some thing to say to anil about the

the Gazette into notoriety, hut for the

going on among the republicans over
WEATHER an extra session of Congress
shall be held in the spring, and it is
growing more bitter all the time. Mr.
Mckinley and the republican leaders
IN both Senate and House, agreed at
the beginning of the session that an
extra session should be avoided, if
possible; but the men who want finan-
cial Legislation as soon as the republi-
cans control both branches of Con-
gress, are working on Senators and
Representatives, i'm ordder to make an
extra session necessary, if they can
not compel Mr.. Mckinley by all sorts
of pressure, to change his mind and
agree To- call one. Democrats are not

tion Of the order OF reconcentrados, so as
TO permit the people to return to their
farms and the needy to be relieved with
provisions and supplies from the United
States, cooperating with the Spanish au-
thorities so as to AFFORD full relief.
The reply of the Spanish cabinet was
received on the night OF the Slst ultimo.
1t offers as the means to bring about peace
IN cuba, to conhde the preparation tnersoI stlI
to the insular department, inasInuch as the
concurrence Of that body would be neces-
sary to reach q final result, II being, how
ever, understood that the powers reserved
by the constitution to the central govern
ment are not lessened or diminished. AS
the Cuban parliament does not meet until
the lth OF May next, the Spanish govern
ment would not object for It's part, to ac-
cept at once suspension or hostilities II
asked for by the insurgents from the gem
eral in chief, to whom It would pertain, in
such q case, to determine the duration and
conditions Of the armistice.
In my annual message or December last
I said:
"Of the untrled measures there remain;
Recognition Of the insurgents as belliger-
ents, recognition of the independence OF
Cuba, neutral intervention to end the war
by imposing a rational compromise be-
tween the contestants and not intervention
in favor of one or the other party. l speak
not Of forclble annexation, for that cannot
be thought OF. That, by our code or moral
ity. would be criminal aggression"
ThereupOn l reviewed these alternatives,
in the light of President Grants measured
words, uttered In 1876, when after seven
years of sanguinary, destructive and cruel
barbaritles in Cuba, he had reached the
conclusion that the recognition of the In
dependence Of Cuba was impracticable and
indefensible, and that the recognition OF
belligerence was not warranted by the
facts, according to the tests Of public law.
l commented especially upon the latter as
pect Of the question, pointing out the In
convenences and positive dangers of rec
ogntion of belligerency, which, while add
ing to the already onerous burdens of
neutrality within our own Jurisdiction, could
effective offices in the territory of hosti-
ties.
The forclble Intervention of the United
The Advocate and news., 1898-04-13

States as neutral, to stop the war, ac-
cording to the large dictates of humanity
and following many historical precedents
where neighboriDg states have interfered
to check the hopeless sacrifice Of life by
internecine conflicts beyond their borders,
Is justitiable on national grounds. 1t in
wolves, however, hostile consLraint upon
both the parties to the contest as we'll as to
enforce the truce as to guide the eventual
settlement.
The grounds for such Intervention may
be briefly summarized as follows:
First-In the cause of humanity and to
put an end to the barbarites, bloodshed,
starvation and horrible miseries now eX-
isting there and which the parties to the
conflict are either unable or unwilling to
stop or to mitigate. 1t is no answer to say
this Is all in another country belonging to
another nation and is therefore none Of
our business. 1t is specially our duty, for
1t is right at our door.
SecOnd-We owe 1t to our citizens in Cuba
to AFFORD them that protection.
And indemnity for life and property
which no government there can or will
afford, and to that end to terminate the
conditions that deprive them Of legal pro-
lection.
Third-The right to intervene may be
justified by the very, serious injury to the
commerce, trade and business OF our peO-
pie and by the wanton destruction Of prop
erty and devastation of the island.
Fourth-And which is Of the most i'm
portance. The present condition or az
fairs in Cuba Is a constant menace to our
peace, and entails upon this government
an enormous expense. With such a con-
flict waged for years in an island so near
us with which our people have such trade
and business relations-when the lives and
liberty of our citizens are in constant
danger and their property destroyed and
themselves ruined-where our trading YES
sells are liable to seizure and are seized at
our very door, by warships of foreign ma
tlOn, the expeditions Of filibustering that
we are powerless to prevent altogether and
the Irritating questions and entanglements
thus arisng--all these and others that
need not mention, with the resulting strained
relations, are a constant menace and COM
pei us to keep on a semi-war footing with
a nation with which we are at peace.
These elements OF danger and disorder

watchdog Of the treasury" should be

AT the time that this affair was brought
to the attention Of the public papers
were prepared and a complaint sworn 10
for the prosecution Of Governor Morrill,
for misappropriation OF public funds, but
owing to the fact that the Republican
County Attorney Of Shawnee county In
dlcated disposition to refuse to file the
suit the matter was dropped.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Bris-
tow was Governor Morrills chief adviser
and that 1t is fair to presume that he
was as intimately connected with this
deal as the Governor himself, he was
selected as a sample Of the sort of ma
terial with which Mr.. Mckinley desired
to I'LL the offices of chiefs OF the depart
ments at Washington. Mr.. Mckinley
will doubtless be excused in this matter
on the theory that he did not know Mr..
Brlstow as we'll as Kansas people do.

and letters poured in on us without
end and the work was hard. They
would not listen to my proposal to
pay them, but insisted that the work
was done for the State and the State
should pay for 1t. They asked that
vouchers be made for that work for
extra services during the Legisla-
ture.' would not listen to that
/ said, No, don't propose to have
voucher go through this Office while
l am Governor that does not show
exactly what the money Is for
suppose that II had made out those
vouchers for extra services we
would never have heard Of it again,
but don't propose to do business
that way"
The public press made life so burden
some for the Governor that the April
salaries Of these clerks was drawn and
turned into the contingent fund, but
nothing was done about the $65.71 paid
for general Office expenses. An exami-
nation of the records fails to disclose
anything tending to show that this
amount was ever refunded to the State.
II the clerks, who according to Mr.. Nor
rill's story worked so hard, ever got any
pay for their services, 1t is known only
to Mr.. Morrill, and the clerks themselves,
as neither the State nor the public has
ever been apprised Of it. That it was
proper that they should be paid admits
Of no doubt; but there was no good rea-
son why their pay should come out Of
the State treasury. The fact that the
money was repaid does not lessen the
ground for just censure which Mr.. Morrill,
invited when he approved the vouchers.
This Is one of the cases to which the at
