"On Stanley, On"

Hutchinson News: The many straight,
honest Republicans who left their party
two years ago on the free silver question
are certainly able to see where they have
gotten TO If they have staid with their
leaders who have followed the pie wagon.
Two years ago the silver Republican"
protested that they were as strong for
protection and as firm against Populist
and socialist schemes as ever, but that
they believed in the free coinage of sill
yer and that issue was paramount in the
campaign of 1895. Now the Free Silver
Republicans" swallow all the Populist
schemes, denounce the protective tariff
and oppose the patriotic policy of the Re-
publican party which they had always
upheld.
1t is another case Of what bad company
will do for a man. The Free Silver Re
publican Of two years ago would have bit
terIy denied that he was not a protection
list, would have asserted his loyalty to the
country, 20 the law and TO the flag Now
ne is for free trade and he supports candi-
dates who embarrass the administration
at every opportunity. This applies 10 the
Silver Republican" who is working al
the trade for the Office he holds or ex-
poets 10 hold. II does not apply to the
great mass of the rank and file who are
back in the Republican party where they
belong. standing by Mckinley AMI Dewey
and preparing to vote on the sile of ma
tlonal honor and prosperity.
Leavenworth Times: When the Leaven-
worth delegates arose and called attention
TO the omission of any mention of Baker,
Curtis and Broderick. a profound sensa-
ton was created in the hall. But when
it was further announced that the omis-
sion was Intentional and that eleven out
OF thirteen members of the committee on
resolutions had been Influenced or misled
by Senator Bakers enemies into DELHI
erately cutting out the endorsement of the
Republican representation at Washington,
the convention was astonished and indig-
nant. The Republican state convention
emphatically endorsed the patriotic de-
votion and official course of our United
States senator, Hon. Lucien Baker and
our devoted representatives in congress,
Hon. Charles Curtis and Hon. Case Bro

NO FOURTH OF JULY

In the trans-Pacific journey from
America to the Philippines one day is
lost. The day to be dropped from the
calendar is decided by the officers OF
the vessel making the trip. In the
summer months the officers of the Ca
madam Pacific Steamship line always
arrange to drop the fourth of July. This
was for purely anti-American reasons
and caused much chagrin to citizens of
the United States who happened to be
passengers aboard the vessel It. was
really imbecile, foolish and injurious to
the company, and in view of the extent
and sincerity of British friendship for
the United States, it can be predicted
with more certainty of fulfllment than
a weather forecast that this year, 1898,
y. D., when Americans retire aboard
a vessel en- route from America to the
far east on the night of July 3, they will
not find the log, the bill of fare and
other dated records commencing July
3, the succeeding day, as heretofore.

Florence Bulletin: Harry Richter, Re-
publican candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor, will run like jack rabbit on cleo
ton day. In 1896, when he made the race
for the same office, and when party lines
were drawn closer than ever before, he
carried his home county (Morrls) by nearly
a hundred majority. In the same cam
paign the entire county ticket, made up
of splendid gentlemen, was defeated. The
best test of a mans worth is the place
he occupies in the hearts of his neighbors.
This test proves Harry Richter all right.
He can have just as large majority in
this county as ne wants.
Cleveland (Ohio) Leader: w. z. STAN

is a member of the Methodist church, and
is the superintendent of one Of the largest
Sunday schools in the west.

Atchison Globe: John W. Leedy may
not be a brilliant man. but he deserves
recognition for being something very rare
these days: A man who is the head OF his
own home. If Mrs. John w. Leedy made"
her husband, he has successfully censored
the news, and if any of the little Leedy's
are prodigies, the governor hasn't wearied
the public by relating the fact. The atten-
ton of Brother Stanley is called to the
unusual kind Of a man his predecessor
in Office Is.

Winfield Courier: The recent conven-
ton resulted in a complete surrender Of
the Democratic party to Populism. One
of the delegates present at the conven-
ton said: I'VE met, and with much show
of power demanded three places of the
Populists; we finally respectfully request
ed that they give US two places on the
ticket; after that we would have ben con-
tent to have accepted one place, but find
ing that the Populsts would not grant
even that we re-nominated the whole Pop
ulist ticket, including the lieutenant gov
ernor, who has gone to war, and ad-
journed, leaving the Populist convention
to do as it pleased. 1 am now on my way
home, to look after the crops, and am dis
gusted with the whole situation. If vote

DERvIsHEs WERE PUT TO R0UI
Brilliant Attack of Angio-Egyptinn
Forces Under Kitchener.

Cairo, April l0.-The Anglo-E Egyptian
forces under General Sir Kitchener at
tackled the Dervish position yesterday and
rushed Mahmoud's zaraba, the center Of
his Notifications, without check. The at.
tack was entirely successful, as the Derv,
ishes lost heavily.
The Sirdar's force numbered 10000 men
with "a guns, under Colonel Long, and l2
Maxims. The enemy left Shendy with
10000 men. The enemy was at first prac-
tically concealed under ground in a strong
zaraba. After an hour of heavy lombard
ment the brigades were formed up and
carried the position at the point of the
bayonet under tremendous fire from the
enemy. The zaraba was torn away, but
the enemy obstinately clung to the
trenches and were bayoneted in them.
During the whole admirable bombardment
by Colonel Long not single Dervish was
visible. Mahmoud was captured by the
Tenth Soudanese battalion. He was un.
derground the whole time his men were
fighting. Osman Digna fled as usual. The
enemy's guns, baggage, animals and
standards were captured. Colonel Murray
had his horse shot under him and was
wounded in the arm. The enemy certain
ly behaved with great bravery. ,sBashartli
Redi fell at the head of his men. The au-
thorities call the battle the most brilliant
of the Soudan.
