The largest body of people in this coun-
try keeping themselves separate from the
rest of the population are the Mennonites
in Kansas. They are German in language
and customs, though they came from south
ern Russia. They undertook to establish
village life in Kansas, similar to that which
they had left in Europe, the farms running
off from the village in long, narrow strips
but his plan was not found practicable
and the farming is now done in the ordi-
nary American manner. Where the land
is owned in quarter sections, however
four houses are bnilt in the adjacent cor
ners, enabling the inhabitants 10 become
near neighbors As rule, the Mennonites
are richer than the average of western
farmers. They are not communistic, as
has been said though clannish, and op.
posed to mixing socially or in business
with the people around them.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8, 1881.
At Albany.

The contest at Albany does not exhibit
much change. 1t has become apparent
that the great body of the republican party
in the state is opposed to the return o.
Conkling and Plat. but the two ex-sena
tors manage to keep about third of the
republican members of the legislature and
SO force deadlock.
The democrats want to adjourn without
an election and it is thought to be one o.
the very possible solutions that the Conk.
ling men will unite with them and get an
adjournment. The last voting, that o.
yesterday, gave Conkling "a votes out o.
l46 and gave Plat % out of 14S. Depew
had ~, Ii more than Plat.
Of course Messrs. Conkling and Plat
can secure the election of two democrats
or can themselves join the democratic
party, but they will never be "vindicated
by the republican party of New York
They mistook the temper of the peopl,
and where they thought to get approva
have received condemnation.
1t is very possible that to get rid o
Conkling involves democratic victory il
the state, but there can never be permanent
republican success in New York as long
as Mr.. Conking rules the party there,
This may not be suitable reward for his
labors as partisan, but it i. the truth
When the republican party made hin
senator it ruled the Empire state and haC
a majority of the voters there. He per
fected a machine which gradually drove
away voters enough to give the democrats
majority.
Since then republican success in that
state has depended more on machine work
and the within of Mr.. Conkling than upor
tho sohar good of tho people. |
was disgust at the character of republican
machine management that enabled MIR
Tilden to carry that state in 1876 and only
because the democrats had worse ma
chine that the republicans got it back
again.
Party organization and a machine like
that which has worked in New York are
two different things. And it will come to
this that the body of republican voters in
New York city will in the end control the
primaries instead of keeping them in the
hands of regular organizations us has
been the case.
The New York conte st has in it some
thing more than the vindcation or con
domination of Mr.. Conkling. 1t puts on tria
the system of politics that has been used
in New York city for many years by boil
the republican and democratic par les 1t
is a contest between the two methods o.
control of Il party: the one by the body of
the party where the majority have thcil
wey-and the other by few men holding
party places where the mass of the party
is expected to obey the wave of the hand
of the "leader." We think the latter il
the worse system, not only for the
country,b but at least for the party adopting
