The Nh A. PICNIC.

The farmers began to come In early
last Saturday and long before noon
the streets were crowded with teams.
A great many of the Lodges came In q
body, and the long string of buggies
and wagons, following the bright
banners inscribed with the name and
number of the Lodge. presented quite
an imposing appearance. At about
1890 the band put In its appearance
and led the way to the grove which
was gay with banners and streamers
and noisy with the cries of the refresh
ment vendors and the proprietors of
various other entertainment devices.
Arrived there the crowd entertained
itself I'm numberless ways, as q crowd
always does, and everybody seemed to
find the day in the main happy one.
In fact had it not been for one thing
the picnic would have been an un-
qualified success: And that one thing
was the program, or to he more specific
the speeches by Mr.. Utley and Mr..
Powers. We refer to these speeches,
as we think they deserve, in another
place. Mr.. Foust spoke during the
forenoon very acceptably and appro-
priately. And the music furnished
by the Ladies Band called out much
applause and many compliments. The
only complaint heard on this score
was that they didn't play enough.
But that was the fault of those who
arranged the program, for the ladies
were on hand all day and played
whenever called upon. The grove was
found inadequate, as we had feared,
but the day was 40 pleasant that the
crowd found itself very comfortable
all day. In this connection, however,
we desire to correct what seems to be
a very general misrepresentation. 1t
is reported that the committee select
ed Horville's grove because the Park
Association wanted to charge them for
the use of the Park. This is a mistake.
The Association made no charge for
the Park last year, and it could have
been had this year on the same terms,
free, for the asking. This statement
is made, not to criticise the committee.
but i'm justice to the Park Association,
There were probably 1000 people on
the grounds, and with the exceptions
noted the occasion was very success
full and pleasant one. No mishaps oc-
Cured and everybody seemed to find
plenty of entertainment.

had any effect, was to leave those who
heard them discouraged and discon-
tented.
If the occasion had been announced
as a political gathering then no criti-
cism could have been passed upon the
gentlemen for making the kind of
speeches they did, although the
speeches themselves might have been
criticised. But the speakers knew
that the crowd had gathered there
with no more thought of partizan pol
itics than they would have in attend
ing Fourth of July celebration, and
knowing this they grossly violated the
confidence reposed In them and trans
crossed every rule of propriety by
making bitter partizan speeches. We
regret this especially-not because our
party was attacked, for attacks from
such men only strengthen it-but be-
cause it renders extremely improbable
the continuation of these annual pic
mics. The REGISTER hailed with
much satisfaction the Inauguration of
the custom, for it seemed a revival of
the beautiful old English Harvest
Home" festival, Ian occasion when the
people could come together from all
parts of the county and get acquainted
and have happy, care-free day, day
that as the years went by would come
to mean reunion of old friends. That
is what we had hoped from these +.
NJ. b. A. picnics. But how can the
hope be realized If they are turned
into a political bear dance, made the
occasion for malignant harangues by
professional agitators and preachers OF
discomfort, and the people sent home
either discouraged aud disheartened
or angered and insulted?
1t may be however,-and we hope 1t
will prove to be-that the experience
of this year will teach wisdom. When
the picnic is announced next year, let
il be understood that there are to be
no imported political charlatans, but
that the program will be made up OF
music and exercises by the various
Lodges, such as were announced for
last Saturday but were crowded out
by the speeches. Let such a program
as this be announced, and let 1t be un-
derstood that the main occupation of
the day will be for everybody to get
acquainted with his neighbOr and
have a good time, and the Picnic will
get back to its original intention and
be success.

THE Democratic State convention
met at Wichita Tuesday and nominat-
ed Chas. Robinson for Governors
man who has never admitted that he
Is Democrat and who was only nomi-
mated because the convention hoped
that the reputation and respectability
gained while he was 8 Republican
might distract attention from the UNI
savory record of the Democratic party,
and gain few outside votes here and
there. The fact that principle had
nothing to do with the case either on
the part of the nominee or of the con-
vention, must be admitted when 1t is
remembered that Mr.. Robinson was a
candidate o few weeks ago for the
same office before the convention
of the Peoples party-a party whose
cardinal dogmas are Numerically OPP
posed to the alleged principles Of the
Democratic party. But the people Of
Kansas are no longer surprised at any
thing that either Gov. Robinson or the
Democratic party may do. The plat
form declares that prohibition is a
failure and demands resubmission. 1t
has few other planks, but theyswere
put in as matter of form. 1--WE want
whiskey!" That is their main demand
and they repeat It again and agains
Very well. The Republican party &C.
cepts the issue, and will fight it out on
that line.
