THREE hundred years ago Spain
 was mistress of the world. She owned all of South and nearly all
 of North A erica, and could have had the remainder if she had
 wanted it. Spanish territory
 included everything south of Sava- na on the east and San Francisco on the west. Mexico, Central America and the contiguous islands all the way down to Cape Horn. Charles v was the ruler in those days. His territory in Europe, Asia, Africa and America was about 100000 square miles, double that of the Czar of Russia. It wasn't in size alone that Spain was great. She was rich beyond computation. She is now one of the poorest nations in the world. Therefore various causes assigned for her decade nce. Some histori-

THE Eureka Springs Times- Echo has the following to say regarding the. congressional race which we heartily endorse: The campaign tor congress draws from us an expression, and in our opiuion we believe that we should support John N. Tillman in the race. We have the kindliesl feeling for the present incumbent, Hon. H. A. Dinsn. ore. but We have good rea- sons for believing that he should Do superceeded by Mr. TilIman. Special merit always receives com mendatiop at our hands, and if we dld not believe Mr. Tfllman a worthy successor to Mir. Dinsmore, we would be willing to support the latter. MT. Dinsmore has held office under the government for many years. He has not made d brilliant reputation, nor do we be- Heve that his place cannot be easily filled by another. We be- lieve in rotation in office, in every instance, unless the man shows a special fitness for the position, or is a power in the body in which he IS member. These qualities we do not believe Mr. Dinsmore possesses, and we unhesitatingIy endorse MT, Tillman's candidacy, who, although having held several minor offices in the gift of the pco- pie, and has proven himself q capable honest, painstaking official, will, we have every reason to be. lieve, prove himself an honor to the district he represents.

FROM all indications it now ap- appears that war between the United States-and Spain can hardly be avcrted. The president has yielded to the pressure for war very slowly. To plunge into war means a great deal; vast more than perhaps majority of our people are thinking about. and if it can yet be averted our people will be saved ot untold misery, grief and destruction.

FRANCHISE HAS RUN
New Company's Privilege Ex-
pireS Today.
NO EXTENSION GRANTED
Mayor Ross Wires the Build
ing Contractor

Today, May 1, the franchise of the
Church Ellis Street Car company, usu-
aIly spoken Of as the new company, ex-
pires. The contract Of the company to
nut in new cars and new tracks and the
other contract to furnish the city with
electric lights are covered by a bond OF
forfeit for $4,000, signed by reputable
Baltimore guaranty company. The toI-
lowing telegram came to Mayor Ross
from j. Holt Gates, the contractor, at
Chicago, who was to rebuild the entire
lines here and whatever extensions
might be decided upon:
Chicago, ILL.,, April q.
Mayor Ross, Wichita, Kan.
Can franchise and lighting contract be
arranged to be extended four months II
Church and Ellis. in New York, can
make satisfactory showing next week
that they can raise money to build? we
believe they can. Hope you can arrange
If. ]. HOLT GATES"
On Friday Mayor Ross telegraphed TO
Gates & Co. as follows:
wichita, Kan. April %.
81. Holt Gates & Co, Chicago, III.
mo extension will be granted.
"FINLAY ROSS, Mayor"
This appears to be conclusive as far as
concerns the new street railway. H. B.
Church, the president of the new COM
pany, has not formally asked the coun-
ell for an extension of franchise. He is
now in New York, and it Is not known
whether he will come to Wichita to look
after the matter further or not. The
next regular meeting of the council will
be week from tomorrow night.
Mana ging Superintendent w. Q. Church
was seen in his office late yesterday af-
ternoon, and asked what his company
would do.
''I am advised by H B. Church and
Mr.. Ellis, who are now in New York,
that if the council is disposed to extend
the franchise we will extend the bond
Of forfeit which the city now holds on
our account; or we will give an entirely
new bond, just as the city may desire"
Mr.. Church said 1--WE want to do the
fair thing in this matter. We want to
build the road, and I am confident that
if the present difficulty with Spain had
not come up we should now have had
the line built. 1t is easy to see how the
stringency Of the money market would
affect us when even it has stopped the
progress Of building and improvement
expenditures in Wichita. If these were
ordinary times there would be no excuse
for asking an extension Of the franchise
but no one will claim that the present
international difficulty is at all ordinary,
The council and city officials have been
disposed to treat us fairly heretofore
and with the prospect Of getting a new
street railway from us as quickly as
from any other source. I think there
ought to be some way to adjust the mat.

siastic support which Mr.. Stanley has re-
ceived in Southern Kansas. and the
kindly consideration shown his candidacy
in every portion of the state, which gives
hattering promise Of success. We COM
mend him as a man pre-eminently quail
flied for the position. Always an able and
ardent worker in the Republican cause;
identified with no faction; citizen
whose character during a residence with
US for a quarter of a century has been
without reproach, and we express our
earnest desire that he may receive the
nomination.
Seventh-Senator o. H. Bentley of this
city having until recently been a candi-
date for the nomination for congress from
the Seventh congressional district, and
the Republicans of this county having
favored his candidacy, had hoped that he
might be honored with the nomination;
but after the expression of the majority
of the Republicans of the district Of their
preference for the nomination of the Hon.
Chester I. Long. Mr.. Bentley has
Withdrawn from the contest, this con-
vention nevertheless desires to express
it's confidence in Mr.. Bentley and in his
fitness for the position to which he as
pired. He no longer desiring our sup

gate W. A. Belts addressed the conven-
ton in a lively way that elected much
applause. He said that the colored Re-
publicans of Kansas would have a candi-
date for a place on the state ticket, not
because he was black, but because they
had competnet men and the black Repub-
licans had always been loyal.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation recommended that the temporary
organization be made permanent, which
report was adopted without dissent.

cited in a humorous way mo. A." a

Three-fourths Of all the aches pains

circulation. The slow blood stream
gets choked with an accumulation of
waste matter that declares it's pres

bago, neuralgia and inability to sleep.
All these unnatural conditions can be
corrected and permanently done away
with by vigorously cleansing the blood
and regulating the tardy circulation
Paine'S celery compound is pre-emi-

other remedy.
There is nothing vague about the

by Paine'S celery compound and youch-

used it. 1t means, among other things
firmer nerves, cOmpleter digestion

secures these where other remedies
