They Have Their Troubles.
The ent i'l'das'.ic republican spell-binders
i who are finding “magnificent indorsement
. of the aJmlni-tr.iHun and administration
1 olieivs” in tlie election results are aome
v h.it discoiie-rted by some of the facts as
! they are disclosed by the returns and the
I explanation of conditions that prevailed in
. the different districts.
: The. emphatic manner in Which the facts
gave the black-eye to the utterances of the
pompous and ponderous Thurston, cf Ne
braska. has made him the laughing stock
of the country. When t'he early returns
indicate*! that the republicans had carried
; that state, Thurston was found In a de
i lirum of delight ut tin* “rnagnifi-ent iii

i side McKinley, full in the play of t',ie lime
: light. Since it has b-eii ciscos-rid that
j tlie state has not gone republican, tin re
has been a significant silence in Thurston's
I corner.

facts. The record is against them to begin
with, for Jerry* Is scheduled lor defeat in
every* other race, and this was bls defeat
year. In 1892 Jerry won, in 1891 it was
Kong’s turn, and Jerry retired gracefully
Io private life; in 1896 Jerry’s nose got un
der the wire first, and for two years he
was scheduled to draw congressional salary
and throw tlie harpoon into the carcass
of the big speaker, fat with oil (Standard);
this year it was Long’s turn and he will
hold down t’he seat in the fifty-sixth con
gress.
.Local Issues Beat Jerry.
It wasn’t so much the war that helped
the republican candidate, though there the
republicans worked the sustaln-tbe-presi
dent-on-aecount-of-t'he-war racket as they
did everywhere else. What beat Jerry this
time was the fact, that he had seen fit t*>
fight two of the pet measures of the popu
lists of that stat*’, ami that during his first
term in congress he had cast a vote that
rose to plague him.
The Kansas populists bad two measures
before their legislature at its last session,
which were highly popular with the rank
ami file of their party. These were maxi
mum freight rate bill anil the anti-usury
bill. It was charged against Jerry that he
lobbied against both of these measures be
fore the. legislature, and this charge, wheth
er true or not. was th,' pricipnl element
contributing to his defeat. Then It was re
called to l>ia undoing that in his tiryt term
In congress he had l- tween t lie first and
second roll calls on the anti-option bill so
cluing* d Ills vote as to defeat that measure
by one vote.
These are the ghosts that rose In the path
of the golf-hose statesman to send him into
private life. Not much comfort, in these
facts for the “magnificent indorsement’’
explainers, is there?
KAISER S VISIT WAS

GERMANY INFORMS U.S THAT IT

Washington. November 13 It. Is under
stood that assurance,'* hav*' he. n given bv
tic Gorman government that the visit
i’.mp. ror William, of Germany, to Simin is
entirely devoid of official character; that
th** trip of tiie imperial party ended when
they left Palestine and that th** proposed
stop at Cadiz and Cartagena is largely a
health precaution in behait of th** empress,
as the sea trip vvould be long and arduous
if unbroken by these stops at the Spanish
ports.
The assurances appear to be volun
taiy on the part of the Berlin officials,
and to be in line with the care taken
in that quarter of late to minimize and
remove the bad impression caused by
several incidents occurring during the
recent war.
The state department had not as far as
known taken ingnizane.- of the emperor’s
movements, and *■* rt i inly th. ro was no pur
pose of Inquiring as to th,' stop at Spain,

iterated her m atral an ! friendly attitude

llis , addr, to the rci istag to give
strong .-vt*i'. .-i**n to the German purpose
to m.*int.tin tzio strictest impartiality be

The officials hero *md in Berlin have
recognized that a strong public sen
timent oi mimositv s being devel
cued between the people of the two
countries and steps have been taken to
offset this as far as possible.
i The 1 *■■; move in that dir*" lion was at a
recent von

• Fmted States ambassador, ami Dr. von
I Holl*b-n. the German amba-sad.ir to the
j I’nit'd States, now visiting in Germany. It
! was intemii'd that th- new assistant secre
tary of state. Mr. Hill, should be on- of the
guests, but he was d-tained Iti Holland.

nishing an opportunity for a free and full
di-**-a;-s;..n of all till* subjects which hav**
tiireatened to estrange the two govern
ments, for the estalilishment of a much
mor- friendly und* rst inding.
It is recoginzed, however, among
official and diplomatic circles that
■while the official sentiment is satis
factory there continues to be a current
of ill feeling with the public and press
of the two countries.
For this reason the present move of th
emperor in stopping at the Spanish ports
causes something of a shock in diplomatic
quarters, as it is felt to be one more obsta
cle in th" way of th- happy rapproche
ment which was being execute.l by the
authorities her- and at Berlin. It is with n
v :**w* * f minimizing tiie visit that the as

non-official chariwter.
The suggestion that the emperor may* be

I it may give rise to a Spanish popular dem

country. With a view . f avoiding sucii an
affa.ir, the German -hargo d’affaires at
Madrid lias been tn ra.-'-d to notify the
I Spanish government of the strictly unoffi-
