quest of Mexico, or those of PiZarro,
the conquerer of Peru, of whom Pres
cot says, 1.-THE blood-stained annals of
cold hearted and systematic cruelty"
the quality of cold-blooded, british
barbarity for its own sake is always
predominant. The whole history of
the country reads alike, whether we
follow Phillip IL in his Low country
campaigns, of which Motley says, ''It
is beyond the power of mans ingenui-
ty to add any fresh features of hor-
rOT," or whether we Shudderingly
watch Weyley disembowelling scores
of innocent, helpless babes before the
eyes of their outraged mothers. The
Spanish Duke of Alva, who in addi-
tion to Strengthening countless thou
sands of defenceless peasants in the
Low countries, bOaSted that in four
years he had sent $4,000 people to the
scaffold, has in Weyler a fit successor
in the affections of a people whose
idols both in turn were and whose
ideals they embody. And history will
repeat itself, for as Alya'S atrocities
lost the Low countries to Spain, SO
Weyler,S will lose for tue Spanish peo-
pie the last vestige of their dominion
on the western hemisphere. The
American people have said it, and
with the aid of heaven, what they
have said they will do. 1t is their
business, too, for they are the leading
nation on the hemisphere-the nation
which above all others enjoys the
highest privileges as their enun-
citation of the Monroe doctrine pre-
vents the interference of other ma
tions, the duty of interfering them
selves becomes all the more obliga-
tory.
1t is, however. the duty of the
American people to keep close
watch upon themselves for they, like
other peoples, are but human. If the
war is Drotracted we must be patient;
if reverses come they must be met
with constancy and devotion. If ON
the other hand victory is easy, we
must not become intoxicated by sue
cess nor permit ourselves to become
inoculated with the spirit of con-
quest. We have never had a foreign
war that at all taxed our resources
and we do not know how powerful we
really are. If the result should show
that we are very powerful, it is all the
more reason why we should be on our
guard against becoming arrogant.
which is the capital sin of strong ma
tIons. In more material way we
should also be on our guard. War usu-
ally bepetS or is followed nv a raUe for
speculation and a haste to grow rich,
and upon this inevitably follows re-
action, panic, commercial depression
and suffering. Let US be forewarned
and keep the brakes down or victory,
even though comparatively bloodless,
will cost us dear.-X.

A FARMERS VIEW.

AS the farmers of the country con-
stitute not far from one-half its popu-
lation, their views concerning any
war in which the United States may
be involved are matter well worth
considering Only a brief study of
their attitude towards the present
war with Spain is necessary, however,
to Justify the conviction that the
proverbial patriotism of the agricul-
tural class in free country can be
implicitly relied on in this emergen-
cy. A few weeks ago there was diyi-
sion There were those who viewed
with impatience what they regarded
as the temporizing policy of the ad-
ministration in delaying a conflict
there were others who denounced as
jingoism the course of those repre-
SentativeS and senators who were ac-
tive in promoting a war sentiment.
All this was matter of temperament
rather than class, and neither view
was inspired by any lack of patriot
ism. Now, however, there is no divi-
sion among the farmers, nor indeed
among any other portion of the peo-
pie. Never has the country engaged
in war about which the sentiment
was so entirely unanimous In the
Revolution, old habits of personal
loyalty to the crown made many
tories; in the war of 1872, strong
English feeling and interrupted COM

merce created large peace party; in
both the Mexican and civil wars there
were strong anti-war factions, but in
the present crisis all divisions have
disappeared and there is not only no
anti-war party, but no sentiment out
of which to create one. The infamous
crueltieS with which Spain has so
long sought to repress Cuba's efforts
to be free have welded the public
opinion of the country into stern
and inflexible determination that
heaven will surely bless and prosper.
The horrors of Cuban sspacification"
have been such as to Sicken the civil
lied world, and such as no other ma
tiOn pretending to civilization could
have committed. They are, however,
entirely in harmony with the charac-
ter of the Spanish people, whose
heroes, from time immortal have been
able men often, but monsters of
ayarice. cruelty and oppression al

turies ago to the Weyler of to-day.
now the popular idol in Madrid. they
have been without bowels of compass
sion, and the entire history of the
country contains no name on which
magnanimity has shed its luster.

age nor sex were spared Whether

ity committed by Cortez in the con-

gagged and the land forces will compel
his surrender. If there is much hesi-
tation, Sampson can do some work
to terms
By this time, should the Spanish
navy fail TO put in an appearance,
there will be a disposition to take the
Clnary islands, off the coast of Africa.
They are protected by 1900 soldiers.
Having captured Cuba, Porto Rico,
the Philippines and the Canaries, the
next move will be to visit Spain.
Cadiz will be good mark. Especial
ly is this true if the Spanish navy con-
tinues to make this hiding place.
An invasion of Spain is not improba-
BILE. If this becomes necessary, Spain,
at the end of the war, will find that
she is out more than she expected.
Her islands will be gathered n and
she won't look well herself.
The Pacific coast troops will be sent
to the Philippines to aid Dewey. OF
the forty-five regiments of volunteers
sent to Cuba, one will come from
Kansas and two from Missouri. The
Ihlrd MISSOURI regiment, booked tenn
porarily for this point, may be sent to
Cuba, the Canaries. thu Philippines
Spain.
1t is understood here that Colonel
Funston of the First Kansas, was Of
fered the position of colonel on Gen
era1 Miles staff, but that he refused
it as he desired to accompany his
First Kansas regiment So far, he is
the only man who has refused the po-
sition of colonel on the staff of Gen
eral Miles.
1t is understood also that Colonel
Funston secured the promise that the
First Kansas should smell powder
provided any powder is burned on the
Havana campaign.
General Miles will go to Cuba and
establish headquarters and conduct
the campaign in person.

Horse Stealing.

Last Wednesday morning tough
looking character accosted William
Bower, the Collyer merchant, and in
formed him that a horse thief with IL
stolen team and buggy was camped
about three miles east of Collyer. The
fellow said he was a tramp but had
been in company with the thief. Mr..
Bower procured the services of a con-
stable and overhauled the thief and
brought him to Wa-Keeney and turn
ed him over to the sheriff. Auction
eer Eppler identified the team as be-
longing to an Ellis county party. a
telegram of inquiry brought the in
formation that the sheriff of Ellis
county was looking for both thief and
tramp and ordered them held until
his arrival. Meantime they were
lodged in the county Jail.

Their Dryer nor Patterson denied the
allegations.
A considerable portion of attendants
| upon the second and third ward prim-
aries had guns on their hips, not al
wa, concealed. Some shot-guns were
carried also.
In handing out Patterson tickets at
the third ward primary one OF the
workers always gave as the reason for
the ticket that it was against j. j.
Taylor-against the Gem saloon.
J. c. Jones offered to wager $50
suit of clothes that Charley Patterson
could not be elected as delegate from
the second. George Wallace took the
bet, and Patterson fooled Jones by
Hopping over the Boone.
Charley Davis started in the primary
with his hat and coat on. but when
they commenced TO vote he took off bis
hat, then when the cour ting got warm
he shed his coat, and finished with his
vest unbuttoned.
A. P. Coles, who fought to over
throw the Patterson gang in the third,
created considerable excitement
among the crowd at the polls by
challenging Mexican voter, on the
grounds that the man had the small
pox.
The third ward division of the crowd
to select a chairman led some to be-
lieve that RObinsOn's supporters out
numbered the opposition, but it is eX-
planned that many of Ten Evck's
friends favored ex-Aldermau Whit
more for chairman for personal rea
sons.
Pat Dwyer and a handful CT Next
cans remained at the second ward polls
in the district court room until the re-
suit of the ballot was announced and
then unanimously voted that the Boone
delegation go to the convention in
structe1 for Alderete. 1t is und erstOOi
that the delegates DO not consider their
instruct Ons binding.
Ten Eyck's friends claim that many
of them were prevented from voting in
the second ward by the action OF the
opposition in closing the polls before
they could get near enough to deposit
their ballots. They waited for large
number of Mexicans. who surrounded
the ballot box, to dispense q before

Perhaps few experiences Of life are
harder to bear than when an appeal to
another out of the fullness of ones
heart is received with an utter lack of
sympathy. Such a situation is por-
trayed by the biographer of the Rev.
s. c. Malan.
A dishonest gardener had received
notice of discharge, and after an un-
successful attempt to vindicate his
character by plausible platitudes, said
mournfully to the vicar:
"Ah, sir, you will miss me before /
be gone half an hour!'

Malan, cheerfully, "if l don't miss any

"Resoue on the Brain"

A story about dog, told in an Eng
lish sporting book, 1.-THE Man on the
March," brings out the fact that too
much praise may be as injurious as too
much fault finding.
A half-bred retriever pulled girl
out of the river near her home, OF
course the dog was much praised and
petted, and this brought on what the
author calls an attack of "rescue on the
brain" fa
No man, no feathered biped, no quad
ruped was allowed to go into the river
without being pulled out by the dog.
Cows were not allowed to drink; ducks
and geese were not allowed to swim,
and if an angler attempted to wade, he
was rescued" against his will.
