ALL Is RUIN.

Until recently we had considered
the Peoples party in Kansas in pref
ty good shape We based our esti-
mate Of its condition upon the official
reports Of the increase in the Alliance,
and upon the testimony of representa-
tive men in all parts of the state. On
reading the Topeka Capital of Sun
day, October II, however, we learn
that the Alliance is all gone to pieces,
not in one locality only, but all over
the state. The Alliance papers are
losing subscribers. "Jingo literature"
is losing its charm for Kansas farm
ers. They have chad time to think"
and have "began to tire of the heroic
reform-the-world articles of self-sp-
pointed leaders. The result was the
dropping Of the papers as their sub
scriptions expired" This is a disas-
trous condition Of affairs, truly. Still
we cannot forget that nearly every
week brings hitherto Republican and
Democratic papers over to the Peo-
ple's party. We cannot forget thst
two of the leading Republican papers
of the state have recently been in the
hands Of the sheriff, and that more Of
them would be but for the Doodle
they receive. And, come to think Of
it, we do not remember any Peoples
party papers that have gone over to
the Republican or DemoCraticparties
or the mongrel Demo-Republican
party; and none of them have yet
been sold at sheriff's sale. Perhaps
they may be, but the fact is, they
have not yet We cannot forget,
either, that the people of Kansas are
supporting over 16O Peoples party
papers in the state. How many Re-
publican papers are thereG
Perhaps, on reflection, things are
not so bad as the Capital has pictured
them. We have heard il said that the
Capital is prone to exsggeration,
somewhat, and d. r. Anthony says it
sometimes lies. On the whole, we
would probably better not give up
until after election.

THE RALLY OF OCTOBER FIRST.


We had a report of the rally in this
city on the first which by some means
was omitted from the last issue. As
it is now late for such report, suffice
it to say that it was successful and
satisfactory, the Capital to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The people
were packed like sandwiches in the
Grand opera house in the evening
and Congressman Simpson and Sena-
tor PETER discussed the issues Of the
day in q manner that resulted in much
good. Many converts were made

''THAT OLD SPEECH OF 1873"
ENA: - "a Ahn Nnn,Sfn, po .hnndlinn

This is the Capitals headline to
an editorial commenting upon the
publication Of extracts from J. K.
Hudson's speech of the above date as it
was copied from The ADVOCATE of last
week by the State Journal The
questions suggested by the speech
which TIE ADVOCATE proposed TO Mr..
Hudson, he has not deemed it pru-
dent to attempt to answer. We are
not disposed to call his prudence in
question. The undertaking involved
more time than he has probably had
to spare. Commenting upon the re-
publication of the speech at this time
the gallant Major says:
The speech was delivered by the writer in 1873,
as stated, and all the explanation we have ever
made or care to make Is that 1t represented our
honest conviction at that time, as what we write
does at this time.
Very we'll; then why charge men
and women who are saying the very
same thing now with being fools,
demsgogues, dishonest rasCals, repu-
diationists, anarchists, and every
other form Of knsve to the exhaustion
of the list of approbrious epithetsH
We can conceive how an honest man
can honestly change his mind, but we
are unable to conceive how he can
afterwards honestly charge others
with dishonesty and rsscslity for
holding the same views he claims to
have honestly held, and uttering the
same sentiments he claims to have
once honestly uttered. This is the
unexplained part Of the proceeding.
The ADVOCATE congratulstes itself on
having secured the assurance OF
Major Hudson that he was honest.
But the question Of greatest interest
in connection with this speech is not
one of honesty. 1t is, did he speak
the truth? II so, then why are not
the declarations he made in 1873
equally true to-day? If he was mis-
taken then, is 1t not barely possible
that he may be- again mistaken nowG
Il would seem that a little more hu-
millty and charity might be ressona-
bly, expected from one who is thus
forced to declare his former errors Of
judgment.
Now this is the very position into
which We have sought to drive the
editor of the Capital. He has con-
Quoted the vilest and most unscrupu-
lous campaign Of which his deprsved
nature is capable, against men who
now hold the views he claims to have
once honestly held himself. He has
hurled his filth and slime at the
characters Of those who are in every
way his superiors, simply because
they now honestly say the very things
that he claims to have once honestly
uttered himself. This is the dilemma
in which The ADVOCATE has succeeded
in placing him, and we are satisfied
to leave him to justify his course be-
fore the people of this country. We

The Old Lights of London.

The history of lighting London is sub
ject of much interest. In remote times
the city must have presented very cur
ious aspect; there was no method of
street lighting at all; the narrow, un-
paved streets were deserted when dark
ness fell except by the thieves. who found
in the want of artificial illumination a
splendid confrere TO help them in their
nocturnal undertakings. Notwithstand-
ing the ringing of the curfew bell, and
the order that all lights and fires were to
be extinguished when its sound was
heard, it was found that city could not
conclude all its business at precisely 8
O'Clock in summer or at dark in winter.
Kindly disposed citizens as early as the
l4th century began to hang outside their
door common candle made of rushes
and coarse grease, and these gave faint
glimmer on dark nights. We find that
in l4l6, in the reign of Henry v, the
citizens were called upon as duty to
light the streets; and although some
obeyed the injunction the duty was very
inadequately performed. 1t was the Gus
tom then for the ancient watchmen to
carry lanterns containing candles placed
at the top of long pole, thus lighting in
a small way the streets over which they
perambulated. 1t was in the reign of
Elizabeth that the fear of a Spanish in
vasion drew attention to the dangerous
condition of the highways at night. The
darkness might hide foul conspirators;
consequently an order in council COM
manded every householder to do his part
in lighting the city on pain of death by
the common hangman. This order seems
TO have excited some attention, for at the
present day there are to be seen in the
museum under the Guildhall Library
several of the candlesticks said to have
been used at that period for street ilIum-
lination. The candlesticks consists of a
rude bar of iron, having at its back
rack and a catch by which the socket
holding the candle can be lowered or
raised.
