The Secret Is Out At Last.

To say that secrets can't be kept is
not believed by some people any
more. Last September Peter Smith,
one of the hustling young business
men came to Great Bend and procured
a marriage license for himself and
Gertrude Kelly, one of Ellinwood's
most popular young ladies. The
Probate Judge was requested to keep
the matter quiet. the young people
went to Hutchinson fair week and
were quietly married at the home of
the brides sister. That was Sept.
10th. The secret has been guarded
ever since, until at the Johuson-Lash
wedding in Ellinwood Tuesday even
ing, when the marriage was an
need. To say that the guests were
surprised would hardly express it. We
wish the young people all kinds of
happiness and prosperity and con-
graduate them.

in the gossip of the port as bad
men," but as for any possibility of
Furnishing these captains under the
law for manning or numbering or
starving their crews, the thing is not
&c be thought of.
This lack Of proper legislation IS,
according to the testimony Of the men
who have recorded their experience,
the reason why there Is not a better
class of men in the merchant trade.
Knowing that they are to be treated
Ike dogs if the captain chooses, GOOD
men choose some other way of making
a living; reduced to the necessity of
arguing with human brutes who
understand nothing but force, the
captains are necessarily brutal and
tyrannous. 1t is not desirable that
the conditions of piracy should be re-
produced on auy American ship, but
it looks as if the only difference be-
tween the buecaneer of fiction and a
certain type of American sea captain
is that the latter does not rob the pub
he on the high seas.
There Is no real need of such a sys-
tenn. 1t has been proved over and
over again IN the worlds economic
system that men do better work IS
men than as were wolves. and that ii
pays 10 work on wholesome or plain
food rather than on scant allow
anee Of rotten meat and badly cooked
fodder. No sailors were ever more eff
fective than the better class of Amer
leans employed in the whaling indus
Try early in the nineteenth century !;
and they were not slaves under a ty-
rant, but often shareholders IN the
ship. The brutality of the present IS,
OF course, a survival Of brutality in
lie past, but il seems as if it might be
just as well to investigate the condi-
tions under which American sailors
work, and see if better protection of
their interests woald not improve tie
service, to the interests of all con
celned.

When Doctors Disagree.
A Difference Of Opinion Between Two

Distinguished Democrats.
Mr. Hearst tells the New York
Herald" that he has been in favor of
an isthmian canal for twenty years.
BE has always thought, he says. that
OF the different routes proposed, the
Nicaragua route was the best: yet. III
asmuch as ''the party in power has de
termined to build no canal but the
Panama canal, it would not become
the Democratic party to block what
may be for the present the only oh
tainable solution of the canal prob

When doctors disagree, vino shall
decide? As between DIR. German and
Dr. Hearst, what are the leaders OF
the party to do when they assemble IN
solemn eonelave on the banks of the
Mississippi on July next7 It's a
pretty mess into which the Maryland
boss has led his friends. Not only has
he been unable to rally to his support
his associates IN the Senate, but
throughout the South State Legisla-
lures and commercial bodies vita
more or less influence have been pass
ing resolutions indorsing the attitude
OF a Republican Administration. And
nov, on top of it all, comes a rival for
the Presidential nomination and de-
elares in SO many words Mr. Germans
views to be mostly fudge. Under the
circumstances we cannot help with
holding our sympathy from Mr. Cor
man. His Presidential boom seems to
have struck a serious snag, the more
serious as it indicates with practical
certainty a coalition Of the Hearst and
Bryan wings Of the party for the pur-
pose Of dominating the convention

Mr.. German has a well deserved
reputation for political sllrewdness.
IN this instance, however, he didn't
display much of it. Indeed, we can
Lot recall off-hand a more fragrant

Mr. Germans caliber within the last
twenty-five years, involving as this
blunder Of his does an utter misunder-
standing concerning the state Of public
opinion IN so important a question as

besides, he has-in a political sense
