WHAT DEWEY DESIRES.
He VIII Not Accept the Proposed Home
But Would Establish a Place for
Disabled Veterans.

Washington, June IA. Admiral
Dewey will not accept the home which
the American people are preparing to
present him. This comes from the
admiral himself, he having cabled a
friend in this city that he must decline
to accept it, but that if a fund was
raised for that purpose he would take
the money and invest II in home for
sick and disabled sailors. 1t is under
stood that there will be an effort to
make the fund as large as possible, and
that the committee will willingly &C.
cede to the admiral's wishes and per.
init him to buy and furnish a home for
sailors. There is no question that
Washington will be selected as the
site for the home.

The Fusion Farce.

In a few OF the Kansas counties
party conventions have already been
held for nominating candidates fol
county elections in November. The
Republicans strike strong note Of
confidence wherever they assemble.
On the other side there is sometimes
fusion and sometimes the Democrats
or the Populists name separate
tickets.
There isNo doubt it is generally
felt by the iusionists themselves that
fusion is transparent farce through
which the people see and before long
instead Of two or three parties fusing,
but maintaining separate organiza.
tion and formulating separate plat
forms, that senseless masquerade
will be dropped and they will form
one party. As their alliance is based
on one purpose-the division Of spoils
and therefore opposition to the Re-
publicans-so they might as we'll be
under one tent. The honest Pop
ulsts and the Democrats Of the old
school will find their political home
elsewhere.
Everybody now recognizes that the
Populist party as a national factor is
an utter nonentity. 1t has been
swallowed up in the national Demo-
crazy TO all intents and purposes
they are Bryanite Democrats. The
fusion comedy is too absurd to pro-
coed further. = Leavenworth Times.

Two Platforms.

The New York Sun is not always
gentle in its political remarks; it pre-
fers vigor, regardless Of where the
blow falls. This is its latest utter.
ance on the platforms of 1900;
"The Democratic program for 1900
is substantially made up already. 1t
will consist Of all the imaginary hor-
rors, woes and delirium Of the Chica-
90 platform, reinforced by the new
spectres Of trusts, militarism and an
ti.imperialism. The Democratic par.
ty is nothing but ghost, gibbering
vainly from the bushes at Progress
striding cheerily by.
"The Republican platform for 1900
will be platform Of achievement, Of
facts. 1t will be success and honor
abroad, good times at home. 1t will
be Cuba and Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines. The Republicans will ask to
be continued in power because they
have used power wisely and fortu-
nately. The Democrats, with their
blue devils and their money devils,
can do nothing against the party OF
victory and prosperity.
40 be a Democrat at present
man must believe in many follies and
many incredibilities; but the most in
credible and foolish thing Of all the
articles to which he must now sub.
scribe is the assumption that these
United States, better and prouder and
greater and richer than ever before,
are poor, oppressed, miserable,
down-trodden, shiftless country.
1.-The Republican party knows how
to rule. The Democratic party knows
how to write platforms for incompe-
tents and idiots"

The ridiculous and altogether
wearisome proposition that somebody
resign an office SO that it can be given
to Gen. Funston when he returns
home is as sublime a piece Of grand
stand playing as Kansas has seen in
long time. Funston has been draw
ing something like $4,000 a year and
expenses during his service, he was
well to do before. The patriot who
wants somebody else 10 give him an
office is very, very previous. Kansas
does and will honor Funston but, we
hope, in reasonable manner.

provements cannot be removed from
land bought in by county at tax
sale until the owner redeems the
land. This opinion was given in a
case from Cheyenne county. There
the county took in some land at a tax
sale and the owner started to move
the improvements off Of it. County
Attorney John S. Finley filed suit to
enjoin the removal of the improve
ments and got a temporary restrain
ing order. He was not certain wheth-
er he had right to prosecute case
OF this kind in the name OF the coun-
ty and asked the attorney general for
an an opinion. He was notified that
the position taken by him was all
right that the tax deed was against
the land and improvements and that
the original owner had no right to
remove any Of the improvements.
