Ingalls, served as Senator eighteen years,

which, had the people Of Kansas willed
1t, he would now be on the road to
twenty-four years continued service as
Senator.
Had Senator Plumb lived till March 4,
1895, he would have had eighteen years,
service on the term that was entered
upon in the statehood of Kansas, by
James H. Lane, who served little more
than five years and then terminated his
career. Lane and Plumb have died
clothed with the Senatorial harness, and
between these two men, from July 1866,
to December, 1891, there have been, as
Senators, Edmund G.. Ross, Alexander
Caldwell, Robert Crozier, and James M.
Harvey.
Samuel G. Pomeroy served form April,
1861, to March 4, 1878, and died in Aug

THE REAL CAUSE OF MONOPOLY AND THE
REMEDY.


To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE:
Even the dullest minds perceive that
great conflict is pending between the
producers and the capitalists.
Organized capital has for years be-
sieged every Legislative body for special
privileges, and has succeeded, with the
help of q corrupt press and time-serving
politicians, to formulate public opinion,
so as to make such legalized robbery
possible.
AS result, we find in country of un-
surpassed natural resources, inhabited by
q people Of high intelligence, great &C
tivity, Ingenious in inventing and using
labor saving machinery, producing by
their labor an abundance Of everything
conducive to mans wants, who are often
unable to obtain the very necessities Of
life.
Yes, in this land of plenty, where
statesmen wisely and learnedly talk Of
overproduction, we find thousands starv
ing every year. Millions are suffering
for food, clothing and shelter; bank
ruptcies, mortgage foreclosures, povery,
ignorance, crime, insanity and suicides
increasing at q fearful rate.
There is large amount of literature
in existence showing bow, through the
various monopolies, the producers are
robbed Of the fruit Of their labor, there
by bringing about the existing condi-
tions.
1t is not my object now to enter or
that subject. 1 will only state that the
money system by which few have the
privilege of obtaining money at pei
cent. to relosn at from eight to thirty-sil
times that amount, and what is more
perniclous yet, have also the power O.
increasing or decreasing the amount Ii
circulation, is one of the means of rob
bing labor.
Another very effective method is per
mittlng railroad companies the privileg'
of charging ''all the traffic will bear" ant
drawing interest upon fictitious debts anC
dividends upon watered stock. Tn,
monopolization of land, especially Ii
cities and mines and forest, Is anothe
factor.
Again, through tariff laws free compe
titlon Is arrested, and combines to estab
lIsh artificial prices are fostered. Througl

the agitation OF the reform press ana re-
form speakers, and especially through
the meetings Of the Farmers Alliance
and the knights of Labor, great progress
has been made in educating the people
on economic questions. This work must
and will be continued. My investigation,
however, Is directed towards finding the
deeper cause of existing conditions.
Why is it that people who pride
themselves on their intelligence, who
have form of government which recog-
nizes all men as having equal rights;
people who elect their law makers, as
we'll as those who execute the laws, per
mitted existing abuses to be established!
Should it after all be true that the COM
mon people could not be trusted? Was
Hamilton right in distrusting the ability
Of the people to govern themselves, and
jefferson mistaken In his unbounded
faith in the people?
After a century Of experience that
question is waiting to be answered. ltap-
pears that certain fundamental truths
which have been overlooked must be
brought out and more generally accepted
before this nation is really capable Of
self-government. 1t must be evident to
the most casual observer that the monOp-
olles which have been fastened upon the
people have their root in an undue desire
to make money. Men will always strive
for that which they desire most, or, In
other words, the strongest desire becomes
the source of action; the most powerful
motive shapes the conduct Of the man.
Our desires exist first in thought; when
they become strong and persistent they
result in the action proportioned to the
intensity and depth of the desire. Has
money making not become the ideal, the
God of the American people? Is it not
a fact that public sentiment is 80 corrupt
ed with the alteration of wealth that it
will cOndOne the perpetratiOn of the
most disreputable acts as long as the per-
petratOrs are successful. Have there not
been, and are there not now, men hold
ing positions of high public trust and
honor ~ho are known to have repeatedly
violated every principle of honesty and
truthfulness? Thought is the power
that moves the world, that shapes the
destinies Of the individual as well as the
nations. My hopes of success for the
purest reform movement rest not on the
fact that the many being robbed by the
few, begin to realize 1t, and organize to
resist. No. That, If successful, would
surely result in giving another class an
advantage to oppress. But observe that
there is a strong current of true and gen.
uine religion In the uprising OF the peo
pie, an honest, sincere desire to establish
lust relations between man and man;
perception of the common fstherhooc
Of God and the brotherhood OF man. II
this thought that God created all mer
equal, that we are all linked together by
a common origin and common destiny
, that our highest duty is expressed in thu
, words, "Love your fellowmen," takei
q possession of the people, and they go K
work to reconstruct government in bar
mony with that principle, there will b

the form or brave, honest and. honorable
Senator, steadfast in friendship, loyal to his
convictions, Jealous, fearless and faithful
in the fulfillment of trust, public and priv
ate, and the song of joy and gladness that
was rising to our lips belonging to this hap
py season is hushed as we heard the wall Of
the whole people from the broad plains OF
Kansas, joining with the sobs Of the wife
who has been widowed and the children who
have been made fatherless as they cit shroud-

a leader and friend Of his whole people.
RESOLUTIONS ADPOTED TO THE MEMORY
OF THE DEPARTED SENATOR.
A meeting was held last evening at
Monument Hall, corner of Second street
and Pennsylvanis avenue, of Kansans at
Washington, under the auspices of the
Kansas Republican Association at Wash
lngton, Deputy Second Auditor Of the
Treasury J. II. franklin, late of Russell
county, Kansas, president, to render
tribute to the departed worth, and to
cherish the memory of the late Kansas
Senator. Hon. Bishop W. Perkins,
Albert Griffin and Frederick A. Stecks
were committee who reported series
of resolutions that were adopted by q
rising vote. TheSSresolutions testified to
the loss that the nation and the Republi-
can party had suffered in the death of
Senator Plumb, and declared that: "ln
his death the people Of Kansas have sus-
tanned an irreparable loss, for rare in
deed are the men who combine In one
person rugged honesty, great ability and
marvellous industry In 80 marked a de-
gree as did the loved and honored states
man whose untimely death we 80 sim
cerely mourn"
The most interesting speeches that
were made were those of Colonel Richard
j. Hinton and Hon. Isaac Sharp.
The Kansas "reminiscences that these
speakers presented to their audiences
bearing upon the early life and acts Of
this energetic man, dated back to pc.
riod of nearly thirty-six years. This
history 30 succinctly stated by Messrs
Hinton and Sharp, would most ttly fine
place In the annals of the Kansas His
torical Society, of which Hon. Franklin
G. Adams Is 30 faithful and Jealous
custodian, as its honOred and worthy sec
retary. AS the story goes, "history Ii
philosophy teaching by example," the
incidents of that April day Of 1856 a
Leavenworth, Kansas, In which Preston
B. Plumb, Nicholas V. Smith and Ham
ilton P. johnson were conspicuous actor
In public and private, might, with tn,
greatest propriety, be be jotted In

Eyster-Ambler.


The Episcopal Church at this place
was the scene. Wednesday night, OF
one of the most brilliant social func-
lions of this season, the marriage OF
Miss Annie Jaquelin Amber to Mr.
George S. Eyster of Halltown.
The church was full to oyerfiowing
with interested spectators. Within
the magic white ribbon were gathered
the friends of the bride and groom
in evening dress, adding much to
the brightness of the scene. The
chancel was beautifully decorated
with hydrangeas, palms, training
vines and pot flowers in profusion.
From the centre of a graceful arch
of flowers and evergreens swung a
large wedding bell of white flowers,
under which the happy pair stood
during the ceremony. At 8 O'Clock
the bridal party entered the church
to the music of Mendelssohn' march
rendered or the organ by Miss RuhI.
First came the ushers Messrs. Vernon
Simmons, Herbert Alexander, Thos.
Willis and T. p. Lippitt, all of
Charles Town. Then the brides
maids and groomsmen in the follow
ing order misses Hannah Howell and
Mary Sheerer, Messrs. Geo. Il. Light
and B. Davenport Gibson, Misses
Halle Washington and Virginia Luz
cas-, Messrs. Gehr and Frank Amber,
Misses Anna Smith and MiIIie Willis,
Messrs. Stewart and McClanahan.-
Following these came Miss Mamie
Lakeland, the maid of honor, and
then the bride on the arm of her
brother, MI. Arthur Amber. They
were met at the chancel rail by the
groom and his brother Mr.. j. Allison
Eyster, acting as best man. The
service was read by the Rev. Dallas
Tucker.
The bride looked lovely in her long
trained robe of white silk and chiffon,
and becoming bridal veil over a
wreath of maiden hair fern and lily
of the valley. She carried no flowers,
but a spray of lilies on the white
leather prayer hook from which the
service was read.
The bridesmaids wore white fig
ured muslin, with blue ribbons, and
carried boquets of La France roses.
The maid of honor was gouned in
pale blue, and carried Bride roses.
After the ceremony a reception
was given the bridal party by the
Misses Willis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eyster left a little
later for New York, to take
the Cunard steamer Aurania for
a tour of several months in Europe.
Among the friends from a distance
present at the wedding were Mr..
