JOINTS, TRUSTS AND OFFICES.

An old personal friend writes the edi-
tor of the EAGLE from Topeka. He would
like to join the::Rebellion, but is in the
dark as to the platform.
A list of the grievances, if set out in
expense, might prove discouraging, or
even collapse from innitial preponder-
ance. A rebellion, if successful, consti-
tutes Revolution, and revolutions work
out their own salvation. But the EA-
Giles major platform is very plain af-
fair, constituted of simple planks:
Close the joint.
Crush the trusts.
Sit down on the politicians.
'sThe first plank means that the illicit
traffic in liquors is more demoralizing to
society, more disastrous to morals and
more expensive TO the taxpayer, than
legal restriction, whatever its character.
Commercial trusts and political COM
bines are grinding the life out of honest
industry upon the one hand and threat
ening the liberties of the people upon the
other.

all sense of responsibility to the people,
one of the great curses Of Kansas
today being her fool legislatures or leg
islatures that are openly and VIGOROUSLY
dominated by lobbies and rings, in
which the people are outraged with
class and special enactments, IN the con-
tinual creation of new and unnecessary
Offices and by extraordinary expenses.
Taking these together they constitute
the Rebellion, which if successful means
Revolution, and as revolutions never 60
backward, therefore, better state of af-
fairs in Kansas. If all should fail there
will at least have been an arrest of
thought, an awakening, and the ten
dency towards publication that ever
comes of agitation, so that even in
failure things would be full better than
they are.

A large per cent of the most valuable
inventions in arms and war munitions
made during the past quarter of CEN
fury have been the result of American
ingenuity. but strange to say the govern
ment has in almost every instance lost
much of the benefits to itself of such in
ventions by permitting them to fall into
the hands of aliens. OF course the in
ventor is not to blame for wanting all he
can get for his production, but it is a
short sighted policy on the part of the
government that prompts 1T to refuse in
many instances TO SO much as investigate
an invention until it has been tested by
private enterprise, its merits recognized
and the article itself or the right to make
and use it passes into foreign hands.
Two of the latest and most valuable of
these are the smokeless powder and the
rapid firing gun, the last named being
the invention of persons not only edu-
Gated by the government and prepared
to accomplish the ike, but who are still
in its employ.

The organs say that the farmers are
going to save them by showing resub-
mission under 80 deep that it will never
be heard of again. Oh, yes. They said
the same thing this fall of the farmers of

No, tits the Most Uncertain.


Ex-Governor Anthony, of Kansas,
favors the State Herald's suggestions
that the party up there should relegate
the whole matter Of resubmissIon to
constitutional convention, and see that
the next legislature calls such conven-
tior. This is the quickest way to get
vote on the question, and the time has
come when a new constitution should be
formed for the state.
Wichita eagle., 1889-11-27

The issue can only be made in the
election of the legislature in 1890. IL
the people want to do away with prohi-

While yet covering beneath the old
dictatorial spirit which rings out in the

The People Can Be Trusted.

From the COldWater FCho.
Murdock's rebellion and Brazilian re-
belion are now on. 1t appears that they
are not substantiated by power of phys
ical force, but by power of mental senti-
ment. There can be no danger in sub
hitting any question to the people for
settlement, but on the other hand there
is danger in not submitting questions to
the people.

Failing to get any other excitement

The Saloon and the Joint.


Judge Horton calls attention to the
fact that there are boys in Kansas, eight
ten and twelve years old, who never saw
a saloon, and resubmission proposes to
introduce these strangers.-Kansas City

Kansas who have not seen "ioint."
We would prefer our boys should be in

The Express this week reproduces

Democrats are interested
Upon this as well SIS ali other issues

lority of the citizens OF Kansas desire il,
we believe it to be the duty OF the Re

Away With Joints.

From the Atchison Champion.
In all the talk about resubmission cur
rent in those newspapers which are spe-
cially advocating it, the commercial as
pect of the question alone is considered
The moral aspect seems to be entirely
ignored. The commercial aspect is, of
course. important in the consideration of
all questions of public policy. But not
a whit more 80, if as much, as the moral.
1t would be we'll for those who are clam

commercial in the determination of this
question.

A Stumbling Block.

From the Valley Center News.
George L. Douglass in Sundays EAGLE
came near hitting the resubmission ques-
ton fairly and to the satisfaction of
nearly every Republican in this part of
Kansas. The question is one that has
been agitated now for ten years, and has
been stumbling block of the party all
these years. The main argument of the
enemies of prohibition being that it was
never voted upon fairly or intelligently,
but few of the citizens fully understand
ing the question when they cast their
ballot. which in a measure is true, but
there is another and more forceable rea-
son perhaps why it should be resub-
mitted to the voice of the people. II
respectable minority of our people be-
leve that ma jority wish the amend
ment stricken from our statutes they
should be heard. and so far as we are
concerned, while we personally believe
il good thing for the people, II the peo-
pie say they don't want 1t we say obey
the majority.

we except two or three others of like

One Way or the Other.
FROM the Atchison Globe.
Heretofore Senator Ingalls, has found
out pubic sentiment, and then followed
1t. In the present emergencyshe must
lead, and stand or fall by his judgment.
The question now is, is it resubmission
or anti-resubmission, and Mr.. Ingalls,
must take stand one way or the other.
There are only two ways to guess; if he
speaks on the right side, he will be re-
elected: if he does not he will have
great deal of trouble
Wichita eagle., 1889-11-27

From the Atchison Champion.
The Wichita EAGLE, it may be said
without disparagement to any other
agency, has done more to make that city
than any other half dozen factors, it
would, therefore, be great pity now for
that excellent journal to undo much Of
its grand work by allowing it to be
snarled up with an issue whose advocacy,
whatever may be its merits, bodies
neither commercial nor moral good to
that or any other community. The
Champion may be in error about this,
but that is its view of the matter.

Leavenworth Joined to Her Joints

Mash Murdoch is badly ratified. Bet

Wichita. The great state has no inten-
ton of permitting a little city to annul
her laws. Leavenworth could give
Wichita some valuable pointers on this
question.
