TO God Almighty a thousand years is as
one day. This is true, also, as applied to
the life of nation. There is always an
end to injustice. A fair election law may
not pass, and If passed it might not he en-
forced, hut If refused or If nullilied there
is bound to be a terrible retribution il we
expect to live under q Government of the
people, for the people and by the people.
The Republican party must stand by its
pledges and by its principles regardless of
temporary reverses. Let consequences rest
with traitors to the party and demagogues
who would profit in Il partisan way by the
conduct of those who sell a solemn under
taking for mess OF silver.
Standard Democratic Doctrine.
From The Louisville CGurie,-Jouraai.
In the judgment of the Democrats the
Force bill is revolutionary.
It's purpose is to overthrow State control
of Congressional elections to establish in
effect a new Freedman's Bureau in
dozen States to stir up strife between the
races, to enlarge the scope for mischief of
party demagogues and to send Republican
missionaries into every Congressional
district to revise registration lists, to sup
press returns, to fnlsify certificates, to fa-
cilitate the operations of such political
criminals as Davenport and Dudley.
This is the view held of the measure not
only by the people of the South but by a
majority Of the people of the Northern
States. 1t is measure which has been as
emphatically repudiated by the people of
America as were the alien and sedition
laws, or the ordinances of secession, yet
the Republican Senators seem determined
to pass the bill, even il to do 1t 1t becomes
necessary to deprive the Senate of its de-
| liEerative character.
The attitude of the Republicans is de-
| iiaEt and threatening. Not the bill alone,
| but the spirit with which it is advocated
disturbs public confidence, and fills the
minds Of men with apprehension.
nayseed PETER.
From ne N6O York Sun.
After much humbug of grips and pass
words and outside guards the caucus of
the Alliance members has succeeded in
nominating Mr.. w. A. PETER as the Al
| lance candidate for Senator in Congress
to succeed Mr.. Ingalls,. Special policemen
Of the Alliance will continue to watch
these long. suffering nominators until they
vote for Mr.. PETER and elect him. In
| spector Byrnes' most vigilant detectives
sharply and susplciously as the Kansas
| Alliance watches its legislators.
AS for their intelligence in selecting
Mr.. PETER, who is called Judge PETER be
cause he isn't judge, opinions will differ
Mr.. PETER hasn't been an Alliance man
long enough TO accumulate any horn on
his hands or hayseed in his locks. HC
joined the organization about month
ago, and he has been an editorial writer
on Republican papers. The haasa
Farmer, on which lie has job at present
is owned by Republicans, and was gooC
Republican paper until few months
ago. SO Mr. PETER is pretty raw recruit
to be made drillmaster
This Is the kind of Iayseed Socialis
and lunatical economist whom the Kan
sas farmers prefer to n statesman anc
scholar. We hope the State of Kansas
will get more of advantage than II i
likely to get of reputation from tn,
change.
