Mr.. BLAINE gives his reasons for
declining the presidency in the fol-
lowing words:
1.-THE presidents office Is a most
laborious and exhaustiDg one. He
has no vice, no alternate or substi.
tute upon whose shoulders he can
share responsibility. There Is a vice
president, but our scheme OF govern
ment does not permit him to assume
the powers and duties of the presi.
dent except In case Of death, remov-
al. resignation or disability OF the
president. 1t does not contemplate
the vice president as an occasional
acting president for day or two
when the man who has been elected
to that Office may need rest and re-
creation.
1.-THE presidency is an office with
out step. / am now 81 years old,
and although you have told me and
believe that in heart, lungs, kidneys
or otherwise / am free from organic
disease, suffering only from torpidity
Of the liver, do not believe that II
/ were to be inaugurated president I
would live out my term. / find life
too full OF happiness to feel called
upon or inclined to throw it away
II I were assured, therefore, of 8
nomination and election to the presi-
dency, I could not accept 1t. At my
age and with my temperament, and
knowing what the effect of long
life OF exhausting labor has been up
on my vitality, 1t would be construc-
tive suicide"

THE STATE PRESS.

Emporia Republican: The mir
sge IL not the only optical illusion to
be seen In the west. The handsome,
comfortable looking farm houses
thickly scattered over Kansas, for
instance, are not farm houses, but
miserable novels, and the rosy,
happy appearing women and chill
dren that swarm about are in reality
only wan, pinched victims Of pluto
cratic capitalists. Any calamity
orator will assure you OF this.

tokens OF PERDrrIoN."

1t was announced Monday that
Evangelist Vernon would preach on
Tokens OF Perdition," in the eve
ming at Plymouth church, with
special reference to the joint bust
ness. 1t seems that some person or
persons had been sending anonymous
letters to Mr.. Vernon urging him to
pitch into the joints, and roast the
officers for non performance Of duty.
Mr.. Vernon did pitch into the joints,
their Keepers and frequenters, and
handled them sans gloves, but he
also and probably unexpectedly
skinned the writers Of anonymous
letters. He also talked plainly on
other tokens OF perdition, viz:
Licentiousness, lying, theiving and
self-assurance, sins which are prac-
ticed to q more or less extent In this
city.
This is q good time to speak few
plain words on the anonymous letter
writer, probably the same party,
who has printed with rubber stamp
and scattered broad cast over the
city, little slips Of paper seriously
rejecting on our officials. The
JOURNAL cannot be said to be the
official organ Of the present admin
istration, for reasons know to all,
but IL wishes to state plainly and en-
phasize Il, too, that the person who,
under the cover OF anonymity,
attacks men and institutions, Is the
basest kind OF Q coward that ever
lived. Our present city officials are
men, no more and no less. They
stated to the public through
Mr.. Vernon that they do all In their
power In this business, and that
they are always governed in their
actions by the public sentiment be-
hind them.
There seems to be an ides sfioat in
the minds Of certain people that the
liquor business IL the sum OF all sin
aud evil doing, while the truth 10
there are others named above which
are OF equal prevalence, and In
every way as damnable.

Railroad building IL contemplated
In every state and territory with the
exception Of Rhode Island, Eevade
snd-Kansas- Kansas has i've ali.
ance congressman and one senator In
Washington.-6ALINA JOURNAL.
The three states mentioned are re.
presented In the senate and house Of
representatives by seven republicans
six peoples party men and only two
democrats. What is the natural
inference?-Eureka Messenger.
Rhode Island is left out Of the
above list on account Of its diminu-
tive size. Nevada Is out because
there Is nothing there but sand and
sage brush. Kansas is the only
state where politics can have any
possible bearing on the railroad
construction question. Two years
ago Kansas said In her election that
she favored the confiscation OF all
railroad property, and II we do not
err, the Democratic Messenger was
one Of the staunchest advocates OF
this policy OF contlscation. Do rail.
road men care to increase their
property holdings when the express
ed sentiment Of the people is for the
confiscstion Of such property /?
Would the Messenger add to its
equipment II 1t had such q club
hanging over Its head?
There is no question but what
railway extensions are needed in
Kansas SO far as they relate to pro-
viding outlets to the gulf coast.
Something IL being done In this
matter, 1t IL true. but 1t is being done
outside Of Kansas Is this not sieni.
ficant? Kansas il destined to suffsr
for some years to come, all on &C.
count Of the ghost dance two
years ago. The RdiiWay Age, the
authority quoted in the matter, does
not give Kansas the credit for even
. single mile Of side track. What
other explanation can be offered than
calamity, confiscation and cobbling
up laws SO that no man can tell his
standing. A grain OF common sense
exercised In this matter would have
changed the condition.

Nor many weeks since COPY OF
the New York Voice, . paper which
represents the herd to which John
p. st. John belongs, reached this
office. 1t contained . scathing de-
nuuciation Of the postoffice depart
ment alleging that the authorities
withheld the paper from subscribers.
Investigation proved that the "sub-
scribers" refused to take the paper
out of the postoffice, 30 the authori-
ties had no other alternative than to
send the papers back Last week
this same organ accused Congress-
man Funston Of drinking liquor In
the house restaurant, and then scat
tered broadcast copies Of the sheet In
Fuuston's district just before the
primary election when IL was too
late to counterfeit the lie. The pro-
hibitiou law Of Kansas partially
owes Its existence to Funston, who
never took Q drink Of liquor ut the

bitionists,' but II 90, 1t has not yet

A TALE of woe comes to the ears
OF the JOURNAL from the local
calamity party. 1t Is claimed that
the farmers alliance hogs all the
offices, leaving nothing for the citi-
zen's alliance. True the citizens
captured the coroner's office, but the
farmers had nobody to run for that
office, and il don't amount to much
anyway. There has been some quiet
talk on the street for some time now
OF bringing out ex-Councilman Neff.
OF the first ward as q candidate for
the legislature. John Neff lie the
ideal of a reformer. The memory of
man ruuneth not back TO the time
when he associated with one Of the
old parties, except perhaps for Q
single election. His voice has ever
been for war, and he had on his war
paiut when sixteen-seventeenth of
the present reform party Were tied
TO the apron strings Of the plutocrsts,
aud followed the leadership Of the
devils and brigands Of the old
parties. He Is essentially o self
made man, and his friends claim his
eminent services qualify and entitle
him to the consideration they de-
msud at the hands Of his party.
