SONG OF THE OFF1CE-sEEKERs.

Never mind what's your condition
Or your self deported mission
There's government position
That's a-waitin' for you sure!
If the enemy you collared-
If you led the boys or follered
And got hoarse because you hollered,
Pass your plate and call for more!
If the banner you have tOted
Till the full returns were quoted,
If your reat-grandfather voted
Like veteran of yOre;
When the good news was a-telling
And the chorus was a-swelling,
If you did lot of yelling,
Pass your plate and call for more!
Oh, our troubles-they are over,
And we're just knee deep in clover
Aud we're holding on to Grover
While he's entering the door,
And the rascals with their cheatin'-
They ars going out a skeetin',
Red hot, and still heatin'-
Pass your plate and call for more!

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

An old friend of Judge John Martin
met him on the street and said: Judge,
you are undoubtedly conversant with
the history of the French revolution.
You will remember that the leaders who
first started the plan to guillotine the
king and the mobiles and the rich be-
cause they had property, were after
ward guillotined by the mob which they
started. Robespierre fell victim to the
same knife and his blood flowed as he
had caused the flowing of the blood of
thousands OF others. The French revo-
luton is being re-enacted in this state
as nearly as the difference of the two
countries and the difference between the
eighteenth and the nineteenth century
will permit. Judge, all that you ever
was politically was from the hands Of
the republican party; and you are more
responsible than any other one man for
the fact that the element which COM
posed the murderers in the city of Paris
during the French revolution has now
control in of this state. That element
has already turned upon you, one of it's
leaders, and guillotined you by sitting
down upon your aspirations for United
States senator, thus aping the French
revolution. History repeats itself in
Kansas now" The judge turned white,
bowed and walked away, as did his
friend

which they had NO respect, whose prfn-
ciples were repulsive, and which they
could not do otherwise than condemn
and desPise. They now have their re-
ward. It consists Of few electoral
votes wrested from the republicans,
which are Of no use to them, and for
which Grover Cleveland does not thank
them. These, and the loss OF their own
self-respect, are all they have to show
for the sacrifice made. Now, at the time
when they had helped to obtain share
of the spoils they hoped to win, their
allies cast them off and tell them they
have no further use for them. Con-
gresham Simpsons notice to Chairman
Jones that henceforth the two organiza-
tons must be strangers and enemies is
clear and distinct, and undoubtedly ex-
presses the feelings of the populists.
The democrats ought TO be, and no
doubt are, heartily ashamed of them
selves for the course they have pursued,
and the outcome should be lesson to
them. 1t does not pay to barter prin-
ciple for spoils- especially to party
that cannot be trusted to deliver the
spOils

LEWELLING'S DEFENSE.

The governor of Kansas has deemed
it necessary to make public statement
iustifying his position. The defense
offered by Mr.. Lewelling is in itself an
evidence that he is in the wrong, and
his labored efforts to prove that he is
acting in an utterly disinterested man
ner show that he feels unsafe in his po-
sition.
Boiled down, his statement is based
upon personal feeling, without regard
to law or right. Starting from premise
that he is not the Judge of eligibility Of
members of the house, he determines
that the republican majority is illegal
and the republican members we're not
elected. In other words, he sits as
Judge of election and determines the
case from bissed and partisan stand
point, even after he claims that he is
not supposed to be able to tell who is
or is not legally member OF the house.
He Gays that he conceived for good
and satisfactory reasons" the legality of
the Dunsmore house, and for these per-
sonal reasons, which he does not deem
public property, he recognizes the pop
ulist house to the exclusion OF the legal
majority of republicans. Instead of be-
ing governor of the state OF Kansas, he
has placed himself on record as being
the tool of party, and allows himself to
be used by that party to do revolu-
tionary act. The returns show that
there is legal majority of republicans
in the lower house of the legislature. II
Lewelling cannot go behind the returns
he has no right to say that the populist
organization is the right one unless he
does so solely for the purpose of defeat
ing the will Of the people whom he is
supposed to serve.
Taken as a whole, the so-cslled state
ment of position is a weak and puerile
document, and will bring neither credit
nor renown to the man who assumes to
be dictator in the crisis that has come
to the people of Kansas.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE FIRM.

From the New York Press.
There is but one way for the republic
cans to meet the anarchists who are
endeavoring, in defiance Of the constitu-
ton of Kansas, to usurp legislative au-
thority. They should be met with firm,
uncompromising resistance. The repub-
licans of the Kansas house of represen-
tatives should make no bargain. They
should enter into no arrangement abat-
ing their lawful claims The would-be
usarpers will not dare to go to extrem-
tiles. They will not dare to do violence
to the men who have been legally elect
ed to the legislature.
Reason must eventually assert it's
sway, and the influence of aroused pub
lie sentiment must be irresistible Kan
sas overcame a great danger when it
drove slavery from it's borders The
present attempt to establish usurpation
at the state capital is not less danger
GUS to liberty than the attempt of the
shareholders to add Kansas to their do
main. It is danger which can be over
come only by stern maintenance of the
legal rights of the legal house of repre-
aentatives

Kansas since they have turned their at
tention to raising wheat. This week
Joseph Minor, farmer living north
west, came in and paid of mortgage
of $1,000 on his farm. He had 1900
bushels Of small grain and sold about
$4,000 worth of cattle. T. Griffith, also
living in the same vicinity, raised $500
bushels Of small grain without hiring
any help, and exchanged work with
neighbors for harvesting and threshing.
He also paid off a good-sized mortgage
which has been helping hold down the
claim. Next year the crops of both
these gentlemen promise to be larger
than ever, and there will not be any
mortgage to pay.

STATE AFFAIRS
And Capital City News Of State
Interest.
Kansas Exhibit.

NdnSoS GNntDI6s
The board Of managers Of the Kansas
exhibit at the worlds fair have made q
financial staten mt showing receipts
and expenditures.
The statement is a model in that it
gives full information in little space; it
is a remarkable document in this re-
spect. A complete history Of the work
done from its inception by action of the
state board Of agriculture to January
10, 1893, is SO tersely made as to occupy
a few pamphlet pages; yet no essential
fact or feature seems to have been
sighted, but each finds its place in that
consecutive order and detail which
would best give the reader correct and
permanent impressions.
The boards finances seem to have
been prudently handled, as with only
S18,634.73 received from local and
county subscriptions and Columbian
societies, the great work that has been
done leaves the board with only $780,
I2842 liabilities.
There are many counties that have
not paid any of the amounts appor-
toned to them, aggregating 100000;
some counties have paid the first 10
per cent OF their apportionment and no
more, while few are credited with cash
for the whole amount.
Seventy-six Columbian associations
have been organized for the purpose Of
collecting funds and exhibits. All Of
these solicited and obtained subscrip-
tions, but only fifty have collected and
paid in money. They generally collected
exhibits, which, put with those secured
by the offer of premiums and those m
ceived from fair associations in 1891
and 1892 will enable the state to pre-
sent display which will be credit to
Kansas.
Special exhibits in mining, women's,
educational, Agricultural college, State
Historical society, Normal school and
other departments are in encouraging
progress.

REBELLION AND ANARCHY.

Hon. E. W. Hoch, speaker pro tenn
of the honse, is reported as saying:
1--WE are right and We will win. To
doubt is to doubt the perpetuity of our
government. There will be no compro-
mise of our rights; no concessions in
volving surrender Of any position we
have taken. We contend not for party
but for country. We will fight it out
on this line if it takes the entire ses-
sion.
'sThe battle being waged by the re-
publicans of the house," continued MIR.
Hoch, sis not for mere republican su-
premacy. The populists have elected
the state officers and state senate; I
have all along regretted that the entire
responsibility of state government, leg
islative as we'll as executive, was not i'm
posed upon them in the election of a
majority of the members of the house.
IN this, many, believe most of our
members agree with me. The contest,
therefore, is not, repeat, for republi-
can control of the house. It is con-
test for the supremacy of constitutional
and statutory law, and particularly for
the maintenance Of the basic principle
of our governmental right of the
majority to rule. This fundamental
principle is as much involved in ma
jority of one as in majority of a mill
ION. Our whole governmental fabric is
involved in the issue. Let not this
great central fact in the controversy be
obscured by any petty, partisan side
issues.
THE legal methods of Identifying the
legislative majority are clearly defined
in the law" said Mr.. Hoch. with the
exception of the provision for deciding
ties, they are generally wise and good.
These methods may sometimes work
hardships. as do all human enactments,
but I have yet to find member on the
other side willing to substitute for these
enactments law authorizing Ben Rich
or any other so-called chief clerk to
remedy alleged wrongs OF this kind by
electing ten or more men with lead
pencil. This new reform will hardly be
embodied in a bill, even by one of its
greatest benefciaries not even by the
gentleman who was defeated by over
1000 votes, but who was solemnly
Sworn in as a member of the house be-
fore his republican opponent was un-
seated, by Mr.. Rich's lead pencil.
$50 long as it was supposed that the
opposition would cast sixty-two votes
and the republicans sixty three, the de-
Gliding vote having been obtained by
lottery in tie case, there was some lit
tie excuse for populist indisposition to
surrender" said Mr.. Hoch, 'but since
four of these supposed opposition votes
have been continuously voting with the
republicans, giving the latter sixty
seven votes, or nine majority, the action
of the fifty eight populists in resisting
the rule of majority SO decisive as this
has been is absolutely indefensible. No
fair and candid man can defend this
revolutionary conduct. 1t is rebellion.
1t is anarchy"

with large handkerchief saturated with
chlorotorm. He held his hand over her
mouth to prevent her making an outcry
until the chloroform took effect. Bereft
Of her senses, she claims to know moth
ing of her whereabouts until her senses
were restored by physician after two
hours Of continuous effort, at the home
of her mother, though fully an hour and
half had elapsed from the time she
was seized by the man to the moment
she fell unconscious at her mothers
door. No marks OF violence could be
detected on her person, though she had
been robbed of IS and gold breastpin

FIRST ON EARTH.

From the Topeka Capital.
The first ten days of ''the first peo-
pies party government on earth" have
been full to the brim and running over
with reform" The governor has been
guilty of treason and malfeasance in
Office. The senate has defed the statute
commanding joint session. The adju-
tant general has established new tyr
amy in the form Of deputy Rdjutants
general" for which he is liable to GRIM
inal prosecution. The clerk of the house
recognized by the senate and governor
has been guilty of forgery, and the re-
form Lawmakers have been exclusively
occupied in violating law. At this rate,
two years of the first peoples party
government on earth" will leave this
state what it was generation ago-the
Great American Desert.
