The political horizon does not now
present any great national issue which is
at all likely to overshadow the silver
question. 1t is as important to the ma
tional welfare as two years ago. These
facts justify a fusion of the Free Silver
forces Of Colorado in both state and
county campaigns. This is not an apol-
ogy for fusion-none is needed-but a
statement of the situation which makes
the fusion of the silver forces the polite
and logical action.

TIRED DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic party of Kansas or
ganically and individually, are tired of
Fusion. The party was originally sold
out to the Pops for mess Of pottage
which was SO long since eaten that
the Decomratic party has almost for
gotten how to be hungry. Being denied
by the last Pop convention of even a
morsel the fellows begin to feel a
general goneness, and the inquiry is
going the rounds Of the inner circles of
the Democratic contingent What are
we here for?" The query is seIf-an-
swering. Barney sheridan, Bailie Wag-
ner, David Overmeyer, ct al, are Civ
ing voice to the general conviction that
the farce has had its run and the cur
tain must be pulled if the party Of JEFF
ferson and Jackson is not to wink its
last wunk on the Pop-polluted plains
of Jim Lane and John Brown. The
boys are tired of playing "particeps
criminis," and not being counted in as
an accessory after the fact" The
Democratic party of Kansas started in
To work the Pop party, with the result
that they have been themselves done
to a finish. There is but one chance
left for them, and that is to turn about
and do up the Pop party and then start
IN again on their own hook

under ali the circumstances Spain did
not concede the demand of the United
States and evacuate Cuba rather than
go into a hopeless war. or why. later
on the sinking Of the Philippine feet,
they did not sue for peace by surren
dering Cuba and asking the retention
of the Philippines. The truth IS, the
government Of Spain has not been blind
70 the hopelessness Of either struggle.
But il also saw that whichever way
the turn was made the Spanish govern
ment was doomed. II became a choice
IN going down and out in surrender or
in blazing struggle Of glory. The
struggle came but not the chance for
glory Premier Sagasta Is a shrewd
and experienced statesman and has
talked for peace midst the storm which
envelops him, storm of Spanish pride
and love OF dominion centuries old.
Sagasta realizes that the Spanish peO-
pie have no understanding Of the extent
and losses which a hopeless war has
brought upon Spain. They are think
ing, at worst, of giving up Cuba. The
premier must perceive that his country
is in imminent danger of being stripped
Of all her colonies. He is afraid no
doubt, that when the nation begins to
appreciate what peace will entail there
viii be a fresh outburst Of the never
giVe-up feeling with which Spain went
to war. That is why the Spanish min
istry cannot make terms just yet
There must be more despair and weari-
ness at home in order that grave
losses outside Of the Iberian peninsula
may not be followed by revolution and
anarchy in Spain.
1t is hard position for any minister,
and few statesmen would care to take
Sagasta's place for any possible con-
sideration.

the furnishing of funds. are getting
ready to raise a howl against war
taxes. IN truth, the Pop state conven-
ton of Kansas has already denounced
the issuance Of bonds for carrying on
the war. The new law went into effect
last Tuesday. Nobody denies that
these taxes VIII impose a burden upon
the people yet few will really feel II
or be able TO place their fngr upon a
single thing in the way Of a personally
realized burden. Nobody is TT to be
called an American who is found rails
ing his voice against tax so equitably
cause. the cause Of humanity. The
Pops will try, nevertheless, to make ii
appear that the taxes are oppressive
and an outrage. For instance thirty
millions are TO be raised by an extra
tax on beer. The Pop howl will be that
this tax will come from the poor man.
1t will not. The brewer and the re-
taller VIII feel its brunt, but the beer
drinker will get the same sized mug at
LliE same price. Anyhow, AdIISdS -
supposed TO be opposed to beer drink
ing, TO be an abstainer, a prohibition
state. Still, the howl will be heard all
the same. The increase on tobacco and
cigars will largely, if not entirely, fall
upon the manufacturer, not the con-
sumer. Some Of the taxes will, Of
course, be paid directly by the people
but the greater portion Of the revenue
to be derived by the government under
the new law will be secured in a way
which viii not be felt or appreciated by
the masses. We Go not believe the
Popocratic attempt to weaken the adj
ministration and the party in power by
attacking the war revenue law viii
succeed, for all such attacks will be an
insult TO the patriotism Of the people,
who are willing to pay the taxes with
out complaining until the expenses Of
the war have been met.

THE NEW BONDS DESIRABLE.

Had not congress made the new
100000 900 loan a popular one that is,
one offered first to the people direct in
small denominations, the capitalists of
the great cities would have been hag-
Cling over the terms and complaining
that they could not possibly float them.
But now that the people are to have
! the first chance the money mongers
are crazy to get them. The old Cleve-
! land syndicate offered to take the full
issue. Later, on day before yester-
| day a single bankink institution noti-
! fed the government that it would
! take the entire lot. The denominations
of these new bonds run as low as 500
and up to $4,000. They are to be sold
| at par, will run twenty years and will
draw interest at the rate of 10 per cent.
! Subscriptions viii be received until
July A. and after that date the bonds
viii be allotted. Subscriptions under
$500 must be paid in a lump sum, but
! those over $500 can be paid in Install
ments Of 90 per cent each, the bonds
being delivered as they are paid for.
1t is believed that the loan will not
only prove popular but that it viii be
taken by the people before the big
money syndicates can have a chance.
a number Of men in Wichita have for
warded subscriptions for amounts
ranging from $40 to $500. The buying
of the bonds will not only give the peo-
pie chance to furnish patriotic aid
to the government but it will afford a
fine opportunity for the safe invest
ment of savings. The rate of interest
is one per cent lower than that paid
by the ordinary savings bank, but the
bonds are non-taxable, and are there
fore more profitable in fact. Their Sc
curity is beyond question. 1t has here
tofore been the belief that only men
with large amounts of idle capital
could afford to invest money in govern
ment securities paying as low a rate
Of interest as 3 per cent, and it is a
fact that many wealthy persons have
preferred a low rate, longtime govern
ment bond as an investment to an in
dustrial enterprise which might yield
a higher return, but which was attend
ed by risk.
The people are, however, to have the
first chance at these bonds, and if they
fail TO subscribe for them then the gov
eminent Will have to turn to the bank
ers and to the persons who have idle
cap ital awaiting investment. If the en-
tire issue Of $2oOOO0,000 could be sold
in small denominations to the people
it would be a good thing in more re-
spects than one. There is millions of
money boarded or hid away by peo-
pie who are afarid of saving instiJu-
lions and of banks ofau kinds which
would be thus put into circulation. OF
course a portion of the bank deposits
of the country viii be converted into
these securities. but not to such an ex-
tent as Will be felt by the banks.

WHY THEY FIGHTIT.

The reason for the opposition Of the
Sugar trust to Hawaiian annexation
can be easily understood when it is
stated that the trust viii lose about
100000 annually if the islands are
annexed. Under present laws the
crude sugar of the islands is admitted
duty free, but the refined and light
colored raw sugar IS taxed 50 high
that il can not be imported. Thus the
trust gets its raw sugar cheaply. and
is protected from outside competition.
\ quarter or a half cent profit on a
pound gives the trust s. or $40 eain on
a ton. The Hawaiian crop is about
10000 tons annually. on this crop the
trust may make s. 100000 a year. When
the islands are annexed all sugar
taxes VIII disappear and the trust viii
not have the islands sugar at its
mercy. The islands VIII then compete
with the trust. The expense Of ship
ping a ton Of sugar To England over
that to the United States is $3.50. The
trust takes advantage Of this by
forcing the Hawaiian producers to sell
to them at $3.50 a ton less than 70 the
regular American market. This is an
other gain OF $3.50 900 per annum On the
$4,000 tons Of Hawaiian sugar. When
the islands are a part OF the United
States there VIII be no duties 10 pro
tect the trust and il viii lose the Ha-
waiian trade and with it the S3,o12. 800
profit annually.

M'KINLEY PLEASED.

President Mckinley is very much
pleased with the intrepidity Of the 900
marines who landed at Guantanamo.
The president being a soldier of expert
ence himself must find pleasure about
every day over the brave and manly
bearing of the officers and men of both
the navy and army. These six hun
dred marines held their ground bravely
and securely against great odds, and
so did Dewey and so HObsOn. With
his experience of the vicisstudes and
disasters of war, the president left no
effort untried to avert it. But now
that it is on his satisfaction must be
akin to pride over the way the men
who chose him as their chief conduct
tests of bravery. The marines were
subjected to attacks which for three
days gave them almost no time for
sleep or to recover from the fatigue of
long fighting and dreadful exposure to
the enemys fire. But, aided by we'll
directed fire from the war ships, they
held their own and thus demonstrated
their excellent discipline. Never be-
fore under fire, they stood their ground
like veterans and displayed a heroism
which reflects credit upon the flag and
country they represent. If the whole
army now under way for their relief
and assistance is composed of such
fighting material, it will not take long
TO force the surrender of Santiago.

An item in yesterday morning
Eagle asserted that Wichita had inau-

lice law. That was a lapsus calami.
The Eegle itself opened the fight on
that measure when it was still pend
ing as a bill, and before it became a
law. It fought it as being a relic OF
mediaevaHsm. as being not govern
ment Of the people, but a government
of favoritism by rings; fought it in the
face Of the entire Republican party Of
Kansas. and fought it until the policy
which the measure had been adopted
to enforce had relegated the Republi-
can party in the state, after which we

the editor Of the Eagle honestly and

the iniquity, he was defeated in conven-
ton for the Republican nomination for
governor by the machine towards and

party. Last came Leedy with his COM

nouncing that the police commission
rule had failed because the executive
heads Of the state had been themselves,
respectively, failures, and that he
would demonstrate how, by the proper
handling of the police commissions,
