TEE KANSAS ELECTION.


Since the recent election our eyes
have been greeted from day to day
with startling headlines, and double
loaded editorials announcing the glad
tIdings Ito republicans that Kansas
has been redeemed; that the grand
old republican party is again tri-
umphant in the state; that confidence
has been restored; that the credit
Of the state has been established; !;
that the Peoples party has been
routed, horse, foot and drsgoon;
in fact that it has been buried beyond
the hope or possibility Of resurrec-
ton. Such doleful intelligence is
calculated to make the spirits of en-
thuslastic Populists droop; but some
how there has been strange fsmil-
islity running through these head
lines and editorials that led us to re-
feet that somewhere in the course Of
our earthly career we had met with
them before. This reflection was so
impressed upon us that we were
moved to turn back to the files of
these same republican papers of No
vember, 1891. The Newton Repub-
llcsn on the 9Th of. that eventful
month had the following:
Calamityites are saying that if so many
Of the Alliances had not dropped their
regular meetings they would have swept
Kansas again. That let's the secret out.
The farmers were in for helping themselves
but when it came to following a lot Of
Looping political buzzards of into new
party, the Alliance was not to be counted
on.
In the Emporia Republican of the
same date we run across this:
The sweeping defeat Of the Alliance party
Tues day is not only a condemnation Of the
party'S leaders and principles, but it is re-
buke to that party for the course pursued
In the legislature last winter.
And in another editorial we found
this:
One Of the fatal defects of the third party
WHICH has JUST OoLIAPsED IN
KANSAS, was she want Of capable leaders.
The Alliance party was run by
amateurs-rsW men seeking to experiment
upon this great government with their
crude theories, and its wreck last Tuesday
was only matter. Of course result that
ought naturally to have been expected.
The news column of the State
Journal carried the following head
lines:
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-15
BACK AGAIN.

FARMERS RETURN TO THE REPUBLICAN FOLD
IN KANSAS; REPUBLICAN VICTORIES IN NEAR
LIZ EVERY KANSAS COUNTY; DEMOCRATS RAIL-
LIED TO THE SUPPORT OF REPUBLICANS.
But the Capital, that ever reliable
old veteran republican organ, spoke
with the tongue Of prophetandthe
courage OF a hero. Its news (D column
carried these headlines:
REDEEMED.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-15

licsRs. True Populists were also
disgusted and stayed at home. THIS
is a good year for Populists to learn
q lesson and we hope they have
learned it.
Third-The Populists have not
gone back to the republican party.
The republican vote is not increased
over that of 1891 so as to indicate
any such change; and republican
claims Of victory based upon any such
false pretense are designed only to
deceive people who, for any reason,
do not make a careful examination
of the vote for themselves. In coun-
ties where Populists have failed to
ele ct their ticket, the vote shows that
they have simply stayed at home.
Whatever may have induced them to
do this, such is the fact; and while
the result in this off year is admit
tedly disastrous to the Populist cause,
it does not afford reasonable ground
for all the vain hoasting in which re-
publicsns are indulglng. It simply
shows that the people have way of
expressing their disspproval of GER
tain things in their own party with
out giving their support to a party
which is directly responsible for all
the injustice ana wrong from which
they have been suffering for SO many
years.
Fourth-The returns show large
Populist gains in the cities of the
state. Business and professional
men are awakening to the fact that
their interests are common with the
interests Of the farmers, and that
when the farmers are not prosperous
every other business must languish.
They have been studying the same
questions recently that the farmers
studied IN their Alliances in the
school houses all over the state, and
they are rapidly arriving at the same
as the farmers did. This
is one of the hopeful signs of the
election; and while the stay at-home
vote more than compensated for this
gam, it constitutes a reserve force
that will make its appearance when
ever state and national issues are at
stake.
Fifth-The most gratifying result
of this election is in the fact that the
Australian ballot system has elimi-
mated the merchsntsble vote, and the
republican party is the one to suffer
from this cause. The heelers have
not yet discovered method by which
they can buy a voter and be sure that
he fulflls his contract.
Sixth-The greatest Populist gains
have been in former republican
strongholds. Doniphan county was
one of these counties. This is the
come of Cy Leland and Sol Miller,
and it must be the very bitterness of
wormwood and gall to them to see
that county slipping from their grasp
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-15

short year.
The backbone Of calamity is broken. Such
complete disaster 10 q new party is ire
trieVAble. Anarchy, communism, calamity
and pessimism will never ride the waves
again In Kansas as q reproSCh and humii-
alton TO her people. The dunderheads
elected to represent the state at Washing
ton will blunder through the Fifty. second
congress-, rattling round in the shoes of
their brilliant predecessors and then be re-
tired to utter oblivion.
The defeat Of the party of demagogism
and treason is the salvation Of Kansas. Il
shows that our farmers can be trusted to
think for themselves, that they are con-
vinoed Of the errors Of these pyrotechniOs of
finance which have been shot off every time
a Peoples party statesman opened his
mouth, and that they are satisfied with the
glorious history Of the republican party in
control Of the government.
The state is to be felicitated on this com.
plete and final triumph of reason over hum
bug.
After reading over these gor-
geously displayed headlines and
double loaded editorials we were led
to reflect that Notwithstanding the
farmers had all "gone back to the
republican party" notwithstanding
''such complete disaster to new
party is irretreivable," notwlthstand-
ing anarchy, communism, calamity
and pessimism" were never again
'to ride the waves in Kansas" not
withstsnding the farmers were sat
isfed with the glorious history of the
republican party in control of the
government" Notwithstanding the
felicitstion Of the state on the "coM-
PLETE and FINAL triumph of reason
over humbug," Notwithstanding all
these great and glorious achieve
ments Of the republican party in
1891, the Peoples party elected it's
entire state ticket, the Legislature and
many Of the county tickets in 1892,
and is in actual possession Of the
state government to-day despite the
efforts Of republican heeIers to steal
the election after they failed to carry
it at the ballot box, as they actually
succeeded in doing in 1890. Reflect
ing upon all these facts we perceive
that the startling headlines and the
double-leaded editorials Of 1891 were
all wind, and it came from very foul
stomschs too. History, it is said, re-
pests itself, and the history of 1891
is now being repeated in Kansas.
The same quality of wind is being
belched off from the same foul stom-
schs, and history will repeat itself
again in 1894.
Now dispensing with all OF this rot,
what are the actual facts concerning
this election as disclosed by the re-
turnsG The full returns are not yet
received to enable us to perfect q
tabulated statement this week.
Enough have been received, how
ever, to enable us to make some gen.
eral observations which it will be
found the full returns will sustain.

UNEMPLOYED LABOR.
The County Commissioners Dis
cuss the Subject.

The County Commissioners Dis
cuss the Subject.
Yesterday morning the board of coun-
ty commissioners discussed the labor
problem. ii. 3. Martin appeared be-
fore them and advocated extensive
work on the roads, the same to be paid
for in county warrants, redeemable in
one year, and which would be accepted
in the payment of taxes.
Commissioner Dwyer offered a series
of resolutions embodying Mr.. Martins
views, and asked that they be laid over.
Commissioner COnroy stated that the
county attorney had advised him that it
would be unlawful for the board to
make appropriations for road work this
year in excess of the appropriation. He
said there was some $4,000 yet to be
expended on this work of the apprO pri-
ton. which could be used. He advised
work on the WayZata road, where there
was deep cut to be made that would
employ men with pick and shovel, per-
haps fifty of them. Other country work
was mostly team work, and employed
country labor, where they did not need
the money so badly.
Mr.. Nash stated that he had found
contractors who were willing to take
the WayZata road WORK and pay the men
in cash, then wait for their pay for a
year from date from the county. In his
opinion, that would be the only legal
way they could push the work now.
In the discussion it was revealed that
at the present time the county was en-
tlrelY without funds, and that the bills
of this month could not be paid. The
majority of the commissioners were Of
opinion that the $751; of appropriation
still allowed should be put upon work
where the largest number of men conld
be hired. 1t was also shown that already
the county had at work three crews of
Men on various pieces oil work, where
people were putting in their money and
were willing to wait upon the county
for their money without interest. The
matter was then dropped.
At the afternoon session more road
talk was INDUCED Land it was decided
to advertise for bids for work on the hill
of the road to WayZata, with the under
standing that no money Is to be paid for
the work for one year from beginning
the work. The survey and preliminary
matters will be pushed, so that it is
thought work can be begun on the road
early next week, when fifty men will be
given EMPLOYMENT.

Humane Society Trouble.

The matter of docking horses tails
threatens the peace of the humane So
ciety. John Day Smith, the author of
the famous law upon the subject, insists
that Agent Tatro should enforce the
law. Mr.. Tatro holds that the practice
is not cruel, and there you are. There
is also some trouble over the purchase
of an ambulance for the removal of in
lured animals and over the changing
headquarters to the Lumber Exchange.
1t is expected that when John Day
Smith returns from the q. A. r. Ell
campment there will be music in the air.
The society met yesterday afternoon.
1t was rooster. President John Day
Smith was placed upon the spit. while
Secretary Fontaine, j. NJ. Raft and
Agent Tatro each gave it turn. Vice
President Crowell. who was in the chair,
vainly Strove to stop the performance.
He did not have much backing. The
antl-Snith crowd was in the majority,
and ran the meeting much upon
the Tom Reed plan. the ambu-
lance was ordered paid for; Tatro's sal
airy was ordered paid, the Office of the
society was ordered to be removed to
the old quarters. There was much GRIM
lnatlon and recriminatiOn before all this
was accomplished. but it went just the
same. John Day was charged with
various sorts of misconduct in regard to
the administration of the affairs of the
society. 1t was even suggested that he
wanted to beat the makers of the ambu-
lance out of the price of it.
MIR. FOntaine presented his report
upon the celebrated cowboy race. There
was hot opposition to its presentation
on the part of the Smith faction. but
they were voted down, IA to 6. The
report related chiefly to the financial
side of the attempt to stop the race.
Agent Tatro sailed into President
John Day Smith in gallant style. He
said his salary had been withheld by
Mr.. Smiths direction while lie was
paying the running expenses of the
society. He had been sat upon and
ignored.
AT the August meeting of the society
President Smith was authorized to ap
point delegation to the meeting of the
next month. This action was re-
scinded and the following delegation
was elected: William Cheney, Secre
tary Fontaine, Agent Tatro. G. c.
Jones, G. ii. Pierce, Miss Kate Law
renee, William Jennings, NJ. A. Stevens
and Miss Murdoch. The Smith faction
undertook to prevent this action, but
without avail.
Mr.. Fontaine made lengthy speech.
which was of a highly personal char
acter. He recounted all of President
Smiths shortcomings and "dog-in-the-
manger" conduct that he could think of.
He went through the history of the
troubles OF the society with its chief
officer. Several efforts we're made to
call him down, but they had no effect.
He wound up with motion to remove
the headquarters Of the society to the
place from whence they came and the
meeting adjourned.
John Day, his friends promise, will
be at the next meeting prepared to take
the hides of Messrs. Tatro and Fon-
tame off and hang them on the fence.
1t is very probable that there will be a
full attendance.

IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS

LONDON, Sept. 5.-More than usual
interest conferred today in the honse
OF lords, it being known that the home
rule Dill would be presented. The
hour OF the meeting was O'Clock.
and at that hour several peeresses
were In the gallery, and the space re-
served tor members of tile house of
commons was filled. Fifteen minutes
after the appointed time of meeting
tnere was thin attendance of lords on
the moor of the house, Earl Spencer
1peihg the only peer on the ministerial
Dencn. he. as the first lord of
the admiralty, represented that
oLahcn Oh the government. At half-past
4 the clerk of the house arose and called
the nome rule bill. Lord Spencer was
IeeDiy cheered as he stood mp to move
the DILL to its second reading. He made
a tame speech, barren of original
tnought OF expression. He claimed
I0r the government all honesty
OF intentions in its work
Tor the bill and credited the opposition
with being equally conscientious. He
reviewed at some length the history of
ireland since the union. ALI so-called
remedial measures of the successive
governments, he said, had come
too late to help the country, even
had they not contained radical
defects which would have rendered
them useless early or late. His own
personal experience satisfied him that
home rule was the only possible solu-
ton OF the Irish question. After dwell
ing upon the beneficient results
10 be expected from several
provisions of the bill, Earl Spen-
Ger closed with the declaration
that the Gladstonian plan of home rule
was calculated to satisfy all aspirations
OF Ireland to self-government. The
Duke Of Devonshire, Liberal-U nionist,
moved the rejection of the bill. Lord
Spencer made an elaborate speech in
defense of the bill. The Duke of
Devonshire replied at equal length
to Lord Spencer's arguments. He said
that the house of lords, not being a rep
reSentative assembly, and not sharing

would never be accepted by the coun-
try, and declared that it simply eman-
ated from the brain of single man,

THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE HOLDS
SESSION.
NOTHING WAS ACcoMPLIsRED

Lots of Talk, but No Turkey-The
City Warrant Plan Pronounced
1llegal-Mayor Eustis Says He
Can't Find Anybody Who
Wants Work-Mrs. Valesh's
Views
The committee appointed by the city
council to devise ways and means
whereby men out of work might be en-
ployed held a meeting yesterday. 1t
was ascertained that there is very little
money on hand available for this pur-
pose. AS to the matter of issuing war
rants for payment for such work, City
Attorney Simpson reported that there
was 10 authority in the charter for such
action, and that such warrants would be
illegal.
Messrs. Eidness, Malone and Martin
made addresses In behalf of the work.
ingmen, strongly advocating some ac-
ton on the part of the authorities.
Mayor Eustis wanted to know how
many men, in the opinion of these gen.
tlemen. were in the city out of work.
Mr.. Martin placed the number at
from 5000 to 1000.
To this the mayor replied that himself
and assistants had been unable to find
sufficient number of men in the city
out OF work to fill the orders which he
had received from the country. He
said he had sent out 500 men, and had
orders for as many more, but could not
fill them.
Aid IDuanbutt raoortod +bo+ - l,;o
ward, had it not been for the recent
ire, there would have been less num-
Der of men out of work than there had
been at any previous time for years.
Mrs. Valesh addressed the committee.
expressing her qualification at what
had been accomplished. She said she
realized the difficulties i'll the way, and
suggested as practical step the extern
sion of the relief committee work, by
taking it from the board of charities
and from the poor department and put
ting it in the hands of representative
men, and with a representation from
canvass of the city in order that the
actual number of men out of work
might be ascertained.
City Attorney Simpson thought that
the canvass should be made by the
board Of corrections and charities, and
that application should be made to
them.
Mrs. Valesh said the objection to this
was that many needy people would not
apply to the Door department. She
plead for canvass, and said 1t should
be done by the city, or labor would de-
mand special session of the legislature
to consider the matter.
The matter was discussed for more
hnF lD efx,r O.i
Journed without taking definite action.
The understanding is that the commit
tee will meet the representatives O for
ganiZed labor for further considera-
ton of the question, at any time the
latter may desire.
