TO CORRECT ABUSES.
What the Party of Progress and Reform
Will Accomplish.

VIII Accomplish.
Republicans viii find in their organs
repeated assertions that they have
been put on record as against the prac-
tice of flibustering. 1t will be pleas
ant reading for republicans in the New
York legislature. They are told that
their record forbids filibustering, and
yet withdraw in body to prevent ac-
ton by their political opponents. Re-
publicans were the originators of the
practice of legislative filibustering. as
they We're authors of the system of
gerrymandering. Both these evils
grew and fiourished under republican
rule. In some respect the evil exam
pie Of republicans has been corrupting
to democrats, and there have been
found those who would rebel at the
charge of initiating republican knavery
who have brought discredit on the
democratic party by fostering schemes
that had been denounced when origi-
mating with the opposition.
But because Mr.. Reed will go down
to posterity as the cunning and I'M
scrupulous car of billion-dollar con-
gress there is no reason why democrats
elected because of popular revulsion
against Reedism should initiate his
ways. The democrats have control of
the New York legislature. Their power
resulted from neglect by repu blicans
of plain obligations. If democrats at
Albany or democrats at Des Moines
wish to serve their party they can do
SO by holding firmly to a strict per-
Torrance of promises It will avail
little with the people that a political
party has put itself on record if acces-
sion to power is made occasion for
breaking the promises under which it
was gained.
There is no fear of the democratic
majority at Washington. On some
questions there may be honest differ
ence of opinion. But on the main
issue on which the democratic party
appealed to the people and gained their
overwhelming power in the house
there can only be question as to de-
tails. VIVA: the majority of the house
determine as to matters of taxation
will be accepted by the party at large
as the measure of progress possible
toward reform of abuses that have
grown up under republican rule. No
autocracy is necessary to insure action
in this direction Times

The ST. Louis Street-Car System.

1t is justly claimed for st. Louis tina,
that city has now one of the best, and
soon will have the best, street-railway
systems in the country. The changing
from horse to electric and cable power
has not only greatly benefited the trav-
cling public, but the earnings of the
companies have shown a material in
crease. The average daily earnings of
all the street-car lines in the city in
1890 were SO, 292, and in 1891 they were
S11, O55, an increase of 81, 763, or 10 per
cent Very few lines show decrease
in the earnings, and these lines, with
but two exceptions, are using horses
and mules.

values looking up. and thousands of
dollars worth of property changing
hands daily. but there are scores of
contracts being let every day for more

cOlumnA If in favor Of this measure,
how does it propose that the govern
ment shall obtain such controls
Does the Capital favor such
amendment of the mortgage law a.
to provide for a liberal right Of re-
demption Of all real property after
sale under foreclosure of mortgageP'
Would this not endanger our
credit and drive capital out Of the
state?
Talk about abandonment Of former
demands! If there was ever q party
since time began that has advocated
everything and adhered to nothing,
it is the republican party, especially
the Kansas end of it. When the
Capital undertakes to talk about con-
sistencY it will find more examples in
it's own columns exemplifying the
most fragrant departures from it than
in all the other papers of all parties
in the state. It has been on every
side Of every question, and 1t never
knows one day what it has said the
day before.

THEY DENY WHAT INGALLS, SAID.

We are receiving letters from Peo-
ple's party men saying that republi-
cans deny that John J. ingalls, ever
uttered the words quoted by the AD.
vooATE in comparison with Jerry
Simpsons letter to the National
WatchmGn. This is not surprising.
Those republicans are not readers.
If they read anything it is some little
719 republican sheet which sseks TO
hold it's readers in line by keeping
them in ignorance
Now if there are a great many men
of this kind, it is the duty Of Peoples
party men who do possess some
knowledge Of events, to enlighten
them. Nearly every newspaper Office
in the state probably has files of the
Congressional Record, and the par.
ticulsr quotation here referred to
may be found in the Record Of JAN
nary Is, 1891, on page 1876. We ad-
wise republicans to read the whole
speech. II Jerry Simpson or any
other calamity howler ever delivered
a speech with more calamity in it,
then we have failed to see IT.

UNPARALLELED PROSPERITY,

We have received a copy Of the
court docket of Graham county in
this wonderfully prosperous state Of
Kansas, for the September term Of
court, in this year Of marvellous
plenty, and it shows seventy-three
foreclosure suits set for trial, and
fifty-three Confrmstions Of sherifrs
sale. Oh, we are a wonderfully pros
porous people under the benign ad-
ministration Of the republican policy
Of protection, and with our wonder
full wheat crop selling at 40 to As
cents a bushel, our prosperity will
continue to increase upon the line
indicated by the court dockets Of the
state. Mortgage sharks, who take in
the homes Of the people for a song,
leaving an uncancelled debt hanging
over the heads Of the former owners,
being devoid of conscience, can well
afford to talk Of prosperity. But

REID as A SOLDIER.

Not since John j. Ingalls,, who did
his valiant fighting after the war, was
made full.fsdged veteran Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, has any
thing so ridiculous occurred as the
initiation of Whitelaw Reid into the
fold of that order. It may not be
proper to call it an initiation, as the
term is used in the order, but by some
means Mr.. Reid was made a member
Of the order during the Washington
encsmpment last week.
Now the question has arisen among
Grand Army men, where on earth do
they find any excuse for admitting
this new member to the order. There
is a growing suspicion that it was a
political move, and yet il Is very bad
politics, they say. Reid was q war
correspondent and was noted during
q short time for his severe criticism Of
Lincoln, Grant and Sherman. In some
cases this criticism reached the point
of villifcation. 1t is said now that he
served as an aide on some generals
staff, but it seems that important part
of history was left out of the official
war records. He himself does not
claim to have been a private, and the
generals whose staff he claims to have
been on are all dead.
So, in looking at these two remark
able cases we find that Reid's record
does not compare with that Of ingalls,,
except in point Of gall. While COM
rade Ingalls, was prosecuting soldiers
during the wary for foraging chick
ems and sweet potatoes, comrsde Reid
was sneaking around the camp mis-
representing the actions Of union gen.
erals to the best Of his ability. And
while Comrade Ingalls, was gallantly
skinning rebels (some years behind
the war; COmrade Reid was making
a brilliant war record helping to kill
of Horace Greeley and fighting the
typographical union and other labor
organizations.
And such political ShySters are
forced into the Grand Army Of the
Republic in order to catch the votes
of members Of that organization.

The Topeka ADVOCATE retrscts tho vil-
lsinOus lie it told about bon. j. R. Burton
being an embezzler Of /. o. o. E. funds
and states that he was never a member of
the order.-Hutchinson News.
But the advocate does not retract
the villsinous truth disclosed by the
court records of this county that ].
R. Burton was the paid attorney Of
bogus insurance company while a
member Of the Legislature, and that
he was paid money to influence leg
islstiOn."

The republican committee Of the
Seventh district has challenged Jerry
Simpson for a series Of joint discus
sions with their unsophisticated young
sspirant, Chester Long. "This," says
the Kansas City Journal "to any one
acquainted With Jerry's style Of de-
batting, is very bold thing to do"
Then the Journal goes on to say that
while Long is the more scholarly Of
the two men, he might not be any
nearer able to hold out against Jer-
rvs amusing style" than Col. Hal
Lowell was. Yes, indeed il is q bold
thing TO do, neighbor. Did you ever
hear Jerry set forth and illustrate
and illuminate the Peoples party
doctrinesi And did you happen to

to public ridicule such fellows as
Funston, Of Kansas, and Taylor Of

THE DOCTRINES OF TIE PEOPLES
PARTY,


party should abandon the sub-tress'
ury scheme and the doctrine Of fiat
money. It's srudite editors have been
looking over the ADVOCATE Of last
week and have found no reference TO
these fundamental doctrines. If they
had turned to the platform which is
kept as standing matter in every issue,
they would have found these doc
trines in all their pristine glory and
still possessing the full vigor and en-
ergy of immortal youth. Because
the ADVOCATE does not waste columns
every week in the reiterstion of srgu-
ments which no attempt has been
made to answer, the Capital would
convey to it's deluded readers the
idea that these doctrines have been
abandoned. To relieve somewhat
the soreness of the official state organ
upon this subject, we call attention in
another column to former practice
of the government Of loaning money
to the people of the state Of New
York, and to George 7. Anthony's
connection with the business. Per-
haps the Capital may be induced to
tell how that transaction was hsrmo-
nized with the constitution, and why
a similar transaction would be un-
constitutional now.
Speaking Of the doctrines that have
constituted the platforms Of parties
in former years and that have been
ardently supported by the party
press, we might invite the attention
of the Capital to the republican
platform of 1890, and even to that Of
the present year 1892.
Take for instance the demand in
the republican platform Of 1890 for
the ''free coinage Of silver, q measure
strongly opposed and vigorously de-
nounced by the late democratic ad-
ministrstion, led by ex President
Grover Cleveland" so says the plat
form.
Then there is q demand for ian in
crease of the volume of currency ade-
quate to the growing demands Of
trade; the volume Of such currency
to be regulated by the necessities Of
business"
Also the demand for "the passage
of laws prohibiting alien ownership
of large bodies of land"
Also the demand for laws prohib-
itiDg combines and monopolles, and
especially to prohibit gambling in
grain and other agricultural pro-
ducts"
Also the demand for legislation
prohibiting the employment Of chill
dren in mines, workshops and mer-
camille establishments.
What has become of all the fore
going demands? We have watched
the columns of the Capital closely
and have failed to find any reference
to them. Is the Capital now in
favor of the Stree coinage of silver,
a measure strongly opposed and Wig
orsusly denounced by the late demo-
cratic administration, led by ex-Pres-
