Throughout all of the controversy be-
tween the Republicans and Populists in
Kansas Colonel Harris, who was elected
congressman at-large from that state last
November, has counseled moderation
and has suggested various plans for a
peaceful settlement of the difficulties be-
tween the two parties. On the other
hand Jerry Simpson has been untiring
in the effort to foment strife and precipi-
tate revolution. The course of these two
men wildly illustrates the difference be-
tween patriot solicitous for the welfare
of his state and political mountebank
intent only upon the selfish object OF
creating a sensation to iced his personal
vanity.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

The writer of the following which is
taken from Harper's Weekly was writ.
ten before the horse plays occurring in
Topeka 1his week took place or were
anticipated by any on the ground, but it
is none the less pertinent to the situation
at the state capital as it is affected by
the revolutionary actions and declara-
tons of some of the leaders of the cur
rent reformation, and is, withal, interest
ing and instructive to all just at this
time:
"a free people whose government is
habitually carried on through political
parties and whose political life consists
mainly in the struggles of political
parties for power, will under ordinary
circumstances look with leniency, and
even with certain pleasurable
appreciation upon those marches
and countermarches of political
strategy, those maneuvers for positions,
by which skillful party leaders seek to
secure an advantage with a view 10 com
ing contests. Nor is there any harm in
such maneuvering, unless itbe positively
dishonest, or in its effects detrimental to
the public well being, party leaders
think of nothing but how they may en-
barrass or injure the opposite party, no
matter how their political strategy may
effect for veal or woe the general inter
est of the country, they cease to he pat
riots, and the public Judgment should
visit them with the seyerest reproba-
ton

While the Democratic party of the
state is primarily responsible for the dis
graceful condition that has prevailed at
Topeka for two or three days past, 10y
reason Of tie support they gave the Pop
ulists in the recent contest ut the polls.
vet it must be said to the credit of the
few Democrats that were elected to the
Legislature that they disapproved of the
revolutionary declarations and proceed
ings Of the Populists and took no part
therein, which refusal no doubt had
much to do with the settlement of the
contest in the house without resort to
violence.

Bill Higgins seems to have endeared
himself to the Republican party leaders
so strongly that all future attacks OF the
enemy must fail to dislodge him from
their hearts and esteem. While Bill
from party standpoint is a brick,
politically he is one of the brightest and
5oundest men of the state. He has made
a great secretary of state, in which posi-
ton he saved the taxpayers Of Kansas
many thousands of dollars, and now that
he is out of Office he is proving a holy
terror to the combined Populist hosts of
Topeka.

At a meeting held Kansas Cltv.1t

At a meeting held in Kansas City, No.,
Wednesday strong resolutions were
adopted urging the speedy opening OF
the Cherokee strip TO settlement and
memorializing congress to that effect.
The action was timely, but the reason
set forth for the opening of the strip,
that is, that it would open new and val
liable territory which would be tributary
TO that city in lis commercial enterprises
and would stimulate railroad extension
into that territory, while tits commenda-
bic local enterprise, there is little in
II to commend 10 congress the impor-
lance of opening the strip. and if there
were nothing else involved it is doubtful
that anything would be done this year or
next. The distressing condition of the
throng Of intending settlers who are at
this moment lowering and shivering on
the borders OF the land is the first and
greatest consideration aud this if prop
erly presented and urged upon congress
and tie administration could not fail to
make effective impression.

quickly they would eat me up; the ship
