ROOM FOR BOTH PERHAPS.

I 500 no reason why both the new news
paper ventures in New York should not
succeed.
Col Cockerill's Advertiser, built on the
ruins of the Star and Continent, is a clean,
condensed, bright democratic paper which
costs but cent and is making its way
gradually, not by blowing of trumpets but
by its excellent news and editorial service.
Col. Cookerill probably stands next to Dana
in personal value as a newspaper editor, in
which category it is hardly fair TO class
MessrS. Pulitzer and Bennett in their
European retreats. Moreover, Col. Cockerill
has some very sufficient aids, bound to him
by his personal popularity with all news
paper workers and ready to sink or swim
with him.
The Advertiser is an EDITORS paper, and
the Recorder, under Mr.. Turner is pub
isher's paper. The la ter aims to keep peo-
pie talking about it. 1t is It's owners de,
hberate aim TO keep New York supplied
with novelists to discuss. The Recorders
vacation schemes, its blue sporting page, its
big Monday fashion cut, its Sunday il
Illustrated cover, are oil unquestionably
clever features, and the paper remains we'll
written, as it has been from the start.
Why shouldn'c both ventures succeed ?
New York is a big field and generous one.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER DRUNK.

On my first visit in London, l fled in hor-
TOR from an English Sunday TO some
suburb in the west On re ,urning | saw in
the busiest part of tue Strand CLARK"
from Cheapside and his sweetheart, rolling
along the sidewalk beastly drank. Both
were well dressed, the lad looked respecta-
bic aud the lass was pretty. HIS arm was
about her waist, but no oae paid the sigh
EST attention to them as they reeled back
and forth across the Sidewalk. / said to my
English companion: You'd never see
sight like that in New York" My sin OF
unrighteous national pride has found me
out. To-day saw in New York worse
sight by far.
It was father and daughter-their rela-
tionship apparent-drunk together in The
street. The girl was as pretty as the one |
had seen in London, the father a kindly
looking chap and well dressed. He was
wholly drunk, she had still a sense Of her
situation and was trying to take him homo
Her hat fell off in the street while she was
holding MIN by the arms. She hestated a
moment and then made a giddy lunge for
tina hat, while the mal escaped. She
reeled after him, caught him again, aud
by sheer nervous force, began propelling
him toward home again, though he was
twice as heavy and blessed with all drunk
ards obstinacy.
Oh, we're not quite all angels here in New
York.

A MARVEL OLE MECHANISM

Old Gutenberg, Faust or Caxton would
probably doubt his senses evidence if he
could see modern Unset press
don't believe any triumph of mechanism
ever surpassed the printing mac zine of 1891,
1t is SO big and complicated and marvellous
that people got past calling it "pressn
long ago and adopted the longer title. Pres,
was good enough word for GuJenberg
who really did put his sheets Of paper under
apress and apply the pressure by screw or
lever. Nowadays the FRESHMAN runs hia
paper in 1t at one end Of his machine. wind
ing 1t of q huge spool; at the other end il
emerges printed, pasted, folded and ready
for delivery, and this at the rate Of 10000
or 10000 or more copies per hou-.
The London Times at one time set its
matter up three or four times over for as
many type presses to get out its edition.
The invention OF stereotyping machinery
was tremendous advance There are
papers which run six, seven, eight, or even
ten presses at once, making all the plates
from single forms OF type.
The inset press, TIE latest development of
the printers art, is giant. 1t stands high.
broad and loag upon its brick walled nit a
marvel of intricate machinery. By chang
ing its tapes and rollers and folding knives
1t will print, four, six, eight, ten or twelve
pages as once, and deliver the comDlete
paper pasted and folded at the end of the
machine. Its roar is like the drumming of
an army OF cartridges. Sight is not more
quick than its motion, the intricate machin-
cry of great telescope not more accurate
and perfect than its wheels and coIs and
puIleys and linking rollers.
You can pay $40. 900 or $50, 900 for one
of these monsters, where $500 or $500 will
buy very respectable press for a oountr :
weekly. But the greater machine is wortf
the difference.
So rapid has been the improvement il
presses that nothing can be bought NOR,
cheaply than an old one A press which
was one of the best ten years ago is worth
less now. If it was new five years ago OF
four, it may bring a small part of its former
price. The live newspapers must keep III
with the times. A daily gain of few min
uteS in getting out the edition is worth
spending many thousands to accomplish.

railroad is threatened. But until it comes,
the same difficulties Of transit which have

place awhile uncumbered. But the city
must overrun it in the end, drive the rab-
bits out of their hiding places in the rocks,
root up the laurel, cut the great trees, dry
the springs and make it desolate and sub

cent. of the magazines they sell come back
to be bound.

are slamming shut. They are not employed
rs saleswomen of course. 1t is still manly
art to entertain the coy rural customer when
he is in town. and wheedle the orders for
goods from his reluctant pen. But women
typewrite the letters and do much of the
purely clerical work. They keep books and
act as cashiers. They have crept into most
departments of the business, beginning with
the stenogrGphio work.

Now that the smoke of the battle
is cleared away, it is generally con-
ceded that Judge PETER, whatever
his ability may be, is much nearer
in touch with the people than In
gals, being in sympathy with all
the reform movements going on in
Kansas. When Ingalls, was sneer-
ing at the prohibition movement,
PETER was in the thickest
of the fight in perfect har-
mony with the progressive clement
of society. When the time came
for the people to move, ere yet there
was any hope Of success, PETER
boldly proclaimed his adherence to
the new doctrine, and cast his lot
with the lowly, ami mingled with
the laboring masses with the same
earnestneSS and humility ana SIM
plicity as if he were one of the most
humble toilers. Instead of slurring
at christianity, as did ingalls,, ne
reverently, in his first speech after
being elected senator, refers to the
Master as his guiding star. Instead
of insulting the many noble women
of Kansas who believe in woman
suffrage, as did ingalls,, he lends his
influence to one of the most import
ant reforms of our time. No, the
Peoples party is not ashamed OF
Senator PETER. Kansas is not
ashamed, nor will it be, when PETER
has made a record, as he will, in the
what promises to be the most STIR
ring period in the worlds history.

The two old parties remind us of
skunks, when they get cornered-
they fill the air with stink. They
do not pretend to object to the de-
mands made by the Alliance and
Peoples party, but they ignore all
but the existence of the movement.
They denied that until it had knock
ed six of the Kansas horns off OF

Instead of trying to suppress it
with argument and reason, they are
singing from their press, as skunks
throw the stencil from their tails,
dirty, silly and filthy falsehoods.

Republican Party Opposed to
Reform.

NeHOTMs
In all the debates that have oc-
Cured in the house, not one plea
has been made by the Republican
members for laboring people.
Without solitary exception, what
ever talent, whatever eloquence was
employed by Republican members,
was in behalf of the money power.
Deception, ridicule, abuse has been
resorted to, and used in combating
the plainly-expressed will of the
people at the ballot-box last cleo
ton. If the people could witness
the opposition to their measures,
and the methods by which it is
done, in Topeka since the converting
of the Legislature, a return to Re-
publican rule in this state would be
an impossibility. If the Republic
an members Of the Legislature repre-
sent the sentiment of the Republican
party in this state, or nation, the
sooner it is wiped out, the better
for the liberties of the people and
the prosperity of the nation. No
disposition has been shown at any
time by the leaders of the Republic
an party since the agitation began,
to fairly investigate the complaints
of the people f; to search out the
cause of unrest; to discover the
grievance to, in brief, locate the
disease and apply remedy. II
they had done this, then the people
could have believed that the acts OF
Republican party were unln-
territorial blunders and could have
been forgiven; but that party
claims that all it has done was right
and refuses to recede from that pc.
sition, even in the least of all its
iniquitous acts. At last the people
are forced to believe that their In
terests have been Intentionally be-
trayed by the party trusted and
vested with power. At last the
people are forced to believe that q
conspiracy, deep and damning, has
been entered into, embracing the
politician and the money power, in
which it is proposed to reduce the
working people to serfdom. Will
the conspirators succeed? We
shall see.

IT is real amusing to go back and
read in the Republican papers OF
the greatness of John Jeems, and
the grand speeches he has made in
the senate against ex-rebel briga-
diers, tariff, protection and SIGH,
but so far we have failed to see in
any of the aforesaid papers that
speech he delivered in the senate on
the 14th of January, 1891, or even
extracts or comments thereon. Isn't
it singular?

The newly appointed secretary of
the treasury is said to be thoroughly
in accord with Deacon Harrison and
Grover Cleveland's anti-free coinage
policy, hence the appointment is
satisfactory to the money lords.
Also it was kind of reward that
the Deacon owed the appointee for
the influence he exerted at Chicago
in 1888, in bringing about the NOM
nation of the Deacon, which was
satisfactory to the Deacon, and now
we presume it is satisfactory to the
appointee.

as true as gospel. tits truth that
we wish could be burned into the

people, from the judges of the SUI

farmers. 1t is truth that we wish
every county attorney in the state
had honesty and fidelity enough to
the voters that elected him, to so
state it publicly. The law was not
