NEW AND IMMENSE NAVAL BILL
FOrecasted ia Emperor Williams
Speech of "Wednesday

Berlin, Oct. 19-Today's papers are for
the most part barren of comments upon
the speech of Emperor William at Ham
burg yesterday at a luncheon following
the launching of the battleship Kaiser
Karl der Crosse.
The Berliner Tageblatt however says:
His majesty's expressions of regret that
his wish for a big fleet did not meet with
intelligent furtherance eight years ago
viii be found significant just now in more
ways than one"
The. Socialist organ, the Vorwaerts says:
The speech was mixture of pan-Ger-
man fleet enthusiasm and DR.. Won Mi
queTs non-partisan Sammepolitik It
dovetails in the program with the Oeyn-
hansen and Dertmund speeches. While
the former promised an anti-strike bill
and the latter proclaimed a determination
to carry through a canal project, this
speech at Hamburg announces a new and
immense naval bill The emperor's word
cannot be construed otherwise"

There was not shadow OF resemblance
between the California girl and her dead

painter. From the first moment Rosa
Bonheur believed in her. To the last she
maintained that she owed her a debt Of
gratitude.
And who shall say she did not.
Even the peasants attest that she meta
morprosed a life that had become morse
and lonely. From II she hanished Winter
and night. All ennui vanished and Rosa
Bonheur lived again. She was prompted
to DO what she had not done for years.

once more into the arena OF competition
Her people rejoiced. She was young again

The peasants Of BY recall all this. They
remember the spirit Of the yEIng Califor-
Man, a spirit that radiated youth and
courage They are loyal, and whatever
their lady done is right.

and oppose armed Insured
ton is no longer a party ques-
ton; to uphold the govern
ment so long as armed forces
are opposing it in It's efforts
to establish a stable govern
ment there, is loyalty; to op-
pose it is disloyality. We
condemn and denounce the
unpatriotic and un- American
utterances of all who are Civ
ing encouragement to the Fill
plnos in their resistance to
the American flag. Never yet
has the old flag retrea ted
before any armed foe, and
wherever raised there it must

The aggregation in this
county known as the Fusion
party is neither moved by,
nor in possession of, a con-
ylctlon or moral principle.
1t has abandoned every issue
which brought it into life
save the greed for Office, and
1t now seeks by having its
platform of treason adopted
by the people of this county
to bring the fair name and
lame of Sedgwick county into
dlsrepute and to disgrace the
name of the gallant soldier
which it bears.
We are opposed to aggre-
gated capital, whether organ
lied in the form of trusts,
corporations or otherwise for
the purpose of controlling
the industrial affairs of the
people, and we demand of
our party in this state and in
the nation such legislation
which will at all times be for
the best interests of all the

THE BOTTOM OF THE BOOM.

The foundation of the present indus
trial boom, which has given trust forma-
ton such an impetus and set the specu-
lative fraternity in Wall street by the
ears by sending inflated trust stocks
out of sight, is to be found outside the
industrial world and is overlooked by
the average observer who simply notes
the boom in general trade without
troubling to inquire into the cause of
it or the foundation for it.
The cornerstone Of American wealth
is agriculture. Mother Earth furnishes
the substance on which our booms feed.
Our periodical spurts of prosperity are
invariably found to follow upon the
;heels of large crops in the mighty
West, coupled with conditions abroad
which mean good prices for those
crops. Such conditions are bound to
bring us season of very great pros
perity no matter how unfavorable 9TH
er conditions at home may have been
previous to the harvest. When the
golden fruit of the mighty West pours
abroad it means golden tide of wealth
pouring in return upon our shores.
Not only have we splendid crops this
year, but we are getting splendid prices
for them. One of the contributing
causes is the recent famine in India.
Instead of producing a surplus for ex-
port as usual this year India by reason
of drouth which has ruined her crops
is forced to become an importer
Of foodstuffs from other countries.
This has given boom to the price Of
wheat in the worlds markets where
the prices Of our cereals are regulated.
Russia, also, is plagued with famine.
A recent cable by Henry Norman says:
