revolution that have so seriously Threat
ensd the peace and good name OF Kan
sas. There can be no apology nor any
reconsideration for them.
Partisan zeal, party passion, personal
ambition, with the desire to hold Office
and WELD power are all strong incen-
tives to extreme action; but cold blood
ed legal quibbling, prostitution of legal
forms, and the melting of mob power
under the false color of law, by men
acting as counsel for conspiracy, re-
auires a character dangerous to public
order and constitutional government.
Men cannot excuse themselves by as
suming the mantle. of attorneys-for
the counselor of treason is the greater
traitor. Brute courage or reckless
action may come from temperament,
but this is generally excited by the cool
cunning of wilfuI crime. And history
will make this distinction.

Kansas Live Stock.

Secretary Mohler's biennial report
will show that the number of horses in
Kansas has increased since 1890, 49,
464; milk COWS have fallen off in num-
Der from 674,705 in 1890 to 631, 1856 in
1892 "a loss Of 1879.
''Other CATTLE" which class is largely
made up of cattle raised in other states
and brought here to be fed for market,
are always variable in number. From
1875 up to 1889 there has been steady
increase in the number of this class OF
cattle. The number reported in 1875
was 1922; the number in 1889, l.
738,436 head; in 1890 the number fell
to 1,696,O81; in 1891 it was 1,770,591,
and in 1892, 6,O78. 1868 head. The corn
crop in Kansas governs this matter.
Sheep have fallen of 41,OS6 in two
years. There has been regular yearly
decrease since 1884, when there were
1,206, ,297 of them in the state.
Hogs show a large falling off in num-
bers. From 1875 there was a steady
increase, excepting in 1881 up to 1885,
when the number reported reached g.
461,522 head. From 1885 the number
steadily fell off until 1888, when l, ,433,-
245 were reported 1000, 900 less
than 1885. In 1890 they increased to
2,192, ,231 head, and in 1892 they fell to
1,6O5,O98, loss of 587, 133 head, or
nearly 27 per cent.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Wellington Standard: There is to be
built in Anson Free Will Baptist
church. The funds for building it are
being raised by subscription.
GAYLORD Herald: The revival meet
ings continue at the Congregational
church with increasing interest. Addi-
tional seats have been lplaced in the
church to accommodate the people.
Atchison Champion: It is the inten-
ton of the Presbyterians to build new
church at Round Prairie in the spring.
The old church is in dilapidated con-
dition and is liable to fall at any time.
It is one of the historic landmarks of
Atchison county.
Emporia Republican: The services
at the Congregational church were well
attended. In the forenoon the sacra-
ment of the Lords supper was observed
and eight new members were added to
the church roll. In the evening the
house was also we'll filed, and an excel
lent discourse was delivered by the
pastor.
At Emporia chorus of sixty voices
was organized, which is to be increased
to not less than eighty, to compete for
the prize offered at Hutchinson for the
Worlds Columbian fair. Mrs. Charles
S. Cross, member of the state commit
tee, organized it. Hon. VIM. Martin
dale was selected for president, and
Prof. D. o. James for musical director.
Some of the best voices in the state are
at Emporia, and as the citizens have
guaranteed the necessary financial back
ing, Emporia will undoubtedly be heard
from.
Dodge City Globe-Republican: The
Free Methodist meetings are still pro-
crossing, with crowded houses every
night, and new conversions occur daily.
The Christian church has engaged Nc
Carty's rink in which to hold series OF
revival meetings, and an eminent divine
of the Baptist faith preached Wednes
day evening at the Baptist church. He
says arrangements are pending for
noted evangelist to come aud occupy
the pulpit in that building. We there
fore hope to see three religious meet
ings in full power of the Lord at the
same time.

Must Run Out.

From the Kansas City, No. Journal.
When a boil, an abscess or q felon
has been gathering for long time, till
the nerves are all demoralized, and the
lance is at last applied, the relief that
comes is exactly in degree with the
freedom of discharge. The more matter,
bad matter or ''pus," as the doctors
call it, runs out, the better the patient
feels and the sooner comes recovery.
This is the rationale of the discharge
of invectives, bitterness and abuse in
the Kansas senate on Tuesday, during
the consideration Of the resolutions
heapin0 wrath on the supreme court.
The bile and bitterness had been gath
erinp for seven weeks, and when the
lance OF the supreme court punctured
the thing the discharge had to come
before the healing process OF common
sense could begin.
It is not the part of right to be pro-
scriptive, nor Of good sense to be un-
charitable, and we have no doubt that
there are large number Of populists
who have had little relish for the posi-
ton they were placed in by their leaders
and advisers. 1t is great pity that
more did not follow the lead of Senator
Taylor, Of WYandotte, both for them
selves and the state.
There were some men connected with
this movement that better things ought
to have been expected from. Breiden-
thai, Clemens and Lewelling we have
known of only since the eruption OF last
year: but Webb and Doster knew better
and are more responsible than any
men in the state for the snsrchy and

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Winchester Star: A gang of bridge
builders have been working on the
Kansas Central between here and Valley
Falls this week.
It is not thought that any changes
will be made in the traffic department Of
the Santa Fe road, and the same policy
will be carried out as heretofore, as it
has generally been conceded that Mr..
Reinhart has had great deal to say in
regard to what the policy has been in
the past.
Emporia special: The passenger
coach of the Howard branch Of the
Santa Fe road was thrown from the
track near Olpe, and quite number OF
passengers were seriously injured. Mrs.
/. e. Lambert, wife Of the postmaster
of Emporia, was badly cut and bruised
about the head, and Mrs. Ben Whelden,
L. G. Noise and Percy r. Noise were
badly bruised or cut. A number OF
others were less seriously injured, all OF
whom reside in this city.
Topeka special: A private telegram
was received here from s. ii. 81. Clark,
of the Missouri Pacific, who is in New
York, announcing that George r. Peck,
general solicitor of the Santa Fe, would
be elected president of the company at
the meeting of directors. The telegram
from Mr.. Clark was received with much
satisfaction by MIR. Peck's friends in
Kansas. In an interview with Santa
Fe official he stated that Mr.. Peck did
not desire the presidency and preferred
to remain in his position as general
solicitor, it being suited to his tastes
and desires, and that MIR. Reinhart
would be chosen president. MIR. Peck
could have had the presidency, but hia
ambitions were fully satisfied with the
general solicitorship, which ne can hold
as long as he desires it.
