Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-04-07

The Garnett Eagle of recent date,
upon a certain question, intimated
that the AGITAToR had not been truth
full, and demanded Of this paper to
"put up or shut up" In reply, the
AGIrAToR made truthful statement,
and, very naturally, expected that
the Eagle would correct wrong i'm
pressions that may have been made
upon it's readers, but, up to date, the
Eagle is silent. We refer te the
item in regard to the governors
message upon the age of consent !;
and if the Eagle does not consider
that we "put up" in our last issue,
we beg leave to call it's attention to
an editorial in this issue; and if
that is still unsatisfactory, we can
assure the Eagle that the subject is
not yet exhausted.

The trouble with the Italians at
New Orleans is the legitimate fruit
of unrestricted immigration. Had
not the contractors, manufacturers,
etc., Of this country been enabled to
import foreign convicts and paupers
to take the place of honest Ameri-
can laborers, the band Of assassins
and cut-throats known as the Malta
would have been unknown in the
United States. Another thing to
which we would call the attention
of our readers is the fact that the
recent trouble in the Pennsylvania
mining districts was inaugurated
and kept up by foreign cheap labor
ers who have been imported to take
the place of Americans. We hope they
will continue to raise hades until
the people Of this country get their
eyes opened. Then, maybe, Ameri-
can laborers will have chance.

WE know that it is part of the
ring press tactics to try to down the
Peoples party by falsehood, but we
had hoped that there would be, here
and there, a journal that would not
Join the Ananias club, and that one
of the exceptions would be the
Eagle but, with sorrow, we are
forced to say that indications point
to the conclusion that the noble
bird-the emblem of courage, free
dom and strength-will stoop so
low as to be no better than a COM
mon buzzard. The Eagle had better
"put up or shut up" or else hoist a
turkey-buzzard.

Ed. AGITAroR l see that the
grand high-cockalorums of the
Methodist church, recently in con-
vention assembled, have in their
sublime wisdom voted again to ex-
clude woman from having any voice
in their deliberations. They tell
them that they can come to church
if they will behave themselves and
obey the rules and regulations that
they (the bishops) enact for the
church, but they don't propose to
let you women have any voice in
making laws whereby you shall be
governed. You women can run the
missionary society, the sewing cir
Gle, the prayer meeting (if you
don't have much to say and if we
should be in want of funds to re-
pair the church, or fix up the par
sonage, or pay the preacher his back

The Age-OE- Consent Amendment

1t will be remembered by our
readers that the governor, in his
message, recommending an amend
ment to the age-ofconsent law, says,
speaking of persons placed in GER
tain positions, that instances of
very great hardship have been the
result" The governor does not
specify the instances of hardship"
so we are left to infer that the cases
of hardship are few and far between,
and the class upon whom the hard
ship falls are persons not entitled to
the sympathy of any lover of pur-
ity. But, be that as it may, one
thing is certain, and that is that the
law of 1887 is law for the protec-
ton of females under eighteen years
of age; and if the law protects
such, it fulfills the mission it's franz
ers intended that it should full
fill. Now, there is no pretense on
the part of the governor, nor on the
part of the Republican senate, that
the law works a hardship upon
young girls, and therefore there can
be no reasonable doubt but that
amendment recommended by the gov
ernor and passed by the senate is in
the interest of the destroyers of the
purity of womanhood, and works a
only upon those against whom the
law is directed. There is no doubt
that the law enforced against steal
ing horses works great hardship, in
the estimation of the horse-thief,
but no governor has dared to plead
for an amendment to that law that
would let the horse-thief go free.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-04-07

DID any reader of this paper ever
hear of law compelling the people
of this nation to pay the funeral ex-
penses of deceased senators and
congressman {? Were such law in
existence, would it be just Yet,
only few days ago, about a hum
dred thousand dollars Of burden
was placed upon the people in order
that lot of statesmen (?) might go
on .junketing tour across the con-
tinent, presumably to attend the
funeral of Senator Hearst, of Cali
fornia, but in reality to indulge in
drunken spree, for about half of the
hundred thousand dollars was spent
for liquor. And THE PEOPLE HAVE TO
PAY THE BILL !! For shame !

pay THAT us fellows failed to sub
scribe), why we will let you women
get up a festival, make the coffee
and doughnuts, and solicit amongst
your friends and get all you can,
and do all the necessary work in or
der that it will be a success, finan-
cially, but don't talk to us of voting
about what shall be done with the
money that you raise-we will at
tend to that matter. You women
are commencing to want altogether
too much, and if we don't look out
you women will want to be bishops
and elders and preachers, etc., etc.
Now the question naturally
arises, why is it that man is so
afraid of the women voting or hold
ing office Are they afraid that
they will excel, and do the busi-
ness 80 we'll that that their occupa-
tion will be gone? Well, that is
just it. They see with alarm the
progress and success that women
are making in every department,
both public and private, and think
that the women are encroaching on
their rights not thinking that wo-
men have any,; the bishops see a
most formidable rival in the women,
and they are afraid if they give
them a chance, they will improve
on their old fogy methods and run
things better than they were ever
run before. You are correct, bish-
ops, on that line. The saloonists
see that women are at the head of
all reform movements, and if they
were allowed to vote, they would
soon legislate the business out OF
existence, and in that line the 6. o.
p. of morality and reform" in the
senate killed the female suffrage
bill passed by the Peoples repre-
sentatives in the house, and so the
saloon is correct on their line.
There are some men that see some
thing awful in women making ali
honest effort in demanding their
rights and trying to elevate them
selves to higher plane than can be
found in the common drudgery Of
the kitchen.
"Woman's place is at home" says
the sublime wisdom of man, and in
nine cases out of ten the man that
says that (if he is married) has a
wife that is his peer, morally, social
ly and intellectually. The Peoples
party in Anderson county lost the

Kinley bill, since the decline in the
price of sugar, and are inclined to
give Mckinley the credit for the re-

terminate that the trust will not

it was before, but will get the bene-
fit of the bounty of two cents per

our Republican friends sing praises? !?

CLEVELAND vIRoINIA's CHOICE.

About ten days ago a circular letter was
sent from TuE TINES Office to IT'S correspon-
dents in every county in the State. requesting
them TO interview three or four representa-
tive Democrats in their respective Localities as
to their choice for the Presidential nominee OF
the Democratic party in 1892. Up to this
time nearly half the State has been heard
from. and no doubt other replies viii be re-
ceived for some days yet Enough has been
learnel. however. 20 show the drift Of public
sentiment. and from the forty or more re-
spou.es published this morning, the follow
ing conclusion are plain:
First. that lIr. Cleveland is the undoubted
choice Of the Virginia Democracy. He has a
clear majority a-ains, the entire field, and
over 100 per cent. majority over bis most
formidable opponent. Governor Hill. The gen
eral feeling is that. taking everything into
consideration Mr. Cleveland is the strongest
best and most available candidate the Demo-
crat, Of .he United states can select for the
next standard bearer.
Second that while Mr.. Clcvelands letter in
opposition 20 the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver has hurt him 20 some extend, and
that but for that he would have been the al
most unanimous choice of the Virginia De
mocracy. hc is still everywhere admired for
hi manly honesty. and for his outspoken way
of expressing his convictions Of right. regard
less of any political consequence to himself
Third that the general conviction is that
before THE campaign of '92, the silver question
VIII have largely solved itself, and that the
great issue to DE fought and decided in that
contest will be that of protection formonopoly
against tariff reform for the people.
Fourth, that irrespective Of all personal
preferences. the Virginia Democracy will sup
port the Democratic ticket andthe Democratic
nominee. no matter who may be selected to
bear tho Democratic banner ia ~.
These are The conclusions to be reached
from the verdict Of representative Democrats
throughout Virginia as foreshadowed in the
interviews published in The TIMES to-day.
All are given Just as they were received. and
our own people, and the Democracy Of the
Union ms well. can see for themselves there
from the tendency Of Democratic opinion in
this old Commonwealth.
