The congressional committee met
at Cherryvale Wednesday night and
organized by electing P. N. Allen
of this city, chairman, Jas. A. Smith
of Girard Secretary and Mark Tully,
of independence treasury. These
officers, together with H. P. Moser,
of Sedan and c. A. Mitchell, of
erryvale, were made the execu-
tive committee. r. N. Allen has
been secretary or treasurer of the
committee for the past eight years,
and has been offered the chairman
ship before, but refused to take it.
Mr.. Allen is an aggressive republi-
can and is we'll acquainted all over
the district, is a hard worker and
conscientiously honest in his work. A
better selection could not have been
made. Chanute feels proud of hav-
ing the chairman of the committee
from among our citizens. Hon. S.
S, Kirkpatrick was present"" and cleo
trified the committee with one of his
fifteen minute talks. The commit
tee feel very much encouraged as to
the outlook for success in this dis
trict, and will soon inaugerate one
of the hottest campaign ever had, to
redeem the district from populist
mis-rule.

the wire-pullers of the the two par
ties to get together and ratify the
nominations of the present aggrega
ton. One place-that of commits
sioner-will be to fill, but as there is
no hope of the combination electing
a commissioner in this district, the
pops will be allowed to select the
MAJ they desire slaughtered. No
one blames the democrats, for with
one-eighth of the votes, they get one
half the rake-off, and are chuckling
in their sleeves at the way they work
their allies.

Prof. O. H. P. Bowers, of Gales
burg, will be a candidate for coun-
ty superintendent before the repub-
lican convention next Wednesday,
so we are automatically informed.
Mr.. Bowers is highly spoken of as a
teacher, and the teachers will be for
him. He comes from locality that
has no representative in the
court house, and should he be nomi-
mated, will make good race.

Take Either Side.

L Two years ago we were repeat
edly told that millions of people
were walking the streets and roads
of the country looking for work and
begging for bread. -Four years ago
industrial armies" were formed all
over the land to make demonstra-
tons and show the number out of en-
ploymeht. Less than two years ago
candidate for president toured the
country, and at every station de-
clared that the condition of the
working people was one of despair,
that labor was unemployed and pro-
ducers were bankrupt. The present
congressman from this district said
that the men and women of Kansas
were selling their honor for bread.
You remember all this.
Surprising for the sake of argu-
ment, that all this was so at the
time? How is it now? Where are
the armies of the unemployed?
Where are the millions of working
men who were walking the streets
and roads? A call was recently
made for 125, 900 men. 1t was filled
but the men who responded left good
jobs and promising places. The
"army of the unemployed" disap
peared and everyone of them either
had a job to leave or had one he
couldn't leave. Enlistments for the
regular army were called for and re-
cruiting Offices established in every |
city. Very few applied and those
who did were actuated by patriot
ic motives and not by want. 1t was
demonstrated that the people of the
United States were at work, and
that there was no large number of
men vainly looking for employment.
Now either of two conclusions
must be true. Either the statesmen
who made that great calamity howl
two and four years ago were mistak-
en-, or the statesmen who have been
running the country for the last year
have accomplished great change,
and have done so in spite of the cal
amity orators. Take either horn of
he dilemma you please. Say Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Simpson and Mrs.
Lease did not tell the truth. Or say
hey did and that conditions have
changed. Get on either side of the
question and you concede that the
party was right in its pol
cy and has proven itself the great
est benefactor of the age. Either it
las prevented the success of an
aggregation of deceit and demagogy,
or it has changed want to wealth and
poverty to prosperity--HutchinSo

Among the republicans whose
names have been mentioned in con-

ton, are those of R. N. Allen and

ed as to whether either of these gen
tlemen would consent to make the
race, but in case either would do so
and the county saw fit to place him
on the ticket, Chanute republicans
would be pleased. Either gentle
man would poll the full strength of
the ticket.

CANNOT GRANT REQUEST
To Bring Home Dead Soldiers by the Solace
Would Be Bad Precedent.

Washington, Nov 27-Representative
Gillett of Massachusetts,. has been active
for several days past in an effort to in
dgce the government to consent to tine
Immediate removal to this country of the
remains Of Massachusetts soldiers who
lost their lives during the Santiago CAM
paign and were buried there.
Ills application WAS the subject of con-
the conclusion was reached thar ii would
not be altogether right to discriminate in
this matter in favor of the soldiers of
any particular state. but that general
effort should be made ito bring home the
remains of all the American soldiers who
fell in the Cuban campaign as suitable
and complete arrangements can be
effected.
Representative Gilledt asked that the
bodies of certain Massachusetts soldiers
be brought nome by the naval and hos
p.taa ship SOlace, now about TO leave San
tia2o for the United States, but after
consultation with Sec. Alger and Acting
Sec. Alien 1T was decided that this could
non be done without establishing prece-
dent which would probably be very
troublesome in the future.
1t is understood that it is the purpose
of the government to send a corps of
unde!tokers TO Cuba and Porto Rico
equipped with all necessary facilities for
the removal OF the brave American dead
to the United States for dnterTnent near
their former homes.
4 ship is to he chartered and fitted out
for the special purpose of transporting
the bodies.

WE LAND IN CHINA.
Marines Sent Ashore at lien Tsin To Protect
American Consulate.

Washington, Nov. 27.-United States
marines have been landed IN china. A
dispatch was received a the navy depart
of the Boston had landed his marine
guard at 1ien Tsin.
The dispatch was taken Immediately to
the White House by Acting Secretary
Allen.
Assistant Secretary Allen says the
landing was made in compliance with a
request from the American consul at
Tien Tsin, not because of any Informal
ton of wioting or attacks upon American
missionaries, but solely to act as a guard
for the United States legation at Pekin.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth CT the Pie Ho river, several weeks
ago, at the instance of United States
Minister Conger, to provide a guard for
the legation.
The minister represented that nearly all
of the legations of the European powers
We're provided with marine guards, and
he did not care to be exceptional in tins
case.
After lying at Taku for a while, the
E. Boston u worked her way up the river TO
for vessels of her class and distant about
50 or 60 miles from Pekin.
1t is befieved at the navy department
that the marines will be sent forward
from that point in launches or small
river boats. Capt Frank Wildes, COM
Eandor of the Boston, did not state in
his ca5legram how many men were in the
guard, but the force is not expected to
exceed two dozen men.
The presence of these foreign guards is
not welcome to the Chinese government.
When the landing was first proposal It's
representative sought to dissuade the
United States government from intiictlng
this humiliation upon it, and the effect
was TO cause delay in The execution OF
the purpose.
Advices that reach the state depart
ment do not indicate AN immediate out
break in China. But the reactionary
policy of the Empress Dowager has
caused very uneasy feeling, and mag:
afford one or more of the European pow,
ers who have been active in Eastern af-
fairs pretext for making a coup with
results affecting the interests of the
UNITED States.

PRESIDENT IGLESIAS
Explains Attitude OF Costa RIGA Toward the
Proposed hicaraguan Canal.

Washington, Nov. 27.-President Ig-
lesias of Costa Rica called at the White
House, yesterday, and had long in
terview with President Mckinley. The
subject of their conversation is said to
| have been the Nicaragua canal and
kindred topics. After the interview
with President Mckinley. the Costa
Rican President was shown through
Mansion.
President Iglesias called to return the
visit the secretary of state made to him
at his hotel the day after his arrival
here. He improved the opportunity to
| make a, full presentation of the attitude
of the government of Costa Rica in the
matter of the construction of the Mic
| araguan canal.
| The San Juan river, which is to form
large part of the Nicaragua canal
| system, lies in its lower portion be-
tween Nicaragua and Costa Rica. and
the Costa Rcan government claims
that it has equal rights with Nicaragua
i'll any disposition that may be made of
this stream. This right was recognized
| formally by til United States govern
ment in the drafting of the celebrated
Ffelipghuysan treaty in President Ar
thurs administration, by provision
tuf the issue of a certain amount of
bonds to Costa Rica, and also in later
Ellis considered by Congress.
The Nicaraguan government, how
ever does not admit the validity of the
claim to consideration on the part Of
Costa Rica, and the government of the
latter probably was impelled to take
steps to safeguard it's rights through
the grant of the Cragin-Eyre conces-
sion, which ignored Costa Rica en-
tirely.
Secretary Hayehas it in his power to
bring about the recognition of the conl
solfdaton of the three states, Nickagua
Honduras and Salvaor, into the repub-
lie of Central America. and his action
in this matter would have some ipflu
ence of value upon the Cragin-Eyre
concession. and as a secondary result,
upon the Costa Rican claim to consid-
Grafton.
Should he decline to recognize the
consolidation and insist on holding the
state of Nicaragua fully responsible for
the acts of the Independent nation OF
Nicaragua, the way would be left open
to insist on the binding force of the
concession Of the present Maritime
Canal Company. and consequently by
implication TO reflect upon the value of
