IMPORTATIONS

Havana Feb. 2.-Sehor Jose Villalon. Secretary OF
Public Works issued an order annullng
tract entered into between the Pan-American Ex-
press Company and two railway companies in
Cuba granting the express company the exclusive
right to carry parcels over the two lines He
nulled the contract the ground that the Pan
American Express Company charged 80 per cent
more to carry parcels than the railroads were al
lowed to charge by law. 1t is generally thought
that he believed the late decree Of General Wood.
directing that civil affairs should go through civil
channels authorized him to issue the order without
appealing to the Governor-GeneraL
The Pan-Amercan Express Company appealed to
Adjutant-General Richards, who telegraphed for
instructions to General Wood, ana the latter re-
piled directing Senior Villalon 10 repeal the an
nullng order. which he did.
The order was popular the contract secured
by the Pan-American Express Company made II
essential that parcels should be expresseq the rail-
ways being permitted to carry parcels on their
own account.

KANSAS REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

We reaffirm the principles express
ed in the platform of the nationa
Republican party of 1896.
We endorse the wise and patriotic
administration of President Mckin-
ley Its signal achievements in wal
and peace, in Craftsmanship and di-
plomacy mark an epoch in the history
of the nation. The highest interests
of the country demand Its uninter-
rupted continuance through another
term of its great but uncompleted
work.
We congratulate the American peo-
pie in that the Republican party has
kept its pledge for the maintenance
of the gold standard ana the parity of
all our forms of money and compre-
hensive, courageous legislation.
The fnsurrection of Aguina1do is
kept alive by hope of Democratic sue
cess, based on the false cry of imper-
ialism. We condemn this unpatriotic
policy as being responsible for the
continued war in the Philippines with
its cost of precious lives and treasure.
We denounce the Democratic party
for its hypocrisy in pretending to ten
der regard for the governmental well
fare of the inhabitants of Porto Rico
and the Philippines while at the same
time deliberately disfranchising
thousands of American citizens in
southern states because of color, and
we urge our representatives in con-
gress to use their best efforts to bring
about such legislation as will remedy
these unjust coddItions.
We demand the prompt. efficient
and faithful enforcement of the anti
trust act of 1890, and such additional
and supplemental legislation as. will
meet the defects thereof, as indicated
by the supreme court of the United
States in its recent decisions; and we
denounce the combination and crea-
tion of corporate trusts and monopO-
lies, which seek to become the con-
trollers of industry and the arbitra-
tors of prices, as contrary to the COM
mon law, destructive of individual
effort and enterprise and inimical to
the welfare of the people and the
state and the nation.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of reciprocity and protec-

THE CENSUS MAN" ="

Next Friday, June 1, the work of
taking the census will commence. On
that day the enumerators will begin
their work bright and early. They
will be armed with police powers and
any individual refusing to yield up
the information asked for will be
guilty of violating a federal statute
and dealt with accordingly.
The law allows until June 15 for
completing the census in the cities
and until July 1 in the country dis
tricts. As soon as the returns are
complete, they will be sent at once to
Washington. No person is allowed
to give out any information regard
ing these returns under danger of fine
and Imprisonment. In Washington
the returns will be tabulated and
footed up and prepared for publi-
cation.
According to the census law, re-
turns must be made on the basis of
June 1. If man is alive on that day
he will have his name, place, occupa-
tion and all other facts relating to
him tabulated in the census returns,
even if he has died before the ''cen-
sus man" comes around. There may
be kicking, vigorous addition to the
family on June to June 10 when the
man with the pencil and blank forms
visits the house, but that particular
baby will have to wait ten years to be
counted. AS far as the census enum-
orators are concerned, the world
will come to an end on June 1.-Capi-
