one that did not suit the bosses; let the
old bosses fix things for them, then or
der them to dance to the old ring music.
The campaign of 1883 was the most
stupenduOus and disgusting farce ever
enacted on the theater of american pol
itics, says an exchange. 1t was neither
sincere, entertaining or instructive.
The entire cast Of the performance was
arranged to deceive and delude the spec
tatOrs. From the dscorded music Of
the orchestra to the falling of the cur
tain after the scenes, there was not one
thing about the whole program which
we would wish to recall or desire To wit
ness a second time. But the home tai
ent exhibition of 1890 promises to be
Of the most entertaining character here
in Kansas.-Torch of Liberty.
The above is true even in this county.
We are prepared to prove that the ring
bosses did any amount of dirty work,
even to furnishing the dancers with
cheap clothing, cigars and IS cents Il
day to do their dirty work for them. TO
meet in secret every night between the
primaries and the convention, to down a
set of square men, whom the big 9 did
not like, simply because they would not
truckle to the dirty work of the big9.
Don't forget we have the proof for
every word we say, and We are not
afraid to say it.
On last Monday, Representative Oates
from the judiciary committee reported
to the house bill to prohibit aliens
from acquiring title to or owning lands
within the United States. In the ulti-
mate report accompanying the bill the
committee says:
1.-The power of the government to to-
tally excludes aliens from coming within
it's Jurisdiction, as has been done in the
case of the Chinese. no one questions.
This sovereign power certainly includes
the lesser one OF defining what property
rights they may exercise, after they are
admitted, and during the continuance Of
their alien condition. your commit
tee has ascertained," says the report,
with reasonable certainty. that GER
tain nOblemen of Europe, principally
Englishmen, have acquired and now
own, i'm the aggregate, about 81 900, 900
acres of land in the United States. We
have not sufficient information to state
the quantity owned by untitled aliens,
nor is it so important "a it is generally
held in smaller bodies. This alien nom
resident ownership will, in the course
Of time, lead to system of landlOrdism
incompatible with the best interests and
the free institutions Of the United
States. The foundation of such a sys-
TEN is being laid broadly in the western
states and territories.
The bill proposes to place those aliens
under disabilities of the civil law, as t."
all future attempts to acquire lands i'm
this country. In other words the report
saws. the bill is a declaration against alb
sentee landlOrdism. 1t declares all for
eign. born persons who have not been
naturalized, incapable of taking title to
lands anywhere within the United
States, except a lease-hold for not ex-
ceeding five years.-Fulton (Ill.) Dem
Ocrat.
1t does not make any difference how
many bills like the above, or the free
coinage silver bill, or any other bill that
is not sanctioned by Wall street, N. Y.
and by the English and millionaires of
this country. They will never pass the
present congress which is owned and
controlled by the money kings of this
country and England.
