CHAPTER ONE OF 3TKINLEY.
Review or Five MoHths' Work of the Ad
ministration. The period between the inauguration
of President McKinley and his depar
ture from Washington for a vacation
after the first five months of hard work
constitutes chapter 1 of the administra
tion's history. This is a distinct period
for trial and achievement, and it is
worth while to see what the record is.
Between the time when Major Mc
Kinley .took hold and the time when he
lets go temporarily for rest, these things,
among others, have happened:
1. The tariff question has been re
moved from politics. The pledge of the
party which nominated McKinley that
it would give the country a squarely
protective tariff as a settlement of the
question, and thus give the country rest,
has been honestly redeemed.
2. The administration during these
five months has organized for four years.
The president has met and sustained
the tremendous strain consequent upon
the legitimate competition for office.
He has made most of the principal ap
pointments in a manner generally satis
factory to citizens of all parties; and.
what is to be noted especially about this,
he has preserved harmonious relations
with the members of his party in toth
houses of congress, and has made, per
haps, as few enemies outside as any
president ever made during the cor
responding period.
:t. The administration has definitely
committed itself to the American policy
of Hawaiian annexation, and is proceed
ing vigorously and in good faith to re
move that question also from politics.
4. Mr. McKinley has succeeded in
winning for his administration and for
himself the respect and good will of a
vast majority of his fellow citizens. His
personality attracts instead of repelling;
and it is his good fortune to have creat
ed, at the very start, friendly and favor
ing conditions of public sentiment, hard
to define precisely but likely to be of
immense valuo to him all through his
term. New York Sun (dem.)
PRECEDING THE CONVENTION.
At Imperial Saturday the republican
county central committee met and con
cluded to appoint the delegates to the
state convention and hold a late conven
tion for the nomination of county
officers. The committee chose Harry
Rowe, Harry Wilson and W.M.Wat
son delegates to the state convention at
Lincoln. They favor the renomination
of Judge Post.
The republican central committee of
Washington county met Saturday at
Blair and appointed their fourteen del
egates to the state convention. The
calling of a county convention was de
ferred to a later date. The dispatch
further says that the delegation go in
structed, but does not say what the in
structions are.
Even the Humphrey Democrat haB a
good word to say in favor of the new,
republican tariff bill:
"It seems that the sugar trust will not
reap all the profits accruing under the
sugar schedule in the Dingley bill.
Southern planters have advanced field
laborers' wages lC1 per cent and skilled
labor 20 to 30 per cent more than last
year. The advance takes effect August
1st. We are glad to note an instance
where laboring men get direct benefit
from the tariff."
Laboring men always did get a benefit
when a republican protective tariff was
in force under a republican administra
tion. In those days, too, there were not
a few protective tariff democrats.
The case of tlio Society of the Home
for the Friendless, as against the State
of Nebraska is said to involve the same
principles as the famous Dartmouth
college case, decided by the U. S. su
preme court in 1810. The defense in
substance is that the society has vested
rights that cannot be taken away by the
legislature; that the act passed by the
legislature placing the home under con
trol of the state is unconstitutional, and
that the state has not sought the proper
remedy in asking for a writ of man
damus. It must be discouraging to those who
have been insisting that the free coinage
of silver at a false ratio is the only hope
for business prosperity to find that na
ture is co-operating with those other
elements which they insisted were band
ed against their theory, and is now sup
plying not only plentiful crops at profit
able prices, but producing an enormously
increased quantity of gold from new
mines as well as old ones in every part
of the world. Norfolk Journal.
It seems that a 23-year-old boy named
Marconi has discovered a method of
conveying telegraph messages without
wire. A company has been organized at
London, which gave Marconi 60,000
spot cash and gave him 4.00,000 worth
of shares, for the control of all rights
except those of Italy.

Washington, Aug. 10. The nary

FEDERAL JUDGE DEFIED
Kansas Officials Ignore Judge
Williams' Injunction.
CLIMAX IN THE IXSU2AH0E WAB.
Attorney General Boyle firing Quo War
ranto Proceeding Agninat Mutual Life
lasaraure Company : Compel It tu
Show by What Authority the Company
Ia Doing- IUkineM In Uansaa.
Topeka, Kan., Ausr. 10. The long
threatened clash between the United
States courts and the authorities of the
state of Kansas came yesterday when
Attorney General Boyle, acting upon
the advice and with the concurrence of
the entire state administration, took ac
tion in the state courts in open defiance
of the federal authoiiiies. This action
is the outcome of an injunction issued
on July 29 last by Uiiit-d States District
Judge John A. Williams of Arkansas at
Colorado Springs. Colo., by which he
positively enjoined Si ate Insurance
Commissioner Web McXall and Attor
ney General Boyle of Kansas from
bringing airy proceedings whatever un
der the state laws to prevent the Mu
tual Life Insurance company from do
ing business in Ktinsai
tion cf Judge Wiliiums
The iujauc
was sweeping
in its ell out aim amounted, according to
Governor Leedy, Attorney General
Boyle and Coui:nisiio::er McNall, to a
practical annulment of the criminal law
of Kansas, under which the iiiMirance
company imolvcd has been barred from
transacting bushier in Kansas. Not
only this, but the Kausas authorities
maintained that the injunction of
Judge Williams was in violation of tho
constitution of the United States in
that it prevented the state from enact
ing and carrying out its own laws aud
also in co in m vat ion of decisions of the
United States court.
Acting upon this belief Attorney
Geueral Boyle went l.-fore the slate
court, bringing in quo warranto against
the Mutual Life Iutir.uce company, to
compel that corpoi a; ion to appear be
fore the stale supreme court aud show
by what authority i: is transacting bnsi
nets in the state of Kansas. Attorney
General Boyle having done precisely
what the injunction of Judge Williams
forbade him from doing, the presump
tion is that the federal judge will cause
his arrest and imprisonment for con
tempt. In this event application for a
writ of habeas corpus will be made at
once to the United States supreme court
and in such a proceeding the attorney
general would have the support of the
entire state administration. Governor
Leedy has declared that -the issue has
been made and the matter must be
fought to a termination. The applica
tion filed by the attorney general simply
states that the Mutual Life Insurance
company, a corporation of the state of
New York, not licensed to transact
business in the state of Kansas, is doing
business in the state in violation of the
laws of Kansas. No mention is made
in the application to the injunction of
the federal judge.
Attorney General' View.
The Kansas City Times prints an in
terview with Attorney Geueral Boyle
of Kansas, as to the issue raised be
tween the Kansas authorities and the
federal courts. The attorney general
states that he has no desire to defy any
one, but that he is simply acting ac
cording to his duty under the laws of
Kansas. He explains that the stare
laws are plain that no foreign insur
ance company shall do business in the
state without a license from the super
intendent of insurance. The Mutual
Life, he says, has no such license,
though its general agent, Mr. Lord.con
tiunes to solicit business. The attorney
general adds that if the insurance com
missioner is illegally withholding a
license from that company, the courts
of the state are open to the company to
compel the commissioner to grant such
a license, and he adds that the corpora
tion has seen fit to wholly ignore the
state courts, and continue to do busi
ness in violation of the law.
Continuing, Attorney General Boyle
says: "This is a positive defiance of
our state laws. It cannot be possible
that Judge Williams means by his order
that he will restraiu uu executive offi
cer of a sovereign state from doing his
plain duty. If a federal judge of Ar
kansas, while takiug his baths at a
summer retort iu Colorado, can suspend
for a limited lime the operation of any
portion of the laws of the state of Kan
sas, that a federal judge, po matter
where he may bo, can stop the whole
machinery of our state government, ap
point a receiver and act as general dic
tator of state affairs. If this order, with
its sweeping intent, can stand, it is
simply revolutionary. I have no desire
to precipitats 2 clash between the fed
eral aud local courts, but it is of vital
importance that the people should know
definitely whether a state has any rights
that a federal judge mnst respect. If
we have no such rights, then state gov
ernment is a useless expense."
Attorney General Boyle complains
particularly of the fact that Judge Wil
liams injunction was granted without
notice to the state authorities.

New Yokk. Aug. 10. There will be
a conference in Brooklyn on Wednes

Senor Sagaata. Liberal Leader, Say Con

Lata Slinittcr'a Remains Will Lie la
State at Madrid Funeral Will Probably
Take Place on Thursday.
Madrid, Aug. 10. In the course of aa
interview Senor Sagasta, the Liberal
leader said: "The country's politic
must not depend upon an assassin. The
Conservatives ought to remain in powet
under men like Marshal Campos, Senor
Pidal and Senor Elduayeu. Neverthe
less if the queen regent appeals to the
Liberals they are ready to respond."
The funeral of Senor Canovas will
take place probably on Thursday.
Meanwhile the remains will lie here in
state. The Spanish newspapers with
out regard to difference of political
opinion, express their : ror and indig
nation at the crime and their satisfac
tion that the assassin is not a Spaniard.
There is a great deal of speculation as
to the effect of the loss of Canovas upon
the Conservative party. Geneial Azcar
raga has acquired great popularity and
prestige through his skill in organizing
the country's resources for the Cut an
aad Philippine campaigns and he may
be able to keep the party together.
A.:ikiu louf'lou.
Golli has confessed that he killed
Senor Canovas to avenge the Barcelona
anarchists and the insurgent leader,
Don Jose Kizal, who was executed a't
Manila, Philippine Islands, on Djc. 30
last, as the i'tstigutur of the Philippine
rebellion. Dr. llizal denied that he
was a rebel leader, but he admitted that
he had drawn tip the statute-; of the
Philippine league Iu Gulii's roam tho
police found a large tumble-haireled
pistol. It appears ihar when he left the
house Sunday he carried a parcel, which
is believed to ha - loutaiued a bomb.
The theory is that he hid this some
where in the fields.
A dispatch froui Barcelona says that
Golli at lived there iu Diccmber. lS'Jo.
coming fiom Marseilles. He was em
ployed iu the printing oillco of The Re

Oni'MWA, la., Aug. 10. At a meet
Ing of the Iowa miners here yesterdaj
it was decided not to strike in sympathy
with the easterners, but it was voted tc
assess all men 55 cents per week foi
their aid. The meeting was poorly at
tended, only one-fourth of the miner;
in the slate being represented. The
agitators fiom Illinois worked hard tc
get the men to dtc'.are a strike, but thvj
men decided they could do no iH.od iu
ordering a striko with such a small
number, and passed a resolution order
ing notices to be sent out to all camp
in the stale for another meeting at Os
kaloosa Aug. li. If two-thirds of the
miners in the state siguify their inten
tion of sending delegates the mectins
will be held, if not it will be called off.
It is very probable that the meeting will
not occur and that each camp wilt settle
its own scale and grievances v.ith the
operators.

were paid today, but those who struek
did not receive any money, the-company
insisting upou the terms of the contract
by which tho men agreed to forfeit all
money one them iu case they refused to
work. The strikers say the men have
promised to quit work as soon as they
get their pay, but De Ar
mitt says the strikers will net
take a man out of Plum
Creek mine, except 29, who will be dis
charged. Owing to the carelessness of
the guard about the Sandy Creek mine,
45 men went into the mine at 5 o'clock
this morning and are now at work.
Some of the details for the march on
mines in Westmorelaud county aud cen
tral Pennsylvania have been arranged.
It will probably be made tomorrow.

Anthracite Miners May Strike.
Pittsburg, Aug. 10. On the success

Kansas Cattlemen Will Resist tha Order.
Eureka, Kan., Aug. 10. At a meet
ing of the Greenwood County Cattle
men's association today it was decided
to resist the order of the Kansas rail
roads, providing that live stock should
be shipped by weight hereafter instead
of by the carload as heretofore. T. L.
Davis was employed by the association
as counsel. He left tonight for Topeka,
accompanied by a committee of cattle
men, to ask the board of railroad com
missioners to issue a temporary restrain

the matter.

-FOR
Suffering Humanity !
To all Sufferers: I write this for
the benefit similar sufferers may derive
from it, unsolicited and out of pure
sympathy to those poor mortals who
may be afflicted with that dread disease
cancer.
In September of 1887 the disease
known by the medical fraternity us
lupuserethemustosus first made its ap
pearance on my face and soon spread
across the nose and over a greater part
of the face, causing unsightly sores.
After nearly ten years of constant doc
toring with many noted physicians and
deriving temporary benefit at times, my
system at last reached a stage of com
plete collapse, and I wan Hut on my back
with no ray of hope. At this stage I
was recommended to try Dr. Lieber of
Omaha; after an examination he said he
could cure me. As a drowning .person
grasping at a straw I entered his private
hospital, and in a short space of time I
was able to leave the hospital a well
woman. My face is now clear and shows
but little sign of the dread disease.
While in the- hospital there were also
removed from my body seven cancers,
and that without the use of the-knife.
The medical fraternity scoff at the idea
of cancers being removed without the
knife. But I am a living proof that it
can bo and is done by Dr. Lieber. To
all those poor mortals who have given
up the battle against this dread disease,
I say don't despair, but consult with the
doctor. I make this statement out of
pure sympathy for similar sufferers, and
win lie giau 10 see or answer any in
qniries in regard to my case.
