lea is Going to Play the Wolf. and the
French Seem to BE Prepared In Ad-
vance to Cast Its sympathy on the side
of the Lamb.

Paris, Sept. 2s.-While the reception
accorded the United States peace COM
mission here is all that could be de-
sired, and while the French foreign
Office has taken great pains to treat
the American and Spanish commits
sioners in precisely the same manner,
1t must be admitted that the general
atmosphere of Paris, especially the
diplomatic atmosphere, does not in
cline towards America.
The Prevailing Impression.
1t is the general impression here
that the American commissioners have
instructions to provide for the reten-
ton of Manila and the island of Luzon.
And for commission to pretend to
negotiate is a farce" said prominent
diplomat. He continued:
America will put herself, diplo-
matically, in the wrong when she ex-
ceeds the provisions of the protocol
which both nations signed. i know
the Spaniards have come to make con-
cessions; but, if the Americans in
structions are of an uncompromising
nature, which is generally believed
here to be the case, you can rest as
sured that the work of the commits
sion will be futile. The Spaniards
viii retire. and America will at least
have to threaten a resumption of hos
tilities before she will gain her
point"
The Newspapers Non-Committal.
The French newspapers, beyond an
nouncing the arrival of the commits
sioners, make no comment upon the
matter.
The American commissioners, for
the first time since their appointment,
met as body for two hours in the
drawing room of the Continental
hotel.
Mr.. Ferdinand Peck, the United
States commissioner to the Paris expo
sition of 1900, is about to vacate his
quarters in the same hotel. They were
formerly occupied by the ex-Empress
Eugenia. and have been used by Mr..
Peck as offices until his permanent Of
fees, on the exposition grounds, were
In readiness.
The American OniciaI Headquarters.
The suite of rooms which the for
mer empress at one time used will
probably be acquired by the American
peace commission. They will be used
for executive sessions and official
headquarters.
AS the joint commission is not de-
Lucrative body, it will possibly not
organize with a presiding member
from either commission.
This is deemed in some quarters to
be the wiser plan, as tending to pro-
mote closer working relations between
the two commissions and facilitating
an ultimate adjustment. This, how
ever, is not positive.
The Commissioners Private Quarters
Judge Day and Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
are quartered at hotel overlooking
the Tulleries gardens, and the other
commissioners are equally comforta-
bic.
The Americans enjoyed sunny wealth
er during their first day in Paris, and
they are all in good health and spirits.
The French government is arrang-
ing to provide at the salon, where the
joint sessions of the commissions will
be held, an elaborate buffet daily for
the use of all the commissioners.

THERE is a practical unanimity of
opinion in the State house, concerning
the metropolitan police system. The
only exceptions 50 far as known are those
in the governors office, Even the pop
ulist members Of the supreme court
were willing to express their convictions
to the public that the system should be
abolished Not only is every member
of the executive council, except Cover
nor Leedy, known to be opposed to 1t,
but all but two have so expressed
themselves in very strong terms and
those two would doubtless have done so
but for the fact that they were absent
when the Journal reporter went his
rounds for interviews on the subject.
Besides these, very many of the ap-
polntive officers expressed themselves
freely the same way, and none inter
viewed were in favor of 1t. This police
law is a measure Of republican con
struction, entirely reDugnant to our
theory of local self-gOvernment, and
corrupting in Its nature. 1t has been
the same under every administration
since it was established, whether repub
lican or pOpulist and has been the
means Of securing majority against
each successive administration, respon-
sible for the appointment Of these Off
GERS in the cities affected by the law.
Governor Leedy would do we'll to ex-
ercise his option to dismiss all these
boards.

presence Of back bone and integrity to
push the fight, the people have got a
show. The greatest of his victories
was probably accomplished last Satur-
day when The New York Life Insur-
anceCO., paid the Hillman claim in full
with interest and asked again to be
admitted to do business in Kansas
The case was again about to 90 to trial
and the company evidently thought
that with writ Of custer against the
company from the Supreme Court they
had no show to win the case and would
better settle and save costs This case
is one that has been in court since 1879
and is one of the most famous of its
kind In history, having been tried FIVE
times and each time the jury disagreed.
The public feeling was generally with
Mrs. Hillman, who was poor woman,
and finally McNall revoked the IL
censes of the companies in which he
was insured. HencefOrth the cOmpa-
MES will bow low, speak we'll and be

AT LAST an honest and determined
auditor has succeeded, after much
sharp prOdding, in getting a report, not
only out of the present coal oil in
spector, but out of his predecessor, KEEL

Morrill,. This office has always been
considered 1.-THE Doodle position" un-

quires the inspector to make semi. an

sists that it also requires monthly re =
ports. Goal Oil'' Taylor it IS stated
never made any report and did not turn
in any fees. Kelley, Morrill's ap-
pointee, turned over about 5000, but
neglected making his last report, until
a few days ago when he was brought
to time by Auditor Morris, reported
and turned over Sl,198.38. Wharton
the present inspector, also made his re-
port and turned in 5000 for 5 months.
This shows up faVorably for the popu-
lists and Captain Morris is entitled to
the earnest praise Of the people. He
followed the only popular officer in the
Morrill, administration and has on that
account perhaps the hardest office Ia

being good officer, but he did little in
this matter of coal oil reports. He

some Of the opponents to the bills re

would think so. However, the opinion

Advocate and News to reply to It's ar
ticle stating that charges are being
made by leading populists against Ger.
tain of their acts and management Of

the form of general denial and court
ing investigation. This, under the
circumstances, is Of course all THAT they
could do. So as it now stands, charges
are made and denied and the matter
Is in about the same condition as be-
fore. If anyone has any specific lnfor-
nation, charges should he regularly

If not it is but fair that criticism

THE News in a very weak way last
Saturday, though in about a column
article, attemps what we had supposed
as unattemptable, the defense of the
county commissioners in letting the
county printing to the News at rates
enormously above those in the bids of
the GAZETTE and Bee. Its first and
principal argument is that the tax lists,
which we might add are about two.
thirds or three-fourths of the county
printing is repaid to the county and it
therefore does not matter at what rate
it is let. In reply to this we will say
that very large part of this tax list is
composed of old town lots in boom ad
ditiOns to town sites that are not worth
the taxes and are never sold. So the
county is not refunded the money paid
the printer. But what if the county is
repaid! The people who have delin-
quent taxes, and usually they are the
poorest class. have 1t to pay. The rates
charged BY the News for the rest Of the
printing is not particularly exOrbitant.
the News bid was fifty per cent of le-
gal rates. The GAZETTE bid was forty
per cent But on the tax lists the
News bid was full legal rates while the
GAZETTE bid was only sixty per cent
of legal rates This is mighty thin
defense and the News would have bet
ter kept quiet. 1t is only making mat
ters worse.
