Curley Kirk, Wichita boy who is in the regular army at Santiago, writes to the Wichita Eagle as follows Two months ago I left Tampa for this blast ed land which we are trying to fibre. For fortyfive days 1 never saw a wo- man. Fellow citizens, if you want to appreciate woman, get away from her. You don't know what the Creator did when he performed the first surgical operation on Adam. If you want to know what a grand, glorious and sugar coated thing woman is, join the army. Join the army as 1 did. See nothing but men from morning till night. Join the army and loaf with men, eat with men |, talk men, help men, carry men, walk over men, shoot men, succor men, see men, men, men, and nothing but men. Live in a perpetual atmosphere of sup pressed profanity, boot smell and to- bacco smoke and at the end of three weeks you would be passionately en- amored with the mummy of an Egypt ian servant girl and give her an elect rical kiss that would burn three thou sand years of dried hide into flushed and velvety animation"

The other day soldier stationed at San Francisco had letter in one of the daily papers in which he complained that the soldiers in his camp had not had enough to eat and had been very badly treated generally. Think of that, old soldiers A man who has just taken an excursion to San Francisco, where invalids go for their health, camped out a few weeks in the summer and been fed and pampered like a baby, whining about hardships Such man as that ought to be ashamed to show his face at home again, and yet that is the kind of complaints the copperheads are making so much noise about.-EX.

The English system of jurisprudence has accepted an innovation which has long been resisted. It is now permitted that defendants in criminal prosecu- tions generally may testify in their own behalf. For the last twenty years the way for this has been prepared by per hitting it in certain cases, and the tes- timony of many judges is that it has promoted justice and has not resulted in the conviction of any innocent person so far as they have been able to determine.-P.-I

LINCOLN AND MCKINLEY.

llNAOlN AND hNkiNAEi.
 Patriotic American readers, who are abreast with past and current history, will make no mistake in diagnosing the yellow journalism of today. They are twins. every lust one of them, with their brothers of thirty six years ago. The Record and the Journal are in no ma terial sense behind the Chicago Times when it was driven from the patriotic homes of the land for its lying and slanderous methods save and except both these modern imitators are lack ing in the brains that guided the Times upon that occasion. They may be a little more polite and less brutal than yellow journalism in ls62, but their in tent is the same Their aim and desire then as now was not to aid "the poor much admiration, but to break down the power of the rulers and disgrace them in the eyes of the world. They sneered at President Lincoln as ''an old buffoon. who crackedj okes while his sol diers in the field were perishing." Sec. retary Stanton was marked as "the cold blooded autocrat, wrapped ill red tape.n General Grant they charged upon as d drunkard and unfit to command in the field" and they actually succeeded in depriying him of his command after | f,,. ,,.,at.lxr typn mont hs hn marched with the army of the Tennes- see without any important command. They charged General Sherman with being "a crazy man" full of wild vagar ies and wholly unfitted for service be- cause he demanded 75,OOo men" before marching into the heart of the Confed- eracy. This General and that were charged with being pets and favorites' and "politicians"-inf fine, anything and everything that would break their hold upon the people and breed discord They stood off and howled in chorus "On to Richmond ]" and then openly criticised the deadly encounter in the Wilderness. How like it is the same yell of these modern yellow journals, "On to Havana v and when the wisdom of the President and his Secretary of War refused to go into the deadly ma laria about Havana, and ended the war by attacking Santiago. the most healthy section of Cuba, and won such honors as never before came to any nation in the same length of time, they shout louder than ever about the needless sacrifice of life. of "staryation,' and zig norance," and seoundrelism in the au- thorities, which, if believed, would make the nation a stcnch in the nostrils of the civilized world. There has, no doubt, been suffering among the brave soldiers at Santiago, as well as many camps in the states. It is scarcely to be doubted there have been cases of oversight and neglect. It was in the na- ture of it dangerous campaign. But the fact is the loss of human life has not been one fourth as great as was an ticipated by those who knew best the dangers of the campaign. To follow a contest, so fraught with honor to Amer ican arms, with such unwarranted criti- cism is humiliating to every lover of the flag and country.

DEED OF A FANATIC.

The brutal assassination of the em press of Austria was an act of savagery which has no parallel in modern crime. The assassin himself admits that the deed was useless and gives as his only excuse that it was committed for the sake of example" Nothing short of in sanity could prompt Il human being to drive knife into the defenseless form of an aged woman who for years had been noted for her philanthropy and gentle deeds. Elizabeth of Austria has never. in the most remote way, been re sponsible for the alleged evils which the anarchists attempt to correct or ayenge by foul murder. She sprang from d penniless family which possess es no influence and is almost forgotten in the blue books. She became the wife of the Emperor of Austria because he desired a consort who loved him. and the circumstances of his wooing are among the few romances of Europe an soyereigus. One can understand the hatred and vindictiyeness which prompt nihilist or anarchist to mur- der the actual ruler of nation, but it is impossible to comprehend the mo tive which leads to the assassination of gentle and venerable old lady.

Go Slow,

A leading Washington daily paper has recently criticised a decision of the supreme court of the state, and very justly too. The judges are all able men, but the trouble with the court is that it tries to do too much work, and cases are not carefully considered. It is of more importance to have cases de- cided according to law than that the work shall be kept up, and when the court comes to that conclusion it will take higher rank among the appellate courts of the various states.

An Appeal
To Voters.
The Democratic State Central COMMITTEE
Issues an Important Address.

Chairman Rosing on behalf of the
Democratic State central committee has
ISSUED the following address:
We are now in the second year of the
republican national administration, and
the first of the promises made by that
party during the campaign of 1896 has
vet to be fulfilled. The mills have not
been opened, the currency laws have not
been reformed, confidence has not been
restored, prosperity has not returned,
sufficient revenues to provide for the Or
dinary expenses of the government have
not been provided. Vacillation and in
efficiency have marked every act of the
administration except in the protection
of corporations and IN furthering the in
terests of trusts.
The republican administration in this
state presents in an exaggerated form all
the evils of the national administration.
For forty years the republican party has
had absolute control of the legislation
and administration of public affairs in
the state of Minnesota, and the people,
therefore, have right to ask that party
to give an account Of its stewardship.
In natural resources Minnesota has
been peculiarly blessed. With a fruit
full soil, abundanrly watered, with mag
pifcent forests, with inexhaustlble mines
and abundant natural waterways for
transportation, the possibilities for pros
perity and happiness to the people of
this state are boundless. In the absence
of special privileges being granted, by
means of which a few could monopo-
lie the natural wealth of this state, gen
eral prosperity and happiness must have
come. Unfortunately, however, our pub
lie servants have seen fit to grant such
license to monopoly and corporate
greed tha5 the wealth Of the state pro-
vided by a beneficient Providence for
the benefit of the people has been divert
ed to the use and enrichment of few.
The total area of Minnesota is about
forty nine million acres; more than ten
million acres have already been decided
to railroad corporations under various

Whenever through the inadvertence
of the railway managers valuable piece
o. land appropriated to the state for ed
ucational purposes has been overlooked,
some political favorite has obtained it
for an inadequate price. And when
legislature was found independence enough
to pass law providing for the taxation
of railroad lands, the republican manag-
ers went to the extent of robbing duly
elected member of the senate of his right
to seat in that body for the purpose OF
furnishing the railroad companies with
a technical legal defense, through which
they hope to defeat the solemnly ex-
pressed will of the people.
Under the fostering care Of the repub-
lican administration of this state the val
ue of railroad properties has Increased
enormously. This is no mere idle state
ment, fol that such is the fact was sol
emily adjudlcated by our supreme court
in the famous Steenerson rate case. That
proportionate increase in the holdings
of the people generally has not taken
place is proved by no less an authority
than the present republican state auditor
Mr.. Dunn says III his report for 1856:
"We are at this time confronted with
these undeniable facts. The general ex-
penditures of the state are rapidly in
creasing and the valuation of taxable
property decreasing"
Republican policy for forty years has
resulted, therefore, in. the enrichment
and asgrandizement of corporations and
in the improvement OF the people gen
orally.
