THEY DIDN'T AMALGAMATE.

Arkansas City Dispatch.
Several of the delegates who attended
the Democratic congressional convention
at Fredonia last week wanted to join In
with the Union Labor party and nomin-
ate candidate for congress. upon whom
they could all unite 1t is just little
difficult to see who that man could be by
scanning the political horizon and taking
in, with the sweep of an impaired men
tai vision. the different stars claiming the
distinction of being the brightest, but
that is just what some Of them wanted
to do. We are informed that at one
time it looked as though such a scheme
would be attempted, but it was knocked
into continental hat by CONVEY
county delegate. who said: Boys. we
tried that last fall and helped to elect
Jim Connor Sheriff, and we don't wan.
any more mixing up with the so-called
labor party. When we attempt TO mix
with them they always float TO the top
and we go to the bottom to play with the
crawfish and the poliywogs." This
speech settled the amalgamasion PROPOSE
ton. so they nominated a man who
could not be accused of having any SYM
pathv with the union labor party or
those who belong to il.

INGALLS, LETTER.

ingalls, wrote a letter, and terrible
howl has been set up over it. 1t was a
private letter, intended for the eyes only
of friend. 1t expressed private opin-
ion touching certain candidates, which
private opinion was no more harsh than
the average private opinion entertained
and expressed daily by both private and
public citizens touching candidates. Men,
every day, of all parties, say privately
harder things of candidates of their own
party and of candidates who are their
neighbors and associates than can be
found in ingalls, famous Bonebrake let
ter. Nine Democratic politicians out of
every ten entertain and express privately
to their chums harsher opinions of Pres
ident Cleveland, by far, than ingalls, did
of the men whose names he mentioned.
Ingalls, is not god, but a man, and a
Kansas man at that, given to plain
speaking, and for one, we are tired of
the hog wash that is being daily emptied
out over letter which is in no way
startling in language Or spirit, and which,
in the main, represented the beliefs of
large number of Kansas Republicans,
vino thought it would be suicidal to
nominate anybody except such men as
Alger or Gresham or some other man
with slight and unpronounced political
history, and his personal enemies in
Kansas who count on that letter po-
litically downing him or materially af-
fecting his standing as a Republican are
going to get left.

The Leavenworth Times pronounces
unequivocably in favor of the one term
idea, as far as the position of governor
is concerned. 1t says that any man
elected to that position should be willing
to stand aside after having served his
state for two years. that the honors may
fall to some other deserving citizen.
The Times quotes the unanswerable ar
gument in favor of the proposition, l. e.
that 1.-The practice generally obtains of
using one term IN the executive chair as
a mere stepping stone to another, which
is TO be deplored, as such condition
can have but one reSult-the subservi-
ency of the states best interests TO the
practical perpetuity of the individual.
any Of the states restrict the occu-
pancy of the governors chair to one
term, and some go farther than that and
prohibit the governor from becoming
candidate for any other position during
the continuance of his term. Some OBJ

TWO STATESMEN.

Bismarck is generally regarded as the
greatest statesman in all Europe. En-
gland for centuries struggled with the
Irish question, which involves the unity
of the British isles, and during all this
time she has produced no statesman
strong enough to solve the vexed ques-
ton, or at least strong enough to induce
the government to solve it. What En-
glish statesmen have failed to do for
Great Britain, Bismarck has done for
Germany. The unity Of the German
people has not only been secured by this
great minister, but it has become more
firmly established every year since King
William received the imperial crown.
The views of this great statesman upon
any political question are worthy of the
highest consideration. In his speech to
the German reichstag, recommending
the adoption of a protective tariff, he
made the following statement:
The success of the United States in ma
terial development is the most illustrious
of modern time. The American nation
has not only successfully borne and sup
war of all history, but Immediately after
ward disbanded its army, found work for
all its soldiers and marines, paid OFT most
of its debt, given labor and homes to all
the unemployed of Europe as fast as they
could arriye within its territory, and still
by a system of taxation SO indirect as not
to be perceived. much less felt. Because it
is my deliberate judgment that the pros
parity of America is mainly due to it's sys-
tenn of protective laws 1 urge that Ger
many has now reached that point where it
is necessary to initiate the tariff system of
the United States.
In his message Mr.. Cleveland plainly
tells the workingmen of this country
that the high wages they receive are a
delusion and a snare. He then proceeds
to argue at length to the laboriHg man
that it is better for him to receive low
wages for his work, under free trade in
raw materials, because he can buy SO
much more with dollar a day when
he has free raw materials, than he can
now with two dollars dav This is the
argument of the man who puts himself
forward (for he forces himself on the
party as the greatest statesman in
America
1t is somewhat singular that disin-
terested observer of our system of in
dustrial and political economy, who is
universally acknowledged to be the
greatest statesman in all Europe, should
entertain views so Numerically op-
posed to those of the greatest statesman
in all Buffalo.

The Democratic party in its platform
plants itself directly upon President
Clevelands message on tax questions,
and he explicitly declared that the pres
ent government tax upon tobacco hurts
nobody and ought to be maintained, The
Republican party with equal plainness
declares in favor of repeating the tax
upon tobacco. which are an annoyance
and burden to agriculture" Here is a
direct home issue. 1t is clear and une-
quivocal Should the internal revenue
tax be taken off tobacco and its sale be
made free, or should the present govern
ment supervision continue: Forced into
raising money to save the country, the
inquiSitorial tobacco tax was adopted. Il
isn't wanted now. It's revenue is super
iluous and its methods are hateful, and
Its results are injurious to the farmers.

The free whisky cry is the cry of two
classes-cranks and demagogues. The
prohibition convention resolved against
the whisky tax, but these ''new light
reformers believe that the government
should get its revenue chiefly from in

theory the less the consumption of whis-
ky the poorer the government, and the
larger the crop of drunkards the richer
