THE republican state secretary,
Frank L. Brown, sent out letter to
every republican worker urging re-
publicans not to vote for single
populist for friendships sake or be-
cause he is good fellow, but to stick
straight to his ticket. Now how many
populists and democrats in this coun-
ty will be foolish enough to give the
other fellows a lift when they abso-
lutely refuse to return the compli-
ment. The circular further recites
hat the populists lost in 1897 because
of failure to pass railroad taacs and
because many pops were disguated
by not receiving appointments. Now
that the railroad law has been passed,
and the kicks on account of appoint
ments are coming from his own side,
Mr.. Brown greatly fears the populists
nah be successful IN most of the
counties.

Conductor Gum came in on his
regular run yesterday morning for
the first time since his wife was in
jured in a runaway in Colorado
Springs some five weeks ago. Mrs.
Gum was much more severely in
jured than was at first supposed, the
flesh of her left limb was so badly
bruised that the muscle all sloughed
off one side of the thigh, leaving the
bone exposed from the hip JOINT to
the knee. She had a wonderful vi
tality to endure the strain until the
dead flesh was all removed, when it
began to heal up nicely. She is DOW
able to sit up little, and Mr.. Gum
expects to take her to California as
soon as she is able to travel

An Anxious President.

president McKinly's tour of the
western states ends today with his
return to Washington. He has re-
ceiVed from the people very hearty
greeting and he has a right to rejoice
at the many and strong proofs OF his
popularity. Yet no doubt there is
much anxiety IN the mind of the
president, for the critical time of &C.
counting is at hand. Congress is
about to meet, the campaign of 1900
ID not far away, and Notwithstanding
the successful ending of a popular
and necessary war against Spain the
achievements of that glorious contest
are being crowded somewhat into
the background by the present IN
popular and probably unnecessary
war IN the Philippines. IL wiser
counsels had prevailed IN Washington,
If the course of Admiral Dewey and
General Anderson IN their dealings
with the FIlipinos had not changed
by General Merritt under the in
structions of the national sdmiuIs-
tration, if the molelike secretiveness
of Gen. OTIS during the long months
preceding the armed rebellion of last
February had not deceived the Amer
lean people, it Is probable that there
would have been no war and that the
FiIipinos would now be our grateful
friends instead of our implscable
enemies"
The above from the Chicago Record,
a strong expansion paper. and firm
supporter Of the Mckinley admins
tration, is respectfully submitted to
the republicans of Phillips county
who appear to be so sure that Presi-
dent Mckinley cannot make mis-
take. The Record sounds the aiarm
in hopes the administration will
change its tactics in time to save the
election in 1900.

paper. A general discussion fol-
lowed.
The mex subject, Teaching Com
position aud Language" vas taken
up by Miss Nay a Gibson. who han
died it admirably. Miss Grace Hill
gave sn elaborate discussion of the
same subject. A general discussion
followed which brought out many
good points.
Prof Mallory took up the subject
course of Study" and very ably
presented the OF acts and a1ms of the
state board Of education and state
ASSOCIATION in getting up the course,
and also dwelt upon how to use it.

Now that Prof. Coffman has gone
perhaps the Herald people will be
better pleased with the postotfice ser
vice. Let US hope. Dispatch
AS we understand the matter, Mr.
Royce, you are servant of the peo-
pie; your official acts are subject to
just criticism Ever since you have
been in the post Office the HERALD
people have been annoyed by the IN
warranted, uncaIled for delays in the
transmission of their mail. These
delays never occurred during the
lncumbency of Mr.. Korns or Mr..
VanCleave. No complaint has been
made except to you or your assist
ants. You have been plead and
prayed with; your employes-espec-
tally Prof Coffman-have told the
HERALD people that the mail was de-
layed, out 1t was no fault of theirs,
as you did not come to the Office to
assist, and they could not do the work
alone. The last serious delay was on
the 29th of September, the day you
were at Smith Center attending Ring
ling's circus. Ever since you have
been IN the postoffice you have set up
a man Of straw, and labeled it "oppo
sition TO the postmaster at Phillips
burg, by the HERALD" and night and
day spend your time in knocking Ii
down, instead of seeking 10 improve
the public service. You have been
assured that the HERALD had no part
in any fight on you. Although every
day, people tell of the glazing errors
made by you. The delays Of pack
ages containing HERALDs are so fire.
quent that We feel justified in cherg-
ing you publicly with q persistent,
malicious and Intentional delay of
these packages, that you may iuj Ire
a business com petitor, thus using
your official position to build up your
own private interests. During the
time George VgnCIeave was post
master the postof1ice was kept open
until eight O'clock. You Immediately
changed the hour to 1880. He closed
the night mails at 8 o'clock p m
you close them at 1880 2. m. Last
night over seventy-fve letters were
left at the Bissell Hotel by people of
the city, which had you the public
interests at heart, would have been
mailed at the postoffice. Before you
get through with this fight you will
be ready to cry enough. The HER
AID Can prove by outside parties that
your employees have asked US not to
complain to the department of these
irregul arities, as trouble for them
and you would follow. The uncalled
for item above has stretched
the HERALD's good nature to the limit
Now, Mr.. Royce, you have had fair
warning. Look cut!

all quarters and good all-around support.

satisfactory proportions with investment

tives of commission houses purchased the
March and May deliveries freely during
the first hour, this demand being supplied
chiefly by the stronger bears and num-
Der of last Thursday and Fridays buyers
desiring to take the profits in sight The
most influential buu factor of the early
session was an official report from Liv-
erpOol noting sales of 1900 bales spot cot
ton at l 3-2Sd advance and a gain of

ket. This news was supplemented by
private cables stating that sentiment
abroad had undergone decided change
for the better over Sunday, attributed
to signs of nervousness among spinners
concerning supplies of raw material this
being regarded as singularly significant
in view of the tremendous stocks at Liv-
erpool and amount in sight for Europe.

has directed Chemist WWiley of the de-

canned meat in the open market here, the
products OF the same concerns as fur

Of Secretary Wilson is wholly voluntary.
The inquiry is now in progress and
prompt publicity win be given the re
suits. Department officials are confident
that the beef as furnished under the con-
tracts was wholesome and pure. They
say that the attacks made on the beef,
if not sustained, will cost the meat in
terests in this country an amount equal
to the cost of the entire war and furnish
material in the future for the opposition
of those countries which have all along
been fighting the admission of American
beef products. The secretary says there
is no doubt that the discussion of the
allegation made will give a set back 10
