NEXT THEATRICAL ATTRACTION.

Thursday evening William Barry
will appear at the Grand in The Ris-
ing Generation" Mr.. Barry may be
fairly considered among the best OF
our comedians. Indeed, in his por-
trayal of the American Irishman, who
retains the warmth, the wit, the ma
tive humor of his native land impreg-
mated bv the customs and the peculiar
conditions of America. he is without
peer Mr.. Barry's Irishman, is the
resultant product of its associations.
1t Is the common man raised through
circumstances above himself warm
hearted, hasty of temper and not lack
ing in the grossness which necessarily
belongs to such a person.

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Alderman Jones Elects His Dele
gates--A Triangular Fight for
school Directorship,

Hon. S. S. Jones had no trouble in
electing the delegates in the Second
ward, which makes him sure of the
nomination for another term in the
office he now holds.
w. r. Moon, j. III. Raynor and Henry
Berry were participants in the biggest
scrap of the day. Mr.. Moon Is a mer-
chant; Mr. Raynor teller of the Miners
Mechanics bank and Mr.. Berry
runs little confectionery store on
Belmont street. Each seeks to succeed
j. NJ. Alexander on the school board
as representative of the First, Second,
Fifth and Sixth wards. Mr.. Raynor
failed to carry his own ward, but to the
casual observer he stands on equal
ground with the other aspirants. Each
has four delegates outside OF the Sec
ond ward men. Who they will vote
for no one pretends to know, but |
have 1t pretty direct that they will
support Mr.. Moon, who has the en-
dorsement of the Prohibitlonists and
the Citizens caucus. As the nomina
tion is tantamount to an election. il
will be seen that all depends upon the
convention tonight.
This night has been the development
OF opposition to the Hendrick ring, as
1t Is called, To make 1t plain: Mr..
Raynor was formerly employed at the
Hendrick works. W. II. Colville, a SON
in-law OF Mr.. Hendrick, Is school di-
rector. 1t is argued that if Mr.. Ray
nor is elected 1t will be case of two
men with single thought. This
should not be interpreted as meaning
that Mr.. Colville's school policy is not
good, nor that Mr. Raynor is incapa BILE
of thinking for himself, but great
many voters believe that the best in
terests of school affairs demand more
diversity.
In this connection ii may as well be
said that it was owing to Mr.. RAY
nor's real or supposed connection with
the aforementioned ring that the select
council refused 10 confirm Mayor Hem
drick's appointment of him as a MEM
ber of the board of health a couple of
years ago.
As far as can be learned the dele
gates elected will nominate James
Thompson for select council of the
sixth ward and Harry Williams and
s. Robbins for commoners

Opened Missionary Fields.

One result Of the Spanish war be-
gun and fought for the good Of hui
manity is to open vast field to
Christian missionaries. 1t has made
it safe for the bearers of the Word to
90 into the lands where heretofore
has been darkness and heathendom.
1t is a glorious heritage for the
church and it is the duty of every be-
lever in missionary effort to endorse
President Mckinley in this great work
and to uphold his hands for further
effort. The glorious result Of the
war has opened new ways for the
church and made new fields ripe fol
the outstanding efforts Of this and
other Christian nations. 1t i'll be-
comes men like Congressman Vincent
and Gov, Leedy to sheer at the con-
quest for humanity and to sympath.
ize with that sentiment which favors
lowering the stars and stripes and
would turn the newly acquired terri
tory back to the darkness Of heathen-
dom.

"Mr Stanley's manly and unstained
character, his charming personality

Some Reasons for the Voter.

The Republican party appeals to
the people Of Dickinson county and Of
Kansas for their suffrage next month
because
1t is the party Of the people.
1t has accomplished all the great
moral reforms in national affairs In
the past forty years.
1t was the first party to literally
demonstrate the great truth Of thu
Declaration Of Independence that "al
men are born free and equal" in max
ing citizens Of the colored people.
1t has taken care OF the soldiers
who fought in its war to rid this ma
ton Of the awful reproach Of slavery,
1t has given this country a tariff
which has protected American work
ingmen and made them home owners
and house builders.
1t has preserved honest money and
prosperity for the nation. =
1t has fought second war for hui
mainly and won it gloriously.
1t has annexed the Hawaiian Islands
and practically given us control Of
the Pacific.
1t proposes the expansion that the
greatness Of the nation makes imper-
alive and the valor OF our soldiers has
earned.
1t will construct the Nicaragua
canal that the eastern and western
ends Of our territory may be brought
nearer and enjoy the benefits of the
commerce Of each.
1t will increase our navy to a size
commensurate with our new place
among the powers Of the world.
1t will magnify an hundred fold the
merchant vessels that sail under the
American flag.
1t will continue to the American
people their territorial possessions,
their busy workshops, their contented
homes, their sound money that passes
current everywhere, and will main
tain for the veteran soldiers that care
and protection which their services
for their flag have earned.
1t is the only party which in the
past forty years has striven to devel-
op the country.
And for these reasons those who are
proud of their land and government
should give the Republican ticket un'
hesitating support,

the following: 1.-THE commotion in

of the insane asylum at Topeka, and
the reason assigned therefor, has not

ugly appearance and places in not

For the Pensioner,

Mr.. Vincent claims to be entitled
to great credit as pension getter,
much more than be is entitled to.
But granting all be claims, granting
that he is great friend Of the old
soldiers, does his financial policy
favor the pensioner? Not much. Mr..
Vincent advocates financial policy
that would be ruinous to their inter.
ests, a policy that would cut their
pensions in the middle. He wants to
do away entirely with gold and silver
and substitute an absolute fiat, ire
deemable, currency. And what
would it be worthP The merchant
or other business men can protect
themselves against deprecated cur
rency by raising the price Of their
goods, wares and merchandise, and
right there is where the soldier who
depends upon his pension for a part
of his living would get it in the neck.
Better vote for a man who will do as
much or moro than Vincent in the
matter Of pensions and at the same
time assist in providing for their pay.

in a city that well knows how dis

that record to the fence. 1t says:
STANLEY is no hypocrite as Leedy is

Leedy operated his metropolitan ma

ously kept in sympathetic touch with
the lowest elements for political
effect. And yet the same Leedy made
an ostentatious donation Of 500 to the

tended purpose of suppressing the
drinking houses. Leedy's record

the consideration of sensible voters at

The News wants to know why the
Republican administration has put
down the price Of wheat. The News
itself gave the following reasons last

"The decline has been caused by a

part Of holders to dispose of their
holdings, and the fine prospects for
new transformations being very
favorable for good crop in nearly
all OF our winter wheat States"

Another Broken Pledge.

One Of the chief planks in the Pop
ulist platform Of two years ago was a
promise to reduce interest rates. W.
L. Costigan, the leading Populist edi-
tor Of Ottawa, tells something about
it. He says: 1.-THE Populist party
has been for two years in absolute
power in this State. 1t has left the
usurer in all the power it found him.
Senator Sheldon, the wealtiest man
in that senate, made a noble attempt
to give relief to the people. His bill
was defeated after repeated attempts
and Leedy is responsible for its defeat
and Governor Leedy has prosecuted
him from that hour to this. Leedy
is now looking for votes for re.elec-
ton. Where is there man who is
forced to pay tribute to Shylock that
should support himP" That is the
way Leedy keeps promises.
