PREyroUs to the election, the To
peka Capital was wont to declare that
a vote for Ives was a vote for resub-
mission. Since Mr.. Ives election,
the Capital is perfectly frantic in it's
efforts to prove that his election does
not indicate that the people are in
favor of resubmission. In which case
are we to believethe Capital honest -
or is il ever honest?

PHILOsOPHIc POLITICIANS.

slide. One says il is because il is an
"of year. and the democrats usually
gain their victories in "otf years"
Another says that the success Of op-
posing parties is periodical that il
occurs in regular cycles, as it were,
and that this was the democratic
cycle. Another says it is owing to
the passage Of the Mckinley bill just
before election, not affording time for
the people to observe its beneficial ()
effects upon the agricultural and la
boring classes before they we're re-
quired TO vote. Another (the Topeka
CapitGD thinks Congress should have
passed the federal election bill and
left the tariff bill until the next ses-
sion Of Congress. And thus they
philosophize concerning the causes Of
their signal defeat. There is no doubt
that federal election bill that would
have enabled them TO control the
elections with bayonets would have
helped them out. 1t would have been
cheaper perhaps than buying votes,
and would have saved time in manip-
ulating the count We apprehend,
however, chat the true causes Of the
political changes have not received
very much attention as yet There is
a disposition everywhere to regard
the republican reverses in the north
altogether as democratic triumphs.
1t is the policy Of republican philoso-
piers to urge this view upon the peo-
pie. They would be glad if it were
true. Were this altogether a demo-
cratic success they would confidently
expect at the next election, which |
would not occur in an "off year," to
meet their old enemy upon the old |
issue agreed upon by the two par
ties the tariff and score another
victory. They hope to make the peo-
pie believe that it is altogether dem
ocratiC success,
When they come to speak Of the
elections in the south they are at
a loss just how to fix this matter.
They know that the old bourbon
mossbacks have been laid out, but it
would not do to call this a republican
success. This would be too bare
faced an imposition, and it would fur
thermore be an acknowledgment Of
the falsehood of the claim that the
alliance is a southern democratic aid
society. This would not do at all,
and hence our philosophic journalists
have very little to say about southern
elections either way. The people
must be deceived, and il possible
made to understand that it is the
democratic party that has simply
gained a temporary victory in an ''off
year." because the last Congress
passed high protective tariff bill at
an inopportune time, so that the peo-
pie could not discuss it and under
stand it, and observe its beneficial (?)
effects before election

business since election, IL ia out in
an humble appeal "to the democratic
press Of Kansas' asking for a cessR-
tion Of hostilities, plaintively moaning
that "Kansas has been injured by an
excess ofpolitics between campaigns"
As usual our view is just the reverse
Of that taken by the Capital The
study Of politics between campaigns
il just what has led to the great
change Of sentiment indicated by
election returns. IL is an i'll time TO
study questions Of public policy dur
ing an attack Of campaign fever
The Capital urges the people to
eschew politics and stick to business,
TO invite immigration and advertise
Kansas. Just why farmers who are
cursed with "overproduction" should
invite more immigrants 10 assist in
overproducing is not clear; besides
the Kansas farm mortgage syndicate
is engaged in inviting immigration.
Then as TO further advertising Of
Kansas, have we not still left to us a
brief season Of the services of "the
greatest advertisement Kansas ever
had" Senator j. j. Ingallsi And
after he shall no longer be able TO
advertise us by smuggling democrats
on the floor Of the United States Sem
ate, he will doubtless continue to send
out those admirable little pamphlets
to eastern and European money loan
ers advertising Kansas farm lands as
good security upon which TO place
loans
Please, Mr.. Capital, permit the
people TO continue a consideration Of |
politics Il. e., public business as relat-
cd to the general welfare until such
time as they find the way out OF the
dreadful snarl and confusion which
the public servants (7) Of the people
have gotten them into
But here's richness for you; just
read this from the Capital:
No reasonable man can believe In view Of the
vote Tor Robinson, that prohibition is an issue In
the minds OF the people. They are more strongly
for II than ever.
Why could not the Capital az we'll
have been reasonable" just before
as just after the elections II was not
'the vote for Robinson" about which
it was frantic previous to election il
was the vote for Ives which drove il
TO desperation. And still, uotwith-
the fact that Mr.. Ives is
elected the Capital has not only calm
ness enough for it's own Office con-
sumption, it has also a consolatory
surplus TO deal out to the public in
The assurance that there is really no
danger, ''the people are more strongly
in favor OF prohibition than ever"
Now that's just what the people
thought all the while. That's why
tho peoples party persisted in ruling
a settled question out Of the cam
paign discussion.

longer 1t is this resistance TO op-
preston that has found expression in
the recent elections. All over the
south this resistance has been crys-
talized in the alliance, and the defeat
Of bourbonim is a triumph Of alli-
ance principles and alliance men, In
those northern states where the indus
trial organizations were not sufficient
ly strong TO control the elections,
those who have felt the effects Of the
general depression Of all business in
terests have simply voted in opposi-
tion to the dominant party, hoping
for some benefit TO result from any
kind Of change,
In Kansas it would be a waste Of
time and space to enter into an OK
tended discussion Of the causes Of our
political revolution The issues up
on which the campaign was conduct
ed have been clearly presented and
thoroughly discussed They are based
upon the st. Louis demands, and
those formulated in this state relating
to local Legislation in the interest Of
our people. Those who persist in
treating our victory as a democratic
triumph are deceiving themselves, il
they think they are deceiving the
people. The republican party will
find itself confronted with a foe more
formidable than the democracy in iu-
ture elections. The peoples party
has come to stay. II will effect a ma
tional organization in the near future
and state organizations in all the
states. The sooner republican
journals cease to treat this party as a
democratic aid society, the sooner will
they be accredited by the people with
discernment, and with dis
position to manifest a small degree Of
honesty in politics.
As we long ago intimated. when
this peoples movement shall develop
sufficient strength to promise any
great degree Of success in national
politics, we shall expect to see the
leaders Of both Of the old parties
unite their forces in a common cause.
Wall street has dictated the policy OF
both parties for many years, and Wall
street will dictate the union of their
forces whenever this policy is endan-
yered. 1t will then be plutocracy
against the people, money against
The producers Of wealth. This is the
tendency of the times, and it will be
we'll for the people to keep this pros
oect in view, and carefully observe
he political developments Of the next
'ew months. This is a time of radi-
,al changes in politics, and we desire
hat the industrial classes, regardless
# party, shall carefully observe the
character of the changes that are
likely to occur in the next few months
Whoever does this Will not find il diff
icult to determine which side repre-
ents the interests Of "the great mid
lie classes"

The Prohable Outcome.

The recent victories of the Democrats
in the House, says the Richmond Dis
patch, have been due in part to their
pluck and in part to absenteeism OF the
Renublicans. The Democrats have right
on their side, but they cannot hope finally
to win when there is Republican ma
iority against them ample for the pur.
poses of such speaker as Reed. Our
people are familiar with the contest which
has been waged over the position of the
silver bill. 1t is not necessary to 80 into
any explanation of that here. What we
desire to point out is that even though
the Democrats fail-as is likely, in view
of the odds against them-tbey have
drawn to themselves the eyes of the
whole country and have made clearer
than ever the methods of force proposed
already practiced, indeed, by the Re
publican majority, led by the unscrupu-
lous Reed. This will bring out the peo
ple's abiding good sense and patriotism
to the rescue of the essential govern
mental principles threatened. Mr. Reed
and his fellow conspirators will probably
triumph, by force of numbers, in main
tanning the technical point they have
seen fit to make and are still battling,
but they have only to console themselves
after all with the fact that they have been
out generated by the Democrats; that
their victory, when gained, will be one
of the kind that it is better to lose; that,
indeed, they have been fighting against
right in the abstract however it may be
in parliamentary law as to the minor
point at issue, and that the people will,
therefore, see that they are succeeded in
the next Congress by a majority more
devoted to the welfare of the country,
more careful of the rights of all parties,
more faithful in the maintenance of the
principles on which our peculiar system
of government rests-by a majority, in
short, made up of Democrats.

possible. He says further that it is an in,
dica,ion that the end of the long struggle
is drawing on. 1t is now held that the
Hill mine having been located the next
few hours today will probably end the
suspense.
-Four distinct signals OF the engineer
bell were heard at the mouth Of the Hill
farm mine this morning. No one knows
whether it was from falling slate, or some
of the imprisoned miners pulled the wire
signal. Mr.. Wormsn said this evening:

have struck solid COAL have no doubt
about this. How long it will take as to

has been abandoned of finding any of the

Temperance and Prohibition-A Practical
PolicV

At the great National Temperance
Congress in New York the following
suggestions were made as to the liquor
evil. All this gives double force in view
of what both Sam Jones and Tom Dixon
have lately said on the want of "Back-
BONE" Get people at honest work, and
secure the masses happy, comfortable
homes, and the Drink habit dies" of
itself, and all glory to God:
"Rev Dr. W. r. Huntington of Grace Episco-
pal Church, said that DR. Funk's plea might be
defined as free rum, tempered by fines and i'm
prisonment. The free rum would certainly
flow, but it could not be predicted that the fine
and Imprisonment part of the programme would
be carried out. He added. Il look on rum as a
kind of dynamite, yet the sale of dynamite is
legal if made under certain restrictions. Tie
result of abolishing license laws would be that
rum would be sold subject only to fine and i'm
prisonment. Personal influence is the best
method of destroying the power of rum in a

From WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. G. June 2l.-Mr Dan
isl offered 10 the Senate today an amend
ment to the Sundry civil appropriation
bill appropriating SIS, 900 for the erection
Of post Office building on the reservation
Mt Fortress Monroe.
Senator Vance is OF the opinion that no
matter what is done the final outcome OF
the silver contest will result in embarrass'
ment for the Republicans. If Q free coin.
age bill goes to the President and he feels
bound TO sign it, then he will be compelled
to get rid of Secretary Window. Of
course, if the Republican bosses finally
pass q Wall street bill, the friends of the
money sharks, 10 the person of Mr.
Window, can keep bis place ct the head of
the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-A sicker set
than the southern Republican members of
Congress will be when this Congress ad-
journs would be hard to fnd. They were
warqed in advance not to trust the north
ern Republican bosses. but the warning
was not needed. It was plain to nearly
every body else that tobacco, sugar aud
rice would be Disseminated against if the
southern Republicans did not assert their
rights, but they we're too eager to gain
few seats in the House in the contest 6led,
and the result 10 that they have surrender.
cd everything, and the big pension jobs
have been put through at the expense OF
the southern industries. The deluded
southern Republicans are now protesting,
bat unless they stand solidly together aud
vote against the tariff bill until their de-
mands are granted there is no hope what.
ever for q reduction OF any part OF the
tobacco.taxes. Il has been stated repsat
sdly in this correspondence that the
Republican leaders never meant seriously
to repeal any part of the tobacco-taxes.
The revenue derived from that source 10
needed badly to pay pensions. No south.
srn mao objects to honest pensions
money to the edeserving--but this so.cslled
pauper. pension bill will be in the interest
of political bummerS, csmp.followers and
bounty Jumpers, and largely at the ex'
pense OF the south.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-A most re-
markable and sensational fact has been
developed today regarding ths recent
silver legislation in the Senate, and were
would hardly be believed. However. it is
3ecertAl00o 2Osolntely tnat, penang The
debate upon the bill, recognizing that
Senator Ingalls, held the key to the situs
! tion, thirty eight Republican Senators
who fearing the displeasurs of the Ad.
ministration, united in . confidential
document committing themselves to the
support of the compromise silver bill and
urged Senator Ingalls, to likewise attach
bis signature thereto. This Mr. ingalls,
/ peremptorily declined to do, stating
that he should vote for free coinage Q,
all hazards and irrespective of wha'
the President might think or do.
The remarkable feature connected with
this singular episode is the fact tha
among the signers of this document were
the extreme silver men, Senators Jonel
and Stewart, of Nsvsds, who, it seems
stood in ave of the President's wrath.
