IT was considered by the administra-
ton that the clamor for an extra ses-
sion of congress was raised principally
by the friends of some Of the candi-
dates for speaker of the house. AS
the president could see in the present
condition Of the nations finances no
urgent need for legislation, he very
wisely concluded that tOcall an extra
session would be interpreted by some as
favOring some particular candidate for
speaker. 1t was, therefore. considered

tors before the regular time. and the
question of doing 50 was dismissed for

ABOUT THAT aEBRLLEon.

If the NEWS has ssslammedr the
Murdoch rebellion, as it is accused of
doing by the Wichita Eagle, it is not
because we believe that miIlenia1 con-
dition Of things exists in the state. Not
at all. 1t is freely admitted that some
things could be greatly improved, and
some very desirable reforms effected
But this can be said Of every state in
the union, can it not? Until men be-
come angels, there will be wrongs and
iDjustices to complain Of. There viii
always be room for reform, as well as
a demand for it. To urge reforms in
this state is to do a very legitimate
thing. No one should complain Of
that. The NEWS does not. It sim
ply suggests that instead of growing
at things as they are, and talking
about ''rebellions'' and so forth, the
Eagle should point out the specific
wrongs that need to be righted, and
propose suitable remedies. In other
words, agitate specific reforms calmly
and dispassionately. If no attention
is paid to you, then rebel. You reverse
the common order and rebel, or rather
talk about rebellion before the ground
work has been laid for it. You are
like the fellowz Goldsmith sneered at,
Instead of marrying and rearing
family, he remained bachelor and
''Oniy talked of populations. !"
Up to date, no one can tell what you
are rebelling against. Is it any won
der that ridicule has leveled its shaft!
at your rebellion? Know that, unless
you quit kicking and croalzing, and tel
us just what ails you or the state
you will accomplish nothing. Qui
firing in the air. and direct your ain
at some particular object. Concentrate
your efforts on the attainment of som,
specific reform, or you will continue t.
be laughed at, and your so-called re
bellion will end in smoke.
The late legislature? Wen, every
body admits that it was a poor con
Germ. 1t had its day, and fretted it
little hour upon the stage. 1t is gon
to return no more. Let it rest il
peace. The poor thing had its shar
of abuse and censure. Why kee
it up? Will that make the next legis
lative body any better? After all, VIII
is to blame for such weak bodies? /
it not the people who elect them. An
is it not quite sure that the next legii
lature will contain as many wind-bag
and demagogues as the last2 Unit
the people grow wiser, and more dis
criminative in their choice of men an
policies, it will continue so. 1t is uI
fortunate that it should be so, but "
submit that rebelling against pre-ol
dained condition of things is not tn
best way to remedy it.

some Pertinent Remarks About smut
MIN that should be Suppressed.

MIL that should be suppressed.
There is smut mill at the corner of
Fourth and Commercial that is dis
grace to the city. 1t is rank with all
manner of foulness, and should be sup
pressed as common nuisance. While
it was in the hands of McCown it was
descent and well behaved. 1t is now
in the hands of the Lord knows whom.
One De Hamer is said to be its owner
and proprietor, and fellow called
Bump, its local news gatherer. It
appears to have no editor. Who De
Hamer is or where he is,no one knows.
He has never been seen in the city. AS
for Bump or 6ump. or whatever his
name is, he appears to be an ignorant
and well nigh illiterate fellow who ar
rived in town about ten days ago. We
understand that he informed certain
gentleman that De Hamer sent him
here to pitch into The rings and cliques
of this city and stir up things general
". Z. l.. Turner whose name

or business manager of the concern,

blackguardism and scurrility with

in the weekly and job Office.

and denounced and ridiculed
them in coarse, vulgar phrase. The
city officials from the mayor and coun-
Gil down, have received their share of
its mud and 1lth. The business men of
the city who would not advertise with
it, have been Knocked and ridiculed by
it. The churches have been stigmatized
as leeches that sap its life blood. Ey-

TANNER said at Milwaukee that
cases came under his observation every

skins OF their virtue' in order TO get a

case: A soldiers widow remarked.
Her husband died leaving three young
children on her hands. In order to
have her pension restored, she swore
that the children were all illegitimate.
For the sake of a pension, she dis
graced them as well as herself for life.

News and the Republican are practi-

that, and that is, the smut mill lies.

OF course he exercises the same privi-

very well. We do not propose to put

sort, and once for all correct this mali

| Our object in noticing the smut
mill maybe said to be two
fold. To place ourselves right,
and to warn the public against contin-
uing such degrading and scandalous
nuisance in the city. 1t is read else
where and our character as city dam
aged. If its scandaious connections
and defamatory charges against hon

COLUmRIA Reaching ron THE
Asp

ASP.
Pat Grant the railroad laborer, has
published in last weeks America, an
article entitled, columbia Reaching
for the Asp" The Asp represents
the horde of European laborers sharked
up on the continent by the agents of
INSCRIPTIONS and greedy corporations
in this country. Grant is an accom-
plished writer, although day laborer.
We give the following, the concluding
portion of his article, as a sample. He
says:
What wonder that the ignorant
foreigner, coaxed from across
the ocean, when asked to become a
citizen, should say, and he
would say il he knew how, in these
words, II asked for liberty and you
gave me the lash. / asked for pro-
lection and you allowed me to be
robbed. 1 wanted equality and you
called me dog. l sought and FL Do
RADIO and found Castle Garden. Be
gone / say; a plague on both your
housesl" What is, therefore, going on
all over the country. is the pres
ervation of racial distinction. Where
the Ger mans are majority of the
| taxpayers, they demand the right to
perpetuate their language at the ex-
pense of the state. Catholics in like
manner are condemning the public
schools, and are demanding endow-
ments for separate schools, and each,
/ we must admit, are offering very just
and plausible reasons from the narrow
standpoint of sectional isolation. The
hordes forget George Washington in
their exaltation of the military proves
of Charles XII, or of GustaYuS Adolf
plus. The Poles perpetuate the spirit
OF ceaSeleSS strife which wiped their
country from separate existence of
the map of Europe. Why, our cOun-
trymen, who call themselves more
American than other nationalities
already speak of the commercial cap
ital of the country as the thirty-third
county in Ireland, yet it is as Irish
they vote, Irish issues they support,
and Irish speakers who stir theiI
blood. The politicians well know the
extent to which this insularity is in
grained in the people, because they al
way make up piebald slate, embrac
ing representatives of every national
ity. Look wherever you will, select
whatever nationality you please, they
are all but little colonies planted il
America, led and controlled by lead
erS who preserve and perpetuate thi:
insulation for political and selfish pur
poses. TO the sure anu ultimate u6-
