THE sHAGNEE FAKE

The Capital Of this city yesterday
morning published a column story,
under Shawnee date, with regard to
Mr.. Keaton's meeting at that city
Monday night. The article contained
only two or three facts. Mr. Keaton
was there, as stated. The "yaller 80
dog of the Republican machine. called
Hankins, was there also. The ''yaller'
dog asked for division Of Mr. Keat-
on's time. which Mr.. Keaton readily
agreed to. The "yaller" dog and his
other cur friends were surprised. They
had not expected it. They thought
Mr.. Keaton would refuse, as he
should, But he DID not, and the only
thing left for this flea.covered animal
20 do was to sneak c # and hide in the
dark This he did He had no meet
ing. but Mr. Keaton did, and a good
one. The opera house in which the
meeting was held contained several
hundred of the best men and women
in Shawnee. A programme had been
arranged by the Republicans TO inter
fere with and interrupt Judge Keat-
on's meeting, but it failed, and the
miserable conspirators snesked of
after this attempt and were heard OF
no more during the evening, And yet
the liars are decrying the effects OF

GENERAL WHEELER's TESTIMONY

GENERdL WHEELER'S TESTIMONY
General Wheeler's testimony before
the presidents commission is pointed
TO with exultation by the administra-
tion organs, and they declare that it is
a complete vindication Of the war de-
partment. But a close reader Of that
testimony will find it full of admis-
sions, replete with the ifs and buts''
that is characteristic Of all the testi-
mony pointed 10 as favorable to the
war department, and plainly the ef-
fort OF the general to keep from say
ing anything that will reflect upon the
men who made it possible for him TO
achieve neE military glory. The tes-
timony Of General Wheeler is not a
yindication Of the war department,
bat an indictment thereof Stripped
OF it's verbiage and brought down to
plain English, the testimony on Gen
eral Wheeler is plain proof that the
charges against the war department
are well founded.
General Wheeler admitted that nc
camps had been provided beforehand
for the reception Of sick troops from
Cuba. He admitted that at one time
there had been a lack Of cots at CamI
Wiekoff aud that sick men had slepi
upon the ground. He admitted thai

The New York Tribune candidly
admits, says the Kansas City Times
that "the outlook for success in the
congressional elections Is not so bright
as il might be-" 1t says the war,
among other things, has "hampered
the party" Three things particularly
are hampering the party: The Ding
ley tariff act, the conduct Of the war
and Imperialism. And they make a
bigger load than any party could carry
and win race. The high price re-
ceived for last years grain crop stimu-
lated business greatly, but the repub-
licAn leaders made the mistake of
claiming it as the result of their party
returning to power The people know
it was short crops in other countries
that did it, but the farmers more es-
pecielly hoped the Dingley law would
somehow give them good prices this
year, but IL failed utterly to do so.
That has "hampered the party The
ia schools told last year are returning
this year to plague the admiDistra-
tion.
The conduct Of the war was wholly
in the hands OF the administration,
and it so pprostituted the military es-
tablishment to make political capital
and pay political debts that thous-
ands of volunteers were driven to an
untimely and a wretehed death by the
incompetency Of the war department,
which had been turned into a public
Office distributing bureau. Other thou
sands OF volunteers suffered untold
miseries because Of almost criminal
neglect Of the administration. A con-
spiracy against the gaueral OF the
army was hatched out in administra-
tion circles TO sheive him, that an in
competent friend of the war secretary
might command the Cuban army of
invasion and win promotion and a
great name. He won great name,
but it is not exactly the kind that the
true soldier covets. Tho promotion
may yet come, II the people forget all
abou, the Santiago campaign. That.
also, has hampered the party"
The imperial policy Of the admins
tration is so hostile to our system OF
government that the people are horri-
Ged at the proposition They see the
hand of the trusts and the money
power behind il. They see that 1t is
intended to establish social aud po
litical castle, composed Of those who
have grown 20 be enormo usly rich at
the expense OF the masses. They see
th1t Imperialism means robbing them
Of their sovereignty and comforting it
upon u republican national admins
tration They see in it a long stride
in the direction of making them and
all the generations that shall follow
them mere hewers OF wood and draw
ers Of water for those who unjustly
absorb their earnings. That has
"hampered the party" But there are
scores Of other things thas are in the
hampering business, and the account
will be balanced in Move NIB er.
