Mrs. Grant expressed disap-

had laid aside her widows bon

Mrs. Grant smiled and held out
hand.

said Mrs. Davis, placing her hand
in Mrs. Grants. Both women
gazed at each other a minute.

Mrs. Grant, who takes her meals
in the public dining-room, sat at a
table with two West Point officers.
Mrs. Davis came down to dinner
later. After dinner Mrs. Grant
went TO the parlor, where Mrs.

Mrs. Davis went to the piazza

In THE interest of temperance we
wish to say that bloodshed could
never have been averted in Topeka
had it not been for the absence of
saloons and joints. With the ex-
citement that prevailed, the incen-
diary speeches and resolutions, the
public mind was infamed to almost
an uncomfortable degree. One shot
would have started a civil war. One
slight, overt act might have precipi-
tated a conflict that would have re-
suited in the death of scores of onr
citizens and to the eternal disgrace
of Kansas. The temptation to
drink is always augmented by ex-
citement but, to the credit of our
fair capital city, let it be known to
the world that not drop of intoxi-
eating liquor could be obtained.
Not one drunken man was seen dur
ing that time.

IT Is sometimes difficult to yield
gracefully, when beaten, but it is al
ways the better way, and respect
should always be shown our courts
whether their decisions accord with
our desires or not. The threats Of
the populists that they will appeal
to the people in two years hence is
ludicrous. The populists will not
even refer to the present unpleas-
antness in their campaign two years
hence. Their record won't bear a
reference. As soon as the people
become cool and begin to reflect,
everybody, including the popullsts,
will see that the decision could not
have been different under the testi-
mony. Like the boy that the calf
run over, the populists will have
nothing to say about it two years
from now.

To THE honor and credit of re-
publicans let it be known that the
sentiment was unanimous to abide
by the decision of the courts. The
populists as a body did not take that
position. Even the governor would
not say that he would recognize the
Douglass house if the decision was
in its favor; and the populist mem
bers of the senate resolved, while
the question was pending, that the
court had no Jurisdiction. Speaker
Dunsmore seid the house over
which he presided would pay no at
tention to the decision of the
courts. This is the first time in the
history of the United States where
any political party has said that it
would bid defiance to the laws of
the land and the decision of the
courts. If we believed in every
principle advocated by the populists
party we would part company with
it when it declares that force, and
not law, shall prevail. Ii that idea
shall be recognized we have no gov
eminent except as force shall pro-
vide, to be overturned again by
superior force. In the light of re-
cent events we may well ask
"Whither are we drifting?" Party
supremacy is not the paramount is
sue of to-day.

EASILY ANSWERED..

It will not be forgotten that the
republicans north have, all along,
the Farmers alliance as a
mere tool in the interest of the DEM
ocratic party. Under this SUPPOSE
ton will our republican friends
please explain why it is that the
democratic Legislature of North Car
DINA should pass a bill revoking the
charter of the Farmers alliance in
that state.-HiU City Aduocate.
That is very easy question to
answer. The alliance is Of southern
origin and was originated in the in
terest of the democratic party. They
have no use for it in the south. Gen.
Weaver and Mrs. Lease can testify
to this fact. Is it possible that the
AdUocate would seriously PROFOUND
such question?

LIZ THE action of the governor and
the senate can do that then two
years ago when Governor Hum
phrey and the senate which was al
most unanimously of his party,
might have recognized the minority
of the other house and with such
recognition could have reelected
Senator John ]. ingalls, to the
United States senate and have
defeated Senator PETER and could
have carried on business under the
rule of recognition. lie the present
governor and senate may do this
now another another governor and
another senate may follow the ex-
ample and hereafter with such sane
ton of this court the legislature
will be composed of the governor
and one house recognizing and COM
municating with some other body
whether lawfully elected or not

The decision of the supreme court
was that the Douglas house was le-
gally organized and that only mem
bers holding certificates were emit
tied to take part in the organiza-
ton. This decision occasioned no
surprise. Even Justice Allen, the
populist member, did not question
the legality of the organization of
the Douglas house, but claimed that
the recognition by the governor
made it a defacto house. In other
words, no difference who might
have been elected, if the governor
recognizes a BODY of men as the
legislature that settles it and, here
after, it will be useless to make an
effort to elect Legislature by the
people, as the governor has that mat
ter entirely under his control. 1t
doesn't take lawyer to see the alb
surdity of such position. In that
event the governor is absolutely SUI
preme-and has more power than
the queen of England for, if the
body that he recognizes will not do
his bidding, he can recognize an
other that will. In other words all
that is necessary hereafter is to elect
the governor and he will do the
rest. We cannot believe the ma
jority of the populists entertain
such ideas.

AFTER more than six weeks of
obstruction by the populists the SUI
preme court has decided-in sub
stance-that sixty-four is more than
fifty-eight. This is about all there
ever was to the controversy. Sixty
four republicans held certificates of
election. Fifty-eight populists held
certificates. Both claimed the right
to organize. The supreme court
says that sixty-four is greater
number than fifty-eight and enun-
ciates the doctrine that we believe
was never before controverted-the
majority is entitled to rule. It all
seems very plain now that it is de-
cided. We believe that even the
populists can see it.

WE believe that the endorsement
of A. J. Davis, by the democratic
central committee for postmaster of
Wa-Keeney, will meet with the ap-
probation of all alike, republicans
and democrats. There were other
candidates who would have been
acceptable also, but they failed to
receive the necessary number of
votes. We congratulate Mr.. Davis.
