1t is q Sort of Scare that Sticks to Man.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Ii is a curious fact that the earthquake scare

we feel it the more we become demoralized.
cannot better illustrate this than by story
told me by Col. Bailey Peyton. United States
minister to Chile in 1852, and city attorney OF
San Francisco in 1856.
To party Of friends in 1856 he said: ''Boys
it's Of no use talking; We can become accus-
toned to all dangers, no matter how imminent
by familiarity, except the danger Of earth
quakes. The more you feel 'em the more you

to myself: Are they crazy? What's the matter

Has Passed AWAY.

The republican party has passed
away. 1t has made its mark on the
history of the country, and now comes
the people to undo the wrongs that it
has done and to give it credit for all
the good that ever came from It's leg
islation and administration. 1t wiped
out black slavery. 1t prevented the
dissolution of the union. 1t created
government money Of paper that has,
when created as full legal tender, SER
we'd every commercial and debt-pay-
ing purpose with gold and silver
money. 1t has proven the constitu-
tional power of the government to
create money regardless Of the ma
terial used in its manufacture, and
thus opened the way for the govern
ment TO pay every dollar that it, the
government, owes without levying
even penny OF tax for this purpose.
1t has added to the educational facili-
ties Of the country. It has multiplied
school houses in every state and terri
tory. 1t has opened the door for pro-
gress to enter with bigger body than
every before. Now is it a good time
for It 10 pass away. Why recall it to
actionP Those who are republicans as
well go with the people to form new
party that will still march rapidly
along the road Of progress, faster than
can any combination Of men who are

DOctOred Returns,

The republican state returning board
of Wyoming have adopted similar
tactics to those employed in Kansas.
On their finding out that the fusion
lists, democrats and pOpulists had q
majority Of seven on joint ballot, they
send their emisaries to certain counties
to have the reports doctored by their
plant tools-the county clerks. They
enstall u state senator as elected
where there was no vacancy. They
get reports fixed up in Carbon and
Converse counties thus throwing out
two democrats elected in the former
and one in the latter county. This
cuts down the fusion majority one.
They will probably manage that, if let
alone, but legal methods have been
resorted to bring them to time, Any
party adopting such methods is on its
last legs. 1t has political gangrene.
The governorship stands about as fol-
lows. Warren, governor was elected
United States senator, and Barber,
secretary of state was acting governor.
Osborn, the democratic governor elect
climbs into window of the state
house and is there holding the fort
having his meals brought to him. He
is in Office as there was u vacancy.
He is in the Office of the governor and
proposes to stay. The returning board
adjourned to December 10, without
canvassing the vote on the governor
ship. They would attempt to have
the election lapse by statute Of limita-
ton. The tricksters will be foiled,
however. Republicansim thy name is

promised a large contribution 1--WE
have heard the sum placed at $780,
000.) The republican managers fully
counted upon having this sum, and
contracted bills in expectation of pay
ing them out of 1t. About week be-
fore the election Frick appeared in
New York, refused point blank to give
penny of the promised sum, did not
go near the republican headquarters,
but fraternized with the democratic
committee. We know not how true
or untrue the story may be, but it is
evidently true that the republicans
were disappointed in their financial
expectations and are unable to pay the
bills they have contracted, while the
democrats have paid all their bills
and have an une Exhausted treasury.
One party has less money than it ex-
pected to have, and the other more
than it calculated upon. This fact
does not prove the truth of the story
regarding Tricks refusal to "come
down handsomely" but it renders it
easier of belief. In further confrma-
ton of it is the other fact that White
law Reid did communicate with Car
negie and did succeed in inducing that
triumphant p'utocrat to interfere so
far as to authorize the sending Of a
messenger to Prick urging the settle
ment of the difficulty. This messen-
ger visited Frick before the latter had
recovered from Bergman's wounds,
and was met with passionate refusal.
Tricks words being: a wouldn't
settle it for God Almighty" Adding
this was his fight and the company's,
not Mr.. Carnegie's. Whether Mr..
Prick carried his resentment OF White
law Reds interference so far as to
transfer his political influence and his
company's cash contributions from the
republicans to the democrats, and so
helped to create triumphant demo-
cracy." may never be known. but this
is what many republican leaders are
augrily asserting.-Journal of the
Knights of Labor.

SENATORSHIP
All Eyes Turned Toward Kansas 70 See
What win be the Outcome Of the
Senatorial Contest.
Kansas was Once the Banner Repnhll-
can State, But Now Leads in the
POpulist Cause,
With no Underhand Work Kansas Should
Elect POpulist Senator to Succeed
Senator Perkins.

AL eyes are turned 10 Kansas 20 see
what will be the outcome of the sena-
torial election. Kansas was promin-
ent before the people as a republican
state, and is no less so as leader in
the peoples party movement.
Senator PETER has made good
record. and even his political oppon-
ents are obliged to confess that he has
ability and integrity and has well
maintained the honor Of the state in
the senate.
Kansas has more talent and develo-
ped than any other state of til union
in proportion to population. Kansas
is eminently American and Anglo
saxon, and has the push and energy
intensified of the older New England
and middle states.
The peoples party will doubtless
elect United States senator. He will
be worthy conferee of Mr.. PETER,
and Worry successor of the laborious
and efficient Senator Plumb
The peoples party have many good
men for the place. There is John W.
Breidenthal, whose charm anShip OF
the state central committee, has
brought into prominence. He has dis
played remarkable ability and states
manship in his management of the
campaign just closed. He would fill
this place--the senatorship admirably.
Then there is Judge Doster whose
learning and ability are acknowledged
by all without regard to political affili'
alton. He would grandly represent
Kansas in the senate of the nation and
reflect honor upon his constituency.
We have other good men but, Judge
Doster is facile princeps.
Then there is Mrs. Lease, the Joan
of Arc of the peoples party movement
in Kansas and the nation. She is the
most remarkable woman orator VIZ
ever.listened to. She is as graceful al
a willow, and as terrible as a cyclone
She is not a ranter, but q logical anC
powerful speaker. whose eloquence il
irresistible. She would make the
valley of dry bones rattle if once
turned loose in that graveyard Of pro
gressiVe statesmanship-the United
States senate. She would soon drive
the spike of conviction into the pate o,
the sleeping Sisera of recreant parti
sanship in that moss-grown conserva-
tory of political fossils, and the people
would carry them out and bury then
out of sight forever. Their lease o
life,would be short
Whoever may be chosen by thu
populist party will fill the station we'll
They will stand up for Kansas al
right, and for the people of the whole
country.

Sion Thief.

The republican thieves are now cry
'stop thief" to cause alarm and cover
their own dirty tricks. They are pub
fishing canard that the populists will
attempt revolutionary measures to
sieze and get control Of the legislature.
They associate in this conspiracy Gov
ernor Lewelling, Secretary of State
Osbourne, and other populist leaders.
The governor has emphatically denied
that he is party to such a scheme,
and we presume that the secretary of
state and others will also deny the
charge. The ''stop thief cry will not
work. We think that Ballinger. the
competitor of Rice, win not be allowed
a seat until the matter is settled in a
constitutional way. This would leave
the legislature a tie II the secretary
of state has the casting vote deciding
a tie, the populists will organize the
house.
