WHILE Republicans ara raving
about the matter in which Gov. Leedy
expends his contingent fund, it will
be of interest to know how Morrill, ex-
pended his. One item shows that
SI26 80 was paid to Speaker Lobdell
for appointing investigating commit
tees. These com mmittees were appoint.
ed to oust Populists from Office and
make places for political henchmen.
Instead of appointing committees al
home and mailing the list to the Gov
ernor, as he could very easily have
done, Mr.. Lobdell came to Topeka to
announce the committees. For this
ork he charged for six days time at
$500 per day and mileage at Is cents
per mile from Dighton to Topeka and
return, making total of 726 miles
travelled to perform duties which
could have been as we'll performed by
the use of two cent postage stamp.
Gov. Morrill, allowed and paid this
claim out of his contingent fund.
Gov. Leedy's payments have all been
made tor the purpose of aiding in
fights which are made for the benefit
of the whole people.

THE GOOD NEWS.

Nothing could be more appropriate
that the presentation of a silver cup
to the captain of the Coptic from the
citizens of Honolulu. Every one will
call to mind the poem of who car
ried the good news to Ghent," and
also will remember that when the
poet was questioned as to what the
good news" was he did not know.
Captain Sealby did know what his
news was and he came into the har-
Dor with cOlors flying and ship dress
ed in gayest fashion. And it was good
news; news that we had been wait
ing for for years; news that the edi-
tor of this paper has been working
for eighteen years.

COLLAPSE.

SPANS reverses are coming thick
and fast The main portion of the
boosted Spanish navy either lies at
the bottom of the sea or upon the
beaches of Cuba or Manila. Two
American Admirals have covered their
country's name with glory, and every
United States officer and seaman
shares in the glory. Never in the his
nal victories been won. The crushing
blows delivered upon Spain will take
rank with the defeat of the Spanish
Armada, with the battles of st, VIM
cent, Abounltir Bay and the immortal
Trafalgar.
Our-it is right for The Star to say
our now-success is due to the
training and discipline of the navy
which has been created within the
past few years. But the human ma
terial for that navy has existed as
long as the United States has existed,
and came to that country as a legacy
from the northern ancestry which
first peopled the rugged and inhospi-
table shores of New England.
After all, as we say of race horse,
blood will tell The Anglo-Saxon
started from the north with every
thing against him. When the Euro
pean world expanded and spread to
| the mighty western continent, the
! Anglo-SaXon took what seemed the
barren and inhospitable, while the
Latin took the fruitful and luXuriant.
But once again blood told, and the
| Anglo-SaXon patiently built up a
state from small beginnings, which
has become one of the mightiest
among the mighty, and the Latin,
with everything in his favor, has
built up nothing but failure. The
history of Spain in the New World, as
we are pleased to call it, Is a history
of misrule and intolerance, of cruelty,
and of great capacity misused. The
| mighty force OF different civilization
and of a different race and blood has
met her and has driven her back to
Anglo-SaXon has ever been her foe
from the days of the Black Prince to
the days of Sampson and Dewey, the
Don has had eventually to give way
before the northern blood and the free
institutions which breed MEN.
