Mound City Standard
(POp): On last Sunday
IN
GENERAL.

makes the Spanish fight rather than sur
render is the knowledge that their home
government will hang them for traitors
II they don't. The Spanish officer has no
choice; he must fight till dead or get
hanged
London Spectator: So far as the Ger
man and American naVies go there
would be no comparison. A struggle be-
tween them would be very short and
very complete, and II would surprise
Emperor William, who thinks himself
invinclble, but his self-Confidence cannot
alter history.
Spring Hill New Era (Pop): The
Topeka Capital and Kansas City Jour
nal keep harping about fat money, and
asserting what a failure It has always
been. Yet Uncle Sam keeps right on
making his fat money and making 1t as
good as gold. He would be wiser than
Webster's dictionary If he knew how to
make any other kind Of money
Senator Thurston (Rep.), OF Nebraska,
at Duluth, In 1896: Il is the duty of the
empIOye, knowing that the interest of
the employe and employer must be the
same, in the face of a complicated and
difficult question which the average en-
ploye Is not fitted to comprehend or dis
cuss, to leave the decision to his en-
ployer and vote as his employer says.
Almena Lantern (Pop.): The reform
forces of the State have shown good
judgment and true patriotism in unit
ing harmoniously on a ticket. This will
insure the election Of the entire ticket

sure the people an administration of
progression, an administration for the
people and in the interest Of humanity.
Kansas City Tribune (Rep.) The
express and telegraph companies, by re-
fusing to pay the stamp tax, are but
storing up wrath unto the day Of wrath.
An outraged public sentiment In Kan
sRs, and other States as we'll, will re-
taliate by legislation that will shake
these concerns out Of their boots, and
there will be no one to blame but them
selves.
Kansas City Gazette: During the Civil
war homesickness filled more graves
than the bullets Of the enemy, and was
the inclpient cause of many diseases
that brought untimely death to thou
sands Of brave men. Every old soldier
Knows this, and he knows 1t is a sick
ness not to be lightly spoken Of, since
a large percentage, II not majority, OF
the men who died, except, of course,
those who fell In battle or died of
woulds or in prison from starvation,
died Of 1t, although the official reports
sdo not name 1t.
Medicine Lodge Index (Pop.): It's
risky business to pick one man out
0f 10000 or more and send him to Con-
gross to do what the people want him
10 do unless you have the compelling
power behind him. Most Congressmen
never give the wishes OF their constltu-
Ancy single thought because they can
make more for themselves by serving the
iobbyist. II we had the imperative man
date the people could very soon recall
auch hired tools. A public servant
should always be kept within the reach
5pi those whom he serves.
Wichita Beacon (Dem.): England
rules India, while the Indians have NO
say whatever about England. Twenty
tive million people rule 250, 900, who
,in turn have no say In the affairs Of the
nation that governs them This may
,Ne defended on commercial grounds, but
what sort Of republic is that wherein
w few rule the many. It is imperialism
'plfe and simple. The Republican party
4n Its present course is simply estab-
Aishing monarchy. It has always been
lR favor Of class rule and Of establish
SlnE an aristocracy of wealth, but this Is
perhaps the first overt act In favor Of
the republic with an en-
sfll'e.
