which gives the states the power to reg
ulate the sale of whisky in their re-
spectiVe borders, finally passed con-
gres5 the democrats voted almost to a
man against giving the states even the
power to license, or in any way regu-
late the sale of liquors. The democrats
and their reSubmission allies deliberate
ly lie when they say they are in favor of
high license and local option. They
want free saloons. The prohibitory
law is only the principle of local option
applied to the state, yet the resubmis-
siOnists are not willing that it shall be
thus applied. Their idea of "local' is
much narrower. Should a city happen
to be in favor of absolute prohibition,
then they would ask for "local option"
for each ward and should the ward
favor prohibition their idea of 'local
option" would narrow down to blocks
and ultimately to lots and small rooms.
Their buncOmbe resolutions in favor
of ''high license and local option" is so
much hypocrisy.

Cowardly Tactics.

If the the information of the Enter
prise Journal is true that certain ALI
ances in this county have passed reso-
buttons fOrbidding their members from
attending political meetings, other
than those of the peoples party, the
people of this county will want to
know it. A more tyrannical and
cowardly method of whipping votes
into line" was never heard of. Such a
measure could only originate in the
mind of a cowardly demagogue, con-
scious of the falsity and inherent
weakness of his political opinions.
Political doctrines that are worth en-.
tertaining ought not to be hid in the
recesses of windowless lodge rooms.
If a measure is for the peoples good,
it cannot suffer by public discussion.
If the peoples party convictions are so
weak that they can be easily changed
by argument they ought not to be en-
tertained for a moment. If the ties
which bind the adherents of this party,
are so brittle that they are liable to be
broken by their being brought into con-
tact with the arguments of political
opponents, then such ties are not strong
enough 20 frame laws, or adopt meas
ures for the government of the people,
and ought not to be trusted for a mo-
ment.
If the peoples party have any pecu.
liar doctrines that will rebound to the
benefit of ali the people let them bring
them out into heavens sunlight that
all the people may see and judge of
their efficacy. 1t is only the base
coward who avoids the eye of the pub
lie. 1t is only the hypOcrite who is
ashamed and afraid to meet argument
with argument.

Resuhmission HYnocrisY.

No more brazen falsehoods were evel

tons at Wichita, in which they declare
their respective parties to be in favor
of ''high license and local option. u
The admission of free whisky and its
unrestricted sale in original packages
in this state has taught the people OF
Kansas a lesson about resubmissionists
which they are not going to forget so
soon as this.
No resubmissien paper in this state
had one word to say against the un-
licensed sale of whisky in original
packages. No resubmissionists de-
nounced the influx of horde of Miss
ouri hoodlums into this state for the
purpose of violating the spirit if not
the letter of our laws. Every effort on
the part of the people of Kansas 70 sup
press the free sale of liquor. was met
with nothing but scofing, jeers and
laughter from these reSubmissionists
The free and unrestricted sale of rum
was undoubtedly satisfactory to every
one of them. When the Wilson bill.

No Business In It.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
has guaged the peoples party of Kan
sas about right. 1t says:
The Kansas Farmer tells US:
"The alliance was started to heal, not to
open sores; to bring the people together,
not to separate them; TO nationaliZe, not to
sectionalize citizenship; to build up. not to
destroy the country; to establish peace, not
to prolong strife; to perpetrate friendship,
not to encourage hatred; to restore
good, and not TO foment discord. Briefly,
the alliance means peace, justice, friend
ship, loyalty, progress"
All of which is as the tale told by an
idiot, full of sound and fury, signifYing
nothing. Take up the passage quoted
and give it careful examination-and
what does it mean? Merely words.
There is not shade of business in it.
The Georgia Farmer tells the story of
the alliance in these terms:
"Here is great Organization-a giant at
its birth-in almost undisputed control of
the machinery of the venerable and power
full democratic party, yet welding that
machinery in conformity to democratic
usage, waging its special warefare within
the democratic lines, marshaling its forces
beneath the democratic flag, and battling
as democratic veterans with ancestral demo-
cratic faith for cardinal democratic prin-
ciples."
And there is nothing in this save to
show that the profession of the mys-
ferrous principles of the alliance is con-
sistent with the Acknowledgement of
poor men because they are black, and
that it is friendly to the policy of re-
modelling all human affairs by ignorant
and impertinent meddling, and of
assailing the public credit with the no
ton that debasing the dollar provides
for prosperity.
The Southern Alliance Farmer says:
1.-THE alliance is the democratic party. "
This is frank. 1t is in part true. The
alliance has the same old fool notions
about finance that are the disease of
the democratic party in the south and
west, and the same incapacity to
handle public affairs that distinguishes
the democracy. There is also in the
alliance large lot of small men trying
to impart grandeur to themselves by
whooping up what they are shallow
enough to think a revolutionary sensa-
ton,

Nicholson's Eligibility

The republican papers of the state
undoubtedly mean we'll in declaring
Judge Nicholson ineligible to election
as chief justice of the supreme court on
account of section Is, article III of
the constitution which says that a
judge shall not be chosen to any other
Office "dur1ng the term for which he is
elected"
The REFLECTOR is, however. of the
opinion that the question of eligibility
will be settled on Nov. 4th in Judge
Nicholson's favor and that there is no
need of wasting any powder in trying
to defeat him on that ground. That he
will be defeated we believe and hope
but it will not help any to make false
claims.
In the proposed amendments to the
state constitution which published
IN the REFLECTOR today it is seen that
section Is is to be repealed and 'any
elector of the state of Kansas" made
eligible while as regards judges they
cannot be elected to any other Office
except a judicial one" during their
term and this includes the chief justice
ship.
If the amendment receives the re-
quired majority at the November cleo
ton land it is probable that it willy
Judge Nicholson will be entirely
eligible. The amendment is widely
favored and unless Nicholson is |
pulled off the ticket to make way for |
or Campbell as now seems
likely, it will receive in addition to the
republican votes those of the democ-
racy in order to make the case of its
candidate for chief justice sure.

Without Principle.

If anything further was needed to
demonstrate the utter want of princi-
pie of the democratic party and to
show the complete subjugation of that
party to the whisky power it was fur
nished by the Wichita convention Hast
Tuesday.
Here is great political party which
pretends to adhere to certain line of
political principles in opposition to
those advocated by the republican
party; for years it has been denouncing
every position taken by republicans, yet
on last Tuesday a committee of the
democratic state convention of Kansas
walked across the street into another
convention which had just firmly re-
solved that sue renelo oar pledge of un-
aoareIIng loyalty to the principles of the
national republican party'' and took it's
republican chairman and carried him
over into the democratic convention
and boosted him up to second place on
the democratic state ticket, and in the
event of his election he would preside
over the highest lawmaking power in
the state. This great democratic party
was willing to sacrifice every principle
it ever held in opposition to the nation
al republican party, for what? Free
rum.
In accepting D. A. Banta as
their candidate for lieutenant governor
they said to the people of this country:
"We will sacrifice every other principle
so long and dearly cherished by US, if
you only give US free rum. You can
have your American system of pro-
tection,' Mckinley bill and all. if you
only give US back our saloons. You
can have your federal election laws, and
provide for an honest election in the
south, if you only give US an abun-
dance of rOtgut whisky. You may be
as loyal to the principles of the repub-
lican party as you please, only give US
rum" And the great democratic party
of Kansas swallowed the chairman of
the convention which expressed its
"unwavering loyalty to the principles
of the republican party with the same
relish with which it takes down the
contents of original packages.

1t comes rather late and in bad grace
from the democrats to embody IN
their platform the remark of Mr.. Blaine
that the Mckinley bill would not pro-
vide the farmer a market for a single
bushel of wheat, or a single barrel of
pork. The republicans have embodied
in the Mckinley bill the exact sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Blaine, and upon
that very proposition every democrat
in the senate voted in the negative.
Probably our democratic friends at
Wichita, in their eagerness to get man
of "unwavering loyalty to the prin-
ciples of the republican party" upon
their ticket had not heard of the action
of their senatorial brethren at Wash
ington.

A Remarkable Spectacle.

Among all the many rare and unique
political extravaganzas that have at
times been presented to the people of
Kar sas none has been so remarkable
in its folly and righteousness as that
of the so-called peoples party. Found
ed on pretended basis of good to the
farmers it has fallen into the hands of
the most INSCRIPTIONS and VIGOROUSLY
corrupt political hacks the state con-
tsins. These same men were at the
head of the union labor movement two
years ago and induced many to follow
off after them. But they were defeat
ed so badly that the party never saw
light again and they cast their eyes
about to see where was base of opera
tions.
The farmers alliance had been start
ed and had grown to much prominence
in Kansas. 1t was primarily an or
ganization for social and financial ben
eft and as such had the best wishes of
all. By it all farmers met on a COM
mon basis and political and religious be-
liefs were laid aside. Here was a
chance for the union laborites. By
shrewd management and coalition
with the democracy they gained con-
troll of the alliance and attempted to
deliver it over body and soul to the
democratic party.

sell 1t out and nominate Robinson.
