Platte County Farmers Satisfied.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Jan. IA
delegation of Platte county (Mo)
farmers settled their controversy out
of court yesterday with the Leaven-
worth Terminal Bridge company by
agreeing to forego all claims for dam
ages from the food last spring and ac-
cept the bridge company's agreement
to build a dixie from Beverly to the
Missouri approach of the bridge. This
dixie will be over two miles long. and
will be made by raising the Burling-
ton track five feet and protecting the
side next to the river with riprapping.
1t is said by engineers that this will
protect bottom farmers if the water is
two feet higher than last April.

A Herd OF Colorado Helfer4 afflicted with
an Atlment Resembling Cancer.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. II. james Rice,
a farmer in Marshall county, is expe-
riencing a new disease among his cat
tie. He has go head of heifers, which
he purchased in Colorado, one of
which he noticed at the time was af-
hicted with a peculiar disease, resem-
bling "a cancer Since then 20 others
of his herd are affected the same way
and some of them, he thinks, are about
to die. People who have seen them in
the feed lots say the stencil arising
from the affected cattle is sickening.
Several cattlemen have been to see
them, but they haven't been able to
determine what the disease is, and Mr..
Rice has written to Gov. Leedy and
the state veterinarian for information.
This is the only herd of cattle in
Marshall county affected in this man
ner and efforts are being made to keep
the herd in the feed lots until the state
veterinarian arrives and reports on the
disease. Nothing like this has ever
been seen in Kansas.

her doctors forbade her to continue

have watched Miss Coppage and have
made affidavits that no nutrition OF any

not at any time felt the pangs of hun

90 days longer but for bad cold which
she contracted several days ago. This
caused her to become very weak, and
it was feared that it might result in
pneumonia. Miss Coppage has already

having learned beyond a doubt that
that wish is for the retention of the
archipelago, he will not be turned from
what he considers his duty by the carp
ing and bowling of men like Carl Schurz
and Andrew Carnegie, who are citizens
of this country by naturalization and
not by birth. To the credit of the great
majority of the naturalized citizens of
the country it can be said that they are
true Americans in every sense of the
word, and place the honor of the nation
above personal interest, The fact that
a society OF afraid-o shadows in
New England has petitioned the presi-
dent not to annex any of the islands
taken from Spain, will in no wise
change the intention of the executive.

pears to be to learn what the people

with the people seldom goes wrong, and

The anti-annexationists may think they
are of great consequence to the welfare

ton, the results would he too terrible to
contemplate.
For the past twenty years the wal be-
tween the whites and blacks in the
south has been raging and the end is
not yet in sight. What the ultimate
outcome will be depends entirely upon
the wisdom that is exercised by the
leaders. Should it ever become neces-
sary for a force bilp' to be passed, the
northern members of congress will do
their duty without fear, and then the
southern states will be controlled en-
tirely by military power. 1t is an un-
fortunate and disgraceful state Of af-
fairs at best, but it will do the white
politicians of the south no good to pose
as injured innocence. They are as deep
in the mire as are the negroes in the
mud. 1t might be, perhaps, to the inter-
est of the Union to disfranchise the peo-
pie of certain sections of the south for a
period of years, and during that term
the whites and blacks would have time
to come to their senses and arrange
matters whereby the disgraceful kill
ings of the past election would be en-
tirely done away with.

Serious Situation in Southern States.

Since the recent election resulted in
continuing the supremacy of the Re-
publican party in both branches of con-
oress, a number of Democratic men,
bers of congress nave expressed them
selves as fearful hat the seth congress
would pass a force BILL" and thai re-
sulting from that legislation the south
would no longer be a white mans coun-
try" A more n impression was
never before given out by men occupy
ing positions of trust and honor.
The recent race war in North Caro-
lima has emphasized the serious condi-
ton of the political situation in the
southern states, and really calls for in
reference on the part of the federal
government, if that were possible I'M
der the laws of the country, but there
are circumstances and elements enter
ing into this matter which make inter-
pie will have to work out their own sal
walton. For the government to at4
tempt to suppress the rioting and in1
discriminate murder committed every
worse.
That wrongs have been perpetrated
by both whites and blacks in the south
there is no question, but the matter has
been aggravated by the actions and in
fluence of INSCRIPTIONS politicians of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties. To attempt to fasten the
blame on either party would be worse
than futile. Both are equally to blame.
The 18th amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States guarantees to
all voters, irrespective of color, race or
political belief, safety in exercising the
duties of citizenship, and should the
time ever come when the rights of citi-
zenship are entirely wiped out by either
white or black, then there will be a
reckoning which will be remembered
by all persons concerned. AS the mat
ter stands today, it is purely a local af-
fair, and the citizens must solve the
questions involved. But the white peoA
pie of the south must remember that
they are not entirely in the right,
neither are they in the majority in the
districts where the trouble has lately
occurred. Should a Moses arise in
the ranks Of the colored people and
unite them in their resistance to the
domineering spirit of the white popula-

The result of the election just past
will have considerable bearing upon the
presidential election of 1900, and the Re
publicans have no reason to feel dis
couraged over the outlook. On the Sth
of the present month 26 states were car
ried by the Republicans and 10 states
by the Democrats. The electoral vote
of the states carried by the Republicans
is PSI: that of the Democratic states l66.
President Mckinley received 271 cleo
toral vote in 1896. That there may be
changes in the political situation in the
coming two years no one can deny, but
the possibility that those changes will
be sufficient to elect a Democratic free
trade president even the Democrats dc
not hope for. The future of the United
States is certainly bright, and trade ex-
pansion and prosperity will continue for
another decade at least.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 26.

The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent on the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
it's admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
Platform, New Mexico, 1898.

The free trade papers of the coul

The free trade papers of the country
are devoting much valuable space tc
the discussing the abandonment of pro-
lection by the Republican party, as a
result of the acquisition of new terri
tory in the war with Spain. The free
traders need not give themselves any
uneasiness on that subject. The Re-
publican party will never abandon pro-
lection until the fact is firmly estab-
lished that American products can COM
mand home markets and hold their own
in foreign marts of trade without de-
creasing the wages paid American
workingmen, without reducing the
prices paid for farm produce, and with
out giving occasion for the establish
ment of free soup houses in commercial
centers to keep those out of work from
starving. Until that time comes in
America the Republican party will
never abandon protection, neither will
it give up the fight for high wages and
prosperity to every industry in the land.
