WTOi gai 31. St. TlVnUOCK. Editor. Pop Leedy's Estimate of Them. Governor Leedy, rather ihan' that the Kansas quota" for the Spanish -war should be filled by the Republican vmlll toxy organizations then extant, disbanded them all with an executive order, -whereupon he proceeded to recruit new companies and regiments. Upon the heels of the fact that these new organizations "were officered by men of lieedy's own political selection. It is pretty certain that most of the Twentieth -will come back from the Philippines staunch supporters of the national administration. An eastern paper, commenting upon the return of the Twentieth Kan sas, notv celebrated for its dash and bravery, says they left their native state almost in disgrace. The regiment, which -was then -without uniforms, was composed almoBt wholly of fanner boys, selected by the recruiting physi cians because of their physical strength and build. It 1b a regiment of young giants. After being mustered in the regiment was marched past the state house for review. As the farmer soldiers marched along the street they were the subject of Jest. As they were marching by the State house the recruiting- physician said to Governor Leedy: "There is a regiment of fighters. They are built like giants. They will do honor to the state if they ever get a chance." "They may be all right physically," Governor Leedy re marked with a shrug of his shoulders, "but their personal 4 appearance is against them." The Hard Lot of the Editor. The National Editorial association resolved, among other things .that the lot of the editor is a hard one. It is. It is hard to kick against the pricks. This an editor is compelled to do constantly. It is hard to stand by the minority, knowing it to be In the right, because It Is an Im politic thing to do. It is hard to kick against the majority, with that majority clearly In the wrong. This is also always a dangerous proceeding. It Is hard to be dominated by political rings, but harder to bust such rings. Having worked for -the political elevation of a fellow citizen, it is hard to have him take advantage of his elevation to kick you, and hard Is the reflection that the higher the boost the harder the kick. It is hard to say of Tim Smith, de ceased, that he was the noblest Roman of them all, and to besmear his bier with sentiment, but with his son your big gest patron harder to announce that he was a skunk and well rid of. It Is hard to have your best things credited to some one else while being charged with the blunders of others. It is hard to be politically compelled to laud the Honorable Thomas Jefferson Jones as one whose nomina tion came to him unsought, and thus all the more deserved ly, when you have reasons for believing he won his prefer ment by bribery, and that he is a natural born all around whelp. It is hard to have a friend whose ambitions you have fostered for years, clasp hands with your rival the moment he flnd3 himself superior to your allegiance. It Is hard after having devoted a life -to the upbuilding of a com munity, to be forgotten and neglected when old age comes on; hard, after years of faithful adhesion to a political party to have It spit upon you for expressing an honest con viction which happens not to accord with some subsidy plank of a narrow platform; hard to be distrusted by the leaders of a cause you have most faithfully and longest seivejJ only because you have advocated that which you conceived -the better way. It Is hard to have a governor, whom you plotted to nominate and helped to elect, set down on your town and refuse to pardon a near and dear friend out of the penitentiary. But harder than all Is It, after all, for any one, or for all combined, to choke down or crowd out an editor who has the courage of his convictions. Oom Paul Kruger Weakens. The latest news from the Transvaal indicates that the irovernment of the South African republic will consent to the demands of Great Britain. This seems at this distance too bad, but it is probably the wisest thing to do. The Ult landers, made up of Englishmen and Americans, are deter mined to be treated fairly even though they are not wanted by the Boers. The Transvaal government may be aware of the fact that the British are too strong for the Boers and would Inevitably wear the latter down in a war of any length. If the president of the Transvaal is aware of this fact and has acted in accordance with the advice of tho government of Holland, he Is showing great good sense. No matter how much stronger the Boers may be than another nation of their size, they are not big enough to engage in a war with the most powerful people on the face of the globe. The British have learned how to attack, overwhelm and de stroy small peoples In the least possible time, and no doubt would use -their knowledge to good advantage In a contest with the sturdy South Africans. There is a limit beyond which Kruger and his burghers certainly will not go without a desperate light. Meanwhile "Oom Paul" cannot be blamed for doing more than he used to admit that he would to pacify the alien element in his country. The bravest and most seir-rellant man, at the head of a nation of perhaps 100,000 loyal citizens of a new and isolated country, might well be excused for dreading a war with the largest, richest, most populous and most famous empire that the world has ever seen. President Kruger knows that his fellow Boers can beat twice their number of any British troops that may be sent against them, fighting, as they would, on their own ground and in their own way. He also knows that It Is possible for Eng land to levy armies big enough to outnumber his citizen soldiers ten to one. That is the peril of the situation in which the Transvaal Is placed. Dewey Will Arrive Before October. Sampson's suggestion to President McKlnley that he meet Dewey with his (Sampson's) own squadron off the Azores, seems likely to be adopted. Admiral Dewey will arrive in New York much earlier than was first expected. "When he first started from Manila it was expected that he would travel by slow stages and arrive on this side of the Atlantic about October 1. He iill be In Port Said not later than July 15, and probably much earlier. His only stops in the Mediterranean will be Malta, Algiers, Alexan dria and Gibraltar. He may not visit all of these ports. His principal stop will be at Malta. Navy officers think that the admiral will not consume more than six weeks in the Mediterranean. This would bring him into the Atlantic ocean September'l,and his'4ripacross willnot require a month, for It is now said at the navy department that he Trill come direct from Gibraltar to New York; making no stops on the European coast Making most liberal allow ance, the Olympla ought to arrive from two to four we'eks1 earlier than the day first named when Admiral Dewey be gan his leisurely voyage home. Why 5trikes In Good 'Republican Times. It is a fact of universal observation that great labor strikes occur more numerously In good times under Repub lican administrations than in the hard times of Democratic sway, and the question Is often asked as to the why of this. The fact is that strikes are one of the sufest signs of improving times. Labor is ever the first to feel the brunt of hard times, and it is the last always to realize the benefit of good times. Iaboring men being wide awake and as sertive of their rights, they will not wait contentedly for higher wages to come by painfully tedious processes of evolution, so they -use the most effective weapon to win their share of the better times; hence the strike. When times are hard strikes would prove not only futile but de structive of the interests of labor. The Reformation of Women Inebriates. A5 interesting work conducted by Lady Henry Somerset is an industrial farm colony at Duxhurst, where women are treated for Intemperance. The patients are considered physically defective and for most of them there Is outdoor work and gardening. They work on !the lawns, in the flower gardens, in the green houses, and raise the early vegetables for ttie markets as well as all the vegetables for their own use. The colony is housed in pretty, cheerful little cot tages where the women have a home life and take great pride in their housekeeping. They are much interested In their outdoor .work and the beneficial effects are remark able. Gardening Is taken up by women as a profession more in England than in America, and a "lady gardener" is in charge of the gardening at the colony. The cause given for their Intemperance by the greater number of the women is depressing and nervous work. Over 50 per cent of the in mates during the last year are reported to be doing well and on the road 'to complete recovery. For those who can not do the outdoor work there are, looms for weaving, knit ting machines, and all kinds,of hand sewing are done; The Great Yacht Race AH the Talk. The sporting fraternity of England and America, along with about everybody else on both sides of the water, are getting worked up gradually over the great yacht race which Is to come off between the Columbia, Just launched, and the Shamrock, now nearly ready for her trip across the Atlantic It will be the greatest and fastest race ever sailed for the cup so long held by the Yankees. If Uncle Sam's good wishes are worth anything, the Columbia will sail past the Shamrock like an Impoverished young man towing his best girl past an Ice cream parlor. In granting the Columbia American registry the government has as signed her the signal letters "K. P. D. V.," which means "Keep Prize, God Willing." Judging from the way the Co lumbia is showing her heels to all the. crack yachts In the east, there Is little likelihood of Sir Thomas Upton carry ing the cup back with him, but if he should, Americans will forgive him on account of his sportsmanlike conduct. Instead of bickering and casting insinuations, as Lord Dun raven did when he raced the "Valkyrie IIL against the De fender, Llpton is all bon homle. Chicago Drops Telephone Girls. Chicago Is going to try the patent switchboard scheme that has been in successful operation In the telephone ex changes of smaller cities for several months. The Illinois Telephone and Telegraph company has acquired the right to operate the system in Chicago for thirty years. The new service will do away with telephone girls. Be side each telephone wiH be a board containing press buttons, each bearing a numeral. If the subscriber TVishes to be con nected with. No. 682 he presses 6-8-2 lnjthe order named and the connection is automatically made?at the central office. Another advantage asserted for the syglem is its absolute secrecy, there being no "hello girls" to hear the conversa tions, and there is necessarily no one to repeat them. Mur der plots and all sort of villainy can be arranged between the subscribers and no one will be any the wiser. The Natives of Luzon Want Peace. President Schurman says the masses of the people are anxiously awaiting the end of the war, and are ready and willing to submit to American rule as soon as they can do so safely. The majority of these people, he says, are neutral; they do not want to fight, and if they were not afraid of the Tagalos; who are In possession of many of the cities and villages, they would come out in favor of the Americans. Professor Schurman say3 he received personal assurances from 'the Sultan of Sulu of his desire to have peaceable relations with the Americans, and he was also treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration by the leading men of the island of Negros, -where he was ten dered banquets and shown other evidences of good will.

The Americans at The Hague are striving to protect commerce during -nar. What right has any commerce to ask to be considered above the Individual or the nation dur ing belligerency, when all who have enjoyed the benefits of a nationality are wont to suffer Its penalty? Isn't the United States of America going money-mad?

America, which always was a trifle dull on European politics, is now trying to get head and tail to thac quarrel between Anna Gould's husband and the Prince of Monaco. Somebody should take a club and kill the European cor respondents who seem to think It beneath them to explain anything. Copper has so advanced in price that China's copper coins are worth more as Junk than as currency. There Is a great financial lesson in this, but you should let Bryan, or Gage, or somebody who has the time, study It out. Thomas A. Edison Is disgusted with his boy because he married an actress. The most luxuriant vegetation in -this country Is family pride. Forty years ago Edison himself was a peanut boy on a slow train out of Detroit. The Christian Endeavor has Invaded Russia. It will last until the Czar's chief of police awakes some morning with an acute attack of dyspepsia, and then a lot of En deavorers will take the next train to Siberia. Dewey and Dledrichs are now demonstrating to the world that there never was a quarrel between them. This is diplomacy which gets itself behind one thickness of mos quito netting and thinks itself concealed. Cesare Lombroso says that Columbus was a degenerate. After a close study of his character he calls Columbus a paranoelc It is strange that after all these years the great discoverer should himself be discovered. Dreyfus has been silent and in prison so long that when he was first permitted to speak he fashioned his words with difficulty. When the truth Is known, Dreyfus' sanity will appear a miracle. Corsets have gone out of fashion In Paris. Fashion is largely a fool, and It was only a matter of time until it discovered that the corset concealed the natural lines of beauty. There is a general belief in this world 'that It Is the other fellow who finds a hammock comfortable. In due tlmejrobably the Insurance Trust will, get Fourth of July prohibited. e The 'reformers who met at Buffalo last week endorsed the T"en- Coaamandments. Edgar Saltus calls a young agnostic a Jmaa with an acquired Ignorance. Substitution, KatthetEIoer, editor of the Inner Cir cle, had gtncut for half an hour to aychronlaa"Jtlsjwatch, and his assistant, J. GrahajifcS Ctottapnles, reigned tempora rily in hls&eaa. On every occasion when Elder was absent, whether he had gone out to setrils hair cut (at the restaurant opposite), or had taken a week off be cause he felt far from, well, J. Graham Champniea reigned in bis stead, endowed with plenary powers. He was ambitious, and intelligent, and hard working, and trustworthy; Matthew lElder.. brilliant and lazy, had long since recognized that. Elder thought of things to do-Champmea did them. A clerk Just laid on Champnles' desk the form which a visitor had filled up: 3CAMSL Miss Cynthia Page. TO SEE. The Editor. BUSINESS. Private. DATEv 3-5-994 "Well, I'll see her," said Champnles. He had seen the name Cynthia Page, in good magazines, appended to curious and interesting stories. He was not ill-pleased, when the clerk showed her in, to find that she had youth and beauty on pale and mystical line. Her long, raised lashes and the lingering glance of her gray eyes seemed to say, "You do interest me." J. Graham Champ nles found himself hoping that Matthew Elder, after synchronizing his watch, would find it necessary to go and see a man about a dog, or at any rate, would delay his return. In the meanwhile he was anxious to know what he could do for Miss Page. "I am speaking to the editor?" said (Miss Page, a little doubtfully. "The actual editor, Mr. Eider, Is not In at present, but I have full powers to act for him." "I see." She was still in doubt. "Pray be assured of It. I can make contracts with you, accept storle3 from you. sign checks for you, so If you have anything ti) propose" "O, It's not that! in fact, I came In con sequence of a proposition which he had already made to me." "Well, I shall be very glad to carry on anything that he has begun. As a rule he mentions these things to me, but this time I am in the dark." She smiled mysteriously. "But you can't be sure that you would wish to cary on what he has begun." "As Mr. Elder is the supreme authority here, I should have no choice. But even If I had. what you suggest is extremely unlikely." "Why unlikely? No two men can have minds exactly alike. It's a funny arrange ment you have here." It works well enough In practice. We both know the character of our paper and what our public wants. I say that IV Is unlikely that I should be unwilling to carry on whatever Mr. Elder has begun for this reason, and also because I know and admire your work. "O. do you think it's any good?" "Of course I do." "Speaking frankly?" "Speaking frankly, it's full enough of faults, some of It seems to have run away with you and got all over the place. But It's horribly interesting all the same. You see. It's original." "O yes," she assented, "I am original. If I were not, I shouldn't be here." "That sounds cryptic," he said. "Pos sibly I shall Understand it when I know the nature of Mr. Elder's proposal. He wants some stories from you?" MXo, no." "Then, what Is It?" "DO you know that I'm afraid I can't tell you?" "Very well, then; there's nothing more to be said. tMr.. Elder Is out at present. You'd better call again. I suppose you think! It woulo make some difference whether Mr. Elder went' 'on with this business, or I did?" "I'm sure it would the greatest differ ence." "You think I shouldn't do as well?" "Not as welU You'd do better. Infi nitely better. O, I must go." she blush ed, rose, good-byed, and faded out of the office. Ten minutes later, Mr. Matthew Elder, middle-aged, bald, and cheerful, saunter ed into tho room with his hands In his pockets. "Well. Bill! Everything all right?" Mr. Elder had not found in the assort ment of names provided for Champnles hv the accident of his birth and1 the guess work of his christening anything which took his fancyi "No," said Champnles, shortly, still Ir ritated bv his Interview with Cynthia Page. "Quart Into a pint pot. Plugged up with ads., and Rowso has Just sent up that he'll want another half-page. We shall have to leave over everything that will wait, and some things that won't." "Ah! you don't keep a tight enough hand on Rowse." "Step in and tackle him yourself. Here, this woman called to see 5 ou wouldn't tell me her business." Matthew Elder took the paper slip and sank down In a chair. "Bill, this Is rather bad. I ought to have been In. What with my unfortu nate enthusiasms and my wretched mem ory I shall get myself into trouble. Lis ten: I met this girl two or three times a year ago; never gave her another thought till I came on a story by her that was perfectly magnificent O, horri bly good! probably the best story that has been written this century. I dashed off a letter to her at once, and so work ed myself up about It that I said, to show ray sincerity, that ir Bhe liked I'd marry her. and she could call at the office this morning with her answer. She'd have refused me, of course, as they all do. and perhaps I'm better single; bux, none the less. It would have been more civil not to hae forgotten the appoint ment." "Really." paid Champnles, "you must be a little mad." "Undoubtedly." answered Elder, cheer fully. "It's' the price one pays for being so excessively intelligent." Champnles stared blankly at the desk, trying to recall the exact words of his conversation with Cynthia Page. 'Look here. Bill." said Elder, "write and say you want to see her about a story; then when she comes do the ex plaining for me. Say I was called away by telegram. Say It was from motives of delicacy. Say anything." Th following is from a subsequent issue of the Tea-Cup, a Journal conducted by ladies for ladies: "Ono of the most brilliant of our lady writers. Ml Cynthia Page, is. It is whis pered, shortly to be led to the hymeneal altar. The fortunate partner of her fu ture Joys and orrows Is J. Graham Champnles, a young journalist of great promise.

Tine to W ike up. (From the Columbian.) Judge Wheaton A- Gray, recently ele vated to the supreme court commission, was hearing a criminal case In Fresno, Cat., and on a warm day, at the end of long harangue by the prosecuting coun sel, he noticed one of the jurymen asleep.

Guthrie Capital: The teachers of the Alva Normal school have all been ap pointed for next year. Professor Ament has been re-appointed president as he should have been, as he is virtually the originator of the institution. One of the ppecially meritorious appointments is that of Prof. O. G.

FLOOR OF -CEMENT New Deviceto Avoid Dust in N&w Union Mills. MACHINERY ALL IN PLACE Will be Ready for Busi ness in Two Weeks, Mr. J. E. Howard says that his new TJnion Mills on "West Douglas will be ready to do business In about two weeks. This mill will be very complete In every way, having al Hhe latest Improvements of hoppers, sifters, dusters, screening; ma chines and other mechanical devices. Mr. Howard has made a great Improvement over the old way of milling by having his basement floored with cement, thereby avoiding any danger of dust mixing with the flour. A device, which causes a great deal of euriosity, is an immense door. This turns a sharp corner with perfect smooth ness by means of swivels which join the small pulley wheels to the door. An other queer sight Is the dust collectors. These are composed of bags, about three Inches In diameter and ten or twelve feft long, resembling a great number of ror.ts legs. The machinery, however, wnch fills the spectator with awe Is the new steam plant, consisting of a sixteen-foot l-o'.:cr and a fourteen by thirty-six Standard Hamilton-Corliss engine. The new build ing is in all particulars as fitting to the milling business as possible. The mill, when completed will have a caoaslty of two hundred barrels and will export mir and meal all over the world. STANLEY ASAN "AUCTIONEER BoIdaPlowfor UenentJ-fGlr; rl Sun day Srlioo'.

"Dear Brother Will ,drop yo ua few Sine3 to let you know that I am still In the land of the living. I left San Fran cisco on lira first day of February, with a detachment of recruits for the Eighteenth, Fourteenth, Twenty-third Infantry on board the transport Ohio, and landed in this place March 5, with a stop of five days in Honolulu. We had a fine trip only a few days of bad weather. en- Joyed the trip immensely, only it got pret ty tiresome before we got here. We passed a volcano and had one fellow to die. That was about all that happened. was somewhat surprised to hear there mas fighting going 'on, for when we left everything was quiet. But we haven't had much to do. I have only been In two scrapes one at Malinta and the other at Mannilna. It made me have a funny feeling to hear the Mausers singing around but wo got useI to it after a while and didn't mind It much. There were about 40 or 50 of our boys killed and wounded in the two fights. But we were nearer run to death than anything e!e-e. The country Is mostly rice fields anA they have ridges thrown up two or three feet high and about 50 yards apart, and climbing them with our guns and rations and ammuni tion was hurder on us than anything else. We were only run out the two thnt, for we are doing guard duty In the arsenal and It isn't safo to leave it unprotected. The guard duty Is harder on tw fellows In town that the scrapping is on the boy3 on tho line.", or we go on guard every other morning. But I struck a streak of luck a week ago yesterday. There was a detail sent up the Pasig river to guard three captured vessels and we are having an ea;y time for the present at least. There Is a rumor at quarters this morning that our battalion Is going to be sent out an some small boats to do patrol duty along the coaot to keep outsiders from passing guns and grub to the natives. Tho boats are called the Mo-quito licet. 3f it Is so we won't hae it so hard any more. "This isn't as bad a couriry as It Is painted. There is a good many sick and more wounded, but to read the papers from the states, you would think that we couldn't bury the boys fast enough. -There fcasn't been but two boys died in our bat talion since I have been here. There are a good many cases of smallpox, but 2 don't think it Is contagious. If the boys -would take better care of them selves thtro wouldn't be near k much sickness, but they drink native drinks, called beno, and it would kill a cat. but st is cneap and they buy the the least money. most for "I am as healthy as I ever was In ray Hfe before.

T., was in the city yesterday, making arrange; ments 6 get out a special edition of his paper, the Ponca City Courier. Mr. Lob dell is a hrother of Chas. Lobdell, who was speaker of the Kansas house under Governor Morrill's administration. He says that Ponca City Is temporarily strangled by a suit or Investigation af fecting the title to the land used as a cite for the town. But for that the place woula be like all other Oklahoma towns, hump ing along with prosperity quick-stzp. He says that the papers served on Senator J. W. Lynch, who got the United Suites government patent to the land and Said out tho town site, charge him with obti'n lng the patent in an irregular way. It occurs that when the land was opened to settlement that Mr. Lynch did noc take the claim originally but bought the re linquishment of a gentleman who settled on the claim. For this relinquishment It is charged that Mr. Lynch agreed to i;ive a block of the town site and $1,200. The trouble now seems to rise by action of the gentleman, whose relinquishment Mr. Lynch bought He says that he never re ceived his pay and charges Mr. Lynch with illegal processes In obtaining the rat ent. The land ofllce officials at Perry and Washington are charged with the same thing, so that Mr. Lynch. It he did what hels accused, corrputed the whole land ofllce department. The Investigation villJ be made In September some time and the settlement may cause some trouble in title papers. That is why there are no new buildings going up In Ponca City. As" soon as the matter is settled the town will leap ahead, for It is one of the best wheat sections of one of the greatest wheat counties of the world.
