Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-10-26

. y
kinds of undue influences are
restored to, by both the old parties,
both North and South. Wholesale
bribery is common in New York and
Indiana. The coercion of, "vote
our ticket or lose your job is
practised as much in the North as
bulldozing in the South.
The assumption of championship
of pure elections by tue Republican
party is transparent hypocrisy. The
leaders of either of the old parties
care not how they win, just so they
win. and even difference in methods
is about obiterated. Formerly in
the South the night riding terrorizer
did the work of keeping the colored
voter away from the polls; now, the
Southern ringster is advancing in
refined barbarism, and takes pattern
after his Northern brother-in buying
votes and repeating. The latter
method costs no more, and does not
shock the sensibiities of the Peck
shifts. Tom Watson was beaten for
congress by counting the dead Of
the last twenty years, and repeat
ing. In Kansas, the Republican
ringsters have devised the new
method of having the returning
boards do the internal work of de-
feating the will of. the people. Pure
election laws and Australian ballot
systems can, under the Kansas
method. be routed, both horse and
foot. 1t is easily seen that Kansas
Republicans are ahead Of Georgia
Democrats. The Kansas method is
both simple and cheap, and then it is
not vulgar, like going down to the
rabbe, and giving so many dollars
a vote, or working repeaters.
Repeating the Federal election
laws is not the end, by any means,
of the fair elections question,
though it be the end of wrong
method. Like Banquo's ghost, the
question will not down.
A party is rising that stands for a
free vote and fair count of every
man, white or black, rich or poor.
Either we must have fair elections
or a one-man government there is
no other alternative; but the real
champions of pure elections are not
among Republican leaders. The
Republican party is in favor of pure
elections where the Republican par
ty is in the majority /; ditto Demo
cratic party; and either party will
bride, repeat, vote the dead, bull
doze or count out, in order to keep
the rings in Office The rotten old
machines are as dead to every
patriotic impulse as the Devil is to
good actions, and the yawping in
congress of the hoary-headed hypo'

Congress is Very Duh.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-The senate
was not In session today. Rather un-
expectedly, and after refusing to adjourn
over from Friday till Monday, early IN
the day yesterday that body reconsidered
its action behind closed doors IN execu.
tive session, and consequently there were
no proceedings of interest today beyond
speechmaking in the house. In some
quarters 1t was suggested that the tor
pedo thrown into the senate by Butler of
South Carolina yesterday IN the shape of
an amendment to the bank circulation
bill, and repeating the state bank tax,
had alarmed the senators who desired
speedy action on that measnse, and, fear
ing that the amendment might carry,
and thereby cripple the national bank
system, unless full time were given TO
point out tie dangers it invoked, they
permitted adjournment.
In the house, McCreary of Kentucky
opened the silver debate today, speaking
for the repeal of the silver purchase
clause. He would not hold that act as
hostage 10 free coinage. Free coinage
should stand on Its own merits; but the
only path which should lead to the free
coinage of silver was an international
agreement. and the only way TO reach
that agreement was the repeal of the
purchasing clause.

The most serious outbreak of popular
feeling against the French occurred in
this city late last night. when mob at
tempted to burn the French embassy.
Some of the rioters carried cans of pet
roleum, and did not hesitate to openly
declare their intention to use it in de-
stroying the embassy. The authorities,
however. had anticipated that an attack
might be attempted on tine embassy, and
a strong force of troops were detailed to.
guard the building. The rioters. how
ever, attempted to carry out their threats
to burn the EN- bassy. notwithstanding the
presence of the soldiers. The soldiers
charged upon them, but the mob held
their ground for time and fought stub
bornlv, and it was not until several
charges were made that they began to
retreat, fighting all the time. Forty
five rioters were arrested. Many of the
mob were wounded by sabers. Rtoting
in the provincial towns was only quelled
bv the use of troops, the police beng
utterly poweres to handle the mob.
Further Developments are anxiously
awaited

The editor OF the Salem Democrat
is entitled to medal for the original
ity of his opinions. Such genius
should not be buried IN the obscurity
of an insignificant state capital, but
should illuminate the councils of some
great nation. Hear him: "The Re
publicans enacted the Sherman law in
opposition to the Democracy. That
law and Republican profigacy has
bankrupted this nation" The whole
problem has now been solved, and the
reason of the hundreds of thousands
now out of employment in the coun-
try is because Republicans. in opposl-
tion to free-silver Democrats, passed
the Sherman act, and because the party
with which they are affiliated have
for more than thirty years, up to
March, 1898, bankrupted the nation
and impoverished the producers of the
country by levying duties on foreign
goods, manufactured by pauper labor,
and on raw materials, grown in Aus
trala and the Argentine republic.
Such trash and nonsense will be ridi-
culed by any school boy who has the
least knowledge of the history of the
country.

of his trip here is said to be to look into

produced in Colorado several years with

got the silver production of the United
States under control. She would dictate
the price of metal to England for use in

the purchasing clause of theNSherman act
will not be formally taken up in the sem

cussed by Senator Morrill,, of Vermont.
who brings to It's study mind that has
penetrated all the mysteries of finance
snd that has been refined by an experl
epce IN the house and senate outlasting a
generation Of mankind. Morrill, has Uc--
cupied for many congresses the position
of chairman of the committee on finance,
and is now one of the leading Republican
members of that committee. He has
chosen for the text of his speech the sen
tence, Sound money cheats nobody"
and It is understood that be will avow
himself the friend of bimets!ism, while
gladly voting for repeal of the Sherman
act.
Irasmuch as vote will be taken fbis

pointed by the governors of states, after

DegeneratInx Into Robbers

MoNyEvDEo, Aug. 21-The Brazllian
minister has asked the Uruguayan gov
ernment to arrestith the guerrlllas from Rio
Grande do Sui who ran across the border
when pursued. Tie last news received
in Montevideo in regard to the revolu-
tionists of Rio Grande do Sui was that
they had become mere bands of robbers,
who were Riding ranches, stealing cat
tie and destroying railroad bridges. They
have committed many acts which would
not be TO Grated in more civilized coun-.
tries, and there is desolation III Southern

the Brazilian troops they cross over TO
Uruguay and claim protection on the
ground that their offenses are purely po-
litical. The Urugnsysn government is
considering the request that they be arr
rested and turned over to the Brazilian
officials.

Branding Ooyotes.

All over the boondless west can be found
cattle and horses branded according 90 the
fancy of their owners, but probably in no
section of the country outside of Yakima
will he seen coyotes with brand, and that
brand the one of the government of the
United States. A favorite passime of the
Yakima Indians IS to lariet coyotes and
press the red hot brand OF 81. D." Indian
Department. upon their fianks. Many OF
these Sinking animals. thus peculiarly
marked. are frequently to be seen on the
Yakima Indian reservation, and SO popular
has this sport been with the siwashes that
the young are now brought forth bearing
this brand. Uncle Sam would have some
trouble rounding up all the stock marked
with this brand.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 1t has been
practically decided by the leaders of the
silver and anti silver forces in the house
to ask the house to amend the terms OF
the order under which the pending de-
bate Is being conducted. Owing to the
demand upon the speaker for time to

it was suggested inst the five minute de-
bates to (Which the last three days of the
week had been assigned should be cur
tailed one day, and that the time be
added to the periods set for general dis
cusslon. Should the house agree to the
change agreed upon by the leaders,

Too Much Water.

Mike Rosendorf. of Independence, Or,
has received a German paper from his old
home IN Schneider Muhl, giving an account
OF a very peculiar catastrophe which hap
pened June Goth. On account of cholera
all the wells were inspected IN the town of
10000 people, and one which was con-
demned was sunk deeper by its owner TO
get pure water, and when $50 feet deep the
well commenced flowing and water rose
high above the surface of the ground, and
at the present time several blocks of land
have been undermined covered with fine
business blocks, and over million dollars
worth of property have been destroyed.
Mr.. Sommerfield, cousin of Mr.. Rosen.
dorf, is loser several thousand dollars. The
water Is still flowing and they do not know
how to stop it. The head engineer of the
German empire has examined the state of
affairs and says he can stop the flow if
large sum of money is paid him.

SENATOR wo1oorrs SPEECH.

One of the most notable speeches
thus far delivered in congress fell from
the lips of the eloquent Senator VOL
colt, of Colorado, says an eastern ex-
change. He began by making very
remarkable provincial statement, one
which we are surprised that even
Colorado politician should make, but
he largely atoned for it by declara-
tion grandly patriotic, and in refresh
ing contrast, not only with the bloody
bride of Governor Waite, but with
the general tone of the representatives
of the silver. producing states.
The first statement referred to was
that he had "yet to hear single man
of experience in financial matters or
in public affairs say that the unfortu-
nate financial crisis through which the
country was passing had anything to
do with the Sherman act" We should
expect Mr.. Wolcott to deny that such
is the case, but to say that no expert
enced fnancier claims it is very nearly
the exact opposite of the fact, We
cannot imagine where the senator has
been and with whom he has conversed
during the last three months He
must have made the trip from Denver
to Washington in private car and
kept himself aloof from everybody.
, The truth is that the Sherman law is
made the scapegoat of the period by
almost all men of experience in fnan-
cial matters. There are other causes
which are quite too generally over
looked, but Mr.. Wolcott's statement is
quite apart from the merits of the
case. The other statement is this:
"What legislation is needed l am at
a loss to know. But | shall vote, not
as citizen of my own section only,
but as citizen of the whole country"
This patriotic stand is in refreshing.
contrast with anything we have seen
reported as coming from the other
Rocky mountain senators. The cause
of silver has been seriously prejudiced
and weakened by the apparent inabil-
ity of Senators Teller, Jones and
Ste&art to see beyond the ore dump. |
The more of this Wolcott sort Of pa
triotism the representatives. of silver
production show the more likely viii
they he 10 secure favorable hearing
from the American people. Calhoun

indefensible, if not as dangerous, at
