KANSAS ALL RIGHT.

The following was sent out from Kan
sas City to the associated press, on
Monday: KANSAS CITY, Jan, 16.-To
whom it may concern-SenSational Sto-
ries of suffering in Kansas have been
telegraphed over the country lately
which, grossly misrepresenting the
facts, are an injustice TO that state.
When these rumOrs were first set afoat
the Times sent special correspondent
To the districts which were said to be
suffering. They investigated the stu
alton thoroughly and l am therefore
enabled to tell just what the facts are.
The weather in Kansas has not been I'M
usually severe this winter. A few weeks
ago there was scarcity OF coal in some
quarters, owing to the inability of the
railroads to furnish cars, but happily.
an abundance of fuel was provided be-
fore cold weather came. AS to general
suffering in Kansas, it has existed only
in the minds of irresponsible CORES
pondents. There has been large i'm
migration during the past year, and
naturally there are Soa@e few cases of
restitution, which have been promptly
cared for in the communities where
they have occurred. All things consid-
er. Kansas is having a satisfactory
winter with fine prospects for big crops.
1t is IN very much better condition
than any other newly settled territory.

Hypocrisy has been personified, and
has taken the name of Eugene Hale
that same Hale of Name, who swears by
Blaine. Think of Hale worshipping
Blaine and criticising Cleveland. Think
OF the devil taking bath IN holy water
Think of Blaine having an idea that
was not open to a suspicion of trickery.
Think how many democrats were ap-
pointed to Office during the quarter of a
century in which the republican party
mis-ruled the country, and then think
of the hypocrisy concentrated in the
howl over the removal of few repub-
licans leeches. The cry of ''civil service
reform" from such man as Hale is too
gauzy. 1t puts us to surmising about
what the republicans would do if they
had a choice. We are certain that if
Blaine were elected president, In SIX
months no democrats would lie in Office
under him. and 1t makes us tired to
think that Cleveland has been in nearly
three years, and has several thousands
Of republicans still in office. Turn the
rascals out, and do 1t quick. Weaken
the enemy all you can, and let him
howl. When we hear bowling we know
somebody is hurt, and the more they
howl the better we sleepOf nights.

Bill Chambers bill, introduced into
the senate. to regulate the congressional
elections in the states Of South Carolina,
Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi by
appointing modern supervising
board" in each district and creating a
lot of other unnecessary political
machinery. it is thought Will have the
effect Of solidIfying the south on the
tariff issues. The Richmond Dispatch,
which is quite inclined TO quarrel with
the president and his policy as to the
reduction of the surplus, now says:
what do tariff views, or anti-silver
notions, or any other such objections
amount to when we consider that he
stands up for the defense of the rights
of the people against the diabolIcal plot
tings OF the republican rascals p
What are higher or lower customs dut-
les or the silver question when contrast
ed with the all-important question as
to whether we shall have friendly or
hostile administration in power at
Washington? Is there any inconsistent
cy In voting with our friends rather
than with our enemies?" And the
Louisville Courier-Journal is even more
pointed. 1t says: "If there is a south
ern state inclined, on the appeal Of Mr..
Blaine, to leave the democratic party
that inclination is destroyed by Mr..
Chambers proposed revolution. 1t will
never he possible for the republican
party, on any issue, to secure the vote
of any southern state until, in deed as
well as in profession, it is ready to
acknowledge the perfect equality of
every state in the union and binds itself
To leave Louisiana and South Carolina
as free to manage their local affairs as
are Rhode Islard and New Hampshire. >

New York Times lInd.l; "FoF years
thepolicy OF the republican party on the
tariff question has been shaped in ser
vile obedience to the requirements of
protected manufacturers because they
furnished the money for campaign ex-
penses. Every vOiGe raised within the
party against this odioHs tyranny has
been stified. and thousands OF men too
honest and too proud to be silepced
have been driven from the ranks. And
to-day, among the most blatant of the
Blaine-orsbusters who howl over the
menace TO the farmers by the repeal of
the wool duty. are those who have grown
rich raising sheep on lands stolen from
the people OF the United States. There
is no element ia the politics of this
