have been using Is all right We used
to think the tallow candle gave very
good light, but after using electric light,
we wonder how we ever got along with
the candle light. 1t is the same with
starches; you have used the lump and

complaint because you have never had

NEGOTIATIONS looking to the bring.

States and Spain were said to be under
way, according to a Paris dispatch.
and the suggested terms will take
definite form in a short time. 1t was
reported that Spain was willing to
treat for peace if she is allowed to re-

allowing Cuba to go. It was further
stated that should the United States
not agree to peace upon these terms,
Spain would be satisfied with the re-

THE WAR SITUATION.

~ We still believe there will be no war with
Spain. Certainly there will be none II we
wait for Mckinley to declare war. He has
rroved himself an arrant coward. His message
to congress- brands him a traitor. He has, all
along, been an apoosst for Spain, and in this
message he emphasizes these apologies by de-
clariuq his belief in the honesty of Spain.
McKinley's plan OF settlement OF the ciffl-
Guilty between Spain and Cuba is for Spain to
release Cuba, and the latter pay, in bonds, two
hundred million dollars. Why Cuba should
nav th;, is not stated She owes Spain not one
cent. 1t is only scheme to benefit the bond
holding class. Such proposition is infamous
damnable. The idea of placing such burden
upon those poor, struggling, starving Cubans
could emanate only from one who is lost to all
sense of shame.
McKinley's weak, trucking policy has in
cenced the masses of the people of all parties.
He is denounced on every hand. He has been
hanged in efigy in various places He is more
cordially hated than any other president He
is simply the plant tool of Wall street.
We would like to see war averted II II can
be done honorably, but this namby-pamby poll
Nv would cause all decent Americans to hide
their heads in shame and humiliation.

was no shedding of blood, but the combatants
INDUCED in war of words which was quite in
terestng to the ooker-on. Both sides told
some very truthful stories about each other
possibly no untruths were uttered by either
side. At any rate, the result was as we have
stated and Boss Brown and his followers went
down in defeat. They are utterly routed and
their forces are demoralized-at least for the
time being-and they must either eat crow or
edo the other thing"
Frank Brown is-or was-Cy Leland's can
didate for auditor of state, and he is secretary
of the state central committee. This defeat at
home settles his hash so far as the authorship
is concerned. 1t is impossible for him to go
into the convention with the support Of his
home delegation, and without that delegation
he cannot hope to get any appreciable support
from any other quarter.
Whether Frank will "PhGniX-like," rise
from the ashes of his defeat, or hunt pastures
new, deponent sayeth not. Time will tell. 1t
is our opinion, however, that he has about
reached the umping-of place in his political
career in Kansas.
However, this isn't our funeral.
