ZEAL WITHOUT WI DOM.
From the Emporia Republican.

From the EmpOria Republican.
The Topeka Capital is a jealous politi-
cal fighter but not wise one. Its zeal
runs into abSurdities and makes it cham
plOn fakes. 1t has for number of weeks
past been devOting its editorial space to
an effort to prove that the movement of
the Republican farmers in Kansas is made
in the interest of the Democratic party
and the southern cOnfederacy. Nobody
of any sense is convinced by the show
ing. 1t is safe to say that there is not an
adult person in Kansas but knows that
the farmers movement in this state was
started for the purpose of lettering the
farmers Condition-to secure for him a
more remunerative market, fairer trans
portation rates, immunity from trusts
and combines. etc, etc. 1t Is composed
largely of lifelong Republicans and old
soldiers, who have no more sympathy
for Democracy and the southern confed-
eracy than they have for the devil and
his angels.
Now the Capital has unearthed big
Democratic conspiracy, which, so far as
we can see, Is fully as absurd as its ALI
ance fake. 1t has raised question as TO
Judge Nicholson's constitutional eligibil-

the Democrats have nominated him. and
would make believe that he was nomi-
mated only to be withdrawn in favor Of
the Alliance candidate, Mr.. Rightmire.
A whole column Is given 10 the expose
and the alleged facts set forth in the
gravest manner. Judge NIchOlSon's ineli-
Ciblhty Is represented 10 lie in the alleged
fact, being a Judge of the district court.
he Is prohibited from accepting any
other office until the expiration Of his
term, and the provision of the Constitu-
ton Is cited as evidence. The meaning
of the constitution obviously Is that no
justice or Judge or state court thall
accept any other Office while acting IN
such Judicial capacity. No law can pre-
vent a citizen from resigning any
Office which he NAV hold. and no law
can prevent anv otherwise qualified
citizen frem accepting and holding any
single office 10 which he may be legally
elected. II Judge Nicholson should be
elected chief justice-Of which there Is
no great danger-he could resign his
present office. Being then only private
citizen, there would be nothing 10 pre-
vent his acceptance Of the chief justice
ship. Moreover. if the Democratic
leaders had wanted to endorse Right
mire they could have done It in the same
way and with the same ease that they
endorsed Ives.
The Republican believes IN making uze
az every legitimate weapon IN s political
fight but it dos not believe n soaring
up mares nests. The attempt 70 run
fakes upon the people Is not only Of no
benefit but il l. harmful. The Republi-
can party has IN Its platform an abun-
dance Of practical. sensible material 70

after harem-scarem SENSATIONS that are
buncombe on their face.

AWFUL PROPHFSY.

Whether the effects of the atmosphere,
or the water or what not, Kentuckians
are in some respects "a peculiar people"
though it can hardly be claimed that
they are especially Jealous of good
works. Their penchant seems to run
to politics, though they essay the arts
and sciences, and so forth with the easy
abandon of life long familiarity. All
this applies in a general way to the deni-
zens of the dark and bloody ground; but
every now and then some one rises above
the rest and for the moment poses as a
special bidder for nOtOriety, if not fame.
1t is noted that DIR. j. r. Buchanan, of
Louisville. has done considerable in the
way of prophesying and psychometrizing
in his time, but his latest effort in that
line eclipse all the rest for brilliancy and
originality. lie writes in The Arena
that our earth Is blowing along toward
Ian infinite horror, in which "A sudden
death is our happiest fate" So far as
the doctor is concerned personally he
does not care, since he is already on the
home stretch of his last quarter of a
century, and the terror will not come in
his time.
But for the rest of the world. those
who are still to live ''twentv-three or
twenty-four years, there viii come a
"convulsionary period the like of
which has not been known since Noah's
flood. To begin, the power of the church
will he shivered to splinters-nothing
left of 1t. The power of the state will
fare little better, and 1.-The marriage re-
lation will approximate freedom" There
viii come the utter destruction of mon
archy. leaving only the sultan of Turkey
on his shabby ane effete old throne. 1t is
very kind of DIR. Buchanen to except the
sultan from the junk shop of Oblivion to
10 which he consigns all the rest of the
monarchs But even we Of the United
States are not 10 escape. The Republi-
can party Will 20 to the sticks, to be fol-
lowed 10y the Democratic party in power:
the Democrats will give no better salts
faction than the Republicans did. and
they. too. viii go down ingloriouslv,
never TO rise again. This ought TO be a
satisfaction TO both parties. The labor
party viii then take hold, and run things
10 suit itself.
Sanguinary revolution will break out
IN Europe at the beginning of the next
century. Nineteen years from now we
shall have in this country war or quasi
war, with scenes Of so horrible a nature
that IN mercy to our nervous systems the
doctor does not tell Us what they are.
Nature viii follow politics and the whole
planet viii so to flinders. In thirteen or
fourteen years cold seasons will stop
growing things and there will ba famine
and pestllence. The Mississippi river
will shake his name and go on the ram
page. and he never VIII stop his antics
again. but Will become periodical hor-
ror, engulfng unhappy creatures along
his banks without warning or mercy.
The choicest horror we have left TO close
with. That Is. that in twenty-three or

ONE CAUSE OF THE sTRINGENCY.

The very high rates for money in the
New York market the past week, SAYS
the Financial Reporter, h We been partly
due to the large diversion of capital to
southern enterprises. In conversation
with a carful investment banker, yester-
day, he said:
Il have in mind four brothers, wealthy
retired merchants in Pennsylvania, for
whom had made large investments in
city bonds and real estate Suddenly
the spirit of enterprise seemed to rise
again in one the brothers, and he sold
out portion of his investments, and
went into the iron manufacturing bust
ness in the south. Then he sold other
investments and went into various coal
and mining speculatiOns until he had
more than 81 800, 600 in southern enter
prises. He made a great deal of money,
and one of his latest ventures was the
purchase of a coal property for 800, 900,
which he sold for 81 900, 900. His three
brothers, seeing him accumulating
wealth so rapidly, also entered again
upon an active career, and are operating
in the south. All this capital which goes
south is so much business taken away
from us. Of course a reaction will OC-
cur some time, but meanwhile they
are making a great deal of money in
that section of the United States whose
was enlarged by slavery
before the war"

An interesting experiment in co-opera-
tive living is soon to be tried at Evanston,
near Chicago. Twelve heads of families
will erect houses for themselves around
a central court, in which will be placed
common building for kitchen, laundry,
etc. The general idea is not new, the
French familistere furnishing the origi-
nal suggestion, which, in many places,
has been carried out in manner similar
to the Chicago plan. The idea is wholly
practicable, and there does not seem to
be any good reason why hundreds of
such communities should not exist. The
plan, though not embracing all the de-
tails, is now in successful operation in
this city, and, we understand, with per-
feet satisfaction to those Immediately
interested.

Chief Mayes is an adroit schemer. At
ter playing a bluff game in regard to the
claim the Cherokees assert to the strip of
country bearing their name, and failing
by this and every other artifice that in
genuity could suggest to maintain said
claim, that willy chief now resorts to an
appeal to the sympathetic in order if pos
sible to move the president and cause
the administration to forego the order to
remove the cattle belonging to white
men from the land in question. If the
Cherokees ha / any substantial claim in
fact upon the land in question, Chief
Mayes' appeal would no doubt have
some effect; but in view of the fact that
they have grown rich as a people from
the benefactions bestowed by the gov
eminent, and that the government has
complied with the term Of all treaty
stipulations with them, the appeal is
simply begging of the question.

AMERICAN VS.. EUROPEAN RAIL
WAYS

From Chauncey Depew's Responsive Speech.

nineteen hours, and for my fare and a

showing the blessings of a railroad run
by a government. The same thing with
better accommodations and in less time
is done on the Central and its cOnnec-
tions for $50.
One other thing is attractive. 1t is an
incident which relates to our own bust
ness of transportation. This magnificent
internal commerce which we have is
based upon the free communication of
our railways everywhere and their inter-
change. 1t is based upon the fact that
we connect so intimately. and that we
run so freely, and that our systems
are 50 perfect The continent of
Europe and the island of Great
Britain, if brought together COM
mercially by similar energy and
enterprise as that which characterize
the railways of the United States,
would have ten times the prosperity
which is now possible to them under any
circumstances. l will illustrate this by
one thing. When l was at Verona [

there beautiful peaches selling at five for

been in London. and peach worth eat
ing could not be had at less than twenty
five cents. and London and Verona are
only 600 miles apart. The trouble is cost
and facilities of transportation. Upon
this table you have fruit from California
1900 miles away. 1t is an object lesson
that tells the whole story between the
enterprise and intelligence with which
the American railway system is man
