During tbs revolution, King George wa told tbat tb rich men of New York were as loyal as th Prince of Wales. Now over In Manila, tbey send word to McKinley tbat the ricb men of the Phil. Ippineaare aa loyal to biiaaaaretbe members of his own cabinet. This is a trang sort of coincidence and it will not do to comment upon It, for if you do you will be called a copperhead and Mark Hanna will have you hung for a traitor.

KANSAS BKPCBLICAMM. Tbe republican leader in Kansas are in a fair way to wreck the educational Institution of that state by making tbem the foot ball of politic. The bet ter class of republican paper la th stat are denouncing and protesting I centra tlon of capital, combination, and againet tbe policy inaugurated. Two of I tracts, will disappear.

Tb boarding boas business waa then atop pad by rot of tb republican regent, Tbty didn't want to do anything eon - trary to law.

Tbt reg- snts scratched their beads, read tbt list of name again, and voted to commit tbe earn crime tbat tb popuilt bad beta decapitated for, Tbt ousting of these two regent gave tb republican control and tbey forth with proceeded to knock out all tb ar rangement tbat bad been made for tb commencement exerciee. Tbty countermanded tb engagement made with Bryan for a peecb on that occas ion, On of tbe leading republican pa pers, tbe Sallna Journal, aay: "It waa certainly poor politic to countermand tb engagement of William J. Bryan for tb commencement address at tbe agricultural college. Tbt republl can bavt been complaining of tb ex treme partisanship of the populist la tb management of tb tat educational Institution, and uow,at tbe very outset, tbey ar guilty of tb earn thing. Tbe national reputation of Bryan a an or ator I a uffloient warranty for bis en gagement for th commencement ir cle." In answer to numbers of inquiries in regard to Major Eager, all tbat can be aid i that bl mother ba received a short letter In addition to th cablegram irom mm, ji say tunc the ione ol bl foot were badly mangled, but that while flit wound is very painful It is not considered dangrouN. He thought It would be two months before h would be fit for duty again. He said that he bad tbe best of care and tbe only thing to complain of was tb excessively , hot weather. Wbat la Mark Hauna going to do with tb Island of Mindanao?

All of wbicb Ii just to tb liking of Hanna, McKinley and a lot of preacher. Tbe bead liar on tb gold bug sheet Is no longer the circulation man. Tbat position Is now given to tb headline writer. For a good example, look at the State Journal of lost Friday morn ing. Ite headlinee over the diepatch con corning tbe democratic meeting at St. Louis were aa follow: "Party badly at aea Bryan shouts for silver Say it cannot bo shelved, and Altgeld agrees Strong undercurrent, nevertheloee, against giving It a place." Whoa tbe wbolo account Is read through tbe "strong undercurrent" fail to appear. There soeins to bea mortal dread among the leadure of the republican party tbat free silver will not be dropiwd.

Tb Preebr I tery of Aah vilf endorse tbt pamphlet I and It Is sent out as a tract on bom mission, but It la something very much more than tbat. . This race problem tb American people mast deal wltb In tb near future. Many million more of tb Inferior race bar corns under our jurisdiction In tb last year In fact mor tban all w bad to deal with when McKinley stepped into th whit house. Wbat 1 to bt don with tbem? That I oraetblng tbat must be auewered, and prudono aay tb aoewer cannot bt dtlaytd. Tble tract bos tbe ring of tbe real old gospel in It. It I not to bt wondered at that we find appended to this copy tb fol io wing note: "Within on month from tbt publica tion of tbl pamphlet tbe first edition wa exhausted, and tbe demand for a second and larger edition lead tb writer to bop tbat thi bumble attempt to unit mn of all sections and of both races In an unbiased ttudy of tbl great question will not be in rain."

Tne socialist idea and tbat ol om other people tbat it Is best to let tbe trust, tbe gold bug and tb backer work their Will upon tb p0 P1- nntl1 tb,n" row ,0 that tbey cannot b endured, ia all wrong. Tbey think tbat aucb a condition would force a revolution, but It wouldn't. That kind of talk wa beard around Wnabln ton In 18021 by men who ought to bav bnown batter. Tbey said "Let tbem de monetize ellver if tbey want to. When tbt day of bankruptcy com and price fall one-half or more, when thousand of men are thrown out of employment, they will tarn and burl tb republican party from fpower." But it did not work tbat way. Th day of bankrupt cy came. Hundreds ol thousands ol mea were thrown out of employment, but in tbeir distress aud want, Mark Hanna was able to buy tbem with the monoy furnished by the banker, tb trusts and th ineuranoe companies by tb thousand, at a dollar a bead. Tbat ia tbe way it worked, and that I th way it will alway work. From distress and misery tb republican party got the larger part ot Ite votes.
