International Congress Idea.

New YORK, Aug. 2I.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley is considering the
advisability of proposing to the powers
the organization of an international con-
gress which shall sit in China and recon-
mend to the several governments repre-
sented permanent solution of pending
questions.
The president recognizes the fact that
the duties United States Minister Conger
would be called upon to perform would
be so exacting and arduous that it would
be unfair to ask him to take ihe addi-
tional burden of discussing method of
settlement of the matters in controversy
that Special Commissioner Rockhill will
be too busily employed in obtaining in
formation and in communication with
high Chinese officials to give time to them
and that direct negotiations between the
powers is liable to prove unsatisfactory
and give rise to compile ations which
might otherwise be avoided.
Talks with diplomats here indicate
that their governments would be willing
to join i'll congress for settlement of the
Chinese question, and the German charge
d'affaries Varon Won Sternberg has been
suggested as the representative of Ger
many.

Senatorial Convention.

The republican senatorial conven-
ton met in Las Animas on Monday
and after an exciting three cornered
contest nominated NJ. u. Farwell, of
La Junta, on the Both ballot by a
vote of 10 to Il for A. Il. Bent. While
Prowers county would have preferred
to have our home candidate nomina-
ted, yet in the winner we recognize a
staunch republican, a popular and
upright gentleman, and an able and
substantial business man, who when
elected in November will reflect honor
upon the district and the party. He
is largely interested in business en-
terprises of he valley, and will be an
energetic worker for every measure
thai can benefit this section. Prov
ers county will roll up a handsome
majority for him.

For Commissioner.

For the important office of COM
missioner the republican convention
has nominated j. X. Stevenson, one
of the early settlers of the north side
and also one of the best known. He
is man of ability and integrity, of
good education and business training,
and has demonstrated his fitness for
the office by making success of
farming under the adverse circum-
stances existing here in the early
days Mr.. Stevenson has the unani-
nous endorsement of his neighbors
and of the north side generally, and
it was this which nominated him and
will also elect him.
The Lamar register., 1900-09-12

The nominee for commissioner, j. X.
Stevenson, is man of strong political
prejudices, who is not calculated to draw
votes from the opposition or to hold the
liberal element of his own party. 1t is
the general belief that the rights Of the
minority would get scant recognition if
Stevenson and his associates were in con-
troll of the county board.-Lamar Sparks.
The above will cause every voter
of Prowers county hearty laugh,
coming as it does from the organ of
the gang which has never recognized
the rights of the minority or any body
else during the past seven years but
its own small clique. Its liberality
has consisted solely of the manner in
which it has dished out the public
money to it's members.

Joe Bailey of Texas will stump the

Joe is hot after the trusts. He has

same time, as mere CO incidence of
course, that trust, which had been
barred from doing business in Texas,
was granted permit. No wonder
he is still after the trusts.

THE SHELDON PAPER.

The Sheldon edition of the Tope-
ka Capital which was published last
week must have necessarily been a di g.
appointment TO many people; that
much was known before it was publish
cd. But there are many things which
can be said in commentator. Mr..
Rev Sheldon has the right idea as re-
CARDS causes of and remedies for mis-
cry and evil and we have read many
of his artlcles-particular those deal
ing with combined wealth and trusts
with interest. There can only be one
criticism on Rev. Sheldon's discussions
of reform issues and that is, that they
were too conservative. But, as whole.
last weeks edition of the Capital was
an Improvement on any daily we have
ever read, insofar as the discussion of
present issues are concerned. In cur
rent news, however, 1t was not up to
the standard.
The fact that it did not fulfill public
expectation does not subtract from the
good it has achieved. In instances like
this the public always expects toe
much. If the Capital would Away:

Ralph Faxon, in special
correspondence to the Wichi-
ia Eagle, says that trusts will
not be an issue in the ap-
preaching campaign. II the
republicans had their way
about it, they certainly would
not, but the people are going
to make it an issue in spite of
what the republican party
wants. But whether the re.
publicans discuss trusts OF
not, they will embrace a weak
meaningless antitrust plank
in their platform and later
they will be laughed off the
stump, just as Faxon's boss
was when his platform favor
ed the free coinage of the
American product" It is moi
strange that the republican
party is afraid of the trust
issue. With it's record, it moi
only ought to be afraid, but
it ought to be ashamed to face
the people. 1t is to the re
publican party that trusts are
obligated for their gorgeC
condition, and it is to tina
party they look for a contin
uation of power and a multi
plication of plumber and lille
