PLAIN WORDS.

From the tenor Of communication at
hand it is quite evident that there are
those in the community who do not think
there is any need, at least any pressing
necessity, for the action advised by the
RECoRD-UNIoN upon the levee question.
We are told that because things have
been, so they will be likely to continue; ;
that it Is an accepted proverb that sit is
the unexpected which happens; that
''they who fear disaster invite it, and so
on until dozen or more sepulchral
proverbs are thrown at us by our optim-
istic correspondent. If it is to become
wrangle of proverbs we might reply
''the pitcher that goes oft to the well is
finally broken"; "the wise man puts not
all his eggs in one basket; "to foresee
evil is to be half armed against it''; she is
foolish to blame the sea who is ship
wrecked twice.; many things fall be-
tween the cup and the lip" and so on.
But proverbs may be used to prove any
thing; nothing is more misleading than
the teaching of the folklore proverb
The RECoRD-UNIoN did not need
to be informed by its correspondent
that the city has been spared
for many years; it is as well posted in
municipal annals and community haps
and mishaps as our correspondent can
be. 1t is also fully advised concerning
theories about our own and opposing de-
lenses and inundation to the coast foot
hills before our own homes would be
endangered. 1t has heard all that kind
approaching these many years. But at
this time new conditions exist; facts are
set up against which theories cannot pre-
vail. Whoever accepts an undemon-
danger, if any issue hinges upon the
possibility of the theory being erroneous.
There is nothing so secure as absolute
safety, and it is cheap at any cost; there
is no wisdom superior to demonstration,
and it is worth all it demands. We have
the latter now to deal with. The effect of
choke in the river a few miles below
the city has been noted; what it would be
ifit were repeated at the city front, or
above it, under like or more unpropitious
conditions, we need no prophet to foretell.
We know that this month, even with a
break on the Yolo side, we had no ma
terial relief for three days. and that had
heavy rain fall and high water in the
American concurred at that time, the
''relief'' of which our correspondent
pirates would have been of no value A
city that puts its millions of property at
risk upon the possible weakness of a
neighbours levee defenses deserves to be
swallowed up. No, this subject which
we refer to only because it seems to us
to be absolutely necessary, will be put to
rest only by heroic, immediate, thorough
action, once and for all. No half hearted,
compromising, makeshift or patchwork
will DO. Cranks and theorists must be
put aside, conditions faced, the exigency
met and the danger feared put absolutely
far away and beyond the vision of the
FILTERED enemy of the city. And it will
be done; the silurians and theorists and
they who dwell in the shadow of that
past when things did not happen will be
pushed to one side and common pru-
dence, sound sense, business wisdom and
reasonable self-insurance will be the rule.

A WRITER in the Forum has a labored
article that attempts to prove the great

some strength in the argument, as there
is in any effort to conserve artistic tastes;
but endowed opera in a Government such

The ridiculous story published in a
San Francisco paper yesterday, wherein
crazy Greek priest lays claim to the dis
covery of Noah's ark on the peak of
Ararat, is fit to rank with the Munchausen
tales and the best of the Sazerac lying
club But that judgment must be re-
tracted for in the ark story there is no
wit, while III other records there was wit,
also humor and wisdom.

ture Of the money OF the state warranted
by exigencleS of the public service or

towards the party that has honored Gov

Talk about serving the republican party
with such shystering politics as thlsI A
republican party paper is expected to do
good deal for harmony, but there are
times when little plain truth will help
to clear the atmosphere. When the

work on our modest governor we hope
he will drop the fRcetious msckerel and
get down to a plain straightforward an
swer to the charges here made, which II

humiliation to the party and state.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-26

LET'S take a sensible view Of il
Two years ago, men from Kansas and
other northern states bore messages
to their brethren in the south, telling
them that a great reformation was go
ing on here. They told the truth.
They told them that the Peoples
party would elect the state ticket in
Kansas In that they told what would
have proven true had not the republi-
cans resorted to some of the Vilest
tactics known to politics to compass
our defeat. Then came our county
elections of 1891, in which many
counties were, by fusion, carried
against us, and this was heralded in
the south as q republican victory.
Now, what would we think Of the
Populists of Georgia if, in conse-
quence of all these results and mis-
representations, they had turned and
voted against us9 But they didn't, as
the last Populist vote of nearly 1O0,-
GOO will show. That many voters in
Georgia are loyal, and if they are not
strong enough to prevent the orimi-
nal element Of their state from steal
ing the election, it is not their fault,
but q good reason why we in enlight-
ened Kansas should gather our forces
and show them that there is0ne state
in the union which cannot be out
ragged by organized capital. Kansas
always leads.

insist upon this fundamental right.-Capi-
tai, October 10.

TAE ROTTEN EGG PARTY.

Rotten eggs are getting to be the
regulation republican argument OF
late. Republicans caught the inspi-
ration from Georgia democracy, and
it's influence is spreading rapidly in
Kansas. First Mr.. Otis was egged
st Princeton. Next we hear of the
egging Of H. N. Boyd at Browns
school house in Republic county, and
now comes the report that the Peo-
pls's party procession was egged at
Jerry Simpsons meeting at Smith
Center on the 10Th inst. This is all
good news for the Peoples party.
Our people and speakers can well
afford to suffer these indignities for
the good of the cause. "Whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad" is a maxim that finds abundant
Illustration in the methods of Kansas
republicans in this year Of grace 1892.

more deserving men for the position of
congressman; that he was not strong
man for the party or the state; that he
ran behind every state officer In his own
county; that he was lacking In the ele-
ments Of a successful campaigner, and
that this precedent Of using the office Of
governor for his own political prefer
ment was an outrage on the people Of
Kansas, regardless of party.
But this ls not the most important
argument against Governor Humphreys
ambition to remain in Office. He has
shown such sympathy with violstOrs
of the prohlbltory law in Atchlson,
LeavenwoEth, Kansas City, Kas., and
Wichita, that to-day, with the governors
implied sanction, his unwllllngness to
demand the enforcement of the law, the
saloons are run with q fine representing
a license. If q governor occupied that
chair whose letters demanding that the
officers do their duty meant anything, the
law could be enforced In every city. Is
the promotion Of Governor Humphrey to
be based upon his failure to do his sworn
dutyP
There Is another reason why Governor
Humphrey should not be endorsed by a
nomination to congress. For six months
he has had played out politician, a lazy
political lOafer, acting as his personal
roustabout. This barnacle is borne on
the rolls Of the adjutsnt general as Lewis
Hanback, at $4,000 per month, and has
not in the past siT months done one
hours work in the adjutsnt generals
Office. He has been kept travelling about
looking after the governors political
fences, for which services the governor
has drawn orders on the contingent
fund" which Is under his personal con-
troll, for $4,000. These orders given by
the governor may be examined by any
taxpayer In the state auditors Office, as
they are among the public records open
to all citizens. From December 18 to
April 25, 1892, Mr.. Hanback, drew on FIVE
vouchers Of the governor $4,000 for
Especial services" "extra services" etc,
TO each Of which vouchers was at
tached the following certificate signed
by Governor Humphrey: ~ do certify
that the within was contracted by
me for the state under authority Of law,
and that the amount therein claimed Ia
correct according to such contract and ls
unpaid"
When Governor Humphrey signed
those vouchers he knew Lew Hanback,
was receiving 500 per month from the
state, not one dollar of which he earned
He knew also that the private political
work Lew Hanback, was doing and Is
