If he bases his claim toa seatin the Sen- ate on a bad record in two wars, then he cannot count much on his military achievements in advancing his political fortunes In and interview Secretary Alger eomes against trusts and points out the danger to the business of the sountry by these combines. The next in order now is for Secretary Alger to hand in his resignation and be kicked out of the cabinet. Henry O. Havemeyer, the king of she sugar trust, has never been ac- eused of being a liar or a fool. He is a dyed in-the-wool republican, and says the republican party is the father of all trusts. And Henry knows what he is talking about.— Clinton Democrat. Capt. Coghlan, who commanded the cruiser Raliegh, at Manila during the tight with the Spanish, was in Kansas City Tuesday, where he was met by a committee from Kansas headed by the governor. Capt. Coghlin was on his way to Winfield, Kansas, where he addresses the Chatauqua assembly. Captain Clarke, Captain Watson, Lieutenant Ball and 200 sick and wounded soldiers from the 20th Kansas regiment are on their way home from Manila. The normal strength of this regiment was 1,200 men, and with 200 sick on the way home, and 450 on the firing line, Jeaves 550 sick in hospitals er unfit fer duty. “More people are plowing bare- footed and bareheaded in the South than ever before,” says President Brown cf the Georgia Agricultural Society. And this bareness is net a precaution against summer heat. It is the result of a condition which has forced down the price of the great southern staple. King Cotton no longer has a crown er a scepter. We are in receipt of the fellowing notice from the American Type Foundry Co. Another illustration of what trusts are deing for the speople: ‘Our discount on job type, body type, spaces, quads, borders ‘and ornaments will be 25 and 5 after June ist, 1899. This decrease in ‘discounts is due te heavy increase in the cost of metals from which type is made, ranging from 60 to 100 per cent.” The town of Valparaiso, Ind., is threatened with a emall pox plague, and the State Normal school located in that city is to be quarantined. The 2,200 students of the school have been exposed to the malady, in addition to many citizens of the town with whom they came in con- tact. The disease was brought to the sciool by a student named Yoder. Governor Mount has laid aside $1.000 with which to fight the disease. Judge W. Emerson is dead.

Kenney, tried in the circuit court last week, Judge Graves held that there was no stock law in Bates County. The Kenney boys had taken up soms hogs belonging to Mr. Bourland,which were at large and found in the field of Kenney Bros. Bourland brought euit in re- plevin for his hogs and the right of Kenney Bros. to hold them was de pendent upen the adoption of the stock law in Bates county. The election at which ths stock law was submitted to the people was the general election of 1894, when James Drysdale was county clerk. The law, Sec. 4684, Revised Statutes saye: “The clerk of the county court shall, within five days after the clore of each election, take to his assistance two justices of the peace er two judges of the county court, and examine and count up the yotes given each candidate, and give those having the highest number cf votes a certificate of election ” Until this has been done, there is and has been no ascertainment of election. The records of the county court as kept by Mr. Drysdale show that instead of calling to his assist- ance two justices of the peace or two judges of the county court as the law directs, ke called three judges of the county court, thus makiag the canvassing board consist of four members, instead of three a3 the law directs. In the case of state of Missouri vs Meakin,41 Missouri Appeal Reports, Alger as saying that “Gey. Pingree is for President McKinley, first, last and al! the time.” Said the Goyernor: “If General Alger said that it is his opinion from his peint of view. The question whether I am for McKinley lies with the president, not with me. If Gen. Alger knows that President MeKin- ley is opposed to territorial expan sion, and is not an advocate of the murders and the destruction being visited upon the innocent Filipines, he has aright tosay that I am for McKinley. “If General Alger is informed that McKinley is opposed to trusts and to legislation which fosters, creates and encourages them, and in favor of legislation to restrict snd sup- press them, then I am closer to the opinions of McKinley than has gen erally beea believed. If Gen. Alger is assured that President McKinley j8 notin touch and sympathy with the disreputable political methods of Mark Hanna and his friends, and deprecates such leadership, then I am for McKinley. “The question of whetber I favor McKialey is of no consequence in this senatorial matter, but I am for McKinley in everything he does which I consider right, and against everythirg he does which I consider wrong.” Goebel 1s Nominated.

Says War is Not Popular, New York, June 23.—United States Senator J. B.

I don’t believe the newspapers are getting all the news received at the war department, but I know nothing of it personally. If more men and money are wanted, congress will provide the means.
