A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY,

If President Mckinley intervenes
in the war between Spain and Cuba,
and notifies the Spaniards forthwith to
quit, cease and be done with their
starvation and butchery, he should
have the support Of every American
without regard to party, in whatever
crisis may ensue. The fact that the
same butcheries, and the same barbar-
tiles have been continued for three or
four years within the knowledge Of this
government should not in any degree
prejudice any one against it when at
last it takes a notion to act.
The report of the court of inquiry
leaves the matter of the blowing mp of
the Maine, practically though not verb.
ally 80 expressed, charged against the
Spaniards. 1t finds there to be little
doubt that it was caused by the explo-
sion of submarine mine. If heSpan.
ish authorities who designated the spot
for the Maine to anchor did not know
of the eXistance of mine, they were
culpable for their ignorance or negli
gence, If they did know of it they may
reasonably be accused of conspiring for
her destruction.
However, the course of the president
in not making that disaster the matter
of prime Importance as a foundation
for his demands on Spain, but in basing
them on the broader and more truly
humane considerations of the savagery
of her warfare in Cuba, conducted on
lines and methods revolving to Nine
teenth century civilization, and more in
keeping with the darker chapters of
ancient or medieval history, appears to
be wise and we'll considered.
1t takes from the quarrel the ele-
ments of selfish personal dispute and
elevates it to a plane of humanitarian
dignity. AT times he has seemed to
waver and his course has apparently
been shifted and modified a number of
times since the gravity of the situation
has been felt. There must be nothing
of this kind from the moments his de-
mands are made. If the dignity of this
nation is maintained as can be very
easilv doue by course Of 6rmness con-
sistent with the means and resources
at his command, it is an opportunity
to make very popular mau out of very
weak material. Such opportunities are
seldom presented to mediocre states
manship.

THE BANKERS, BILL.

This administration is probably
bound to 90 on record on some sort Of
currency bill. The Dingley bill is not
serving we'll enough to make CAM
paigu on and they want some measure
they can put before the people and say:
"the amelioratiOn of the times needs
the passage of this bill, but the dirty
popocrats won't let US pass it," A
number of different measures have been
suggested along practically the same
lines which were first laid down by the
American bankers association in meet
ing at Baltimore. The subcommittee
of the House committee on currency
and banking has now brought out bill
which is quite likely to meet the re.
quirments; for of all Of them it is most
infamous. 1t retIres the greenbscks
and also the Sherman notes and re-
places them with national bank notes
The banking system un Ter it is to be
reOrganized and the bank currency 10 to
be secured by a small tax on the circu-
latiOn to maintain reserve fund out
of which to redeem notes of insolvent
banks, as we have suggested Ould be
done, for paying depOstOrs of insOlvent
banks. But the most suggestive and
infamous feature of the bill is what sill
yer men have for some time prOphesied
would soon come, namely, redeeming
standard silver dollars in gold. silver
certificates are to be redeemed in silver
dollars and the silver dollars in gold.
This is said to be to maintain parity"
as if parity" had not been maintained
for 10, these many years with silver
dollars redeemable in nothing but the
products of the country.
The absolute control of practically
all the currency of the country is placed
at the disposal of the banks, The only
redeeming feature IS that the banks
instead of the government would have
the burden of keeping gold enough to
redeem the paper currency. This, it IS
urged by both Cleveland and Mckinley
would obviato recurring bond issues for
that purpose. But here the govern
nent is charged with the burden Of
maintaining gold redemption fund
'Or redeeming the whole volume of
1895, 900, 900 of silver circulation and
caves the "endless chain" to work |
through the silver circulation as it did |
through the greenbacks. Perhaps the |
scheme is to so discredit it that it can |
% turned over to the banks to control |
Is they propose to do with the green
} icks.
In infamy and outrageous unfairness
o the people and of privilege to the
bankers, this measure has never had a
parallel in Congress.

A SHORT time ago, at the request of
friends, the editor of this paper wrote
Congressman at-Large BOtkin with
reference 10 bill he had introduced
granting a pension to Martha j. Banks
the widow of Rivers Banks, an old
time and well-known citizen of this
city. The following is the reply re-
ceived, which speaks for itself:
DEAR SIR: Yours of the 10Th rela-
tive to House bill No. lab, granting a
pension to Martha j Banks, has been
received. | have not yet been able to
get the bill acted upon by the commit
tee but will do so as soon as possible
1t is very slow work. This Congress is
very anxious to make record of econ
Omy in order to make the DIngley bill
show up as we'll as possible. It is go
ing to be b I'd work. therefore, to get
these pension bills through. There are
several thousand pending before the
committee and 1t seems as Though every
delay possible IS resorted to. There is
nothing further that can be done to as.
sist in securing its passage. The only
thing that stands in the way is the dill.
at0ry tactics Of the majority members

SOME people hold Rrudge against
State Superintendent SLryker, who If
they better understood all that he has
done and is doing would humbly thank
their stars that he 10 superintendent.
For years and years the 'chart fiends"
have been getting in their graft on
abOnt three-fOurths Of the districts of
the State. This week Mr. Jones, who
is now in the city representing corn
stalk loader, and VINO was formerly an
agent for one OF these chart companies
in Missouri, informs US that the orig
inal cost of them is only from SIS 90 to
Sl2 90 and in that State they were sold
to the districts at from $1,000 to $40 90
But in this State they have been sold at
from 1877 so to $45 90 each. Mr.. Stry-
ker has rooted up an old decision on the
point rendered IN 1879 by Justice
Brewer, who is now one of the justices
of the United States Supreme Court,
when he was chief justice of the State,
all the justices cOncurring, to the effect
that school boards have 20 right to
purchase such charts without being
delegated authority by a vote of the
district. 1t was the duty of any State
superintendent who had something
further in his purpose than filling up
a vacuum and drawing his salary, . to
call attention to such matters and see
that the law as thus laid down is en-
forced; but Mr.. Stryker is the first to
ever do anything. Had it been done
before it would have saved the people
of the State many thousands OF dol
lars, for upon vote these charts could
be purchased direct from the supply
companies at small margin of profit.
The peoples party is against these
snaps by which few people can make
big money with little work and much
scheming. The great regret is that
we have not such an administration
as would look after the big
jobs that State officers cannot reach.

The comparative prosperity of Kan
sas during the past year has demon
strated one thing to certainty, i. g..
that, of whatever there is in the United
States that is sweet, wholesome, en-
tightening and elevating, Kansas will
have her full share. There cannot be
a particle of doubt but that she
has pad off more mortgages during
the past year than any other State in
the Union. There is not another State
in which the bank reserves are so enOr-
nous and IN which the farmers have
made so many Improvements. In this
immediate vicinity we do not feel the
inhatus so much, for the reason that
last year was particularly a wheat year
and this corn country. But taking
the State as whole, there is none we
believe that can show up with Kansas.
1t is not because of anything that Nc
Kinley has done. 1t is only in part
because of anything this popnlist ad-
ministratiOn has done. 1t is chiefly be-
cause it is Kan Ias, and nature has
trigOed us out in our Sunday clothes
while Others wear their "hOdden gray"
While prices in the East are still ped
aling down the steep, here has at least
been a halt. The omens of another
westward immigration appear and alto
gether we are the happiest people in
the union this year.

WITH half a dozen resolutions for
recognition of the independence of
Cuba introduced in Congress and the
general expression of lmpatience, the
president should have no hesitation
about acting decisively. With the ex-
scutiye waiting on the legislative
branch to tell him what to do, or to do
something itself, it will be mighty hard
for any republican even to lind any
heroic or venerable stuff in Mckinley.
