TELLs WHAT ATLED THEM.

VIM. r. Hearst in a signed article in
his paper, the New York Journal, tells
the members of his party how it hap
pened in the following plain language:
It is both right and reasonable that
the administration which, despite it's
mistakes, carried this glorious war to a
successful conclusion, should receive a
vote Of confidence. Tt is both right
and reasonable that the policy of ex-
pansion, ever the policy of the Ameri-
can people since Jefferson annexed the
Louisianas, should receive the approval
OF the American voters Republican and
Democratic.
The Democratic national leaders have
been narrow and stupid beyond belief
and the Journal and Examiner have
warned them time and again Of the in
eVitable results of their stupidity. The
Democratic press and the Democrats in
congress urged and brought on the war
but the Democratic leaders, under the
control Of Bailey, Influenced by petty
jealousy, forced the Democratic party
into an attitude of opposition to the
very war they had brought on; forced il
further into an attitude of opposition
to the Democratic policy of expansion,
to the very principles of Jefferson the
father of the American Democracy
The suicidal attitude of the Demo-
cratic leaders began with opposition to
the annexation of Hawaii. These lead
ers purposed' driving a Democratic con-
gresS into caucus to oppose annexa-
tive editors to Washington, fought this
caucus, broke it up. and prevented the
Democracy from making a. formal and
conspicuous ass of itself on that OCca-
sion. But the narrOwness of the lead
ers continued, and developed a. tendency
to oppose every Republican act, even
though it embodied Democratic prin-

Albert Griffin Has a Plan to
Freeze Out Saloons.
1t is Along the Line of Moral
Suasi0n TO Men.
STARTS A REVIVAL
At Wellington For Sumner
COunty-Will Extend
To Make an Old Fashioned
Temperance Campaign.

wellington, Nov. 15.-Albert Griffin
delivered a temperance lecture to tenn
perance workers in the M. E. church of
this city, in which he unfolded a plan
for a new temperance movements
great temperance revival throughout
Kansas and adjoining states. 1t is along
the line of moral suasion. 1dr. Griffin
mentions that, when Kansas adopted
prohibition and turned the enforcement
of the law over to officials elected for
that purpose her people ceased to ap-
peal to the individual for total abstin-
ence and that evidence is everywhere
apparent to show that tipping has in
creased very rapidly. He estimates that
so per cent of the men are tipplers and
that so per cent of the women drink
more or less, and in consequence he
sounds a note Of warning and calls a
halt.
He shows that law enforcement at the
hands of any political party has become
a farce, and claims that the times are
ripe for an old time temperance revival
in which the individual will be appealed
to regulate his personal conduct. Moth
ing whatever in the new movement Will
be said about the enforcement of law.
1t will be strictly a campaign of moral
suasion. Old fashioned temperance lee
turers will come to the front and in
diViduals will be asked to make a per-
sonal covenant with themselves to
abstain from the use of intoxicating
liquor. of all kinds as beverage, for
five years, from January 1, 1899, or for
life, at his option.
A meeting of temperance workers was
held again in the afternoon and the in
itiatory steps were taken for organizing
Sumner county The agitation will be
pushed. Mr.. Griffin will visit other
counties as fast as is desired, and he
can reach them.

Wichita, Nov. 15.-FuIIer Rhodes, who

When seen by a reporter he said:
Eyes, sir, took some horses. I took a
horse belonging to Mr.. Bolton, who lives
near Clearwater. I did other things
which I have confessed to the officers.
After stole the horse from Mr.. Bolton
I left here and went to Dakota. That
was in 1893. Two years afterward I got
tired of being bounded by the officers
and an offended conscience. I Joined
the Salvation Army and wrote the sher-
iff of Sedgwick county from Jamestown,
South Dakota, and told him all I had
done. I told him I was tired of being
a criminal, a fugitive from the law, and
that if they wanted me was at James,

made a conscientious attempt. We had
all the machinery of the law back of us,
but the joints were not closed. Still
do not like the idea of the Iegalized sa.-
loon. The 1egalized saloon is monster,
a constituencies monster. Give it the
license of law, and it dominates politics,
and rides rough shod over good morals,
over the votes of decent people"
wouldn't it be better, after all, to
give the people home rule and hold the
prohibitory law over the joints as a
menace? Then if they get too gay APP
ply the law. And, by the way, they
got just a little bit gay in this cam
paign. Indeed they got SO gay that
they drove temperance people to my

Kansas Regiment in Cuba Suffering

The Kansas colored soldiers who are
at San Luis de Cuba are not finding life
in Cuba one continual round of pleas
ure, according to a letter which has Just
been received at the adjutant generals
office from Nelson w. Marshall, SER
geant major of the Twenty-third Kan
sas regiment. In the letter Sergeant
Major Marshall among other things
says:
"There is a great deal of sickness
among the soldiers here. Some COM
panies have as many as forty on the
sick list They all seem to lose their
strength Men who were strong and
hearty on arriving here are now shad-
ows They are not able to do a third
OF the work they were when they left
Topeka. Our food is very bad and not
much Of it at that.
Il do not think that the men ought to
be kept here more than so days longer,
for they will go pretty fast IN the next
30 days. The Ninth Louisiana inn

before we did, lose from one to three
men a day and have so far lost about
200 men. Company B, of the Nlnth'
