Boy's WORK.


The Radicals have been tinkerins vii
the Topeka Government for long tina
in order to get it into running order, b;
without success. There has been 8
"screw loose somewhere, and no tinkC
in the entire crew is capable of discOyg.
ing the defect and repairing the cor
cern. The Address emanating from tss
late Topeka Legislature tells the rnOurs-
full tale. At one time the Border RHfhzz
officials would arrest members Of tbs
body until there was no quorum. tha
blocking the wheels of Gouernsasf
At its next session, much exer.ion was r.
quired to secure the attendance Of 81
6cient number to. transact business. shS
then timidity snd indeeision marx ID
action, and nothing was done. Then GoE-
Walker bamboozIed the people into -
curing control of the Territorial Legs
lature by eiecting members Of that body.
The Topekaites imagined that SOMEBODY
had promised them that, after repeslas
all the bogus laws, it would adjourn =
favor of their concern and on thss
self-made terms of theirs, they sssistsf
in that work.
But the members once elected refused
to be choked off, and then the Rsdiess
were again in q stew. Then high one
ais showed symptoms Of disaffectiOn.-..
Their Legislature met again, run ags;ra
the Territorial Legislature, came Oh
second best Ia the collision, and had o
adjourn for brief period. It again ns
and had no quorum, and again adjOuE-
ed. This is brief outline of the MS
fortunes of the Radicals, and We ms
confess that they are heart~Fending. %
long as there vas a chance of success, Es
admired the perseverance, OF that facten; /;
but when all hope had ceased. and ths
perseverance had degenerated into Os-
stinaey, we sought another means o.
relief and left the boys " 70 finish thai
work.
They have failed In everythiDg-ne
through the opposition Of others, but q
account Of their own errors. Their the,
ory is wrong. and never can succeed una
the same degree of fanaticism prsyais
among the masses here, as characterizsa
the ignorant herdes Of Europe at tie
time of the crusades. Yet they blunta
on from day to day, and propose to esF
the climax Of their mistakes by hot<
less and rDiussifable revolution, provides
Kansas becomes q State under the L.
compton Constitution. We can dessTgS
that instrument peacefully and regularly
and should do 50.
We hope that the g boys . have ab0ni
finished their rule here, and viii vacas
the stage for Basa. There is too muca
fght and too little reason and indgneB
in the work Of the /" boys .
the true interests Of that elss
Of our citizens who have families 70 sgf-
port aud business 10 look after, and We
cannot spend their time in the game o.
brag and Huster by attending the tnes-
sand and one conventions in Kansas, %
control their action. Those who are noss
here, make the least noise .
staying at home and attending TO then
own affairs while the boys . are hosi-
ing in political conventions about thea
dear rights-hcw they have been wrong
thus attempting to get up
lighting disposition. And there are joai.
nails always ready TO herald the action o.
thus influenced and contfot
ed. abroad As the will Of the people fairy
expressed. But boys york has sbcu'
rad its day, and we may soon hope 10,
better. The 9orld moves s1a
