GROVE AND HIS DUsKY QUEEN.

The spectacle of G. Rover Cleveland
dancing jig on the mizzenmast of his
own petard is both edifyIng and crafty
ing to the public, but who can devise
the means for letting him down? Four
hundred pounds Of adipose tissue, tumbl
ing toward the center OF gravity would
be hard on a square rod of vegetation,
but he would be more tractable. Il
begins to look as if Grover Cleveland
had met his Waterloo in the Hawaiian
matter So far as heard from no one
save Mr.. Blount and his secretary of
state have adopted his view of our obi
cation TO the duslly queen. Ii this pro-
portion is maintained till the meeting Of
congress we may witness The miracle Of
his having modified his purpose. but let
us not be too sanguine. We can surren-
der, if necessary, more gracefully il we
temper our protests with silence. In the
language of Mrs Jefferson Davis Don't
irrltate the president.

HON. JEREMIAH RUsK DEAD.

The death of Hon jeremiah Rusk. ex-
secretary of agriculture, which occurred
at his home IN Niroqua, Wis. Tuesday
night. will carry sadness to the hearts
of all true Americans. The United
States, and particularly the agricultural
devoted friend than Jerre Rusk, In
everything pertaining to welfare and
advancement of the country's best inter-
eSts he has always and in every way
possible manifested the liveliest concern.
Although not the first to hold the title
OF secretary of agriculture, vet the or
gaalzatiou Of that most important de-
partment of government from a mere
bureau in another department devolved
upon him, and so We'll did he accomplish
the task that the department of agricul-
ture at once took rank as one of the
most prominent. as it is one of the most
important. Secretary Rusk's labors.
after he had perfected the organization
OF the department, were at once directed
to the extension of our foreign trade in
agricultural products under the provis-
ions of the reciprocity laws just previ-
ouSiy enacted, and under his wise and
aggressive policy our surplus products
found their way back into sew

from which they had been excluded.
Especially Is this true OF our live stock

IN THE CLUTCHES OF THE ENEMY.

The fate of Window. no less than the
continued vehement protests of the
great body of American people, are I'M
beeded and all count for naught by
Mr. John G.. Carlisle, Mr. Cieveland's
secretary OF the treasury, whom Tuesday
night found partaking Of banquet in
New York set up by the chamber of
commerce of that city. The pull that
the various monetary and commercial
concerns, whose fountain head is Wall
street, have on each succeeding United
States treasurer is mcomprehensible
The government owes Wall street not
anything, nor can all the malign aid
selfish interests there centered, combin-
ed, increase the embarrassment of the
United States nor their peoples. Mr..
Cleve!and'S ''object lesson" which was
Matched in that nest, would have pros
trated every individual combine and
corporate trust of that street, but for the
Illegal subterfuge of clearing house GER
tificates resorted to save themselves,
and not to save the country. Having
become their guest. as had his predeces-
sors, TO these did Mr.. Carlisle address
himself on Tuesday evening, and in the
same old threadbare whine which
was expected of him. to-wit: 'the
United States, alone, cannot hope TO
maintain silver as money on a
parity with gold" This is the doc
trine of that street, the sentiment
which 1t applauds. and the policy 10
which they pledged Mr.. Cleveland when
the Van Aliens, Roosevelts and their
hosts put UP their gold to elect him pres
ident.
As for M Carlisle. as Mr.. Clevelands
Single-standard treasurer. he forgets the
DAYS of honest conviction when he was
a free kentucky Democrat advocating
the value and necessity of American
silver as a metal for money.

a STITCH IN TIME.

The Lawrence World comes out with
Republican tickle: which it says has
been agreed upon by the fixers for next
year. We know Of one Republican
paper that can neither be coaxed, buliied
or whipped into conserving TO the nomi-
nation of any such ticket. The old-time
gang should take notice that the Repub-
lican party Of Kansas is not yet entirely
out OF the woods. and they, also, might
just as well understand now as later on
that 100 much insistence on their part
will not only tend to revive the late Re-
bellion, but may bring on sweeping
Revolution. 1t is probably too early to
kick, especially as the image may only
be an affair of straw, but if such Repub-
lican editors as have the courage of their
convictions will speak IN time, and in
unmistakable language, the Republican
party will not only be restored in Kan
sas but the state will gain such position
by the end OF the liquidation period as
will command again the confidence of
the world, together with all the money
her people shall need for the develop
ment of her various interests and bust
ness affairs.

JOHN INGALLS, AGAIN.

Mr.. PETERS predecessor says that ''the
Populist movement as political force
has expired. It's history may be written
now" Mr.. ingalls, admits that there are
injusiices and inequalities in modern So
ciety which provoked the PopuIist move
ment But as party the Popullsts
failed because their leaders were incapa-
bic and insincere, and their remedies
were absurd and untenable. He believes
that the movement has done good by
showing that there are evils that must
be looked after 10y some great political
party. He compares it to the old Gar
risonian abolition movement, out OF
which in time, when shaped and con-
trolled by intelligence and true patriot
ism, came the glorious Republican party.

party to his scheme for humiliating ex-
President Harrison. \ degree OF courtesy
is due his office in ali matters involving
national honor. but the plain people of
the country have 10 part in the personal
differences between these distingu she'd

the charge of taking undue liberty with
a public trust for the attainment of
private ends. The least that could be
said is that it was in bad taste TO laundry
his linen in n state paper.
