THE WAY OUT.
How to Pay Off all State and individual
Debts, Mortgages Etc. in Kansas.

A representative of the largest safe
and vault company in the country So
journed in our town a few days and
being well travelled man his opinion
was asked about our duplex legislature.
He suggested that the enterprising
citizens of Great Bend and Kansas
generally, make up a subscription to
build two huge cages, or vaults, in one
of which the populist house be confined
and in another one the republican
house. The cages to be constructed

to be perfectly secured with time-locks
that never open; and send these cages
to the Worlds Fair. Expenses could be
saved by employing the few democrats
as keepers, or wardens. Let a special
fee of so cents be taken for a peep at
them, and after the Fair, tour through
the country, and visit to Europe and
other places would, without doubt,
bring enough money to pay off the
mortgages of our state.
If more attraction should be needed
the Governor of the state and Bill
Higgins might be sent along in a
little cage all by themselves to write
proclamations and juggled returns
during the trip, which would sell for
enough to pay additional expenses. In

went to their room at the New Typer

gasoline. They used hottleful of the

The DEMOCRAT wants to enter a
vigorous kick against the action of the
executive counsel of our state in its
selection of the new railroad commits
sloners. In that selection the central
and western thirds of the state were
totally ignored, the three new men
being of the eastern third. Certainly
the farmers and business men of
central and western Kansas are as
much il need of having their interests
looked after as are the dwellers of the
few river counties on the extreme east
end. We have good and capable men
from central and western Kansas
whose appointment was asked, and
whose claims should have been recog-
nized. A time will come when this
part of the state will be in a position
to compel recognition, and the Unjust
ice we have long suffered under will
not be forgotten.

ADAM GOODSELL.

In THE light of recent events, it is
fearfully disgusting to hear men who
a few months ago paraded the streets
wearing badges labeled Stand up for
Kansas" now standing on the street
corners and talking about anarchists
in Kansas. If there are any disloyal
people in Kansas-and thank God there
are but few of them-they are the
men who advised a resistance to the
lawful governor and other state officers.
The idea of such fellows standing up
for Kansas!" Their actions and their
language brands them as the enemies
OF good government, and shows that
they care not a whit for Kansas, so
long as the interests of Kansas people
are not the interests of the republican
party.

STRAws show which way the wind
blows. r. B. WEIGH, the leader of the
mob of so-called seargents-at- of
the rep. house, as soon as he and the
rest of his mob gained representative
hall by smashing in the doors with a
sledge hammer, telephoned to the
Santa Fe shops to ''send all the shop
men you can to our assistance" This
is one of the straws. Of course, when
Geo. r. Peck, the boss at Topeka, heard
of Welch's demand he caught onto the
dead give-away in the act, and pro-
ceeded to roast Welch for being so
indiscreet" you know. Whether the
Santa Fe road is or is not aiding and
abetting the republicans in the legisla-
tive fight, the act of Welch proves con-
clusivelY that he expected aid from
that source, at time when he thought
he needed aid awful bad

Not until the senatorial deadlocks in North
Dakota. Montana and Washington have been
roken will the precise political complexion Of
the United States Senate, which is to be after
the fourth OF March, be apparent to the many
anxious ones who are watching the gradual
ofic;.l extinction Of the republican party. 1t
10 but reasonable to suppose that the legisla-
lures Of both North Dakota and Washington will
elect republicans, for the troubles in those
states spring from discussions within the re-
publican ranks. but the chances in Montana are
decidedly democratic. in spite of the fact that
a democrat yesterday voted for Senator Sanders,
who is he republican meat in an otherwise
democratic sandwich Florida will, of course,
return q democrat, 50 it may be reasonably
estimated that the party which will be exalted
next month is going to have control Of the Sem
ate. for there will be forty-fo democrats,
forty republicans and four populists. should
all the populists vote with the republicans-a
most improbable possibility result would
be a tie and this the vice president would speed
lily break. The democratic party will, at noon
of the fourth Of March. be unanimously tri-

honor- bestowed by the American people and
much will be demanded of administration
