DRNoUNcRD MCKINLEY.
Anti-InrnsTiaiists Put Themselves ON Res
ord as Opposing the Rresidss.s's Re-
election-YYant Convention called

PhiIadelphfa, Feb. 24-Yesterday'
proceedings of the eastern confer
euce of anti-imperiaIists began with
an executive meeting Of the commit
tee on resolutions. The resolutions
drafted by this committee were unan-
moasly adopted with slight amend
ments~ They are as follows:
Whereas, The present administration.
under the lead OF President Mckinley, has
undertaken to extend the sovereignty OF
the United States over various tropical
islands In no case with the consent OF
their people and in the Philippines by
force Of arms and denies tha1 the inhab-
itantS of these islands have any conSti-
tutionar rights;
Resolved That this policy violates the
principles upon which our government
rests and not only subverts' the liberty of
these islanders but also endangers the
permanenee OF free institutions, In our
country.
Resolved. That we will support no man
for the presidency or for congress who
is not known to be absolutely opposed to
this policy and that we will do our best
to defeat all candidates for either office
who favor it.
Resolved, That we request the execu-
tive committee OF our NATIONAL league to
call a national convention at such time
as they think wise for the purpose of Sc
curing united action by all who hold these
views.
Senator Hoar came in for some
criticism. Several of the delegates de-
clared that little assistance could be
expected from him owing to his
stanch support of the president. Mr..
Storey, of Massachusetts,, said that
Senator Hoar could make an excellent
anti-imperialstic speech, had done SO
and would do so again, but when the
time came for voting he voted with
the president.

"A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
victory for Charles Curtis.

The result of the republican pri-
zmary elections in Atchison, Brown
s-and jackson counties ends the con-
test between Charles Curtis and w.
j. Bailey for congress in the First dis
trict. The convention will be held at
-Atchison March 20. Curtis will be re-
nominated on the first ballot, if not
by default. With these three counties
land Shawnee, his own county, for
him, Curtis will have SIS votes in the
convention, or a majority of IS.
Leavenworth county will send an I'M
instructed delegation to the con-
gressional convention. This was de-
cided upon by the friends of Con-
gresham Bailey and the managers of
Congressman Curtis in a conference,
and was the result of the victory of
Mr.. Curtis in the Jackson, Brown and
.Atchison primaries.
The victory carries with it not
tonly success for Charles Curtis, but the
selection of two anti-Leland men TO
represent the district in the national
republican convention. This was
.one of the issues of the contest.
Really 1T was the overshadowing ques-
ton, and Bailey was almost lost sight
of. Cyrus Leland was sponsor for
Bailey, and so the opportunity was
seized to make an ''anti-boss'' fight
Old scores against Leland were dug
sUp all over the district.

Morton County's Good Record.

Morton county, in the extreme
southwest corner of Kansas, 60 miles
from a railroad, the smallest in area
and most sparsely settled, last week
paid into the state treasury its full
quota of taxes. This is nothing short
of remarkable, especially when all the
circumstances are considered. The
first half of the years tax has only re-
Gently been paid into the county
treasury; yet, the county's full share
of tax for the whole year was paid.
The tax from the people which is
not totally collected until June has
been advanced by the county, showing
that the financial affairs of the
county must be in remarkably good
condition. Many of the larger and
more important counties of the state
are delinquent in state taxes, and
have been so for several years.

ties of the state must pay the amount
of state tax apportioned to them re-
CARELESS of whether they collect it
from taxpayers or not. The county
authorities claimed that, in the col

suit the counties are behind in the
payment of their back taxes. Several
of them are demanding that their ac-
counts be credited with the amounts
which they have not been able to col
lect. The state auditor referred the
matter to the attorney general, who
