Whereas, The ratification Of the treaty
of peace with Spain by the senate Of the

to the country; and
Whereas, Our United States senators,
the Hon. Lucien Baker and the Hon. w.

Whereas, A resolution has been intro

therefore be it
Resolved That we do not question the

commend them for doing what they con-
ceive to be for the best interests of their
constituency;
Resolved. That it is the opinion of the
senate Of the state of Kansas that the
people of Kansas still adhere to the origi-
nal doctrines of the founders of this re-
public that the people of the United States
should form no entangling alliances with
foreign nations; that they should foster
the establishment of independent repub-
lies throughout the world, and to this end
we believe that the government of the

looking toward annexation of the Philip

in any part of the world, but that we
should rather promote and encourage free
and Independent government wherever the

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

NOT YET.

Not very long ago some shrewd peo-
pie thought they saw in the rapid in
crease in cotton-spinning in Japan and
China an important influence against
the prosperity Of cotton-spinning in this
country. But things are not always
what they seem. 1t now appears that
the past year has been a bad one for
the cotton-s spinning industry in the far
east. The Ewo cotton mill of Shanghai
from October, 1897, to October of the
next year actually made a consider
able loss. The reason given is that
there had been made Improbable pur-
chases of the raw material, but there
are other and permanent reasons which
enter into the decrease. One of these
is limited at by the Tokyo Journal. that
original dividends had been watered in
order to attract capital, but another
reason assigned by experts, namely,
that the Japanese mills have hitherto

THE TRUSTS.

This trust business is getting inter
esting. Yesterday there was talk of a
gigantic coal trust with a capital well
up towards a billion. There was also
talk of a pump trust, stove trust. a
soap trust and last, but not least, q
coffin trust, 1t is said that the capital
stock of the coffin combination will be
$2S,000,00O. And it will include one
hundred and thirteen coffin companies
and coffin hardware factories one third
of which will be shut down as soon as
the Trust is incorporated, which will
be done in New Jersey.
Soon we shall be able to go from the
cradle to the grave under the kind care
of the benevolent trusts. And perhaps
by and by all the live religions can get
together and extend the power of the
trust idea even beyond the grave.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1899-03-09

been obliged to lay in large stocks of
raw material instead of buying just
enough to meet the requirements of the
time, and that the cost of the capital
| thus invested has greatly crippled their
operations, is more plausible. 1t has
also been found impossible to employ
female labor, the small-footed woman
being unable to move about with 'sufli-
cient rapidity. What is true of China
is also largely true of Japan. The ia
pan Gazette in discussing the situation
says Various causes may be ascribed
for this unsatisfactory state of affairs,
the chief of which seems to be the lack
Of preparation for the future on the
part Of the spinners in ordinary times.
Experience shows that all spinning
companies having declared as much
dividend as possible in time Of prosper
ity, without paying the least attention
to the future, have now been compelled
to pursue the same plan, even when
they are at their worst, fearing lest
they should lose the confidence of their
shareholders. The consequence has
been the gradual decrease of reserve
funds, which, when compared with the
reserve funds OF like companies in Eu-
rope and America, are wonderfully
small. 1t is reported that the govern
ment Is being asked to grant the spin
ners a certain amount of export en-
enlargement money" II the spinners
had made all the necessary reserve fund
in ordinary times they would not be
compelled to have recourse to such ex
pedents, even though they might have
met with difficulties.
With wages rising in the New Eng
land cotton mills and prosperity attend
ing those mills and the cotton mills OF
the South it is evident that the yellow
men are not yet doing what some
thought they would do. Perhaps they
never will.

Biddenden, quiet country village in
England, was recently the scene of a
remarkable murder. The rector's
daughter, a mddle-aged spinster, had
quarrelled with several parishioners
and wrote to six of them to meet her
at church on certain Sunday, as she
wished to make up. 1t happened to
rain, SO that only one of the persons
addressed, Sunday-school teacher, at
tended church. After the communion,
Df which both partook, the woman in
Nited him into the vestry and asked the
Curate to be witness to the reconcilia-
ton She then drew a revolver and shot
The teacher dead. She had several spare
cartridges on her person, so that it is
Inferred that she had intended to shoot
all the persons to whom she had writ
ten. She was perfectly calm after her
act and has kept silent about it.
