MAoUNE's RAWLINGS.

The National Economist of the
18th publishes five column article,
the substance of which is that the
executive committee Of the National
F. A. & l. u. had no authority to
sever its connection with the Econo-
mist as the official organ Of the order,
and it proposes to remain an official
organ any way. This is like George
7. Anthony and W. M. Mitchell hold
ing on to the Office of railroad COM
missioner in Kansas. If DR.. Macune
could only get his case into the Kan
sas supreme court now he would be
fixed.
In the same issue March 49, he
states that it was a part OF the con-
spiracy (he don't say what conspiracy
for the editor of the ADVOCATE to be
made editor of a new organ to be
started with money secured from the
silver barons when the executive COM
mittee turned down the Economist.
The ADVOCATE does not propose to
waste any space in the denial of base
less charges made by the Economist.
The executive committee can state if
they desire to do so and if they con-
slider the matter of sufficient impor-
tance, whether there is any truth in
the above statement or not. We only
desire to call attention to the fact
that the only answer DR.. Mscune can
make to the evidence that has been
published of his crookedness, ls the
despicable whine, you're another" :"
If his charges are true, how does it
help his case? What has he to say of
the Clayton correspondence?

ALLIANCE HEADQUARTERS AT THE
WORLDS FAIR,

Through the efforts of Bro, j. H.
Mcdowell, of Tennessee, two connect
ing rooms have been secured in the
live stock pavilion for Alliance head
quarters. They will be fitted up for
the accommodation of the brother
hood; and reform papers will be kept
there for the use Of those who may
call Editors of reform papers every
where should make q note of this
and send a bundle of their papers
each week directed as above. Ar
rsngements will be made to take sub
scriptlons and advertising for all Of
our papers during the fair. Editors
and publishers will do well to remem-
ber this.

government.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-I see your able paper
predicts the breaking up Of party lines, and
the union Of the eastern wing Of the two old
parties. In such case should we not be
ready to absorb the anti-monopoly element
of eachp The people need relief now. Can
we carry the congress of 1894? Yes, if we
drop two measures from our platform. The
sub treasury scheme and government own
ership Of railroads. Both are good in the
estimation of great many Of our people
who think they had better not be urged now.
We don't need to put all we believe in our
platform. The followers Of John Martin
will stay with US in Kansas if we 80 modify
our platform, and thousands Of conserve
tive men in both old parties throughout the
south and west will flock to our standard
with such a modification proclaimed. Why
should not our party have a state confer
ence to advise about the situation? We
must carry the coming elections in 1893.
Why not amslgamate with the followers Of
Senator Martin and make victory sure2
Usage Mission, Kas. X. A. BURGAN.
We agree with our correspondent
concerning the propriety of being
ready to absorb the anti-monopoly
element of the two old parties when
the general disruption occurs which
is sure to take place in the not dis
tant future; but we are not prepared
to agree with him as to the means by
which that absorption is to be brought
about.
So far as the sub-treasury scheme
is concerned, it is a mere matter of
detail. The main proposition in
which the sub-treasurY plan has been
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-29

the bill. Is not this a fair presump-
tion?
But there is still another fact which
republicans will find more difficult to
explsin satisfactorily than all the
rest. The Greenlee bill was intro
duced in the Douglass house early in
the session and referred to the proper
committee; and there its slumber was
undisturbed Notwithstanding all the
efforts of those republican members
who honestly desired some whole
some railroad Legislation to have it
reported back to the house, until the
two houses were united and enough
Populist members were added to the
committee to create q majority in
favor of submitting a report. After
the committee was thus reconstructed
the Populist members were willing to
agree upon almost any kind of a bill
or any kind of q report only so that
the question should be brought before
the house, trusting that there might
be republican members enough in the
house who would unite with the Pop
ulists to pass bill that would be Of
some benefit to the people. This, in
fact, was the case; and the corpora
tion contingent found that the only
way such legislation could be defeated
was by failure of the joint committee
of the two houses to agree Hence
the failure of the whole bill.
It will be seen from the foregoing
that republican pretenses upon this
subject are hypocriticsl and mislead-
ing. They are all buncombe and de-
signed to deceive. Il was to defeat
railroad Legislation that the Douglass
house was organized, and it was with
the same object in view that court
which is a mere tool of the corpora
tions usurped the authority never be-
fore assumed by any court on earth
to decide upon the organization of
the legislative branch of the state
government.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-29

peka, Wichita and some other cities
of Kansas republicans have their city
tickets and are making their usual
dirty and conscienceless campaign
against opposing candidates. They
are standing up for their respective
cities now.
