SOMETHING SIMILAR.

There is q familiar story in Okla
homa, of how q well.known Kansas
railroad lawyer came to Guthrie be-
fore the session of the first territorial
legislature of 1881, and began pulling
the strings in the interest of his COM
pany. He did his work faithfully
and well, seeing" all the members
elect that were "seeeble" and getting
things in pretty good shape, from his
standpoint. The result Of his and
other mems timely efforts was that
the session opened with a wrapgle,
som ething similar to what has lately
occurred at other places. The law
yer, not knowing how well this suited
his client, wrote the chief officers of
his company, telling them that he
had the Legislature in good shape to
help the company if this wrangle
hadn't delayed it, and asking their
opinion as to what he should do next
The answer came by wire: you've
done well enough so far; now keep
them fighting" The lawyer saw the
point and obeyed orders.
The object of the corporation law
yers in Kansas seem to be to "keep
them fighting" but the Populists are
not inclined to have it that way.
There are several honest members on
the republican side who don'tseem to
grasp the situation, but when they do
it will be different.

GOOD ADVICE,

The Kansas Populists will act wisely now
by turning their attention exclusively to leg
islation and leave the republican monkey
show TO continue it's exhibit for the amuse-
ment Of the AssoOiatsd Press reporter in To-
peka.-Denver News.
The above suggestion is a proper
one. The people are thoroughly sat-
isfed of the legitimacy of the Popu-
list organization of the house. This
is true, not only of Peoples party
men, but of the very best men, ire
spective of party. What the people
want is Legislation, and if this is given
them Of q character that will afford
some relief from the evils to which
they are now subject, no fears may
be entertained concerning the future.
Now that the organization is effected,
and all departments of the state gov
ernment are IN the hands of the Peo-
ple's party, there will be no good
excuse to offer for failure to enact
the Legislation to which the party is
pledged. Time is rapidly passing.
There should be great activity in the
Legislature from this time forward.
We hope to see good work done.
Give US wholesome laws, gentlemen.
We are waiting patiently.

WHY THEY WANTED TO STEAL
THE STATE AGAIN.

The discovery of the defalcatlon Of
Bill Higgins in the Office Of secretary
of state, together with the fact that
the same misappropriation of state
funds has been going on under pre-
vious republican administrations, and
the probability that further investi-
CATION will likely show that the other
state officers have been guilty OF the
same frauds, affords one of the
reasons for the desperation with which
the boodlers have clung to the state
government. Governor Humphrey
exposed the defalcatlon in the insur-
ance department, when he found 1t
could be concealed no longer, and not
before; but the robberies in the other
departments was left to the success
ors in Office to bring them to light.
Will the thieves be punished?

REPUBLICAN editors are going into
spasms over Treasurer Blddle's bond.
They think they have discovered on
it the names of men who justified for
more than they are worth. They say
nothing about the fact that the
amounts for which the signers justi-
fed foot up much more than was re-
quired. Besides that, 1t might be
observed that an honest man in office
under such a bond as Biddle fled is
much safer than a republican thief
with a "heavler" bond to back him.
Some republican editors cannot real
ize that On honest man has been
elected treasurer.

Are the working people of Kansas
clamoring for a law that will send
them over the road or subject them to

chance. Well, hardly. They are
looking for laws that will protect

Of their legitimate business.

The fact that Senators PETER and
Perkins voted for the anti option bill,
is evidence to some that the republi-
cans and Populists are getting to-
gether. The truth seems to be that

by voting right a few times, even at
the risk Of being denounced by hls
party, He is fixing to retire to a re-
spectacle community.

SHOW US THE WEAK ONES.

One Of the most tiresome fakes that
republican papers have indulged IN
lately is the story that there are MEM
bers on the Populist side of the house
Of Representatives who have expressed
their disapproval Of the policy pur-
sued by their own side, but that they
are bound by caucus domination and
the threats of their colleagues to vote
with the Dunsmore house. There is
scarcely a republican paper in Kan
sas but what has published this non
sense.
We challenge the newspaper fra
ternity of Kansas to show man who
has given vent to such an expression
as that. Let any one go onto the
Populist side Of the floor and see if
he can find a member who looks like
a moral or a physical coward. Have
they acted the coward at any time
since the session began? Far from it.
Our observations among the MEM
bers has discovered but one influence
besides the mans own conscience that
has in any way affected his vote, and
that was the prevailing desire of his
constituents. IF he did not heed that
he would not be q Populist. There
are q dozen members who will be will
ing to recognize Mr.. Douglass as
speaker whenever they are convinced
that q majority of the voters who sent
them there wish them to do so. When
they are SO convinced, no power in
Topeka will keep them from answer
ing when their names are called by
the we'll paid clerk on the other side.
On the other hand, what moral
right has a republican to expect
sympathy from the people for his
party and for their sOcalled legally
organized" house of representatives,
Have not they had both houses and
the whole state government for the
last twenty-five years excepting the
last two2 And what was done by
them during the last ten years that
would entltle them to any credit or
commendation from the people? In
short, is there any excuse for the ex-
istence of a republican party in Kan
sas except the matter of funeral
expenses? Do the general election
returns indicate that the people OF
Kansas wanted a republican house?
These are the questions thst stiffen
up the backbone of the Populists and
make them feel that if there is any
thing to be criticised for it is fol
being too easy with the obstruction
lists. And when they shall have
enacted enough new laws to redeem
the pledges they made to the voters
no matter if it is only half a dozen
bills, they can go home and receive
the plaudits of their constituents
Then let the court nullify their acts

All being ready, the surfmen ashore

rolls rapidly shoreward, suspended from

lance the man in the breaches is dang
ling above the water. When he reaches
the surf, though, he Is bound to get a
ducking. He holds his breath, takes a
fresh hold ON the life preserver, and in
he goes. The next minute he is on the

reach out to pluck him out Of his can

THE BREECHEs BUOY.
An Excellent Device for Rescuing
the Shipwrecked.
The Appliance 10 of Great Help to the
Daring Life savers OF the New Jersey
CoAst-How It Il Sent to
Sinking ships.

The sturdy surfmen of Long Beach.
as they call the ribbon Of sand south of
Barnegat inlet separating the waters of
the bay and the ocean, have made two
gallant rescues in the past week with
the Lyle gun and the breeches buoy.
The opportunity to use these appG-
ances is always welcomed, says the New
York Sun, because 1t means a fight with
the elements that stirs the blood and
strains the muscle. Whenever the
news that q ship Is ashore is
telephoned from station to station
over the beach wires every surfman
within twenty miles says envious things
about the lucky patrolmen who are
called out to make the rescue. The ordi-
nary routine of the beach patrol is full
of hardship and monotonous in the ex-
treme. A daring rescue makes talk for
the rest of the winter.
Considering the number of vessels
which have to pass it, the New Jersey
coast is the most dangerous on the con-
tinent, and many ships go ashore on
the shelving sands there every winter.
Ninety-nine times out of q hundred,
however, the surf will admit the
launching of lifeboats, and the surf
men bring ashore the shipwrecked in
this way. It is only when a great
storm is raging and the surf is SO rough
as to battle the skillful oarsmen that
the gun and breaches buoy are resorted
to. This does not happen very often.
When the patrol sees a vessel aground
or in danger he hurries to the station
and gives the alarm. The surfmen are
out IA q jiffy. They always take all
their apparatus, 80 as to be ready for
any emergency. If the ifeboat cannot
be launched through the surf, they
bring out the Lyle gun. This is a small
brass cannon, which has a projectile fit
ting over the barrel like a sheath over a
a sword. To the projectile is fastened
one end of a stout cord. The gun is
aimed to throw the projectile over the
ship, and thus bring the cord within the
l reach of the men on the wreck. 1t sell
dom requires more than two shots to
land the cord. The sailors then pull it
in and get hold of the rope to which it
is fastened. When the end Of the rope
is hauled aboard it is made fast to one
l Of the masts. Meantime the surfmen
are burying q sand anchor. This Is a
| great square OF planking, whose sur
face grips the sand in which 1t Is sunk.
To 1t the shore end OF the rope is Sc
curely fastened.
Then comes the breeches buoy. This
consists of q great ungainly pair OF
canvas trousers hung to circular life
