A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY

On The 18th of May, 1859, the Re-
publican party of Kansas was or
ganized at Osawatomie. Col. o. f..
Learnard, then of Cofiey county, was
president of the meeting and Horace
Greeley was the orator of the occa-
sion.
The anniversary will be appropri-
ately celebrated this year by meet
ing under the auspices of the Second
District Editorial Association. The
meeting will be held at OsawatomIe
and Col. o. +. Learnard, now of Law
renee, will preside as he did on the
original occasion thirty-nine years
ago. 1t was hoped to have Hon,
Galusha Grow, the author of the bill
admitting Kansas to the Union and
now as then a member of Congress
as the orator of the occasion. But
the infiImities of age will probably
prevent the patriarchal statesman
from attending and it Is understood
that Geo. II. Peck will make the
principal address. There will be
numerous other addresses and the
occasion will without doubt be one u
most notable interest.

A sTRoNG CANDIDATE.

The Republicans of Cherokee
county are pushing the candidacy of
John II. Hamilton, of that comfy, for
the Office of Secretary of State with
an enthusiasm and energy which is
certainly most complimentary to him.
And the arguments they use appeal
very strongly to those who are anxl-
Gus for Republican success. Aside
from MIR. Hamilton's eminent qualifi-
r cation for the Office, his friends say
that his personal popularity in his
own county and in Crawford county
is 30 great that his nomination will
strengthen the entire State ticket
several thousand votes in those two
counties alone. This would seem
quite unreasonable were it not re-
membered that the mining vote IN
those two counties is very heavy and
that IL 10 cast for the most part for
personal and not for party preference
Mr.. Hamilton has been q practical
miner and has gained the confidence
of the miners to such an extent that
he was made their representative in
their recent contest with the mine
,wners, and his friends insist that
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1898-04-29

they will vote for him regardless Of
their party relations. This has been
already demonstrated, they affirm,
by HE election to the Office of District
Clerk by a majority of over a thous-
aud votes, which is certainly a re-
markable record for "a Republican
candidate in a county which usually
casts very heavy Populst majority.
The candidacy of u man who can
make such record as that is entitled
to the most serious and respectful
consideration at the hands of a Re-
publican convention, and in spite OF
the strong men already in the race
for the Office of Secretary of State 1t
seems certain that Mr.. Hamilton viii

CherryvaIe Republican, We wish to
call attention to the candidacy of Hon.
f. H. Funston, of Allen county, for
governor, and say that while there are
other splendid men in the field, none,
in any way, surpass Mr.. Funston.
This paper believes that he is the
strongest man in the field and
with him at the head of the ticket,
we may confidently look forward to a
complete victory next fall. Let the
Funston men in these paris rise up
and assert themselves. BY the way
Funston has more qualifications than
any of the candidates. He was in the
war from the beginning to the end, is
farmer, fine speaker and posted on
all the topics Of the day. We want a
man who is full of business and will
put his energies into whatever he
doep. Let this county go in with the
southeast part of the State and nomi-
nate Funston for governo: and We will
win this fall.

NAVAL TITLES.

1t is to be naval war, and so the
following from the Topeka Capital on
the meaningEof naval titles is timely;
The highest ssofIicer of the United
States navy after the president and
secretary of the navy is the admiral
which corresponds to general of the
armies. Vice admiral, which ranks
next, corresponds to lieutenant gene
raj. Rear admiral corresponds to
major general. Commodore is equi-
vaient to brigadier general. Captain
is equivalent toscolonel. Commander
corresponds to lieutenant colonel.
Lieutenant commander is equivalent
to major. Lieutenant is equivalent
10 captain. Junior is equivalent to
first lieutenant. Ensign is equivalent
to second lieutenant. There has been
but one admiral in United States
history. This rank was conferred on
Rear Admiral Porter after the wal
and he held it to his death. There
are six rear admirals. The title
general was held by four United
States generals Washington, Grant
Sherman and Sheridan. There is
now no officer holding this grade, as
there is no admiral.

AN EXECUTIVE OUTRAGE.

Gov. Leedy has committed the
blunder which it was forecast in these
columns few days ago that ne was
preparing TO make.
He has ignored the National Guard
of the State in filling the quota of
Kansas designated in the Presidents
call for troops.
\ blunder like that is almost a
crime, for it kills the National Guard
of Kansas. The sturdy and patriotic
young men Of Kansas who constitute
the Guard, enlisted in that service
and have undergone the toll and ia
tigue of drill, for the purpose of pre-
pairing themselves to fight their
country's battles. They certainly
had right to expect that if the ma
ton should become embroiled in war
they would have the first chance
which every American counts high
privilege,-to march against the
enemy.
But the Populist Governor of Kan
sas says no. In spite of the plain
declaration of the Secretary of War
that the National Guard should be
given the preference when troops
were wanted, in spite of the fact that
the men who compose the Kansas
National Guard have spent months,
many of them years, in studying and
training themselves for just such an
emergency as now confronts the
country, in spite OF the fact that they
are armed and equipped and could be
made ready to take the field at a
fraction of the expense, in money and
In yet more precious time than volun-
teer troops, in spite of all these things
Gov. Leedy calmly ignores the whole
organization and sent out his orders
that those who wish to enlist In the
service of their country may do 30 by
applying at certain recruiting sta
tions. If the Governor had wanted
to disband the guards he could not

MIR BENNETT A CANDIDATE.

The announcement of the candidacy
OF MIR. II. II. Bennett for the Office of
county attorney comes in response to
a widespread feeling and his defeat
two years ago after only one term in
office was due to hasty and illcon-
sidered judgment and that he should
be given another term of the office
which he is.so fully qualified to fill.
1t is undoubtedly true that Mr..
Benefits course during the past two
years has made him many friends
and confirmed him to very large de-
gree in the cOntid ence of the people
who recognize in him not only good
lawyer but a thoroughly honest man
and a staunch Republican. He is so
well know in all parts of the county
as to need no introduction in these
columns. 1t is his expectation to
make an active campaign for the
nomination and he will undoubtedly
be strong factor in the coming fight.

have chosen more effective way to
do 1t. Why should men spend years
fitting themselves to fight their
country's battles If all the time and
toll are to count for nothing when the
war comes ?
Not only will this order of the Gov
ernor's disband the National Guard
but 1t will send an Awkward Squad
from Kansas to be the butt and jeer
of the well drilled troops from the
other States. So far ~ we have yet
observed Gov. Leedy is the only Gov
ernor in the Union to set aside the
National Guard in filling the quota of
his state. From all other States will
come men already familiar with the
tactics of the parade field and the
march and. the battle. Kansas only,
will he represented by en,-patriot-
ic as any and brave as any,-who do
not know their left hand from their
right in military sense.
1t is hard to find any other motive in
the Governors action except delib.
crate purpose to humiliate and dis
band the National Guard. The Pop
ulists have always been against the
soldiers, whether regulars or militia.
Gov. Leedy himself took occasion
some weeks ago to declare that Pres-
dent Mckinley had no intention OF
allowing the country to go to war,
but was only getting up this scare for
an excuse to inci ease the regular army
to be used by the corporations to
keep the people in subsection. 1t. is
entirely reasonable that man capa-
BILE of expressing such an opinion as
that should use the first opportunity
afforded him to strike u killing blow
against the organized militia of his
own State.
And that is what John w Leedy
has done.

If Col. Fred Funston wants to get
into the fight and get into it quick, he
would do well to surrender the COM
mission which he holds from Gov
Leedy and go to headquarters. 1t

ward squad which it is evidently the
Governors intention to send from
Kansas will be in condition to get
very close to the front.

exception is Hon. Ed G. Gates, of TT.

Ed gates is young man on the

InHN SHERMAN.

John sherman passed away yester-

heredity strong and independent
intellect, strong body and sturdy

him largely upon his own resources
and his early life is the story, Sc

The war prospects have set people
thinking about how money is to be
obtained for war expenses. The first
and most gratifying development in
this particular is the discovery that
the United States has more money
in circulation to-day than at any
time in its history, the total money
in circulation being Sl,756, 05S ,G45, or
S246, 900, 600 more than at the date Of
the Chicago convention, which de-
clared that no material increase in
our currency could he had without
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. 1t Is also discovered that the
money on deposit in the national,
State, and savings banks is greater
than ever before, and thus people
would be in excellent condition to
respond to a call for a popular loan
in case of necessity.

EXTRA
SESSION
Washington Post Says
Congress Is to BE
Convened Soon.
Senate Must Ratify the
Treaty of Peace When
Agreed on.
Laws Regarding Army
and Other riatters to
Be Changed.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The Post
says The president will call an
extra session OF both houses of con-
gress as soon as Spain accepts the
terms of peace offered by the United
States. 1t has always been under
stood that the senate would be con-
vened as soon as the treaty of peace
was ready for that body. The situ-
alton in this case Is such as to male
it necessary for the assemblagc OF the
whole congress, The situation can he
explained in a few words. Under the
law which provides for the raising of
the volunteer army. that army sees
out of existence as soon a. the war
ceases, When this law was framed
it was not for a moment supposed that
after the war had ended there would
be any necessity of keeping the army,
The developments Of the war make it
very evident that instead of sending
the army back to civil life, fully
100000 men will continue to be need
ed 1t is the present intention to dis
tribute them in Cuba. the
Philippines and probably 10000 in
Porto Rico. Under the law, as soon
as hostilities cease, the volunteer
army is to be disbanded and the
regular army goes back to its peace
footing, thus leaving only $1,000 men
in the service. This total is far too
small for the work that has to be
done Congress will be needed to
frame new laws, which will be needed
to increase and educate the army.
In addition to this laws must be
changed to meet the new require
ments Of government in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico The president
is naturally averse to calling con
gress together during the hot
weather, and it may be decided that
the war Is not ended until the senate
has ratified the treaty. In this case
congress will not meet until Septem-
Der, as It will take at least a month
or six weeks for the fun details Of
the treaty to be discussed and
framed The present outlook is,
however, for an extra session at a
much earlier period in the hope that
the work can be concluded before the
fall campaign"
