WILL PROMISE THE EARTH.

The cloven hoof of the whiskey power is
already to be observed kicking resubmis-
sion into prominence. \ Milwaukee
brewer has promised Wichita n million
dollar plant as soon as it can be legally
placed there. Topeka Capital.
That's another lie. When the repre-
sentatives of any cause resort to mis-
representations that cause is in a bad
way. There is only one way, one chan
mel that any million dollar thing could
be offered to Wichita and that channel
is Wichita's board of trade. No such Of
fer and no proposition or hint of such Of
fer has been laid before that body.
The board of trade of Wichita con-
sists of upwards of two hundred of her
monied men, the business of which
board is conducted by directory of
twenty-five men. Among those twenty
five men there is not single whisky
guzzler. Eighteen of the twenty-five
are openly for resubmission and nobody
knows but that five out of the remain
ing seven are also.
No less than hundred papers have
their batteries turned on the EAGLE and
on Wichita, and lies and misrepresenta-
tons and all the wiley methods of the
ring politicians will be resorted to with
out boubt. But when it comes to such
papers as the Capital and other repre-
sentative papers generally they must
stick to the truth,

THE FORCE POLICY.

The sober. hard-headed political fact
that resubmissonists might AS we'll
comprehend now as later on, is that the
majority of the peope OF this state who
believe in the prohibition law are not going
TO resubmit this question as matter of
sentiment To please the minority The
repeal of the constitutional amendment on
this subject will only be submitted when
there is an overwhelming majority of the
state legislature sent there by the people
for that purpose.-Topeka Capital.
That is Just the sort of spirit that
was exhibited by the st. John crowd
about the time that distinguished traitor
to the Republican party was forced
upon us as candidate for Governor
the last time, and ii that policy is per-
sisted in now. a similar result is sure to
follow. If there are majority of the
people of this state opposed TO the repeal
of the prohibitory amendment. what
harm would result if the question was
resubmitted: Suppose that the people of
the state are compelled to take the mat
ter in hand and elect legislature fav-
orable to resu omission, what kind of a
legislature will it be? They were forced
to take st. john in hand, and George
Washington Click reign was the result.
Would it not be better for the Republican
party TO resubmit the question and have
it voted upon separately than to allow il
TO be made political question at a
general election: We think so. As we
said. this is a question that the Republi.
can party must meet. and the sooner II
is met and disposed OF the better.-An-
thony Republican.

A JUST DECISION.

A short time ago the city council of
Leavenworth passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting the sale of fresh meats in that
city unless the animal should first be in
spected there before being slaughtered.
A local dealer named Harold was ar
rested for violating the ordinance, Che
sold Kansas City dressed meat and on
Saturday last was arraigned before
Judge Pierce for hearing. The judge
decided that the ordinance is framed in
the interest of class and not for the
public good. The opinion of the court,
as given in the Times, is in substance as
follows:
ITO apply the principle of the ordi-
nance to one article of food while all
others are free from like pro-
visions is manifestly opposed to COM
mon sense. AS Judge Pierce remarks,
carried out to its logical extent, the the
DRY of the ordinance would compel that
flour should be inspected In the field. to-
matoes, beans and peas in the garden,
and pears and peaches in the orchard-a
reducio ad absurdum which effectualy
demonstrates the impracticabiliCy of the
theory, whose logical operation would
limit the supply of foodstuffs to each
locality. Social chaos would result.
The ostensible object of the ordinance
is the conservation of the public health.
In so far as it prevents diseased and I'M
wholesome meat from being sold. it is
not only wise provision. but one essen
tial to the public health. But when it
has done this it has reached the limit of
its functions When it debars meat
proved to be perfectly healthy and every
way wholesome solely because this meat
was not killed here, its provisions be-
come the Ubiquitous and arbitrary legis-
lation in the interest of the few and as
against the many. Such legislation is
opposed to the American system of feir
play and detrimental to the public
good"

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INVENTORS.

General Beuet. chief ordinance of the
army, has directed the attention of
American inventors TO great oppor-
tunity. of which they should not be slow
to avail themselves. We have no smoke
less" powder such as European armies
are being provided with, and conse-
Quently the introduction of rifles of
small calibre in our service is delayed
The French Lebel rifle. which is praised
as the most efficient of these weapons, is
SO light as TO seem almost like q toy in
comparison with the arm used by our
infantry. The chief of ordinance has
reason TO believe, he says, that the inven-
ton, the advantages of which are now
enjoyed by European powers to our ex-
clusion, is really of American origin.
and that we have lost for the time being
the fruits of our own ingenuity through
lack of liberality on the part of bur gov
eminent. However this may be there is
little room TO doubt that our inventors
will soon place us abreast with other
nations, and that whoever successfully
solves the problem of small arms amuni-
ton will be appropriatelv rewarded.

THE F1FTY-F1RsT CONGRESS.

The political complexion of the next
congress. particularly the senate, is a
matter of considerable interest on ac-
count of the continued narrow margin
of difference between the two parties.
The terms Of twenty-six of the seventy
six members of the Fiftieth congress
thirteen Republicans and thirteen Demo-
crats-explred last March. Of these,
Barbour, a Democrat, succeeded Riddle
berger, a Republican, from Virginia,
and Higgins, Republican, succeeded
Salisbury, Democrat, from Delaware.
Thus the political complexion of the
chamber was left unchanged, and
it stands today: Democrats, thir-
ty-seven; Republicans. thirty-nine.
When congress meets again, however,
eight new senators will present their
credentials-six Republicans from North
and Sou.h Dakota and Washington, two
Democrats, possibly. from Montana. Then
the senate will have eighty-four members,
divided into thirty-nine Democrats and
forty-fve Republicans.
The senate is divided into three classes.
Of the present senators the terms of
twenty-five expire in March, 1891,
twenty-five in 1898 and twenty-six in
1898. The eight new senators from the
new states will be divided into three
classes by lot. Three will be assigned to
the class whose terms expire in 1891,
three into the 1913 class and two into the
class of 1885. Then each of the three
classes will have twenty-eight members.
Which three of the new senators will be
put into the 1891 class is impossible to
foretell, but however the lots may be
cast it will make no difference politi-
cally, for the same legislatures which
have elected the three short-term SEN
ators will elect their successors, and the
same men will probably be reelected.
But the elections that haverecently taken
place in the old states may make
some changes in the political complexion
of the senate in 1891. The thirteen Re-
publicans and twelve Democrats whose
terms expire then and whose successors
are to be appointed by the legislatures
recently elected are:
llison, of Iowa; Blair,
Of New Hampshire; Cameron, of Penn
sylvania; Farwell, of Illinois: Ingalls,, of
Kansas: Jones, of Nevada; Mitchell, of
Oregon: Morrill,, of Vermont: Plat, of
Connecticut: Spooner, of Wisconsin;
Stanford, of California; Yetter, Of Colo
RADIO.
Democrats-Blackburn, of Kentucky;
Brown, of Georgia; Call, of Florida;
Eustis, of Louisiana; Hampton, of South
Carolina; Jones, of Arkansas: Payne, of
OHIO; Pugh, of Alabama; Vance, of North
Carolina; Vest, of Missouri; Voorhees,, OF
Indiana; Wilson, of Maryland.
While the personnel of the foregoing
lists may be changed somewhat there is
little likelihood that the political cast
will be altered. 1t is apparent, there
fore, that the Republican majority of six
possibly TENS almost beyond the
possibility of reduction for a number of
years, though it may be increased after
TWO years hence.

THE REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.
From the Globe-Democrat,

From the Globe-Democrat,
With the revolution in Brazil the last
of the mOnarchies of the continent has
been overturned and an unbroken line of
republics stretches from the great lakes
to Cape Horn. There are dependencies of
princes in North and South Americans
Canada in the former section and
Guiana in the latter-but no crowned
head any longer bears direct sway over
any portion of the western hemisphere
The crisis IN Brazil has not been alto
gether unexpected. Suggestions of its
approach have been heard frequently in
the past two or three years, but es-
pecially since the recent emancipation of
slavery in the empire. 1t is known, too,
that the royal family expected it, and
were preparing for flight or acceptance
of the situation when the rising came
which they saw to be inevitable. But
nobody either in or out of Brazil inn
agined that the storm would come SO
soon.
For decades past the Brazilian gov
eminent has been an anachronism. Sur
rounded on all sides by countries with
whose traditions, prepossessiOns and as
pirations the mOnarchical system is at
war, Brazil has, by reason Of its moral
and social isolation. been an object of
peculiar interest to students of politics.
From the moment when the last of its
neighbors struck off the royal yoke, that
country has offered especial and particu-
lar provocation for the uprising which
has now occurred. The considerations
and influences which postponed the
revolution to this date were the personal
popularity of the emperor and the wis
dom and progressive spirit which he
manifested in welding power. Con-
trarv to the experience elsewhere, re-
forms in the Brazilian governmental
system began at the top, and not at the
bottom. 1t was the monarch and not
the subjects who devised and carried
them into execution. Still, although
the scepter has been taken from one of
the wisest and best of princes, the action
is creditable both for moral and political
reasons. Brazil has taken step for
ward in social and material development,
and the Independent nations of the
continent welcome it on its entrance into
the fraternity Of republics.
