GEO. E. BUDD.

The old veterans have several repre-
sentatives on the Republican county
ticket, one of whom is that tried and
true official, Geo. f. Budd, present
clerk of the court, and candidate for
reelection at the hands of the peo-
pie. That he will get it, and if any
thing by materially increased ma
iority, is of course assured, in view
of the excellent record made by him
in the office. Grant county has been
fortunate in always having had eXcep-
tionally able men to fill this respon-
sible position, and it is paying MIR.
Budd no higher compliment than ne
is deserving OF to say that he easily
holds mis- own with the best of them.

the TRAITS OF character which nave
made him an educational leader in
our county and state. 1t is no child's
play. looking after the three hundred
odd teachers and schools under his
charge. but task that requires
strong ply and mental endurance.
Other counties the size of Grant have
two superintendent to attend t.
their educational interests but with
us one man must do it all We know
, of none that has m lde better sue
cess of it than Mr.. Nye. Strict at
tendance to duty characterizes his Of
fetal conduct, and in his school visi-
tations inclement weather and rough
country roads have no terrors for him.
No matter what has to be encounter
ed his amiable disposition is just the
same, his temper never gets rutfled,
his kindly smile is always present,
and words of encouragement and good
cheer to the weary and worn teacher
rarely remain unspoken. Further
more his conscientious supervision of
our schools has placed them on high
standard of excellence and efficiency.
No wonder the teachers like him and
the inhabitants of the county want
him to continue in the office as long
as he will cons ent to serve. There is
not another su perintendent in the
state that has so much work 10 do
nor does it so well, taking everything
in consideration.

STARVING INDIA.
There Would be no Starving India" l
There We're no ThieYing England.

The people Of Kansas are contributing
literally to relieve the awful distress
which under British or rather bruitish
rule is yearly growing worst in India. 1t
is well that this be done. Distress any
where. should be relieved, but as this is
done It is well to think of what makes it
necessary, of the awful crime against
humanity OF which England is guilty.
As the ships laden with Kansas corn and
wheat go into the Indian ports they will
meet other ships laden with India
wheat taken from these starving people
by English greed and used to feed her
soldiers in Southern Africa while they
crush the life and independence of
people fighting bravely for their God
given right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit OF happiness" 1t is well to pause
and consider that we are now launching
upon a career patterned after England
and which must result in tbs same dis
aster to the subject people if the policy
is carried out. While India has never
produced revenue to British govern
ment and while her armies have suffered
untold horrors in an inhospitable climate,
English nabObs, Office holders and Eng
lish merchants have drawn millions
yearly in salaries and trade from these
poor people.
Both the common man in England and
the starving native in India have suffered
that her nabobs and merchant princes
might pile up their ill-gotten gains. So
will it be under Republican rule with
our foreign possessions. Increase of
taxation at home, impOverishment of the
nations in the colonies and the building
Of a ruling oligarchy in so-called free
America of Office holders and trusts such
as the world has never known before.

1t is well that Republicans VINO are
feeling so much elated over the failure Oh
fusion in this congressional district are
having their laugh now. FusiOnlsts Will
do their laughing later. The good feel
ing that prevails everywhere between
ponu,;sts and Democrats and the deter
mination on both sides to make conces-
sions and agree on one candidate as OOtn
parties do on platforms and principles VIII
result in the withdrawal Of one candidate
and the election of the ether to represent
the district now misrepresented by Ches-
ter. Outside of a dozen or two so-called
Populists and a smaller number ol So
called Democrats every Popullst and
every Democrat in Sumner county de-
sires fusion on a fair basis, and this de-
sire is strengthened rather than weakened
bv the action at Great Bend. WHAT Is
true in Sumner is true in the other coun-
ties in this district. Under such condl-
tions, with this desire for a union OF
forces gaining rather than losing strength
and with the former friendly feeling IN
broken and the knowledge that without
union defeat is certain the sober ludg-
ment and good sense of both parties Will
prevail, and the fusion forces will enter
the campaign this fall with less dlyis-
ion and less dissensions, with fewer con-
cealed knives than Republicans Will nave
in their own ranks. A far more friendly
feeling exists today between Populists
and Democrats than between Leland and
anti-Leland Republicans. The clouds
are rolling away and there is more reason
to take a hopeful view than there
seemed to be aweek ago. Extremists on
both sides should and will make some
concessions. Names and candidates will
not be permitted to stand ir the way OF
principles upon which all are agreed
We will next week print the two plat
forms side by side. Were the names
omitted either might be substituted tor
the other. Whichever candidate is Sc
lected and elected will 90 into the same
caucus and vote the same on all import
ant measures at Washington as would

and devotion to principle on the part OF
both to let names and desire for per-
sonal aggrandizemeut cause the contin-
uance of present conditions. Little 'me

The money that the national admins
tration has taken from the pockets OF the
liberty-loving people Of the United States
to pay for the unrighteous war it has been
waging in the Philippines, although the
sum amounts up beyond hundred mil
lion, is Of slight consequence compared
to the thousands Of splendid American
lives that have..been inundated upon the
altar of greed and imperialism.
But sadder even than the enormous
sacrifice of life and health which the un-
holy work of conquest has entailed is the
spectacle of number Of our soldiers being
driven to madness and suicide by the ter
rible strain uponStheir minds and bodies
caused by the tropical climate, and the
hardships and diseases encountered in the
Philippine campaign.
Statisticians who have kept up with the
records OF tue war department declare that
the rate of suicide in our Philippine army
is the largest in the history Of modern war
fare. The fguresin Otis casualty lists
SHOW more suicides Of late weeks than
deaths in action. Three every seven
DAYS is the average number of those who
have been resorting to self-slaughter.
These unfortunates are not confined TO the
rank and file. Six officers since the cam.
paign opened have blown ont their brains
TO rid themselves of decisions brought on
by Philippine fevers.
But these insane suicides are a small
proportion of the total number Of soldiers
who have gone stark mad and been saved
from destroying themselves by the timely
interference of comrades. A New York
paper makes the assertion that for every
man of the eighty-two who have killed him
self with a revolver or Kraag Jorgeusen
there are a dozen who have become insane
and been locked up to await transport
alton to the lunatic asyluns Of this coun
