HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

An old friend of Judge John Martin
met him on the street and said: Judge,
you are undoubtedly conversant with
the history of the French revolution.
You will remember that the leaders who
first started the plan to guillotine the
king and the mobiles and the rich be-
cause they had property, were after
ward guillotined by the mob which they
started. Robespierre fell victim to the
same knife and his Llood flowed as he
had caused the flowing of the blood of
thousands Of others. The French revo-
luton is being re-enacted in this state
as nearly as TIE difference of the two
countries and the difference between the
eighteenth and the nineteenth century
will permit. Judge, all that you ever
was politically was from the hands Of
the republican party; and you are more
responsible than any other one man for
the fact that the element which COM
posed the murderers in the city of Paris
during the French revolution has now
control in Of this state. That element
has already turned upon you, one Of its
leaders, and guillotined you by sitting
down upon your aspirations for United
States senator, thus aping the French
revolution. History repeats itself in
Kansas now" The judge turned white,
bowed and walked away, as did his
friend.

swords and battle axes, our empty
treasure boxes and untenanted rows Of
iron letters for the white ankles of fair
British girls. We had rowed on like
this, cursing Biorn and Inge and Hakon-
son all the morning, and had seen
nothing but the blackened ruins OF a
few villages upon the hillside, when,
slipping by one lonely promontory. we
saw upon the rocks q mad old
woman, sad-eyed and lean and
pinched, sole remnant of some
pillaged English hamlet, who
knew US for what we were
upon the instant as she gathered her
poor harvest on the beach and leaped
upon q rock and cursed us fiercely out
of the black reservoir of her despair
and hatred, cursed us for pirates and
tyrants, asked where were the two-yel-
low-haired girls We stole ten years ago,
where her two tall sons, where her hus-
band and her kin, and tossed her tangled
locks upon the wind and yelled and
cried until, as we crept by, Tnoralf Of

Hours Were Too Short.

One day not long since an old lady
entered the City Hall in search of the
water-works Office, says the Rochester
Herald. A citizen who CHANGED to
be leaving the building encountered
the woman in the lower corridor and
directed her to the floor above. She
assembled the stairway and made
straight for the City Attorneys Office.
In the outer room she met one of Mr..
Kiehel's gentlemanly and urbane as
sistants, and the following dialogue
ensued:
as this the water-works Officer"
mo, ma'am; that is right across
the hall
as the Office open now?"
"Yes, but it will close in about a
minute" said the polite officer,
glancing at his timepece.
SWELL, then, I'll come again in the
morning. Say, young man, what's
the matter with the reservoirs?"
Il didn't know they were out of
order; supposed they were full of
water"
"Then why is it we don't get any
water in our house?"
I'm sure don't know"
do you think they could tell me at
the water-works Officer"
They might give you some inform
alton"
what time does the Office open in
the morning."
Ten o'clock"
@What, and closes at 80"
and closes at 3, ma'am."
well, it's no wonder we don't have
any water IL the Office isn't open any
longer than that"

and thus l laughed and chatted with
them. and while I finished my bowl
learned of those incautious women

inland; that the women and chill
dren from all round came in and
the palisades were closed at nightfall,
and saving some halt-dozen herders
there were to be no men in the burgh
that night. I learnt that their master
had fair daughter. though I saw her

maidens in the turret; that the master
was wondrous rich. but old and feeble,

could not do otherwise than condemn

ward. 1t consists of . few electoral
votes wrested from the republicans,
which arc of no use to them, and for
which Grover Cleveland does not thank
them. These, and the loss of their own
self-respect, are all they have to show
for the sacrifice made. Now. at the time
when they had helped to obtain share
OF the spoils they hoped to win. their
allies cast them of and tell them they
have no further use for them. Con-
gresham Simpsons notice to Chairman
Jones that henceforth the two organiza-
tons must be strangers and enemies is
clear and distinct, and undoubtedly ex-
presses the feelings of the populists.
The democrats ought to be, and no
doubt are, heartily ashamed of them
selves for the course they have pursued.
and the outcome should be lesson to
them. 1t does no. pay to barter prin-
ciple for spoils especially to a party
that cannot DO trusted to deliver the
spOils.

How KngOre Secured Attention.

Representative Kilgore was this
hero, on recent Friday evening dur
ing the night session, of a mute but
expressive scene. Mr.. Kilgore had a
little bill in which his interest was
fully aroused. and in its behalf he
asked the gentleman in the chair
who, it happened, was not Mr.. Crisp
for how long time he might &C.
cupy the attention Of the House. The
Speaker pro tenn. gave Mr.. Kilgore
unusually good measure. telling him
to 60 ahead, as an hour was at his
disposal. The Speaker turned his at
tention elsewhere, and the House
hummed away in its usual converse
tional fOrtissimo. Then followed a
sudden silence, so out of the usual
House style that the temporary chair
man was astonished into elevating
his eyes, only to find the members
looking at Mr.. Kilgore in silent
amusement. There stood Mr.. XII
gore saving the air with his arms
and performing all the gestures in
the most complete oratorical text
book. His lips opened and shut as
if yards of Congressional Record
copy were issuing from between them.
Mr.. KilgOre was extremely animated,
but not a sodnd was heard.
What is the matter, Mr.. Kilgore?"
demanded the Speaker. Il told the
gentleman from Texas he could have
an hour to address the House on this
measure"
II know it, Mr.. Speaker" smiled
Kilgore, "but 1 thought the House
would prefer a pantomine speech and
it wouldn't disturb their converse.
tion." The Speaker, according to
Kate Fields Washington, had to i'm
pair his dignity with smile, but
evidently Kilgore knew best what
the House appreciated, for when the
vote was taken there was not single
dissent.

LEWELLINC'S DEFENSE.

The governor of Kansas has deemed
it necessary to make public statement
iustifying his position. The defense
offered by Mr. Lewelling is in itself an
evidence that he is in the wrong. and
his labored efforts to prove that he is
acting in an utterly disinterested man
ner show that he feels unsafe in his pO-
sition.
Boiled down, his statement is based
upon personal feeling, without regard
to law or right. Starting from premise
that he is not the judge of eligibility Of
members of the house, he determines
that the republican majority is illegal
and the republican members were not
elected. In other words, he sits as
Judge of election and determines the
case from a bixsed and partisan stand
point, even after he claims that he is
not supposed to be able to tell who is
or is not legally member of the house.
He Gays that he conceived for good
and satisfactory reasons the legality OF
the Dunsmore house, and for these per-
sonal reasons, which he does not deem
public property, lie recognizes the pop
ulist house to the exclusion OF the legal
majority of republicans. Instead of be-
ing governor of the state of Kansas, he
has placed himself on record as being
the tool of party, and allows himself to
be used by that party to 60 revolu-
tionary act. The returns show that
there is legal majority of republicans
in the lower house of the legislature. If
Lewelling cannot 60 behind the returns
he has no right to say that the populist
organization is the right one unless he
does so solely for the purpose OF defeat
ing the will of the people whom he is
supposed to serve.
Taken as a whole. the so-cslled state
ment of position is a weak and puerile
document. and will bring neither credit
nor renown to the man who assumes to
be dictator in the crisis that has come
to the people of Kansas.

REBELLION AND ANARCHY.

Hon. E. W. Hoch, speaker pro tenn
Of the house, is reported as saying:
I've are right and We will win. To
doubt is to doubt the perpetuity Of our
government. There will be no compro-
mise of our rights; no CONCESSIONS in
volving surrender of any position we
have taken. We contend not for party
but for country. We will fight It out
on this line if it takes the entire ses-
sion.
1.-THE battle being waged by the re-
publicans of the house." continued Mr..
Hoch, sis not for mere republican su-
premacy. The populists have elected
the state officers and state senate; I
have all along regretted that the entire
responsibility Of state government, leg
islative as we'll as executive, was not i'm
posed upon them in the election Of a
majority of the members of the house.
In this, many, 1 believe most Of our
members agree with me. The contest,
therefore, is not, I repeat, for republi-
can control of the house. 1t is q con-
test for the supremacy Of constitutional
and statutory law, and particularly for
the maintenance of the basic principle
of our government right OF the
majority to rule This fundamental
principle is as much involved in a ma
jority of one as in a majority of mill
ION. Our whole governmental fabric is
involved in the issue. Let not this
great central fact in the controversy be
obscured by any petty, partisan side
issues.
"The legal methods Of identifying the
legislative majority are clearly defined
in the law" said Mr.. Hoch. with the
exception OF the provision for deciding
ties, they are generally wise and good.
These methods may sometimes work
hardships. as do all human enactments,
but have yet to find member on the
other side willing to substitute for these
enactments law authorizing Zen Rich
or any other so-called chief clerk to
remedy alleged wrongs of this kind by
electing ten or more men with lead
pencil. This new reform will hardly be
embodied in a bill, even by one Of its
RI08LcSU UeuouCl6Ilc o-uOV ONCA VAO
gentleman who was defeated by over
1000 votes, but who was solemnly
sworn in as a member Of the house be-
fore his republican opponent was un-
seated, by Mr.. Rich's lead pencil.
$50 long as it was supposed that the
opposition would cast sixty-two votes
and the republicans sixty-three, the de-
Gliding vote having been obtained by
lottery in a tie case, there was some lit
tie excuse for populist indisposition to
said Mr.. Hoch, but since
four of these supposed opposition votes
have been continuously voting with the
giving the latter sixty
seven votes, or nine majority, the action
of the fifty-eight populists in resisting
the rule Of a majority SO decisive as this
has been is absolutely indefensible. No
fair and candid man can defend this
conduct. 1t is rebellion.
It is anarchy"

FIRST ON EARTH.
From the Topeka Capital.

From the Topeka Capital.
The first ten DAYS Of ''the first peo-
pies party government on earth" have
been full to the brim and running over
with reform" The governor has been
guilty OF treason and malfeasance in
Office. The senate has defed the statute
commanding a joint session. The adju-
tant general has established new tyr
amy in the form OF deputy adjutants
general" for which he is liable to GRIM
inal prosecution. The clerk OF the house
recognized by the senate and governor
has been guilty of forgery. and the re-
form Lawmakers have been exclusively
occupied in violating law. At this rate,
two years of the first peoples party
government on earth" will leave this
state what it was generation ago-the
Great American De=ers.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE FIRM.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
There is but one way for the republi.
cans to meet the anarchists who are
endeavoring, in defiance of the constitu-
ton of Kansas, to usurp Legislative au-
thority. They should be met with firm,
uncompromising resistance. The repub-
licans of the Kansas house of represen-
tatives should make no bargain. They
should enter into no arrangement abat-
ing their lawful claims. The would-be
usurpers will not dare to go to extrem-
tiles. They will not dare to do violence
to the men who have been legally elect
ed to the legislature.
Reason must eventually assert its
sway, and the influence of aroused pub
lie sentiment must be irresistible. Kan
sas overcame great danger when it
drove slavery from its borders. The
present attempt to establish usurpation
at the state capital is not less danger
GUS to liberty than the attempt Of the
shareholders to add Kansas to their do
main. 1t is danger which can be over
come only by stern maintenance of the
legal rights of the legal house of repre-
sentatives.

THE DISGRACE OF KANSAS.

From the New York Tribune.
The intelligent people of Kansas must
of necessity feel that they are disgraced
by the partial victory Of such set Of
revolutiohists. 1t will be necessary for
the people to deal strenuously with this
uprising of mob, in order to restore in
the state respect for the law and for the
peoples will. 1t may take some years,
and possibly it may cause heavy losses,
before conservative and iaw-abiding citi-
zens can come together in sufficient
force, but in some form there will have
to be such concentration Of good citi-
zens, and those who have defied the
laws will have to be turned out Of place
and punished before the state can wipe
out the disgrace.
