The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-05

BY the way, what has become of
the convention that assembled in
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, some time
ago, for the purpose Of organizing a
new political party? Since the first
announcement in the dispatches that
such q convention had assembled,
there has not been another word
about it from that day to this. 1t is
becoming more and more apparent
every day that the chief Office of the
great associated press monopoly is to
suppress news rather than to pub
lish it.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-05
POLITICAL INsINCERITY.

POLITICAL INsIN0ERITY.
Political insinCerity has seldom been
more thoroughly demonstrated than by the
Populist state senate of Kansas. That party
resolved in favor Of eleOting railway COM
misaioners by the people. The republicans
placed that doctrine in their platform three
years ago. When the railway bill went to
the Populist senate it refused to pass it for
the avowed reason that it allowed the people
to elect the commissioners, that body in
sisting that the power TO appoint should be
lodged in the executive council. This
demonstration of the insinCerity ofthe Pop
ulist leaders in the Kansas senate ought to
open the eyes of q great many people who
have been looking for an era Of ''Populist
reform. ."-AtChison Champion, March Is.
The utter lack of political sincerity
and honesty as well as good sense in
this claim which is beng iterated and
reiterated in the republican press is
shown by two facts which need only
be stated without word of comment
The first is that the original Greenlee
bill had no provision for the election
Of railway commissioners by the peo-
pie. That section was an after con-
sideration and was offered as an
amendment to the original bill, prob
ably with the special purpose in view
of affordlng opportunity for the mis-
representations and falsehoods that
are now being published concerning
it. The second fact is that the max
imum freight bill passed by both the
senate and the Dunsmore house con-
tains this section:
At the general election in November, 1893,
there shall be elected three commissioners,
who, after the first Monday in January,
1894, shall constitute the board Of railroad
commissioners Of the state, and shall serve
official terms as follows, to-wit: The one
for the first district for one year, the one
for the second district for two years, and the
one for the third district for three years, re-
speCtively, from the first Monday in Janu-
ary, 1894; and at the general election every
year thereafter there shall be elected q COM
missioner, who shall be a member Of the
said board, and who shall serve for the term
Of three years from the first Monday in
January next following his election: and in
case any vacancy occurs in said board at
any time not hereby provided for, the gov
ernOr shall appoint competent person to
serve until the next general election there
after, to fill unexUired term, or until his
successor from said district has been duly
elected and qualified.
This settles the question as to the
position of Peoples party senator's
and representatives in relation to the
election of commissioners by the peo-
pie. 1t also settles the question of
the locality of the political insin-
cerity" that is manifested upon this
anbiacE.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-05
Politicians Knocked Out.


The professional politician is the
strongest opposition now working against
the initiative and referendum. Pugu-
lists oppose humane laws, Incorporate
men oppose temperance laws, monopo-
lists oppose snti-monopoly laws, and
politicians oppose anti-ring laws, and the
greatest of all anti-ring legislation is
"direct legislation" They can see in
this movement the death stroke to their
profession. 1t is th9 peoples only SAL
vstion. We have tried one hundred
years to enact laws, through our repre-
sentatives, in behalf Of the people, and
to-day every one knows we are farther
from it than the day we began.
Just why men elected by the people
will not enact the laws their constit-
uents desire, is not apparent to most
minds, and yet it is the only possible
conclusion Of the present system.
Every sssemblymsn in our legislature
represents about 1000 men. These So
called representatives are invested with
the lsw-making power of their constitu-
ents. A law is nothing but social con-
tract. Whatever contract, therefore,
these representatives enter into, by virtue
of our constitution, binds the 1000 who
sent him. These 1000 constituents are
compelled to carry into effect whatever
law or contract their representatives may
bind them to.
Every representative has therefore at
his disposal, 1000 man power. Whether
q man possesses 900 man power in the
form of cattle, or in the form of steam
engine, or in the form of raisins, or in
the form OF his constituents, it is power
In either case and can be cRshed in any
mart in the world. For this reason the
power of the people, vested in their rep
resentatiVes, has always been unscrupu-
lously sold to the highest bidder.
The only solution for this problem is
for the people to take this power out Of
the hands Of their denominated repre-
sentatives and hold it forever in their
own direct control. This will end all
Doodle and the day of the professional
politician will be past. For when the
people assert their insliensble right to
enter into, and make their own contracts,
there will be no market for a culprit
representative vote Then the people
will not only have the right to enact a
law, but also the right to repeal law,
and no corporation will pay very much
to representative who cannot enact q
law that will stick. Hence the begin
ming Of the solution of these economic
troubles is to take out Of the hands of
our representatives the power to bind us.
For we will be their slaves 80 long as
they have power to bind us to contract.

A MAN never knows how mean he is until
he runs for COuncilman.-Emporia Gazette.
Possibly; other people find it out,
however, when he begins to run a
stand-up-for- Kansas newspaper.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-05

IT is somewhat remarkable what a
change has come over the republican
press relative to Treasurer Biddle's
bond. It is now thought to be a
pretty good kind of bond after all.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-05

JOE ADY's claim to a seat in the
United States senate is rather a chest
nut, but it has been presented IN the
senate by Senator Hoar. Poor Joe!

JEFE DEL PARTIDO

Como tai fue lnvltado Don
Julian Blanco para concurrir a
todos los actos ofciales que tu-
vieron efecto en- la Capital de
esta Isla, con motive de la llega-
da de los Infantes Don Antonio
de Orleans y Dona Eulalia de
Borb6n.
Y asisti6 al templete de la Ma
rina al momento de la entrada de
SIS. AA., Y a la reception en- la
Fortaleza, y al banquete en- la
casa consistorial, y q la gira a
Rio-Piedras.
Por consiguiente, & todos esos
actos llev6 ell Presidente del Di-
rectorio Misrepresentation de nues-
ira colectividad.
Hubo para clio acuerdo pre-
VIC de la Delegation 8 siquiera
del Directorio7
Lo ignoramos, Y ademas no
nos parece probable, por mas que
10 correcto hubiera sidoconsultar
ell case con los demas miembros
del Directorio, Y aun con los de
Ia Delegation residences en- la
Capital.
Pero nosotros, como autono-
mistas retraidos en- virtud de in
sistentes agravios, creemos que
el Presidente del Directorio no
debi6 concurrir con semejante ca
racter q todos aqu6llos actos.
Y no es por que opinemos que
un republican,, por serlo, no
puede concurrir q presencia de
los representatives de la monar-
qufa. Verdad es que no recor-
damos eiemplo de que estos
hayan dado audiencia a Pf y
Margall, Salmer6n y demas Illus
tres iefes de las diversas fraccio-
nes del republicanismo peninsu-
lar; Y no mencionamos a CASTELAR,
por que este va APENAs sE Liza
MA Pfo; nj tampoco es de presu-
mirse que aquellos sohcitaran
semejanto honor.
Pero no creemos que nj ri y
Margall, nj Salmer6n nj hombre
alguno de la talla polftica de
aouellos, cometiese la descortes1a
de negarse & concurrir a un la
mamiento del Jefe del Estado.
Entendemos, sin embargo, que
ese llamamiento deber1a ser ter
minante para que la concurren-
cia equivaliese al cumplimiento
una orden, Y que, una vez en- Pa
lacio, hablarfan ALI con la noble
franqueza que el case requiriese.
Pero faera de ese case extricto
no es de suponerse que aquellos
republicanos concurririan q re-
cepciones palatinas nj q banque-
tes regios nj 4 fiestas organizadas
On honor y obsequio de individuos
de la Regia familia
Entendenos pues que el Jefe
La democracia. (Ponce, P.R.) 1890-1948, 1893-05-16

actos ofciales no impliquen una
obligation inelndible deconcurrir.
Es muy cierto que los que anna
mos ell honor del pals, los que to-
nemos sincere empeno en- que
bajo la bandera de Espana haya
aqu1 un cumplido respeto q todos
los derechos del ciudadano: los
que queremos yer a Puerto Rico
dlsfrutando de todas las ventaias
que correspondent q IN pueblo
quito, los que asf pensamos Y he
mos robustecido nuestra volun-
tad queriendo que nuestro pue-
bio sea un pueblo en- que todos
los hombres llevemos con orgu-
llo el nombre de espanoles y ell
nombre de puertorriquenos; es
innegable, repetimos, que los que
tales ideas abrigamos no obtene-
mos del poder sino la desatenci6n
mas absolute y Ell desd6n mas
irritante. Testigo ell recurso en-
tablado por ell mismo don Julian
Blanco, contra diversos acuerdos
ilegales adoptados por la Dipu-
tacion Provincial.
7 en- tai situacion NADIA cuadra
mas a nuestra hidalgufa como es-
panoles y a nuestro amor pro-
plo como puertorriquenos que
combatlr et desden con ez desde,a,
sea cual fuere ell resultado de
nuestra conducta.
Por ese concepto que tenemos
de 10 que corresponds 4 la digni-
dad de los puertorriquenos com
batlmos la concurrencia de don
Julian Blanco, q las festas Rea-
les; salvo siempre ell or con Sc
renidad y con el anhelo de verle
Justifcado, 10 que aquel distin-
guido hombre p1blico exponga
en- abono de su concurrencia &
los actos mas culminantes de di-
chos festejos.
LeJos de nOsotros ell hallarnos
preven1dos contra la persona Gu
yos actos juzgamos todo 10 con-
trarlo: Sus antecedentes como
polftico nos inclinan & suponer
que motives poderosos, que noso-
tros en- nuestra muy mediana
compression no alcanzamos q per-
cibir, habran sido causa deter
minante de 10 que iuzgamos un
error. liable, pues, el Presiden-
te del Directorio; que nosotros
y ell pals entero leeremos con to-
da atenci6n sus explicaciones.
Y mientras tanto, 10 repetimos,
nj como republicanos nj como
autonomistas hubi6semos concu-
rrido a ninguno de los festejos
celebrates en- honor de los Infan-
tes; a los que particularmente no
negarfamos, sin embargo, la consi-
deraci6n que como personas dig
mas y educadas acknowledgements
merecen.
La democracia. (Ponce, P.R.) 1890-1948, 1893-05-16

debi6 concurrir q una audiencia
particular, obedeciendo 0rdenes de
los que trafan aqui la representa-
ci6n del Jefe del Estado, de Ia
propia manera que puede Y debe
concurrir al llamamiento del Ex-
celentfsimo Sr. Gobernador Gral.
Pero que nj pudo nj debi6 con-
currir a banquetes nj q otros ac-
tos de puro obsequio a los Infan-
tes, primero Y ante todo porque
el retraimiento del partido auto
nomista nos aconseja esquivar la
concurrencia q todo acto Official
que no sea rigurosamente obli-
gatorio; Y segundo porque cier-
tamente los republicanos, en- YER
dad, no 10 somos para formar
ni1mero entire los que toman par
te activa en- las festas de la Mo
narqufa.
Y al decir este nj atacamos nj
ponemos en- duda la honorable
dad de don Julian Blanco, repu-
blicano, autonomista Y jefe de
nuestro partido en- Puerto-Rico.
Sin duda el Presidente del Di-
rectorio Y de la Delegation habra
obrado con rectitud, de miras Y
con noble intenci6n de acertar.
Quizas tenga ademas motives
que nosotros desconocemos, y
quizas haya procedido hacienda
8 creyendo hacer con clio un gran
servicio al partido autonomista
puertorriqueno. Puede que en-
clio tenga razon, aunque nosotros
no 10 creamos as1 ; Y en- verdad
parece diffcil que un hombre CO.
mo Blanco haya procedido de Il
gero y sin razones pot1simas que
abonen su conducta.
Pero mientras no conozcamos
de alg1n modo esas razones, nos
otros, republicanos de buena fe,
no acertamos & comprender en-
virtud de que orden de ideas ha
llevado don Julian Blanco a un
banquete regio la representation
del partido autononista puerto
rriqueno.
Sin duda 6l dara al pals expli-
caciones, que su proceder justifi-
quen Y nosotros las aguardamos
con ansiedad.
Mientras tanto, queremos de-
Jar bien deslindado que nosotros
nj como republicanos nj como
autonomistas estamos de acuerdo
con que ell iefe de la colectividad
q que estamos afiliados haya au-
mentado ell n1mero entire los cor
tesanos de la Monarqufa
Y creemos que ell partido au-
tonomista retraido en- los comi-
clos; y habiendo resuelto dejar

sabilidad asi en- el Municipio CO.
