KANSAS HUMILIATED.

Leedy pompously petitions the secre-
tary Of war, in the most public way
possible, for the privilege of raising two
additional regiments instead OF one
His anxiety presumably arises from
his desire to commission an additional
number of his Pop pets. Before sin
gle man had been recruited under the
presidents second call Leedy nomin-
ates chaplain for the Twenty third reg
iment He is a Topeka preacher, of
course. 1t is the understanding that
Father Then of this city was to have
the place. We hope if another, or ad-
ditionaI regiments, are raised, that the
men viii not be permitted to leave To-
peka to become objects of charity. The
politicians of Topeka never let up until
they succeeded in getting the place Of
rendezvous changed from where it had
been fixed to that town. Passing over
the disgraceful riots which occurred
and the way the boys were worked for
a woman's publication Of Topeka, peo-
pie cannot shut their eyes to the humil-
iating dispatch of yesterday which an
nounced that the people of San Fran
cisco had taken up a public collection
to clothe the ragged Kansans who, In
the language of the dispatch, were
more needy than any other regiment
that has come here" Leavenworth is
the most proper point for rendezvous
ing. The boys on arriving at the Fort
would not only have comfortable quar-
tiers, but would not be subject to the
notorious under-life of Topeka.
Leedy, in the interest of his own or
personal political ambition, broke up
and disorganized the state militia and
differed the new recruits with men Of
his own bargaining, and his haste in
naming new officers for the second call
is not less disgraceful than the fact
that he sent a regiment to the Pacific
coast barefooted is humiliating.

AMERIoA,s OPPORTUNITY.

| The United States has never looked
after and conserved its foreign com
merce in the sense that other nations
have. Depending on our ingenuity and
| enterprise we have taken the chances
which have been open and left the
rest to slide. All Europe is existing
| largely upon their Asiatic trade or are
seeking to do so. Russia and France
! and Germany have each gained foot
hold in China in the way Of exclusive
ports which they propose to hold, re-
spectively, as against the commerce Of
any and all other countries. Mr.. Bar
rett, United States minister to Siam,
writes the Cincinnati Times-Star that
there are at least 4O0, 900. 900 people in
Asia who wear little else than cotton
goods ready to patronize the American
manufacturer and shipper The mar
ket for American products is ready,
and but for certain European influ-
urges that the American manufacturer
has little else to do than to seize it, but
there are certain obstacles in the way
Of which the minister to Siam takes no
notice. Among these obstacles are
those which France Germany and
Russia, particularly Russia, are plant
ing. These obstacles consist in the
several nations mentioned, Russia TAX
ing the lead, Selling Oriental ports that
for years have been opened to the
American shipper and closing them to
everybody but the French, the German
or the Russian. A Russian port means
a port for Russian people only to trade
in; a German port for German people;
a French for French only.
In radical contrast to this policy is
that of the English. Wherever they
unfurl the British flag and open port,
there the utmost freedom prevails for
every trader. All ships are welcome,
all goods are welcome, no matter what
their label. These facts are now urged
most strenuously by men who are in
sisting that the United States, whether
Russia, Germany and France protest
or not, should hold what it has acquir-
ed in the Philippines. Those islands
have become necessary, not only that
American commerce can be advanced,
but that the American manufacturer
and shipper can hold the commerce al
ready acquired.

now in the field have the best Of stuff
in them. but they are not soldiers; they
are not disciplined, they can't march,
they don't know how to take care OF
themselves, they don't understand
maneuvers. Another thing, they have
no proper equipments. Their uniforms
are all wrong for Cuba-won't do at
all; their blankets are not worth any
thing. They have no proper shoes"
General Wingate is no chronic fault
finder. He is distinguished authority

The car is rather a unique method
of advertising the state fair, but it
no doubt will prove successful
one. The car is beautifully dec
GRATED on the interior with bunting
and its fittings are snugly arrang
ed, the exterior is profusely and
artistically painted, showing in
part what the fair will have on ex-
hibitiOn, such as agricultural and
horticultural products, live stock,
poultry, etc. Col. w. l.. Thomp-
son, who is i'll charge, informs us
that the fair this year would be a
success ahead of any previous one,
due he says, in a great measure to
the courtesies Of the press, 2ll of
whom extended assistance and en-
couragement wherever he goes.
The fair will begin on the first of
October and continue sixteen days.
The car will return to Texas at
6: 10 this evening.

May Cut Fences.

There is trouble in Oklahoma
and much contention between the
nesters" and the cattlemen in
Woodward county. and the dis
pute may result in the cutting
down Of pasture fences by United
States officers. Large tracts of
government land, subject to home
stead entry, have been fenced by
cattlemen. Homesteaders who en-
ter claims in these pastures have
been forbidden, in several in
stances. the privilege of going
through the fences. The trouble
progressed so far that all that is
necessary for an order to cut down
the fences is for some person to
swear out a warrant before a
United States commissioner for
the arrest of the cattlemen.

measles, which was followed by a
severe attack of typhoid fever.
Wesley will rejoin the boys at

A lively Eracas.

From fragments picked up the
ARDMoREITE learns that a diff
Guilty occurred late Tuesday eve
ming about ten miles east of Oak
land between Jim Vaughn and
Mack Umbry. We are not in
formed as to the origin of the
trouble further than Vaughn with
a Winchester gun deliberately
fired upon Umbry three times who
persistently kept approaching. On
reaching Vaughn the men closed
in and Umbry secured the still
smoking gun and struck Vaughn a
stunning blow across the head
which ended the fight.
Umbry was here to-day for a
warrant for Vaughn but as the
fracas occurred in the Tishomingo
district he was referred 70 that
commissioner to air his troubles.
