POWDERLY AS A LEADER,

Sana Republican.
Master Workman Powderly in an adj
dress at Chicago few days ago stated
that financially the order was in good
condition, that they can pay off their
Indebtedness and have money in their
treasury. The order is struggling to re-
duce the hours of labor to eight. As a
leader of men Powderly has few equals,
and notwithstanding the accusations
made against him, in Chicago he was
.greeted with a large and enthusiastic
audience and frequently loud bursts of
applause rang through that audience of
five thousand. Few men have such a
grasp on their followers as has Powderiy
and he always counsels them to moder-
alton. There is nothing revolutionary
excepting in mild way and the laboring
people of the United States are fortunate
that leader so conservatives Powderly
is at the helm. We wonder if the time will
ever come when Edward Ballamy's
prophecy will be fulfilled in which each
member of the human family will earn
his bread by laboring four hours.

Contrasting the surroundings of the
Russian czar while on a tour of his own
realm, and even attending him on visit
to neighboring protentate, as witness
his present caravansarying tour to the
German capital, surrounded as he is by
q strong armed military body-guard-
contrast these with the extreme SIMPLE
ity of our American president, who goes
and comes at will, alone if he chooses
and never with guard of any kind, and
it is no wonder there is such a yearning
on the part of the common people there
for home in free America, where not
only are the people privileged to follow
their own inclinations in almost every
thing, but their rulers are likewise as
safe among the people as the humblest
citizen.

KEEP GOOD BUTTER.

Gr0cerS Advocate.
If were asked '.What article is most
important in a grocer's stock" would
say butter" There is no doubt about
it. You may have coffee at times that
does not give you satisfaction, or tea
that people will find fault with, or -four
that no one can make decent loaf of
bread of, yet these do not make as much
trouble for the grocer as butter that is
not up in quality. Poor butter will spoil
the best meal you can sit down to: there
fore it Is of the highest Importance that
every grocer should be Judge of butter.
1t will no do, as a rule, to let other peo-
pie do the selecting of it for your trade.
There is great care needed in keeping
butter so that it cannot become impreg-
mated with bad odors. | never keep any
vegetables or cheese in my ice box where
my butter is; and at night before close
the box | put the cover tightly on each
tub after | have carefully placed the
rag with salt on top of the
butter 1t needs care, but ! find it pays.
Since the o!eomargarine law has been
enforced my sales of butter have greatly
increased. | am no longer compelled to
compete with some rascally grocer or
tea dealer, who has the nerve to swindle
people, to the detriment of honest deal
ers. Oleomargarine made more dis
honest dealers than any one thing
ever introduced in the grocery trade.
The temptation was almost irresistible
to many. 1t was safer to deal in and
paid better than counterfeit money. and
the chances of detection were not so
great.
The grocer who gets reputation for
handling fine butter will be successful.
He is apt to be particular in handling
other staple articles He will not neg
lect his tea or coffee trade. but will give
it the same personal attention. Any
grocer who can excel in his selections of
butter, tea or coffee and -four need not
have much fear of failure.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The Worlds Fair convention, held at
st. Joseph, Mo-, last Thursday was well
attended, and the resolutions offered by
the editor of the ST. Louis Republic,
were unanimously adopted. The tenor
of these are in accord with the views OF
the west generally, as shown by the fol
lowing:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that the Worlds Fair of 1892
should be held in some city in the west
which is willing to provide the requisite
means for making it Il grand pageant of
civilization and splendid picture Of the
country's progress.
There is but one thing to fear, and
that is the jealousies that are likely to
spring up between st. Louis and Chi
cago, and to overcome these. the Live
Stock Indicator suggests convention of
representatives from each state west of
the Alleghenies, which shall determine
at just what point in the west tins
worlds fair be held, and then let all
unite upon that point. If st. Louis is
the chosen spot, then Chicago's repre-
sentatives will favor it, and vice versa.
But we must have the worlds fair in the
west, therefore both st. Louis and
Chicago should take to heart the old and
true adage: United we stand; divided
we fall.''' The Indicators suggestion is
a good one. We believe a majority of
the people of the west favor st. Louis,
for reasons already given in these col
umns. but Chicago is powerful rival,
and would probably be able to draw
after her enough of the western support
and influence to effect the defeat of both.
With the west united there is little
doubt that the great exposition can and
will be secured to the place that may be
agreed upon; with both contending as
against New York, the only place that
seems to amount to anything in the con-
test at present, the result would be al
most certain to go against the west.

Five cities in Kansas are now governed
by women. Five women are now serving
rs mayors and twenty-five are on city
councils. Three are performing the diff
cult duties of police Judge A dozen
women are county superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and several are acting as
city clerk and treasurer. In addition to
these large number, probably two hun
dred, are acceptably serving on school
boards.-Atchison Champion.
And yet, to hear the office-seeking sort
tell it, the women are the most outrage
ously oppressed of Gods creatures. 1t
Is not an equal show that they want
but an absolute monopoly of the elective
franchise not only but of the civil offices
as well. OF course they will deny this,
but if the opportunity should ever be
offered the country would see how quick
they would snap at it.

marriage.

Maryland is, we believe, the only state
that maintains the whipping post as a
means of punishment for any sort of
offenses. Public sentiment, that would
cry out against such brutalizing prac-
tees in the name of justice in ordinary
cases, cordially endorses the barbarity
when it IS inflicted on the bare back of
barbarian Of a wife beaten. No sort of
punishment short of death, not except
ing the Chinese method of extorting
confessions from incorrigible witnesses,
j. e. by pinioning them immovably, hand
and foot, and then tickling the nose and
bottoms of the feet with feather, is too
severe for the heather who maltreats his
life companion.

1t is generally understood now that

pointed time. Monday, December ..
The house will accomplish little or moth
ing prior to the holidays beyond effect

cludes the appointment of Its various
committees; and the inevitable two
weeks adjournment over that period
will occur on or about December twenty
third. so that the work of our national
lawmakers will not be fairly inaugural
ed until January. The members of the
house first meet in session thirteen
months following their election, and the
time of many of them will thereafter be
largely occupied in looking after their
fences for the congressional campaign
of next autumn. There has been good
deal of discussion in and out of congress
relative to change of time of the ses-
sions, and it is to be hoped that it will
continue, for almost any departure from
the present arrangement would be an
improvement.

WHAT tiresome lot of fiapdoodle
and senseless hummery we hear now
a-days from those republican organs
that are rebelling against the re-elec-
tion of Senator ingalls,. They base
their opposition to him on the ground
that he has had a good thing long
enough, that three terms are enough
for any senator. and that he should
get out of the way for somebody else.
Just as though the people of the state
held seat in the United States senate
merely as badge of distinction, as a
browning honor to be conferred for a
specified time on some one of their
number, and to be passed around from
one to another like the titular distinc-
tions of civic society. What arrant
nonsense that Is. Who would have
thought of raising the cry of third
termism against Webster, or Clay or
Benton or Sumner2~ But that is not
the real reason of the opposition to In
gals. 1t is only cover for something
else, and shows the cowardice of those
papers that fear to aYow the animus
that controls them.

COLONEL STACY, in "Our State
lays it on pretty freely, as will be seen
from the following animsdversions on
our Kansas congressman. He says:
The trouble is, talk as much as they
please about party principles, about
the tariff, the purity of the ballot, civil
service reform, or even prohibition, the
facts show that party management is
nothing but mad scramble for office,
grim determination to hold the pow
er acquired. Our republican party
cannot be- said to be free from this, while
the democratic party-welI, every child
in Kansas knows what that is. Brave
in the councils of their party, always
ready with an tissue, +" the leaders of
the one party are as ready to trade for
of the other party. With seven mem
bers in republican house and two
members in republican senate, where
has been voice raised for the protec-
ton OF American citizens, without first
asking the politics of the oppressed!
Instead of attending to the affairs of
the nation, it would seem that their at
tention was given to making their seats
in congress more secure. The surest
blow, then, that could be aimed at
any OF these men, If such blow is
contemplated, would be to strike down
these men at home, who assume to
manage our party politics, to cast of
the scum, to scOurgo the hypocrites,
and force forward the good men, who,
in their natural uprightness, have per
mitted themselves to be crowded down
and out of sight by the few men
who make our tickets, who prepare
our platforms, which are often mean
inGless, and who drive us with severe
whip.

A REPUBLICAN MEASURE

The popularity and striking feature
OF the resubmission agitation now
swelling into such menacing proper
lions is that it is being monOpolized by
republicans. and the control and mas
terry of 1t snatchea from the democrats
who have long wished to bring it about.
The jealousy displayed by the republic
cans in this matter shows how enam-
ored they are become all at once of the
idea. They must take it in hand, they
must champion the cause, they must
forestall the democrats and rob them
of the credit of an enterprise that
promises to revolutiOniZs things in the
state. Consequently we read that
wherever resubmission clubs are
formed and the propaganda s, up, the
shibboleth is hung out, No democrats
need apply" At Wichita and Leaven-
worth where the greatest enthusiasm
prevails, the membership of the clubs
which run up into the hundreds,
is composed entirely of leading repub-
licans, lawyers, doctors, judges, all
manner of professional men, bankers,
manufacturers and representative
business men. Only the best men in
the party are admitted to membership.
Democrats ask IN vain to be permitted
to add their names to the lists of the
favored ones. Is that not little sing
ular? Now what does it att mean?
To what does it point? Simply to this:
that as the republican party is respon-
sible in this state as in so many others
that have tried and repu-
dated prohibition, SO it thinks
that to it belongs the right to
resubmit it to vote of the people 1t
proposes to share none of the honor
and credit of the enterprise with dem
Ocrats. AS they had no hand in es-
tablishing prohibition, so shall they
have none in resubmitting it.
OF course this is situation
upon which democrats can look
with great deal OF COM
placency and satisfaction. What
they have wanted to do for years, they
now see republicans falling over each
other in their eagerness to do. That
for which they have been sneered at
caricatured, vilifed and and abused.
is now rapidly becoming cardinal vir-
tue with many leaders of the dominant
party. It is no longer fashionable to
allude to them as ''rum-soakedn ennis
saries of Satan, when such men as
Judge Foster and Congressman Per
kins stand upon similar ground. They
are not such immoral and besotted
fellows after all. But-and this is
what will worry those ardent souls
who honestly believe that there can be
no salvation for man without pIohibi-
<ion-whatever democrats may say or
think about it, they must get out of
the way and let the republican party
handle this thing. If they made mis-
take in the first place, it is their duty
to correct it. To suffer democrats to
come forward with remedy. is too
cowardiy to be thought off In the Ian
