In his dealings with political allies aud OPP
ponents Count Taaffe is fppant and cynical
to a degree. He transacts the most impor-
tant business as if it were practical joke
If politics were a comedy and political life a
schoolboy's entertainment, the tone he
adopts would be perfectly in place. He
seems constitutionally incapable of treat
ing the most momentous questions in Sc
rious, sober spirit. This tone, which he has
succeeded in imparting to others, consti
tutes an essential element of his tactics
1t renders politicians more tractable and
compliant, accustoming them to make light
of the concessions they are called upon to
make and to minimize the advantages they
neglect to secure.
But in truth this levity and cynicism are
but surface deep. The few who know the
real man as he appears when the parlia-
mentary mask of folly is laid aside find
the contrast pathetic almost tragic. Solicit
tude for the well being of the empire is
audible in his every word, visible in his
very look and to the mind of the observer
who had been comparing him to cavalier
of the restoration "reminiscences are sug-
gested of the heroism Of Junius Brutus and
the energy Of Schiller's Fiesco. Attach
ment to his sovereign and his country is
the one moving force of his being, and its
intensity is that of the old highland clans
man or of the extinct Irish wolf dog.

almost turns back again upon itself, and
you see how appropriate is the description
of the Horseshoe, and thinking on this

his reply May /. Although the time was
limited, the news was well circulated
throughout the country, and as o result
the meeting as above noted. The ALI
snCe has the use of the largest hall in
the clty for its meetings, but on this oC-
casion it was wholly inadequate, and the
opera house was engaged and was filed
to overhoWing; and to give the boys some
idea Of it's size, will say that the rspubli-
can papers, in speaking Of the building
after the advent OF the only beautiful
Chester Ichsbod Long who made a
speech therein during the campaign,
said that it was the largest building Of
it's kind in the Seventh district; and Of
course the republican papers never tell a
lie.
Brother Scott made one of his chsrsc-
tcristiC speeches, bristling with facts and
sharp cuts that will not soon be for
gotten bV any one who had the plessurs
of hearing him.
II any one had any doubts about our
being very much alive, the meeting last
Saturday would certainly have dispelled
them.

From Georgia.

EDITOR ADVOCATED am proud to
see the gallant fight you are making
against the corruptionists Of both old
parties, and you are eminentlY right in
your opposition to all fusion. 1t were
better to be whipped in a fair fight for
principle than to secure Office by COM
promising principle. Our principles are
correct and will ultimately prevail
against all opposition. The reformation
we seek is necessary to the preservation
of constitutional liberty on this conti-
nent. The leaders Of both the old
parties, as now constituted, have become
SO corrupt that it is impossible for any
law to be passed by congress, except for
the benefit OF corporation capitalists,
Wall street gamblers and their follow
ing. II congress pretends to pass a law
for the benefit Of the people, it is simply
"a promise to the ear to be broken to the
hope" as it is 80 construed as to work
against them in the courts; witness the
application of the anti trust law, as ad-
mini5tered 10y the federal judiciary in
those railroad strikes, where the DEGREES
Of the courts practically made the en-
ployes Of the railroads helpless slaves to
their taskmasters.
| believe that in the next presidential
election the Peoples party will sweep
the country, and the demands of the
Alliance and the platform Of the Peoples
party will become the established policy
Of the government.
You did much better In Kansas than
we did in Georgia in last fall elections,
but we had moro serious difficulties to
contend against than you can imagine,
much less measure and understand.
However, we will do better next time.
Our surroundings were very peculiar;
besides, all the machinery Of the election
was in the hands Of the democrats, and
they did not hesitate to use their power
30 as to swindle the reformsrs out Of
their just votes, and in many instances
would proclaim the danger Of negro
supremacy" and "the force bill" at one
moment and the next moment buy
negro votes and induce them By bribery
and intimidation TO vote many times un-
der assumed names. Many reformers in
Georgia, being spprehensive that we
might not be able to carry the election,
concluded to take what they considered
the less of the two evils, for they really
feared the 'tHorce bill" and NEGRO su-
promscy."

Worlds Fair,

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-Great is Chicago
and the Worlds Fsirl Chicago is twenty
four miles long and ten miles wide, and
contains about ss many inhabitants Ss
the state Of Kansas. She is the greatest
railroad center, live stock market and pri-
mary grain port in the world. She has the
tSllest business building in the world
the Masonic temple, 312 feet or twenty
one stories high, with q dozen million
dollar buildings. Indeed, nothing is
great in Chicago unless there is o million
behind it. The death rate is among the
lowest Of any large city in the world,
yet we cannot say that she is noted for
cleanliness. Strangers unfamiliar with
city life are liable to become confused
and are sstonished at it's magnificent
distances. When going to the 8S3, 3,0OO,-
600 fair, whose magnitude equals that Of
any other two worlds fairs combined,
and the selfish rush of crowdinR hu-
manity who are not the least bit cOurts-
GUS, and the cold, business-like air of
it's citizens, is not very inviting. Hence
people like to find a pleasant, homelike
place, retired from the rush and danger
Of the crowd, and all shsrpers and extor-
tioners who want to get rich out OF the
fair; whore screaming whistles do not
blow, cars do not continuously rumble.
and loaded wagons do not thunder along
the stony streets. Such plan has been
prepared by the Kansas Protective Asso-
citation; stopping off at Euglewood
station on the Rock Island railroad, two
miles straight west of the Sixty third
street entrance, instead OF going seven
miles way up town to come back for
nothing. To reach them 20 west one
block to Wentworth avenue cars, thence
by transfer to Sixtv-niuth street cars,
west one mile to No. 1926 May street,
where hundreds Of Kansas people have
CongregRted at an expense OF about 91.25
per day, having q good visit, rest with
their wives, sleeping and resting quietly
away from all noise and trouble, and
within twenty minutes ride of the fair
grounds. No person can begin to see all
the great fair inside of q week, and the
now warm weather and great progress in
opening up exhibits in the fair causes
crowds OF visitors; and as it progresses
there will be great rush for places, and
yet there are thousands of tall, elevated,
costly buildings prepared to entertain
10000 people q day, which does not
satisfy many who prefer only two-story
buildings. We advise people to wear
good, strong shoes, bring a rubber coat,
and wear strong clothes. No style is
needed. Indeed, there is far less style in
southern Chicago than in Topeka.

Offensive Partisanship Versus NOn-parti-
sanship,


EDITOR ADvocATE:--In their effort 70
hold on to certain lucrative and politCl-
cally influential positions in the public
institutions OF this state republicans
have suddenly very suddenly -- dis.
covered the beauties Of non-partisanship
as shown by the Populists leaving in
Office men who have for years been noted
as violent, unscrupulous and offensive
psrtissns.
That our public institutions, especially
our educational ones, should be con-
Quoted, as far as possible, upon q non
partisan basis we cordially concur, but
that this means retaining in them only
rabidly partisan republicans, who have
heretofore and will in the future use
their positions in the most offensively
partisan manner, we dissent.
Nor is the state at large ready to admit
that non-partisanship consists solely in
keeping republicans in Office.
In our State University and State
Normal school, and to slightly less OK
tent in the Agricultural college, extreme
and offensive republican psrtissns have
for years used these institutions as Inn.
portsnt wheels in the political machine
Not only employees and patronage have
been used for illegitimate political work,
but students have been cajoled, intimi-
dated, and used even to the extent OF
casting illegal ballots for the republican
ticket, under threat Of losing their stand
ing and chances Of advancement.
Since Prof. Snow became chancellor,
certain members of the faculty have
been checked in this kind Of work, but
the superintendent Of grounds and build.
ings and the clerk and purchasing agent
have continued it to the utmost extreme.
And now we, are told that the way 10
keep politics out of the university is to
keep these men in the places they have
80 dishonorsd, and to maintain solidly
republican faculty and force Of employ
ers. More than one-hRlfith students of
the university at this term are not re-
publicans, but they have no lack Of re-
minders that it would be better for them
il they were.
Had the Peoples party been in posses
sion OF every place in the university,
using them'openly and often Illegally for
partisan ends, and the republicans had
carried the state election, does any one
think they would have thought it wis
dom to leave everything in the control Of
their enemies 30 as to appear non-parti.
sanp Hardly. That party should be
satisfied to retain most Of the faculty
and some Of the less offensive employees.
And the faculty, too, should be wise
enough to see that the retaining of their
own positions is all they ought to expect
or ask, and that by demanding too much
they may find their comfortable salaries
endangered. Being professors, they
should be wise, and wise men are con-
tent to let we'll enough alone and not
lose what they have by asking more than
they deserve.
When Prof. Garfield was displaced by
a protectlOnist Of medieval ideas and
minimum requirements TO please and
strengthen republicans, enough was con-
ceded in that line, and more modesty in
demands is now the path OF wisdom. Let
US try a little less offensive brand of NON.
partisanship in the university.
