Populist Extinction.

Our Pop friends are fond Of quoting
from the the Topeka State Journal, n
pretended Republican paper which HIS
been saying more complimentary things
OF Populism than any paper In the
State. How do they like its explana-
ton of the Populist defeat which reads
as follows:
THE people Of Kansas do not like
POpulism. That seems to be the yer.
dict registered Mt the polls in this State
on Tuesday. Many voters in Kansas
have been misled during the last three
years, but they have opened their eyes.
They thought Populsm meant lighter
interest, lower freight rates, less taxes,
more money for their wheat and more
wages for their labor; they found that
II merely meant Office for a crowd Of
leaders, free rides in special cars, oppcr.
tunity for these leaders to put their
wives aud relatives into office, and q
general rush for the loaves and fishes
They found that the reformers were
merely made of common clay; 10 most
Instances much commoner clay thar
had previously occupied the State
Offices. They found, instead of The
wisdom In high places that they had
hoped for, only foOlishness and puer,
ility. The whole Populist administra
ton has been characterized by childish
ness from the red feather and tin swoTt
swashbucklerism OF Popinjay Artz t
the petty knavishness of Waste-baske
Rummager Todd. The Populist ranl
and file are disenchanted;th the scales havI
fallen from their eyes; their idols ar,
broken. With brilliant and capabl,
leaders the Populists might have lin
gered some years longer in this State
but with the present array of self
seekers ard spoilsmongers at thei
head they have already started on th,
decliyity which, happily for Kanpas
will soon end in their total Cxuuctiol
as u political party"

Lewelling on the Democrats.

Here is Lewelllng's definition of a
Democrat given in his speech during
the campaign:
Damned neuters in their middle way OF
steering,
Neither nsh nor fowl nor good red her
ring,
Republicans nor Democrats. nor this nor
that;
Nor bird nor beast, but just kind OF bat,
Atwilight animal trua TO neither cause,
with Democratic wings and plutooratic
claws."
But II looks as though the Demo-
Gratis all through Kansas had come out
second in therace. They were damned
neuters" when they fused and the results
in their relations with the National
administration, rs compared with those
Of the State of Nebraska, shows that
they have obtained neither fish nor
fowl nor good red herring, j. Sterling
Morton, who during the campaign a
year ago said that he would prefer the
the defeat of Grover Cleveland to the
election of a Populist governor Of
Nebraska, is In the cabinet, Suppose
we had had such Democracy in Kansas,
II such had been the case we believe
that George w. Click would have been
secretary of agriculture, because Clicks
personal service to Cleveland has been
the most devoted loyalty. = TX. O.

The Meaning Of the Victory.

The magnitude Of the great victory Of
last week astonished even those who
had the highest expectations. The
awakening of the people, deceived and
misguided last year but now returning
to their reason. ia majestic and impress
siye in its sweeping and decisive
character.
The present upheaval in our own
State is not merely an expression upon
the general political policies Of the two
parties, but it is the awakening Of the
people to the realization Of their own
monumental mistake, and a conscious
recovery of their lost reason. One
year ago the people Of this State were
dsluded into voting for a "change."
They tried an experiment-tried 1t
rashly and foollshly. They see their
blunder and have already had enough
Of II and are now ready and anxious TO
"ehange" back again.
Ten months OF Populist rule have
been enough to mark n new epoch in
Kansas histOry-an epoch OF which
every loyal Kansan is most profoundly
ashamed. The reaction against the
Populist party is against all that II
embodies and represents. None Of It's
infamies have availed to save II from
public condemnation, but each has
added weight to the blow. Its policies
and its practices are alike condemned.
All its crimes and follies and incapaci.
ties have helped TO make the party
offensive. The conduct Of the State
administration last winter only showed
what shameless sham is the lPopu lot
pretense Of respect for the peoples
will. Artz, Doster, Osborn aud
Lewelling only showed what alliance
with crime party is driven TO make
when II sets itself against the interests
aud honest convictions Of the people.
The great moral victory Is full OF
high encouragement. 1t has proved

always will be proved when need comes
that In an American State good men
who are on the side Of law, of order
and Of right are in an overwhelming
majority. The result Of the election
shows that though decisions, miscon-

Doster, Simpson, Lease Il Co. and
which misled many of our people have

people have have had only ten months
of such leaders and they have found
them incapable, mischlevous and dis
astrous and they have sounded the
.political doom of Populism in Kansas
with their overwhelming condemna-
ton.

The Populist papers claim that their
voters did not go to the polls. This
claim is silly. No one ever heard Of a
Pop missing an election. 1t is part
of his religion to vote just as straight
and just ds often as the law will allow
and 1t is safe to say there were not a
hundred in the whole State that failed
to vote The trouble was not with
them u failure to vote; they have

Welcome II. Hathaway Iwent to the CEN

and surrendered himself to the authori-
ties. Counsel Andrew j. Jennings accom-
panied him. Hathaway was Immediately
placed under arrest A few minutes lster
his wife aud brother Rufus drove TO the
station and went bail for him In the sum
of 5000 for his app earance before Judge
McDonough.
1t was officially stated that warrant
charging Hathaway with the forgery Of q
bill of lading, which forgery involved an
amount Of 5000. had been issued by the
lawyers acting for the allied banking in
terests affected and others involved. II
was further stated that the warrant
Had Been Given For Service.
Counsel Jennings action In surrender
ing his client prevented the police inspec-
tors visiting Mr.. Hathaway's house to
bring the broker to the station.
The alleged criminal act mentioned In
the warrant was one which made the Ma
tional Union bank victim, and it is
given out that the change was made in
this manner simply to hold the broker.
The banks and other creditors have con-
solidated In the prosecution.
Hathaway will probably waive examina-

mine whether or not any other charges are
warranted by the evidence adduced.

bers Very Eloquent Speakers.

NEW York, Sep 6.-The following was

lied liquor traffic foe to the general, moral,
physical and financial well being OF the
human race, a serious menace to the pros
perity of the nation and undoubtedly the
great impediment to the advancement and
coming of Christs Kingdom on earth;
convinced that the UNCONVENTIONAL church
Of to-day is not discharging its full duty
toward this evil: but on the contrary is,
through the guilty silence of its pulpits,
and the unrebuked political subserviercy
of the vast majority of its male members
to this evil, practically in completely with
it; and, feeling assured that it is against
the laws of ethics and common sense TO
hope for redress from this legalzed
''scourge OF all time until the organic
church, the recognized human source OF
all earthly purity, shall either 'come TO the
help OF the Lord against the mighty" in
this conflict, or cease to be recognized as
the true church; We the undersigned res
pectfully call upon the Christian prohibit
tionists who have-1st, a definite idea OF
what the attitude of the church should be
towards this diabolical "trafiic in human
blood; 2d, a firm conviction that the
church is not living up to that idea; and
3d, either a remedy TO suggest for this
attitude OF the church, or determination
TO find one--to meet in the City OF New
York on Tuesday aud Wednesday, Sep. 10
and 20, 1893, to discuss this subject, aud
to organize for definite work as Divine
Wisdom may dictate.

PEERS AND HOME RULE.
Earl Spencer Makes Tame Speech In
Favor of the Issue


Earl Spencer Makes q Tsme Speech In
Favor of the Issue.
LONDON, Sept. 6-The house Of lords
was filled with members and visitors
eager to hear the debate on the home rule
bill opened Although the Conservative
whips will not master their full force be-
fore the evening Of the final division, the
opposition had in attendance yesterday
five members to every one on the Liberal
side The galleries were filed with peer
esses. The strangers gallery was packed
to suffocation. -A.peculiar feature Of the
crowd was the conspicuousness Of the
clerical element
Earl Spencer. first lord of the admiralty,
moved the second reading of the home
rule bill. He made a tame speech, barren
OF original thought or expression. He
claimed for the government all honesty of
intentions in its work for the bill
credited the opposition with being equ
conscientious He reviewed az
length the history of Ireland since
union. All the so-called remedial meas
ures OF the successive governments, he
said, had come too late to help the country,
even had they not contained radical de-
fects which would have rendered them
useless early or late. His own personal
experience satisfied him that home rule
was the only possible solution of the Irish
question.
After dwelling upon the beneficent re-
suits to be expected from several provi-
sions of the bill Earl Spencer closed with
the declaration that the Gladstonian plan
OF home rule was calculated to satisfy all
aspirations Of Ireland to self-government
The Duke of Devonshire, Liberal
Unionist. moved the rejection OF the bill.
