Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-03-03

SENATOR INGALLS, said not long
since that "the decalogue and gold
den rule have no place in political
campaign" The Kansas legisla-
ture and the Kansas people have
lust said that Mr.. Ingalls, has no
place in the senate. 1t will be hap
by day in our country when a
senator who says or acts as though
the moral law is not binding on him
will be retired at once from the list
of active public officers. His dream
was not all dream, for the Kansas
Legislature did some purifying of
politics by retiring the Senator from
his seat in congress.-The Midland.
Yes, we feel ever grateful to the
Lord of lords and King of kings
that we have in Kansas some chris
tians who vote the way they pray.
We are also grateful that we have
thousands of voters who have a
moral conscience, and believe that
decalogue and golden rule have a
place in politics, and vote according
to the dictates of their conscience.
This is the class of voters who have
been purifying politics in Kansas OF
late. On the other hand, we are
sorry to say that we have some who
pretend to be christians and moral
lists, and at the same time they have
been and are still villifying and
abusing those who are engaged in
the work of purifying the politics of
our nation so as to better the condi-
ton of the masses of our citizens.
To this class of villifyers, allow us
to say, May the good Lord have
mercy on them, for they are so
blinded with party prejudice and
the villianous lies they read from
their party organs, that they know
not what they do.

S. B. SpRADLY handed us a copy
of the Greenfield (Ill.) Argus, one
day this week, which contained a
dream of an old comrade, Thomas
Skaggs. His revelation was that,
in 1892, it will be a solid south,
Democratic, against busted north,
all caused by these F. M. B. A. and
Farmers Alliance movements.
Spradly says that kind of a dream
may do for Skaggs, but it isn't a
circumstance to the dream he had a
few nights ago. In Spradly's reve-
lation it was a solid people, of the
north, south, east and west, in 1892,
with the Democratic party huddled
in little corner in the northeastern
part of the United States, and the
Republican party, well he
dreamed that there had been a Re-
publican party, but it had put up
the shutters and gone out of bust
ness Kincaid Kronicle.
If the late elections, the signs Of
the times, the bowling, wailing and
lamentations of political agony that
are now coming up from along the
line of the Republican party in
Kansas are to be taken as an indica-
ton, Mr.. Spradley's dream is only
a circumstance to the actual condi-
ton of the party now in Kansas.

IT is estimated the late Indian
trouble cost the government 2,OOO,-
600.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-03-03

Is it not little singular that
nearly all the concentrations Cleve-
land receives for writing his anti
silver letter come from the Repub-
licans ?-Kincaid Kronicle.
Why should it be singular seeing
that the Republican and Democratic
parties both stand in the same boat,
against free coinage, as is fully
shown by the vote of the house
coinage committee. Five out of
eight of the committee that voted
against the free coinage bill were
Republicans and three were Demo-
Gratis. You see Wall street is
against free coinage, and both the
old parties are for Wall street and
whisky.

Our exchanges from the 6. o. p.
dens are filled with false statements
purported to be copied from Alliance
papers, but they do not give the
names Of those papers-they can
not. This stuff is prepared by the
bond-holders, who control both the
old parties, for the batteries that
support the Demo-Republican bank
ing and and bond-holding aristoc-
risy, and it is being fired at the old
soldiers, the mortgaged farmers and
business men to drive them back in
to the ranks of the old parties and
poverty. There is not an old party
paper but what is masked battery
behind Shylock's fort in the COM
mand of plutocracy.

DURING the late campaign in this
state, the prominent inscription up
on the Republican banner was j. j..
Ingalls,, who was a southern sympa-
thizer, or copperhead, during the
war, and now there is a doleful
sound emanating from the Repub-
lican leagues and their associated
saloons, that "the rebels of the
south have defeated ingalls,, OF
Kansas" with PETER, an old soldier
who was loyal then to the north,
and is now loyal to both north and
south. Peffer's election has not
lacerated the feelings and torn the
heart-strings of the old soldiers, as
it has lacerated the feelings of the
bond-holders and torn their grip
from the industries of this country.

senator German and the Presidency.
The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Mass Republican has
the following to say about Senator
German as possible Presidential tim.
Der: THE enthusiastic friends OF
Senator German have been prompted
by his sklllful management against
the force bill to suggest his name for
the next Presidential nomination OF
the Democratic party. The subject Is
hardlya serious ono. however, from
tho fact that Senator German comes
from Southern State.
Rapidly as the war prejudices have
faded from the public mind of late,
II would be too rash an experiment for
tho Democratic States OF the South to
ask the assistance OF Northern States
in electing n Southern man. Senator
German would be popular candidate
with the elements that oppose bir.
Cleveland. and would probably be a
better President than Governor Hill, OF
New York, but Governor Hill has the
advantage OF living In a doubtful
State"
Senator Germans love for Mr..
Cleveland Is not deep-seated, but he
has been too skillful politician to
show his hand openly against him.
He might allow himself TO be voted
for in the national convention If there
were not perfect unanlmlty for Mr..
Cleveland, but he would hardly expect
the nomination. The Tammany men
here say that, while they like Senator
tiorman, Governor Hill Is their favor
lite, and they still hope to have an OPP
portunity to support him.
Some friends of Senator German
have been looking over the field a lit
tie, but the most encouraging signs
they discover are that there Is still a
strong undercurreut OF dislike for Mr..
Cleveland among the spoilsmen, and
that Senator German Is one OF the
men they would DO willing to sup
mort

20, saying he was going TO a mill TO
buy feed. He has not been seen by his
family since. II appears that Mr..
Eichlln did not go to the mill, for no
was seen In Rlegelsville the next day
after his disappearance and was also
seen in Milford, Nj, where he boarded
Il train.
1t is feared by his family that he may
have been foully dealt with, as ho
generally Carried considerable money
on his person, and they have billed tho

SCRANTON, Feb. ll.-1his morning
citizens We're startled to hear that dur
ing the night professional cracksmen
had been at work Mt three places in the
city. On Washington Avenue the
paint store of f. }. johnson had been
entered, the safe opened, and two
valuable diamonds used in cutting
glass distracted.
An attempt was made to enter the
drug store Of Theodore FTancke on the
same avenue. A large glass was cut
from side door but the approach OF
an officer evidently scared lie thieves
away. The third place entered was
the office of the Eureka Laundry, a
block and half distant from the other
places. Access to the Office was
gained by means of a basement win
dow. The safe was opened by means
of the combination, but u large pay
mcnt made the previous night had
stripped ii of all cash except u solitary
- note, which was appropriated. A
number of checks were ulidlsturbed.
The singular feature oil these rObberies
is that III opening both safos the burg
lars We're able to guess tho combina-
tons.

Tho rule forbidding the boys and
girls who attend the public schools to
assemble in the vicinity of the school
house prior to the ringing of the bell,
and yet requiring punctual attendance
at the opening OF the doors, under
penalty of Icing kept in at the end OF
the session, Is "A rather an arbitrary one,
as enforced by irresponsible teachers,
and the members OF the Board of Pub
lie Education should give the matter
their attention.
There should also be some inquiry
into the propriety of the punishment
enforced for trivial offences. as in
some instances il seems to be entirely
disproportiOned to the dement's of the
pupil. There is little justice in keep
ing child in an hour or requiring the
writing of 500 words for an uninten-
tional offence, and putting parents to
Inconvenience or causing them un-
Business in consequence of delay OF
their children TO return to their homes.

was given by two physicians at the
time that death was caused by the
rupture of blood vessel, and the man
was buried on the 4th of FEBRUARY.
Five brothers OF the dead man
appeared before Shenandoah Justice

they believed their brother had been
poisned or otherwise fouly dealt with.
They accused two men who boarded

petersburg ludeX-Appeal (Deu.)
There appears to be disposition on
the part OF q number OF Democratic
newspapers TO bellttle the Importance
OF the reciprocity treaty which has
just been negotiated with Brazil by
Mr.. Blaine, and, strange to say. IL is
most marked in those papers that have
been most loudly elamoring for free
trade with all the world. As matter
OF fuct, the change in our export trade
relations inaugurated by this treaty,
which Inns been concluded under the
authority of the reciprocity clause of
the Mckinley tariff law, is not only
OF immediate but OF great future in-
terest.
Macon Telegraph Dcm.)
We think it should be admitted by
even his political enemies that Mr..
Blaine has won great triumph in
concluding successfully his negotia-
lions for reciprocity treaty with Bra
zil-and 1t is peculiarly a personal
triumph. He can point to the Brazilian
treaty as the first fruit of his new
policy and to the agitation in Canada
us an indication OF the great results to
which it may lead. As for the treaty
itsolf, IL Is a good one. The advantages
over European rivals which the treaty
gives are valuable, and the articles OF
Brazilian export which are given free
entry TO our ports were also made free
by the Mckinley bill, i'll the form that
it existed before Mr.. Blaine interfered.
So no revenue is sacrificed, while posi-
tive advantages for our traders are
gained.
