The democratic press i'll these
times of progress seems TO be an
arena for intellectual acrobatics.
The Spanish war has not only ex-
banded our territory but the results
have broadened our policies. The
democrats have. built new plat
forms to bridge over every imagin-
airy chasm in their cropping to block
the progress of administrator.
They have themselves fallen
through the defective planks Of
their own policy at every progress,
sive step No power on earth can
nullify the plebiscitum that en-.
forces expan sion under the fateful
conditions of the present. The
plank Of democratic policy against
expansion had to be removed be.
fore it was fairly framed They
replaced this plank with one after
another, each to be crushed in re
turn by the wheel of progress
The democratic party has displayed
in years past formidable strength
IN the rAaning-tight policy of op
posing the government but thii
era of progress has RIM the ole
party down before it rallied an,
considerable force OH singl,
plank of its new platform.

The general prosperity that pre-
walls in the farming community is
liable to relax business energies.
The wheat crops Of this year and
last have been exceptionally profit
able. This condition has a tend

In this general policy lies the dan

markets for wheat have worldwide
dependencies, and are beyond local
control. The wheat business is
delusive; its hazards multiply

A SORRY CROWD.
Little Batch of Topeka Populist Po13-
ticians Won't "Denounce"
Leedy, Now.

Gov. Leedy will not be denounced"
by the Populist county convention
which is in session in Topeka this after
noon.
When the delegates were elected there
was a pronounced sentiment in favor
. of 'tdenouncing'' the governor boldly,
but that sentiment has apparently been
smothered. The resolutions, as they
have been prepared, denounce the met
ropolitan police system, and that is as
far as they go in opposition to the poll
cy of Gov. Leedy. They keep close to
the usual lines followed by Populist
conventions everywhere
The change in the attitude of the
Populist leaders on the question of in
dorsing or criticising Gov. Leedy is due
almost wholly to the war agitation. Sew
eral of them want positions, and if they
allow any radical action they figure
that it would destroy their chances of
appointment
Then the appointment of H c. Lind
sew who was one of the 'kickerS, as
a major, is salve to their wounds. 1t
would not be surprising if resolution
is presented indorsing Gov. Leedy's ad-
ninistration.
The anti-Leedy faction had agreed
upon Bank Commissioner John w Bret
denthal for temporary chairman of the
convention. President Billiard of the

New York: Sentiment is playing a very
important part in the current stock spec
ulation In all the securities markets a
more confident temper undoubtedly exists
Whether it could Withstand the test of
moderate adversely cannot be known at
once, but that it is now here was shown
in all of the markets yesterday. The
strength of the stock speculation
communicated to the markets for railway
and government securities. The larger
houses that make speciality of dealing
in governments report a better tone and
a well distributed over the country bust
ness. An easier feeling with regard to
the future of the money market is mainly
accountable for the strength of the mar
kets. So far the immediate money
market is concerned there is no change to
note. The ease in he London money
market cannot yet be relied upon as being
permanent, as the payment of the Chinese
indemnity to Japan is close at hand and
there is more of an expectation that
Greece may soon be a borrower in Lon
don.

LEAN TO SPAIN.
German Newspapers Partial to Span
ish Version of Events

New York, April 30-As long as the
fighting in Cuba was between the Span
iardS and the native insurgents, the
German press habitually gave no cred
ence to. the official Spanish reports of
Spanish victories, says the Berlin cor
respondent of the World:
Now that the choice is between the
acceptance of the Spanish and Ameri-
can reports, an ostentatious attempt is
made here to cast doubt upon American
accounts of events and to accept as
veraciOus the reports from Madrid.
The National Zeitung says: Neither
the opinion nor the belief of the Ameri-
can officers on the results of the bonn
bardment of Matanzas will be accept
ed.
1t is amusing to watch the absurd eff
forts of the newspapers here to mini
mize the Importance of American oper-
atiOnS.

SHORT OF COAL.
There is a Scarcity For Naval
Use in European Markets.

the Herald from Cadiz says: 1.-THE
Spanish government a little while ago
sent to Gibraltar to buy all possible
coal. This amounted from three firms
to about 5000 tons, coal being very
scarce owing to the Welsh strike. The
price was ~ shillings, instead of the US
ual % shillingS.
New York, April SO.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Tangier says: The
Spanish government has purchased 500
tons of coal from a French company.
1t was all that could be got.
The English are short of coal for the
arrival of the channel fleet on Monday.
Owing to the strike, they could only
manage to get 800 tons.

ed D. F. Neiswender, a farmer from
Menoken, but he refused to be a candi-
date, and when Commissioner of Elec-
lions L. T. Yount, a Leedy delegate,
moved that the election of Mr.. Breiden-
thai be made by reclamation, there was
not an opposing vote.
When Mr.. Breidenthal was conducted
to the stand, he made an address which
was frequently interrupted by applause.
He declared that the party was not or
ganized to get office.
Mr.. Breidenthal touched the question
of opposition to Gov. Leedy. He said:
Il understand that there is some SEN
timent here with reference to certain
men. While it is essential that the acts
of public officials of our party should be
held up and scrutinized and criticised,
if necessary, 1 would beg of you not to
permit the differences with reference to
men to interfere with your work in the
cause of reform.
IF you do, you are not worthy of the
name Populist.'
j. U. Hughes was then elected secre-
tary and C. H. Kutz assistant secreta-
ry. The convention then took recess
without appointing any committees, to
await the arrival of farmer delegates
who had been delayed by the rain.

A RUSH FOR THE FAIR
In More Senses Than One-La-
dies Wanted to Lend
Their Aid.

Chairman D. ]. Greenwald of the
Auditorium Midsummer Fair commit
tee has already received several appH-
cations from people who want to man
age entertainments. He says that he
did not consider the applications from
the fact that the committee is not yet
organized. The actual preparations
for the big fair should not be delayed
any longer than necessary.
Mr. Greenwa1d will make an effort to
enlist the interest of the women of To-
peka and the Woman's Federation will
be expected to contribute it's influence
to the project. The ladies of the feder-
alton have shown Willingness to do
something to help build the auditorium
In conversation about interesting the
In conversation about interesting the
women of Topeka in the Fair, Chair
man Greenwald said today: 1T would
be useless to try to make success of
thing of this kind without the help of
the women. Something must be done
to secure their cooperation.
Another thing about Fair of this
kind is that all help must be cOntribu-
ted. If we pay out large sums for help
we could not make anything. The peo-
pie should be willing to give their ser
vices to make the Fair success
Chairman Greenwald is aVerse to
taking the active management of the
Fair, though he will not be released
from the Craftsmanship of the commit
tee. It is probable that the Women's
active management for that would be
in line with the ideas of Mr.. Green
wald.
There are less than two months left
in which to get ready for the Fair.
Every day of that time can be well
utilized in completing the arrange
mentS.
All who have discussed the Fair or
who have given it much thought are
unanimously of the opinion that it
must be held in Garfield park. The
park will be in excellent condition by
that time and there should be no diff
Guilty in making a satisfactory arrange
ment with MarshalPs band which now
controls the park.
The committee should go to work at
once. 1t should be known as soon as
possible who is to be the active man
agement of the Fair so that the details
may be commenced. There is no time
to lose.

Spondent of the Herald. Official dispatches
from Admiral Sampson received at the
navy department tell briefly of the bonn
bardment. The only explanation he makes
for the attack on the Matanzas fortifica-
tons is that he discovered the Spaniards
were erecting heavy guns there and he
deemed it expedient to demolish them
He adds that the Puritan will be sent
back to Matanzas with orders to destroy
any new batteries that may be construct
ed.
