Kind Hearted Constituents.

Morris county contains many kind
hearted citizens. We are acquainted
with some of them and know them to
be accommodating and of tender sympa-
thies. Their kindness has in the past
few days been amply shown.
The member of the house from Nor
ris county is Charles Drake, elected on
the alliance ticket because, like the
office seekers on the same list in Dick
inson county, he went about last fall
bowling reform, cursing the railroads
and monopoly and vOwing vengeance
on corporations.
But about a week ago Secretary Ben.
Rich, a member of the house, went
from his duties in Topeka to Wamego
to fix up political fences for P. P.
Elder over Sunday. Being of genial
disposition Coming from Morris
county, Mr.. Drake loaned Rich his
pass, for soma reason the SECRETARY
having been overlooked by the Union
Pacific. The conductor spotted the
man and took up the pass. Whereupon
the constituents of Mr.. Drake in Nor
ris county have sent on the following
petition signed by two or three hun
dred names:
To the General Passenger Agent Union
Pacific Rdill0ay:
WHEREAS, The Hon. Charles Drake
representative from Morris county
Kansas, has been unfortunate enough
to lose his pass over your road through
the inquisitiveness and arbitrary
action OF the conductor of the "Wame-
go plug" and
WHEREAS, The loss of said pass will!
greatly interfere with his usefulness as
a refOrmer, and
WHEREAS, 1t is evident to the most
careless observer that no man can de-
vote his entire time to reforming the
country and hating railroads on the
beggarly sum of 50 a day, without
pass on all railroads,
Therefore, We ask that Mr.. brakes
pass be returned.
Now if this isn't kindliness we are
no judge, Still, we believe that Dick
insOn county's citizens would do as
much if either Of our two legislative
refOrmers and corporation fighters
should lose their passes.

Brethren at Outs.

The Topeka Democrat poses as the
mouthpiece of the Kansas democracy.
1t has been overlooking with milk and
honey for the alliance since the move
ment started year ago. During the
campaign the democracy was straight
out for resubmission and the peoples
party scarcely mentioned the subject.
Still they worked together. When the
resubmissiOn bill came up last week
the Democrat said:
1t now remains to be seen whether the
peoples party IN the l. gi lature will tote
lair" or not.
Ifthey do tote fair, and as peoples party,
will trust the people to vote az ,in upon the
subject Of prohibition, all will be well.
Ifthey go back on their frieuds or allies
or whatever the Capital chooses to call the
democracy, which stood so 10y ally by the
peoples party then there will be war, and
war to the Enife, and the knife to the hilt.
When the house failed to vote in
favor of whisky, the leaders seeing
plainly that such course was against
the manifest desires of the majority of
the people of Kansas, the Democrat in
a column and a half of double-leaded
frenzy began the 'war to the knife and
knife to the hilt" act. 1t sails into
the alliance rough shod, accusing it of
everything mean, low and contempti-
bic and predicts grief unbounded for
its future course.
1t is passing sad to see brides in
their nests disagree so badly. Both
brides lone of which being a hen-hawk
aid the other buzzard) have long ago
lost all claims on the people of Kansas
and basely forfeited all trusts imposed
in them. Let them fight it out.
Meanwhile resubmission, to use a
trite but expressive phrase, is too dead
to skin.

The New District.

About every three days a new ap-
portiOnment bill is passed by the hOus,
of representatives. The latest freak
makes the fifth congressional district
consist of the following counties:
Shawnee, Usage, Lyon, Wabaunsee.
Chase, Morris, Marion and Dickinson
1t gives us John G. Otis for our con
gresham and puts Dickinson on the
extreme northwest edge of the dis
trict. Besides Abilene there will be
the following cities: Topeka, En-
poria, Usage City, Cottonwood Falls.
Marion, Council Grove. The district
will be one of the most important in
the state if so corsiltuted-but there
may be another shuttle by tomorrow.

LAND PERMITS.
Satchels Full Of Soldiers Declare
tory Statements.
TO FILE on LAND FOR SETTLEMENT.
Soldiers Induced By q Small Money Con-
sideration to Enter Scheme to Defraud
Honest Settlers of Their TitIes-Pro-
ceedings to Be Instituted.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The secre-
tary of the interior has received
authoritative information that parties
in Guthrie, Ok, and Arkansas City,
Kan, have ''satchels full" of sol
diers' declaratory statements awaiting
an opportunity to file them on land to
be opened to settlement in that terri
tory. 1t is stated that these parties
have visited soldiers homes in different
parts of the country and have obtained
from large numbers of old soldiers
powers of attorney to locate for them
1.-THE soldiers) lands in Oklahoma under
sections 23O4-05-09 of the revised
statutes. These sections permit any
honorably discharged soldier or sailor
to enter any of the public lands open to
settlement by fling his declaratory
statement of his purpose so to do, the
time he served in the army or navy to
be deducted from the term of residence
required under the general land laws.
These sections also permit the soldiers
and sailors to initiate their claims
through an attorney.
In the cases complained of the soldiers
were induced by small money consid-
Grafton to appoint the parties engaged
in the scheme as their attorneys. These
would Immediately file upon any desir-.
able tracts. So successful have they
been, it is said, that thousands of acres
have been entered, ostensibly by old
soldiers, when in fact it was a scheme
to defraud honest settlers. When any
of those settled upon piece of land the
alleged attorney" would wait until the
settler had built his house or fenced his
land and then would go to him and de-
mand a considerable sum of money to
relinquish the soldiers title"
The secretary does not wish to do
anything that would in any measure or
in any sense abridge the rights of old
soldiers to make homes for themselves
under the law and for that reason he
will not do anything that could be con-
strued into an abridgement of their
rights. The regulations of the depart
ment, however, provide that the attor-
ney of a soldier making an entry must
make oath that he (the attorney has
no interest direct or indirect in the filing
of the declaratory statement. This
rule presents a method by which the
unlawful scheme may be frustrated.
The secretary will institute criminal
proceedings for perjury against every
person who has made oath as stated
above, and in this way he expects to
put a stop to the many nefarious
schemes by which old soldiers who are
entitled to 100 acres of land are being
swindled. 1t is expected that proceed
lngs will be begun Immediately.

Defended Rnckner-

The first reported appearance of the
Hon. II. c. Harvey, Of this district on
the floor of the house in a debate took
place Saturday when he took the floor
and denounced the petty, selfish and
partisan fight that the alliance bosses
were making on Col. Allen Buckner
as superintendent of the Blind insti-
tuition. 1t is significant that Mr..
Harvey should have taken the floor
prominently for the first time, not as a
defender of some wild financial meas
ure, not in support of one of Sam
Woods nightmare bills, but in bitter
denunciatiOn of his own party for its
uncalled for and wholly selfish abuse
of an innocent man because he is a
republican. 1t is possible that Mr..
Harvey's eyes are opening to the peo-
pies party farce.
Mr.. Harvey has demonstrated that
while he has not made much noise in
the house he has watched things closely
and is prepared to stand by innocence
when assailed by prejudice. We are
glad to see the 6Sth districts repre-
sentative take this position and con-
graduate him on it.

The Northern Alliance.

Sol Miller mas sensible lucas Ou ueuJ
subjects and one of those subjects Is
the so called northern alliance" an
organization for the purpose of Offset
ting the southern bOssed affair now
prevalent. He says:
eff this alliance business were one OF
those things that could be neutralized
only by something else of a similar
character, we would say, go in. But it
would be too much like counteracting
the smell of a dead. hog with the smell
of a dead horse. 1t would be resorting
to an evil to cure an evil. To begin
with, the alliance carries within itself
the seeds of decay. A secret political
society in a government like ours is not
only unnecessary but it is dangerous.
Here the fullest freedom of discussion
and action is permitted, and no secret
organization is necessary to secure any
right. Such organizations are really
for the purpose of keeping knowledge
from the general public and to enable
designing and dishonest men to carry
out improper schemes by means of the
ceremonies, Oaths and chicanery be-
longing to secret cabals. They are the
nurseries of plots and schemes, which
beget jealousy and betrayal and the
result is disorganizatiOn.
"Our advice to republicans is, 60 in
to no northern alliances, and avoid the
present alliance as you would the doors
to hell if the gate stood wide open and
word "Welcome" were painted in gilt
letters over the arch. Stand up for
the old republican party, and do it
boldly. 1t is something a man need
not be ashamed of. He doesn't need
to sneak by lanes and by-ways to some
country school house with the windows
darkened, gain entrance by sign, grip
and password, and make his Obeisance
to some local stink pot set up as presid-
ing genius. If you go into such an
organization, you will have to pay lot
of fees, dues and assessments and buy
batch of rituals, records and supplies,
and take money out of your pockets to
enable gang of grand" things to
live at your expense. 1t is entirely
unnecessary. Participation in politics
is the right of every American citizen
without paying some dead-bead for
lot of new signs and pass words, every
few months, to entitle you TO that
right.
keep out. Then when the break
up comes, you will not have to come
sneaking back like boy VINO has been
sucking stolen eggs behind the corn
crib. When the prevailing alliance
smashes, as it is bound to do, those
who we've fooled into it
will come back to you with more re-
spect for you than if they knew you
had been in some sDeaking business,
too.
"This sort of republicans who have
gone into the alliance, will, when the
tumble comes, either slump over alto
gether into the democratic party, or set |
up as the same sour, belly aching mug |
wumps they were before. But those |
who were misled, Will |
come back to the party; and you want
to preserve your self respect, so as to
welcome t7em back. Keep sober, so
that you will be able to pull others out |
of the ditch. Keep out.
1--WE repeat, republicans, keep out
of all secret political organizations,
and stand by your cOlOrs."

among the maritime countries OF the
world, which was acquired by protec-
ton and lost by free trade.
Six new states have been admitted
since Mr.. Harrison was elected. The
conduct of the democrats toward these
territories prior to November 1888 af-
forded a striking exhibition of parti-
sanship, and it was only after that party
learned that the next congress would
be republican that they showed the
least inclination to treat the inhabi-
tants of those six states with any con-
sideration whatever.
This congress has passed a number
of important measures in the interest
of labor, all of which met the OppOsi-
tion of the democrats. Among them
are laws prohibiting alien contract
labor; an effective eight-hour law for
a full days work for all government
employees; a law prohibiting the en-
ployment of convict labor on any gov
eminent works, and prohibiting the
use of the product of convict labor in
any department of the government.
These and a great many other
measures which will add to the pros
perity and happiness of the people are
the product of the Fifty-frst congress.
The history of this country contains no
example in times of peace Of a con-
gress more remarkable for safe, wise
and helpful legislation.
