A Dangerous Tendency.

There seems TO be a tendency in
these latter days to magnify those
things that should be below notice
and decry those which should be our
pride. The time was when the love Of
country included thought for its well
fare and an effort on the part of the
people to put in control Of all of
its departments men who were recon-
mended because of their accomplish
ments as citizens and members of the
great mass of the people.
But how is it?
The political mounte-bank is in the
ascendant.
Here in Kansas we have elected a
man to partake in the nations councils
whose only recommendation is that his
feet are actually or pretendedly bare.
He is talked of, written up and is just
Drainless enough to be proud of it, put
ting on his cards, mo Socks" He
cannot spell as we'll as the ordinary
schoolboy, he is admittedly ignorant
though garrulous, and yet the people
accept him with unconcern to preside
in part over our nation. Other politi-
cal mounte-banks take courage at this.
The younger generations think there
is something laudable in the action
and as result Kansas is today the
laughing stock of the sensible men of
the country and the eastern press re-
fers to the state as on the verge of
lunacy in things political. Is it not a
pleasant prospect? Kansas is not
lacking in brainy men, in men of large
thought of whom it is proud, men
whose names and whose personality
are honored in the world of science
and of art.
But in spite of this the class OF in
dividuals, of whom in our own neigh
borhoods we are actually ashamed,
men whose ability or learning and fair
mindedness are below par, are put to
the front to handle the affairs of us all.
The nation is great family; the state
is but smaller family. 1t is dan
gerous tendency of the times when the
press and the people make much of
the baser elements of the community
and honor them with great trusts.

Necessity of Good Roads.

Dickinson county is, so to speak,
knee-deep in mud. The country roads
are in state of plastic sickness that
has seldom or never been equaled in
this county. The effect is to cause the
farmers much difficulty in getting to
market and much annoyance in their
necessary travel.
1t, too, impresseS upon them the need
of good roads. Money spent by the
county or township in improving the
public highways is we'll spent. A good
road brings the farmer 80 much nearer
market. Ten miles over an easy high
way are less than five over a difficult
one. Kansas has been noted for its
fine natural roads. This will not
always be the state of affairs unless
there is more care taken. The in
creasing travels wearing the roads out
and our farmers should be quick to see
that suitable repairs are made. 1t is
not only a dry weather road that is
wanted but one for all weathers and
someday, if it is not done now, the peO-
pie of Kansas will have to completely
overhaul their roads.

KING KALAKAUA DEAD.
The Rare Event of n King Dying In tn
United states.

The Rare Event of King Dying In the
United states.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 21.-King Kala-
kaua. of the Hawaiian islands, died at
the Palace Hotel in this city at 10
o'clock yesterday morning. He had
been in an unconscious condition for
over twelve hours. Bright's disease was
the cause of his death, He was TO have
left here this week for Honolulu on the
United States flagship.
Kalal1aua was elected King in 1874 by
the legislative assembly, over Queen
Emma, widow of King Lunalilo. The
monarch was genial, full of tact, free
liver, a bad poker player, extravagant
in his tastes and always hard pressed
for funds.
He was educated, accomplished and
agreeable and possessed of some schol-
arship. One of his hobbies was to
trace the source of the Hawaiian peo-
pie to the Aryan race instead OF the
Malayan to which it was attributed.
Queen Kapiolani survives him He had
no children The dead monarch had
twice been a visitor to the United
States, and on his first tour was royalty
entertained. His wife's recent tour OF
this country Is well remembered Kali

Things at Topeka

The REFLECToR's Topeka CORES
pendent gives today a careful survey
of the political situation at the capital.
The election Of Snow as state printer
yesterday cannot fail to strengthen the
ALLIANCES party in its opposition to In
gals and as ''E. T. c." points out the
throwing off of all restraint and plung-
ing into the much derided caucus has
served to make the union laborite
bosses of the befuddIed alliance legisla-
tors masters Of the situation. The
outlook for Ingalls, reelection is not
promising, while the possibility Of q
~hump's succeeding him is unpleasant

Peoples Party Theory and Practice

Peoples Party Theory and Practice.
Two of the most prominent issues on
which the peoples party loved to dwell
during the campaign of last fall were
opposition to bossism and opposition to
corruption in public life. Absolute
liberty of conscience and freedom from
all species of coercion in politics were
held out as the primary inducements
for farmers to throw aside their former
political affiliations and join party in
which every man should have the IN
trammeled privilege of thinking and
voting as he pleased.
And yet no sooner has this mush-
room organization attained a tenn
porary success than it exhibits
species of coercion and a system of
whipping into line" never equaled by
any other political organization in this
country. The condition of espionage
and terrorism in which the alliance
bosses at Topeka propose to keep every
member of the legislature would con-
sign to insigniicance all the bourbon
methods of Boss Tweed and the demo-
cratic methods adopted to keep the
southern states solidly in liue.
Every member is threatened with
political and social ostracism if he
shall in the exercise of his GOd-given
right to cast his ballot for such men
and measures as to him appear to
be for the best interests of his constit-
uents, devlate one hairs breadth from
the line marked out for him by his
political bosses. He is not only told
that any Independent action on his
part would render his future life I'M
comfortable, but the leading political
bag of the peoples party has publicly
announced her desire to pull one end
of the rope which should land such
culprit into eternity. BOssism is bad
enough but it is infinitely preferable to
threats of social ostracism and loss of
life and property made to compel men
to vote as their party dictates.
Again, during the short existence of
this self righteous political Organiza-
ton, the political atmosphere around
Topeka was never so full of deals and
trades and the integrity of the men,
bers of the legislature was never such
all object of suspicion as now hOvers
around the peoples party members.
They are not only suspected but a
system of espionage has been inaugur-
ated which should make every member
of that party who was elected to repre-
sent his district in the legislature,
resent the insult by publicly announc-
ing to these bosses that unless these
''spies" are sent home and this infa-
nous espionage stopped they will
Immediately resign. No American
citizen should tolerate such tyranny on
the part of political bosses.
1t is probably too much to expect pur-
ity in apolitical organization founded
upon caste and governed and controlled
by INSCRIPTIONS political characters by
means of pledges extorted i'm secret
meetings under grips ard sign. And
it is certain that the honest farmers of
this state will not have their confidence
in the purposes of the farmers alliance
strengthened by the political bossism
and evidences of official corruption
which have already developed among
the peoples party leaders at the state

THE southern democracy have dis
covered that sending missionaries
into the north does not pan out profit
ably and the Atlanta Herald advises
against such attempts, saying:
'It is a great mis- take to presume on
this thing of sectional peace to the
extent of sending southern orators
into northern districts. There is dan
ger of injuring the democracy, not in
driving democrats off, but in failing
to capture recruits from the element
thstSis debating the matter. This
had Something to do with the result
in the last presiden tial campaign
doubt it as you may. TIE best policy
is to pour oil on the troubled waters
at a distance"
Taffy the north from distance and
do not let the foot of present and
persistent sectionalism peep out by
actual contact. This is good advice,
but the little game is understood and
wont work. The north is not as cred
ulous as 1t once was.

city governments in all large cities
should own the streets and all transit

THOSE SO called eastern capitalists
who took hold of the pan-American
railway and were going to build from
Corpus Christi to Brownsville in six

buffers of the bursted boom. They
either have no capital or are holding
back to bleed Corpus, and the first
far more likely than the last. Their
