Kansas Soldiers Mistreated.

The San Francisco Call, an iude-
pendent paper, but :he leading daily.
attacks the war department for its
treatment of the Kansas soldiers quar-
tered in that city. says:
"For time most of the papers of
the city, convinced that Camp Merritt
was detrimental alike to the health of
soldiee and civilian, protested against
it's existence, but to no avail. The
struggle was given up because it ap-
peared that some influence, never
strictly defined, wanted the camp to
remain. There never was, in the
first place, any excuse for the camp.
From every point of view it has been
from the beginning an afiictlon.
Now it is positively unfit for human
habitation. Out in the Presidio are
hundreds of unoccupied acres ad-
mirably adapted to the use ofsoldiers
Why are they not utilized? I do not
know, but in the present arrange
ments there is a shameless job. Out
of the Kansas regiment alone six
men have died. The colonel begged
to be allowed to go TO the Presidio,
and the request was refused. The
New York men arrived, smelled the
situation over, and demanded to be
given a place on the resel vation.
They got it. The New Workers have
more money than the Kansans. They
came here with pull 80 strong that
the reputation of it proceeded them.
But in patriotism the Kansan is the
equal of the New Yorker, to his
country bis life is as valuable"
Fred Funston Is the colonel of this
regiment. He was appointed be-
cause of his experience and special
fitness for service in Cuba. Every
Kansan, whether partisan or not
must feel disappointed at his being
turned aside to different course, and
it appears as if the war department il
doing all it can against Ka lsas.
Right or wrong very many people
will believe that this shabby treat.
ment is due to political reasons

''By Thy Words Thou Shalt be Condemned .

The national Republican league at
Omaha. on the 14th of July. 1898.
unblushingly repudiated all their
sham pretences that they were in
favor of bimetalIism in. any form.
They said: 1--WE are uncompromis-
ingly in favor of the maintenance OF
the single gold standard"
A party which has secured the de-
monetization of silver by continuous
declarations that they were in favor
of bimetailism now admits that its
whole career on that subject has been
base falsehood. The American peo'
pie are in favor of the use of both
metals. The Republican party is in
favor of the use of only one. The
American people are in favor of a
supply of money which will maintain
stability of prices. The Republican
party is in favor of gold because it
will depress prices and enhance the
value of bonds. The American peo-
pie are in favor of justice and an
honest measure OF value. The Re-
publican party is in favor of injustice
and shrinking measure of value.
The American people are in favor of
an Independent: financial policy. The
Republican party il in favor of the
English gold standard and opposed to
everything American. The Ameri.
can people are patriotic. The Re-
publican party confesses in the reso-
luton above quoted that it is unpatri.
otic, in favor of tbs rich against the
poor, in favor of increasing the value
of money and of bonds and decreasing
the value of property.
We thank the republican party for
pleading guilty and acknowledging
that it is opposed to every thing i. has
advocated in the last thirty years in
regard to finance. We are glad that
out ofits own mouth the Republican
party is condemned as falsifier. No
condemnation could have been equal
to the condemnation which the Re.
publican party by its authorized
agents has pronounced. aad the
American people will never believe
them again when they say they are
bimetallists. The votes they get
hereafterthey will have to get as
monometallists, as extortionists, as
contractionists, as stock jobbers, as
enemies of the welfare of the masses
of the people.-Silver Night Watch.

make no criticism of MIR. Banta>s
course if he is really in earnest in all
he says, and has no political motives
back of him. The question of tenn
perance is one of morals and not of
politice. No one would rejoice more
to see numerous of the citizens of this

proven that to any man of reason.

WHENEVER the operatives IN any

sort to strike to prevent reduction
in wages, or enforce a just demand on
