MAGISTRATES BLANKS for

April 18th.

at meeting of the officers and ex-
ecutive committee of Il e Republican
league of Kansas last Saturday even
ing it was thought advisable to post
pone the State convention of Republi-
can clubs to be held in Topeka tO-mor-
row, until April IL, on account of the
strike then on the Santa Fe railroad.
Since that time, however, the strike
has been declared off and the date for
holding the State convention changed
to Wednesday, March %, and dele
gates notified by the secretary.
1t is 10 be hoped that full attend
ance may be had at this meeting,
which will be the first or initiatOry
step toward a thorough organization of
the party in Kansas for the approach
ing campaign. Where no organiza-
tons in towns or counties have been
effected meetings should at once be
called and delegates elected to attend
| the State convention. Let the R"pub-
Leans of Kansas demonstrate by this
meeting that they are alive to the im-
portance of the hour and prepared foI
a battle with the common enemy OF
progress and advancement-the Demo
cratic party Capital.

The Pension Bill.

The pension measure VIII CHI passed
the Senate last week by nearly two
thirds majority, provides for pension
ing all disabled ex-UniOn soldiers with
out requiring them to prove that their
disability was incurred in the service.
The only proof necessary under the
bill, if it should become law, is that
the applicant served in and was honor
ably discharged from the Union army
and is totally disabled from earning
support. Under the present law ap-
plicantS are required to show to the
satisfaction of the Commissioner of
Pensions that he is disabled, that his
disability is the result of service in the
army, and that he has an honorable
discharge.
There are hundreds of disabled SOL
dIers all over the country. whose dis
ability is due, directly or indirectly, to
exposure while serving in the war, but
it is impossible to make anything like
a positive proof of that fact. 1t is a
hardship to them to be required to make
such proof, and one of the principal
objects of this bill is to do away with
that provision of the law. Not only
can the Government afford 10 deal
literally with its battle-scarred defend
ers. but it is patriotic duty to keep
them in as comfortable circumstances
as possible during the remainder OF
their lives. The report of the Com
missioner of Pensions shows that in
October last there were more than
80 900 Union soldiers and their Deepen
dents in the almshouseS of the country.
This is not crtditable showing for the
nations generosity and gratitude, and
is strong argument in favor Of the
bill now before congress.
The pOor-nOuses Of the country are
not suitable homes for men who gave
their best years to the defense IF their
country-the president of the United
States to the contrary not outstanding.
The service performed was voluntary
and patriotic. 1t is hoped that Amer
lean citizens may Lever again be called
upon to fight for the preservation of
the government; but they may be, and
it will do no harm 10 have it known
hat if such call is made the govern
ment Will deal literally with those who
answer it, when they become bowed
with age and infrmities. Il Emporia

He Can Drop Out.

Will Cleveland back out? No, he
cannot. He backed down on the rebel
battle-flags order, but he cannot shove
his free trade message off on to subOr-
dinate. He was elected on a platform
which says: The Democratic party
is pleged to revise the tariff in spirit
of fairness to all interests. \ 1t
is not proposed to injure domestic in
dustries." Will any sane man say
that the putting of raw materials Oh
the free list, such as wool, iron ore.
etc., will not iDjure these industries?
He has utterly ignored that platform.
lie opposes the repeal of the internal
taxes, which the platform expressly
declares 10 be "a war tax" His party,
also, has thus far ignored that plat
form by neglecting to propose any re-
vision of the tariff laws whatever. AS
says the Democratic New York Word:
1T would certainly not be an alluring
prospect for any Democrat to run fOI
President on a platform of broken
promises and disregarded pledges i'll
relation to tue most important question
before the country"
No, Mr.. Cleveland cannot back out,
but he can drop out, and prominent
Democrats are saying that in due time
he will follow Mr.. Blaine's example by
writing q letter declining to be a can
didate.

The Great Storm.

That was certainly terrible storm
of which we gave all account yesterday
morning in our telegraph columes.
Had it occurred anywhere in the new
states or territories, it must have en-
tailed great deal of suffering and loss
of life both to man and beast. And
had such a calamity befallen any part
of the west, the eastern papers would
have been full of solemn warnings to
persons who contemplate. emigration,
against riSking their lives in such bleak,
unhOsptable lands. The fact is that
storms are about as severe in New
York as in Dakota and far more severe
than they ever are in Kansas. The adj
vantage that the people of New York
have is being better housed. New
York is old, thickly settled and the
houses are substantially built and bu 1t
for warmth. But in newly settled COM
munitieS it is different. Emigrants are
nearly always men of little means or no
means at all. 1t is not an infreQuent
occurrence for a hOmeSteader to land
on his claim with nothing but team,
a few household goods and indomita-
bic energy. Energy takes the place of
capital Oh the plains, but it cannot SO
quickly build a tight house. 1t gets
thee in the end though, as the older
portions of every state in the west
bears witness today.
Another reason why severe storm
occasions serious suffering in Kansas is
that such storms are so unusual here
and the climate is so mild that settlers
often neglect to take such precautions
even as they would in more northern
countries.
All things considered, it speaks vol
umes for the country that severe
storm Can be encountered at all with
out a hundred times more suffering
than ever does result. There is not
state east of the Mississippi river and
north of Mason and DixOn's line into
which a man can go empty handed and
in year or two, by his own efforts, so
protect himself that he will not freeze
10 death in winter. The poor man who
goes into an eastern state must rely on
some one else to furnish his house |
Here he builds his house and owns it |
md the splendid farm on which it |
stands. Jet US be thankful that we |
