KANSAS DEMOCRACY.

| The democrats of the Fourth district
met at Emporia, May Sd, and nomi-
mated II. S. Martin for congress. 1t is
believed that he will be endorsed by
the populists, which means election.
Following are the main planks in the
platform:
The democrats of the Fourth con-
gressional district of Kansas, in conVen-
ton assembled, renew our allegiance
to the principles enunciated by Jeffer-
son, emphasized by Jackson and which
found their latest and best expression
III the democratic national platform
of 1896.
We are for William Jennings Bryan
for president in 1900.
We are for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold, at the ratio
of 16 to 1, and against the retirement
of the greenback currency.
We are for tariff for the treasury
instead of for the trusts.
We are for constitutional amend
ment permitting government ownership
and operation of railroads, if it shall
become settled law that legislatures
may not regulate railroad rates on the
basis of a fair return on their actual
cash value.
We are for equal competition in all
branches of business; against pools,
trusts, combines aud all other subtle
to plunder the people by COM
of capital for the control OF
production and prices, and we favor
irsstic legislation for the suppression
If such abuses.
We are fer the rigid enforcement of
he Monroe doctrine, for the liberation
# Cuba from the Spanish yoke and
or an unyielding demand on Spain for
eparation and indemnity for the Maine

All the captains of the American
ships had a fourho conference of
Cuba Sunday and another long talk
yesterday. The plans are perfectly Y
arranged. The blockade of the Cuban
ports will be maintained without the

PROJECTIONS WERE INADEQUATE.

With reference TO the catastrophe,
Eli Nacional continues: A good battery
on CorregIdOr island, with great re-
Electors and guns capable of sweeping
the seas for miles sround, would have
kept the American squadron out of the
bay. In COrregidOr there we're only a
few wretched guns taken from the war
ships a few days ago. This is the truth.
Our sailors have been basely delivered
over to the grape shot of the Yankees,
fate nobler and more worthy of re-
spect than those bapeful ministers who
brought about the first victory and its
first victims ~
II HeraldO says: ''It was no caprice
of the fortunes of war. From the very
first cannon shot our fragile ships were
at the mercy of the formidable hostile
squadron. They were condemned to
fall, one after another, under the fire
of the American batteries, pOwerless to
strike, and were defended only by the
valor in the breasts of their sailors.
What has been gained by the illusion
that Manila was fortified? What has
been gained by the intimatIOn that the
broad and beautiful bay on whose
bosom the Spanish fleet perlshed Tues
day had been rendered inaccessible?
What use was made of the famous
island of Corregidorp What was done
with its gunsP Where were the tsrpe-

preparations concerning which we were
requested to keep silentp"

LONDON, May 5.-The Madrid cores
pondent to the Daily Telegraph says:
ssThose who are best informed as to the
governments views, allege that if the
Spanish arms suffer another reverse,
like that at Cavite, the government
would informally request the great
powers to lend their service to arrange
the best possible terms Of peace. Many
liberals consider that Spain, having
maintained her honor and justified her
chivalry, can now afford to yield to
superior force, but it is doubtful whether
public opinion would approve this line
Of action.
Il am assured that the government
would be content to cede Cuba to the
| United States, but would not pay
indemnity, because unable. Well in
formed politicians here regard the war
as practically terminated and that
toward the end of May it will become
history.
"What will follow. however, it is
difficult to foresee All the elements
of long civil war in Spain are unfortu-
nately becoming visible. The govern
ment and the liberal party are popularity
hated as being responsible for the war.
The republicans possess no durable
chances of success. The conservatives
and Carlists are the real authorities of
| the future and some of the conservative
groups are gravitating toward Carlism.
The economic question, however, will
come to the front first, for hunger can

LOOK ON AMERICA AS A MENACE.
There can be no doubt that the unex-
pected success of the United States at
Manila gives little pleasure to conti-
mental politicians, who recognize that
America is now certain to become
first-class naval power and will have to
be reckoned with in the worlds affairs.
The fact that the American papers are
looking kindly upon the possibility of
British protectorate in the Philippines
gives additional umbrage, as indicating
a conveyance of America and England
toward an entente. Lord Salisbury's
speech before the Primrose league
appeared today to show that he had q
presentiment of the change now work
ing in bis vague, prophetic foreboding
of coming trouble.
The premier spoke of the Giving and
dying countries of the world aud of
how the former were gradually encroach-
ing upon the latter. lie spoke also OF
the corruption of dying countries, a
corruption so deep-seated as to give the
smallest hope to REFORM" and he re-
