The City Of Peking is still the
center of interest to the news-read-
ing world. For month or more
the world has been trying to read
the riddle lying within its jealous
walls-the safety or the slaughter
Of foreign legations and foreign
residents and visitors-and the
contradictory answers which have
been received are more perplexing
than was the silence of the ancient
Sphinx. Possibly the answer may
have to be sought by a besieging
army, and to take Peking, if well
defended, will be- a difficult and
costly task. The city is surround
ed by wall twenty-five miles in
circumference, wall as thick and
strong as the walls OF ancient
Babylon, and the gates and walls
are defended with Krupp guns.
The European nations will have
to face the improved arms they
have sold to the Chinese of late
years. The soldiers of the Ger
man emperor to whom he has
recently made an passioned speech
asking them to revenge the death
of his murdered minister, will
have to face the Chinese soldiers
who have been instructed in the
art Of war by German officers.

YOUNG man, you want to get
the affection and admiration of
the whole people, don't you?
And you think you can do SO in
but one way, and that by get
ting riches. Well, you never
was off your cawhirl SO far as on
that proposition. The world
may ''seem" to fall down and
worship the Ich man-but it is
not the man at all, but his
wealth they worship; and that
worship ise only covetousness:
The man who is really esteemed
by the masses is never the one
who has the faculty of amassine
wealth; but rather the man who
has in his heart and mind thu
desire to treat all men as equals
the wish to do only as he would
be done by, the desire to better
not only his own condition bur
that of all mankind. Do yOt
know of any such among tn

Hindo Version of the Creation of Woman.

dln00 version OF the Creation OF woman.
cat the beginning of time,
Twashtri-the Vulcan of the
Hindu mythology created the
world. But when he wished to
create a woman he found that he
had employed all his materials
in the creation of man. There
did not remain one solid element.
Then Twashtri, perplexed, fell
into a profound meditation. He
reused himself to do as follows:
He took the rOundness of the
moon, the undulations of the
serpent, the entwinement of
climbing plants, the trembling of
the grass, the slenderness of the
rose-vine, the velvet OF the flow
er, the lightness Of the leaf and
the glance of the fawn, the gay
ETY. of the SUMS rays and the
tears of the mist, the Inconsistency
Of the wind and the timidity of
the hare, the vanity OF the pea
cock and the softness of the down
on the throat of a swallow, the
hardness of the diamond, the
sweet flavor of honey and the
cruelty of the tiger, the warmth
of fire, the chill of snow, the chat
ter of the Jay and the cooling of
the turtle dove. He united all
this and formed a woman. Then
he made a present of her to man.
Eight days later the man came
to Twashtri and said:
My Lord, the creature you
gave me pOisons my existence.
She chatters without rest, she
cakes all my time, she laments
for nothing at all, and is always
ILL., And Twashtri received the
woman again.
"But eight days later the man
came again to the god and said:
My Lord my life is very solitary
since | returned this creature.
remember how she danced before
me, singing. |. remember how
she glanced at me from the cor
ner OF her eye, that she played
with me, clung to me- And
Twashtri. returned the woman.to
him. Three days only passed
and Twashtri saw the man COM
ing to him again. My Lord,
said he, Il do not understand ex-
actly how, but am sure that the
woman causes me more annoy
ance than pleasure. Ibeg of you
relieve me of her.
''But Twastri cried: Go your
way and do your BEST And the
man cried: l cannot live with
her! Neither can you live with
out her, replied Twashtri.
"And the man was sorrowful.
murmnring: tWoe is me, | can
neither live with or wi t h
her. ~ -Sanskrit.

THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.

On Saturday, June 10Th, the
members of the democratic con-
gressional committee of the 7th
district were called together at
Hutchinson to take under ad-
visement the conditions that are
growing out of there being two
candidates in the field opposing
republicanism. There were 21
counties represented by COM
mitteemen, and most Of the
sother counties were heard from
through letters from their COM
mitteemen.
The recent letter of Mr.. l. p.
Campbell, the populist nominee,
in which he assumed to dictate
as to what should be done in the
matter, and which he did also
without the consent or consulta-
tion with the congressional COM
mittee OF his party, had placed
Mr.. Duval, the logical fusion
nominee, in a peculiar position
a situation that called for
prompt action on the part Of
those who wish a settlement of
the differences for the success of
the fusion cause rather than for
the advancement of the personal
ambitions of any man or set Of
men.
When the committee met,
Chairman Pitts submitted the
following communication from
Mr.. Duval:
Hutchinson. Kan, June IS, 1900.
Hon. Geo. T. Pitts, Wellington Kan.
DEAR SIR: Herewith hand you
letter from Hon. l. P. Campbell of
Wichita. with my reply thereto. I
desire that you place these communica.
tions before your committee at the
earliest possible moment for their con-
sideration.

congressional convention at Great

committee any power to withdraw me
from the race. YET feeling as do that
the committee should have this power,
have, after thoughtful consideration,
decided as your candidate and do by
this letter, give you and your committee
as the official representatives of the
Democratic party of this district, full
power to settle any and all controver-
sizes that may arise between Mr..
Campbell and myself. or for that mat
ter so far as l may have anything to
say, to settle any differences between
the two committees of the two parties.
You will note Mr.. Campbell makef
a direct and specific proposition.
him because believe neither Mr..
Campbell or myself have any right to
ignore our committees in reaching any
agreement as to what is best for the
success of fusion, or what might be the
wishes OF our respective parties. there
/ fore empower you to accept or reject
Mr.. CampbelPs proposition. and will
willingly abide by your decision on the
subject. Yours truly.

CONGRESSMAN LONG was one OF

near the close of the recent ses-
sion, voted to put the labor
unions of the land under the ban
OF ''trusts, making them amen

of the labor unions in this dis

more for that, his latest official
act in the interest of his master?
We hardly think SO. In fact, we
have every reason to believe
that the unanimous labor union
vote will go to Mr.. Duval, this
fall.

coward to avoid arrest and trial
on the charge of being in part
responsible for the murder OF
Goeble. But s'there are none SO
blind as they who WILL NOT
SEE"
| AS WILL be seen elsewhere the
democrats of this, the 7th con-
gressional district, as represented
by their committee, have issued
an address stating why Mr.. Du-
val is the real candidate of the
fusion forces. We believe that
Mr.. Duval, in putting himself un-
reservedly in the hands of his
committee, as he did in his letter
to the committee, pursued the
only course open to him as a
gentleman and a fusionist. He
had no strings to his candi-
dacy-he did not assume to die
tate terms orcOnditions; did not
pose as a martyr or as a boss;
but took the broad ground that
whatever was done in the inter
ests of harmonious action should
be done by the regularly consti-
tuted committees of the demo-
crat and populist parties. On
the other hand, Mr.. Campbell's
recently published letter to Mr..
Duval presents only the individ-
ual opinion of that gentleman,
as to what he, alone, thinks
ought to be done. That his let
ter was prepared and made
public without regard to the
populist congressional commit
tee, it's wishes or desires, or with
out foundation in fact for many
of the claims and assertions
therein made, is notori o usly
glaring. 1t transpires that, at a
recent meeting of the peoples
party committee, where 10 coun-
ties were represented, 16 Of those
committeeman desired Mr.. Camp
bell to withdraw from the race in
favor OF Duval. A week was
given Mr.. Campbell to give his
committeeman an answer. Sew
eral weeks have passed, and his
committee has had no reply from
him whatever. Neither had his
committee any knowledge of his
letter to Mr.. Duval until they
saw it in public print. We sum
up the situation in this manner:
All of the democrats, and three
fourths of the populists, believe
that Mr.. Duval is the logical fu-
sion candidate, and that Mr..
Campbell should be pulled off.
Mr.. Duval has placed the matter
of his candidacy fully in the
hands of his committee, with no
reservations or conditions. Mr..
Campbell has placed his resigna-
tion in the hands of his CON-
mittee with several strings to it,
with conditions that Mr.. Duval
could not accept and which the
fusion voters of the district can
not recognize. Mr.. Campbell is
the candidate of himself and a
few democrats at Wichita for
purely local reasons; Mr.. Duval
is the candidate of THE PEOPLE.
The two congressional commit
tees should, as soon as possible.
meet in joint session and take
such action as will place both
men in their proper light before
the people, SO that all voters ol
the district may unite upon one
man and elect him.
