SIXTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT.

KlLCORE AGAIN.

From the Leavenworth Times.
One ex-rebel stands in the way of the
nations honoring General Sherman by
appropriating $50, 900 for pedestal for
q monument for him. This rebel is Kill
gore, the Texas bully who during the
last congress set the whole democratic
party wild with delight by kicking open
the doors of the house when the door
keeper, pursuant to an order from the
speaker, had locked them to preserve a
quorum. Kilgore boasts that he will
not permit the appropriation while the
house is democratic. He would be pow
erless to prevent it without democratic
house back of him, but with so many
men in the house who hate the memory
of Sherman he can easily succeed. This
little matter is only an indication of
what the democratic party would do had
it chance. Kilgore is less polite, in
other words, he is more of fool than
the rest Of his party, but the fact that
they permit him to prevent this legisla-
ton shows they are in sympathy with
him and, if they dared, would cast in
dignity upon every man who fought to
preserve the Union.

THE PRESIDENTS WORDS.

From the New York Press.
The speeches made by President Har-
rison on his trip to Rochester have been
marked by the singular clearness, force
and felicity that characterizes all the
presidents public utterances. Deliv-
cred extemporaneously and without
preparation, they were each instinct
with patriotism, the expression of high
moral ideals, clothed with language
whose grace was all the more noticeable
from the fact that it was unstudied.
In his illusions to our national unity
and greatness, to the extension Of
American commerce through reciprocity
and to 1.-The day when American ship
ping shall be found upon every sea,
when our flag shall float above navy
carrying the best guns and bravest
hearts," the president struck keynote
that met with instant and enthusiastic
response. The cordial greeting which
he everywhere received showed how
strong a hold the administration has de-
servedly gained on the public confidence
and esteem.

Two conservative a TIT nation e.

stood - the embodiment OF that prin.
ciple which they have urged this coun-
try to adopt, not only declares that the
traditional policy has been failure id
toto, but that the only means by which
the British manufacturer can live, and
British commerce be kept upon the
seas is the policy which this country
has had in successful operation foI
twenty-five and more years. More than
that, he Acknowledges that though soma
one may be hurt by such policy, that
someone cannot be the United States.
To Americans the significance Of this
declaration is that the maintenance OF
our present protective tariff, used when
advantageous to purchase reciprocal
trade relations is the very best policy
possible for us, inasmuch as it is ef-
fective in our hands against rivals, but
can't be used by old world countries
against us.

Fort Scott.-The railway telegraphers
representing all stations within radius
of fifty and seventy-five miles of this
city, along the lines Of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott & Memphis, the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas and the Missouri Pacific
railroads, met in this city and organized
the Fort Scott division of the State
Railroad Telegraphic Operators associa-
ton. There were about fifty delegates
present.
Hutchinson News: The dissatisfac-
ton expressed by our citizens and those
along the line of the Kinsley branch has
been so expressed, that the Santa Fe
has concluded to yield to our demands,
and the old train will go back over the
branch. as it did before the change.
This shows desire upon the part of the
Santa Fe to do that which will best &C
commodate its customers, as far as is
consistent with good business manage
ment. Putting the California train
back over the branch will be highly ap-
preciated by our citizens, both along
the branch an in the city. We rejoice
to see the old schedule, so far as the
branch is concerned, go into effect.

RECORDS OF THE FIFTY-SECOND
CONGRESS.

The Louisville Home and Farm, q
blue grass agricultural organ which
loves Grover Cleveland for the enemies
he has made, especially in the Grand
Army by having "the courage to say
that the utmost limit had been reached
in pension appropriations" is neverthe-
less stricken with grief by the record of
the present democratic house at Wash
ington. 1.-THE house." it exclaims in
bitterness of spirit, ''has been little bet
ter than mob. Absenteeism is chron-
ic." And it goes on:
"The races drew SO many members
away from Washington as to leave the
house in the control of the republican
minority. Special legislation Of every
character has been favorably considered.
The debates have been feeble, not to say
discreditable. The most distinguished
and the most influential leader has been
Mr.. Reed, speaker of the last house.
appropriations have swollen to enor-
nous figures, exceeding those of the
Billion Dollar congress. That this is no
overdrawn picture, may be seen from
the figures submitted by leading dem
ocrat of the house (Mr. Beltzhoover),
who has sought in vain to put stop to
democratic extravaganza.
''The river and harbor bill, vetoed by
President Arthur and passed over his
veto by republican house, led to an
overwhelming defeat of the republicans
at the polls. 1t appropriated SIS, OO0, 900.
1.-THE river and harbor bill Of this
democratic house appropriates 81, OOO,-
600, of which $22, OOO, 900 is for imme-
diate use and $27,OOO,0O0 for future
work.
''Such blind folly threatens any party
with overwhelming defeat in November"
Defeat? OF course the democratic
party will be defeated. Why shouldn't
it be overwhelmingly repudiated by the
voters of the nation? For the hum
dredth time it has prevailed upon the
people, by false charges against its sue
cessful opponent and by unstinted
promises, to place it in power, only as
ever to prove its utter incompeteney and
hypocrisy. The Home and Farm should
rejoice that defeat stares such party in
the face. Its incapacity is discreditable
to the American people. To return it
to power would be national disgrace
and matter of humiliation to every in
telligent and patriotic citizen.

PeoPLEs PARTY VoTE NJ 1900
AND 1891.

From the Topeka Capital.
A correspondent from Oak Hin writes
that ut Is claimed by some Of the alli-
anoe that they polled $1,000 moro votes
last fall than the year before" And hs
asks for information in the matter.
After the election last fall the alliance
Advocate of this city, on November 10,
published page OF returns from all but
six of the counties of the state. As this
represents the claims of the peoples
party, we cannot do better than to use
It as basis. It shows that the peoples
party gained 1894 votes in Al counties
and lost 9,737 in Sc counties, net loss
of 3.473 in 81 of the 100 counties. It
shows also that the republicans gained
5,797 in 80 counties, and lost 1,947 in
Is counties, net gain Of $3.50 votes in
Sc counties out of 100. These figures
do not include counties where there was
fusion, as claimed by the Advocate, be-
tween democrats and republicans; fusion
being alleged by the Advocate as the
explanation of the more serious losses Of
it's party. Where the Advocate counts
three tickets in the field only two coun-
ties that were republican in 1890 were
carried by the peoples party in 1891;
but Is counties that were peoples party
in 1890 were carried by republicans in
1891; net republican gain of 13 coun-
ties. In IL other counties belonging to
the peoples. party in 1890, but carried
by the republicans in 1891, the Advocate
explains the result by fusion. In the
100 counties heard from the Advocate
gave the peoples party vote at lib, 499
as against 115, 1856 in the same counties
in 1890, loss of 1887 votes. For the
republican party it admitted gain of
$3.50 votes, without including any
counties where it counted republicans
and democrats as voting together.
In 63 counties of the state the Advo-
cate counted no fusion of any kind. In
these counties for 1890 it gave the re-
publicans 1864 votes and the peoples
party 1919. For 1891 in the same
counties it gave the republicans 80, 429
and the peoples party 1879; repub-
lican gain of 1866 and peoples party
loss of 2,74O, making the net republican
gain 6,3O5, the republican plurality in
1890 being 7,745 and in 1891 being
14,O5O.

PROTECTION AND WAGES.
From the Emporia Republican.

From the Emporia Republican.
Major Mckinley never spoke the
truth more forci5ly than when he made
the astounding acknowledgment that
the tariff has nothing to do with wages.
1t is an acknowledged fact that unpro-
tected industries pay the highest wages.
-Atchlson Patriot.
If Mckinley said that the tariff has
nothing to do with wages, and spoke
the truth, how does it happen that ''un-
protected industries pay the highest
wages!" If protection affects wages
unfavorably it certainly has something
to do with them. In fact, one of the
chief claims Of the free traders is that
the protected ''robber barons' grow fat
at the expense of their employees. It
appears, therefore, that the Patriot has
admitted too much in saying that ''pro-
lection has nothing to do with wages"
Although somewhat mixed in its logic,
it is pleasure to note that the Patriot
is progressing toward the truth. We
may now reasonably expect it to 60 a
step farther and admit that maybe after
all protection has something to do with
the fact that American wages are the
highest in the world, as Mckinley,
Blaine and Harrison and all protection
lists have always claimed. The Patriot
is evidently mistaken in crediting Nc
Kinley with the remark that protection
has nothing to do with wages" His
speeches both in and out of congress
TEEN with facts and statistics showing
that protection is principally question
of wages; he has shown the impossible
ity of American manufacturers paying
the wages that now prevail and COM
peting on equal terms with the products
of the cheap labor of England, Aus
tralia and India. 1t is not at all proba-
BILE that Major Mckinley made an asser-
ton that he himself has SO often proven
false.
