4 Wild Dear In Winfield.

Winfield, Nov 25.-Yesterday morn
ing a young man named Cunningham
scared a big buck deer out of the hedge
on the Platter farm just north of J. P.
Shorts house. The deer went south
across hedges and wheat fields, disap-
pearing in the timber south of the poor
farm where all trace of him was lost.
The chase was then given up as it was
supposed he had gone back to the ter
ritory where it is supposed he came
from, but late yesterday afternoon Kirk
Brown saw him crossing the poor farm
again, but this time going north.

WHISKY TO LEAVE.
Large Amount Will Be Exported In a
a Short Time.

Cincinnati, o.. Nov 25.-The Enquirer
says:
There will be heavy expectation Of
whisky in bond to Hamburg, and other
foreign ports during the next few
months. Inquiries for rates have been
made by Cincinnati whisky men of the
railroad agents. The period of eight
years that the government allows
whisky to remain in bond would ordin-
ariIy be sufficient time to market all
made, but on account of the great
amount of whisky made in 1892 and
1898. there remains still in bond a great
deal of whisky of these ages. The near
approach of the expiration Of the eight
years on these goods makes necessary
either their tax payment and cOnse-
ouent throwing on the market or the
exportation of the goods in bond"

the fire which ended its existence, that

builders that it did not. The faculty fully
realized the danger incurred, and laid
down stringent rules about the use of

the old building the dormitory has been

ture no one can exactly predict. In Russia
the Government owns many things which
in this country are considered the sacred
property of the individual. Autocracy is
personal and institutional. The Russian
nobleman may have something like abso-
Lutte power on his own estate or in his own
family; but the power belongs to him
personally. In this country the Govern
ment does not always interfere in local
affairs; not out of respect to the authority
of any one person, but of the community
1t is the theory in this country, but crudely
worked out as yet, that each State and
city as well as each section of the country,
has its own troubles, which others do not
understand; and that the people of each
community must be left TO work these out
as they see best. provided they do not make
themselves public nuisance. ANY such
interference with personal liberty as the
Russian frequently takes without remon-
STRANGE would convert an American COM
munity into a colony of bushwhackers,
prepared to shoot every man in a Govern
ment uniform. The Southern moonshiner is
as good an example of this as can be found.
He considers that his rights are being
interfered with when he is forbidden to
distill whisky, and he is ready TO fight
These two great principles must some
day be worked out in full BY virtue of
the general temperament of her people,
Russia is gradually absorbing Oriental ma
tions, which are akin to herself. 1t is i'm
possible that she should ever absorb or en-
tirely subjugate nations whose basic prin-
ciple is that of individual rights. Such a
nation could only be brought under control
by determination. If the individualistic
principle could be worked out in perfection,
there is no doubt that it would produce a
stronger nation than any collectivism, be-
cause it would mean the willing and intel
ligent cooperation OF every man, without
fear and without dssimulation. dozen
men following great leader are a strong
fighting force; but they are much stronger
if they follow leader whom they them
selves have chosen, and whose place any
one of them, at pinch. might take. That

Dinner at Topeka.

DIhhcr AT IOpeka.
Topeka, March 30.-The annual banquet
and conference OF the Kansas Democrats
took place in Topeka today and tonight.
The conference was simply a roundup of
Democrats numbering twelve hundred. At
night they assembled at Library Hall in
the State House for dinner at 81 p ate,
after which there was speaking by William
J. Bryan, Allan o. Myers, of Ohio and
Sidney Clark, of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Bryan was given an ovation. The
crowd was especially demonstrative when
he declared that the Democratic platform
Of 1900 would be written by those who
stood upon the platform in 1896. Regard
ing the fighting in the Philippines Mr..
Bryan said:
The failure of the Administration to
give to the Philippines the assurance of
the independence given to the people of
Cuba is responsible for the blood that is
being shed from Manila to Malolos. The
action of our Government in Withholding
independence from the Filipinos after they
had helped us in the war against Spain
has excited animosities which will survive
for a generation. The Republican party
came into existence in an attempt to ap-
ply the Declaration of Independence to the
black man. 1t seems likely. to go out of
business for its refusal to apply the same
principles to brown man only half black. -

More had beef.

Three meat dealers in Pittsburg have
been arrested for selling "embalmed beef. !"
The State Dairy and Food Commission has
begun business such as the Republican
bosses who secured its creation as an in
crease of patronage never dreamed of. The
arrested persons have been selling Chicago
beef, chemically treated. If it was good
enough for our soldiers, it is good enough
for our citizens. they reasoned. Five other
Commission has examined the beef and
found 1t poisonous and injurious to heath.
II was not until the meat was analyzed by
a chemist that an arrest was made.
This may be of interest TO the Govern
ment. It has been the boast of the packers
that they sent TO the Army the same sort
Of beef they sell to the general public.
The testimony of Mr.. Marshall and Thomas
F. Dolan bears this out. But the meat
they sell to the private consumers is not
SO conspicuously good as to escape the
censure of local examiners. Although the
packers have affirmed that chemicals have
never been used on their beef, it is the tes-
timony of Eagan that a Western firm tried
to sell process beef TO the Government for
the use of the Army. Process beef is
beef treated with chemicals to prevent its
decay-chemicals that are said by medical
men TO be injurious TO health.

It has been said with perfect truth that
the great difference between what We call
the Orient and the occident is that the for
mer advances by collective, the latter by
individual methods. To the Asiatic the
family is everything, the individual moth
ing. The whole political system is ar
ranged with view TO giving, as nearly as
possible. the supreme power to one man,
AS 1t is impossible. in community of
mixed races and varied interests, for one
man TO hold absolute rule over the whole,
the result has been in India and some other
Asiatic countries the splitting up Of The
population into disunited tribes. clans, and
scraps of aboriginal races, each of whom
has its private feuds with Its neighbor,
and hsrbors q distrust OF strangers. deyel-
oped through some centuries of treachery,
strife, and separation. theoretically the
absolute power OF an able despo; is one OF

certain limits this sort OF administration
is one of the shskiest ever conceived by
mankind and II goes TO pieces the moment
II is seriously battered by real fighting
power. 1t is hard for the conqueror to
crush It out, however, and one of the Sc
crets of the successful British govern
ment OF India is that in some parts of that
big country England has sagaciously made
allies Of native chiefs and thus secured 10
her own cause. in measure. the, loyalty
which the clansmen bear TO their heredi
tary rulers.
The other form OF government is what
We are wont 10 call representative govern
ment, designed TO give the widest pos
sible scope to individuality. AS there is
tremendous difference between the ability
of various men to govern themselves and
Others the results of this system sometimes
closely resemble those OF the collective sys-
TEN, but with this difference: In nation
people themselves give moral support TO
that form OF government: the normal type
of man believes ii his duty to sacrifice
his own interests to those Of his family;
the man who refuses to shelter under his
own roof all his needy friends anu rela-
tiycs. or claims homage and absolute obed-
fence from those whom he considers his
Servants, is the exception, not the rule.
In the individuaiistic nation the individual

force; or If he sees that some worthy end

An unreconstructed Patriot.


The Union veteran who does not endorse every
word OF the resolutions passed by d. d. Porter
Command of Washington is probably the bomb
proof hero who declined every opportunity to
get 10 close quarters with the men who followed
the flag of the Confederaoy and see how they did
fight when their blood was up. If General and
Commander-in- Chief Dyrenforth'' is not in this
category, he must belong to that other class
which nothing to admire in an honorable
foe, but believes that in itself and its kind
lodged all valor and all virtue. General DyTen-
forth find nothing to boast OF in the achieve
ments OF the Union army ii the Confederate SOL
diefs not as brave as the resolutions OF d.
d. Porter Command declare them to have been.
A pension roll which has passed the million mark,
when there not more than 600, 900 Confed-
crates enlisted during the Civil War, either proves
that the Confederate soldier was exceptionally
fine fighting man, that the Union armies were
composed of very inferior material, if. with all
the odds in its favor, il took the Federal Govern
ment four years to conquer the Coniederaey.
