Another Ticket.

The News last week suggested a
state Republican ticket that was an
exceedingly able effort and reflected
great credit on that journals judg.
ment as to the kind Of men needed to
run the commonwealth. We violate
no confidence in stating that should it
be elected Kansas would see the best
administration in all its history.
Further, Abilene would get the state
capital and a public building before
1t had been in power six months,
OF course, the opposition will also
need a ticket and while as against the
one namedby the News it could not
win we submit the following as about
the proper list to make good show.

THE BOER WAR.

Again, the news is, that Butler and
Methuen are about ready to advance,
and that the Beers are holding Lady
smith and Kimberly, very much like
John Phoenix held down his adversary,
to-wit: by inserting his nose between
his adversary's teeth. But Gen. French
and Gen. Gatacre have gained some
minor advantages over the Beers, in the
north of Cape Colony, near Orange riv-
er; yet the engagements were mere
skirmishes. One engagement, over
which there was considerable cackling
in the English barn yard, was at Sunny
side, where d force of only fifty Beers
were engaged, and were captured by
Canadian and Australian troops. Re
endorsements for the British army,
however, are arriving by divisions, and
it will not be long till important moves
are made.

TO CONTROL TRUSTS.
The Government Must Protect the
People.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. 29.-Charles
G. Dawes, Comptroller of the Currency,
made speech at the Republican State
love feast in the Assembly Hall today,
which aroused the greatest enthusiasm
and was regarded by many as outlining
the policy of the administration and
the Republican party towards trusts.
After comparing the conditions prevail
ing in 1896 and the present, Mr.. Dawes
claimed that as the Republican party
had proved itself able to cope with ad-
verse conditions, it would be able to
continue in prosperity.
Speaking on trusts, Mr.. Dawes said
it was the duty of the Republican party
to take hold of the subject energetical-
ly and without wavering. 1t was its
duty to conserve public interests.
Wherever trusts proved themselves in
imical to the public veal they must be
restrained and controlled, and, if nec-
essary, laws should be passed that
would SO much encourage active COM
petition as to bring about the disinte-
grafton of trusts. Mr.. Dawes did not
claim all trusts were in restraint of
trade, but said that those that proved
themselves to be such should be legis-
lated against.
''Rather than h ave in the hands OF
any corporation the power to absolute
ly fix the price of the necessities OF life
at an arbitrary figure, the people OF the
United States will eventually and right
fully do one of two things" continued
Mr.. Dawes, ''they will enact legislation
for the absolute protection of the peo-
pie from extortion by governmental
regulation more or less extended, as
public necessities may require, or they
will enact legislation for the enforced
| creation of competition by the disinte.
grafton of trusts. With nothing less
than one of these two things will, OF
should, the people of the country be
satisfied.
"The question of the proper legisla.
tive treatment of these great combina.
tions formed for the purpose of mouop
olistic control of production, and the
distribution of some of the necessities
and comforts of life, is one of the great
est and most practical which ever con
fronted the political parties of the Ma
tion, and our party must take the first
j steps in its sOlutiOn.''

IMMEDIATE ACTION
Is Demanded Of the Republican
Party
ON THE TRUST EVIL !!
No Half Way Measure Will Be
Accepted.
IN THE TRUST EVIL!
State and National Legislatures Must
Act, and Act Promptly.

The Ohio Legislature organized last
Monday. A bill has already been in
troduced to make effective the anti
Trust Law. The people will be salts
fed with no half way measure. The
Trust evil is the worst that ever raised
it's horrid front in this cOuntry-wOrse
than slavery, worse than intemperance,
worse than civil war. Not in its pres
ent form, but in it's inevitable results.
Its natural workings are to build up a
monied aristocracy that will destroy
Republican government, destroy civil
liberty of the masses, paralyze all hope
and enterprise, and make serfs of the
masses. This is not the chimera of an
alarmist, but is written in the shadow
of great evil that is already upon us.
The alarm cannot be sounded too loud
nor too soon.

The American Troops Have Begun

Advance.
CABUYAO IS NOW OCCUPIED.
Twenty-Five Rebels Were Killed and
Many Prisoners Taken-Amer-
ican Loss Was Slight.

MANILA, Jan 1-10:30 p. m.-The
first movement of a general south ad-
vance occurred this morning when two
battalions of the Thirty-ninth Infantry
landed and occupied Cabuyao, on the
south side of Laguna de Bay. Two
Americans were killed and four were
wounded. Twenty-four of the enemy's
dead were found in one house. One
hundred and fifty prisoners and four
six-pounder rapid-fire guns were cap
tured.
The gunboat Laguna de Bay bonn
barded the town before the disembark-
alton of the troops from the cascoes,
which was made under the enemy's
shrapnel fire. The enemy evacuated
the place before the charging Ameri-
cans, retreating to Santa Rosa, to which
town they were pursued.
THERE WAS HEAVY FIGHTING.
Heavy fighting occurred along the
road to Santa Rosa, which was occupied
by the insurgents retreating south to.

ROBERTS MUST GO.
CHAIRrAN TAYLOR SAYS THE
COMMITTEES REPORT rlUST
BE UNANIMOUS.

The testimony in the Roberts case is
practically ended, and nothing now re-
mains to do but to listen to the argu-
ments. Representative Taylor, Chair
man of the Investigating Committee,
addressed note to Roberts on Satur-
day telling him that it was the purpose
of the committee to send for Marshal
Letcher, of Salt Lake City, outlining
to him what the nature of the Marshall s
testimony would be, and asking him
whether he would have any witnesses
to call in rebuttal Mr.. Roberts re-
piled on New Years day that he is
through with his testimony.
''The testimony of Letcher, said Mr..
Tayler, 'ihas to do with visit which
he made to house in which Roberts
was living in Salt Lake City. 1t was
in the daytime, and he found him i'll in
bed, suffering from an operation. The
lady of the house introduced herself to
the Marshal as Mrs. Roberts. She was
his third wife, and told the Marshal
that she had been married prior to the
amnesties issued by the general gov
ernment. Personally am not in favor
of sending for Letcher, but some of the
members seem to want to satisfy their
consciences by adding the weight of his
testimony.
ITO me it does not strengthen the
case in any particular. Roberts, in
deed, has pleaded guilty to all that has
been charged when he declined to take
the stand. Had he taken the stand ii
would have been a picnic for u.s."
There have been stories that the re-
port of the committee might not be
unanimous, but that certain members
would recommend that Roberts be
sworn in and expelled. Mr.. Tayler
says that there is no ground for this be-
lief, and that he is satisfied that the
report will be unanimous.
SIN fact" said Mr.. Tayler, ''the per-
sonal attitude of Mr.. Roberts is most
a,ldacious. His attitude is that of open
defiance of the laws of body to which
he seeks admission. There never has
been before case like it. Why should
we admit him? There is every prece
dent against his admission. There il
no precedent whatever in favor of it.
