won Humboldt long ago remarked
that the Caucasian race, If left to itself,
would on that continent revert to the
physical and mental conditions OF the
savage now known as the Indian. The
high cheekbones and long legs of the
so-called Yankee bear out one part of
his assertion. but the mental conditions
have come sooner than he could have
thought possible. Witness the impend-
ing war upon Spain-a war without a
motive or justification. and undertaken
solely to feed the fires of speculation.
But. while Americans are thus virtually
pouncing upon bedridden patient, let
them look we'll to themselves, for in no

CITY DEMOCRATS.
Called Mass Meeting for Last Night
But Scarcely a Dozen Present.

Topeka Democrats arranged for a mass
meeting last night to nominate a city
ticket, but they didn't mass worth cent.
About a dozen attended the meeting and
for Thursday evening to make the nomi-
nations.
David Harold of the First ward was
elected chairman of the meeting and Tom
Hanley of the same ward was made Sec
rotary.
Frank Benson of the Second ward said:
I'VE don't care what you do in the other
wards, but we are going to nominate a
candidate for councilman IN my ward
We have a good chance of electng some
one and are going to do it. If you
don't want to hold meeting of the Dem
ocrats in all the wards we will hold one
of our own"
Mr.. Hanley thought it might be a good
plan to allow the Democrats in each
ward to hold meetings and make nOmina-
lions If they desired, but this proposition
was voted down and a call for a mass
meeting at the Democratic F1amb beau cluD
rooms Thursday evening was made.
There are only two wards where there
will probably be candidates. In the Sec
Ond and Fifth there is a disposition to
nominate candidates for cOuncilmen- John
Schmidt is the only Second ward man
mentioned, and he was not at the meet
ing last night, and some of his friends
said he would not consent to be a cand1-
date. w. J. Whittekind has announced
himself as an Independent candidate in
the Fifth ward and he may be Endorsed.
There is disposition to nominate mem
berS of the school board, but the mass
meeting may decide to put up a full city
Charles Price, who was refused a place
on the Republican ticket because he sup
ported Sheriff kepley, wants the 1ndOrSe-
ment of the Democrats as a candidate for
constable, and he was at the meeting and
told those present that he wanted to be-
come one of them.

WAR ON THE NILE.
British Are Fighting Their
Way Up the River.

Atbara, con the Nile), March 23.-An
Anglo Egyptian cavalry patrol was in
conflict with a party of dervish horse
men on Monday, eleven miles up the
river An engagement took place in
which hand to hand encounters with
spears occurred and the dervishes were
driven back. The horse artillery went
to the support of the Anglo Egyptian
cavalry and shelled the dervishes at l.
500 yards, doing considerable execution.
The Anglo Egyptian loss was seven
men killed and eight wounded. The
patrol returned to Rashudi before mid
night bringing the wounded. No Brit
ish officers were wounded.
A force of 400 dervish cavalry ap-
peared a few miles from here on Tues
day morning. 1t was met by a squad
ron of cavalry and a force of SOudanese,
who drove off the dervishes with con-
siderable loss, following them some
miles beyond Abadar.

GOV. LEEDY PROCESSES ALARM
At the Proposed Increase of the
Standing Army.

Gov Leedy has given out a prepared
interview, explaining why the govern
ment should use the militia in case of
an emergency instead of increasing the
regular army with recruits It follows
up his opinion, expressed some DAYS
ago. that the move to increase the reg
ular army was scheme of the money
eu classes TO have large standing
army in case of internal troubles.
IN the interview Gov. Leedy says:
w hen the war of the revolution was
over, the founders of this republic, re-
AIMING that a standing army of mer-
cenary soldiers, who simply enlisted for
pay because they would rather fight
than work for living, were a standing
menace TO the peace of the country,
sought to avoid the danger arising from
the maintenance of such an army nv
creating a citizen soldiery whose mill
tary interests were patriotic instead of
mercenary.
They therefore established the mill
tia law by which all persons between
the ages of IS and As were required to
attend four days in each year at the
annual training for the purpose of ac-
customing them to the use of fire
arms and to the drill and evOlutions of
troops in the field.
This idea has been departed from
somewhat in the establishment of mill
tia regiments in various states. but the
main idea of the founders of the repub-
lie is yet maintained, and these militia
regiments are not composed of mercen-
triOtic, and not for mercenary purposes
They are fairly well drilled and would
understand any order that might be
given them, so that they are ready to
take the field at once
If the federal government, instead of
using this citizen soldiery, should enlist
a mercenary soldiery for three years
they would have to be drilled in the
manual of arms and in field tactics be-
fore they could be used. 1t seems, there
fore, that if sudden call were made in
the Cuban matter, the militia would be
much more serviceable. Furthermore
if the federal government should desire
volunteers in addition, they would only
have to make their necessities known.
Kansas would furnish at once her
quota of whatever number might be de-
sired. and I believe that every other
state would do the same. When the Gu
ban difficulties were ended, and the use
OF these troops was no longer needed.
instead of having a regularly enlisted
army on our hands for three years,
these regiments would dissolve and go
back to their arts of peace without de-
lay, whereas men enlisted in the regu-
lar army would have to be maintained
at the expense of the government. 1t
seems plain to me that the kind of an
army provided by the builders of this
republic is the better of the two and I
believe that all citizens should look up
on a standing army with the same dis
trust that our fOrefatherS did,

CHINESE LOAN IN DOUBT.
Absence of a Rush to Cover It is Not
ed in London.

London, March 23.-There was no
rush here to subscribe for the Chinese
loan and it is doubtful whether the
amount will be covered.
It was announced from Berlin on
February % that a Chinese loan of t.
600, 900 pounds ESQ., O0O, OOO) had been ar
ranged with the Hong Kong and
Shanghai bank OF London and the Ger
man Asiatic banks. This was con-
firmed the same day by the officers in
London of the Hong Kong and Shang-
hal bank. The loan, it was added was
at a low rate of interest, probably 312
per cent, and would be issued below
par. The security is understood to be
of two kinds revenues hitherto I'M
pledged, and international security in
the shape of new ports to be opened,
the port dues of which would be pledg-
ed, and further, certain industrial and
mining concerns and securities to the
loan which it was further announced
would not have been concluded had not
Germany insisted, in order to prevent
Russia from obtaining it.

MORE FAMOUS DAY BY DAY.
Lottie Bowes Talked and Written
About Wherever She Goes.

The following about Miss LOttie
BOwes appeared in a Detroit, Mich,
paper recently:
charlotte Crane, the pretty actress
who will appear at the Empire tonight
in "A Stranger in New York draws the
line at tights. This statement would
not be of so much Importance if it were
not for the fact that Miss Crane was
recently requested to leave a fashion
able ball at Charleston, South Carolina,
because the society women under whose
auspices it was given did not consider
her fit associate for their sons and
daughters, merely because she was an
actress. Others say that these women
were merely jealous of Miss Cranes
charms-fOr she is very beautiful.
Miss Crane refuses to wear tights be-
cause she does not think it wOmanly to
do so-and she loves to be Womanly.
Furthermore, she promised her mother,
when she adopted a stage career that
she would not change her style of dress.
But the desire to be the good woman
that a miss of 20 should be, is her
strongest reason for refusing to yield
to the opportunities of stage managers
to appear in slzin-fiitting garments.
4 love more than anything else to
portray on the stage the character of
a good woman said Miss Crane, like
the innocent Carey Preston that I
PLAYED in Alabama last year. To lis
ten to the portray of bad character
leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I
will not wear tights, but have nothing
to say against actresses who do, for
there are lots of good women who wear
them, not because they like to do so,
but because they have to-
Miss Crane is said to be one of the
most beautiful women on the stage,
and is quite as attractive in an unprO-
fessiOnal capacity. She has soft gold
en- hair. a broad white brow, large eyes
of hazen tinge that fill with sincere
tears or sparkle with good nature, and
a fresh rosy complexion, as if the stage
gIamor never interfered with her beau
ty sleep. She enjoys saddle riding i'm
mensely and this afternoon investigat-
ed Detroit's famed attractions. She
is fond of music and something of a
musician. She will attend the informal
recital of the Tuesday Musicale in De-
troit tomorrow afternoon She is al
so an enthusiastic member of the
Kings Daughters and is seldom with
out the little silver cross that is the
badge of sisterhood."

UNDER THE DOME.
News of the Kansas State De-
partments.
How One Hundred People Of
Mound City, Kansas,
SIGNED A PETITION
To Pardon a Man Whom They
Knew Nothing About.
Our Board of PardOns Guilty of
More Stupidity.
SIGNED A PETITION

The farcicaI system that the board Of
pardons operates on is well illustrated
by the case of James McGlothin of
Linn county, now before Governor
Leedy for consideration, bearing the
recommendation of the board that the
pardon be granted.
McGlothin was sent to the peniten-
tiary from Linn county in 1896 for a
term Of six years for robbing a store.
He was then a man of 45 years of age
and known as a worthless character,
who did little or nothing toward the
support of his family and was intoxica-
ted the greater portion of the time.
When he was unable to procure whisky
he bought lemon essence and always
succeeded in getting drunk on that.
"A year ago a Linn county attorney
took up the matter of securing a par
don for McGlOthin, and started out by
circulating a petition in Mound City.
McGlOthin lived at Trading Post and
the robbery was committed at JeWett
both of which places are over Is miles
from Mound City, and the attorney sue
ceeded in getting over a hundred sigma
lures because neither McGlOthin nor
the nature of his crime was known. He
also published the notice of the appli-
cation for pardon in a Mound City pa
per, and in this way the people in the
nelghborhOOd where McGlOthin had re-
sided were practically ignorant of the
effort being made.
The petition was duly forwarded to
the pardon board, together with a let
ter from the mans wife, and after look
ing over the papers it was decided to
recommend pardon.
Governor Leedy has been informed of
the true state of affairs and he will
probably refuse the pardon.
