school election and the following

Geo. C. Charlton, director for a

Ellsworth Populist: Don't worry
about the Peoples party of the State Of
Kansas. There are too many counties
that have elected their county tickets
and too many POpulist newspapers to
surrender their organization. To sur
render their organization would only
mean that their work for the past eight
years had been fruitless and to so back
into the two old parties means that we
would accomplish nothing for reform.
You can accomplish more in the way Of
reform by holding the balance OF power
of the old parties. We can only force
our principles to the front by staying
together. We have elected the most re-
sponsible officer in the county this year
when you consider the business interests
Of the county.
Salina Union (Pop): The election OF
the Republican ticket Is simply due to
the apathy of the farmers. Instead Of
going to the polls, the farmers remained
at home, and the returns from the county
precincts show heavy Populist losses.
This apathy had no ground for existence.
It was created by the failure Of the last
Legislature to pass railroad bill. The
reason the Legislature did not pass a
maximum freight bill was because 1t
would have been declared unconstitu-
tlOnal. The average farmer OVerlooks
this point; gives the administration no
credit for the numerous beneficial laws
1t has enacted, and complains because

wise, was not passed. This proves that
the average country POpulist is too eX-
acting and fails to give credit where
credit Is due.
Dave Leahy, in Wichita Beacon: It IL
announced in a dispatch from Topeka
that the young lady stenographers In
the State house have no plans for the
future They are all fine types of the
best womanhood Of the State Of Kansas
and they will get along, plans or no
plans. If the girls in the State house
had gone on the hustings instead Of the
men the result of Tuesdays election
would have been different. Some Of the
finest girls on earth are In the State
house.
Burlington Courier (Pop.) A perusal
of our exchanges discloses the reason for
POpulist defeat. Everywhere the tale Is
the same. The farmers did not go to
the polls. They believe just as thor
Oughly in the fundamental principles OF
Populism but neglected the important
work of giving emphatic endorsement OK
them at the polls. Just why this indiffer-
ence should prevail this year is another
question, upon whose solution depends
future success or failure. But 1t Is clear
ly evident that the Republicans have
gained nothing in point OF numbers.
They possess the Fictitious success Of
holding the offices for the next two years,
but unless they make a radical change
In their policies, unless they do more for
the people and less for the corporations,
they will find the people again united
against them in 1900.

now in Cuba between 10000 and 100,-

The fact that the Philippines Will

and may require some attention. but it
is hoped that the reconstruction of the
island will be commenced with their
hearty support and approval.
The suggestion raised by Spain that
territory could not be alienated without
the consent of the Cortcs was answered
by the President. who regarded the
formal act of cession by the Cortes a
mere formality.
The developments of the last two
days have brought Il marked feeling of
relief. Many of the Cabinet officers are
arranging to leave the city on vaca-
tions, and orders are being prepared to

be termed temporary peace footing.
