Give All a Chance.

MARK HANNA insists that the Fill
pinos are too ignorant to share in
government.
Most governments have been based,
practically, on the denial of the equal
rights of men. Ours began by affirm
ing those rights. They said, ''some
men are too ignorant and vicious TO
snare in government. Possibly so,
said we, and by your system you
would always keep them ignorant and
vicious. WE PROPOSE TO GIVE
ALL A CHANCE; and we expect the
weak to grow stronger, the ignorant
wiser and all better and happier to-
gether"

Consistency.

Every Republican national platform
heretofore has expressed sympathy for

Self-Government.

MARK HANNA insists that McKin-

that is self government.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN (Oct. 16, 1854
Speech at Peoria, ILL:
What I do say is that NO MAN IS

IRRESPONSIBLE Statements.

During his administration Mckinley
has made public statements of truths
only to later brand those some state
ments as false. He said that forcible
annexation according to our code of
morals was not to be thought of be-
cause it was criminal aggression and
then he proceeded on a policy of
criminal aggression He said it was
our plain duty to give free trade to
Porto Rico and then he proceeded to
support d bill which denied free trade
to Porto Rico.

1 desire to preserve this government
that it may be ADMINISTERED FOR

elevate the condition of men, lift arti-
fetal burdens from all shoulders and
clear the paths of laudable pursuits
for all; to afford all an unfettered
start and a fair chance in the race of
life. This Z the leading object of the
government for which we contend.

SAD CASE OF POVERTY
COnsumptive Husband and Family of
Four HuddIed in n 10 Room.

A very sad and severe case of poverty
is said to exist at the little shanty, 402
North Main street which should merit
the attention of many Of the charitable
people of Wichita. In the little un-clad
building is the family of A ]. Carter,
consisting Of the husband, wife and three
little children. The husband is very i'll
with consumption and lies on a hard bed
in the back corner Of the little place. His
wife has small stock Of candies, cheap
novels and cheap sundries in the front
part of the room, which is partitioned off
with a rough board partition. The living
apartment is not more than eight by ten
feet. square, and here the entire family
are huddled together, the children and
wife having to occupy the same bed with
the invalid father and breathe an atmos-
phere that is revolving and unhealthful.
The little stock of goods is really a harm
to the family, as it keeps the real condi-
ton of the people in disguise and az
fords no feans Of a livelihood. as the
sales would not average over ten cents
day The Kings Daughters, It is under
stood, have been rendering some assist
ance to the family, but they can do moth
ing towards getting the children out Of
their present unhealthful surroundings.
The family came. here a few months ago.
They were formerly in splendid financial
circumstances and are said to be refined
and worthy people in every sense. Their
present condition has been brought about
through the long effort TO secure health
for Mr.. Carter, an effort which seems to
bsiye been in vain.
