"THE SAME HATEFUL HEREsY.u

Governor McKinley's able speech at
Beatrice contained one passage which is
worthy of particular attention. Discuss
| ing the declaration in the Democratic
| platform that protective duties are I'M
constitutional, he not only recited the
| fact that Madison reported and President
Washington signed the second act ever
passed by the congress of the United
States, which was, as its preamble de-
clared, an act ''for the support of the
government, for the discharge of the
debts of the United States and for the
encouragement and protection of manu-
features" and that all the great men
who took part in establishing the gov
eminent then supported the protective
policy, but he quoted from Andrew
Jackson, the founder of the old Demo
cratic party.
The New York Tribune in speaking of
the matter, says: lit is not a small
matter that a national party deliberately
denounceS as unconstitutional a policy
thus powerfully supported by the trainers
of the constitution. and by the very
president who is claimed as the founder
of the party. This formal declaration,
made at the opening of national can
vass, fixes the attention of thousands
who are not familiar with the nations
early history. 1t educates them to be-
lieve, without the slightest warrant in
reason, in facts or in law, that the gov
eminent has been unconstitutionally ad-
ministered for more than thirty years
Such belief, however false and ground
less, if honestly held by ill-informed
men, prepares them for almost any form
of resistance 10 national authority. II
was precisely such false and dangerous
teachings that prepared multitudes for
the great rebellion. and thus deIuged the
land in blood
II is not enough to say that a party
makes itself ridiculous by q declaration
so plainly contrary TO the letter of the
constituted and to the teachings of his
tory. False education of voters on such
matter Is a crime against our free IN
situations. 1t tends 10 undermine and
destroy the spirit of loyalty aud patriot
ism upon which those institutions must
ever depend. When any party thus sets
itself to break down the regard of the
people for their government, to encour-
age them that they have been wronged
I by persistent violation Of the nations
fundamental law, it assumes a response
bllity which can scarcely be measured.
Ii Is very grave matter, as the Demo-
cratic party win assuredly realize before
the contest of 1892 has ended"

REDEEM KANSAS.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
If there ever was tine in the history
Of Kansas Republicanism, when united,
earnest, and well directed effort was nee
essary, that time is now upon us. Re
deem Kansas" should be the campaign
cry. The battle should be waeed vigor-
Ously and aggresively all along the en-
tire line. When a good Republican is
found wavering on some portion of the
ticket, he should be shown that vote
not only an endorsement of the man per-
sonally, but is an endorsement of the
principles of the conglOmerated Opposi-
ton. and the result goes out to the world
In the election returns, as another black
eye for Kansas. We occasionally hear a
man say, Il don't intend to vote for
this or that candidate on the
Republican ticket as l consider his oppo-
nent more worthy man." Suppose
enough Republicans were to talk this
way and vote this way, to send ii major
ity of fusionists to the legislature would
not the result be another PETER in the
United States senate? Do the old tried
friends of Kansas desire TO have repre-
sentatives in congress who continually
bring the bushes of shame TO their faces,
by the lying statements made by the po-
litical accidents regarding the prosperity
of our people? This year there should
be no compromise. The very greatest
service Republican can do for Kansas
this year is to use his every influence to
secure the election of the entire Repub-
lican ticket. This year we are not vot-
ing for Republicans so much as we are
voting for Republicanism.

Harper's Weekly, the New York
World, and many other newspapers of
reputation in the east have taken up he
fight against the electric cars. The
Kansas City Star takes up the subject
and says: ''Of course nobody doubts
that one of these days electricity will be
a great and successful motive power,
but at present it is a constant menace
to life and limb and is worked under
many and signal disadvantages" If
New York and many other cities of the
slow and pokey east want to see the
complete practicability of electricity as a
motive power applied to street car pro-
pulsion they should visit Wichita, where
the system was introduced the very
first and has been exclusively employed
for several years. 1t is not only a COM
plete success in its efficiency, but it is
attended with the smallest number Of
casualties of any kind. The service is
prompt and rapid, and the fewest num-
Der of persons, employees or patrons,
have been in any way injured.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

To know the American soldier well,
says a writer in Harper's Weekly, you
must toll with him over the desert trail
when the sun beats hotly down on the
dry and verdureless earth, and the dust
rises in white clouds that hide the column
from view, and fills the eyes, the mus
taches, the ears, the mouth with profan-
ity and vexation. Here is where his
songs and jokes proclaim the stuff he Is
made of. Then, when you are sent out
with him in the dead of winter over
twenty inches of snow, your equipments
and supplies on bob-sleds, he it is that
dismounts time and again without a
murmur. pushing, to help the mules up
hill, and repacking the overturned sled
dozen times in day; then, after it ali,
digging his hole in the snow, and putting
up his tent at night all the time joking
with his "bunkie," and ready as ever to
steal whisp of hay or handful of oats
for his shivering horse. He it is that
jumped into a boiling hot spring
to save the life of the
daughter or private cltlZen-a deed Tor
which the citizen, who was a rich man,
proffered the astounding sum of five dol
lars, and the governmentthe gold medal
of honor; he that took fiat bottomed
boat out in a heavy sea in New York
harbor to rescue drowning boy; that
lost his life for his fidelity while attemp-
ting to swim an icy stream with dis
patches; who, siugle-handed, served a
field gun through an action, with bull
let IN his leg, to hold position; he that
you believe incapable of anything but
''bucking faro" and drinking strong
liquors.
He is here in this lovely city. many
thousands of him, this week, and the
greatest ambition of the Peerless Princess
is that his visit here and the reunion
with his old comrades may constitute
one of the very happiest incidents of his
honorable yet eventful life; that shall
brighten his pathway and regladdn his
soul for the remainder of his campaign
of life,

The free traders are making a great

REPUBLICANS AND THE CHEROKEE
STRIP
From the Emporia Republican,

From the Emporia Republican,
The Wichita Beacon says that Repub-
lican officials have used their power and
influence to keep bomeseekers out of the
public lands lying south of Kansas. This
viii compare favorably with the claim
that Republicans are responsible for the
appropriations of The present Democratic
congress. The failure to provide for the
opening of the Cherokee strip must be
charged TO the house of representatives.
After dallying with the bill for several
weeks, as was its custom in regard 10
other important matters. the house
finally shelved 1t. To charge the re-
spOnsibility for this action to Republican
officials is equivalent to saying that Re
publican officials have more power and
influence" iii the house than the Demo
Gratis have. although the latter are in
the majority by $50, This, of course,
is too absurd for serious consideration.
Republican officials do not have any in
fluence with a Democratic congress to
speak of. Even if they had the Beacon
cannot show that one of them exercised
it to defeat the opening of the Cherokee
strip
By the way, the Beacon's candidate
for congress, Jerry Simpson, has a
record on this strip matter that will
hardly bear the light of day. He was
charged by one of his own party with
secretly opposing the bill, and the
charge has not to our knowledge been
disproved. As all events, it is a signifi-
can't fact that he did not actively sup
port the measure as long as there was n
possibility of the strip being opened be-
fore the election. But when congress
was about TO adjourn he suddenly DIS
covered where he was at and made a
great noise about the matter. As soon as
he became convinced that he would not
loose any of the homeseekers votes b.
reason Of the opening of the strip he dis
covered that great injustice was being
done them by Republican officials
