GRAND JURY'S REPORT.
They VIsit the Jail and Pnor House, aud
Make Recommendations.

They visit the jail and PaOr House, aud
Make Recommendation.
We, the Grand Jury for the Feb
ruary term 1899, make the following
report; We visited the jail in a
body and find confined therein 5
whites and 30 colored. We find
great complaint among the inmates
of cold, and the jail in very un-
satisfactory condition, the greater
part of which we find from the pres
ent plan of heating the cells. From
the hest information we can get it Is
inefficient and in our judgement a
failure. We suggest the surround
ings are such as to require immedi-
ate attention from the proper au-
thOrities.
We examined bonds of the off
GERS in County Court Records and
find them satisfactory.
We visited the Poor House, eX-
amined the dwellings, questioned
the inmates and have no hesitation
in saying We find everything in first,
class condition, clean, the inmates
well clothed and we'll fed and in
every way comfortable. We find s
white males, IL white females, IL
colorad males, l3 cOlored females ;
keepers family 3, mich cows, 5
yearlings, calves, all in good con-
dltion; 100 barrels of corn, 1875 bush
els of wheat and sufficient amount
of other provisions to last this quar-
ter. The growing wheat looks well.
Season considered, we saw nothing
needed but some additional fencing,
but understand that 1t would be
built soon. We saw evidences on
every hand that Mr.. and Mrs.
Har is were kind and humane to the
inmates and are the people in the
right place.

told the beef Court of Inquiry to-
day that one-half the canned roast
beef issued to the soldiers in Cuba
was thrown away because it was un-
fit to eat and that he himself had
opened one can and found maggots
init The maggOts were dead and
he said must have been canned with
the meat Surgeon John B. Shaw
said that potmaine poisoning fol-
lowed from eating the canned meat
A packing house expert testified
that the cattle used for canning are
very inferior; that one-third would
be condemned in any English mar

is left in the meat that goes into the
can.

The President Alone Responsible.

The responsibility for the war in the
Philippines rests on the administration,
and not OH the opponents of the Paris
treaty. 1t was the administration which
ungratefully cast off the allies it had
courted, by whose aid it had captured
Manila and its Spanish garrison. The
United States might have continued the
master of the Philippines, the respected
and trusted protector of their people,
witout provoking this dreadful war and
its century-long train Of ranking disap-
pointment and hate. 1t becomes more
and more evident that after the over
throw of Spanish dominion, we might
by judicious courses have securely won
what we may never securely conquer.
Expansion without subjugating war, and
without infdelity to our great charter of
liberty, would have been an achieve
ment of unparalleled glory and honor.
The president, surrounded by impatient
spectators and shallow jingoes, missed
his grandest opportunity.-Boston Her

editor has advocated for years. The
most perfect harmony prevails and as a
matter of honor and from choice the
editor will do what every loyal Populist
and every loyal Democrat will do-sup-
port every man on the ticket to the best
Of his ability. 1t is not names but prin-
ciple. Populists and Democrats agree
practically. Agree much more nearly
than Republicans. So long as these con
ditions exist the editor of this paper viii
be in favor Of fusion and any fair means
of defeating the Republican party. The

knew was lie when he wrote it; as he

The People Should Retain Power.

The people do a great wrong by allow
ing so much power to representatives.
It has an evil influence; it tends to
poison the political atmosphere. The
speaker of the national house of repre-
sentatives enjoys what amounts to an
absolute veto of any and all measures.
1t is in his power to defeat a measure
that class interests might be willing to
pay millions Of dollars to have defeated
Don't YOU know it is a crime for us to
throw such vast temptation before any
man! We tempt our lawmakers, our
delegates and our committees. We do a
great wrong to them, to our country, to
humanity in general by so doing. What
noble proposition the initiative and
referendum is! 1t would enable men
high up in affairs to remain pure, patri.
otto and noble. Outside Of guarding
the interests Of the masses Of the people,
there are reasons insurmountable why
the initiative and referendum should be
adopted.-Missouri World.

Here's as TO Trusts.

This says the World: The Republican
record on trusts is already made up.
The plank has been sawed, planed
mortised and fitted for their platform.
The plan of their managers to anticipate
the Democratic convention in "de.
nouncing trusts" is rendered futile BY
these fac;s: (I) 1t is Republican tariff
averaging 81 per cent. which has pro-
NOTED and now protects the most per
vasive and powerful organizations Of
trusts that this or any other country has
ever known. (2) 1t is Republican at.

record which can neither be hidden nor
impeached. 1t is made up of facts which
speak louder than words as to the influ-
ences and forces which control the Re-
publican party. To "denounce trusts"
in view of this record. would simply be
to add imrudence to insincerity. And
it might have added that for the Re-
publicaus to denounce trusts, would be
as though horse thieves denounced horse
stealing, or a convention of bawds de-
clared for purity and against the social
evil. Every Republican may not be a
trust vampire, but every trust vampire is

ness prevented his return until Oct. goth.
In this emergency Ivan Rogers was re-

we'll done. Readers Of this paper know
that little space has been given to any
personal controversy with the editor of

but when under the above circumstan-
ces the following statement appears in
the Star:
Journalist Sryker is i'll Colorado and
has been there for a couple of weeks.
He seems to be in no hurry to get home.
The fact is that Stryker is nauseated and
disguised with the miserable jobbery in
volved in the putting up the Demo
cratic county ticket. He dare not ex-
pose the sell-out Of the Populist party;
he can't defend it, so he turns his news
paper over to the Democratic bosses and
HES himself away TO Colorado until the
campaign is practically over.

to this blow below the belt, this menda-
cious falsehood of the most notorious liar
in Kansas, man absolutely devoid Of
any sense of honor or decency or fair.

The time has come when every editor
should speak upon the County High
school proposition. My life previous to
the purchase Of this paper has been spent
in educational work. Every phase of it
has been carefully studied. The County
High school should be maintained, not
for the benefit of Wellington;but because
it will strengthen and unity and round
out the educational system Of the county
will benefit every district in it. No
money paid by the tax payers Of the
county will bring so great returns.
Every child, rich or poor, is entitled to
free tuition and good school privileges
under our free school system. No other
opportunity is offered to the country
boy or the country girl who desires to go
beyond the rudiments. The county
high school is one of the very best
things in our educational system. 1t is
here to stay. Failure to sustain it will
be reactionary. We believe it will be
sustained.

we venture to assert without fear OF
contradiction that during that quarter Of
