Mrs. May Wright Sewall gave q very in

Mrs. Sewails subject was THE Kindergar-
tens of Berlin" While in Germany recent
ly she made q special study of all educa-
tional subjects and institutions of all
kinds and grades. and is particularly

was considered extempore. and was
more like friendly chat than O

one which thoroughly appreciated the

THE ANARCHIST PARTY IN KANSAS.


The announcement that the Populist
leaders in Kansas will not be governed
by decision of the Supreme Court of
the State relative to the body which is
the legal House will not surprise any in
telliRent person who has followed the
course of these reckless men. They or
ganized House out of minority of the
members-elect who held the certificates
OF membership recognized by the Con-
stitution and specified by the laws. At
the outset sixty-four citizens, constitut-
ing a majority of the House, appeared
with the certificates of election which
are always recognized as the only cre-
dentials upon which House of Repre-
sentatives can be organized. The An
archist official whose duty it is, in Kan
sas, to call the roll of those whom the
canvassing board found to be elected
ignored not only the statute, but the
Constitution, and practically made Il
new list. The men holding sixty five
credentials organized House. and that
is the constitutional House of Represent
atives in Kansas. For weeks the
Anarchist leaders have prevented the
carrying of the constitutionality of
the two bodies claiming to be the Kan
sas House to the Supreme Court, but
now. when the question has come to the
court, before its decision, the Anarchist
leaders declare they will not submit to
the decree of the court, and have voted
to remove the capital from Topeka to
an interior hamlet. In other words,
these reckless leaders have destroyed
constitutional government in Kansas
rule in utter defiance of Constitution
and law. So long as there was reason
to believe that the POpulist leaders
would submit to the decision of the
Supreme Court there was ground to
hope for the restoration of constitutional
methods. Now, if these POpulists turn
Anarchists, as they threaten to do and
as the Populist Senate has already taken
steps to do, the State government of
Kansas will be destroyed and anarchy
and violence will prevail.
No one can yet foresee the end of the
confusion into which the Populist lead
ers have plunged the State of Kansas,
for. having trampled the Constitution
under foot, destroyed the popular
branch of the Legislature and defied
the Supreme Court, no one knows where
they will stop, or to what extremities
they will proceed. 1t may be said that
another election will adjust the diff
culties. Can any one believe that the
men who have already ignored the will
of the people and set aside the Consti-
tuition will fairly count and return votes7
The condition Of affairs in Kansas
should be warning to all law abiding
people. The so-called Populist leaders
are infected with a reckless spirit of
anarchy. They care not for cOnstitu-
tions, Jaws and the orderly methods of
government. Give them hold in one
branch of government aud they will
destroy the whole fabric, as they have
done in Kansas. These leaders are not
Popullsts or Socialists; they are out and
out Anarchists. By that name let the
organization be known in future.

No reporter seems to have picked up
the fact that at n late hour in the ban
auet of the Loyal Legion, Wednesday
evening, Senator Boyd, Republican,
placed Colonel Mclean. the Vigo county
Senator. in nomination for the office of
Commissioner of Pensions, and that the
nomination was carried unanimously,
after Senator Magee was unable to OBJ
tain the consent of General McGinnis to
have his name substituted. 1t is under
stood that General McGinnis desires
that Judge Gresham may monopolize
the cOat-turning business. The Demo-
cratic Senator from Cass should seek
some other men than the thorough
going Republicans of the McGinnis type
for victims to share with Judge Gresham
the perfidy he now monopolizes.

THE New York World says that Kan
sas will have a Democratic Senator in
any event" That is true, for the rea-
eonthat in order to save Kansas from
anarchy eighty odd Republicans in the
Kansas Legislature have periodically
set aside partyism in order to secure the
cooperation of the straiRhtout Demo-
Gratis and put Democrat in nomination
for Senator. At the same time it must
not be forgotten that Kansas is in the
present disturbed condition because a
majority of the Democratic leaders led
the mass of their party to vote the Pop
ulist ticket. giving the votes which
made LewelliDg Governor.

WARNING TO NATURAL-eAs CONSUMERS.

Never until yesterday did the Journal
learn the full meaning of the pending
gas legislation in the Assembly. and it
does not believe that as many as a
dozen members of that body fully COM
prehend it, for an understanding of the
intentions of the gas companies is nec-
essTy to this comprehension. Readers
of the newspapers are familiar with the
varying stories of an effort to form gil
gantic natural-gas monopoly or trust in
Indiana. Be these true or not, it is GER
tain that all the big companies now in
the field have combined to the extent
that they are working together to get
these bills through. The latest infor-
nation about this alleged trust or pool
is that it's formation is largely depend
emit upon the success of this legislation,
that it hopes 90 shut competition out of
the field, and to be in position to di-
vert gas to such cities and towns as are
willing to pay the highest rates.
Possibly nobody but mind-reader
can verify this story as to the purpose
of the gas magnates, but. if true, note
what a flood of light it throws upon the
meaning of the pending bills and upon
the mystery of how, in the hope of get
ting them through. the companies can
afford lobby that costs not less than
$500 per day. Ono of the bills gives
them the right to use four hundred
dc in ho 10
shut off consumers when there is dan
ger of deficiency. In the light of an
intention to shut off whole towns where
rates are low it becomes plain that they
do not care how much fol-de-rOl about
shutting off factories first and domes-
tic consumers last" is thrown in. The
other bill makes such regulations about
laying pipelines and procuring rights
of way that it would be very difficult, if
not impossible, for new company to
start anv
If this gigantic combine should be
formed. with the power to shut off gas
practically at will. it could very soon
bring every city and town in Indiana to
terms, compel them to repeal their rate
ordinances and force them to use
meters at prices that would make mill
ions for the trust. With the prospects
of such magnificent profits in view, they
can we'll afford to spend money like
water in getting their pernicious legis-
lation through. Every gas town in In
diana has the best of reason to be
alarmed. and if they act at all they must
act quickly.
