personal interest. tut for the general
prosperity of Kansas.
Observation-Disclosures is right, is right.
because the people are the source of all
power, and when they demand chance
to. vote on change of the fundamental
law it is simply naked justice to indulge
the inclination.
Second-The voice of Kansas in 1880
is not the voice of Kansas in 1890, unless
all men who came to Kansas since 1880
came with the understanding that the
fundamental law was not to be changed
except by vote of the same votess who
voted in 1880. To make this clearer
and emphasize it, We insist
that every man who came
to Kansas since a. D. 1880, did not be-
come invested with full Kansas citizen
ship unless the privilege was conferred
on him to demand right to vote on a
change of the constitution, as often as a
majority of the people Of the state de-
sired, if that was at every regular cleo
ton. If it be said that those who came
after 1880 knew what the constitution
contained, and assented thereto by COM
ing, it may be also said that citizenship
of one year is as high and sacred by that
same fundamental law as citizenship of
thirty years, and that all citizens are
peers in law if not in fact.
The issue before US is not what 600, 900
people in Kansas theoretically thought
in A. D.. 1880. about prohibition, but
what do 100000 people now in Kansas
think of prohibition.
We are not living in the past, but in
the active, thinking present. 1t is the
present thought of Kansas we want to
know, and the voice of the present will
be the voice of God just as much as 1t
was the voice of God in 1880 through the
voice of the people.
Theology teaches us that God is the
same. Experience proclaims that men
change. Observation teaches human
clay is very mutable plastic-mobile stuff.
The second motiue we had in writing
this article is, viz: To impress on Kansas
that immigration is no more dependent
or is dependent on the newspaper that
claims ''resubmisslon should precede
immigration"
While we are resubmissionist we are
are one on grounds of what we believe
to be sound, broad, comprehensive states
manship-good order and sound morality
and an improved condition of police
government. We have never yet sub
scribed to the doctrine that the prosperi-
ty of state was dependent on the num-
Der of chung holes" beer kegs and
champagne corks.
In sober, earnest truth, Mr.. Editor, if
this theory of the more liquor the more
prosperity is true. then Missouri should
now have ten million people and Peoria,
H., should be larger than Chicago.
Prohibition riveted on Kansas for the
next hundred years will not prevent i'm
migration. 1t may hurt the Republican
party, may prevent certain nationalities
from coming, but there are thousands of
Americans who will come this year if
our immigration bureau does it's duty,
and prove our worth and publish our
advantages. "WIND HARP"

1.-THE Wichita EAGLE man will have a
good deal of hard hustling," says the
Pittsburg Smelter, ito get back into the
Republican ranks in good working order
when he is through hohnnhhing with the
whiskyites and Democrats. From the way
Mr.. Murdoch roars and coughs he must
have swallowed some second-class Wichita
bulge down the wrong guzzle. Topeka
Capital.
The Wichita EAGLE man is owing the
Republican party nothing nor asking of
it any favors. We love the principles of
the Republican party, that is true, and
have stood by them for thirty years, of
which we are not ashamed, and were,
probably, advocating them before the
editor of the Smelter was born: but for
the opinion of the Smelter's editor or the
attitude of the party, as party, towards
us, nine out of ten of whose bosses have
fiuDked or bolted at some time in their
lives, we don't care the snap of finger.
The EAGLE man will probably be Re-
publican i'll fact, in principle and in in
fiuence, when the recalling of the names
of some of the bosses with whom he
threatens US will be only with an elevat-
ed nose.

While manufacturers of iron, fax and
wool were appearing before the committee
on ways and means the Democracy was
holding its breath for a yell to be given
after the farmer had appeared in his ire
sistible strength and asked to have the
robber tariff removed; but when he came,
he called for protection to certain Of his
interests, and the country is consequently
wrapped in silence so profound that you
can hear the sun shine.-Newton Republi-
can.
If the Republican hears any great
amount of yelling from any quarter its
sense of hearing is a deal more acute
than ours. The truth of the matter is
the farmers demands in the regard men,
toned was a surprise, not so much in
the demands, per Sc, as in the way they

implies a big IF. That is to say, ifsthe

WILDER AFTER THEM,

There was an awful howl lately for
Governor Humphrey to remove Web
Wilder as insurance commissioner. The
howl seemed to originate and to come,
principally, from members of the legis-
lature. Wilder has let the cat out of the
bag by informing the editor Of the Fort
Scott Monitor that about twenty men,
bers Of the Kansas legislature accepted
brides from al insurance company.
Great guns! Wilder further says that
1.-The dishonest companies are nearly all
closed. About thirty have been closed
since l took the office. Every one of
them had friends. They united in the
fight against me last winter. The fight
was SO strong and infamous that l told
some of the facts in my annual report,
but only small part of them. Now the
insurance thieves are fighting with
themselves, and the whole facts will
come out.

WICHITA LEADS ALL THE REST.

Mr. V. A. Smarsh, of Merchandising,
Pa. made tour of the southwest late in
the past year and on his return east he
gave the Carlisle Evening Sentinel an
account Of his trip and what he saw and
among the rest the following concerning
this city, the impressions being formed
during brief stop here enroute:
''The grand city of Wichita can hardly
be described and do it justice. Far sur
passing her sister cities in Kansas and
some Of other states. Its magnificent
structures, its many universities and
colleges, churches and private residences,
business blocks, manufactures, and pub
lie buildings, and beautiful avenues. She
may well be proud of herself; but as
started out to tell the truth and every
thing. it must not be denied that she has
had something of backset, like all
other cities had. But before left for
home every one could see that business
was Frightening up, and every one pre-
diets that it will not take more than one
year when she will have fully recovered,
get down to a solid basis and be more
prosperous than ever.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

The announcement from Hon. s. r.
Peters. representative from this, the Sew
enth Kansas, district that he will not
serve the district longer than his present
term, has in it matter deserving serious
consideration by the people. Mr.. Peters
does not complain at the volume or az
duousness of his labors, but of the mad
equacy of the pay, considering the re-
quirements laid upon those occupying
official positions at the national capital
in a social way: that it costs one more to
live in Washington City than congress
mans salary amounts to. The condi-
tions there are indeed serious as touching
the best interests of the public, but the
people are themselves largely to blame
for it. 1t is but natural sequence of
the policy that has grown almost into
universal practice of selecting wealthy
men as representatives to congress, and
particularly the senate. The notion
has obtained in the minds of a great
many that a man without ample
wealth cannot command respect, to say
nothing of influence, in the capacity OF
legislator, This is most harmful IN its
effects, inasmuch as it discounts moral
worth and intellectual force and attain
ments.
The idea, the notion, the systen-for
it has well nigh grown into system
of looking to the use of money in secur-
ing whatever may be desired, and even
demanded by the exigencies of the case.
is most pernicious one, and to our
mind is largely responsible for the
and burdens that have been
laid upon the community and under
which it is growing today.

easy feeling in the presence of our oppo-
nents, but we can't hide it from ourselves.
If such feelings be anarchism anarchists
may ere long be in the majority. You are

Democrat, but we meet on mutual ground
here. We all can stand a large amount OF
humbugging from our leaders at one dose,
but when it is repeated year after year it

have for some time been an enthusiastic
reader of your valued paper and although
do not agree with you on the matter of
Resubmission, can heartily concur in
your Rebellion" am a Republican and
it is hard to relinquish the long cherished
principles of protection, but sense of
justice and equity demand that something
be done to lessen the growing evil Of con-
principles of the Republican party, but
the powers that DE no longer have the in
terest of the masses at heart and these
great principles are lost sight of in the in
terest of self by the solons at the nations
head.
The farmers OF this locality land they no
doubt are typical Of the farming COM
as any in the
state, and they can no longer see wherein
they are benefited by the Chinese wall of
protection for more than a revenue. They
can not comprehend why corn is 10 cents
bushel, wheat 40 cents, and beef and pork
SO high when cattle and hogs are so low.
They do not see Why the manufacturer of
a pillow should receive SIS for plow that
cost less than S. to make; nor why gallon
of kerosene oil should cost him % cents
that cost the producer less than cents.
In fact they cannot comprehend why the
untold millions of money are pouring into
the Golfers of the manufacturer and bank
vaults of the east, slipping away from
them like the darkness of night encroach-
ing on the vanishing day.
Already the deep rumble that announ-
ces the eruption of the volcano is heard
among the leaders of the party here.
We are still Republicans, but we must
have change in the management of af-
fairs. If protection is good thing then
go farther and protect the farmer against
the wolves clothed in purple and fine linen
backed up by the Standard Oil, beef and
pork combines, boards of trade to control
the price of grain. national banks with
their monometal policy, farm machinery
combines. sugar, salt, glass and a host of
other trusts that are sapping the heart
blood OF the toiler. Business is stagnatsd,
farm values deprecated, rates of interest
increased and money scarce, thus putting
premium on rascality and and honest deal
ing at a discount Then on with the 're-
beIlion," and God speed the day which will
witness the downfall of class legislation
and the new era Of prosperity ushered in
by free, unlimited coinage of silver with
q blmetal policy, the monsters of com bines,
trusts, etc. to be but phantoms of men,
