The "Sundower State

From the Chicago News.
Kansas is an advanced and progressive
state, peopled and controlled by highly
intelligent and wonderously active
civilization. Kansas has drawn for her
population upon those very sources which
have assured Chicago her pre-eminent
standing before the world. Everywhere
within her boundary lines are to be
best society. Some of the best literature
IN the west has come out of Kansas,
and the newspaper press Of Kansas
has always maintained the highest
standard. We will venture the assertion
that, making just allowances for its age
and its population, there are more costly
private libraries in Kansas than any
other western state.

Nothing has been substituted sfor the
fateful stove for heating passenger cars
by the railroads of the country so far as
we have seen, and now that the season is
here when it becomes necessary to heat
the cars we may expect the horror of
burning to accompany and intensity the
terrors OF railroad accidents which. it
seems, there is no possibility of avoid
ing, Disastrous railroad accidents may
be unavoidable, but substitute for the
stove for heating and the coal oil lamp
for lighting could be provided and

1t is asserted by the New York Sun
that when the ELECTROMAGNETIC bill
was presented to President Cleveland
two years ago he wrote message veto
inc it. He happened to show it to Con-
gresham William L. Scott, one Of the
present members OF the Democratic ma
tional committee Mr.. Scott was fright
ened al the possible consequences OF the
message. and induced the president ia
reverse his decision by saying that New
York would otherwise certainly be lost.
and 20 or 80 seats of congress besides.
In his message OF approval the president
used his own argument as points brought
forward by enemies of the measure, con-
treverting them with arguments from
the other side.

The Fort Scott Monitor, in speaking of
the long expected mortgage document
projected By that distinguished individ-
ual, John N. Galloway, saysSthat ''the
circular purports to show the mortgaged
indebtedness of the several counties of
the state as compiled from the records
by the tools of the Democratic commit
tee. The register of deeds of Bourbon
county states emphatically that no such
figures have been taken from his books
since Galloway issued his instructions.
The figures then must have been made
up falsely, and if it was done in this
county the supposition is very natural
that fraud and misrepresentation was
resorted to in other counties also" Mr..
Galloway and his copartnery may be a
smarter, sherewder set than they are
commonly credited, but what he ex-
poets to gain that will be of advantage
to his party in this mortgage matter that
will not damage his own party as citi-
zens if anybody is injured We are curious
to learn.

Organization in times of peace and

foe to the Republican party desires to
break this organization and to this end
the several foes of the party though
loathing each other have joined hands

Local success, for the minority, means
state success, state success means finally
national success, and as Republicans we
should stand by the standard bearers,
from the president to the humblest Office
within the gift of the people. To place
this county in the hands of the Democ-
racy is to almost disfranchise Sedgwick
county, in state Republican conventions.

vention: These states can not give any

other hand. Iowa and Kansas, with

No,you can bet we didn't The expose
was made solely for the benefit of the
Democratic party which was falling an
innocent victim to the designs of an oath
bound secret order, which order was not
only trying to run the I. L. party, but
whose leaders no doubt named half of
the Democratic candidates for the legis-
lature in the state of Kansas. besides
many of the county candidates. To
come closer home there is a man running
on the Democratic ticket in Sedgwick

the Democrats than he is of the Union
Labor party. Beyond or behind that

WICHITA, KAN, Dec ia remarkable story
is told by merchant from Kngman county.
Near the little village of Bross Kingman
county" he said, lives farmer named Bart
lett with lis family consisting of a son Of 81, a
daughter of 10, and one of g. The domestic
work was done by a negro woman, who was
formerly slave She imagined that she was
hoodooed. The person suspected of having
placed the spell on her was the elder daughter
of her employer, and she informed the girl Of
her suspicion The girl determined to have
some fun out Of the old negress, aud said she
was determined to keep the spell up until her
victim was dead. The negress then commenced
to design means of Kidding herself of this ter
rible spell
"a few nights ago she and the girl were left
alone in the house while the rest of the family
went to a neighbours. The negress attacked the
girl, tied her hand and foot stripped her of all
her clothing, beat her numerically and con.
cluded her revenge by smearing the girls body
with paint She then locked her victim up in
room and disappeared. 1t was not till tbs
following morning that the girl was discovered.
She is now in a critical condition. The negress
has not yet been found"
Another account says the negress. after paint
ing the girls body, tied her up in an old fire
place aud built a fire about her and then fed.
The girl was shortly atterward found by
neighbor and rescued from her perlious posi-.
ton. but she died during the night. The country
is being secured for the negress, and If she is
found, she will be lynched.

Senator Quay Disappointed.

Senator Quay has had his little talk with
Gen. Harrison, but nobody seems to know
whether or not it was satisfactory to him
An Indianapolis special says that the Sena-
tor asked Gen. Harrison to give Mr. John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, cabl-
net position, and that Gen. Ha =
rison very emphatically said he
would not, for the reason thai
Mr.. Wanamaker was a large contributor t.
the republican campaign fund, and il
would be said that he owed his appointment
20 that fact alone. The special further
states that Senator Quay was told that Mr..
Wanamaker would be taken care of hand
somely later on, but there was no use talk
ing about a cabinet position for him.
If what the special states is correct, the
| senator was very much disappointed. He
left Indianapolis with a severe headache
Ir. Wanamaker not only contributed a
large sum himself to assist Sea ator Quay in
capturing the floating vote, but he was in
trumental in getting others 10 subscribe
large amounts. PROBABLY he feels now that If
he should live to take part in another presi-
Dental campaign he would stand aside and
-
buy votes.
II Gen. Harrison is reported correctly, he
doesn't intend to permit Senator Quay,
dr. Blaine, or anybody else, to direct his
administration. He proposes to do the
directing himself. If he refused to appoint
Mr. Wanamaker because the latter had
given many thousands of dollars for cam
paign purpo les the fact is very much TO his
credit. Cabinet positions ought not to be
sold. They are honorable positions and
I should be filed by men who are wholly free
from scandal, and who are not likely to be-
come the subjects of scandal.
MIR. Wanamaker is reported to have said
that he never contributed money to buy
votes. 1t is probable that he did not know
that any of his money would be used in g
corrupt way, and yet no must have sus-
pected it would. The suspicion ought to
have made him hesitate. 1t has been stated
many times that he and few other repub-
leans Of Philadelphia carried 100000 to
Senator Quay a few days before the cleo
lion. What did he suppose would be done
with this immense sunni Had he not heard
he report that the republican managers
had determined TO buy votes in Indiana and
New York; 1t is better that hose who
furnished the cash with which to bride
voters should be permitted to remain in
private life
