A New Era.

In case of the death of Gen. Lsne,
which must certainly occur within few
days. q new political era viii dawn upon
Kansas, and remarkable changes will
soon be brought about. With him will
die the spirit of Jobnsonism iD Kansas.
except what is confined to the stub-end
of Democratic party. The building up
OF johnson party out Of Republican
material in Kansas. was q task to which
even Lane was unequal and no other
man in the State who has the desire. pos,
sessss the nerve or cslibre to attempt it.
But the most marked change will be,
that henceforth every politician who as.
pires to office. will have to stand upon
his own merits instead of Lanes. Here
tofore, when men desired office in Kan
sas. they made no effort to gain favor
with the people. and cared nothing Tor it.
They only stroye to secure the counte.
nance of Lne. and relied exclusively up.
on his influence and efforts to carry them
through. Many persons who have man.
sged to keep 10 prominent positions. have
been possessed Of abilities far below ordi
nary. but have made display wholly
with borrowed light. That light onct
extinguished. they will speedily sink into
obscurity. The controlling power hav'
ing departed. men who aspire to ofic'
must hereafter present merits and quali6
cations Of their own. Men Of principle
and ability. who have hitherto been push
ed into the background. will now rise t.
their proper'positiou; while adventures
tosdies. and pinchbeck politicians with
out number. who have been doing heavy
business upon borrowed capital. will sini
down to their natural level. But thos'
poor souls who followed off blind!y II
support Of johnson. are in the worst pre-
dicament. They are left high and dry
and stand no more chance than thistle
down in whirlwind. 1t is hardly pos
sibls for them to set themselves to right
in time for the next election while mer
who have delayed taking position unit
they should receive official orders. will
find themselves SO far behind that it will
not be worth while for them to start oul
at all.
Let Us hope that in this new era, Kan
sas politics will become purified of it.
loathsome corruption. and that public
men will henceforth strive to serve th.
people, instead of to plunder them.
