BOYCOTT FRANCE

The French press is not so pro- Span-
ish as it was. The frog-eating wor-
shipper Of the Esterhazys and RouIan-
gers have had pointer. There are ten
thousand swen-mob Americans livins
in Paris. and American tourists AMIN
ally spend millions in Paris. Thou-
sands of rich Americans who never ~
abroad patronize the dressmakers and
man-milliners Of Paris. But the French
Paris in particular. have been abusing
Americans. and the American colony
OF that city has waxed warm under the
collar. Nothing in America was good
enough for this contingent and now
they are getting just what everybody
Is glad OF. France is TO have a big
show in 1900. They have been counting
more on the money they were going 10
get from America than from anywhers
else. Congress had already created
some officers and made appropriations
for an American exhibit The demand
now OF the American people is that no
appropriations shall be made and no

TIE GERMAN AND IRISH.

In reply to the Eagles criticisms OF
the attitude &c the ruler Of the German
empire and Of the Irish leaders in the
house of commons, towards the people
Of the United States, in a war being
waged upon purely humanitarian
grounds, came two protests, both from
Oklahoma, which we publish elsewhere.
Blood is thicker than water" as will
be seen by a perusal of the replies. The
Eagle has been careful to state the fact,
which is evident to every observing
man, that the Germans Of America are
amongst the most pronounced, not only
in their loyalty but in their love of
American freedom and its personal lib
erty. The German American has no
sympathy with the kaiser nor with the
Fatherland press in their misrepresent-
atoms of the animus of our war with
Spain. None were drawer or truer
than the Irish and German volunteer
soldiers in the war of the rebellion.
Wherever you found a German you
found man so pronounced in his re-
pugnance to slavery that, as in the
Lawrence raid, for instance, Germans
were shown no mercy. The fighting
proclivities Of the Irish need not be
dwelt upon We concede that England
has been unjust to Ireland, expressing
that people with a century of wrong
but that does not do away with the
fact Of the kilograms to Alphonso XIII,
any more than that Notwithstanding
the Germans sturdy admiration for
America, her people and institutions,
his government followed up Dewey
with a menacing fleet.

THE OREGON.

There has been a great deal Of I'M
easiness over the fate of the Oregon,
seemingly unnecessary anxiety in the
light Of some subsequent advices. The
Oregon is one of the most powerful
first class battle ships afloat on the
waters Of the world. She is not only
immense, but her voyage Of fourteen
thousand miles, or more than half the
distance around the globe. has shown
her to be as perfect and staurch in her
going qualities as in her terrific arma-
ment. She carries four of the biggest
guns made, together with a large num-
Der Of other big and little guns; she
can throw between three and four tons
of metal by a single discharge of all
her pieces. When Captain Clarke, her
commander. reached Rio de Janeiro.

wired him mass Of stuff in the way
of information of what had happened
at the Philippines ana of caution
against the Spanish fleet under Ger
Veras. Captain Clarke Immediately
wired back: Don't tie me up: am not

Spain" There is no doubt but that he

LONG AND SIMPSON AGAIN.

From the Leavenworth Times.
For the fourth time the COMPRESSION
al duel in the Seventh will be fought
between Chester l. Long and Jerry
Simpson. Both have been nominated by
the almost unanimous voice OF their
respective parties.
In 1892 Long pulled down Simpsons
majority, what had been 5000 in 1890,
TO /, 100 That was the first bout. Long
was then a young man in politics. but
it was found he was a stalwart fighter.
In 1894 Long was again nominated by
reclamation. This time he defeated
Jerry by a majority of 2,000. In his
one term in congress Mr.. Longs abili
ty in debate and his careful attention
to congressional duties made him ia
vorably known. But In 1896 the Re-
publicans of the Seventh were serious
ly divided on the money question. Long
stood on the st Louis platform square
ly, but was defeated by majority of
nearly 5000.
In a series Of brilliant debates dur
ing the campaign between Long and
Simpson, the latter had manifestly the
worse side of the argument, and what
has happened under the Mckinley ad-
ministration are the very things that
Long said would happen and the people

factious obstructionist When the IL
hterate, but saucy and cunning DEM
agogue first posed as the friend of the
worhngman, and one of them, when
he converted the Alliance organization
into an engine to lift him from OBJ
security and poverty to a better and
more comfortable position, many peo-
pie were led to believe that they had
found rough diamond, a very con-
centration of the soul Of goodness. His
tricky speeches garnished with fami
liar illusions and SMILES drawn from
the workingman's cOmmonest life. his
dramatic parade of his poverty. his
mere volubility with his mouth were
not understood. But that kind of
thing wears threadbare. Jerry has
now reached the ragged ends of dema-
gogy. What is there to show of solid
reform or lasting legislation for his six
years in congress?
With the glamor sadly faded from
Jerry, and his Bryanite arguments all
demolished by the stern logic of facts.

truth, easily should carry the Republi-
can standard to victory in the Big
