NO MORE NATIONAL ORGAN.

The following resolution adopted
by the national council at Memphis
indicates what is likely to be done
with the national organ. The Econo-
mist has forfeited, not only its right
to such recognition, but also the con-
fidence and respect of all true mem
bers of the order. It's subscribers
are forsaking it by the thousands.
Resolution by Brother sutler, Of Ar
kansas:
Resolved by the supreme council, That
we refer the question Of national organ
and the relation Of this organization TO the
National Economist, TO our executive COM
mittee, with this instruction, that, while we
do not admit the principle that former
council may bind this body, we request the
executive committee to do whatever che
honor Of the Alliance and the interests OF
justice may demand; and further, that il 10
the sense of this body that the time has ar
rived when all Alliance papers should be put
on the same footing.
Adopted.

THE INDUSTRIAL LEGION.

There will be meeting in this city
on Saturday, December II, 1892, for
the purpose of arranging for the or
ganizstion of the Industrial Legion
in this state. All who desire to enter
tn efeld as organizers'and all who are
interested in the organization are in
vited to be present. The constitution
Of the Legion is published in another
column. We would have been glad
to have gwen earlier notice OF this
meeting, but 1t was not decided upon
IN time. J. F. Willis, the organizer
for.the western states, will be present,
and instruct those who wish to join
the order, and commission those who
may be selected as organizers for the
various sections of the state. Let
there be as good an attendance as this
short notice will permit.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-14

conformity with the general sentl-
ment Of the people, it was decided
that there should be no inaugural
ball included in the arrangements FOR
which this citizens meeting should
provide, but that the ceremonies
should be simple and unostentatious
and in keeping with the principles
and professions Of the Peoples party.
The chairman and an advisory
committee appointed for the purpose
were authorized to appoint the several
committees and report the same to an
adjourned meeting on Monday even
ing, December 12. The printing of
our large edition and that Of the
Kansas Farmer make it necessary to
go to press early Tuesday morning,
SO that we are unable in this issue to
give the names Of the committees or
anything further concerning the pro-
gram. These will appear in the next
issue.
An effort will be made to secure
reduced rates on all railroads, and q
general invitation is extended to the
people Of Kansas to be present and
participate in the Inauguration Of the
governor they have elected.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-14
THE INAUGURAL.

A meeting Of citizens of Topeka and
vicinity was held at the hall, 313
Kansas avenue, on the evening of
December 5, for the appointment Of
committees and for making prelimi-
nary arrangements for the insugura-
ton Of the governor-elect on the 9th
of January. Agreeably to the wishes
of the governor himself, as well as in
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-14

for some one to sign their petition,
embrace every opportunity they end
to tell the public what the policy of
the state administration will be- aud
what the governor will or will not do
They presume to speak by the card,
too, and their words have as much
force after they have reached a dis
tant locality through the republican
press as if they were the administra-
tion itself.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-14

enrolled 127 members, Of which over thirty
are from Topeka post, and the remainder
are from other posts, with the exception Of
thirteen who have never identified them
selves with the Grand Army.
We have in our organization az true and
loyal republicans as ever cast a ballot, who
are tired Of being led around by camp
followers, and men like the editor of the
Western Veteran.
The members Of the "Boys in Blue" are
opposed to eleohng daughters of the
post " and voting $40 out of the treasury for
buying badges for the daughter" and
then going TO the poor commissioner with
pitiful tale and begging corn meal and fat
pork to be sent to sick comrsde. We are
opposed to sending such comrades TO
Christ's hospital, promising to pay their
care, and then trying to have the taxpayers,
through the county commissioners, pay the
bill. We are opposed to having the tax
payers furnish the coffin to bury a deceased
Oomrade, and placing him in pauper's
grave. We will bury our deceased COM
rades, take care of the sick and help the
needy, without asking the aid of the county
commissioners or placing them in psuper's
grave after death.
We are opposed to swindlinR schemes,
such as the 9. A. R. fair, where prizes are
advertised, and when an old comrade,
through wounds received in battle 10 unable
to work, buys ticket, draws an Overcoat,
donated by our merchants, being beat out
Of it, and have il given to one with little
more "politiCal pull" and a good fat gov
ernment Office.
Now, Mr.. Editor, thsre are many other
reasons why we severed our connection with
the Grand Army, but believe your readers,
or the most Of them at least, understand the
cause, so IL will be unnecessary to sllude to
il here. As to the latter part Of the edi-
toriRl you quoted, il ia too villainous to
notice, and is unworthy moments thought.
Such sentiments could only be written by q
selfish, unsCrupulous, weak minded poll.
tioian, and not by "a good, loyal, true,
brave comrade."
The objects, aims and purposes of the
organization Of the "BoyS in Blue" are
in press, and when printed will be given to
the world, and We believe will be approved
by every one who holds our country and
flag higher than party ties. And right here
/ would like to say that the commanding
general Of the "Boys in Blue" received
more wounds in battle during the late war
than the editor Of the Veteran served months.

Brig. Gen. Boys in Blue.

CAN'T STAND UP FOB THIEVES.
Adopted.

Judge Foster, of the United States
court, has written a brief but pointed
letter to Gov. Humphrey, which will
probably be read with more zest by
the people of Kansas than it was by
the governor. It is as follows:
UNITED STATES COURT,
DISTRICT OF KANSAS
TOPEKA, KAs., December 3, 1892.
Hon. l. U. Humphrey:
. DEAR GovERNoR:-I have been " Standing
up for Kansas" to the best of my ability,
but when 1t comes to stealing members OF
the legislature and presidential electors
from political opponent, you must excuse
me If sit down. Sincerely yours.

HE FORGOT TO MENTION 1T.

President Harrison in his message
expresses much satisfaction IN the
fact that the wealth of this country
has increased from $16,OOO,OOO,OOO in
1860 to $62,OOO,OOO,OOO in 1890, but he
somehow forgot to mention that in
1860 more than one-half of the aggre-
gate wealth of the country was in the
hands of the industrial classes, while
in 1890 31,OOO people own fve-eighths
of it. This little matter probably
slipped his memory, otherwise ho
would certainly have spoken of it.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-14

THEY MISTAKE THE TEMPER OF THE
PEOPLE.


United States senate. Her friends
have not failed to observe this, nor
have they failed to discover the mo-
tive of 1t. Mrs. Lease has been the
target of more villsinous personal
abuse from these same papers ever
since she took the platform in behalf
of the Peoples cause, than perhaps
any other one person connected with
the movement. Her household has
even been invaded by the tongue OF
scandal, and a crime actually COM
mitted by the son Of member of the
republican county committee of Sedg-
wick county was charged to her son,
who had nothing whatever to dc, with
it. Why? Simply to excite preju-
dice against her and thereby bring
reproach indirectly upon the cause
in which she was engaged. 1t is not,
then, because of any respect or re-
gard for her that so much interest is
being manifested in her as sena-
torial candidate. What IS the mo.
tive? 1t was freely stated by one of
the tribe in conversation upon the
subject. He said her election would
be the means Of fastening the down
fall of the Peoples party. There is
not doubt that this belief prevails
among those republican editors who
are manifesting so much enthusiasm
upon this subject, and there is not a
doubt that they were never more mis-
taken in their lives. The success of the
Peoples movement in Kansas is very
largely due to the influence and the
work of Kansas women. If our sue
cess surpasses that of other states it
is in great measure because the
women of the state have joined in the
work and have received, in some de-
gree at least, the recognition which
their services have merited. The
education Of Kansas people along the
line of progress has included the sub
ject of the equality of the sexes, and
though there have been strong preju-
dices to contend with, even among
the women of the state, public senti-
ment has undergone a wonderful
transformation, and those who think
the election of a woman to the United
States senate would be means of
dislntegratiOn of the party are reckon
ing without their host.
AS before stated, the ADVOCATE has
no candidate for United States sena-
tor, but we desire that no injustice
shall be done to any person, and these
remarks are designed solely to correct
a false construction of the brief no
tice that appeared in the references
to senatorial candidates last week.
Mrs. Lease has the endorsement of
the Equal Suffrage association and
her candidacy is entitled to the same
respect as that of any other person.
The election rests with the legisls-
ture, and there need be no appre-
hension that the choice of that body,
whoever it may be, will result dis
astrously to the party. Such theory

GOOD FOR 1.-THE BOYS IN BLUE

GUUD fUh IHh BUYS LIN bhUh.
The extreme partisanship of tn
G. A. R. as body, together with it
intolerance Of everything not favor
able to the republican party, has KEEP
a great many old soldiers from join
ing the organization, and driven
great many members of it to with

to which they were subject in the G
A. r. and who have no sympathy will

ness which has characterized tina

of "The Boys in Blue" The su
dacitY that could thus dare to entel
into any other organization of ole
soldiers than the Grand Army was to-
much for that prince of bigots and
prevaricators, the editor of the West
ern Veteran, and he published one o
his characteristic screeds condemn
ing it. In doing this he woke up tn
wrong crowd. Ed. G. Moore, BRIG
Gen. of the Boys in Blue" has writer
q reply which is published in th,
Evening Journal of December 7, ant
which shows that he lis not only &C.
quainted with the editor of tn,
Veteran, but that he also know
something &bout the transactions o
the Grand Army in Topeka. Th'
following is Mr.. Moore's letter:
TOPEKA, KAs., December z, 1892.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
In your issue Of last evening FAN articl
appeared under the heading ''Takes Up tn
Fight" in which you say that ''The West
ern Veteran, a Grand Army journal of thi
city. has taken up the fight against the Boy
in Blue organization, which the Populist
have incorporated in this state" and thsl
you proceed to publish part Of the editoria
which appeared in the columns of th,
Veteran this week. Now, Mr.. Editor,

for the reason that the editor Of the Veteran
always pleads the baby act when he i
pounced upon for articles appearing in hi
paper detrimental TO the interests of the oil
soldiers, the same as he does when aske'
why he did not 60 into the army before th
war was over; but the Journal seeing flt h
give the editorial notice and sending i
broadcast does an injustice TO many Of tn
best old soldier citizens Of Kansas.
The article is false, and maliciously so
when it charges that the originators Of thI
organization are Populists and People
party men, and "that not one Of the organ
izers is a member Of any Grand Army poS.t'
The originators Of the "BOys in Blue" ar,

Better Not Play the Hand.

The News is dreadfuliy shocked
because when a Republican county
officer is sent below to get tickets
printed that could have just as easily
been printed here, the Silver party
keep such excellent track of him.
It is not usual when a man $ bust
ness is strictly on the square, to see
him lodging about the country by
circuitous routes, not registering his
name at hotels where he stops, and
doing everything in an underhanded
and mysterious way.
The silver men of Ormsby had
wind of the contemplated jobbery Of
the Republican mapipulatcrs weeks
before they sent their emissary be-
below, and nipped it in the bud Dy
a public expose Of these peculiar
election methods.
All we ask now is to request the
managers that they will
play square cards and not use the
hand up their sleeve.

robbers boarded. They went into the

up number of registered packages.
They then pulled the bell cord, the
train slowed down and they jumped,
