HARRISON. THE SMALL.

If, as has been limited, Ben Harri-
son has any aspirations to succeed
himself in the presidential office, he
is certainly dealing with a very
vague, unsubstantial and illusory
shadow, and would better far be en-
gagged in chasing zephyrs. A few OF
his intimates may have succeeded in
making him believe that he stands a
show OF a denomination, but they
are in most every instance composed
of interested patriots whose Office
seeking propensities and Iongings
have been gratifed and who are sup
posed to be actuated by sentiments
of gratitude in trying to work up a
second term boom for Bro. Ben and
to create an impression that he is es-
teened even in the smallest degree
on account of his wisdom and good
ness as ruler over his people. The
truth is, that Benjamin Harrison has
not only forfeited the respect of
uenlocrats, puG Is rapidly losing
caste in his own party, and no re-
publican of prominence would like
to have his wisdom and his foresight
questioned by maintaining that Rar-
rison has filed the expectations of
his party, that he is popular with
his party or any considerable num-
bers Of his party outside of the of
tice-holders personally indebted to
him, or that he is seriously consid-
cred as a candidate for re election.

UNCLE SAINTS NAVY.

The last issue of the Luling Sig
nal contains the following pointed
paragraph:
The surviving soldiers who ''sav-
ed the Union" have degenerated
into nothing but a miserable band
of government sap suckers. Con
trast them with the men who fol-
lowed the Stars and Barsl
There is no comparison between
them and it isn't any compliment to
the Southern soldiers to be COM
pared or even to be contrasted with
them. Of course this isn't intended
as sweeping assertion. There
were noble exceptions. But the
truth is that the great majority of
the rank and file of the soldiers
composing the federal armies were
made up of hired Hessian bands and
hired substitutes, differed by West
Point aristocrats, while the confed-
eracy composed the flower of the
youth, chivalry and true yeomanry
of the South, who went forth in a
holy and noble cause in the sacred
defense of their homes and fresides.
Secretary Blaine and other promi-
nent republicans know something
about the hired substitutes. The
union army which Saved" the ma
ton was pretty much made up of
the kind of riff-raf of which the
navy Is shown to be made up by the
recent investigation of the charges
of bullyism and cruelty against
Commander McCalla, of the Enter
prise, before the court OF inquiry.
The evidence showed that when the
ships crew went ashore, on their
cruise, at Cronstadt for gunnery
practice, and at Rouen and various
other places, the entire crew was
brought back in such state of
drunkenness and characterization
that they had to be put in irons to
keep them from taking possession
of the ship. AS the New Orleans
Times-Democrat truly says, the
navy is composed of all nationalities
under the sun there being only one
American in every five at most and
they compose the ritf-raff of the mer-
chant marine of the world; that
more than one half of the sailors

GEO. CLARK AND THE RAILROADS.

GEO. CLARK AND THE RAILROADS.
Although the Hon. George Clark,
of Waco, has won the soubriquet of
Warwick" of Texas politics, he did
not win it by his much speaking,
but by his quiet, cool, deliberate
and dignifed way of directing and
managing affairs. Of late, however,
Mr.. Warwick" Clark has manifested
almost as great willingness to have
his name and his views paraded be-
fore the public through the columns
of the newspapers as some of his
less able, more aspiring, less digni-
fed and more ridiculous confreres-
Barney Gibbs, for instance. Judge
Clark recently submitted" to an
interview" with reporter of the
Dallas-Galveston News in which he
aired his views at length on the pro-
posed establishment of state rail
way commission, and gave the pub
lie to understand that the anti-rail-
way commission politicians would
have a candidate in the field. Mr..
Clark makes vigorous onslaught
upon the proposed railway commits
sion measure, and well knowing the
state of the popular feeling against
paternalism, nationalism and other
kinds of "isms" with a tendency to
socialism and anarchy, tries to
arouse that popular sentiment in OPP
position to the creation of a state
railway commission by characteriz-
ing the sentiment which demands it
as an outgrowth and an of-shoot
and modification of socialism. For
instance, he drags in the recent fight
made by the Southern members of
congress on the late Blair educa-
tional bill because of its paternalis-
tic features and tries to make it a
case in point. Whereas, there is no
parity of reasoning about it ard
the two cases are not con all tours"
with each other at all. Paternalism
as applied to soulless corporations
and to individuals is different any
way. If it would be paternalism or
.unwarranted or impolitic interior
ence on the part of the legislature
to create a railway commission, it
was paternalism, unwarranted inter
ference and usurpation on the part
of the legislature when it reduced
railway passenger fare from five
cents to three cents a mile. And
all of the laws at present on the
statute books requiring trains to
stop for certain length of time at
railroad crossings, and all laws
aimed against pools and combines
and all laws in any way seeking to
regulate railway traffic are danger
GUS and of communistic tendency.
Notwithstanding the judges elo-
quent words of warning they sound
more like the remarks of one who
had been used to pleading the cause
of the railroads in the courts as q
regularly retained attorney.

THE KANSAS G. o. p.

been regarded as being typical re-
publican state, whose repubicanism,
for genuine gall, disunion, sectional
hate, bigotry and intolerance, could
double-discount that of any of the
most vituperative 6. o. p. orators OF
the Old Bill Chandler stripe in the
East. Bnt as the good book teach
es that while the lamp holds out to
burn the West sinner may return,
even Sc there is hope of political re-
generation and Of redemption in
this hitherto choice garden spot Of
republican fanaticism and sumptu-
airy rule. The G. o. p. is faring
worse and worse every year in this
state. It's former majority OF
eighty-two thousand was cut down
last year to fifteen thousand, and
there is the strongest assurance for
believing that this year it will be en-
tirely wiped out. As already men,
toned, the county alliances met at
Topeka last week and severely
arraigned John Jayhawker ingalls,,
who misrepresents them in the United
States senate, declaring that during
his eighteen years of service in the
national body he had not done a
thing to advance their interests, and
pledging themselves not to vote for
any candidate for the state legisla-
ture this fall who favored the return
of ingalls, to the senate And while
the farmers are after the scalp of
this little gall-visaged disseminator
of the doctrine of hate and dena-
tionalization, the ''resubmissionists
are making it pretty interesting for
the 6. o. p. on the prohibition ques-
ton. The ''resubmissionists" are
composed entirely OF anti-prohibi
ton republicans. They uncondi-
tionally demand a repeal of the
sumptuary clause in the constitu-
ton. To show that it has injured
the state they allege that Kans as
lost $4,000 of its population last
year by emigration; that out of A.
400 immigrants who landed in this
country last year, Kansas only got
2600, while Nebraska received 1922
600 and Texas $4,000; that crime
has not diminished under prohibi-
ton, as has been frequently claimed
by prohibition officials; that the
criminal cases have more than
doubled since prohibition was en-
acted; and that the farmers have no
adequate home market for their pro-
ducts and that there Is widespread
dissatisfaction. The resubmission-
lists claim that prohibition not only
operates as a menace and practical
prohibition to immigration from
European countries, and not only
retards the material development
and growth of the state, but that it
is playing sheol with the g. o. p.
They say that something has to
"drap" sooner or later; that prohibi-
ton must be done away with, and
that if it doesn't receive its quietus
right away it will come up unbidden
like Banquo's ghost as an unpleas-
ant spectre in the presidential cleo
ton. The resubmissionists, there
fore, propose to make the repeal of
prohibition an issue right away in
the coming fall elections, and be-
tween them and the farmers alliance
ingalls, and the e. o. p. may be left
stranded high and dry.
