A Spasm of Virtue.

The Democratic party has declared
it unconstitutional to tax the people
more than is necessary ito meet the
wants of the government economically
administered" This great generation
for the written law of the land is not a
new thing for this old party. There
are people now living, not the oldest
Inhabitants either, who can remember
that this same thing troubled them
when the life of our Nation was men
aced by hordes of Rebellion. They
then declared that it was unconstitu-
tional to defend the life of the Union
against internal foes, while admitting
it's right to defend itself from foes
without. Here's logic of high order
and shows one or two things, that either
the members of the Democratic party
were traitors at heart, or else they were
lost in dismal swamp of Inconsistent
cies and contradictions. If the law of
self-preServatlon for person or ma
ton doesn't involve both the right to
defend itself from attack at home and
abroad, then there is no force in logic.
What consummate folly it would be to
argue that man had right to defend
his home from the midnight assassin
but if attacked by some member of his
own household he must fold his arms
and submit to having his throat cut,
because the law didn't mention specifi-
cally this form of attack or danger.
The Democratic veneration for the
Constitution is very pathetic at times,
and is enough to draw tears from a
chrome of jeff Davis.
Protection to home Industries is
strictly in the line of self-preservation
for the nation and the individual, while
free trade, the twin corner stone of the
Confederacy would blast and ruin both
as by a deadly paralysis.

Street Politics,

An exchange gets right down to the
bottom of things when it says:
The less man knows about politics,
or for that matter. about any subject
on earth, the more certain he is to want
to let the world know of his ignorance.
1t is a common fact that those men
have the most superficial knowledge of
political affairs and rely entirely on
catch phrases and the campaign Sian.
ders which are put aflOat are the ones
who delight to congregate on street
corners, and discuss the affairs of the
nation. 1t is not that they expect to
convince any person else that the theO-
ries they are so pat with are the right
ones, but they have an over-weening
desire to make folks imagine the sum
of all smartness and political shrewd-
ness lies in their small brains and that
the political world could not move one
inch if they should by any inscrutable
providence be compelled to turn their
toes up to the daisies. There is no
more foolish pastime INDUCED in by the
American people than this noisy, bois-
ferrous and Intellectual one of discussing
politics on the street corners. 1t is a
practice which ought to be prohibited
in every well conducted city as nuis-
ance. There is nothing gained by it.
and men Of information and good sense
do not often indulge in it.

Ralph Easley, of the Hutchinson
News, speaking of the Prohibition con-
vention says:
The third partyites take great pleas
ure in calling themselves cranks, The
erroneous idea having entered their
craniums that crank ''turned some
thing" Said Colonel st. John, Il am
proud to be called a crank. l think nc
more appropriate or honorable title
could be given u.s.
The ex-orator is right, no more ap-
propriate name could be given to third
party people of Kansas. A crank turns
nothing, but is itself turned by any
power that has occasion to take hold of
it. A crank is simply tool.
The third partyites in Kansas are in
truth and fact cranks, ard are just
now being twisted by the Democrats,
every whisky organ and every would.
be saloon keeper in the State.
Not word of condemnation can be
heard escape the lips of Democrat or
a whisky dealer. They all approve the
"crank" doctrine because they have a
foothold on the handle of the Click
windlaSs doing the turning.

The Bull Run of 1888.
Hypocrisy Exposed.

The hypocritical can't of the free
trade Democrats, who say they want to
relieve the burdens of the laboring
man by taking the duties off the neces-
saries of life, was pitilessly exposed in
the House. Mr.. Dingley offered an
amendment to the Mills bill, fixing the
duty on sugar at exactly one half what
it is now. Sugar is universal neces-
sary of life; it is on every table in the
land. The present duty is 80 per cent,
yielding a revenue of S5S,OO0,0 900 last
year. Mr.. Dingley's amendment would
make it Al per cent. and reduce the rev.
enue %, 100000 of dollars, and yet the
notable ''tax-reducers" voted solidly
against it. Why?
Because they are not honest. While
whimpering about the awful burdens
of protective tariff on a poor man,
they are ready to jump on the labOring
element of this country at the nod of a
few Louisiana sugar planters. Because
hatred of protection is their dominant
principle, they favor only such revis-
ion of the tariff laws as will strike
down the safeguard of the home pro-

Those Democratic editors who have

They had several columns of brag

John A. would vote for the infamous

showed his abundance of good sense
and voted against it, their sweetness
was turned to gall and they have fairly

Among the various officers to be Sc
lected by the Republicans at the county
convention called for September Sth, is
representative from the 6Sth district.
This district is now represented by
Hon. HARRISON FLORA, of Flora
township. Mr.. FLORA has served but
one term and he has ably and faith
fully represented his constituency.
By his untiring zeal and answering
integrity he has won for himself the
respect and esteem of the entire legis-
lature in which he served, and his work
has the approval of the people of his
district. Mr.. FLORA Is one of the
people. He is engaged in the same
kind of business as three-fourths of
his constituents. He knows the wants
and needs of the agricultural commu-
nifty which he represents. He has
made their wants and wishes his chief
study, and his influence and votes have
ever been on the side of the people as
against the entertainments of corpora
lions and monopolies. We do not
know Mr.. FLORA's desires or inten-
tons in regard to a second term.
But If Mr.. FLORA consents that his
name shall again go before the conven-
ton we believe he will receive the
unanimous support of the Republicans
Of the 6Sth district.
