The bill which passed the Kansas
senate making the age of consent for
gir's at twelve years, is at
tracing a great deal of attention, and
II is well to note that the press Is
almost universal in condemning the
hoary headed senators who thus gave
iibertine's and seducers an oppoT
tunity to ply their nefarious trade
without let, or hindrance. Kansa:
has made herself foremost in pro
tecting her boys by prohibition, an'
she has preached high morality il
this direction until her less particula
neighbors have been made t
feel the shortcomings wit
a humiliation which reduced ther
to the depths of self abasement. Th
"holier than thou" record of the pr

The admission OF the states OF
North and South Dakota, Washing
ton and Montana will materially
change the present political situation.
Judging by the territorial vote last
year, this quartet of virgin states will
probably be republican in their first
elections. IF this should be the case
the scant republican majority in the
next house of representatives will re-
ceive the addition of four votes. The
United States senate now contains
thirty-nine republicans and thirty
seven democrats. The vagaries of
Riddleberger might at any moment
make the senate tie. By the time
the Fifty-frst congress meets in regu-
lar session the republicans will have
forty-seven senators and the democrats
thirty-seven. Harrison's electoral
vote was 233 and Clevelan1's 1853.
The change of New York's vote would
have gwen Cleveland 204 and Harri-
son 1877. In 1892 the new states will
doubtless have at least seven repre-
.entatives, which with the eight sens'
tors will add fifteen tc
the total electoral vote. II
the republicans should carry
all the senate in addition to the Har
rison states, except Now York, they
would get 212 electoral votes, on the
basis of the present appOrtionment,
and the vote of New York would moi
elect the democratic candidate. Thi:
should not discourage democrats. Il
should only spur them on to more en-
ergetic efforts to protect the people
from dishonest and oppressive taxa
ton for the advantage of favored in
terests and the enrichment of mono
poles aud corporations. 1t is no
probable that the next presidential
election will be fought on the ole
lines. There are signs of pOlitica
revolut ion in the west and south, anC
in the end, if the democratic party il
true to itself, the great body of th'
people. especially in the young vigor
Gus west, will be found with the part,
which most closely adheres to th
principles on which the Republic wa
founded, and from which there ha
been too great a readiness to drif
within the last twenty years.

very jaws Of lecherous scoundrels and
babe them do their worst. No man
living can be made to believe that a
girl of twelve years is capable of re-
sisting the advances of a scoundrel or
that she is responsible for crime for
which she cannot understand the
penalty and for the Kansas sen.
ators to attempt such a high
handed outrage against decency
and the ordinary intelligence OF The
people. is, to say the least, a piece OF
impudence which approaches the sub
lime. 1t is no wonder the women OF
Kansas are up in arms it is no Won
der that they feel that their woman
hood has been insulted that they
feel as if their daughters were cast
among prutes instead of men, and 1t
is no wonder that such papers as the
Kansas City Times are championlng
their cause and will help them by
every possible means. Kansas is a
republican state and boasts of her
progress, but in this matter, her sen
ate members have enrolled them
selves ON the side of not only I'M
morality, but an inhumanliy which
partakes of the dark ages whe"
womanhood was bought and sold at
SO much per head, and it was not even
allowed that she had a soul to save.
1t is indeed to be hoped the House OF
the Kansas State Assembly will kill
the bill beyond redemption, and thus
administer a rebuke to the unprin-
cipled senators which will bring upon
them the scorn of the entire country.
The friends of Parnen in this
country will rejoice greatly that the
Irish leader is about to come out vIc'
torious over his enemies. The London
Times, however, which made the
charges against Parnell and the other
Irish members of the House of Com
mons, seems to have made the mis-
take of believing too implicitly 10 The
statements of the famous Mr.. Pigot
and thus showed that it lacked the
foresight and care which, under SINH
lar circumstances would have marked
q American newspaper of the Times
standing. That the Times, powerful
as it is, cannot crush Psrnell, il evi
dent, and that the faith in the latter
which has prompted so many friend
of the Irish cause 10 rally to bis sup
port in this country, has been just
fed, should cause general rejoicing.

awhat Did Cleveland Dor

The New York politicians now say
that the Naval Officer and Surveyor
in the New York Custom-house will
be allowed to serve out their official
terms. The politicians are not
pleased with the prospect, and do
not hesitate to say that President
Harrison makes them tired. What
did Cleveland do?" has come to be
a byword. One of the high priests
of Republican politics in New York
State explained to a World CORE
spondent to-day the current use OF
the phrase. 1tappears that for some
time past when a politician has
called at the White House to have
a Democratic official removed and
a Republican appointed in his place,
the question the President has al
most Invariably asked was, "What
did Cleveland do?" and if Cleveland
did not make s removal from the
Office in question President Harri-
son holds that he cannot, with any
propriety, be less forbearing. Hence
grumbling politicians go about from
one to another in the hotel Hobbies
and elsewhere, asking or the sly,
"What did Cleveland do?"

The FIRST kick against the APP

comes from the first district. The
complaint is made that the Post
master at Miller, an educated man,
C. 8. Smoot, has been removed,
and an illiterase negro made Post
master, who has to get a man who
keeps bar near by to attend to the
duties. AT huntsville it is claimed
that III. w. Dunn, an educated man,
has been removed as postmaster,
