KANSAS Is IN LINE.

The democratic state convention of
Kansas, recently held, came out with u
ringing Endorsement of the platforms
of 1896 and 1900 and demanded the
nomination Of candidates in sympathy
with those platforms. Good for Kan.
sas! The reorganiZers can find no
comfort in that state. An Endorsement
OF the Kansas City platform would
have been sufficient, for that platform
contains an Endorsement of the Chicago
platform, but the Kansas convention
Endorsed both. In its courageous main
tenance OF democratic principles the
Kansas convention has set an example
that other states may we'll follow. If
the same spirit pervades the st. Louis
convention we shall have an aggressive
campaign in which the republican party
will be upon the defensive all along
the line.
While Mr.. Bryan appreciates the
complimentary reference made to him
by the Kansas convention, he does not
desire to have the harmony of any
democratic convention disturbed by a
resolution commendatory to him. He
is not candidate for anything, and it
matters little what any convention
thinks of him, but it does matter
q great deal what convention thinks
OF democratic principles, -Bryan's
Commoner.

JUDGE D, M. DALE of Wichita is
daily receiving letters from men
of all political parties throughout
the state urging him to yield to the
demands of his party and become
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor. He has not yet come to
decision in the matter, but the fact
that he has not given a negative
expression gives the rankand file of
the party hope. Judge Dale is
without question the strongest
man the party could nominate, not
even excepting ex-senator Harris.
And, if nominated, he has a very
favorable prospect for an election.
He would make the kind of a
governor Kansas needs.

APRoPos "Boss" Ross Stubs ,
frantic efforts to get away from the
senatorial appointment which it
has been limited he would like to
have forced upon him when Sena-
tor Burton retires, the Kansas City
Times remarks editorially:
"The way Ross Stubs is acting
about the senatorship in Kansas
recalls a story about a calf that is
told by an editor in that state:
They had to pull the calls ears
Oft, he said, TO get it up to the
milk pail, and then they had to
pull its tail out to get it away "

ADMITS THAT HEARST DESERVES CREDIT.

The Topeka Capital gives
Hearst credit for instituting a
fight on the coal trust which never
would have been brought but for
Hearst. The decision of the SUI
preme court sustaining the right of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to compel the production of
contracts between the offending
parties to the trusts is something
new in the way of revealing the
powers of the commission. No
president or attorney general has
had the grit to go after the big
trusts with the courts and make
the law show its teeth, till w. r.
Hearst took it up. In this respect
Hearst has shown fighting qualities
much needed in the peoples con
flict with the trusts. Everybody
outside the coal trust knows that
it ought to be smashed, but it
seems that Hearst is the first man
to resolve that it should be smash
ed and then back up his resolution
by action. 'Words are good when
backed up by Deeds"

MAJOR A. M. HARVEY, Lieutenant
governor under the Leedy admins
tratlon, was nominated by the
Democrats of the first congressional
district. Harvey is a populist and
was nominated by the Democrats
by reclamation. He will have
Chas. Curtis to fight. The district
is strongly republican but on ac-
count of the bitter fight which is
going On in the republican ranks,
Harvey has a small chance to win.

IT would require a very wise
man to figure out a great deal of
difference between the republican
and Democratic principles in York
state. The Democratic platform
adopted there last week is a disap-
Pointment even to it's trainers. The
Democrats of that state ought to
catch the spirit of western de
mocracy and they would then
have something solid to stand on.

THE fight between Hill and
Tammany in New York would be a
serious handicap for Judge Parker
should he be nominated for presi-
dent. Hill is Parker's mouthpiece
and he is very unpopular every
where. If the New York Demo
Gratis think Hearst is too radical
for them, they should unite on
Mcclellan who is not obnoxious to
either faction.

The Roosevelt enthusiasm which
seemed to be running wild about a
year ago has subsidized wonderfully
during the past three or four
months. While his partisans were
parading the president before the
American people as an unprecedent-
ed trust smasher, the trusts were
behind the curtain fleeing the pro-
ducerS and the consumers in a
way that was truly wonderful.
The increased prices the consumers
are paying for the things they buy
and the decreased prices which the
producers are receiving for what
they sell has served as an eye open
er to many people whose intelli-
gence knot is greater than their
partisan ignorance department and
they are beginning to see the pres
1dent through the same glasses that
the Rockefellers and the Morgans
and the Belmonts and the Came
gies and their sympathizers see him.
Politicians can play to the popular
galleries and pretend to represent
antagonistic elements for a season
but their sins of omission and com
mission will eventually find them
out. If the Democratic party is
wise enough and brave enough
to nominate a known enemy of
trusts and organized wealth, at St.
Louis July 9th, the days of Roose-
veltism will be numbered.

CHAPTER |

Paris, in the year 1880, and tie gar
den of the Tuileries bright with the
sunshine of an autumnal day Two
boys. seated in the grass near path
not far from one of the ponds, were
playing with turtle they had cap
tured.
The humble origin of the elder. a
lad of thirteen, was evidenced by
those physical signs which are usu-
ally associated with people of his
class: but the other, three years
younger, bore all the indications OF
gentle birth. His sire was a baron of
the ''ancien regime" while Pierre's
father had been a peasant, and his
widowed mother the faithful nurse of
her who had lived but two months
after giving birth to the boy Jean,
whom Margot loved as her own

Presently there came along the
promenade trio of court gallants.

ing fashion. beruffled, bejeweled, and
perfumed. One Of them was slen-
derly built young man, whose sharp
features, pale-blue eyes set closely to-
gether, thin lips. and weak chin, gave
ample. proof of his nature and dispo-
sition.
A more striking contrast to the
younger boy could not well be imag-
ined. Yet the same blood ran in
their veins, for the newcomer was
Etienne, Jeans half-brother, who had,
for some time past, been occupying
an unimportant position at court.
He espied the two boys before they
noticed him, SO engrossed were they
In heading-off the turtle, whose in
stinct seemed to tell it how to find a
way to the nearby pond.
The three courtiers paused in the
pathway; and Etienne, stepping
quickly over the grass, gave the tur-
tie a well-directed kick that sent it
splashing into the water.
He and his friends then laughed
boisterously, while Jean and Pierre
sprang to their feet, the formers eyes

blazing angrily as they met those of
his halfbrother.
'Sneaking spoil-sport! How dared
you" cried the boy.
"Dared!' repeated Etienne jeering-
ly, while his companions again
laughed uproariously. "Mais, you i'm
pudent young cub, think it were
well to cool your temper by sending
YOU after your turtle" With this he
seized Jean by the collar, as If to
throw him into the pond.
The lad, mute with passion, struck
out fiercely with his fists, until
Etienne, his rage making him forget
his dandyism and fine raiment,
grasped more firmly the jeweled cane
he carried, and began to rain blows
upon the head and shoulders not so
very far below his own not great
height, while he held fast to Jeans
collar with grip whose firmness was
out of keeping with his frail and puny
build.
A clear. icy-toned voice suddenly
cut the air like flash of steel.
"Pardon, monsieur; but would you
not like assistance?'
II was the sous-lieutenant, whose
look had affected Jean SO oddly a
short time before.
Il have been an unintentional spec
ntor of your unmanly conduct, mon
sieur," continued the young officer, in
the same low, even tone. as he calmly
faced Etienne; "and what have

gentleman you have SO needlessly

The Stuart island Ouarries

The Seattle Stone Company has
purchased quite tract of stone land on
Stuart island from Bernard Mordhorst
and intends putting men at work
to develop the quarry.
The deal was concluded here Monday,
the company being represented by J. f.
Riley, manager. formerly an Omaha
and John Pierce, whose
father is president of the company.
The stone is said to be of excellent
quality for paving b locks and curbing.
According to the report of the state ge-
ologlst "The sandstones on this island
have been quarried at three different
places around Reeds Harbor. Two
openings have been made on the uorth
side of the harbor and considerable
stone quarried, while single small
opening has been made on the south
side. The stone varies very much in
texture ranging from a fine grained
sandstone up to conglomerate in
which the pebbles are as much as four
inches in diameter. The color is dark
