SENATOR PLUMB.
Larned Chronoscope.


Senator Plumb is perhaps more essen
TALLY a kansan than any other who has
had the honor of sitting in the halls of
congress as the exponent of the State.
Identified with the struggle of her early
history, pioneer ON her extreme from
tier, he has watched and grown up with
her unfolding civilization, until the
grandeur of her position among States
of the Union, and her wonderful posi-
bilities have become crystalized in him,
which, when the occasion offers, will
scintillate with all the irresistible logic
Of which he is capable, Frank, fearless
and unShaking in debate-withOut pos
sessing elOquence in an eminent degree
but GOliah in augmentation, he will
be listened to with an earnestness that a
mere grandlloquence cannot command.
The most conclusive argument In the
whole Presidential campaign in the
State, we heard from him, and while it
was LITERALLY devoid of any flight, or
attempted flights of rhetoric to work
upon the sensitive imagination of his
audience, it was throughout, a forcible,
nervous and vigorous statement of facts,
which carried conviction, in spite of a
host of prejudices that his listeners NAV
have entertained. The man is a repre-
sentative-in the brOadest Interpretation
OF the term-of that western civiliZa-
ZION which today demands, and COM
mands, the respect of the nation and
which is making itself felt in the econo-
my of the government. A civilization
without affectatiOn or pretension, neither
puritanical, conceited or over pragmati-
cal, but candid and natural, calculated
to meet the demands of the progress of
the age, and indelibly stamped with
the evidences of the intelligence of
America. This is what the west be-
lieves in, and we think Kansas has sent
senator to congress who represents it,

POLYGAMY MUST GO.

Mr.. SeatoD, the congressional delegate
from Utah says there is great consterna-
tion in Utah, over the recent decision of
the supreme court and its probable effect
npon Mormonism. This decision, which
was delivered on the 9th, declared that
polygamy is a crime against the laws
of the United States, and that the law
prohibiting bigamy or polygamy is con-
stitutiOnal. Mr.. Cannon says the Nor
mons will accept this decision as final,
and will not, he thinks, contest the mat
ter further. If pOlygamy was a crime
against the laws of the United States, of
course the people of Utah would not con-
tinue to practice it. He is of the opin-
ion that there will be no more polyam-
Gus marriages from this date, but it
would be, he believed, very unjust for
the government to prosecute every man
in Utah who had more than one wife
married to him before this decision was
made. 1t would break up their family,
destroy their homes, leave women and
children helpless and without protection,
and destroy their prosperity. These men
had taken their wives in good faith, ac-
cording to their religion, and the women
had married religiously, without any in
tentiOn to violate law, and he thinks this
should be considered. Mr. Van Zile, of
Michigan, who was United States Attor-
ney for the territory, had no sympathy
with them, and, he feared, would push
the prosecutions. Mr.. Cannon hoped,
however, that Congress would pass law
TO prevent this decision from having a
retroactive effect, and that those who had
married prior to Jan. 9, the date which
it was announced, would be allowed to
live as they had been living until their
death, and that only those who married
more than one wife hereafter should be

Very little is said about it on this side
of the line, but Canada rs building a
Pacific railroad that may some day play
an important part in the trans-continen-
tai trade OF this country. The line as
mapped out is to extend from Montreal
through Ottawa, around the northern
shore of Lake Superior, across the Sas-
katchewan river, and through a natural
pass in the rocky mountains to Butte In
let on the Pacific coast-2,916 miles IN
all, and most of the distance unbroken
wilderness. A large amount of money
has been expended in preliminary work
The cars are running from Thunder Bay
on lake Superior 100 miles west, and
several hundred miles of the proposed
line are under contract. English capt
tai is being invested, and it is clearly
evident that English capital will play
an important part in the near future in
the internal transportation and COM
merce of this continent.

1t is reported that another rival of the
Western Union is TO take the field
Congress will be urged TO pass bin
this session that will allow railroads to
combine in the formation of telegraph
company under national charter. 1t
Is said the great trunk lines, with the ex-
lception of the New York Central and
its tributaries, will combine and COM
pete with the Western Union at an early
day. Vanderbilt, who is the greatest
single stakeholder in the Western Union,
will not of course, enter the scheme
with the New York Central. 1t is un-
derstood that the Western Union has a
surplus of over $2O,OOO.OOO. With this
amount of capital it will swallow any
company that may be formed
The railroads, however, base their
own lines up and run them any way, and
they ought to do business at rates tina

In an editorial sketch OF Hon. Sidney
Clarke, who has just been elected speaker
of our House of Representatives, the
Atchison Daily Champion remarks:
Then the men who had waged such II
relentless war against him declared that
he was not only dead, but buried, and
proceeded to write his epltaph and hold
dance upon his political grave"
And yet Mr.. Clarke is under some OBJ
legations to some of those very men who
waged war upon him some years ago
They did not fight Sid. because they dis
liked HIM personally, but because of his
way of running things. They admired
his energy and ability. Among this class
there was "let up" toward Clarke,
which was manifested when he was an
applicant for the marshalship. Many of
his old political enemies signed his APP
plication, and did all they could to aid
him. The ''hatchet is buried, ~ and many
of his old enemies are with him and de-
sire his success We hope Mr.. Clarke
will "bide his time" and avoid some of
the disastrous snags in the political stream
which be ran against in times gone by.
