proceedings. Whether this treaty
will be adhered to by the republicans
remains TO be seen. If it is not sd-
hered to then more trouble will fol-
low, and that soon.
Interest in this matter is not con-
fined to Kansas. AS every true Pop
ulist believes, it ls a struggle between
organized capital and the industrial
Glasses. And if it again comes to a
question of arms, let it come. The
men who have spent half their lives
in weary, unrequited toll can endure

nothing to lose, but all honest men
and women have something to hope
for.

would be called out to preserve the
peace. To cheer up those whose
conscience was weighed down with
feeling Of guilt, Welch shouted in
tone denoting the utmost assurance,
''Never mind, I'll fx'em," then rush
ing to telephone called for the Office
Of the Santa Fe law department.
''Mr. Peck" he commanded, 81 want
you to order out all the shop men you
can spare, to protect this hall" What
the answer was has never been pub
lished, and probably never will be,
but Mr.. Welch seemed to be very well
satisfied with it.
The shopmen were not turned out
for military duty. Whether the claw
department" concluded it would be a
bad thing to undertake, or whether
the order was rescinded, we are un-
able to state. But it is safe to say
that not 5 per cent. Of the whole force
would have obeyed such orders if
they had received them.
We have contended that while the
organization of wealth is a menace to
the welfare of the people, it is not
fair or reasonable to charge that any
one company is responsible for the
political outrsges the people are en-
during. Yet this incident so COM
pletely exposed the hand the mob
intended to play that it will here
after be useless for them to try to
convince the public that corporate
power is not the propelling force of
the republican party. And they never
will forgive the Shawnee county law
yer for making the expose.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-22

The spirit that removed" Presi-
dent Garfield from his position and
from the earth Is the same spirit that
prevailed in republican caucus held
in Topeka last Thursday night, when
a republican editor declared that the
most necessary thing to do was to get
rid of Gov. Lewelling. A Topeka
banker who was present, grasped the
idea at once, and his heartstrings
frightened and relaxed with an awful
apprehension. Not that he sympa-
thized with the governor or his fam
lily, or considered for a moment the
welfare Of the people Of Kansas. Not
for any such reason. But this Topeka
mans heartstrings are his purse
strings. He owns a great deal of
city property, and as the awful sppre-
hension dswned upon him he bravely
arose and replied: "Why that would
never do. If such thing we're done
Topeka would lie in ruins before to-
morrow night" And again his great
soul shuddered with emotion. It was
not human life he cared for, but his
property. Yet J. K. Hudson and P. I.
Bonebrake are denouncing the Popu-
lists for their 'anarchistic utterances."
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-22

1T Is to be hoped that the sentl-
mental rebels of Ell Dorado and To-
peka will see the day when they will
call upon the state for protection and
be reminded Of the time in 1893,
when they heaped honor upon the
head Of a traitor for refusing to obey
the command Of his superior when
called upon to protect the property of
the state. Ell Dorado people have
raised a fund to buy medal for Col.
Hughes.

As TO the matter o. preserving the
peace, the question is whether or not
an executive officer, like governor, or
q peace officer, sheriff, shall wait until
q mob begins killing, before taking
steps to quell them. If a mob armed
to the teeth and threatening openly
to kill whoever tries to prevent them
from breaking doors and destroying
public property, does not justify q
governor in calling for aid, then our
governor was wrong and the sheriff of
Shawnee county should not be in jail.

EXPOSED THEIR HAND.

Many times have the innocent and
unsophisticsted republicans (what
few there sre) become incensed at
the assertion made by Populists that
this is q life and death struggle be-
tween the people and the corpora
tlons, and that the republican side
was being supported by the railroads,
telegraph, land, loan and other COM
panies, together with the national
banks, all Of which fear the enact
ment Of some legislation that may
curtail their power to rob and plumber
the people Of the state. Populists
have not made the statements with
out any Foundation. They have too
often seen the effect of that potent
influence which carries elections
against the will of the majority and
makes Legislators diSobey the wishes
Of their constituents. They have seen
the employees persuaded and coerCed
into voting a republican ticket after
expressing their disapproval of re-
publican methods. They know that
the tactics Of the corporations are not
to violate law so long as they can have
laws made to their order or prevent
the enactment Of laws that do not
suit them.
While the people have viewed
these things with alarm, republicans
have Indignantly hooted at the idea
of their party being controlled by
such influences. They have assured
the people that while they as individ-
uals might ask and grant favors of
the corporations which the alarmists
thought were menscing the state,
they as q party would see that the
state kept it's heel on the corpora
tions. Such assurances would be
satisfactory if circumstances did not
prove their falseness.
r. B. Welch is so prominent in his
party that he almost secured the
nomination for attorney general, and
would have succeeded only for the
fact that he was county attorney OF

tion was held The day the repub-
lican mob broke the doors and took

ON~ASS
Kansas last week is even now rever-
berating through every part Of the
United States. And while 1T is fol-
lowed by a sigh Of relief over the
prospects of continued peace, the
events we have just witnessed cause
a blush of shame to mount the cheek
of every citizen who loves his state
and glories in the patriotism of he1
people.
Men who have boasted of their 10y
atty to government, who have pro-
claimed from the house tops that the
one test of good citizenship was re-
spect and obedience to law, have
thrown off the mask and stepped out
in open and high handed rebellion
against the authorities of the state
have insulted the governor, melted
insurrection, ,lnstigsted mutiny among
military officers, raised mobs, defied
law, destroyed public property and
threatened human life. All this In
sunny Kansas, and all for and by the
once great republican party, whose
leaders have for weeks been laying
plans intended to restore them to
power or transform Kansas into a
rebellioHs hell.
But the transformation scene has
been happily sverted by the action OF
men in Office who have remembered
their obligation, and have been faith
full to the trust imposed in them. Had
the new administration been as heed
less of the public welfare as the lead
ers Of that party which was driven
from power at the last election, blood
might have flown in the streets OF
Topeka and human bodies might have
been buried in the RUNS Of the CAPT
tol.
While it is hoped that all violence
has been sverted, the question as to
what has been gained or lost is in the
public mind. Unquestionably the
Populist's cause has lost nothing,
They were contending for nothing
except to be let alone, that their legis-
lsture might go on and transact busl-
ness The republicans would not
have it so, although the burden Of
their demand was that some act that
could be tested in court should be
passed. They went beyond the
bounds Of fairness and decencY when
they attempted the arrest of an Off
Ger Of the legal house. Had they sue
