WHILE the Seventh district congress
sional muddle is not pleasant to con-
template, 1t is nevertheless true that
the other fellows are having troubles of
their own. The particular thing that
jan3les their tune Is the contest over
United States senator. Already in
three or four counties the Burton
forces have picked up their doll rags
and bolted out of the conventions in a
huff. Now the Baker forces are pre-
ferring charges against Kelly, the Sec
retary of the State committee Tor en-
tering actively into the fight and using
his official position in Burrton's inter

cross eyed and talking ugly about State
treasurer Grimes for using his office as

TIE 'governmeut' in Great Britain
is In about the same condition as the
administration in this country. 1t has
a war on its hands it would like to let
go of and is afraid to hold onto. At
the outset of the war the government
announced that the cost would not be
more than million pounds, 1t has
now cost more than hundred million
pounds and the end Is not yet. 1t has
brought the nation to the verge of
bankruptcy and the commercial inter
ests Of the country almost into panic.

war is In very bad repute and there are
very strong symptoms that the govern

THERE are some qaeer inconsistencies
in this republican campaign but that
Is not peculiar. The one we have In
mind just now is that while in Kansas
and thiswestern country they are TAX
ing the position that the democrats are
swallowing the popqlists, in the East
they are straining themselves to prove
that the populists are swallowing the
democrats For example the great
comic, illustrated paper, Puck, q few
weeks aGo had large double page
cartoon in which populism was repre-
sented as u boaconstrctOr with Bryan's
head in the act of swallowing the
democratic party which was typi6ed by
the democratic donkey. Republican
leaders are not circulating Puck as a
campaign document in this section.
But among the democrats of the East
where populism is yet supposed to be a
synoym of anarchy and dynamite, it is
no doubt valuble.

BIGGER THAN GERMANY.

| ------
BIGGER THAN GERMANY.
The Topeka State Journal is not a
democratic or populist paper. Prob
ably no one on earth at the present
time knows just what It's politics 10.
but II has seemed very much more like
u republican journal than anything
else and has seemed to favor the ex-
pansion idea generally. But In its
issue of August 2nd, the Journal gives
some figures In an editorial which
should certainly cause any American
citizen to pause and consider. The
Journal article says;
Much discussion Is being INDUCED in
these days by taxpayers and voters as
to the amount Of the United States war
expenditures compared with other ma
tIons Comparison of the amounts is
hereby given; France with popula-
tlon of 3S, ,5l7 ,905 had in 1898 a war
budget Of $l2S, ,5l7 9Sl; Germany with
SO 27O,aOl population had Sal ,l75,350
in 1898; Au5tria-lIungary, population
II, 1927 800 had in 1897, SS6,0S3, ,02i;
Russia with population Of l2s,9O2,-
l78, had u war budget of $llS,6iO ,l0l,
in 1898; Turkey, population S3,5G9, ,7S7
had fund Of $40 ,02l, ,7j5 in 1897; Italy
with % ,S09,7 ,705, had budget of $40,
650 500 In 1909; Great Britain with 81,
SSS, ,i3J population had tremendous
budget Of SsS 1852, ,756 in 1898,
"Now comes the Uuited States with
a budget of $207 SOP ,5i3 % for the year
1901, This is nearly double that of
Russia or Germany and three that of
Great Britain aud six times that under
which Italy is staggering, 1t Is to be
remembered that this does not include
the cost of the navy on which the gov
ernment Is spending more than any
other country save England"
The actual army appropriation for
the fiscal year 1901 Is nesrly five time
the amo INT of the cost of the army In
1895.
These GgnreS are appalling, There
is no prospect that the situation in the
Philippines will settle for a number of |
years 80 that these war expenses can be
lesSened. Even though the
islands are nominally conquered, 1t
will require large army to garrison
them and hold the people in subjection.
Not only that but the policy of lmper-
laliam 10 never content with It's Condi-
tion but is always seeking new drec-
tions for expansion. Not only are
these figures appalling in their awful
as shown above, but an ex-
shows that while we have
with the German people
as the worst military burdened of
Europe, this administration has
brought us to such pass that our
taxes per capita for military purposes
are 1884 while theirs are only $27I.
Or in other words our military burdens
are almost twenty-five per cent heavier
than theirs.
Yet republican devotees of the ad-
tell us we are in no dan
ger OF imperialism and are making
heir most strenuous efforts to still
urther increase the standing army.
They tell us that we are in no danger

hat we are paying more by one fourth

itary institution than the worst nation

"At daybreak Tuesday morning tue
Doors opened u stiff fire. The British stood
to the guns, where they had slept, aud the
engagement was resumed vigorously. The
ield artillery poured shrapnel into the
snemy's trenches.
"a rumor that Ladysmith has been re-
Iieved enlivened the British, who sent up
ringing cheer. This was taken for an ad-
vance. The first kopje was carried at the
point OF the bayonet, and the Beers re-
treated to the next kopje, which, like most
others, was strewn with Immense boulders,
,urmounted by mounds on the summit.
"The British advanced steadily, and the
Beers relaxed slightly. The latter did not
show such tenacity as previously. Their

heir cannon fired but seldom. Apparent

A dispatch to the Chronicle from Spear
mans Camp, dated late Monday. says:
General Warren continues pushing the
,nemy. though necessarily he Is making
very slow progress, the Beers being nu-
nerous and strongly intrencbed on the
kopjes they hold. They have several good
guns mounted, but the greatest effect Is
produced by their MaIims and rifles.
Our infantry Is working over parallel
ridges with Lord Dundonald's cavalry ly-
ing we'll out on the left flank awaiting de-
velopments. General Warren's artillery re-
opened fire Monday morning. The Beers
did not reply and our fire became less
hot. The naval guns here have bsen
luiet.
"A Boer prisoner here has boasted that
Il would take us three months to reach
Ladysmith."
The censorship is very strict, but the
latest kilograms allowed to come through
confirmed the reports that the progress OF
the British was very slow and difficult.
The kilograms, however, lett too much un-
said to enable realization Of the precise
disposition OF the British forces.
Meantime, the very moderate total OF the
British casualties and the small proportion
of deaths showed a very different handling
Of the troops compared With many OF the
previous engagements. 1t also furnished
proof OF the correspondents statements
concerning the growing skill OF the British
soldiers OF availing themselves OF cover
like the Beers.
An incident Of Sundays lighting was an.
attempt OF the Beers to turn the extreme
British left. The manGuvre was defeated,
however. by the artillery and the Devon
shire Regiment. =.
The TImes's correspondent concurred
with some others in saying that the Beers
lsed the guns captured at Colenso In OPP
posing the British advance.

which is known to exist between imperial

body was taken to his former home at

Chief OF Police Berry, Of Chester, had

gives much importance to an anonymous
letter ne received a fortnight after Eyre

woman's hand, without attempt at dis.
guise, informed the police that Eyre had
been murdered for jealousy and that his
body would be found just where It was

Eyre was the admirer OF an estimubls
young woman who lives in Philadelphia.
He called on her the night before his dis
appearance. She strenuously denies
knowledge OF the anonymous letter.
