TIE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT.

The following exc rpt from the Hutch
inson News, although peculiarly fitting
as of local importance in Reno county,
is the expression of true Republican SEN
timent everywhere on the points stated:
''The News admires men of principles,
even though their views may be directly
contrary to our own on many important
issues. IL admires men of honor and
personal integrity. who believe that even
a commendahIe end in view does not
justify dishonest methods. For that
reason the News admires the Democrats
who voted the straight Democratic ticket
yesterday. When the proposition was
made to them that they might defeat
their old antagonists, the Republicans, at
the expense of the honor and credit of
the city, county and state in which they
live, they spurned the offer like loyal
men, and made fair fight for the prin-
ciples in which they believe. The News
admires them, not so much because they
contributed in measure to Republican
success, but because they refused to be
sold out as individuals and as party by
the men who had been chosen as their
leaders, and to whom they had right
to look for better example of loyalty to
the principles of Democracy"

NOT A PARTISAN EVENT.

The Kansas City Star, which. to-
gether with all the other papers publish
ed in the Missouri town just over the
state line, devotes its attention to and
draws its principal support from this
state, thinks it is "hardly probable that
the Republican party in Kansas will say
anything about Labor day in its next
state platform. The article was put IN
the platform of 1891, and its trainers had
the pleasure of seeing the day incorpo-
rated as third party festival, while the
state went Alliance with rush that dis
counted the celebrated effort of the stale
of Maine many years ago. II appear
now that the Alliance is easier whipped
than caioled, and Labor day resolutions
will disappear from Kansas Republican
platforms as 'superfous, impertinent and
irrelevant"
From casual, superficial view the
foregoing might be plausible enough, but
the Star ought to know that Labor day
was fixed by law festival occasion for
the benefit of the laboring people of the
state with utregard to political predilec-
tions or any possible effect it might have
for or against any party. The circum-
stance that the Alliance as a political
party took advantage of the occasion
last year to gain little advantage in no
way affects the law or the occasion. 1t
could not, unless all the laboring people
of the state belonged to that organiza-
ton; but they do not, nor half of them.
Nor will the Labor day" law be repeal
ed, but all the citizens of the state will
be urged to observe the event as often as
the period for its observance shall come
around

Superstition IN Rome.

The death of the late Prince Barberini

effect of the evil eye of Pope Plus *.
Strange as it may appear, the spell Of

years after his death. Every year a me-
mortal service is celebrated In his honor
by his successor, Leo XIII, in the Sistine
chapel 1t is a magnificent ceremony,
and is attended by all the diplomatic
corps and the principal dignitaries of the
papal court. But on each occasion one
of the leading Roman mobiles who have

The reported disturbed condition of
Brazil is a source of regret. When the
very liberal monarchial rule of Dom
Pedro was thrown off and popular
government set up in its stead it was
hoped that the republican sentiment of
the people was strong enough and suffi-
GENTLY well grounded to maintain that
form of government, and it is still hoped
that the reported reaction has been ex-
agerated and that nothing has or will
occur TO disturb the peaceful continu-
ance of popular government. The sane
ton, even temporarily, of the assump-
tions of a dictator is a dangerous thing
TO do, sffording as it will an opportunity
for the qualification of the personal
ambition of the one whom fortune or
intrigue shall have placed in control
to fasten his hold and establish himself

The Bardsley incident in Philadelphia
didn't cut the figure in the Pennsylvania
election Tuesday that the Democrats cal
culated it would. Republicans and the
community generally were satisfied with
the prompt and emphatic condemnation
that was visited upon the offender by
the law as administered by faithful Re-
publican officials, and, therefore, had no
occasion to place any responsibility for
the individual shortcomings of Bardsley
upon the party. The Republican victory
was full and complete.

Artificial Rain making in India.

From the Chicago Tribune.
According to the latest advices the
production of rain by artificial means is
going on in India as well as in the
United States. The collector of Cud-
dapah, in the presidency of Madras, is
believer in explosions as means of
producing rain. He states a partial
success has attended his efforts with
small charges, and he therefore intends,
encouraged by this, to go in for rain
production ON large scale.
