EARLY PRIMARY.
City Nominations Will Be Made in
February.

The Republican city central committee
will probably call the city primary for
about the middle of February. Some of
the candidates for councilmen are al
ready active but in two or three of the
wards the people are still at sea. In the
Third and Fourth wards there is already
much activity. In the Third the fact that
NJ. Snattinger, old citizen and success
full business man had entered the race,
occaSioned much surprise and the fight is
now on between Mr.. Snattinger and P. H.
Forbes. Mr.. Forbes is a lawyer.
In the Fourth ward the candidates are
c. H Samson and w F. Weber and the
friends of both men are in an active con-
test.
The Republicans have not yet found
candidates against Councilman Blossom
of the First ward or Councilman Benson
of the Second

NO PRoF1T IN Vac.

From the CnlcaSO NeWS.l
A number of large purchases made by
England in this country in connection
with the equipment and maintenance of
the army in South Africa have lately
been reported as instances of our own
profit in Englands misfortune of war.
No doubt, too, the opinion is quite COM
monty held in this country that a Euro
pean war on a. large scale would be an
occasion of profit to the United States,
because it would result in higher prices
and increased exports of our foodStuffS,
as well as affOrding a market for some
commodities especially needed in mill
tary operations.
But one need go back no farther than
sixty days in order to be convinced that
even on the economic side Englands
war is unfortunate for this country and
that a great European war would be a
calamity to US. The disorders of last
month in the eastern money markets,
which would surely have run into
condition endangering the prosperity
of the whole country if they had not
subsidized, were partly due to the South
African war. The $15.000,O00 of gold
which England took out of New York
would probably not have been needed
except for the war. 1t is altogether
likely that if England should suffer a
further serious reverse in the Transvaal
the effect in the way of money
stringeney would be felt in New York
as quickly as in London.
England is much the largest buyer
of American products, and whatever
restricts her purchasing power must in
the end restrict the market for goods
from this country. A European war;
while it would stimulate exports for a
time, would in the end restrict them
because it would diminish Europe's
power to buy.

correctness of the report was admitted
and it was said that the order had been

it was the result of an application by

Just as Topeka had become measur-

business up comes that relic of a by

president Mckinley has betrayed

peace treaty and would never have
voted for its ratification of my own
volition. | told the President so,
and he induced me to vote for it by
solemnly pledging me that it was
not the intention of himself or the
government to forcibly hold.or per
manently acquire the Philippines.
Gle further stated that his per-
sonal desire was to restore law and
order in the islands and then sub.
NIT the matter to Congress, with the
idea of having it grant absolute
freedom and self government to the
Filipinos. With that pledge from
President William Mckinley voted
for the treaty. Without it | should
never have done So"
This is pretty severe arraign-
ment, but it is justified by the facts.
President Mckinley resorted to
tricks in the Philippine matter, just
as he changed his mind several times
as regards Porto Rico. He has
lacked straightforwardness in deal
ing with the people of the United
States and of the islands alike, while
steadily drifting away from the Con-
stitution and towards empire. The
people are very weary of that sort
of thing, and propose to put stop

whenever the flag floats over a land

true, you cannot get your soldiers

Manila, you have got to take the
whole Chinese Empire, because we
took all the islands of the Phillip

have got to take the 400, 900, 900
