SOME CURRENT HISTORY"

Under Che foregoing heading
Senator Murdock, in his EldOradO
Republican, gives five columns Of
matter; the last part Of his tale is un-
der the supplemental head Of "Tell
the truth" IL occupies more space
than would the average address Of q
state central committee.
IL is an approbStive, belligerant,
CritiCising, delusive, explosive, fanCi-
full, grievious, huflisb, intolerant and
jejune mass Of matter, may it stand
related to men and measures that IL
Commends or that il condemns.
Il is as good as could be expected
Of a virtually self-appointed member
Of the late Senate revision committee,
which as a costly and gaudy state
luxury has had nothing to compare
with it in the history Of the common
wealth Of Kansas.

industrial olas8aa however diverse
may be their special oallings, are
identical; and their relations have
been 30 thoroughly studied by
the various industrial organizations
that this fact is well understood. II
Senator Plumb is possessed OF Che
discrimination with which no is cred
tied he should be able 10 discern the
truth of this statement, and he should
b0 honest enough 10 acknowledge Il
when speaking Of the relations OF
those classes In attempting TO do
ceive himself, he will not deceive
others upon this subject. There is no
conflict OF interest, and the industrial
confederation that has been establish
ed will be maintained until It's OBJ
jects are accomplished Senator
Plumb will do well to recognize this
fact.
The Senator'S conception Of the
political situation may be judged
from the following:
"What viii bs tho strength Of tho Republican
party In the noxt Oampagn9'
"The same as heretofore; good membership
good administration, good legislation, q good
record, tho national sentiment which n cOnsevea
and ministers 10, the good win and confidence Of

and deatru. tive tendencies OF the Democratic
party. Az this moment tho chances for Ropubll
can suCCoss In 1892 are better than they were
At the corresponding period four years ago. The
party will be united, hopeful and aggressive, and
will make ~ strong a campaign 40 every In its
history"
We could refer Mr.. Plumb TO many
school boys in the rural districts who
could give him several valuable point
ers upon this subject. We would
recommend him to a closer study Of
the real meaning Of the recent great
political upbeavsl, and Of the present
rapid growth and actual strength OF
the allied industrial organizations
which are pledged to the support Of
those measures which he says "ac-
Cording to present permanent condi-
tiOns of public sentiment are wholly
beyond reach" II they are beyond
reach through existing instrumentali-
ties those instrumentalities shall be
changed. Tho Senator will do well
10 feel the public pulse, and place
himself in more intimate relations
with the masses of his constituents.

character and public services Of our
present senior Senator, has been far
superior TO that respecting the Sena-
tor recently retired. Senator Plumb
has been regarded as a man much
nearer the people than Senator In
gals. He has been more consistent
in his course and has had more re-
gard for the interests Of his constitu-
ents. He has four years OF bis pres
ent term yet 10 serve He has ample
time in which TO champion such
measures as the people demand, and
in rendering his constituents the he-
roic service for which he is unques-
tionably qualified, he may attain a
position that will insure his return
for another term. He cannot secure
this result, however, il he continues
to close his eyes to the significance OF
the revolution that is sweeping over
the country. He has yet too many
Of the stereotyped ideas Of the old
politicians Of the east He does not
fully comprehend the meaning OF the
uprising Of the people. In a recent
interview he is thus reported:
"DO you think, Senator, that tho farmers
movement has reached rs maximum"
"That is hard question TO answer. II has
probably reached lts full strength In Kansas.
What II will develop in other states remains 10
be seen. The only effective strength lt can have
In 1902 is 10 hurt the Republican party In Che
northern states. It will not hurt the Democratic
party, In the south 40 least. On the contrary, 10
n likely 10 strengthen that organization there "
He here betrsys a lack OF percep-
tion of the true existing conditions in
his own state, which seems to be
based upon reports cleaned from
partisan sources rather than from
any personal investigation Of the
facts. Past observation respecting
the value Of this kind of testimony
concerning the strength and purposes
Of the Alliance should have taught
the Senator that it IS not altogether
reliable. II he would come nearer to
the people and seek information from
first hands, he would change his
views both in regard to it's having at
tanned its maximum strength, and
in regard to it's influence upon the
Democratic party. He will learn
later that the Alliance both north
and south will have no use for either
Of the existing parties. Whether he
will learn this lesson in time to be OF
service TO his constituents and to him.
self remains TO be seen. From the
following observations il will be ap-
parent to the members OF the Alliance
that he has a long step yet to take
before he can be regarded as q true
champion OF our demands;
The Alliance failed TO make the greatest i'm.

cGlity is the Senator drawing his in
What state does he repre-
senti It is full time for hlm 10
realize that he is expected 10 repre-
sent Che will and the interests Of his
own constituents, rather than "those
permanent conditions Of public senti-
ment," which prevail in the financial
centers OF the east. The Alliance Of
Kansas and the kindred organiza-
tions which are allied with il for
political purposes do not seek any
mans defeat simply because Of his
party affiliations, but il may as well
be understood that there is no boys
play about the demands set forth in
the 81 Louis platform; and IL Sena-
tor Plumb cannot endorse that plat
form we shall have no further use
for him after the expiration Of his
term. Kansas has spoken
upon this subject in terms not to be
misunderstood, except that misunder-
be Willful. When we pre-
dictsd a year ago last March that Sem
ator Ingalls, would not be reelected,
the prediction was met on all sides
with derisiOn. The result OF his can
didaCy is known. He was defeated
because he chose 10 represent the
and monopolists Of the
east rather than the people OF Kan
sas, Of whose opinions and wishes he
seemed to be perfectly oblivious.
Senator Plumb will follow him into
retirement unless he changes his
views and policy and conforms TO the
demands of the people Of his own
state. He has time and opportunity
TO make his record. We shall see
what il will be.
The Senator considers Che efforts
Of farmers to secure lower rates OF
transportation and higher prices for
their products as 80 inimiCal TO the
interests Of other labOring classes as
10 preclude the possibility OF their
political utilization. II he were as
familiar with Che facts as he should
be to enable him TO judge intelligent
ly of the subject, he would know
that this question has been
thoroughly Canvassed by all OF
the various industrial organizations,
and is much better understood by
them than by himself. There Is
a very important factor which Sena-
tor Plumb entirely ignores in his cal
culstion; and it is the fixed purpose
Of these combined organizations to
that factor When this is
accomplished, and the services Of the
spectators and gamblers who are now
robbing both Che producer and con-
sumer are dispensed with, il may be
clearly seen that the profits Of the
producer of farm products may bO
legitimately increased without add
ing to the burdens Of the consumer.

Kelly Case.
The case of Kelly's administrators vs..
s. h. Tyler, receiver OF the Shenandoah
Valley railroad, resulted in hung Jury
in the Hastings Court yesterday.
Argument for the defendant was be-
gen by Mr.. Watts yesterday morning.
He was followed by Major Griffin, also
for the defense. The closing argument
was made by Col. John e. Penn for the
plaintiff. 1t was powerful speech,
and elicited much comment. 1t was
late when the case was given to the
jury and after being out an hour they
reported that they could not agree.
Judge Robertson held them over till
to-day and will doubtless keen them
together till they do reach verdict.
This has been very stubbornly con-
tested case. 1t has boon tried once and
the jury failed to agree. Several other
times 1t was called, but postponed. The
suit is brought by the heirs of j. j.
Kelly, young man who was employed
In the offices of the Shenandoah Valley
railroad Company, located in the Gale
building. On June IA, 1890, Kelly left
tho Office about o'clock and started to
dinner. He boarded at tho residence of
oAo w oOW NouU ON CQo nOrGl SIDE OF
the railroad, just west of the Commerce
street crossing. He proceeded up the
track and attempted to cross near Law
sons saloon, but being subject to cpl.
leptic fits, he fell between the tracks.
Just at this time a train compos ed of
twenty-five cars backed up the track,
and two of the cars passed over tho un-
fortunate man. Kelly sustained iniur.
les from which he died at 12 o'clock that
night. The suit is for $40, 600 damages.
