GEN. FUNSTON no REsIGN.

General Frederick Funston, hero of
the Philippine war, is reported to
have announced his intention of re-
signing his commission in the army.
The State Journal in lengthy edi-
torial on the matter says in part:
"Now that the fighting is over and
there is little for the members of the
army to do but draw their pay and
keep the dust brushed off their uni
forms, it is not surprising that Gen
eral Funston should talk of surrender
ing his commission. He is not dress
parade soldier. He cares little for
gold lace and epaulettes. and cham
paign suppers in officers quarters are
not so pleasant to him as soldiers fare
cooked in a camp kettle while the
enemy's sharpshooters are near.
General Funston will probably
come home, but he will not stay. He
will not be candidate for governor
or anything else. He will search for
fields in which his boundlesS activity
and courage will have room to assert
themselves, and then he may again be
heard from"

ABOUT THE DRY WEATHER.

! Kansas is the greatest state IN the
union. Whenever it starts out to dc
a thing-the weather or the people
it does the job ''to a fare-you-well. >
1t is doing just that kind of job now
and it is likely. will distance all past
records with rare exceptions. We
simply want to say word to the peo-
pie who have come Sin our midst
during the past year or two, by way
of encouragement. 1t is not necessary
| to say anything of the sort to the old
settlers, as they know all about it.
First Of all we want to remind you
that we have had it in the neck worse
than this beforehand we have lived
through it all right. We are going to
live through this disaster, too. We
may loose all of the corn crop, the hay
may be nearly total failure and feed
will be scarce, but we are yet better
off than we were in '94 and '95. We
have in the state one of the finest
wheat crops we ever had and Cloud
county has its good share of it. The
man who rails against the state be-
cause of this little spell of gloom it
has cast over her people is very fool
iSh. Kansas will brighten up and
come out of the kinks faster and fur
Their than any of the others when the
turn does come. The corn crop was
practically d total failure in '95 and in
'96 the corn cribs were built by the
mile, the ordinary method of reckon
ing their capacity by feet was obso-
lete, to care for the immense crop that
was raised that year. It will come
again-thiS fiood-tide of immense
crops. So will other periods of drouth
come. Both are just as natural as
falling off log. Wise men expect
these periods and prepare for them.
that is one of the reasons why we are
better off this year than we have been

by experience. The long face doesn't
help matters anyway. We might just

philosophical manner and do the very

nerve and gives up the fight in Kansas
is the fellow who will be sorry for the
move. The man who came to this
state in its infancy and stayed through
all the varying moods of winds and
weather. having faith and abiding by
that faith, is the man who is today
the best off in the state. The man
who started to croak against the
state, and started east in covered
wagon, in "grasShopper year" to his
wife's folks, is the same fellow who
is. yet tramping in a covered wagon

for a better place than Kansas. There

and don't abuse her, either-you'l

There is something ineffably pa
thetic in the determination of Gen.
Botha to continue the South African
struggle to the very end. While he
may be able to indefinite prolong the
terrible conflict, nothing short of a
miracle will prevent the ultimate an
inhalation of the two republics and
their reduction to legislative slavery.
Yet, with homes destroyed and fields
laid waste, and loved ones dead, they
probably reason that British hate has
done its worst already.

CHICAGO IS BANKRUPT

Comptroller Mccain of Chicago an
nounceS that the city is bankrupt and
that in order to carry ON the govern
ment with the present income it will
be necessary to cut down the police
force one third, to dispense with
cleaning the streets, to reduce the ex-
penditure for fire protection and in
various other ways to cripple the pub
lie service. Mccain says that he can
see no way to escape the middle IN
der the present conditions. The may
or has left town after giving it out
that he could not see daylight and
would not try to run the city with the
means at his command.
Chicago is crippled because the tax
dodgers have got control of the tax
assessing powers and the board of re-
view. 1t appears that hundreds of
millions, literally, of property in fran
.chises has been permitted to escape
taxation by the connivance of the ass
essors and not enough money can be
raised for the needs of the city upon
the rate of taxation fixed. The assess
ing powers have simply refused to
carry out the plans of the city officials
and the men of wealth and corpora
tionS of influence have been entered
on the tag schedules at the old and

Badd Eggs.

John Stewart, dealer in butter, eggs
and poultry, Concordia, Kans., in a
letter to Geo. Dawes of this place,
says the Logan Republican, has the
following to say about the quality of
eggs handled by shippers at the pre-
sent time.
81 find that even subject to candl-
ing the eggs we have handled in the
last three or four days have lost me
on an average over zoe per case, even
at the low prices have paid for them.
This is not all; but we viii be compel
led to make you price on irstS and
seconds, and can quote you &c here for
firstS, sc here for seconds, zoe each
for your cases where you send them
cases included. I know how you feel
about eggs, butt wish you could see
some of the eggs handled: you would
then realize what shipper has to
contend with. If 1 were running
store and buying eggs from the farm
er I would buy them subject to eandI-
ing. If this plan were universally
adopted, the farmers would make an
effort to bring nothing but fresh eggs
to town to trade for goods or sell for
cash. AS long as they can sell any
thing with shell on it for an egg SO
long will they continue to do SO. Our
gamblers are finding at present almost
as many 1--we chickens in the case they
crndle as there are good eggs. In one
young chickens, some Matched, the
rest have Matched since. In another
case six, in another case four, and in
nearly every case we are finding live
chickens. Anyone doubling the truth
of this statement can easily become
convsnced by paying visit to our
place; we will show you the chickens
and let you watch the Gamblers at
work.

Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan announces
that there will be no compromise with
the employees of the steel trust. which
means that the union must be DESTROY
ed. The trust insists that the mills
which employed non-union labor prior
to the consolidation shall continue tn
employ it. The union strikers
claim that in working on that basis
the trust is inclined to throw the
business to the non-union plants as
far as possible. No matter how the
question involved may be disguised
the trust has brought upon the coun-
try all the evils of this great strike by
adhering Stubbornly to plan which
means the destruction of the union.
The union is fighting for it's life. The
paralysis of the iron business, the suf..
fering which will come to hundreds of
thousands of innocent women and
children. the shaking of business CON
fidence and the manifold other evils
which may grow out of the strike, are
at the door of the group of multi-mil-
lionaires headed by Mr.. Morgan who
are minded to ruin labor union and
who, in the arrogance of their riches
say there shall be no compromise.

JUDGE GETdER THE TAN.

Now that the supreme court has
held the infamous biennial election
law constitutional and has practically
allowed the legislature to legiSlate a
number of populist judges out of office
with no immediate chance for re-elec-
tion, among whom is Hon. A. G. Z.
Geiger of the Seventeenth Judicial
district, man who has given univer-
sal satisfaction as judge and whose
election this fall was conceded even
by the most radical republicans, it
now leaves this estimable gentleman
free to enter district politics.
Next fall we will be again called
upon to elect congressman for the
Sixth district, and it behOyes us to
send man to Washington who will
be a credit to US, and the HERALD be-
believes that in Judge Geiger we have
a gentleman who is worthy and COM
petent to fill that high Office with
credit to himself and the district, as
we'll as to the people of Kansas at
large: a man for whose acts and
speeches on the floors of congress we
will have no cause to blush, and a
man whose sterling honor and integ-
rfty has not and never can be CUES
toned.
We are confident that if he should
consent to go into the fight that he
will have the united support of the
entire Seventeenth district and that
if nominated will poll vote far ahead
of his party leaders.
