pOlltlc and Senator ingalls, IA condemned for
not having discussed II more fully 10 is un.
necessary 70 suggest 10 the intelligent reader
that a minute discussion OF tahG legislation
would be distasteiu and unintelldbe 70 the or
dinary audience. Neither has 10 been success
fully attempted by the orators OF any political
party.
Hints Of open infdelity to "the re-
publican party" are thus most openly
set forth by this one of "the seven
men" Of Greclsn, or greasy Kansas
republicanism:
We are next informed In a threatening way
that the republican party had los birth In an up
rising Of the people and are left 10 infer that the
recent political events pressage another suchup-
rising, founded upon the principles above. noted
The learned gentleman assures us that he still
thinks that there Is some good In the republican
party and encourages us by predicting that these
good things, "in some form and In some name
win continue TO survive" We are duly grateful
for the encouragement. but cannot refrain from
wondering what political men or party would
not grant as much. We are also prone 10 speCu'
late as TO how much Of push IL would take TO
land the Senator from AtchsOn on the other
side OF the fence, In the camp OF our friends, the
enemy Before the election ne persistenty re-
fused TO be interviewed on the subject Of the re-
election Of Senator Ingalls, and also failed tO
give utteranCe to many startling political truths
which he has since been able to enunciate.
He now degrades his political position and
prestige bya peevlsh arralgnment Of the acts
and methods Of the republican party, from the
instructions Of the primaries 10 the decisions Of
Of the United States supreme court, but assures
us that the decalOgue and golden rule constitute
part OF OF his political creed. He presents the
deplOrable spectacle Of a camp follower, who,
Ike Thernardier at Waterloo, despOils the
bodies Of the wounded and the slain.
These thirty young patriots might
dissolve their difficulties and promote
their harmonies by the neat stroke Of
getting united as fellow members of
'the Knights of Reciprocity"

THE recognized value of the honor
and word Of Mr.. ingalls, is quite well
expressed In the following from the
Chicago Times:
ingalls,, having denied the authentic interviews
with himself published In the Times, and an
nOunCed that whenever he thinks the time has
come for IL he will make statement, will greatly
Oblige the world by expressing his opinion on
the recent decision OF the Kansas courts block
ing his "llttle game" TO steal senatorshlp In

solemn obituary plagiarism, and his remarks
The advocate., 1890-12-24

The ADVOCATE presented his views,
not for tho purpose Of giving thom
editorial endorsement, but 80 that the
coming fellow Legislators might know
something Of his views as one of the
older Legislators, who would be in the
coming house for business
And here is introduced the follow
ing from an exchange, which may
have some practical significance:
The Topeka Capital conpatulates the republ-
can party OF Kansas upon the fact that the re'
cent political upheaval will DO short lived and bar
rem OF practical results, for the reason that re
publican senate and governor eiiectuaily bar the
way 10 any remedial legislation on the part OF
the lower mouse.
The Capital and the interests for which II
speaks had better take warning. The people
will tolerate no fOOllshnesa. The recent political
revolution was not the result OF mere popular
caprice. 10 was the inevitable outcome OF a
great educational movement This movement
has behind 10 tho intelligence and patriotism Of
the most intelligent and patriotic constituency
TO be found anywhere inthe United States. And
next winter when tho people Of Kansas come TO
place the responsibility for the Legislation or the
lack thereof, they Will make no mistake. For
the republican senate and executive 10 thwart
the viii Of the majority as declared In the plat
form OF the successful party, either by outright
dllatOry proceedings or the use OF
the glbernatOral veto, will be TO dig their own
political graves, and 20 dig them 80 deep that the
blagtOf Gabriels trump will never reach them.
Let them by unfair methods defeat we'll cOnsid-
cred measures for the prevention Of usury, for
the abolition OF trusts, for the reduction OF
Official salaries, or the enactment OF stay law
and o law for the Australian plan OF votlng, II
they dare, and after 1892 there will DO no repub-
IlCan governor or republican senate In Kansas TO
do the will Of monopoly.
The foregoing is given 80 that the
of the Capital may be com
pretended by the incoming house,
and THE ADVOCATE desires to be plain
ly understood in the matter Of desir-
ing that all the varied political ele-
ments in the Legislature should seek
10 unite their efforts in Legislation
that would be beneficial to the peo-
pie, hence the notice Of Judge Webb
In the present and prospective Condi-
lions Of Legislative work.
The advocate., 1890-12-24

THE republican party, as a con-
fessedly sectional one for twenty
years, is at this time almost without
the honor Of having Corporaps
guard, even Gin the north," and it's
remnants are now mostly on the At
lsntic and Pacific sides of the country,
where plutOcrats have easy access
with the barons of the Old World,
who have so greatly fostered and
promoted domestic and foreign trusts
80 utterly inimiCal TO the dearest and
highest interests Of a free people, to
whom liberty has incalCulable charms.

SPECIAL CLUB LIST.

Reports Of Congressional and state
Legislation will be prepared with that
degree of care that Intelligent readers
will desire it for this class of impor-
tant and interesting information.
What the National Era, at Washing
on, D. G., was in the period antedat-
ing the formation of the republican
party as a national organization at
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Febru-
airy "a, 1856, SO may The ADVOCATE
be considered as the true evsngel OF
freedom in the present and prespec-
tive uprising Of the people against
the organized plutOCracy Of our civil

The ADVOCATE most respectfully
would call the attention Of the gem

invoke the good OF all by each, and of
each, by the great body polite.
Hence it knows no north, no south,
no east, no west, but a common, indi-

elect who might be called lawyers are
the iollowingi
Messrs Brown, Of Harvey Doug
Las, Of Sedgwickj Hopkins, OF Finnoy;
Reeder, Of Ellis; Rice, Of Bourbon,
and last, but by no manner Of means
least Hon. William o. Webb, Of
Shawnee.
Mr. Brown is a young man Of no
Legislative experience; Mr.. Douglas
has been city attorney ofWiChita, and
was a member Of the house in 1889;
Mr.. Hopkins has no service as a leg
islator; Mr. Reeder was in the house
of 1883, but his seat is now contested; 4;
Mr.. Rice paid some attention TO the
law before he gave himself to journal
ism; he is an editor of the Fort Scott
Monitor, and he was in the house Of
1889.
Judge Webb is member Of very
large Legislative experience. He was
an admirable editor in early life, and
his knowledge Of law is such that il
would be very difficult to name the
gentleman who ever had a seat in the
Kansas Legislature at any time in It's
history who was his superior in legal
attainments, His services in the next
house--in the fitness Of things
miffht be such that they would stand
related directly and intimately to the
examination Of all bills that pertain
to changes in our statutes, which seek
to modify or uproot existing ills and
inequalities, and that would repeal
laws that have tended to operate
hsrmfully upon the people,
It need be no discredit to any other
gentleman who will sit in the next
house TO remark Of Judge Webb that
he would be an expert in matters that
pertain to remedial Legislation, being
80 familiar with the organic and stat
utory system OF the state, and having
such an innate love for the science of
jurisprudence.
II is to behoped that Judge Webb's
impress upon the session laws Of 1891
OF the state Of Kansas may be made
visible, and that early in the session
he may enter upon a field Of labor in
the next house where his ability, his
benevOlence, his conscientious cOur-
age, his dignifed discretion and his
enthusiastic earnestness in behalf Of
the well-being of the people Of our re-
vered commonwealth, may secure such |
q general recognition in the whole leg
islature that at its close, he may merit
the highest respect OF all for his very |
useful and highly meritorious work
as legislator.

stspniak on the Siberian outrasss.

LONDON, Mar. l6.-The attention Of
Ser.ius Stepnisk, the Russian liberal, vas
called today to the fact that some portion
OF the press had expressed doubt a. to the
authenticity and trustw orthiness of the re-
Gently published accounts Of outrsges to
which political prisoners in Siberia had
been subjected. Mr. Stepuiak said that
the main features of these accounts were
fully corroborsted by such portions Of the
official report compiled by the Russian
government a. had been given to the public.
The information, MIR. Stepniak continued,
concerning the Kara atrocieties which had
been given TO the press had reached the
western world in letters from persons who
had no interest whstever in extggerating
the brutalities which they were describing.
Speaking in reference to the published
views of the Russian administrator of pris-
ons to the effect that Mr. Nennsn's sc-
counts of Sib, rian prison life could not be
depended upon, as they were drawn from
convicts, MIR. Stepnisk said "lt Is almost
impossible to c1aggerste the sufferings Of
political prisoners in Siberia at the hands
of the prison officials. The great merit Of
Mr.. kenDans accounts is that they are
based on facts learned not only from tho
prisoners but also from the prison officials
Themselves; added TO this was his own per-
sonal observation of the situations he was
describing. Mr.. Lansdell's accounts, how
ever. gave only impressions obtained under

Prot Wigsins Of Canada Foretells 4
Terrific Storm.

OrrAwA, Ont, Mar. 16.-Prof. Z Stone
Virgins, the Canadian weather prophet,
has predicted very violent storm. He
says it will be felt all over the world and
will reach Europe from the II to 10Th inst.
1t will burst over the continent of America
between the 2lst and 22d inst. Nothing
short of miracle, he says, will prevent
the destruction of shipping that may be
caught out of harbor. Volcanic eruptions
and earthquakes will take place in the
South and on the Pacific coast, and also in
Europe. The storm will originate in the
northern Pacific. and it will be most dan
aerous on that ocean on account Of tidal
waves. 1t will be very heavy in America.
One part of it will move up the Mississippi
valley and come down the Great Lakes,
while the northeast current will move over
Quebec to meet and welcome the rest. The
gale will be heavy from the southeast and
east in the maritime provinces and eastern
United States.

The Berlin Labor Conferences

BERLIN, Mar. l6.-- The international
labor conference, which meets at the invi-
tation of Emperor William, was formerly
opened today in the large hall of Prince
Bismarek's palace, in which the conference
Of 1873 was held. The opening partook
more of the nature Of social than an on.
cisl gathering, though many preliminary
matters were disposed Of.
Baron Won Berlepsch, the Prussian min
lister of commerce, welcomed the delegates
to the German capital in the name of the
Emperor, and expressed the hope that
their deliberations would be fruitful in
beneficial results. He invited the confer
ence to constitute committees for the con-
sideration of the various questions which
are to be discussed.
Baron Won Berlpsh was elected preai-
dent of the conference, and Herr Magde-
burg. under secretary of commerce, vice.
