PRATT POPULISTS.
Adopt Resolutions Congratulating
the State on the Populist
Administration.

Pratt May 16.-At the Popu1ist con-
vention held here Saturday to elect del
egateS to the state, congressional and
judicial conventions, the following res
olutions were adopted:
eve, the Peoples party of Pratt
county in delegate convention assem-
bled, congratulate the people of the
state of Kansas that for the past six
teen months our party has been in con-
troll of the legislative, judicial and exec
utiVe departments of the state govern
ment. To the record made by each de-
partment during this time we invite
the careful scrutiny of every honest,
unbiased citizen, and urge that thor
ough comparison of the acts and rec
ordS of each department be made with
the acts and records of any previous
Republican administration.
I'VE especially congratulate the peO-
pie of the state upon the sturdy and eff
fective fight the executive department
of our state administration in all it's
branches has made to down monopoly
and overthrow the trusts and COM
bines which previously dominated the
entire state. Every farmer and ship
per that sells or ships a pound of beef
or pork is interested in and benefited
by the successful fight made for the
overthrow of the stock yards monopoly.
1--WE indorse the acts of our represen-
tatiVeS in congress, and commend them
for their watchfulness and continuous
efforts to defeat the many schemes orig
mated by the Republicans in congress
to defraud and rob the plain people by
laws to favor monopolies and trusts;
and we especially commend to our peo-
pie the acts of Senator Harris for the
noble stand he has taken in behalf of
the people, for the determined and res
o1ute contest he inaugurated and main
tanned against the railroad syndicate
who had combined with government Of
ficials to rob the government in the ad-
justment of debts of the Union Pacific
railroads.
I'VE congratulate the people, irres-
pective of party, that our judiciary is
now the forum where the high and low
the poor and rich, the corporation and
individual, meet on common level and
receive the just and equal protection
of the law; that our highest courts are
no longer the mere register OF the will
and wish of corporations, trusts and
combines.
I'VE congratulate our people for the
firm and determined position taken by
our administration in Washington in
behalf OF humanity, and we are proud
of our army and navy"
A motion to instruct the judicial dele
gates for Judge Mckay was tabled
None of the delegates to any of the

After ALL

New York, May 16.-The Herald says:
The Heine monument, rejected by four
American and two German cities was
secretly accepted by the municipal art
committee of this city on May ). 1t
will grace a corner at Mott avenue and
161st street, borough of the Bronx. the
monument was modelled by Prof. Her
ter, for the city of Dusseldorf, the
birthplace of the German poet Heinrich
Heine. The authorities of Dusseldorf,
as we'll as those of Mayence, n. Y,
Boston, Brooklyn and HOboken reject
ed the sculpture on account of the crit
iciSm that the arrangement of the fig
ures made it unsuitable for a public
place. The figures are three nymphs

chnerse.

CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH.
Causes Much Uneasiness in Spanish
Official Circles.

Madrid Nav 16-Spain is not pleased
at the utterances on the subject of the
possibilities of an alliance between the
United States and Great Britain.
The Spanish ambassador at London,
Count Rascon, telegraphed an extract
of the recent speech OF Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain. the British secretary of
state for the colonies, at Birmingham,
on Friday evening last to Senior Gulion,
the minister for foreign affairs, who I'M
mediately conferred on the subject with
the premier, Senior SagaSta, with the
request that the latter ask the minister
for foreign affairs for a more detailed
account of Mr.. Chamberlain's remarks
Consequently the foreign minister ca
bled to Count Rascon for a full report
of the speech. This, it is understood
has been received and the Spanish
ministers were to discuss 1t at their
meeting today.
Spain, it is said, upon good authority,
will draw the attention of the powers
to the suggested AnglO-American alh-
ance with respect to European interests.
The Spanish newspapers and the poll
ticianS here of all classes discuss Mr..
CASmberlain's speech most angrtly-
They consider it to be a sequel to the
Marquis of SalisburyS warnings to
Spain whose dOminiOnS, it seems are to
be absorbed by strong enemies.
The Liberal, referring to the suggest
ed Anglo Saxon alliance, says:
eff an alliance, defensive and offenS
i've is signed, the same day the general
confagration will burst out which has
been so long suppressed by the powers.
AN Anglo-American union would be
followed by Russia and Germany with
their allies, and our western and east
ern possessions now on fire will be an
insignificant episode compared with the
conf1agration in India, South Africa and
China.
IF the Ang1o-American alliance sue
ceeds, Europe, which has hitherto been
indifferent to our cause will take our
part, not to favor us, but to defend her
own preponderance in the world
The Imparciala contrasts the speech
of Mr.. Chamberlain with the reported
action of the crew of the French cruiser
Admiral Rigault De Genoulli in cheer
ing for Spain after the bombardment of
San Juan de Porto Rico, which was wit
messed by that vessel, as being indica-
tive of a coming great war in Europe
against the AnglO-Saxons. Continu ng,
the Impartial points out that LAS Spain
single handed, makes Roadway against
the United States she would prove a
valuable factor in the combination
against the Anglo Saxons."

FIGHT IN THE FOURTH
Populists Refuse to Endorse Demo-
crat and Will Nominate Madden.

Tomorrow at Emporia, the Fourth
congressional district Populist conven-
ton will assemble for the purpose of
nominating John Madden for congress,
which will start in the district one of
the most bitter fights of the present
campaign.
Backed by Taylor Riddle, chairman
of the Populist state committee, who
apparently represents the state admin
istration, H. S. Martin of Marion,
Democrat, seeks the nomination as the
price of fusion in this state this year
This fight interests the Democrats all
over the state because they are sup
porting Martin and pressing the demand
for his nomination upon the party nlah-
ayers.
1t has been agreed that the person
who shall be nominated by the Popu-
lists, shall become the candidate, al
though there is not the slightest mol
cation that such an agreement Will be
carried into operation. Martin is now
the nominee of the Democrats. Mad
den will be nominated by the Popullsts
tomorrow.
The fact that Marion county Popu-
lists have refused to stand by their
Democratic candidate, has caused con-
siderable surprise. The convention III
that county instructed for John Mad
den and now Martin and Riddle both
are trying to explain how it happened
There were three conventions IN the
district Saturday. Lyon is for Madden;
Marion is in the same boat, While wa
baunsee goes uninstructed, but is pro-
badly opposed to Martin.
Tomorrow the whole crowd OF Dem
ocratic and Populist manipulators Will
be in Emporia to attempt solution OF
the difficulty. The Democrats Will de-
mand that Madden get out OF the way
while the Populists will insist, and sue
coed, in nominating Madden, placing
two candidates in the field.
o6 a
day. While the convention was making
an effort to instruct for Madden, ne
asked that no such action be taken He
appeared before the convention ana
made the request and suggested that
the state administration was backing
Martin. Asked by a delegate to specify,
he did so, and charged the admlnlsIra-
ton with fathering the scheme. rms
was responsible for the defeat of the
resolution instructing the delegates TO
the state convention for Gov Leedy
denomination. The delegates to the
congressional convention were not IN
structed, but Mr.. Madden selected them.

BEFORE THE SENATE.
Debate on the War Revenue Bill Has
Begun.

Washington, May 16-The senate to-
day by 80 to II, voted down an amend
ment by Mr.. Pettigrew, to local rail-
road bill, providing that the govern
ment might purchase the road at it's
cash value at any time after ten years

extent of $4,000 900.

The great majority of saloon keepers
prefer and try to run their places in an
orderly and law abiding manner. The
saloon keeper who persists in turning
his place into a gambling resort and
openly defying the law with or without
police protection simply brings odium

are repudiated by respectable liquor
Dealers the better for all concerned

So there are distinctions of moral
