WHATEVER may be said of the AK
iom that trade follows the flag" there
can be no question that the nation
which is able to send it's commodities
to foreign markets in it's own ships has
q decided advantage over nations that
csnpot do this. Great Britain's COM
mercial supremacy is largely due to her
possession of this advantage, which
she still relies upon to keep her at the
head of the worlds commerce, while
Germany's rapid advance in recent
years as q commercial power has been
greatly aided by her merchant marine.
Our merchant marine must be built
ND. The results of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war have opened field for CON-
MERGE that Is of immense Importance.
By means of our acquisition OF terri
tory In the far east, We have secured a
foothold on the continent and
islands of Asia which, if taken advan-
tage of while the time is ripe, will en-
ablesus to grasp the trade OF the orient
in q way entirely unexpected before
the war with Spain. But to'take advan-
tage of the opportunity, ships must be
provided to transport our goods, and
congress will1be called upon at its
coming session to do something towards
this end. A bill introduced in the last
congress providing for subsidies will,
it is expected, be brought forward
again at an early date in the coming
session. There is prevailing preju-
dice against subsidies, but free ships
are out of the question. Perhaps some
sort of compromise may be effected, by
which tho. subsidy bill may be
modified to meet. in a measure at least
the objections raised against 1t. At
any rate, we want, as Congressman |
Cushmsn .is quoted as saying, 'any- |
thing that will enable US to build up
and grssp the shipping op-
portunities now within our reach"

ANOTHER question of color has
arisen. The son of q Chinese laundry
man entered the st. Louis schools, and
the superintendent was puzzled wheth-
er to send him to q school for white or
colored children. The matter was re-
ferred to the board of education.
which discussed it at length. finally re-
ferring it to the boards attorney. The
lawyer decided that a yellow boy
comes nearer being white than black
and 80 the pupil goes to white chill
dren's school. This settles the ques-
ton In one city only.

SHOULD Britain put forth her whole
strength, and no European powers in
tervene to aid them, the Transvasl Of
fcials admit they must be overpowered.
"But," says Mr.. Smuts, the states at
torney, to an English correspondent,
"when you have conquered the Trans
vaal, it won't be another Ireland to
England, promise you. Ireland shall
be as a peaceful country compared
with what we shall make the Trans
vaal to England. It will be q hell on
earth to you of shooting and unrest.
Only the biggest armies will main tain
you in the country" Not a very COM
able prospect for England.

The other day the Topeka Cap
ital took notion that the trusts
should be suppressed and of course
argued that the Republican party
was the only party on earth that
could efficiently attack them. In
the depth of its wisdom it pro-
claimed further that only the gen.
eral government could deal with
them successfully. They partook
too much of the nature of inter.
state commerce to permit state con-
troll. The next day the wise at,or-
ney general of McKinley's cabinet,
Mr.. Griggs by name, delivered a
ponderous opinion in which he
declared that trusts were a thing
that the national government could
not reach, that the states would hay.

Republican organ Of Kansas and
the Republican national admin.

ideas on the manner of procedure
the trusts are making way with tn,

A Peru EmbezzIer Caught at Kiowa,

New York, March, 29.-Frederic
Bergman, consul general for Peru,
was much disturbed today when
shown dispatch stating that Nicolas
Rossi had been arrested at Kiowa,

embezzlement.
Mr.. Bergman showed in his copy
book the copy OF a letter to the chief
Of police Of Kiowa, Kan, asking that
official to keep his eye on Nicolas
Rossi, who had absconded from Peru
with a large sum Of money and wa:
known to be at Kiowa with his wife,
a grown.up son and his brother
Andrea. The letter asked that Rossi
be watched until papers should ar
rive. The consul general said that
RosSi was charged by an Italian bank.
ing house in Peru with having EN-
bezzled 5000 sofas, or about $500
The consulate had acted at the re-
quest Of a New York commission
house, which had as yet produced nc
papers upon which an arrest could be
based. The consul general could not
understand why the Kiowa policeman
thought it necessary to arrest a man
he had merely been asked to watch.

Monday night over an old feud about

hours before the officers aud police
succeeded in suppressing it. Several
men were slightly wounded, and
Green and Armsted OF the Texas were
most seriously injured. The former

latter was twice stabbed in the side.

The story Of devastation entailed
by the trusts is told very forcibly by
Hon. Mr.. Henley Of Lawrence, who
was forced to sell his barb wire fac
tory to the octopus, since which
time it has been closed down and 200
men thrown out of employment. Mr..
Henley says:
u am very sorry that the trust
closed the plant, because it will be a
bad thing for Lawrence. 1t gave EN-.
pigment to 200 men. Nearly all of
them were men with families, and
many will be compelled TO 20 else.
where 10 fnd employment. l did not
like to sell the plant, but it would
have been impossible for me to have
competed with the trust. ] started
the barb wire business in Lawrence
twenty one years ago, and it seemed
almost like parting with one of nv
family to part with the plant, but |
had to do it. A man might spend all
the accumulations of a lifetime in
lighting great combination, and
then not accomplish anything"
Mr.. Henley is the Republican rep
resentative from Lawrence. He
was chairman of the ways and means
committee of the house. While at
tending press meeting in Lawrence
a few years ago We we'll remember
with what pride the entertainment
committee showed the editors
through this institution. In local
public esteem it was priced next to
the great state university.

rlonIey for Street Commissioner

One OF the greatest needs OF the
city Of Wellington is street COM
missioner who will look diligently
after the streets and sidewalks. The
city has had miserable service, along
this line for years. We ike the ring

He means buseDess. Tom MOnley
has done more gratis work for the
city than any other man in it. Aud
That work was always done we'll
never sighted because it was done
free. Last fall when water was
scarce he advertised 10 haul water
free to those unable to pay for 10, and
he always paid for the water he
hauled besides. Many remember just
after the cyclone, In 1892, how he
hauled water for the multitudes aud
never would take cent Of pay from
the city. He often spriLkles the
streets for funeral professions, always
gratis, and the ball players have
often been the recipients Of his ben
efaction and arose and called him
blessed for sprinkling their grounds
whenever he could leave his regular
patrons. Tom takes an interest and
pride 10 the streets Of the city and
would make street commissioner
that would give the city more real
benefit thar any man that could pos
sibly be assigned to that duty.
Tom Monley has lived in Sumner

back in the seventies the people Of

serve them as justice of the peace,
constable, postmaster, etc. For four
