For the benefit of those Republi-
can patriots who are now vehemently
censuring the Democratic house for
defeating the free silver bill passed
by the Republican senate we would
remind them that there are in the
senate twenty-eight Democrats and
fifteen Republicans in favor Of free
silver, and ten Democrats and thirty
two Republicans against it. From
this it may easily be seen who may
be credited for the passage of the free
silver bill by that body. Let no west
ern nam be deceived by the deceptive
pretenses of Republican politicians.

SOME of our exchanges express sur
prise at Gen. Snowdon's naughty,
imperial manner Of addressing the
Homestead strikers. If they knew
him they would expect nothing better.
He is personally known to the writer.
He is a born sristocrat, and one of
the most contemplate of his kind. In
walking the street he can see nothing
below the second story window, and
common people are completely below
his notice or consideration. It is fit
ting that just such man should
command the military forces sent to
aid Mr.. Frick in displacing unoin with
non-union labor at the Homestead
works. Great is protection.

In connection with the testimony
of Mr.. MCLuckie, before the congress
sional investigating committee, the
following from Mr.. McKinley's
speech in congress on September 27,
1890, may be of interest:
The metal schedule, which occupies % pages
Of the bill, has received earnest consideration
because of the Importance Of the great indus
tries it represents. Nothing has been done In
the metal schedule that can result In loss OF bus
lneSs or prestige, and nothing that can coll for a
reduction Of iUGOes or a dtminuatiOn Of thenunl-

KANSAS is always proud of Mrs.
Lease, and was never more 80 than
at the Omaha convention. No wom-
an in America was ever more villifed
than she has been by the scandal
mongers of the Republican party,
and in the face of it all her fame
grows brighter as the days go by.
Her power in this reform movement
was never greater than at this mo-
ment. Her influence in the coming
campaign will be greater than ever
before. The more she is villifed the
more the great masses of the people
respect and admire her. Kansas can
be relied upon to stand by Mrs.
Lease.

A CAMPAIGN OF INSULT.

It must be humilating to the proud leaders
the once great Democratic party to take refug'
under the filthy mantle OF Mrs. Lease.
The above coarse and insolent ut
terance fell from the lips Of the stan
dard bearer of the once great Repub-
ican party Of the state Of Kansas, al
the opening Of the campaign at To
peka July Is.
It has been repeatedly announced
by Republican leaders that the COM
ing campaign would be one OF educa-
tion and argument, but at its very
inception the opposite course was
pursued. Infsmmstory appeals to
sectional prejudice, discussion OF
worn out and irrelevant topics, super
fetal mention of live questions, and
ribald abuse of Peoples party leaders
these constitute the entire "eduoa-
tional argument" Of Messrs. Anthony,
Burton, Smith, ct al.
The blsckgusrd reference to Mrs.
Lease by Farmer Smith is one upon
which not only every member of the
Peoples party, but every woman in
the state, as we'll as every lover Of
purity and refinement in American
politics, should set the seal Of con-
demnstion and disgust.
While men alone occupied the po-
litical arena they might and did with
impunity be as vulgar and abusive
as their mate cosrseness prompted.
That they did thus dare and do is the
direct cause of the appalling demora-
lizstion of politics "a Generalization
which has driven decent men from
the political arena, left the field clear
for bummers, thugs, tricksters and
hypOcriteg, whose villainous proceed
ings have turned that which should
have been Conduced on a higher
plane Of patriotic citizenship into
"dirty pool" whose miasma has
poisoned the entire nation well nigh
unto death.
The advent of women upon the po-
litical rostrum in protest against the
evils which threaten the destruction
Of their special sphere the home
ls the signal which sounds the death
knell Of brutality and cannlbalism in
politics. Men will give and take blows
which they will not permit a woman
to receive without indignant protest.
Such is the natural instinct of all de-
cent men.
If Farmer Smith or any other Of
the Republican candidates persist in
their vltuperative mention of Mrs.
Lease they will discover that the out
ragged sense of every true Kansan
will fittingly rebuke their loaferism.
And this righteous wrath will be
aroused, regardless Of assent or dis
sent from the political doctrines Mrs.
Lease advocates. Kansas sentiment
overwhelmingly stands by the right
and the duty of woman to use her
God given endowments in patriotic
service Of her country and her state.
Mrs Lease has used her natural
gifts for such high purpose, and to

THE TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The strikes at Homestead and in
the mines of Idaho are only indica-
tions Of the general unrest that every
where pervades society throughout
the world. In nearly every country
upon the globe the rapid concentra-
tion Of wealth in few hands is con-
stantly widening the gulf between
the patrlcian and the plebeian classes.
As wealth increases in the hands Of
the few they become more and more
arrogant and more and more greedy
in their demands. The tendency of
the times is to constantly lower the
standard of wages paid to labor IN
order to constantly add to the accu-
mutations of the non-produoing class
es. The strikes that occur from time
to time are merely local protests
against this general policy. In every
instance almost organized labor is
defeated. There is always to be
found q sufficient number Of idle men
who have either been formerly forced
into idleness in consequence Of the
depressed condition Of all industrial
pursuits, or have been imported from
the idle hordes of foreign countries
for the purpose, to displace organ
lied labor, always at lower wages
than have been formerly paid. The
Pinkerton army, or if need be the
state militia or the army of the Unit
ed States, under the pretense Of pro-
lection to vested rights, can always
be relied upon to assist in the dis
placement and to see that it is accom-
plished to the satisfaction Of the en-
ployers of labor. AS Mr.. Carnegie
observes, the owners of the mills have
a right to transact their own business
in their own way. Labor is never
conceded to have any rights that cap
ital or government authorities are
under any obligations to respect.
After the displacement has taken
place and non-union men have sup
planted organized lsborers, it is only
a question of time when they in turn
find it necessary to organize against
the further encroachments of their
employers. Soon a reduction from
the lower price which they had at
first consented to accept is demanded.
Then occurs another strike, and again
the idle hordes are drawn upon to
take the place Of the strikers, and the
military again stands ready to see the
new infamy consummsted. The slid
ing scale of wages always slides
downward, and the constant tendency
of the times is the perpetual degra-
dation of labor. The revolts that
have thus far broken out have been
local and easily subdued. How long
the great producing masses will thus
submit to be defeated in detail re-
mains to be seen. The hope that the
great industrial revolution now pend
ing may be peaceably accomplished
at the ballot box seems frequently to
be ovsrshadowed by serious doubt
That the revolution is to come in one

A FORGED NOTE.
u Causes m Interesting Legal Fight In
Suit to Collect 1t.


Suit to Collect 1t.
The case of !. p. Taylor against Mrs. NJ. l. Nc.
Dougali, osssnsibiy nothing more than an ordi-
nary suit to recover on q promissory note,
brought out an interesting story on its hearing
Yesterday in Judge Osborn's court.
Ara McDougali is q well known resident of
Snohomish county. Last January in return for
Legal service she gave her note for $3.50 to
Thomas 4. Barry, lawyer of this city, who
has since left the country TO avoid the conse.
cnerce Of his crooked transactions Shortly
after the note, which ran for sixty days, became
due, Mrs. McDougali received notice from !. r
1sylor, of this city, that he held note of $3.50
against her, having bought ii from Barry. Tay-
ior also held a note for SIPS, purporting to be
drawn by Mrs. McDoueali In favor OF Barry.
Mrs. McDougalI denounced the SIPS note as
forgery and refused to pay 1t. The note for $3.50
she acknowledged as having drawn, but being
short OF ready money, asked for renewal of it.
Taylor thereupon drew up new note for $50
In his favor and Mrs. McDougail signed it. The
old note waa then torn up.
Shortly afterward Mrs. McDougall was notified
BY the Filkins Banking Company that il held
her note for $3.50 1t then came out that Barry
had sold the genuine note, or the one she claims
10 have been genuine, to the bank. This note
was paid. The note for $3.50 held by Taylor Mrs
McDougall refused 70 pay. Taylor brought suit
on II, aud the defense set up was shat there had
been no confederation for IT.
A. the trial of tho case yesterday John NJ
Gearin appeared for Taylor and Charles F. Fish
back for Ms. McDougal. The fight made by
the defense was to show that the note was
worthless since it was given In place of forged
note. AZ the note alleged to have been forged
vas destroyed even before close examination
By Mrs McDougall, the fact Of its being q forg-
eycould not be a;firmatively established to a
esssinty Evidence was, however introduced
approve the genuineness OF the note held by the
Haim Banking Company, and Mra McDougall
Mcss hat she had given but one note.
!udr Osborn instructed the jury that if
aes werc satisfied that the note first held by
IHos was forgery then they should decide that
neaose given In the place of it was given with
out consideration. and should hnd for the

WONG SEONG IDENTIFIED.
Customs Off cers Recognize Him as An
Old Time Offender.

United States Commissioner Klefer yesterday
held Wong Seong, one of the three Cinnamon
captured by the customs officers a few nights
ago near Woolley, to answer to the United States
circuit court on charge OF aiding and abetting
the unlawful entry OF Cinnamon in the country
Failing to furnish $1,000 bail, he ives sent TO
Jail.
4 charge OF being illegally in this country,
which was at first placed against Wong Scoug,
was dismissed and the one upon which he was
held placed against him. He was thought to be
the same Chinaman who two years ago made a
desperate fight against customs officers at Dunge-
ness. Yesterday J. S. Fem, now postmaster OF
Port Angeles, but formerly customs inspector,
identified the Chinsm6n as the one who figured
in the fight at Dungeness A Chinese boy was
killed at that time and it is possible another
charge may be placed against Wong Seong.
