Dividing the State.

1t is trifle amusing to see the great
dailies to tho east of us spend columns
discussing the question of dividing Kan
sas because one little editor out west
mentioned the subject. And then, af-
ter all this, it is quite killing to have
the Kansas City Times, with owl-like
gravity, spend an half column on this
subject, under the heading, Early
Buds of Crankism," and sagely advise
the people not to do it. Don't worry.
The people of Kansas have never been
inclined to divide the state. Most of
the talk about it has come from beyond
our borders. Let US quietly suggest
that it is family possible that cranks
are as numerous, or more so. outside
the borders of Kansas as within them.

The Alliance Detection.

And now the press that has always
been inimical to the farmers alliance,
has suddenly taken a new interest in
the order, because the order concluded
that McCune and Tillman who, it seems.
nave been playing the order into demo-
cratic hands, were not bigger than the
order itself. This interested portion of
the press heralds the fact that the whole
south proposes to bolt because Loucks.
northern man, was chosen president.
Yet from their own columns it appears
that every other officer chosen was a
southern man. 1t was this same press
That gloated over the detection of those
pigmies, Hall and McAlllster, and made
them begger than they ever were be-
fore, or eyer will be again. 1t was this
press that lauded McGrath after Nc
Grath had been renounced by the alli-
ance of Kansas. The alliance has al.
ways had the courage to dc the bounc-
ing act, when they thought it necessary.
whether it were McGrath, Hall, Meal
lister, McCune or Tillman. and we trust
they always will. If political parties
were as successful In riding rough shod
over barnscles and equity members our
government would be more of repub-
lie in fact as well as name.

NOT THE FIRST LANDSLIDE.
Some Political History that w ont Make
the Present Burden Easier to Bear.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE great dem
ocra'ic victory in the election on Tues
day is called landslide by politicians.
Such landslides are peculiar to Ameri-
can politics. They do not occur often.
There have been only three such since
the foundation of the government. The
democratic party is the only political
party which has survived landslide
when 1t was on the underside of the
slide.
When democrats get tired of rejoicing
over The victory won Tuesday, and re-
publicans get tired of wondering how it
all happened, they can all find rest and
amusement in comparing it with SINH
lar events that took place fifty-two and
forty years ago respectively. They will
find many interesting condolences when
they come to compare the three great
events in American politics. One of
the first they will notice is that of Ben
jamin Harrison's grandfather. William
Henry Harrison VS. elected president in
l84Oby landslide as big as The one that
defeated his grandson in 1892. Twelve
years later the second great landslide
occurred, and that one was the begin
ming of the end of the Wing party, which
got crushing defeat in the election of
1852. The republican party IS thirty six
years old this fall. 1t nominated candi-
dates first III 1856. The Wing party was
just tnirty-slX years old when it ceased
to exist. There is another coincidence
which may interest both democrats and
republicans just now. The Wing party
was not in power so long as the republic
can party has been, but it died hard. 1t
survived the landslide of 1852 eight years.
but it was younger when the slide came
than the republican party is to-day. Its
youthful vitality kept it alive for eight
years, but it was poor and hopeless
sort of existence.
y feature of these political landslldes
is that the candidates who were on the
wrong side of them were meyer after
ward elected TO any important office.
Martin Van Buren,, who was regarded
as something of politician in his day,
was on the wrong side of the slide that
carried William Henry Harrison into
the white house. He afterwards became
a sort of standing candidate for presl-
dent, but never got an electoral vote.
He was nominated by the Free-soil par
ty four years later, and by the Know
nothing, or An erican, party eight years
afterward, but failed to carry a single
state other time.
Gen. Winfield Scott went down under
the great democratic landslide of 1910
and 1852 differed from this year in that
the successful candidate in those cleo
lions got comparatively small MAORI
ties of the popular vote, while they had
four-fifths of the votes in the electoral
college. But the three were alike in
that each was the work of the people
and not of the politicians.

that he has the afIidavlts of two of the

w. NJ. Erwin of Sioux Falls, s. d.,
one of the Amalgamated association
volunteer counsel, declared that there
was no proof of strike at the time of
the riot, but all the jury could know
was that the Pinkertons were there as
armed foreign men, fol there had been
no evidence that they were watchmen.
Continuing he said: Unless the right
of the Plnkertons to be there was made
plain, the people should have shot them
down; should have followed them to
their hearthstones and shot them down
there; should have shot them at Gods
own alter, and, if possible, to follow
them across the great boundary should
have followed them across the graves
and shot them down as they lay on the
bosoro of the prince of hell. But in
case you do not agree with me that the
force was an illegal armed evasion, was
there any organized resistance to the
landing? Not bit of evidence was
introduced to show it. There was a
CRY of "Scabs, you can't land" There
were no scabs there. No resistance to
legally authorized Waterman. The
people were there not for riot. The
first shot came from boat-aimed at
whatp Strikersp No; men, women
and children. God in heaven, do you
deny the right of those on shore to de-
fend themselvesP No. Hasten the
defense. Fire, oil and dynamite should
be used on those who fire upon the
people.

The idea of the trainers of our state con-
| stitution and Of our lawmakers was that every
child of sound mind and tolerably sound body
should be enacted at puplic expense in the
common schools, and who will say the idea is
nos Q wise one? 1t was not deemed best for
the interests of the commonwealth to provide
the faculties for educating them and then
simply to leave 1t optional with the parents
whether they would patronize the schools or
not, and 50 to carry out this idea compulsory
education law has been educated, the spirit of
which is exactly correct, but which is pract-
ically. for the most part, dead letter because
difficult to lnforce. We can not expect much
from this compulsory law under present con-
litions but every good citizen ough, to respect
the spirit which brought it into existence and
see that each and every child has the benefit
OF the public school so far as possible. School
oihcers can, in mauy instances, do much
toward inducing parents to send their children
regularly to school by kind advice and sug-
gestions. There is work here for the teacher
too. There are also some cases where the
compulsory law could be and ought to be
enforced by the Director of the district as the
statute provides.
We have heard of number of teachers who
observed the Thanksgiving holiday by taking
vacation some of whom did not resume work
till Monday, We hope several from this
county attended the ASSOCIATION at Wichita
but at this writing have not heard of a single
one-or married one either who did so. The
Co. Supt. did not attend this time.
