NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Mrs William G

made his famous declaration:
The grand old republican party, with its
history, itS victories, it's glorious martyrs,
has become a refuge for thieves, railroads
and salary grsbberS, whisky and Indian
rings, and must fall TO pieces from it's own
rottenness.
It was then that he said:
II requires four bushels of grain TO send
one TO market over these very roads 80 gen.
erously provided for in the interest Of the
whole people.
He knew the causes of the depres-
sion resting upon the industries of
the land then, and he has not forgot
ten them now. He is a victim of the
iniquitous policy of which he has
been, for 10 these many years, know
ingly a dishonest spologist.

COMPETENT TESTIMONY.

Certainly no one will question the
sound republicaniSm of the Globe
Democrat, or its competency to tes-
tifV concerning the genuineness OF
republican doctrines and methods.
This is what it says:
Il doesn't matter much what Cleveland
thinks 80 long as he goes on managing pub
lilo affairs according to the methods Of the
man whom he succeeded.
That he does go on managing
public affairs according to the meth
DDS of the man whom he succeeded"
cannot be successfully disputed; and
yet our good Kansas republican edi-
tors would have us believe that all
the business failures that are taking
place, and all the financial difficulties
that are being experienced, are the
result of the application Of democratic

A PROSPERITY WAVE.

BY reference to clipping from the
State Journal of June l, published in
another column, it will be seen that
wave of prosperity struck Major j.
K. Hudson on that date. We have
no disposition to rejoice over the mis-
fortunes Of any one; but when such
men as Major Hudson are the suffer-
ers from the prevailing unfavorable
conditions, it really seems like a
righteous judgment which has fallen
in very appropriate place. Major
Hudson knows as we'll as any man
living that the single standard, gold
bug policy of his party is responsible
for the conditions that have rendered
it impossible for him to meet his OBJ
legations. He is aware of this fact
because away back in 1873, when
calamity howlers were not as plenti-
full as they are to-day, he was en-
gagged with tongue and pen endesvor-
ing to teach the people the causes of
their declining prosperity. 1t was
then that he expressed the wish that
he "had a pen 80 caustic that every
word would scar and burn until men
were awakened to the necessity of

ANOTHER FOOL FAKE.

A paper is being circulated over
the country containing a purported
encyclical of the Pope reciting many
outrages to which the Roman Cstho-
lie church is subject in the United
States, and declaring it in conse-
quence to be 'the duty of the faith
full to exterminste all heretics found
within the jurisdiction of the United
States of America" This general
determination is to take place ''on or
about the feast of IgnatiAs Logala,
in the year of our Lord 1893," when
ever that may be.
The paper containing this impor-
tant encyclical is without date, name
of editor, or publisher, OF place of
publication. This is sufficient to
stamp it as a fraud.
There is q great deal of nonsense
published from time to time about
the great wickedness of the Catholic
church, and it's sinister designs upon
the liberties of the American people.
This in our judgment is pure rot. If
the liberties Of the American people
were IN no more danger from other
causes than they are from the Catho-
lie church of the present day we
might rest in quiet and undisturbed
security; and there is good ground
for belief that the real conspirators
against the liberties of the people are
responsible for the effort to excite
suspicion against the Catholic church
in order to divert attention from
themselves. We advise our readers
to lose no sleep on account of this
encyclical and we furthermore ad-
wise them to keep an eye ON the fell
lows from whom the real danger is
to be spprehended. There need be
no mistake in their identity.

A DIFFERENCE OF TEN YEARS.
Topeka CupituL Nav 23, 1888.

Topeka Capital May 23, 1888:
That free trade is right we claim is proved
by its very name. We do not deny the
right Of congress to regulate commerce.
We do not deny the right of congress TO tax
commerce. We do not deny the right of
congress to prohibit commerce at par
ticular times or in particular articles. But
We do deny the right to prohibit in the in
teress Of a GLASS or a monopolist and we
deny the right to tax for any other purpose
than to provide for the necessities of the
government. We insist that the freedom
contemplated by the Declaration of Inde-
pendenOe and the constitution of the United
States, includes perfect freedom of trade in
the legitimate products of the soil or of hu-
man skill. We have not attained it yet.
We summarize the affirmative argument
for free trade thus:
~ Liberty to traffic where and when we
please is one Of the natural rights of man.
~ Every example of unrestricted traffic
shows that both parties to the trade have
been benefited.
(3) Every example of free commerce be-
tween states has brought with it great social
and political advantages.
(4) The republican party Of this country
is bound by its principles Of union and
liberty to discuss the question on the ground
Of right.

RATS!

Republican editors are making
herculean efforts to shift the respon-
sibillty of the business failures now
Of daily occurrence entirely to demo
cratic shoulders simply because of
their great increase just at the pres
ent time. The Leavenworth Times, of
May 28, in one of its sage editorial
paragraphs, has this to say:
There is feeling that the administration
of Mr.. Cleveland is not safe one. That no
has theories which he is determined to test
though the country may suffer. Add to this,
the fact that his party, new TO the govern
ment now, and composed largely of men
with wild theories, is to shape the financial
policy Of the immediate future, and there
can be no wonder that business men are
trimming their sails for rough seas. We
hope the clouds will roll by without the
threatened storm, but they certainly look
lowering now.
Had MIR. Cleveland made any de-
parture from the policy steadily pur-
sued by his predecessor, there might
be pretext for the charge that the
increase of failures is a consequence
of such departure; but we defy the
Times to point out any indication of
such change. The simple fact is the
influences that have been at work for
years under republican administra-
tion are now eliminating in a fnan-
Clsl crisis that is as unnecessary as 1t |
is disastrous.
True, Mr.. Cleveland might possibly |
have averted the catastrophe if he
had possessed the honesty and the
to do SO, but he could only
have done it by reversing instead of
pursuing the policy of his republican
predecessors. The responsibility can
not be so easily shifted. People are
not only reading, but thinking, in
these days, and they will hold both
the republican and the democratic
parties reponsible for their full
share in their great CRIME against
humanity. They are both sausage
from the same dog" There is no
difference in the flavor.

resolution or the NRGlOnRl B0puOllCAl
League upon the suffrage question
Women who have devoted their 1--we
to agitation of the subject, and win
have met with rebuffs and INSULT
from republican conventions in year
gone by, now applaud this body o.
representative men Of the party fOl
a resolution which is absolutely non
committal and meaningless. To the
conscientious sufragist these things
are very tlresome.
Some of the noted women who
have done much in the past to edu-
cate public sentiment upon this ques-
tion, ana who have seemed to be very
enthusiastic for the political equality
of the sex, are now reported as say
ing that they prefer to remain dis
franchised unless suffrage is granted
by the republican party. Such exhi-
bitions of party bigotry and ldolatry
will have a tendency to weaken the
support that might be concentrated
upon the constitutional amendment in
this state. If it be true that women
who have been prominent in the suf-
frsge movement for years now take
this stand upon the question, it will
prove a great stumbling block in the
march of civilization. To those
women, however, who are broad
minded enough to rise above their
partisan preiudlces and labor for their
own advancement through such in
strumentalities as afford any hope of
success, we would most respectfully
suggest critical examination of this
much glorifed Republican League
resolution. 1t reads as follows:
We recommend TO the favorable consider
alton of the republican clubs of the United
States, AS A MATTER OF EDUCATION,
the question of granting TO the women of
the state and nation the right TO vote at all
elections on the same terms and conditions
ss other citizens.
Does this resolution commit the
league to any policy upon the sub
ject9 Is there anything in it that
would lead one to suspect that the
party platform will contain any dec
laration favorable to equal suffrage7
The question is referred to republi-
can clubs as a matter Of education,
and the republican party, which has
had the question before it for gen.
GRAFTON, might take another genera
tion in this matter of education, if it
were to live that long, and still con-
form to the letter and the spirit of
this resolution. The question in |
which we are interested just now is,
what will the republican women of
Kansas do next year If the party con-
vention fails to declare itself in un-
equivocsl terms upon the subject9
Will they adhere to the doctrine at
tributed to some of the old sgitstors
and prefer to remain disfranchised if |
their enfranchisement cannot come
from their party idol? We shall see.
