THE RAScALS WHO GOT IN.

From the New York Press.
A correspondent of the Press asks us

1T HURTS ME-"

This is Senator Peffer's plaintive cry
at all of his appointments when referring
to the paragraph in the address of the
republican league which reads: 1.-THE
wandering vagabonds who have joined
the alliance for political purposes only,
and who are trying to make living by
the sweat of their jaws instead of honest
toll" etc.
When men who have been associated
in the same party, lodge, church or
other association Of men, find cause to
separate, each going his way, some into
new organizations, and when these last
named utter and repeat the most bitter
and Incorporate denunciations of their
former associates, calling them all man
ner of bad names, is it strange that
some sort of retaliation is indnlged in
No political party in the history of
this country has ever been guilty in de-
gree equal to the alliance party-no!
equal to the few in that party who as
sumo to be it leaders-its peripatetic
howlers and its anarchistic writer's; NO
other set Of men making the attempt to
form new party, have ever begun their
work with so much of bitter vituperation,
30 much Of baseless calumny. 80 persist
emily repeated accusations of their old
party comrades as have the opponents
Of the alliance party.
Is it thought that all this does not
hurt?
And is it to be expected when such
} fight is on that return blows will not
be given? Aye! And it is quite salts
factory to leara that they hurt too

On a number of occasions We have
called attention to the character of the
organization known as the citizens ALI.
ance. 1t requires of its members that
they take an oath never to vote the
ticket of either of the old parties. A
man who takes such an oath voluntarily
surrenders the dearest right of an Amer.
lean citizen-the right to cast his ballot
for the man whom he thinks best dual.
flied for an Office, or for the principles
which he believes to be the nearest to
what his conscience and judgment tells
him is right.
There is no man SO selfsufficient and
confident of mis- own wisdom but will
acknowledge that he can at some time
err. There is no man-no man, mind
you-who does not reserve to himself
the right to change his politics or his
religion whenever his Judgment tells
him he should do so. The man who
has all his life voted either the republic
can or the democratic ticket and has
lately concluded to vote with the alli-
ance, has changed his mind because he
thought he had sufficient reasons for
doing 80. He was never required to
take an oath to vote either ticket. He
did SO because he thought he WAS doing
right, and he afterwards changed his
mind because he thought he was dong
right.
Is it not possible that he may again
wish to change his mind? Is it not
possible that the changing conditions
ofpolitics will make ons party the most
desirable one year and another party
the most desirable ia another year. Tho
man who reserves for himself his free
dom OF action can choose what he thinks
best; but the man who ties hiaself up
by an oath has lost his freedom-he 10
q slave to his own folly. OF such are
those Who become members Of that
most foolish of all foolish political 60
cieties called tho citizens alliance.
An example Of its character is told BY
the Marion record as follows:

SENATOR PEFFER'S PROTEST.
Kansas City. Mo-, journal.

Senator PETER, it seems, takes OK.
captions to the address recently put out
by the convention of Republican, League
clubs of Kansas. He feels deeply hurt,
be says, by certain expressions used in
the address having reference to the
leaders of the calamity party.
1t is to be regretted that he never
developed any feeling of sensitiveness
with reference to the good name of the
state which has SO signally honored
him. Most any man, with the slightest
interest, even, in the state, and
with any regard for it's future we'll
being. would have felt the necessity,
during the last year or two, of doing
everything in his power to sustain it's
credit and good name. Through COM
bination of circumstances the state has
been the object of a great deal of I'M
merited and hostile criticism in the
east, which has had the effect of not
only stopping the flow of money this
way for investment, but also of with
drawing large quantities of that which
had previously been invested in the
state.
The friends of the state early per-
ceived the necessity of correcting the
false impressions entertained in the east
concerning it, and to this end they la
bored earnestly and diligently, but their
labors were fer long time neutra)ized
by the course of lot of men, conspicu.
GUS among whom was Judge PETER. It
seemed to be their purpose to add in
every way imaginable to the grievous
burden under which the state then
staggered. Not satisfied with proclaim
ing throughout the length and breadth
Of the state that it was bankrupt, and
that hopeless ruin stared it's people in
the face. they travelled throughout the
whole country disseminating their wick
ed and malicious ISLANDERS. 1t was at a
time when the state had need of every
possible friend it had, and yet these
people made it the occasion for as bitter
and unrelenting war against it "a it is
possible to conceive of. No wonder their
course aroused the anger of the friends
Of the state and inspired contempt for
them even among those Who were utter
~ indifferent as to the states future.
But in spite of all this a mistaken
sentiment was responsible for Judge
Peffer's elevation to the senatorship. As
auch an exalted representative of the
state, he should certainly have felt the
necessity OF defending its good name
from assault from any quarter whatso-
ever, and yet he has it anything ira
duced it more bitterly than ever before.
1t he had confined himself to the truth
his course would have been reprehensi-
bic in the extreme, but when it is con-
sidered that he has INDUCED in the
most glazing misstatements rejecting
upon it, his conduct can hardly be called
less than disgracefpL
Under the circumstance he merits in
the fullest degree tho castigation he re-
oeived at the hands Of the republican
league convention, and his claim that
he has labored in the interest of the |
state is 90 disproved by his record as to |
make his claim little less than ridicu- |
lous. The charges made in the address |
are true, and Senator PETER will only
expose himself to ridicule by attempting
TO answer them.

The FalI-OTin Weight of Cattle.

One thing affecting and TO some extent
which Should not be overlooked, is that the
average weight of the ripened steer is some
what less than in ordinary seasons when
corn IS plenty and cheap II is not too
much to say that the average weight of
beeves going to the block now is from fifty
10 seventy-fve pounds per head less than in
years when corn was plenty. This does
not seem like a very great item, but when
the large number of cattle marketed, it witl
be seen that it must have considerable
bearing on the beef supply. Cattle have
been fed during the past winter just as lit
tie rs feeders felt safe in giving them if
they would obtain anything like results,
and the outcome is the difference in weight
ON which we have been commenting Ma
tional Stockman.

One thing which is so favorably affecting
the outlook for our cattle export trade is
that other countries which have heretofore
drawn on different sources OF supply are
liable to be compelled TO come to US for
good beeves at reasonable cost. II is now
the case that in many countries of Europe
good beef is almost beyond reach of people
