WHAT next! The Kiowa News has
tumbled into the lao of the Cy Leland
push and is lauding the distinguished
boss to ethereal heights, denouncing Joe
hudson and the other boss-busters to
finale. Is the editor of the News try
ing to worm himself into the good
graces of the big Four" and will he
be whooDing it up for his bosom friend,
Ill. T.. Glenn, iu due season? 1t looks
that wayto an individual. up a tree
But one thing certain. Even though
Oscar crawl on his belly and pay all
kinds Accomplishments to the fxers, he
will never be taken back into their con-
hdence. He has refusedto follow the
party lash in times past and even
though he repent in sackcloth and
ashes there will be no atonement so far
as the Medicine Lodge push is concern
ed; and without their consent he can
not hope to become a factor in state
politics. Unless our friend continues
his former policy of denouncing trick
cry and corruption existing within his
own party, his political usefulness is
ended aud his political soul damned
and forgotten.

There have been all kinds of
reports during the week rela-
tive to a settlement of the
Seventh district middle, but
all of them lack confirmation.
The first report was given Cir
culation on Thursday, pur-
porting that |. P. Campbell
and the congressional Popu-
list committee at Larned last
week made a proposition to
Duval that Campbell would
withdraw from the ticket
provided that he (DuvaD
would consent to Campbelrs
controlling half of the feder-
al patronage of the district in
the event of Bryan's election,
and that Mr.. Duval should
pledge himself to secure Mr..
Campbell an equally lucrative
position at the hands of the
federal administration if Bry-
an is successful. Another re-
port says that Campbell of
ers to withdraw provided the
democrats will concede all
the legislative Offices in the
district to the Populists,
while another report says
thatCampbell refuses to with
draw under any condition but
that Duval agrees to with
draw It he can be assured of a
good place under the state
administration if the Populist
ticket is successful. The lat
est from Mr.. Campbell is that
the Larned- story is false.
The other reports have Meth
er been confirmed nor denied.
However, we believe there
will be only one candidate in
opposition to Long on cleo
ton day.

The Topeka Capital rea-
sons that because the Peoples
party hasn't as many voters as
either the republican or dem
ocratic party, its principles
are not worthy of considera-
ton. It is fortunate that the
Capital was not a potent fac
tor at the time of the
birth of this nation or at the
time the colonists cut loose
from King George. 1t re.
quires time to educate the
people up to a true standard
of political reform.

THE STANDARD TRUST or ALL
TRUSTS.

Whether the Standard Oil Trusts
claim is true or not, that it is furnish
ing its oleaginous product cheaper
than it could possibly be under ordin-
airy competition, that gigantic combine
should be disintegrated. 1t is evident
that it is robbing the landowner, the
railroads or the consumer. or all three.
The profits and dividends are out of all
proportion. The year is still young,
but the Standard Oil company has al
ready declared dividends of 20 per cent
and 10 per cent. The sum divided is
about 100000 The indications are
that before the end of the year the
stockholders of this corporation will re
ceive not less than 100000, 900. In
view of the fact that the products sold
by this great trust are mainly bought
by the poor and by people of very mod
est means, who do not feel able to light
their houses by gas Or electricity, 1t is
inevitable that such prodigIous profits
divided among the stockholders of a
corporation chiefly owned by a few
very rich men, should excite wide
spread bitterness and resentment
There is future trouble for all the great
trusts in the Standard Oil dividends of
the present year.-Wiehita Eagle.
1t is very seldom that a republican
paper states facts when dealing with
the trust problem, and this one from
the Wichita Eagle struck us as
worth producing SO that our republican
friends may see that what the. Popu-
lists have been saying for many years
relative to the rapacity of these lnsti-
tutions of combined wealth has not
been OverdraWn.
The Eagle is right in stating fact.
Now let it 1t get right iii proposing a
remedy and 1t will be the means of
doing more good III the world than the
mere feat of drawing large salary for
holding down the postoffice in Wichita.

ADJUSTERS HAVE BEGUN THEIR WORK Adjusting the Losses By the Re-
 cent Big Fire. HOPE TO FINISH TOMORROW Nothing Can Be Done Until They Re- port-Rumors Are Rife But Are
 Unreliable-Talk of a Ho-
 tel Syndicate
HOPE TO FINISH TOMORROW

The representatives of the various fire | justers, began yesterday the task of ad- | justing the losses by the recent great fire | which destroyed the Metropolitan hotel and the Hewlett block, in Twentieth street and First avenue. Amongst the we'll known insurance men engaged in the big task are Ben H. Abrams of Atlanta and Captain L. Y. Dean of Eufaula. MT. Abrams said that they hoped to complete their work by Sat
 urday night. He could give estimate as to the total losses of the insurance com panies
 Colonel Handey principal owner of the Metropolitan lhotel property, said that he could take steps as to rebuilding or otherwise dealing with his property until after the adjusters had completed their work. He was afraid that his loss over and above the insurance would approximate $30, 900. Within the past three months he had spent upwards of $10000 in internal Improvements of the hotel.It is said that the rent paid by the hotel company was 1000 month, That is, of course, stopped, and must be considered amongst the losses.
 There is story that Colonel Handley de- clined to consider offer of 900 for the property as it stands. No seems to know, not even those directly interested
 just what will be done with the Hewlett corner, which is 100x1O0 feet in dimension. There are various rumors, but they are not worth repetition at this time. There is story about syndicate acquiring the entire property from Morris avenue to First for the purpose of building a great hotel; but 1t is held that it would cost $225,- 900, and that with the cost of the hotel would represent an expenditure of s500,- OOO calling for rental of probably $4O,- 900 a year. It is believed that there will be some developments in the direction of d great hotel within the next week.

ELOQUENT SERMON
Preachedb by Dr. Robertson at th @ Central
 Presbyterian Church

The nipping cold weather of last night did not prevent a good-sized congregation from attending the services at the Central Pres- byterian church. Dr. George F. Robertson took for his text Second Corinthians, 5:14: For the love of Christ constraineth us."
 The discourse was opened with a beauti- full illustration of the power of love, the speaker showing in a striking manner how every individual is true to his love, whether that love brought him down into the depth of degredation or lifted him up into a full and perfect Christian life
 The test of the constraining power of the love of Christ could be applied by every church member. said the speaker. simply by comparing the things which were given to satisfy the sinful selfish, nature with those given to the cause of God. If the things given to the world outweighed those given to God the constraining power of the love of worldly things was greater than the constraining power of the love of Christ.
 The discourse throughout was masterful and eloquent to a degree.
 There will be services at the church, con- ducted by Dr. Robertson, at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon and at 7:45 o'clock tonight.

THEODORE THOMAS
And His Orchestra Will Appear Here
 March IA

The Chicago orchestra, of which Theo- dore Thomas is conductor, will be heard for the first time in Birmingham on Wednesday night, March IA, att the Audi torium. This will be a great event in the musical life of this musical city. Blrming- ham has been visited by many superb bands and two or three fine orchestras, but no organization equal to that led by Thomas has ever appeared here. The three great orchestras of the United States-and they rank with the best in Europe-are the Bos- ton Symphony, directed by Gericke; the New York Philharmonic, directed by Paur, and the Chicago, directed by Thomas. Of these three, Thomas has, perhaps, the finest; although some musicians would say that between Chicago and Boston straws would have to be drawn or lots cast to decide which orchestra should have the supremacy.
 The Chicago orchestra will start south next week, and it's tour will be limited to two weeks.
 The Thomas programme will be made up chiefly of modern romantic music, Dvorak Tchaikowski and Wagner being drawn upon for their most popular works.
 The net proceeds of the concert are to be divided among the charitable institutions of Birmingham; that is to say, that after the expenses are paid, which wiM amount to about $1 ,25O, the balance will go ito char ity. It is believed that Thomas will play to a s2,5O0 house.
