THE HONEST ALLIANCE.

The Alliance state house investigating
committee promised an architect. living
down in Louisville, KY, $50 per day and
mileage if ne would come to Topeka and
testify as an expert. The architect came
and it seems that his evidence don't
amount to anything, but when his little
bill OF $50 per day and mileage reached
the state auditors office, that gentleman
being an honest Republican refused to
audit the swindle. The committee and
expert then appealed to the attorney
general who told them that about 81. 50
per day was all that the miserable old
Republican law would permit as pay for
witnesses. 1t is now thought that the
expert viii sue the individuals compos-
ing the committee who made him the
offer of $50 per day and mileage to come
to Kansas and we hope he may.

LITERARY KANSAS.

Since the days of the old Kansas Mag
azlne when Dean Mohanon penued a
classic phrase, Milt Reynolds in prim
English frightened up some Indian le-
gend and John Ingalls,, in Johnsonian
grandeur, spread his subject to the
world decked in selected phrases and
rounded periods OF written oratorv. the
trend Of Kansas has been toward liter
airy paths and by ways. 1t is not alto
gether improbable that Kansas NAV in a
shorter time than it has taken another
western state, develop writers Of inter
national repute. Indiana with Lew
Wallace, Redpath, the historian. Edward
Eggleston, James Whitcomb Riley holds
au enviabIe position in the front rank
of American literature. Kansas has pro-
duced books and books, some that have
attracted national attention and the
great majority that never won further
praise than that of the authors friends
and the subscription agents who tried to
find a sale for it.
much more reliable thermometer of
the condition of literary affairs are the
monthly magazines, which are carefully
edited, and entrance into which IS al
most always stamp of literary worth
and superiority. And Kansas is keeping
apace with the times in this respect. In
the November Century Ed Howe of
Atchison has an article on country news
papers. In the same number is an able
criticism by Miss Bugg of Wichita, who

Mckinley, who by his clean manly con
test in Ohio and his great victory, has
gained so many admirers among the
American public, is likely to have it dis
sipated at this stage of the game by the
announcement that his style of shaking
hands consists in holding the hand al
most on level with the shoulder and
turning the palm upward. This is too
much. There is no regulation against
shaking hands below the belt, at least
somewhere near the line, and any para
chutic Eiffel tower innovation of shaking
hands to the RELOCATION of the good old
warm hand clasp will be received with
supreme contempt by thepublic.

GREAT WILL BE OKLAHOMA.

The Indian reservations being treated
for, additional to already added to Okla
homa, but including the strip, contain
an area sufficient for probably twenty
new counties or more. The strip alone
doubtless will make ten to fourteen
additional counties. Some of the lands
are as fine as the sun ever warmed.
Throughout the Cheyenne country and
the Wichita country and the Kiowa and
Comanche country there are innumera-
bic streams and hundreds of narrow,
rich valleys. The streams are fringed
with timber, and many OF them supplied
by springs. The western end of the
strip Is much like southwest Kansas,
and the east end like the lower Arkansas
valley with more timber. In fact the
Arkansas river courses through the
eastern end of the strip. At different
points, where other streams empty into
1t, quite extensive tracts of valuable
timber exist and the valleys are broad
and inexhaustable. In short there is an
empire down there with all the necessary
elements within its own boundaries for
q self-development which will be realized
more greatly than ever by any other
new state hitherto. Oklahoma will be
the forty-fifth state to be admitted,
probably, but within ten years in pro-
auctions and wealth, if not in the num-
Der of her inhabitants, she will rank
somewhere between the fourteenth and
twentieth, sweeping ahead of all the
northwestern states,

Exactly. And more. Outside of the
| jobbers and strikers, the great body of
self-respecting Democrats of Kansas
have no more use for the Peoples party
and its calamity vagaries than has the
average Republican. And SO eight Re-
publicans out of ten would rather vote
for any man whom the Democrats would
be likely to nominate for president than
to vote for any man who would become
a candidate for that position
on platform Of sub-treasuries,
fiat monies and socialistic free
dom. And if the Alliance fxers
and Democratic managers, up at To-
peka, should successfully scheme
fusion either for the electoral or state
ticket, they will find that they have
reckoned without their host The best
that could be hoped for by the Demo
Gratis from a fusion of the Alliance and
Democratic parties would be the defeat
of the Republican party, in which event
there would be no Democratic party
left to rejoice over the Alliance victory.
No more can the party managers force
the Democrats of the Seventh congress
sional district to re-elect Jerry Simpson,
whom that party elected last year while
claiming on the sly to be a full-fedged
Democrat, but who now refuses to help
elect Democratic speaker from the
west.
The Capital is correct in saying that
such a fusion means defeat for both the
Alliance and for the Democratic parties.

DIGNITY OF AMERICAN LABOR.

At the meeting of the royal labor COM
mission in London several interesting
comparisons between the status of Amer
lean and English laborers have recently
been made.
Mr.. Henderson, chief of factories for
north Britain, said that American fac
tories were better inspected than those
in England, that they were roomier and
better ventilated and had better machin-
cry. Mr.. Henderson also thought that
American workingmen possessed pow
er and dignity not enjoyed by their
British brethren.
In these conclusions Americans will
agree with the speaker here quoted.
There is no country on earth that excels
the United States in exalting the dig
nifty of labor. The average American
laborer is an American citizen, in dress,
and in the occupations of
leisure and self-cuiture. Outside of the
Goldfish and shoddy circles
of a very few cities in America, citizen
ship is absolutely on an equality and the
social distinctions are but family defined
in reality. Despite all our criticisms to
the contrary America is a triumphant
democracy

Dom Pedro gazed at last from foreign
shore back to the land of his birth, his
life and his power and died. Seldom as
it can be said of monarchs, he was a
good king and no subject of his kingdom
knew a pang of his making. 1t was his
share in the process of history to yield
to the invincible force of popular gov
eminent that is destined and in obedi-
ence to Providence will sweep the whole
new world, if not peacably, then by the
steel-besom of war. But in the old
regime of monarchical governments,
Dom Pedro will remain a shining star.
Were it not for the necessity of absolute
measures for successful revolution the
old emperor's days might have been
frightened and fate rendered less harsh,
if he had been allowed to have held the
short span of his remaining days, or at
least been made the first president of the
new republic.

ENGLISH DIVORCE SUITS.

The earl of Russell won. In the face
of scandalous array of racy accusa-
tons, such as dragging luckless kittens
around the floor and battering them into
shape against high palatial ceilings: in
the face of the bulldozing, overbearing
tactics of marital monarchy, such as
making his wife lie on the floor in n
nude condition and forbidding her to
stir muscle until he gave his lordly
permission; in the face of the bowling
disapprobation of popular mob, which
did not, as might have been expected,
influence the jury, the earl won and the
countess dances to the delectable music
of paying heavy costs.
1t Is a wholly scandalous business and
useless too, but that it points its moral
and shows to the lowly plebe under his
own humble roof that the high circles
are not as high as he, and aristocracy is
but poor bedraggled misnomer.
The world as it reads along is apt to
take sides and defend the countess or the
earl as personal choice chooses. But. is
either worthy of defense, even of the
most casual? The earl was an English
brute, not an old man, but what is
worse, specialized, blear-eyed, ernaci-
ated man of twenty-eight. The countess,
given to cigarettes, hysteria, and
shrewish propensity for keeping the earl
in perpetual dodge from missiles, was
moved wholly by the mercenary motive
for alimony. One was as bad as the
other, and that is, in the eyes of an
English jury, always in favor of the
