(llvlno as that by which kings rule, and rob. It is the hand of destiny, mid thud Is dlvlno. It was destiny t.int benueiithed tho l'hilllpplncs lo us to have and to hold and to govern, through tho republican party which can do no wrong, and so It Is destiny that has guided tho republican party and given tho News tho county print lug. John Lawson you sacrlllglous cuss why don't you stick to your faith at homo as well as ahroadr The Dally of this city, speaking of the llrltish house of Lords, calls It an Ico factory. This Is not understand able. They seem to bavo developed something very torrid Indeed, very much like Molllo Lease's favorite pre script Ion, In South Africa. The Pratt County 1'nloti doesn't think money makes the man; It's fe males. It says: ' It Is claimed that a boy doesn't amount to much from the time females cease slobbering over him as a baby until they begin to kiss him as a man. We don't believe it. It Is reported that. Senator I'latt consulted an osteopath after receiv ing his rough treatment from W. A Wblte. As (ho theory of this medi cal cult Is that all ailments result from displaced bones,' I he effect of t hat article must; have been inoiv crushing than at first supposed. The United States minister to Co rea has trouble in getting in through tho door of the legation building, lie is Nix feet t wo and the doors are 1 ullt for four foot six people. The president should be more careful In making Ills appointments to he sure they measure up to the requirements. The new independent "Independ ent" edited by that notorious Inde pendent, Mr. Sheridan I'loughe, Is so intrinsically Independent that It starts out by roasting every newspa per In town except (he News. It Is sife to say it Is not going., to roast Ora Morse or Frank or John Vincent either. It has borrowed the Cynic from the Democrat and tho Democrat Is greatly to be congratulated there for. Hut it Is to be feared that the Independent, will steal the Democrat's Job of mudslinger for the crowd that don't dare to throw it themselves There has been iiille a wordy war among some of the republican papers about the lei t ing of I he county print ing. This paper hardly considered that little matter an Item of news and said nothing about it. The let llngof the contract to the News at such terms as it may oiler, is a thing of such regularity that everybody ex pects It as often as the time rolls round. It Is as useless for other pa pers to gel angry anil waste words over it as It Is to put. In bids. The printing belongs lo the News. Of course It does. It is an imwritlen law. It. lias been thus so long that a precedent has been established and to take it. away would be a nil bless smashing of the hallowed traill lions of the county. It holds that printing by right, divine right - right Just as POPULISTS DUTY. It Is now high tlmo that tho popu lists of Kansas should be thinking well of tho step they aro to take nt tho conference to bo held In Topcka We must confess that tbo prospect Is not bright and the subject Is not ono for pleasant reflection. Hut tho con dltlon and not tho theory Is to be met und It may us well bo met man f nil v. Tho condition seems to be about this: that there is no longer a nlaeo for tho populist party. Tho western democrats havo preempted about all tho old populist principles and doctrines. There aro some of tho theories It Is true, like the sub- treasury scheme, for Instance, that tho democrats do riot accept, but It may very truly bo said that tho pop ullsts do not either any more. They never were fundamental. They never were accepted by the entire constltu ency of the party. , Hut n great many populists, in fact most of them, have not stopped where they set their stakes ten years ago. They have con tinned their economic studies with tho result that they liuvo weeded out the visionary and unscientific "Isms," with which the early history of the parly was cumbered, but they have also discovered that many of the sounder of their remedies were really only palliative, and not eradl cntlve In their nature. So with this they havo become socialists. Now they aro debating whether or not the democratic party, even with Jlryan ut Its head, Is comprehensive enough In Its propositions of reform. And so events havo shaped themselves that the more conservative populists are democrats and tho morn radical ones aro socialists and will probably Join this solcalist party, Tho socialist party Is bound to grow and it would not be a very wild political prophesy to say that It will be ono of tho most potent political factors of tho fu ture. This Is because It is Die Inevitable tendency of all modern Industrial development. However the question of political agitation nt the present time by the format Ion of new parties, Is very questionable. Especially Is It so for the reason that all these par ties up to the present have taken a too radical stand. They In their strictest declarations undertake too much for any sane and practical man. For Instance they declare for "the public ownership of all the means of production and distribution." Tills means the entire elimination of pri vate property. It Includes your hoes and wagon wrenches. Strictly con strued It means your wife and babies. Some day under some peculiar condi tions, some such socialists, arc liable to get Into power somewhere. Then they will bump up against practical propositions which will demonstrate tho Impossibility of carrying out their platform pledges, or else in attempt ing to consumale legislation in this line they will fall disastrously and bring odium on a good cause. The too radical and visionary socialist Is the worst enemy of (he cause lie es pouses. The time will porhably will come when Micro will be a necessity for a socialist party. Hut at present the educational work can best be done in a sort of non-partisan way by advo cating practical measures of a social istic, nature. Every socialist who Is well grounded In the principles w ill admit that the socialistic conditions must come, If at all, by a process of evolution. It will come by nation ali.lug the smaller monopolies .and public utilities, then going to the arger ones as experiment proves the success of tlie operations. The work will be delayed by Including too much in the declaration of principles and attempting to establish a poll I leal party thereon. However tho demo- earth: party at present does not seem to lie a very vlrilo thing. It may even be suggested that dropping t lie pop olisl parly to iro into tho democratic party Is like dropping one corpse, to take up another. Hut nevertheless, the fact remains that some day a par ty opposed to the republican party will get In power. What populists might expert to accomplish would not so much he to help t hem win victo ries as It Is to keep the organization in such condition and working on such a platform, that when they do win as they will some day when con ditions are right, they will have to do something in the nature of reform This in a word is the situat ion as It. appears to the writer. Time only will tell what the result will pe. WE OUGHT TO BE PROUD.

The utlldavlt of the always being on the other side, lie man C'ummlngs who Is wiling to ad was Interviewed and emphatically de-, mlt killing prisoners, is not ut all tiled the report. That Is, he denied (touching the point of Metcalf's case, the report so far as It related to tho J It only seems to prove the more "busting." It seems not to be de-1 strongly the ghastly charges that nled that he was gambling heavily and lost much money. And upon this statement many good moral pa pers have taken occasion to rend a lecture on the wickedness of the man, who subtracts so much wealth from the American people who are com pelled to patronize the trust, and the workmen whom force of circum stances has compelled lo work for it, and dissipates it in the gambling re sorts of Europe. Now such carping critics are only emitting the most polluted sort of drivel. Monte Carlo Is the place of all the world whero gathers the flower of royalty, tho bluo bloods of all nations, to gamble, and get drunk, and gamble sonic more, and have a good tlmo spending the money that belongs to them by right of Inherit ance Tbe fact uiai our American aptnins of Industry have such wealth us to entitle them to membership In such a circle is proof of the wealth and power and prestige of this great nation. It should bo a matter for pride and congratulation upon the part If every citizen that our great Americans can take scats at the gam bling tables by the side of princes and moiuirchs. It's an advertisement of our wealth. No matter If your pants are out at tho seat and your wife wears a rugged dress while you work hard for a dollar a day. If that is the case you are too extrava gant. nc wealth Is In America any way and we are the richest people on earth. Of course, the crap shoolers, and the boys that hide out in buck alleys for poker games, must he sent to the penitentiary, shaved close and put In st rlied suits. That's a different t hlng you know. It's only honorable for stutesmen, capitalists and great men to play poker and rouletee. It is to be regretted that It seems likely thai tho hearing of the charges iguiust Col. Mot calf of killing un armed and defenseless Kilipplno pris oners, are still to leave the mutter open to cavil. The whole showing is ugalust him and lie reully has no shadow of evidence, lu his favor, ex cept his own general denial. Ills or derly swore, be saw him shoot one of the prisoners while pleading for mercy, nnd was close enough to him to almost laid his build upon him. This was practically the testimony of another soldier also. Tho fact that two other soldiers, one of whom it dead, killed prisoners, docs not by any means prove that Metealf did not kill them also, or disprove the evi dence of the two who claim to have .American soldiers' civilizing methods were not exactly of a I Ind to lie ap proved by the teachings of the hum ble Nu.ureiie, This fact bus cer tainly been developed by the evi dence, and the only thing the coni iiilttee may do to mitigate the seri ousness of the offense will be to excul pate Metealf from blame. As It is admitted to have been generally known and there was no investigat ion by "Metealf, the facts are certainly very strongly against him. Oklahomt live Stook Matting.
