NOTES AND COMMENT.

J. r. Sovereign, Of Iowa, has been
elected to succeed General Master Work
mon Powderly in the Knights Of Labor.
The daily literature Of to-day is largely
made up Of tariff talk. Now, II the pa
pers can only get congress to spend all
the next session tinkering the tariff they
will be happy.
The state convention OF the Alabama
Jeffsrsonisn democrats is called to meet
at Birmingham, February 8. This is the
same date and place 61ed for the PSo-
ple's party state convention.
In Kansas City, No., the National Wa
ter Works company is one Of the strong
est factors in city politics. The COM
psny will have it's own candidates for
mayor and counCilmen next election. No
wonder the city wants to abolish cor
porstion ownership of water works.
About $50 men employed at the
Worlds Fair grounds packing exhibits
were discharged Saturday to make room
for Italians who are willing to work at
cheaper wages. OF course the Colum-
bian guards were used to protect the
foreign labor, just as the tariff protects
American labor.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the alleged rottenness in the terri
torsl government of Oklahoma have fled
serious charges against District Attor-
ney Speed and Associate Justice Bur-
ford. They are charged with using their
official positions for private gain and to
make political capital. They will prob
ably be removed.

given them, therefore their cases will be
disposed Of by the Legislature itself in
case an extra session is called.
There was absolutely nothing in the
story Of two weeks ago, to the effect that
meeting was held in Kansas City by
Kansas Populists for the purpose OF re-
organizing the party. An investigation
discloses the fact that all the men al
legged to have been there were some
where else. The romance from Wash
ingtOn about John Davis and Senator
PETER favoring a silver party is equally
as false. II these lies were worth motto
ing the reform press would be kept busy
denying them.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-12-06

ago the Capital said editOrislly that
Mr.. Cleveland would make his first
mistake when he should depart from
the policy of his predecessor. He
has not departed from it yet. The
only great measure he has succeeded
in carrying to q successful issue thus
far is the repeal Of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law, and this
he could never have accomplished
without the republican vote. Fur
thermore, the Capital has been an
ardent supporter of this measure.
The fact that a bankers panic was
purposely precipitsted upon the
country in order to coerce congress
into the adoption of an unpopular
measure does not constitute the cause
of the hard times nor the cause of
the universal complaint among the
people. What ie the matter with the
labor market and the market for la.
boris products? Are these Bstisfsc-
tory to the Capital? And are they
essentially different from what they
were one year ago? More men are
idle, it is true, but this is only a con-
sequence Of the continuance of the
policy which has been pursued by
the government for the past thirty
years, and not in consequence Of a
change of it. The Capital presumes
too much upon the ignorance and
credulity of the public when it talks
of the great prosperity Of the country
up to the beginning Of the present
administration. It furthermore stul-
titles itself by charging present con-
ditions to an administration which
has thus far received It's unqualified
endorsement. Great is consistency

Peoples Party League Rooms,

The Peoples Party League Of Shawnee
County has secured a suit Of four hand
some and commodious rooms in the
Office block and last Friday evening
dedicated them to the cause Of progress
and reform by inviting the Womsn's
Progressive Political club, Of Topeka, to
unite with them in a genuine old-fash-
ioned house warming. President Noah
Allen, of the league, welcomed the
guests in q neat address which was
responded TO Mrs. Otis, president Of the
club. The remainder Of the evening was
devoted to five minute talks by men,
bers Of both organizations and invited
guests, interspersed with music and reci-
tstions.
One of the rooms is fitted up for
reading room and supplied with several
hundred OF the best papers Of the coun-
try, and the place bids fair to become
radiant center Of reform light: 1t is ex-
pected that visiting Populists from other
parts Of the state will make this their
Mecca for political pilgrims, and they
may always be sure Of hearty welcome
Would that every county in the state
could be as we'll equipped to lead the
misguided from the paths Of the old to
the glorious highway Of the new in civil
lization.

ABOUT KANSAS.

Governor Lewelling has been sick for
about ten days, but is able to be up
again. He was taken sick while in Ar
kansas.
The annual state encampment Of the
G. A. r. will be held in Newton next
February. National Commander Adams
is expected to be present.
J. II. Arnold has filed his bond and
taken charge Of the Topeka postoffice,
Strange to say, Eugene Wolff, a fusion
ist, has been chosen as his assistant.
The Morrill, republicans, that is, those
who favor the nomination Of Morrill, for
governor, held a caucus in Topeka last
week. Among them are Ex-Governor
Humphrey, Cy Leland and j. M. Simp-
son.
There seems to be trouble at the
Olsthe deaf.mute institution. The board
has dismissed the steward and mstron,
T. L. Dixon and wife, and they in turn
threaten to expose the bad management
of the institution and Mrs. Leases po-
liticsl trickery. Evidently, something
needs exposing:
VIM. A. Phillips, Of Sslins, died at Ft.
Gibson, /. T., November 30. He assisted
in raising the Third Kansas regiment,
and was aftsrwsrd major of the First In

congress from Kansas, and besides max

was author Of the the book "Lsnd, La

At the last county election, j. L. Cook
was elected representative in Cove

EDITORIAL IMBEOILITY.

The Capital, in it's issue Of Decem-
Der /, commenting upon a recent edi-
torial in the ADVOCATE, speaks of the
prosperity that everywhere prevailed
in the United States prior TO the cleo
ton of Grover Cleveland with the
sublime idiocy which ChsraCterizes
all It's utterances. Only q short time
