on the part of the laborer,
larger demand and greatly Increased
consumption and prosperity all around,
