is being organized to control all the tele-
graph lines, all the cable systems, and
all the telephones in this country and
radiating from it. 1t is said, the scheme
has been maturing for some time and in
all likelihood it will be made effective
in the near future. 1t is stated. the new
reduction in the cost of transmitting
messages. If so, it will not be the. COM
bination per Sc that brings abott the
reduction, but the fact that wireless tele-
graphy looms up as a possible rival.

What will be the use Of stretching a

ether affords a safe and reliable medium?

with the impulses that are sent through
currents of ether. Moreover, no trust
can corral the ether and compel the
people to use it's brand only. 1t is trust
proof. Let the telegraph and cable and
telephone lines combine If they must, to
keep the wolf from the door-the COM

they desire to communicate with each

PASSING OF THE MORNING PAPER.

Helena Herald: People remark more
and more nowadays that the news" of
the morning paper consist chiefly of ac-
counts of nocturnal broils and crimes-all
else is largely a repetition Of what was
first reported in the evening paper of the
day before. One reason for this is that
the vast news gatherers of America and
the world now hurry their product to
market and distribute it to the first pur-
chasers, and these are the evening papers
for the worlds work is lone mostly by
day and, as telegraphy has anihilated
space, whatever has happened by day
anywhere can be related by day and it is
on the same day that it occurred. Twas
otherwise once in the infancy of the in
dustry of news collecting, when Reuters
and Wolfe's great foreign news agencies
and the Associated Press found it more
convenient to do business leisurely and
let morning papers serve the reading
public with their breakfast rolls and
coffee, when a hurried swallowing of food
and information resulted in indigestion
of both. Now, with the leisure Of the
evening comes the report of the worlds
doings and after the days work is done
the business man and his family together
and attentively per,se and consider with
advantage and pleasure the days do
ings," not the nights so much. The press
is commenting upon this passing of the
morning paper, as observing patrons have
been doing for some time. 1t is the as
sertion of nature over artificiality, of
light over darkness.

AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.

British reverses in the Transvaa1 dur
ing the past few hours have had a mark
ed effect upon public sentiment in Eng
land. The copperheads of that country
have subsidized under the overwhelming
wave of patriotic ferver that swept over
office that disasters had overtaken the
troops at Ladysmith. 1t was all very
| we'll for the sickly s-entimentalists of that
country to pirate about the injustice h a
was being perpetrated by the nation that
afforded them the protection of it's strong
right arm while victory perched upon it's
banners. But when grave disasters came
|-when it's flag went down before the on
slaught of it's enemies-the English cop
perhead sneaked into his hole, ashamed
to look an outraged community in the
face.
Fortunately. there have been no revers-
es in the Philippines to teach the Ameri-
can malcontent the higher duties of Citi-
zenship. Had there been as discredit-
able generalship in the campaigns in Lu-
zon as the democratic press would have
the public believe, there would have been
a slaughter of the American soldiery that
would have euualled the British disaster
at Ladysmitn. Care, caution and mill
tary ability have combined with the un-
~swervering loyalty and courage of our
troops to make victory the outcome of
every contest with the %F@ilipinos.
While the enemy is on the run, the AM
erican copperhead is as full of courage as
a bed-bug in a country hotel. He stands
ready to prove, first, that we ought not
to make the enemy run and, second, that
we ought to make him run faster. Fall
staff never sweiled to greater proportions
of pride than does the acknowledgement IAN

Washington Aguinaldo. But We're dis
asters to overtake our cause, Until a pail
of horror settled down over the land, the
American c%opperhead would find himself
in much the same BOAT as his English
counterpart across the sea. He would

CONSTANTLY GROWING.

The expansion sentiment is growing
rapidly IN all parts of the west, and it
begins to look as if the an+i-eApansion
newspapers will shortly be left alcna to
retail the horrors of such a policy. In
California, Washington and Oregon there
is scarcely an anti-expaasionist left, and
the press have ceased to fight the propo-
sition. In Montana there is a futile
struggle going 81 through the demo-
cratic organs to keep a sentiment Of an
tagonism alive, but with Indifferent sue
cess.
Men who are not blinded by partisan
zeal clearly ~foresee the great advantaee
which Will come to the west through ex-
pansion, and if Bryan's proposition to
take the issue into national politics is
carried out the republicans will sweep
every state on the coast and in the inter
mountain regions. Referring to his re-
cent trip in the west Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson says:
You may find an anti-expansionist
here and there in the west, but they are
as scarce as hungry men, and the latter
are mighty scarce these days. The west
ern people want the flag to stay where it
is, and there is no doubt of it. They
haven't forgotten that when Dewey was
forced to leave Hong Kong with his fleet,
by the neutrality laws, there wasn't a
stake in the whole eastern h]emispbere
to which he could tie. We've got one
now, and we are going to keep it. We
have a home in the Orient for our war
ships as we'll as merchant vessels. and a
starting point for commercial expeditions
into all Asia and Oceanica. The western
people know the value of this. They
realize that every year their products of
farm and factory are going into the Pa
eific ocean in increa sed ratio. They want
to keep it up. Our people are not going
to tyiannize over the Filipinos. They
Will contribute money to send them
school teachers and missionaries, and
they will make the Philippines to bios
som like the rose. These little fellows
who are barking at the heels of President
Mckinley and carping at his doing what
the constitution, the laws and the peo-
Pile require, do not alarm the western
people. The residents of tina section do
not forget that the land which they live
on was acquired by treaty. They have
no intention of alternating Iowa and Min
nesota, nor of alternating any other terri
tory we have more recently obtained by
treaty.

IN ANOTHER WEEK.

The various state campaigns are Draw
ing to a close and ere long the political
die will have been cast. Special interest
centers in Ohio and Kentucky. The for

He is fighting like a Trojan. With not

prove a hard blow to the late silver lead

the republicans in that state.
The three cornered fight in Kentucky
seems likely to throw that ancient DEM
ocratic commonwealth into the repub-
lican column. The feud in the demo-
cratic party has reached a point of bit
terness seldom equalled. If Goebel pulls
through it will be by an exceedingly mar
row margin. His election by q. small
plurality, or his defeat, will probably
place the state in the republican column
next year. as Bryan mas made himself a
party to the Goebel faction and antago-
missed that candidates enemies. DEM

Ohio and Nebraska would prove very
depressing to the Bryan leaders. To
get any comfort out of the state elections
it will be necessary for them to carry the

vision of the park of the future" in
which there shall be a higher standard
of music and more liberty for the ami
mails, is entirely trustworthy. The wo-
mans club can always see further into
the future in a given direction than any
other organization can, and in the alb
Sence of other evidence it behoOVeS pur-
blind male wisdom to accept it's reVe-
lations meekly.
The forecast, moreover is decidedly at
tractive. One can easily imagine that
public park in which the elephant and
the lions sit among the auditors and
listen with an air of solemn edification
while Johnny Hand renders a Wag-
merriam selection will be a more inspir
ing sort of institution than the park of
the present, in which the visitors feed
the noble beasts peanuts through the
bars while the band plays 81 Wants
Yer, Nah Honey" No doubt, also, the
two fundamental reforms spoken of by
Mrs. Graves go hand in hand. With a
few able-bodied Bengal tigers roaming
at large no band would venture upon
such music as is now too frequently
heard in the parks.
But the park of the future Is a long
way off and a majority Of the inhabi-
tants of Chicago are rather more inter-
ested in the park of the present. The
subject has received a good deal of con-
sideration from high ethical, aesthetic
and hygienic grounds and amid the
chorus of solemn voices nobody, we be-
1ieve, has yet had the temerity to stand
UP and meekly confess that while we
are waiting for fruits of the more soul
full inspirations few hard, cheap wood
en- benches to sit down on wouldn't be
a bad thing. Any day in summer, es-
pecialIy in Lincoln park, one can see
hundreds of tired women looking in
vain for a place to rest. In fact, with a
fair chance to sit down comfortably and
breathe the fresh air, look at the green
things and watch the bicycles many peo-
pie would take the park as it Is.

Walter N. Allen Says Govern

Harm Than Good.

Paper
Read Before the State Board of
Agriculture.
MAKES AN ARGUMENT.

At the meeting of the state board of
agriculture last week Walter N. Allen
created something of a sensation by a
direct attack on the custom prevailing
of making crop reports.
The paper was as follows:
Official crop reports-How and IN
what way do they benefit the farmers
of this country? This question was
submitted to the board of agriculture
Of this state more than twenty years
ago and the answer was that Kansas
was a new state and needed to send
out her crop reports to encourage the
investment of capital and the settle
ment of the state.
We have got the capital and the set
tlement and should now stop booming
our crops. Is it good business to pub
liSh every month an inventory of our
Stock-the number of acres Sowed or
planted and the prospect of the grow
ing crops? If the department at Wash
ington were to send out a report show
ing full crop of wheat, corn and cot
ton in the United States, the effect
would be to intimidate buyers and to
bear the market. But, on the other
hand, should the crop report show short
crops in all the states, or full crops in

WILL MEET G1LLETT.
Representative of Commission Men
Will Confer With the P1unger

Kansas City, Jan. ia meeting will
be held Tuesday at Juarez, Mexico, be
tween Grant G. Gillett, the fugitive
cattle plunger, and a Kansas City man
who has gone there to meet him as the
representative of the creditors the
plunger left so widely scattered over
the country. The visit of the Kansas
City man to Mexico is the direct result
of the work of Charles F. Hunt, the
wealthy ranchman of Chihuahua, who
has been in the city the past ten days.
While he says he is not the agent of
Gillett, he is interesting himself in
trying to get an understanding between
the man and his creditors, and at pres
ent the chances are first rate for the
success Of his efforts. 1t is expected
that the Kansas City man will come
back with a definite proposition Of set
Element when they hold their meeting
at the Coates House here on the 23rd.
There are a number of creditors who
have not been taken into the confer
ences that have thus far been held. A
few of the creditors, who believe they
can get a portion of their claims from
Gillett, and who insist that he did have
and still has sum of money that ought
to be divided between those whom he
owes, have talked the matter over,
received the communications that have
come from Gillett, and will negotiate
the best adjustment that can be Sc
cured, and they feel certain that every
man who holds Gillett paper will not
refuse partial payment on 1t.
