Leland and StanIey's Cabinet.

Assembled around him ICY Leland)
is a gallant band of young, generous
aud lofty spirits, like George Findlay,
LltCrum, FrankBrown, MCIJ Albaugn,
jim Simpson and their associates,
animated by the patriotic passion
winch drives heroes TO battle an d
all martyrs to the state. To Say that
these eminent citizens are attracted
to Cy Leland like flies to feculence,
like buzzards tOcarrion, or EsQuimaux
to an occasional walrus, Is an Otfense
not defined 10 the criminal code. To
continually stigmatize these young
men as professional buns and muck
worms, living at political free lunch
counters, scurvy thimble riggers.
crooks, gamblers. bunco steerers and
confidence men who have worked con-
ventions and legislatures, as fakirs
and pickpOckets follow circus;
boodling bawdS and drabs whose
leDrous infection no potash, no mer-
curry, nor Hot Springs can cure, is aD
outrage on decency and truth. If
there is any dirty work about legis-
latures, any voters to be bought,
any reports to be smothered, any
statutes to be mutilated, the people
know it is done by Cy Leland and his
cabinet. From John J. Ingalls, in.
terview on Cy Leland, January 4th,
1898.
The election Of Stanley to the
governorship means that Cy Leland
and the above named political
parasites will control his administra-
ton and hold the offices. Already
the positions of railroad com
missioner, superintendent of in
surance. warden of the penitentiary
and private secretary have been
pledged to this array of political
trimmers. The voters who are ex-
pected to reinsiate this gang Of
plunderers in power in Kansas will
have no part in the distribution Of
the spoils. The little band Of
Leland strikers who have control oil
the Republican state central com
mittee will hold the offices.

accord with President Mckinley. In
his speech at the peace jubilee bans
quet at Chickgo last week the presi-
dent said:
"The war with Spain was under
taken not that the United States
should increase its territory but that
the oppression at our doors should be
stopped. This Lobe sentiment must
continue to animate US and we must
give to the world the full demOnstra'
ton Of the sincerity of our purpose. "
In the light of this statement by
the president, it will be seen that
Jerry Simpson is Sustaining the
President" while Chester l. Long
and his bombastic gang who bray so
loudly about expansion, are oppoS-
ing the presidents policy.
Notwithstanding there is no issue
on this point except it be against
them, the postofice organs are
pretending to work themselves
into a frenzy for fear the government
will be turned over to the Spaniards,
but the people certainly need no
caution to eschew such twaddle.
1t should not be overlooked, how.
ever that in narrowing their claim:
for election to this one tissue" they
abandon the real issues and &C.
knowledge their inability to meet u:
on them.

]. W. Lockman will be elected
county commissioner in the south
district. We hear this from all
sides. His defeat would turn the
board over to the Republicans; the
taxpayers Of the county will remem-
Der that the Populist boards have
reduced the county expenses from
$4,000 per year to 100000. This
ought to be an inducement to re-

But One Issue and It a Fraud.


ed along the line among the Repub-
lican campaigners to place the whole
campaign on the one issue, viz:
Sustain President Mckinley"
If this is the only question at
stake there is no issue in this cam
paign at all. There is not populist,
a Democrat, Socialist, a Prohibit
zionist or what-not who is not in
favor OF sustaining President Nc
Kinley in the points at issue between
the United States and Spain. Since
Populists and Democrats were more
potent in pushing the president for
ward to do his duty in the cause of
the suffering Cubans than his own
party they are not the people who
will desert him until the job is done.
Therefore all this gush about foreign
countries constituting Democratic or
Populist success at the polls as a
condemnation of the presidents war
policy is pure and unadulterated
demagoguery. 1t would never have
been thought of outside Of a political
campaign. The hope is to deceive
some thoughtless people and induce
them to come to the aid of sinking
craft, or to whip the many disguised
Republicans back into the support
Of the gang" again.
The Spanish war has been fought
aud won, and who will say that any
political party proved recreant in
any way. As for the future, is there
any party favoring yielding back
to Spain of single foot of territory
acquired? Not one. All agree that
Spain shall never acquire what she
has lost.
Our beloved contemporary over
the way, voicing the sentiment that
has come down to it from the Kan.

tai and the Wichita Eagle, boldly
closes column editorial with this
outrageous statement;
When you vote for Jerry Botkln
and jerry Simpson yeu line uD under
the Spanish flag and not under the
American flag.
This is outrageous because it is false;
outrageous because it is the bases,
demagoguery; outrageous because it
does injustice to one.half the patriots
OF this nation. People who love
tair play will resent it at the polls
The ambitious candidates who in
spire such base SANDER upon one
half their constituency will suffer de
served defeat.
Jerry Simpson and Jerry Botkir
both say that it is our duty as a ma.
ton to hold the captured territor,
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
pines-to protect, defend and COVER
them with fatherly hand until b
the means of education and develop

his speeches that if necessary to d
this he will vote to construct ii

fields. This, however. is in only few places. The greatest damage now Is from pole sweat, as the tobacco is so exceptionally large. Every effort is be- Ing made by the farmers to give the to- bacco plenty of room in the shed, and unless a wet, foggy spell sets in the sweat will be avoided. Some of the crops have suffered by flea bites, but this is not general and happens more or less every year, more to the Havana than to broad leaf.
 Some of the farmers have already sold their crop of Havana for report ed price of twenty cents q pound in the bundle. This is much better price than has prevailed here for the past two years, but good authorities say that a better price would be obtained by waiting. The farmers who raise Havana seed get as a rule higher price per pound than those who raise broad leaf, but the difference in weight will usually make up for the difference in price, and there is not so much dam age by getting poor crop. Shed room Is in demand, and some of the farmers will build more barns to house their crop, while many will rent room.

CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Washington, Aug. 18.-Sir William T.. Marriott and Walter Morehead of Lon don, representing English holders of Central Pacific railroad stock, called on the president to-day and later had a conference with the attorney general. The object of their visit to Washington was to learn the purposes of the gov ernment with respect to foreclosure proceedings or action under the au- thority granted by congress at it's last session to effect a settlement with the Central Pacific and Western Pacific companies. They also asked permis- sion to be represented in any proceed ings contemplating a. settlement with the Central Pacific. No definite answer could be given them at this time as to what action would be taken in the premises. The government, however, it was said, could not undertake to set tie any matters of difference between the company and the shareholders, its principal concern being to secure the liquidation of it's own liens upon the road. Messrs. Marriott and Morehead returned to New York this afternoon, where theyw confer with other share holders.

COMMITTEE ON SQUARES.

The committee on squares met last night and voted unanimously to recom- mend to the court of common council that the triangular plot of land at the junction of Davenport, Congress and Columbus avenues be graded. In re- gard to the petition for bicycle path across Edgewood Park from Chapel street to Whalley avenue, the commit tee decided to recommend that the city engineer be requested to furnish an es- innate of the cost, that is, as to how much it would cost to top dress space four feet wide in the center of the drive, also to build two paths, each two feet wide and one on each side of the drive. It is probable that whichever of these plans will by the estimates be found to entail the least cost will be recommend ed.

Hesterday's Early News-A Dispatch from Merritt-Instruction Sent. Washington, Aug. 1S,-The war de- partment this morning received dis patch from General Merritt, reporting the fall of Manila and giving the de- tails of the demand for surrender and incidents preliminary to the final cap lure of the city.
 The dispatch, which has been eagerly awaited, was immediately communicat- ed to President Mckinley. It reads as follows:
 Manila, Aug. 1S. "Adjutant General. Washington
 ''On the 7th instant Admiral Dewey joined me in forty eight hour notiflca- tion to Spanish commander, to remove non-combatants from the city. Same date, reply received expressing thanks for humane sentiments, and stating Spanish without places of refuge for non-combatants now within walled town.
 "On 9th inst. sent joint note inviting attention to suffering in store for sick and non -combatants in case it became our duty to reduce the defenses, also setting forth hopeless condition of Spanish forces, surrounded on all sides, fleet in front, no prospect of reinforce ments, and demanded surrender as due to every consideration of humanity; same date received reply admitting their situation, but stating council of defense declares request for surrender cannot be granted but offered to con- suit government if time was granted necessary for communication via Hong Kong. Joint note in reply declining. "On the 18th joined with navy in at tack with following results: After about half hours accurate shelling of Spanish lines, McArthur's brigade on right and Greens on left, under Ander son, made vigorous attack and carried Spanish works. Loss not accurately known-about fifty in all. Behavior of troops excellent; cooperation of the navy most valuable. Troops advanced rapidly on walled city, upon which white flag was shown, and town capitu- lated. Troops occupy Malate, Binonde, walled city, San Miguel. All important centers protected. Insurgents kept out. No disorder or pillage.
 Merritt The war department to-day made public the order sent to General Merritt last evening regarding the occupation of the city of Manila by the American forces. The order follows:
 'Adjutant Generals Office,
 Washington, Aug. IT. "Major General Merritt, Manila, Philip
 pines:
 "The president directs that there must be no joint occupation with the insurgents. The United States, in pos session of Manila city, Manila bay and harbor, must preserve the peace and protect the persons and property with in the territory occupied by their mili- tary and naval forces. The insurgents and all others must recognize the mili- tary occupation and authority of the United States and the cessation of hos tilities proclaimed by the president. Use whatever means in your judgment as necessary to this end. All law abiding people must be treated alike.
