Saturday is Inauguration day.
Mr.. Cleveland seems to be in fair
way to ''bust" his party squarely in
two and don't seem to care if he does.
Again we repeat, ''he laughs best
who laughs last" The next "deciS-
ion" will be by the people.
With the capitol in the center of
the state there would be no more talk
about dividing the state. Let the
seat of government be moved.
Mrs. Lease did not 60 to the L. s.
senate, but she went to Washington
and at the bimetalic meeting she i'm
proved the opportunity to rake old
John Sherman fore and aft.
, There are mutterings in the Demo
cratic ranks over the course Cleye-
land is pursuing and it would not be
Surprising if the party should be
badly divided by the next presiden-
tial election,
1t has been arranged for President
Harrison and Mr.. Cleveland to ride
down Pennsylvania avenue next Sat
nrday in the finest turnout this cOun-
try has ever seen. There is nothing
too good for the gOld-bug pets.
Nobody is surprised at the decision
Of the supreme court except those
who had hopes that a Republican
Judge might yet be found who could
rise above party prejudices and de-
eide according to law and justice.
Everybody should now be satisfied
that even supreme judges are unable
to rise above partisan bias. We fail
to call to mind single instance
where majority of such a tribunal
decided adverse to the wish of party
leaders.
North Dakota has an independent
Democratic U. S. senator, the result
of combination of Republicans,
Democrats and POpuiists. The west
will no longer be represented by a
solid Republican delegation in con-
g7cSS.
The POpulist house has done an I'M
mense amount of work since it has
been free from the annoyance of the
Douglass mob. The people will re-
turn all faithful workers, but will
eyerlastingly down the obstruction
lists.
In view Of the fact that every one
is fearful of cholera getting a foot
hold in this country, it behOOyes ev-
cry one owning or occupying prop
erty to thoroughly clean and dislnfect
their premises. An ounce Of preyen-
tiOn is worth pound Of cure. Clean
up.
The railroad hirelings and law-de-
flying officers Of Topeka are not nearly
so belicOse since the movement to re
m'yc the capital his t ken share.
Some of them are even sorry that
they advised the assassination Of the
governor. Topeka may yet find out
that it is not the state of Kansas nor
Il controlling part of it.
The Republican papers seem to
take delight in heaping all kinds of
abuse and ridicule upon the Populist
members of the legislature. In their
wild, vindictive and unreasonable at
tackS they seem to lose sight of the
fact that they are making the farmers
and laboring men more determined
than ever in the work of reform they
have undertaken. So mote il be.
The Republican papers deliberately
lie when they say the guards attempt
ed to keep members of the Douglass
house out of Representative hall.
They plainly told them that all
members of the legislature would be
admitted. This was not what they
wanted. They wanted to fill the
state house with a mob of toughS and
deadbeats, who had no business in
the state, much less in the state
house.
The sO-called straight-Out Demo
Gratis are receiving precious little
sympathy from the fusion element of
their party. They show more dispo-
sition to play square into the hands
of their old enemy, the Republicans,
than to uphold and perpetuate the es-
tablished principles Of their party.
