THE MEN AND THE ISSUE The Republican Candidates for the City Council Stand Individually and Collectively for a Sound Business Administration of City Affairs. It is doubtful if the republicans of Kansas City, Kansasrever had a more ineffective or disrupted opposition than it has in the coming city election. It is a question if half the people of the city know who the men are, running in opposition to the republi can nominees. In addition to this they appear to stand on no platform and appear to represent no issue, other than the very important question to themselves of getting into public office. In some cases it was utterly impossible to get acceptable men to take the nom inations ecause they did not bavo the desire for office and felt that the party seeking them had no cause that would warrant them in making any sacrifices to espouse.

Uu the otner hand tne republicans have given the city a successful, busi ness administration, and tne candi dates on the republican ticket for elec tion April 7 are men sucn as to command the confidence of the people and the tax payers. They are well known and nave es tablished reputations for ability and integrity. They will receive a majority of votes not alone because they are republicans but because they are preeminently qualified for the places for which they are proposed. And they are pledged to an honest, economical, progressive, businesslike administration of public affairs. Some of the republican nominees are candidates for reelection.

They have been identified with the splendid record of the city government of the past year, a record that tells of a continued reduction of pulbic indebtedness, coupled with a gratifying amount of public improvement. Principal among these renomi-nees is B. S. Smith, the colored member from the Third ward. Mr.

Smith, in his aldermanic capacity, has worked for the city hard and successfully. He is a leader and it would be unlike the intelligent voters of the Third ward to replace him with a man who when he takes his seat in the council will have to begin at the bottom. Barney Pollman, a man of and for the people, who now represents that big industrial district, the sixth ward, will continue to do so. He has nothing to apologize for in his first year of public service. His record is worthy of overwhelming endorsement U.

V. Widener, candidate for reelection to the council from the Fourth ward, needs no commendation. He is a thorough business man, chosen to represent a ward with large business interests. The people have once given him a splendid vote of confidence and he has since shown himself in every way worthy of it. He is a member of some of the most important committees of the council where he has shown a disposition to guard well the city's interests.

His services in that respect are valued and will be retained. There are two men to be elected in the First ward, one for the short term and one for the long term. The can didate for the former is M. Ringland, who is now filling the place by appointment. O.

B. Nelson is the candidate for the long term, or "Uncle" Jimmie Sullivan's place. Mr. Sullivan is a democrat, and so the election this vear will be notable for seeing the other half of the old First ward pulled over into the republican column. On account of the demoralized condition of the opposition in the Second ward it looks as though Harry Mendenhall is going to have a walkaway.

The fact that he was selected at the primaries over three other very strong men was a splendid compliment to him. He is a young business man and the confidence in him is not misplaced. Jack Gray, in the Fifth ward, is no less strong than the other republican candidates. He has all those-elements of strength that bring a man to the front in public life. To Stop rrtntln War Record.

It is learned that the sab-committee of the house having charge of the sundry civil bill is seriously contemplating bringing the publication of the war records to an immediate dose.

On the shield is the motto, "God and Country, with a large five-pointed star beneath the motto. were the expressions of surprise at the headquarters of the Salvation army Sunday when the news leaked out that Col. William Eadie, the chief secretary, had received a message from Gen. Booth, ordering him to London.

One of the stipulations that Ballington made to the three commissioners to get him to withdraw was that Col. Eadie should go to London and never return. A cablegram from London said that there was a large gathering of mem bers of the Salvation army at the railway station Saturday to bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker, who sail for New York from Southampton by the American line steamer St.

Louis, in order to assume command of the forces here, and that Commander Booth-Tucker said he hoped to induce Ballington Booth to return to the fold and will make him most liberal offers. A CUBAX COMMISSION XOT WASTED. Madrid, March 23. The Heraldo says: "Spain could never officially recognize a United States commission of inquiry into Cubur. affairs.

It is impossible that President Cleveland should have such an idea. War between Spain and America would be preferable." The same paper also says: "Spain, in former times, has accepted the consequences of more terrible struggles than would be a war with the United States, and we should prefer to risk a war to recognizing the commission." SALISBURY HAS MADE PROPOSALS. London, March 2S. Lord Salisbury has sent a reply to the memorial in favor of Anglo-American arbitration of the Venezuelan question adopted by the 7 case The ice-ply is addressed to Bt Hon.

WILL NOT BE PLAY. England's Proposed Mile Expedition Must Be Regarded (Seriously. London, March 23. In spite of the bold front put upon the matter here, there is no denying that there is a feeling in Great Britain that the Nile expedition is likely to torn out to be something in the nature of disturbing a hornet's nest, and the support of Italy, in case matters assume a serious aspect, is problematical. A Russian traveler, Eliseiffe, who is thoroughly familiar with the situation, estimate that the forces at the disposal of the mahdi number about 300,000 men, of which 40,000 are Baggars, ail trained and disciplined.

The leader knocked at the door, awakened Jailer Ellis, representing he was a deputy sheriff with a prisoner he wanted locked up As the jailer opened the door he was covered with a large army pistol and the keys demanded.

Washington. March 23. The outlook as to the proceedings in the se nate for the present week is not very clear. Senator Sherman hopes to be able to continue the consideration of the Cuban question until it shall be concluded. He says he thinks it can be disposed of by to-morrow.

It is confidently expected that the legislative bill will be disposed of during- the week, so as to have itout of the way for the post office bill, which is to be the next appropriation bill reported. There probably will be two or three days of debate upon the bill. The naval appropriation bill, which is the next supply bill to be taken up, has not yet been reported to the house, and until it is, that body will drift along- occupying- itself with such minor matters as may be called up by the committees. It is thoug-ht, however, that the naval bill will be reported by Wednesday or Thursday at the farthest. The public lands committee has several minor bills which can be called up.

as have also the judiciary, foreign affairs and banking- and currency committees. The most important of the latter is the bill permitting national banks to take out circulation up to the par value of their bonds. A. P. A.
