Fusins for the Kansas Fight.

/
Alarm for the stability of the established
institutions and the credit Of the state has
taken so strong hold upon the people OF
Kansas since the somewhat erratic perform
ances of that new and peculiar farmer-judge
of the Fourth district that anxiety lest such
radical tendencies and dangerous presidents
NAV eventually merge into actual socialism
and reputation is said to almost amount to
a general panic.
How deeply and generally this Fremont
tory feeling of impending disaster has inn
pressed itself upon the people may be ap-
proximatelv oonjectured from the reports
recently current throughout the state to the
effect that even the diametrical political
differences between democrats aud re-
publicans are now to be for the nonce
laid aside in order that the two
established orthodox parties may Tempo
rarily join hands aud make common cause
against their common foe of party disinte-
grafton on the laudable basis Of crushing
pernicious precedents.
Undoubtedly such an appeal will 30
strongly influence the more conservative
and timorous elements of the voting popu-
lace as to secure their hearty support and
bring the cause Of the combination to a
successful issue at the polls.
Without entering into the pros ct cons or
in any way taking into consideration the re-
lative merits or dement's of the farmers alli-
ance and the older established parties it is
quite safe TO say that the alliance has IN
deniably committed one grave error or in
Notwithstanding to the point Of view
in flashing before the astonished gaze of the
public so much altogether new and untried
special legislation that by its very novelty
and the impetuous haste with which it was
rushed through regardless of protests had
tendency not only to shake public con-
hdence in the Judgment and wisdom of its
apparently blindly Jealous sponsors but to
raise q serious question as to their underly-
ing ultimate motives and to create an IN
easy feeling OF dis.rustful antagonism.
Above all things new party particularly
needs TO make haste slowly in developing
its plans until it has first effectually accom-
phshed the essential preliminary purpose of
establishing general public confidence in it's
collective integrity and good faith as we'll
as the economic merits of its theories of
government. That is the very important
point which the alliance seems to have
wholly overlooked or disregsrded In its
progress. 1t was so serious faur pas
that it may finally cost the party It's life.
Such an hypothesis undoubtedly accounts
for the heretofore unheard of anomaly of
democrats and republicans fusing in the
nine judicial districts of the state where the
alliance has attained its most rankly luxur-
liant growth with the avowed purpose in
view of preventing the judiciary from fall
ing into unsafe hands.
Beyond question this is the result of the
first symptoms of "the PETER and Simpson
abuse of power" Stability is essential to
good government.
