Equal Suffrage.

There is n letter on equal suffrage in the
Cresset of last week, by q gentleman VINO
signs himself Fairshow. II seems to me that,
although many of his remarks upon this topic
are very sensible, he still does not look at the
subje t quite straight. Would it not be more
just, Tor instance, for woman to have a voice
in the election of the ruler, seeing that she is
compelled to submit to the laws he may make.
And ought it to be taken for granted that the
women of this country are all, or at least a
majority OF them, republicans OF democrats,
or should they be conside red as desiring war,
or a change in tho coinage, or a heavy tax on
wooden goods, or the election of man of
doubtful character to an office of power and
influence in the state when their opinion has
never been asked or given, although all these
changes concern them so deeply. Is 1t war
they lose their sons; the taxes and coinage af-
feet their incomes and the influence OF tho
senator may be something they abhor. And
come of us have no husband. We may be
cross, grabbed or overbearing, but still, like
men of similar characteristics, We surely
have right to be considered in the choice of
those whe shall govern u.s. Some spinster and
widows own property, pay taxes, carry on ex.
tensive business establishments and are there
fore practically interested in the government
of their state and country. l could mention
many such women whose names are well
known in the business world. Some of them
pei sonal acquaintances of my own. They
are all taxed without their consent, wrong
that English Nen fought for centuries to set
right, and all obey laws made without any ref
erence to their wishes.
We all know that woman's social influence
would be greatly increased if she had a vote in
the government to give force to her remon-
strances Lastly, is it not rather Presump-
tons for the man to assume all the rights of
government, when the woman has to bear at
least half of the consequences of his mistakes.
am not considering woman as a possible
president. or Any kind of o!ilceI. Tie suffrage
does not hestow any of these prizes upon her,
it simply gives her the right to chose her own
law maker, and to express publicly, and with
the weight which legal vote would attach to
it, her opinion of the character of govern
ment that has been imposing its acts on her
acceptance. KATE LAMMIMAN.

Simpson,

Simpson may stay in Topeka a little
too long to suit the plutocratic corpora
tions, but when he speaks we know
where "he is at" He may sometimes
be extreme, extremely hard on monop,
olistic greed, but he is always on the
peoples side, as evidenced in the fol.
lowing from the record.
Mr.. Chairman, hope this amend
ment will not prevail. | am opposed tt
any large appropriation for building
military posts. l do not think any
such appropriation IS necessary at this
time. we are at peace, as l unerstand
with all the world. and | do not see any
necessity for building up military posts.
1t is especially true that in view of the
condition of our treasury at the pres
ent time, we are not warranted in
spending money for purposes of this
kind. Not many days ago there came
up in this house bill proposing to ap-
porpriate some millions of dollars for
the purpose of buying large tract of
land to provide homes for tie homeless
people Of the country. The plea was
then made In opposition TO the bill that
because of the lack of funds in the
treasury the money could not lie appro-
priated.
Now, think we ought in the first
place to take al necessary and proper
measures for the purpose Of securing
homes for our homeless people, before
we provide for building up expensive
military posts throughout the country.
1t seems to me that the sum of $500 600
prOpo2ed by the committee to be ap-
propriated ia this item will be ample.
Hence, | am opposed to the amend
ment. have no military post in my
district; but if had, do not think it
would affect my vote on this subject. /
believe We sho9id legislate for the ben
eft of all the people, and not be too
much guided by the fact that some of
the money to be appropriated will pc
spent in our own immediate district,
and that by voting and working for the
appropriatln we may secure the votes
OF some of our constituents.

Republican Rebellion.

The following editorial on the repub-
lican rebellion in Kansas is taken from
the Observation-Disclosures, of the 18th INST,
republican newspaper of national re-
putatioD. Its conclusions upon the re-
cent revolt against executive authority
in our state are those that all loyal men
must arrive at from a dispassionate
view of the history of the legislative
embroglio:
The republicans in Kansas in the
past few days have been acting in a
manner that reflects no credit upon the
party in general. The attempted ar
rest of Clerk Rich, an act which preci-
pitated the present trouble, was "auth-
orized" on apparently flimsy pretext.
1t was, to all appearances, not only I'M
necessary, but distinctly unwise, and
the fruits of that act have served to
discredit Kansas wherever the news of
the present trouble has reached. The
reports of branch of state legislature
arming a large number of 'sergeant-at-
arms" for an attack upon the Topeka
capital; the stories of the conflict of
authority between the sheriff and mill
tia, and of the assault upon the doors
of the hall; such items of news do not
make pleasant reading for the friends
OF order in the United States. A party
of hoodlums could hardly have done
more damage to the property of the
state than was done by the legislators
who claim TO represent the people of
Kansas.
Bad as was the exhibition given by
the republican legislators In their arm
ed attack upon the hall of representa-
tiyes, even still greater mistake seems
to have been made, from political
point of view, in the reported appeal of
the republican leaders to certain cor
porations for protection" from the
state militia. If the republican lead
ers, as the dispatches distinctly state,
have made such an appeal, they have
made a very bad blunder from any
point of view. To oppose such force
to the state militia is unwise, because
CllC lCuICuy III duy WIODS WHICH the
state troops may commit lies not in
armed resistance, but in an appeal to
the law, whose representative the ma
tiOnal guard is supposed to be. From
a political point of view, the republi-
can leaders have, by their request for
protection, rendered the corporations
only added new justification for the
statement that in Kansas the repubIi-
can party is the servant of those cor
pOrations. What under the sun has the
AtchisOn road to do with the question
of the legality of the republican house,
and under what pretext could that road
dare to send trainmen to oppose the
state troops? What has any other cor
pOration to do with the quarrel, unless
it be true that those corporations have
special interest in keeping one of the
parties in power? The instant the
Atchison road, or any othel large con-
Germ, attempts to oppose its employe
to the military in the interest OF any
party, that instant the defeat of that
party by the people becomes foregone
conclusion"

Topeka.

After all the turmoil, peace reignS at
last. War has been averted: but the
struggle of right against wrong is just
as active as though blood had been
shed. Lewelling, to avoid civil war,
dealt kindly with INSTRUMENTATION and
open rebellion. The parties guilty of
the acts, which were but little If any
short OF overt treason, probably did not
stop to consider their relation to the
chief executive of the state. AS to
which house was the legitimate one.
the governor and senate are clearly
clothed with the right to use their best
Judgment. 1t was not incumbent upon
or the privilege of any malitlaman or
any private citizen to oppose the gov
ernor's conclusion in this matter. If
any authority had any right to inter.
fere, it was the supreme court.
The supreme court has spoken. AS
every populist predicted, its decision
was for the Douglass house. The mis-.
fortune of our supreme court, however,
is, that the majority of the people OF
the state believe it is dominated more
by political bias than a sense of justice.
1t is very questionable whether their
judgment is any better than the gov
ernor and the senate. We do not be-
lieve it is half as good.
The court itself was divided; which
indicates strong ground for doubt
whether the decision was just one.
We believe it unjust. Courts are often
mistaken; If not corrupt.
There are two lines of action for the
populists. One is to deny any but an
advisory authority in the court, and
continue to ignore the Douglass house.
Another is to recognize the house, join
with them in order to avoid further
danger of open strife; and appeal to
the higher court of the people for justi-
6cation. Whatever the supreme court
might say it is plain that the people
must ultimately decide the matter
There is one point gained, however
that is beyond controversy now. Sem
ator Martin cannot be contested with a
shadow of hope for the contestees.
The matter is not settled. The de-
clsion of the supreme court is not final
From every side come expressions of
indignation at the rebellion and trea-
son of republican leaders, their aid by
the Santa Fe, and the unfairness of the
supreme court. The people are the fin
al arbters, and the Dunsmore house
passed enough measures to show the
people what they would do, in their be-
half, if the Vaccinations of corpora
tions had not prevented it. On this
showing we fear not their decision; nor
are we in the least surprised or alarm.

tiOn laws and appropriations. Let US
begin as we promised, to reduce tariff
laws.
There is no hand in all this govern
ment strong enough to thrust this mat
ter in this house and compel the demon
citation of silver, nor is there a hand
in this government strong enough TO
compel the repeal of this law-the So
called silver law-until some other
measure is instituted equally satisfac-
tory or better, to take its place.
And give notice now. that you can
| divide and disrupt the democratic par.
ty and defeat all reforms, but you can
not accomplish the purpose of legisla-
ting solely in the interest of Wall street
on this question. We do not intend
that it shall be done. No threat held
over us will deter us for moment from
the performance Of our duty on this
| floor.
We are simply masquerading here.
Our eastern democratic friends are
thrUstinH that matter into the faces of
| the democrats of the west and south.
They can continue to thrust the cues
ton until they make division here
that will never be healed. Applause. |
defy you 10 undertake to demone-
TIE silver again in this country and 90
back to the infamous legislation of 1873.
The democratic party for the last &c
years has denounced that as the most
Infamous piece of legislation that was
ever accomplished in American history,
and here it is calmly and cody proposed
in democratic house that we shall 90
back to that act of 1873 and thus wipe
out all coinage of silver-all laws which
recognize that metal as money in this
country-and ratify and confirm the
most yillainous and tyrannical piece of
legislation that was ever enacted in the
history OF this government. Applause.
The sherman act causes the issue of
$50, 600, 900 legal tender notes annually.
This keeps up circulation to meet in
creased population and wealth to some
extent. If 1t is repealed 1t would mean
the contraction OF the circulation $50
OOO, 900 a year, which would cause prices
to go down and hard times. The great
complaint from the western people, land
the south especially, is low prices and
scarcity of money. We cannot afford
to force prices lower, and we ought not
to repeal that law until we substitute

Does Farming Paw

The way MIR. Cresset figures out IL
per cent profit for MI. Wadsworth in
the issue of week before last is a trifle
amusing. By his own showing, Mr..
WadswOrth had capital OF $500, and
sold off 81 ,522.5 worth of produce. BY
his own showing, too, he had at the
end of the year 10 head fewer cattle
which at SIS per head equals $500. He
had % fewer hogs, which at So per head
-$224. Taking this 1924 from 81 ,522.-
90 leaves about S698. If he gives in his
property at J the above values, his tax
es will be near S145. 00swhich will leave
1858. If Mr.. Wadsworth now D uts his
labor at $3.50 per year, and that of his
brother at $500 per year for a rough es-
innate and let the outlay for clothing,
etc., equal what was taken by turkeys,
eggs, etc, for the food bill, which
would otherwise come out of wages:
we will then have $3.50. 90
more to take from the profits on the
investment. AS that is a mathematics
al impossibility, the only conclusion IS
that labor got the difference between
$3.50 and $3.50 or $l97 less than it's Just
reward; and where is your profit on in
vestment? Gone where the wood bine
twineth, or rather where it never start
ed to Irvine. and labor poorly rewarded,
has alone lifted a $500 mortgage. Mr..
Wadsworth deserves compliment for
his industry and thrift; but the mathe-
mates of the Cresset would make IS
greater than 81. GRANGER.
