After TMantu-Nine years.

FROM the Usage County Chronicle,
Marshall NJ. Murdoch. who has recently
blossomed out as a candidate for governor,
Will be remembered as one of the rustlers of
Usage county in the sixties. In 1858 he came
to Burlingame and under many difficulties
founded the Usage County Chronicle.
As editor of the Chronicle he set about with
his characteristic energy and enterprise to
develop the resources OF the new born state
and to make Usage county the best in the
state. And we may add, parenthetically. that
he has continued to devote his energies, IN
tiringly, from that day 10 this in the interest
OF his adopted state. 1t was as citizen of
this county that he made his war record and
earned his military title. He was made col
onel of the Usage county battalion, and during
the Price raid was in active service.
He has many admirers in Burlingame who
would support him with good deal of enthu-
slasm and who think that he ought to be
governor Of the state he has worked for so
faithfully.
1t is too early to measure the real strength
of any candidate yet, but sure it is that Col.
Murdoch is receiving more attention at present
than any other candidate. He is receiving
favorable comment from leading newspapers
IN every portion OF the state and ii looks as If
he stands an excellent chance of being the
next governor The colonel is not an office
seeker and is not responsible for his candidacy.
He was brought forward by his friends as a
candidate against his protest. 1t is the office
seeking the man and why not make him gov
ernor? He possesses all the requisite qualifi-
cations for a chief executive. He is poet and
resubmissionists TO be sure. but may be ne

GET THE BEHIND NE. SATAN.

Several newspapers Of the state are saying

with the goveruorship. TO be governor of the

If that is so. colonel, you ought to leave
the Republican party and come over to the
Peoples party. The Peoples party loves
the man who says what he thinks, and
thinks what he says. The old Topeka
gang of barnacles have no use for the man
of independence and outspOken conviction.
All the political opinions of the Republi-
can party of Kansas must bear the Topeka
brand or they do not go. be who aspires
to political preferment must trim the rug

of Kansas you must never be so rash as to
volunteer an opinion of your own, but
wait for the political oracle at the state
capital to speak, and then, parrot like, re

as the old crowd sees fit to

may be ambitious of political preferment,
but if so you must sustain the attitude of

You can soar above the self-seeking

The Russian government has ordered
the undertaking of great public works in
order to give employment and wages to
the starving people of that country.
Thousands of acres of forest lands are to
be cleared for cultivation, and highways
and parish roads formed in the distressed
districts. The plan has to commend it
the virtue of affording the beneficiaries
of the government bounty an opportuni-
ty of giving valuable service in return,
and at the same time assist in prevent
ing the recurrence Of the famine by
bringing more land into cultivation. Any
plan for giving the destitute employment
is better than to supply them with even
the plainest necessities while they re-
main idle.

Will Never Go Back on anybody.

From the Ashland Journal
Colonel NJ. VI. Murdoch of the Wichita
EAGLE Is getting the greatest boom for COVER
nor of any man in the state, and the boom IS
daily growing. Of all the candidates yet
mentioned Colonel Murdoch is by long odds
the choice Of the people of southwest Kansas,
and probably of the state at large. Still we do
not see how the colonel can afford to abandon
the position he now holds as editor of the
EAGLE to accept the cares and responsibilities
of any executive Office. The governor Of
state is necessarily many times a mere figure
head, while the editor and manager of great
political newspaper is the power that
to a large degree moulds the laws
which the governor must enforce. Viewed
in this light Col. Murdoch would be stepping
down and not up if he exchanges the editorial
tripod for the gubernatorial chair. In other
words, the fgurehead on the Eagle is worth
more to him and will pay him better than to
put himself in a position where he may be
forced to be figurehead himself. However.f
Col. Murdoch wants to be governor of Kansas,
and the rest OF the boys are willing-which
most of them seem to be-there will be no kick
coming from us. He has done much for west
ern Kansas and we have no fear of his going
back on US in any position in which he may be-
r1lonad

Broad Platform-Big Majority.


We don't know whether to be sorry or glad
that Col. Murdoch is really candidate for
governor. Aside from the fact that we cannot
spare his services from the EAGLE we would like
to see him honored as the chief executive We
like the man. We admore him for his consis-
tent. straight-out fighting qualities and his
energy in whooping up his city and the best
daily paper in Kansas. II Col. Murdoch pos
sesses single qualification it is in being re-
submissionist. But since the people of Kansas
stand in need of his services so much, we feel
like declaring more strongly than ever our
faith in prohibitory legislation, tie Murdoch
on the platform and elect him and bind him by
his oath to enforce the law, and rest assured
that if he accepts he will do his whole duty
according to oath

Side of the Young Crowd.

From the Marion Times.
MurdOck's boom for governor is assuming
colossal proportions and it is getting danger
Gus to stand in the way of the rising tide The
governorship and the EAGLE will be two dis
tinct machines harmonious in having a com
mon head, but one man cannot run both at the
same time. Perhaps the uprising is one of the
inscrutable dispensations of Providence to
retire an old newspaper man, with allure
ments of office on the dubious pretext of
browning him with political honors that are
only too ephemeral, so as to make room for a
younger head on the EAGLE. Give the young
man two or four years lease of the EAGLE
and his, and its worthy progenitor will be
RELOCATED to the shades of private life after
that. We are always on the side of the young
crowd

No Negative strength Here.

From the Latned ChronoscOpe.
Marsh NJ. Murdoch, editor of the Wichita
EAGLE, is said to be in the race for the guber-
material nomination in earnest. The state of
Kansas, regardless of parties, is deeply in
debted to Mr.. Murdoch for his mtiring efforts
in behalf of the advancement and prosperity
of the commonwealth, but there are political
causes which will seriously hamper his capdi-
dacy, and no one probably realizes this more
than Mr.. Murdoch himself. His position on
the resubmission question, as well asshis bitter
antagonism to some Republican measures are
against him, yet he is no doubt in every way
qualified, and should ne be successful he would
make a conscientious executive officer.

DARE THEY DO 1T?

II IS announced that the arrangements
If the railways of Kansas propose TO
ignore the late order and accompanying
recommendations made by the state
hoard of commissioners, wherein that
bodv declared. and only after the fullest
investigation, that the city OF wichita
and other interior Kansas jobbing points,
were Disseminated against in the rate
sheets. on certain class commodities In
favor of Missouri river points. If this
announcement should prove true, and
there seems no reason to question It's
authenticity, the said arrangements are
simply swinging a blazing brand over
mine of dynamite, whose explosion must
land the said corporations in the hands
of receivers, appointed by the courts for
the neopIe. amid the walls and means or
ruined stockholders. The decision re-
ferred to was so plainly just and unde-
-niably correct and equitable, that to
brave its recommendations and man
dates will be to arouse an indignation
which viii as surely crystalize IN the
enactments of the next legislature as
that the sun makes daylight. In that
legislative reaction for self-preservatlon
there will be no party, but Republicans,
Democrats and Alliance. alike, will with
a unanimity and emphasis begotten OF
desperation vote the demand of an out
ragged constituency as nc favoritism,
bribery or other lobby defences can with
stand. Sampson-liko the people, who
make and unmake constitutions, and
who rise superior to the highest tribu-

VIII It is right, and which shows itself so
WIRE klessly defiant, withal.
These interior cities which have been
struggling against such odds in their de-
velopment, did not ask lower freight
rates, and have not asked the railroads
to cripple themselves, or to defraud their
stockholders by working for inadequate
pay. They have simply asked the rail
way arrangements not to discriminate
against them longer in favor of Kansas
City, Missouri. They protest in the
name of legitimate business, as
the EAGLE does in the name of |
the people, that these corporations
which the people have made possible, |
shall not longer, arbitrarily, lay the
whole state of Kansas, with its million
and a quarter of people, and all of its
thousands of diversified interests, under |
tribute to Kansas City. High freight |

Queer, tits true enough, but discrimination |
