DRIyELING ROT.

The Kansas City Times OF May 1st,
in a half column editorial, under
takes to point out to the people of
Kansas the miserable failure Of their
representatives to accomplish any
thing for the benefit oftheir constitu-
ents. The following Is a part of
what it says:
One Of the chief causes OF the Alliance up
heaval in Kansas two years ago was an impress
sion created among the farmers that their Sena-
tors and representatives In congress were neg
lecting home interests; that when they got to
Washington they fell under the influence and
control Of the money pOwer-Of the eastern
'plutOcracy," and accomplished nothing Of
value for their Kansas constituents. This idea
was induStriOusly cultivated by the Alliance
candidates for congress and the senate who did
not hesitate to promise great and substantial
benefits as the result Of their election If that
could be accomplished.
Congress has been In session long enough now
for the first .instalment Of these important bene
fits, at least, to be received. Where are they?
Where are the wonderful things which Messrs.
PETER and Simpson and Otis and their asso-
ciates were going to do for their farmer con-
stltuents?
They have not materialized. They never will
materiallze The Alliance statesmen have done
nothing, and they can do nothing They are
utterly untitled by education or experience for
legislative work, and they have made humlll-
ating failure. A few plgeOnhOles stuffed with
wild and impractical bills, killed as soon as pre-
sented, represent the sum total of their months
of labor.
The congressman elected on the
Peoples ticket never offered the peo-
pie any encouragement that anything
could be accomplished for their re-
lief in this congress. They never
thought Of accomplishing anything.
Their constituents were not fools
enough to e9pect them to accomplish
anything With Democratic house
and Republican senate and execu-
tive all alike pledged to Wall street
interests, standing between them and
any possible legislation in the inter
est Of the people, no one but a fool
would think of such thing. The
Times betrsys its own imbecility and
insults the intelligence Of it's readers
by the publication of such rot.
While upon this subject we desire
to ask the Times what the Democratic
house with its 148 majority has done!
Please enumerate the titles of the
bills it has passed for the benefit Of
the people. Such partisan slush as
the Times is inficting upon it's read
ers is becoming exceedingly tiresome
and will have the opposite effect from
that which is intended. Our five
Kansas congressman and United
States senator will have more COM
pany after awhile and the pigeon
holes will then be filled with another
class of impractical bills," which, in
turn will likewise be "killed as soon

WHO SHALL BE CANDIDATE FOR GOV-
ERNORY

A number Of prominent gentlemen
have been named for the head of our
ticket by the people Of the state, and
The ADVOCATE in expressing It's pref
erenCe from among these, does not pro
pose to attempt the foolish expedient
Of trying to strengthen that preference
by dispsrsging the merits Of other
candidates. There are certain cOnsid-
erations, however, which should have
weight in determining the choice of
our convention. There are two places
upon the state ticket that all will
concede should be filed by men
who are learned in the lsw-sssoci-
ate justice Of the supreme court and
attorney general.
We believe we shall voice the sem
timent of very large part Of the
voters in our own party, however,
when we protest against the selection
Of the entire state ticket from the
legal profession. There is tremen-
dous effort being made TO create q
boom for the candidacy Of Attorney
General Ives for governor. We are
decidedly and unalterably opposed to
this. General Ives stated to as per-
sonally that he would prefer a re-
nomination to the position he now
holds. He has made the same state
ment to others If this be true we
cannot be charged with sntsgonizing
his interests by opposition to his can
didacy for the other place. His nom
ination for governor would place
three attorneys instead of two upon
the ticket, which is rather more than
can reasonably be asked.
The voters in various parts OF the
state have expressed their preference
for gubernatorial candidates from
among farmers and business men in
different localities. Are all other oc-
Cupations except that Of the legal
fraternity TO be ignored in the make
up Of the ticket? Did this boom for
Attorney General Ives emsnate from
the rank and file of Kansas votersa
While his candidacy has been sup
ported by some of them land we do
not call in question their sincerity or
honestly, still, il we are to Judge from
the correspondence that comes to this
Office, the great mass Of the rank and
file Of our party do not desire his
nomination for that place
There are still other reasons why
we are opposed to this nomination
that need not be stated here We are
satisfied that, after mature reflection,
the masses Of our people will agree
with us upon this subject 1t is an
important matter, and should be dis
passionately considered.

A Republican paper is expected to do good

The Capital has certainly done its

a single instance in exposing the in

tempting to block street railway extern

finding that he was not 10 carry his idea
to successful issue, his resort to parlia-
mentary tactics to delay the passage of
the ordinance was not a graceful act.
The successful passage Of the ordinance,
THE ARGUS has been informed by Presi-
dent Louderback, is not matter of the
least concern to the syndicate, which has
no particular desire to build the exten~
sion. The ordinance to make the extern
sion originated with the property holders
living along the bluff, aud the street car
company agreed to put in the line if per
mitted to build it Chesply. T rail costs
about half as much as tram rail, and along
the bluff would be equally as accepts
bic to the majority of people. THE
ARGUS would prefer to see tram rail
used, but if the building of the line is de-
pendant upon the stipulations permitting
T rail, then we say build it under all cons
ditions. If the company can be per-
suaded to put in the tram rail so much
the better, but if not, an Improvement of
so much concern should not fail because
of the sprejudice of down town alder
man. The syndicate gave Rock Island
the first tram rail ever put in here, sub
stituting it for T rail which had rotted in
the streets without a murmur being
head. The council has permitted the
Moline Central TO lay T rail and also
granted an ordinance for further use OF
the same rail which was not, however,
taken advantage f,and it seems like I'M
