Mr.. Mary Z. Lease il beginning to find on.

Mrs Mary T. Lease il beginning to find out
that while IL IL comparatively easy to call the
Afrite from the jar, 1t is moro than even she
can do to get him back again and securely
corked down Followed by hundreds less elo-
quent and therefore less dangerous, Mrs. Lease
has aroused in the Kansas mind what has been
mistaken by many for a sense of wrong. OBJ
jurgatory adjectlves were freely applied to
agree with the revolutionary doctrines that
were being scattered broadcast throughout the
west and southwest. Orators with theories
men and women whose ignorance forbade their
recognizing the force Of words-stirred up the
evil passions of . multitude that would, had it
opportunity, be as cruel as any aggre-
cation Of human savages ever were. And
for much of this Mrs. Mary E. Lease
Is responsible. To apply the term revolution
ists' to any considerable portion Of the popu-
lation of this country may seem harsh. but
threatening facts cannot be hidden beneath
smooth words. Why is it that the adjutant
general Of Kansas travels all over the state
organizing companies Of provisional guards?
What did this same officer mean when he said
that by November. 1894, he would have 100000
armed men at his back, ready to march at his
command and to shoot when SO ordered? Who
taught the people to read Ignatius Donnelly's
anarchistic murder-inspiring novel? Who
stirred up discomfort in every hamlet and home?
Who, literally, sowed the wind, and who fears
the reaping Of the whirlvind? Let Mrs. Mary
E Lease ask herself these questions and answer
them truthfully, if she will She did more
than all others to make populism
popular and now she shudders as she contem-
plates her handivork. Her latest effort is to
undo much that was accomplished last fall,
but the outlook is far from promising. She has
commenced to organize the women Of Kansas
into Q peace association, the members OF which
are bound by pledge to do their utmost to
prevent internecine war and to frown down the
formation Of those independent military COM
panies that are being formed by Gov. Lewelling
and Adjutant General Artz. 1t is late to COM
mence this work Of reform and the probabili-
ties are against anything like success, but Mrs.
Lease should not falter; if she cries "peace"
for twenty years to come she will not more than
begin to repair the wrongs she has inflicted upon
Kansas or wipe out the injury she has done to
the reputation Of the United States.

Gripmen employed by the Philadelphia
Traction Company have been complaining
loudly over an order which compels them to
stop their trains at every street corner. and
before crossing the intersectins streets. Prop
ositions looking to a similar ukase have been
discussed here, but the Philadelphia experience
IL 90 far from satisfactory as to pre-
clude its adoption in Washington. The
cable roads in this city were
built because there was . demand for rapid
transit aud it would be nothing short of fool
ishness TO nuIlify the increase in speed by in
sisting upon a large number of useless
stoppages. On one Of the Philadelphia roads
dx trips constitute . days work and by the
new order each gripman on that run
must make nine hundred and twenty-seven
stops, although less than one-haK that
number are really necessary. OF course the
Traction Company IL entitled to the undivided
services of its gripmen, but it must regard their
physical welfare. The e1ertion consequent
upon stopping and starting a cable train nearly
ons thousand times in a single day is too great
20 be comprehended by any one who is
without experience in handling the grip and
brake levers. Perhaps the Traction Company's
rule may prevent an occasional collision at
street crossings, but the number Of gripmen
who win be killed or disabled by over e1ertion
and longer hours in an endeavor to earn an
honest living viii keep up the average
mortality. Tho welfare Of passengers, too,
should receiyesome consideration Every stop
and start are accompanied by more or

On account Of unnecessary overwork-so that
travel upon the Traction Company's lines must
be attended with considerable discomfort.

GLADSTONES BILL. DENOUNCED.
Irish Americans Say II Does Not Provide
Home Rule for the Emerald Isle.

NEW YORK. Feb. IAN address was last
night issued to the Irish people by the Irish
National League of America. 1t was signed
by the president, secretary and treasurer
of the league. The address, in part, is as
follows:
The great British statesman, the Right Hon.
William Ewart Gladstone Will, within the next
few days, introduce in the British Parliament a
hOme-rule measure for Ireland. We have careful
ly studied its provisions and are of the opinion
that the measure Is a mere mass of legal VERDI
Even should the bill pass, 1t would only place
Ireland on still lower level. There would be O
make-believe Parliament entirely at tine mercy
OF an Engligh official with practically unlimited
powers The Lord Lieutenant would be TO ail
intents an absolute ruler over a miserable crown
colony. He would have his soldiers ana his
armed constabulary 10 enforce his wishes, and
the Parliament would be nullity. This meas
is more remarkable for its pro-
visions concerning what the proposed
Parliament shall not do than for any powers Ii
cOnfers on an Irish legislator. With the consent
OF the Lord Lieutenant, the Parliament in Dub
lin might build q bridge. construct road. re-
claim bog, or legislate concerning gas, water
and electricity. hat is all. Have Irishmen
ure as this from Englandl o think not.
We stand to-day at the parting OF the ways be-
twiXt resis tence and Cancellation. We have ad-
vised the latter, until patience has ceased to be
virtue and further temporizing has become
crime. We advise the formation of clubs
wherever there are Irishmen honestly desrous
of improving the condition of Ireland We cali
