Another Quarter Horse.

AnOtHeT quarter r1oTSS'
The republicans in county conven-
tion at Kansas City have recon-
mended Major Warner for the United
States senate and instructed their
representatives to vote for him. The
Kansas City Star gravely assures US
that this means the retirement Of
Col. Kerens as the party candidate for
that Office. Nothing else was needed.
The assurance OF the Star completes
the evidence that Major Warner, like
Col. Pat Over, is only a quarter horse
He may serve 10 a measure to con-
tribute TO The record OF the favoTite,
but there will be only one vote taken
in the republican caucus at Jefferson
City.
The selection OF Col. Kerens is I'M
ehangably fixed 10 the preoteerminate
counsels Of the party. And his candi-
dacy partakes Of the nature Of a con-
spiracy. He never conceived fol-
himself his plan of campaign, for be
is a common, thick wilted man, a
professional political pie eater who-has
fallen asleep and dreamed, and in
a~pocalyptic vision has seen a senatorial
toga dangling in front Of him. And
Bill Phelps interpreted his dream,
aud Kerens said: 'iwhere can we fine
such a one as this man is Forasmuct
as all this has been showed unto thee,
thou shalt be over my house, and
according TO thy word shall all my
people be ruled" And %slraightway

Shaw On Protection.

Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw in
his Chicago speech on the 22nd says:
1--WE produce three-fourths of the raw
cotton Of the world. To put it on the
protective list would neither yield
revenue nor afford protection. We
get 10 per cent Of the export trade
in raw cotton and only 5 per cent Of
the export trade 10 manufactured
cotton. We get the one because we
grow cotton and the world wants it.
We lose the other because the cheap
labor Of the outside world can manu-
facture it cheaper than we AN. We
both maintain u high wages and
make our people Cotton manufac-
Jurers he means) secure in our own
markets by means OF a protective
tariff. This is precisely what the flee
trader objects to. When the cotton
planter sells his cotton, he sells it at
the Liverpool price; when he buys the
manufactured cotton for his family
and his tenants, he buys 1t at the
Lowell price and makes a forced con-
trlbution to the Lowell manufacturer
and the Lowell wage Garner. 10 Ian
guage very similar to Mr.. Shaw's, II
neither yields a revenue TO the gov
eminent nor affords protection to the
planter. The high wages Mr.. Shaw
speaks Of do not apply 10 the p'anta-
tion tenants, who vote the republican
ticket anyhow Mr.. Shaw belongs &c
that school Of political economists
who believe that a family can be en-
riched by some OF the brothers rob
biug The other brother.; thai wnen a
pickpocket ilches a purse he increases
the wealth OF the community by that
much.

which the president can't say and
that among the cards they have up
their sleeves is free trade for trust
made goods.
The papers all say that President
Roosevelt is indignant at General
Henderson, action Indignant about
what? Indignant because he refuses
to bear alone the odium of holding his
party in congress to its principles,
while the president is limiting at all
sorts Of party heresies for his own per-
sonal popularity? General Henderson's
action has at least served one good
purpose. 1t has forced the presidents
hand. Ia his Cincinnati speech a few
days ago, Mr.. Roosevelt said that he
had not meant a word of it; that he
would never favor touching the sacred

A New Issue for the RepubIicans.

The republicans in Missouri have
had a hard time keeping in campaign
issues. They begun with the forty
four million dollar discrepancy in the
books, and shortly agreed to compro-
mise on eleven millions. Next they
wept over the looted school funds, but
after nominating two hooters as can
didatcs for the supreme court, they
had to give that up. Then they COM
planned Of Governor Dookely's
"ixiug" machine, but Their OVID
Kerens- Meriwether apparatus ran so
hard and made 50 much noise that it
had to he abated as a nuisance. Ard
lastly Gil. Kelcns charges that demo-
cratic rule IN Missouri bias deprecated
land values and kept out investors while
every paper in the state is telling OF
rush OF farmers from Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, who are tramplng
over each other in a mad race to get
Missouri lands.
1t is strange that the republican
have overlooked the one charge whicht
democrats cannot disproye. 1t is a
matter of record. There is no use try
ing to deny it. Little Lonale did lead

A few days ago there was a news
item under striking headliaes going
the rounds Of the metropolitan papers
TO the effect that the emperor OF
Germany received Generals Corbin
asd Young very e%ourteously, but
snubbed General Wood, because the
latter failed to return the call OF a
German admiral on the same day he
returned calls on some other admira's
who had made Official visits to him
simultaneously when he was governor
of Cuba. And now these same papers
are exercised over the announcement
that the car of Russia, when he
returns the visit OF King Victor
Emanuel, Of italy, will not call on
the pope, because tho pope withdrew
his nuncio from the Hague a few
years ago on account OF not being in
vlted TO participate in the Peace Con-
gress If news OF this kind is Of any
interest to American readers further
than as illustrations Of the frivolous
ness Of courts aud court etiquette,
it argues a serious break down in
American character and OF faith 10
fundamental American ideals. In
tsreSt in the WITNESSES OF royalty is
an unnatural and unhealthy interest
for an American. Sympathy with
such stuff casts a suspicious side light
upon our unconscious intentions in
matters Of foreign policy and upon
our unconfessed desire to stake our
place among the world powers 4"

Another Mercer.

Another Merger.
Last week the Phelps-K Meri-
wether holding company effected a
merger Of the republicans and the
public ownership parties at S.. Joseph,
by the terms Of which the public
ownership people get eleven Of the
twenty-oDe offices on the ticket and
the republicans ten. The holding
company was very liberal with the
little public ownership party-very
liberal. In fact it would have given
anything demanded. The holding
company has only n interest, one
hope, one purpose in this campaign.
BY swapping of everything else, by
sacrificing every pretended principle,
by juggling figures, lying, and malign-
ing the state, they hope to help Col.
Bill Phelps to defeat his personal
enemy, Mr.. Stone, in his race for the
Emitted States senate.

Cost of Government.

~ VI SbNNAhAAASAA
Senator Beyeridge opened the re-
publican state campaign in Utah last
week in a lengthly address. He said,
in part:
1.-The total cost Of the war with
Spain was nearly 400 million dollars.
The cost of suppressing instruction
in the Philippines was no million
dollars. The payments for pensions
10 the last five years were nearly 75O
million dollars. The other expenses
Of the government 10 the same period
were more than one billion dollars.
All told, the expenses Of the republic
since March 8, 1897, until now, were
nearly three billion dollars. This out
lay occurred under a republican ad.
ministratlon. Except the expenses OF
our civil war, 1t is the greatest charge
ever sustained, in like period, by any
government, ancient or modern, in
peace or in war.

The Street Paving.

The Street Paving.
Those who, az this late day, are
thinking OF demonstrating against the
street improvement ordiDaoce should
consider the following facts;
The method Of assessing the expense
is the usual Jne followed by towns
and cities.
A large majority Of the property
holders along the line Of the proposed
improvement are favorable to 1t.
An overwhelming majority of the
the citizens of the line are anxious to
see the city start upon a career OF
improvement which win involve them
in a similar expense later on.
The five blocks contemplated are
the ones which ninety-five per cent
of the people would select as the ones
on which beginning should be made.
The block about which there seems
to be the most question has fewer
people 10 ittowhom the expense would
be a hardship than almost any other
one block in the city.
The paving OF this block is neces-
sary to the unity OF the initial i'm
proyement.
On the general proposition Of en-
tering upon a career of public better
ments it may be said that such a
course is necessary to inspire conf
dence in the city's future, to bring
new trade, to retain the old, to en-
courage investors, to attract new bust
ness firms, to promote building, to
strengthen real estate values, to
stimulate private improvements, to
increase civic pride. 1t will add to
the city's beauty, its health, its de-
~sirableness as a place to live. There
has never been a time when the
people were so able to do it or so will
ing to do it, and there may never be
another. There has never been a
county seat which did what we
are proposing to do and ever regret
ted it. If this improvement is made
other sections Of the city will clsmor
to be allowed to do the same thing.
Whenit is done more than the cost to
each will be added to the cash value
of each piece Of property along The
line.
The directors should be listened
to with perfect respect. The right
of a man to do what he wills with his
own should not be overlooked. But
it must be remembered that il public
Improvements had to wait until there
we're no directors, even reasonable
ones, there would not be in the
United States a railroad, a turnpike
road, a county highway, or a public
foot path. If unanlmity were re-
quired, there would not be in the
world a public school, a sewer system,
a waterworks plant, or a court house.
Our cities would be a prey to dark
ness by night, to p~estilence and to fire.
The majority of the property owners
and the council should not act, have
not acted, in any hastY disregard Of
the rights ofthe minority, and 10 the
further progress Of the matter they
should lay aside all considerations of
personal interest and make up their
minds as a moral question what is the
public good and the public will, and
do it.
