True Inwarduess of the Third Party

l.
We have sometimes feared that not Il few of
the leaders of the third party are actuated large
" by political ambition; that their aim and end
are not the triumph of temperance simply, but
personal and political prcfcrmcnt. Their course
has been in entire harmony with this aSsump-
ton. In district after district where one or the
other of the old parties has nominated unqucs-
toned temperance candidates the third party
has thrust its own man in the field, and fire.
4uently elected thereby the saloon candidate.
They have aerided and discouraged attempts to
put either Of the old parties right on the tenn
pcrance question. They seem to glory in the
defeat of Democratic, Republican or non-part-
lSan temperance measures. The Voice, if we
understand its course toward the effort to pass
the prohbitory amendment resolution through
the New York Legislature, and the local option
bill through the New-JerScy Legislature. has not
only not assisted in either case it has discour-
aged the friends of both. If we have mistaken
its attitude we will be glad to make corrcc-
ton. 1t certainly bclittleS and discouraycS the
movement in New-Jersey TO commit the Re
publicanS against the saloon. 1t is true this
movement may not he successful. But its intent
is good. Its spirit is hostile to the saloon. 1t is a
temperance movement; and what is it but party
prejudice that arrays the influence of The
Voice against it: What is it but blind devotion
TO party that prevents our neighbor from help
ing such movements anywhere and everywhere: ::

THE HOPE OF KANSAS.

What a commentary upon the claim
that Kansas City makes that she is the
business, social, political and literary
center of Kansas is the fact that the
Kansas magazine is even to be pub
lished in that Missouri town. The
only hope of Kansas today for any in
dependent future of her own lies in
the promise of Wichita becoming a
great city. Like the satellites about a
principal luminary the old towns OF
northeast Kansas dance to the various
tunes of Kansas City, in the state OF
Missouri. The modicum of state
pride which at one time, i'm degree,
animated the Inhabitants of the dozen
or so northeast counties OF Kansas,
seems to have flown. To read on the
title page of their once literary pride,
"The Kansas Magazine, published al
Kansas City, in the state of Mis-
souri," appears not to disturb the
equanimity of even their representa-
tive journals, as we have noticed no
single word of criticism or protest,
outside of the columns of tho EAGLE.
The EAGLE not only protests, but
promises that within five years Kan
sas shall have n city not only able but
worthy to save the state so humiliat-
ing reflection as the fact that her
principal papers, and her only literary
magazine are printed in Missouri.
