POPULIsM N KANSAS.

Poor Kansas is bleeding again. this
time as the result Of electine n Populfst
Government. and she is likely to con-
tinue bleeding until she RECEIVERS her
senses ard casts the aforesaid Populist
Government into outer darkness. Our
dispatches tell us that open war exists
between the coal mine owners and the
strikers I'm Southwestern Kansas and
that the theatre Of war IS I'm Cherokee
county, where Kansas joins Missouri
Arkansas and the Indian Territory. Last
Thursday the strikers gathered in force
and placing 800 women and children in
front OF them. marched to the coal nitq
where a few men were stiu AZ vorl-

Now. while these men were actin,,
worse than savages, and were unlawfully
violating the rights Of the men who
were working for their living. by forcing
them TO desist, where was Governor
Lewelling? He not only expressed him
self In full sympathy with the strikers
but the Populist sheriff Of the county
went to the scene Of disorder the dav
after the fight, and when he did arrive
he sided with the mob, and refused ~
make any preparations for the defense
OF the working miners. We read in tho
chicago Herald that he said ba ,ro,i,,

OF the Duke getting all the American

ter. expressing himself I'm favor OF the
proposal TO raise fund. but regretting

pany with his brother to the United

poorer than the Duke Of Veragua. who

thought that he should be considered in

write to friends In the United States tell
ing them all the facts He expressed the
hope that the organizers of the fund
would see to 1t that he was given third
or a quarter OF whatever sum might be
collected
