FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 22. 1899.

SKCBETABT ROOT hopes and believes that the situation in Cuba will warrant the holding of municipal elections not later than next May.

THB revolting Kentucky Democrats were willing to keep silent last year when Goebel was laying his plans for counting out Republicans, but now that he has undertaken to count out opposing Democrats as well, their virtuous indignation breaks the bonds of Bilence and they are making very interesting disclosures of Kentucky Democratic methods.

THHY will simply have to put a stopper the old ?P$rs'B mouth. Senator —organ, of Alabama, has bee£ a study of the expansion question as delated to eotton, and ha states that ilie development of the Philippines will be the salvation of the south and her staple, cotton. He proposes to make the Philippines instead of Liver* pool, the center of the cotton trade and distribute from there tho vast amounts of cotton goods used by the orient. This sort of talk to the south about cotton will never do in the world. Mr. Bryan's anti-expansion views can never cope in the south with this line of reasoning.

THB Democratic Detroit Free Press says that the time to get people to try a new medicine- is when they are ill. When they get well they have no inclination to do so therefore, the American people are not likely to adopt free silver now. The Press then, in acknowledging that the country, under a Republican President and a highly protective tariff, has recovered from the illness induced by Grover Cleveland's administration and the Wilson free trade tariff, leaves almost no platform itself to

Btand

upon. What does

the free Press honestly think of the present great prosperity under ""TsUAigbVout Republican management?

are crowing wildly over

Democratic victory in a Democratic district in Missouri,—the eighth district, flaunting the fact proudly that the vote shows clear opposition to expansion. The country at large, the administration and Republicans generally are not, however, worrying unnecessarily. The eighth district has usually been on the side of the fence which time and experience has proven the wrong side. It is usually an "against" district. It is opposed to sound money and to a protective tariff, upon both of which policies depend the business prosperity, the industrial life and the home market of the re public, and the fact that this district now shows itself opposed to expansion merely exemplifies itB usual preference for the wrong end of a question.

since the official announce'

ment that President McKinley would visit St. Paul and Minneapolis, as well as Chicago, when he goes west next month, the President has been over whelmed with invitations, by mail, by wire and verbally to visit other west ern cities. While this proof of his personal popularity is naturally gratifying to President McKinley, it iB also embarrassing to him, because of his inability to accept all the invita tions and his unwillingness to appear to discriminate. He may decide ..to viBlt other places, but the chances are that he will not. His promise to visit Chicago during its annual festival was obtained many months ago, and it was his desire to assist in welcoming the

Minnesota volunteers home from the Philippines, that caused him to decide to go to Minneapolis and St. Paul his interest in and kindly feeling toward the volunteers are known to ail who have come in contact with him.

IT seems difficult for the navy de partment to issue an order concerning Rear Admiral Schley, which does not put the inventive faculties of some newspaper writers on double duty and produce a lot of storieB which anyone at all familiar with the practices of the department know to be farcical. Some time ago Admiral Schley asked to be given sea duty, and last week he was ordered to hold himself in readiness to take command of the South Atlantic squadron, the first opportunity there has been to comply with his request, the appointments of that rank made since he filed it having all gone to his seniors. Firgt pfcipe a batch of stories about the popigiand Jjeiog an HgimporteBt That is pure fcoeb.

No flag command is regas1?6^ navy as unimportant, and any one o* them may become at any time the mogt important, It is always Cust&mary before assigning officers of high rank to any particular duty, to ascertain their Visiles, and there isn't reason for supposing that the cus torn will be deviated from in this case. Therefore, it may be taken for granted that if the order is issued assigning Admiral Schley to the command of the South Atlantic squadron, he has no objection to assuming it.

REPRESENTATIVE EDDY, of Minnesota, who is an expert in feeling the public pulse, is in Washington. Since congress adjourned he has been almost continuously on the move, and has bean from Massachusetts to the state $1 Washington, making it a point to End out thd Condition pf public SBPtiment, As a result of bis iu?Ast*K*' tion, he says that the foreign policy oi the administration will be the principal issue in the presidential campaign. 01 that issue he said: "The sentiment of the country is, in my opinion, overwhelmingly in favor of maintaining American supremacy over every foot of territory which came to ue £.6 a result of the war with Spain. The antiexpansionists of the east have really done President McKinley a good turn by their caluminations. For they have aroused the sentiment of the people and made an issue that will be set tied in tho presidential election next year, and settled right, as every question involving American dignity ar honor has always been settled when submitted to the voters."

IT must heartily disgust the assail ants of the administration to see that most of the new appointments of officers are those who served in Cuba or Porto Rico and that, according to Sec retary Root's report, a large majority of the commissioned officers who served in the Spanish war are now applicants for these positions. Thus is the lie given to the traitorous statements of the Atkinaldoists to the effect that the administration is forcing a war to whictx Jhe bulk of the people are opposed.

THE New York joiirhht, &fi ftfdent expansionist, fully supports Colonel Bryan. It says, however, that all Democrats are united for expansion and then makes the surprising announcement that Mr. Bryan will, before the next nomination, learn the difference between expansion and imperialism. This is the Journal's first admission since 1896 that Mr. Bryan could learn anything.

For Dr. Kane.

The Lafayette Journal, speaking of Dr. Kane,

sayE:

"Dr. Kane was first

introduced to the people of Lafayette ae pastor of the Second Presbyterian church. His work in the ministry here was eminently successful and satisfactory. He left Lafayette to be come pastor of the leading Presbyter ian church at Bloomington, 111. He left that work a year ago to assume charge of the educational department of the Winona assembly. He served for some time as a member of the boaid of trustees of Wabash College, and is thoroughly in touch with every department of the institution. He understands its needs, and has the energy and executive ability to supply them. He is strong intellectually, possesses fine personal qualities, and is a broad-minded and progressive gen tleman. His selection as president of the college is an exceedingly appro priate one, and the wiBdom displayed by the trustees in making the selection will be more than verified by the splendid results that are sure to fol low."

A misunderstanding In the Skaggs Family

Mrs. Dora Skaggs has sued for divorce from her hueband, Marion Skaggs. She charges cruel treatment and failure to provide. The defendant will make a fight in the case and pro tests that he can't be beaten aB a first class husband. Mrs. Skaggs doesn say he can. She says that she is the one beaten and she doesn't propose to stand it.

Services at Walnut Chapel.

TAX COMMISSIONER WINGATE.

Frankfort News: John C. Wingate, the affable state tax commissioner, passed through here.to-day on his way to Ocean Grove, where Mrs. Wingate haB been spending the summer.

Mr. Wingate has just returned from a trip to North and South Dakota, where he has been on business connected with a threshing machine firm, for which he travels. When accosted by the NewsJ and requested to give some information of the condition now prpyftjling in the northwest, John readily J-g do so. He said: 't.h-

This fall men out there are getting $2.50 per day and board for pitching wheat, while separator and engine men are paid $4 to $6 per day, and a number of machines are idle because of the fact that a sufficient number of men can not be found to furnish crews for these machines."

the New Law. ..

The transfer of school children under the new law passed by the laBt general assembly is causing misunderstanding all over the state. Frank r. Jones, state superintendent of public instruction, is devoting his whole time during office hours to answering letters of inquiry in regard to school transfers. The inquiries come to him for final decision, after they have been passed on by. township trustees and county superintendents. It appears probable that some of the cases will be taken into the courts for final settlement.

Heretofore transfers have £een made under an entirely different jpgJ.hod. This year the statute provjdeB that _-**» child »Uj

may be better accommodated in another corporation the parent, guardian or custodian of the child may, at any time, ask the school trustee, board of school trustees or commissioners of the school corporation for an order of transfer, which, if granted, shall entitle the child to attend the schools of the corporation to which such transfer is made. The achool officials, however, have to pay out of the special school fund to the corporation to which the child is tranferred $1.50 a month for common school tuition and $3 a month for high school privileges. It is optional with the trustee or county superintendent whether they grant the transfer or riot.

SOLDIERS' HOME CROWDED.
