In their hurrah about imperialism,
the Bryan Democrats have given out
insinuations that the Mckinley adj
ministration did not intend to give
Cuba it's independence. They have
heretofore referred to a great many
things that President Mckinley did or
did not intend to do, but some how or
other he has always had way of set
ting their predictions at naught and
so he does in this case. The initial
steps are about to be taken to estab-
lish Cuban government. A pro-
clamation will soon be issued calling
for the election of a constitutional con-
vention for the purpose of framing a
constitution for the island. This con-
stitution will be approved at Washing
ton and as this country stands spon-
sor for the coming republic the consti-
tuition will be subject to certain re-
strictions, like the power to declare
war for instance, which will have to
first be approved at Washington. Its
foreign relations in the way of treties
ETC., will also be supervised through
Washington. 1t is also probable that
the matter of national debt will also
come under certain restrictions. But in
all internal affairs the Cuban republic
will have the widest range of liberty
that can be given. -..

Well, they are not all supporting
the Republican party. In fact as the
New York Sun pointed out recently,
they have declared for no party. Yet
there is the Tammany ice trust that

Democrats are trying to make the
farmers discontinued because they are
paying little more money this year
for their wire nails and wire for fenc-
ing. Of course they never point out to
the farmers that his extra profit this
year on two or three bushels of corn
will pay for an increase in the price
of keg of nails, and that his profits
on all farm products in this year alone
will pay for many times the cost of his
parbed wire, besides leaving him a
handsome surplus to put in bank or
pay off his mortgage, or improve his
buildings, or use for other purposes

While all the appropriations made
during the last session of congress
were 1874, 600, 600 larger than in 1900,
it should be remembered that nine
millions will be expended in taking
the census and upwards of seventeen
millions will be used for improving
the postal service, while another seven
millions will be spent in increasing
our navy. In other directions there
has been an actual decrease in appro-
priations.

The average value of the COWS on

day of January last, was $31.60. On
the first day of January, 1894, the av-

the cause of the advance in prices,
what is it that has added this value to

JAMES POOL KILLED.
Was a Good Man Leaves a
a Wife, Eight Children,

On July 3rd, James Pool. who
lived about six miles west Of
Welch, was in the city and brought
supplies for stand at picnic to
be held on the 4th at Eagle, |. I.
while the picnic was being en-
| joyed, the residences Of John Judd,
and several others in that neigh
borhood were robbed by three
men, who started with their plum
der for the Usage nation. On the
morning OF the 9th Pool and four
Others started after them. Pool
and the four men with him were
taking breakfast at farm near
Hominy Post, on Hominy Creek,
in the Usage nation, when the
three robbers rode up to get break
fast. Two men were living at the
place, and they, with one of the
posse who were after the men,
went out to the barn to put up the
robbers horses. Pool had recog-
nized his blankets in possession of
the three men who wanted break
fast, and while they were at the
barn plans were made for their
capture without bloodshed. AT
the proper time Pool was to give a
signal when the men were to be
taken. After the robbers were
scattered at the table Pool gave
the signal and ordered them to
throw up their hands. Two Of the
men did so, but the third man did
not, and Pool struck him to the
floor with gun. The robber
jumped up and clinched Pool,
when Geo. Barker, one OF the rob-
bers, fred at Pool, the ball enter
ing his right side, and passing
Just back of the heart clear through
the body. One of POOLS posse

grazing his thigh on the inside.
The robbers were soon overpower-
cd and taken to Pawhuska, where
they were put in JAIL They were
raised in the Usage nation, where
hey were well known, and where
their reputation was not good.
The remains of Pool were brought
10 his home Tuesday, and buried
Wednesday morning. He leaves

CAMPAIGN ASSESSING TS.

The expense connected with po-
litical campaigns is matter of fire.
quent comment. 1t has been often
remarked that campaign expenses
may easily eat up small fortune,
even in a canvass for a minor office.
The more important offices, of
course, demand proportionately
greater expenditure of money on
the part of the individuals seeking
them. 1t is said that candidate for
the United States senatorshIp from
this state some years ago spent not
less than $4,000 from first to last
in the canvass which landed him in
the senate. This expenditure COW
cred several campaigns in which he
took an active part, contributing
largely to state and local campaign
funds and paying his own expenses
on stumping tours over the state.
His unsuccessful rival is thought to
have spent fully as much, and in a
period of only a few months.
The assessments of candidates for
state offices by the state central COM
mittees have been increasing from
one campaign to another until they
now range from 900 to $4,000
and in few instances they have
run as high as $4,000. Twenty
years ago, an assessment of 81, 900
was considered high. To these as
sessments must be added the candi-
dates personal expenses in conduct
ing his campaign. This adds large
ly to the burdens of candidate.
The most Objectionable feature of
campaign assessments is that it prac-
tically makes it impossible for a
poor man to run for a state Office.
There are some cases where assess
ments have been ignored by candi-
dates, but that is dlsagreeable way
to deal with them. 1t leads to harsh
criticisms and sometimes to crimina-
ton and ecriminatlon.-South Bend
Times.
