DEMOCRATIC cowardice and fear
of the party lash" Is once more
demonstrated in the Wisconsin at
torney general who refuses to bring
suit and protests against suit being
brought in the name Of his Office to
test the validity Of the apportion-
ment act Of the Wisconsin Demo-
cratic legislature. No one believes
the apportionment to be fair and
many excellent authorities say the
act is unconstitutional, but 1t mat
tiers not. Democratic advantage
must be maintained even to the
sacrifice of honor and fairness. The
people will correct the error at the
polls in November.

CONGRESSMAN OATES accuses
Kolb, the independent Democrat
who was not counted into the Gov.
ernor's Office Of Alabama, OF stuff
ing the ballot box when there was
no excuse for 1t. In that case Mr..
Kolb's action was probably the re-
suit Of sheer force of habit. II will
be observed that Mr.. Oates makes .
distinction between plain ballot box
stuffing, and stufiing the ballot box
when there was no excuse for 1t.
When there was no excuse for Il 10
when there was no danger Of defeat
ing o Democrat for Office. The
admission that the ballot box was
stuffed at any time OF course don't
count.

WHEN Brother PETER carries his

it Is true sign that he Ii carrying

sible that the minions Of plutocrscy,
who do business In Wall street,
have common cause with the fellows
who have 30 vociferously Lowled at
them for the past two years? The
same day, In giving the names Of

AYEA AND AMEN TINE.

There are times when q man over
flows with gladness because he il
living. Such q day was last Sstur-
day. 1t was a red-letter day inthe
history Of Saline county politics.
There never was a convention like
unto il before, and there may never
be another. The "old crowd" was
out in force. Old wheel-horses Of
Republicanism, many Of whom
through lack Of interest, or tempo
rary enlargement, have not been
seen at Republican conventions in
years, were there to represent Re-
publicans. The "young crowd" was
there but there were no invidious
distinctions between old and young.
The one Is the glory, and the other
the hope Of the party. Harmony
prevailed throughout. Not the
harmony" OF a cut and dried
scheme or trade Of the majority, but
the harmony that arose from the
wish on the part Of every delegate
to do his best for the good OF the
cause and bis country.
Saturdays convention proved that
all the old soldiers are not In the
Alliance. They are as they ever
have been, Republicans. There is
not even a respectable number now
serving their ancient and avowed
enemy through the medium Of the
alliance political movement. They
are not "blear-eyed, cotton-mouthed
fanatics" either, they are the men
who built up Kansas, aud are now
ready to visit with condign punish
ment those who have misrepre-
scented, villified and ridiculed the
fruits of their labOrs.
Added to this there were twenty
delegates at least who last year and
the year before voted with the en-
envy. As one Of them expressed IL
to the writer, "If the Lord will for
give me for voting for John Davis,
/ shall never do such thing again. ,,
A re-organized, united party, i'm
PEELED by the force OF mighty prin-
ciple, greets the enemies OF its state,
and the maligners OF its prosperity
this year. Its chosen representa-
tives are men In whom the people
have confidence, and its members
are men who have enlisted for the
war of determination. There will
be no truce, no retreat, no surrender
and there can be no defeat. Day by
day its organization becomes more
perfect, and its members are aug
mented. Let howlers Of despair and
the chantsrs Of iniquity continue to
inhabit the dark cellars OF fslsehood
il they must, but they must not for
get that out in the bright sunlight
of truth there Is a mighty army
marching on whose mission II Is to
redeem Kansas. And Kansas shall
be redeemed.

1T Is with great pleasure that we
inform our readers that the "force
bill" ghost disturbs no longer the
peaceful slumbers Of our Democratic
friends. Even the Herald 10 not
scared by 1t now, and the spasms 1t
used to through our good friends
into no longer recur. The public 10
not informed officially as to the
cause Of the cure, but 1t Is very anx.
ious to know. In places It has been
found very handy to have poll lists
of colored voters around for use In
an emergency. The use to which
they are put Is to vote the lists,
while the voters are not disturbed.
Meanwhile the fear Of negro domi-
nation disappears.

TRUE to its Bourbon tendencies
the Kansas City Times makes great
kick on how the state government Of
Kansas is conducted. The policy Of
our state government encourages
progression and development. En-
lightenment Is not q good state for
Bourbonism to flourish in and there
fore the Times kicks. The state of
Kansas takes care Of those who can
not care for themselves, this Is
against the Bourbon policy, 1t Is not
so in Missouri and so the Times de-
nounces it. 1t don't cost the Times

its hostility.

SIMPSON SAID n.

An interesting account Of . tilt
between Judge Botkin and Repre-.
sentative Simpson ut Wichita last
week appears In many papers. An
investigation made concerning the
article in question supposed TO have
been written by Simpson shows that
an article signed by Simpson sp-
psared in the National Waterman,
an Alliance paper, Of issue May 2
last. From one feature OF the n.
ticles describing the unfortunate
people the following 10 taken:
1.-THE poor privilege Of producing
wealth IL graciously granted with
the understanding that they sur
render the products of their toll to
those lords Of the nation and thous-
ands denied this poor privilege 60
clothed In rags wanting the neces-
saries Of life. Under these condi-
tions life becomes . fierce and ter
rible struggle. Men sell their honor,
women their virtue, children be-
come criminals and outcssts In
land where the forces for producing
wealth are SO enormous that II the
people could obtain access to this
vast storehouse they could feed the
world and then have abundance
left"
The following sentence concern.
ing established order Of things may
also be Of interest. "Tell the peo-
pie that this fee Ii entrenched be-
Find the law, that precedent and
custom and the mossgrown evils
that have come to be looked upon As
right and just beside wealth, Avarice
and greed arrayed against them and
that to overcome this enemy there
must arise In the people q spirit OF
self-sacrifice and q devotion to
principle"
By way Of . hint for supplies to
carry on this imaginary war the
following: "Ali must give what
they can to swell the fund, to bear
the expenses for the grandest con-
fiict that ever human beings have
been engaged in"
The article Is distinctly fireworks
affair and forcibly reminds one Of
some inflsmmatory matter appear
ing In the French Revolutionary
times. One Of the editors Of the
Waterman says Simpson was re-
quested to write an article, and In
response he brought this In with his
name to IL. The same issue shows q
number Of contributors from vsri-
Gus parts Of the country giving the
situation In their respective locsli-
ties. Simpsons article, appearing
I'm this connection, does not liberate
itself from the idea that 1t was In
tended to cover his section OF the
country. The explanation he offers
that the part Of 9 sentence quoted
by Botkin applied to New York and
Boston 10 scarcely warranted by the
article itself, rs estimated, as the
name Of neither city appears In the
article

THERE can be no excuse this year
for the dissfiection Of any man who
ever claimed to be Republican. II
the whole history Of the Republican
party could be blotted out there is
still enough left OF vital principle
in the Republican party, to call for
the support OF every friend Of honest
government. IL is no time for sulk-
ing and whining, and Republicans
have no time to waste in devoting a
moments thought or consideration
10 sulkers or winners. Every man
has his duty to perform, but IL some
neglect Il they are the ones to bear
the burden OF responsibility.

II what Mr. Lewelling says is true
that our immense wheat crop will
not pay the interest on our in
debtedness, we must be the most
unprinciPled gang OF confidence

will not pay the interest on our debt
then the amount Of lying and misre-
