There has been considerable de-
bate as to whether the constitution
follows the flag. No matter how di-
verse and conflicting our opinions may
be on this subject, there is one opin-
ion which we all possess, and that is
that the American schoolhouse follows
the flag. The transports which car
ried our soldiers into the Philippines
also carried our school teachers, until
today there are some 835 American
teachers distributed through $50
towns in the Philippines, and nearly
1000 Filipinos are employed as ele-
mentary teachers.
Technical schools have been estab-
lished in Manila and elsewhere. The

THE ISSUE BRoADENED.

The people of the United States need
be in no doubt as to the responsibility
for the continuance of the anthracite
strike. says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Senator Hanna and Mr.. Sage have
placed the matter beyond discussion.
Il have exhausted my efforts to end
the coal strike" saws Senator Hanna.
IT will make no further attempt, for it
would be useless. I have done all in my
power, and can do no more. The miners
are willing to arbitrate. but the opera
tors are not. The strike will go on
Mr.. Russell Sage says: 'Circum-
stances have placed Mr.. Morgan in his
present place. a position where the pub
lie welfare makes 1t obligatory on him
to settle the coal strike.''
The operators must have a very weak
case if Mr.. Morgan. their chief. dare
not accept the challenge thrown down
by Hanna and Sage. II they do not ac-
cept arbitration it can only be because
they know judgment would go against
them. The conclusion is. that. having
no case, they stand on the right of
might. and propose. insolently. to bully
the whole country into submission.
That seems to be the issue. The ques-
ton between operators and miners is
swallowed up in the larger issue joined
between the operators and the nation.

RAISED A FINE POINT.
How Two Topeka Jointists Escaped >
Trial.


In the preliminary hearing Of Cave.
Curtis, Woods and Clough, charged with
selling liquor to the Indians, which was
held Tuesday before United States Com
missioner Hayden, an interesting COM
vestigated by the United States attor-
ney.
The complaint against these jointists
was made by a Kfckapoo Indian whose
name is Little Simons. That Is all the
name he has. Simons raised the ques-
toin himself which is perplexing the law
yers. He said that he is not govern
ment Indian. but is citizen Indian.
He has taken out his papers and is not
on the agency books. He receives MOTH
ing from the government, and technical
ly has the right to vote and exercise the
privileges of citizenship. If Little
Simons is not a government ward, the
United States courts can not punish
iointist for selling him liquor.
SimOns lives on the reservation. and
his wife is a government ward. He has
never voted. He can not read, write nor
speak English. The question is whether
such admirable qualifications for Indian
hood do not make him a government
ward whether he is a citizen Indian or
mot
The officials claim that even If Little
Simons is citizen Indian, and not a
government ward. he has a right to
appear as complaining witness, but 9th
er Indians must be secured to give the
testimony against the jointists.
The evidence at the hearing was such
that Cave and Curtis were dismissed.
and Woods and Clough, the bartenders,

FusloNIsTs IN FIRST.
Three Congressional Candidates
Before Their Convention.

Riawatha, Kan, Aug. 27.-The Pop
ultst and Democratic congressional con-
ventions for the First congressional dis
trtct are in session here today to NOM
mate an opposition candidate to make
the race against Congressman Curtis.
Although close fusion will be effected
there is practically no chance for the
nominee to win over the big Republican
majority In the First district.
Three men are mentioned for the NOM
ination. They are Major John M. Brown
of Topeka, Walter n. Allen of Meriden,
and John E. Wagner of Linwood. The
chances are in favor OF the nomination
of Wagner, although it is possible that
Brown may be chosen. Brown is a coll
ored man and was at one time a Re-
publican county clerk of Shawnee coun-
ty but he left the Republican party on
the silver issue in 1896. He was ap-
pointed major OF the Twenty third Kan
sas regiment by Governor Leedy and
served with that regiment in Cuba.

A BATTERED BULLs-EYE.

A careful reading of Mr.. T. T. Kelly's
statement makes it plain that he does
not even intend to offer an explanation:
merely to enter a denial.
The bulk of the first portion of the
document is devoted to the whine that
the fight upon him Is made by his po-
ltical enemies. That's strange. In the
latter part Of the statement Mr.. Kelly
tells what good man he has been Since
the time covered by the findings. His
Accountant Stage found missing vouch-
ers. The county commissioners say that
the vouchers were all before them,
complete and unmutilated.
Mr.. Kelly says he entered into a writ
ten agreement to abide by the finding
of the commissioners. He abided by
the findings merely by refunding the
money which the commissioners found
he had taken.
He asserts that he will receive as
large a vote in his own county as that
polled by any other candidate. Yet he
is condemned in his county convention
by the overwhelming vote of 1870 to 20.
In his claim for votes he simply makes
the same assertions he does about his
alleged innocence. without any facts to
support. He is overwhelmingly con-
demned at home where the people are
in position to know his record.
He has been condemned, officially by the
board of commissioners, and politically by
the convention of his party.
Mr.. Kelly's explanation is nothing.
The opposition party has the ammuni-
ton and will certainly not hesitate to use
it in the campaign which will shortly open
in earnest. The shots will center and be
effective upon Kelly They will also scat
ter and do damage to the whole Republi-
can target on which Kelly is the badly
battered bulls eve

A PAYING INVESTMENT.

A million dollars a month Is the esti-
mate made by the bureau of statistics
of the present value of the market
which frozen Alaska offers the pro-
ducers and manufacturers of the
United States.
Commercial Alaska in 1901" is the
title of a monograph juse issued by the
treasury bureau of statistics. In it are
presented some striking figures about
this until recently little explored and
little understood territory of the
United States. By reason of the appli-
cation of modern system of travel and
transportation Alaska is now as Access
sible as Arizona. Three days of travel
by modern ocean steamers from Seattle
among the islands and along the coast
which forms the southeastern extension
of Alaska lands the traveller at Skag-
way; twelve hours by rail over the
mountains. carries him to the head
waters of the Yukon, where comfortable
and well equipped river steamers carry
him to the gold field of central Alaska
or down the Yukon river which is nav
igable for more than 1000 miles at this
season of the year. From the mouth
OF the Yukon another comparatively
short trip by steamer carries him to
the gold fields of Alaska.
Gold. fish and furs are, according TO
this monograph. the principal Industries
of Alaska at the present time, and they
send to the United States Is million
dollars worth of their products-eight
millions of gold, six millions of fish
Chiefly salmon). and the remainder
furs.
The cost of Alaska was 81 200 OO0 The
revenue which the government has de-
rived from it since it's purchase amounts
to over nine million dollars, and the
value of the products are now twice as
much every year as it cost. The total
value of the products of Alaska brought
to the United States since it's purchase
is, according to the best estimates that
the bureau of statistics is able to make,
about $50 millions, of which so millions
is precious metals. so millions products
of the fisheries Chiefly salmon), and so
million more furs Chiefly seal furs).
Probably so million dollars of American
capital are invested in Alaskan indus
tries and business enterprises, includ-
Ing transportation systems.
In the salmon fisheries alone the COM
panies engaged have a capitalization
of % million dollars, and the value OF
their plants, including vessels. is given
at IL million dollars. In the mining
industries there are large investments
