Some of the European prisoners taken by the
Chinese were skinned alive, their bodies being

SHOW YOUR FAITH BY YOUR WORKS.

The Kansas City Gazette of April
2 has an editorial addressed "To the
Women" in which a labored effort is
made to show that everything that is
good in politics has come through
the republican party, and that the
women of Kansas must look to the
republican party for the right Of
suffrage. 1t refers to a republican
IN Kansas City who is very indignant
because the ladies of that city have
gone to all the candidates for city
offices and asked them to give q
pledge to support woman suffrage
because, he saws, it places q demo-
cratic pledge on an equality with a
republican pledge. This is. strange
logic surely. Probably the ladies OF
Kansas City believe that democratic
vote for equal suffrage will count as
much as republican vote, aud there
is some little reason in the belief.
They can hardly be blamed for Sc
curing all the pledges in favor Of
their equal rights that il ID possible
TO obtain.
Isit not barely possible that The

Gazette oVerestimates the virtues and
achievements Of the republican party I?
It may be that some Of the losses
which it is claimed the party has sus-
tanned in consequence of ITS advanced
position upon great moral questions,
have been a result Of broken prom
ises, and hypOcrltlcal practices where
ITS pretentions have led the people to
hope for something hetter. Perhaps
If the Gazette would make a more
careful and a less biased inVestiga-
ton it might discover this to be really
the case. 1t will occur to thought
full outsider also, that if the republi-
can party is really so sincerely in
favor of equal suffrage, it has had
ample opportunity during all the
years it has controlled the affairs Of
the state, to bestow it. However, we
are not disposed now to quarrel with
republicans upon this question so
long as they claim to be In favor of
extending the franchise to women.
We are willing to accord them all
the glory they may be justly entitled
to, but we desire them to let their
good will and their good intentions
appear in their works. Faith with
out works is dead, and so Is talk
without votes. Let the ballot show
how anxious republicans are to place
woman upon a political equality with
men, and it will need no long-winded
editorials to convince people Of the
fact.

JUDGE RIOKg DECISION,

The NeuV Nation commenting upon
this decision, takes a very hopeful
view Of its ultimate consequences.
We would be glad to believe that
there is really good ground for this
view, but it seems in our judgment to
be based upon very doubtful con-
tingent. We clip the following from
It's comment:
Prof. GuntOn, q representative of the
non-nstionslistiO, purely trade union, anti
public OWnership and operation view of the
industrial problem, as might be expected,
sees nothing that is not bad in the Ricks
ruling. He bitterly condemns the capital
istiO newspapers which oppose Judge RickS'
course, and wants to know how they would
like the boot on the other leg. He says;
''It is generally admitted that factories
have right TO stop work when 10 is un-
profitable, but what Of the thousands who
are left in want By the stOppagep Would
these same papers apply their rule the other
way and say, You must run your factory,
for to step 10 means suffering1"
No, these papers would not say 80. They
would make great outOry at such an ap-
pliOatiOn Of the principle. Nevertheless,
that application Of the principle would be
good law and is involved in the Rioks rul.
ing. That is why We nationaliEts smile, in
spite Of our sympathy with the railroad
men who are just now inOonvenienOed by
the course Of the federal courts.
What are the factories going TO do about
ii when the courts are called on to compel
them to run for fear Of iDjuring the public
welfare represented By great bodies Of en-
ployes and dependent tradesmenP They
are going TO kick awhile, and then if the
pressure is kept up, they are going, after q
good deal of painful experience, to draw
out and ask the government to run the fac
tories itself.
It is admitted that if this decision
were to be carried out to its logical
conclusion, and all manufacturing
establishments employing labor be
compelled to constantly continue
operations even though they run at
q loss, lest the stOppage should cause
sufHering. there might be some grOund

Nation; but is it for moment to be
supposed that, should a case arise,
even in the same court, involving the
right of any factory or workshop en-
ploying labor, to shut down and dis
charge every employe upon its
payroll, that Judge Ricks would
hold that labor had any rights justi-
fylng interference of the courts? No
such ruling could be expected or
hoped for. American courts to-day
are the willing tools of plutocracy.
They are chosen with view to the
service they are expected to render,
and there is no prospect of the easy
victory over capitalism here antici-
psted by the NeaO Nation. It would
be fortunate indeed for humanity if
there were such prospect.

the election. The ticket had no op-
position.
AT Emporia there were two tick
cts, and both candidates for mayor
were republicans-one running on an
independent ticket The same is
true of Arkansas City. In Kansas
City the independent candidate for
mayor was q woman. Aside from
this fact we have not been able to
learn what the special local issues
were. Republicans as usual dis
played their pretended friendship
for the political equality of the sexes
by supporting the male candidate,
probably because he had the best
''pull."
At Abilene, which is one Of the
places where they claim q straight
fight was made upon the issue Of vim
dicsting the late republican houSe,the
republican majority is less than a
hundred, and is several hundred
smaller than in the November cleo
tion.
In cities where the republican
tinkAta ware AefaatA0. the DRrtV pA-
pers simply publish the names Of the
successful candidates without stating
the party to which they belong, and
this they call publishing the news.
We might go through the list Of
the various cities of the state in this
manner and show in detail the sbso-
lutte fsllscy of the claim in each
instance that the result is q rebuke to
the Peoples party. How can it be
where they had no ticket and made
no contests AS before stated, the
strength of the Peoples party is not
in the cities. The bankers, the loan
brokers, the lawyers, the railroad
msgnates snd>city nabObs and dudes,
as a role, are republicans, and Peo-
ple's party men are not fools enough
to put out tickets and make fruitless
contests where they know they have
no hope Of success. Let our repub-
lican friends draw all the consolation
that is possible from these municipal
elections. AT the next general cleo
tion, when Peoples party precincts
have an opportunity to be heard
from upon state and national ISSUES,
they will repeat the lesson Of 1892
with vastly increased emphasis.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-12
AS PREDICTED.

HcRns are repeating Cne CAcSics VI
1891. After the municipal elections
of that year a great effort was made
by the republican press to msnufac-
ture public sentiment abroad by mis-
statement of facts and suppression Of
correct reports The Topeka Capt.
tai in flaming headlines announced
that the Peoples party had met It's
Waterloo and would never more be
heard from. Notwithstanding all this
BLISTER and brsggadocio the Peoples
party pursued the even tenor Of its
way until the next general election
when it wiped the republican party
out of existence as a political force
in state affairs.
What are the facts in this elec-
tion? The cities of the state which
have never been anything else but
republican, have generally been
carried by that party. nowhere by IN
creased msjorities, and in many
places by greatly diminished majori-
ties. There ls scarcely a city in the
state where Populists had a straight
ticket in the field. The strength Of
the Peoples party is in the rural DIS
tricts, as everybody knows, and in
local politics; where they had no hope
of electlng their candidates, they have
made no party fight, and where they
have participated ia the elections at
all they have contented themselves
with voting for the best men that
were in the field. It is not simply
nonsense, it is absolute deception to
claim the result as an indication of q
revulsion of public sentiment since
the November election. If the result
shows any revulsion at all it is against
the republican party, because Of Its
diminished msjorities in the cities of
the STATE; but the facts are that in
most cases local issues alone deter
mined the result. There was no con-
test as between republicans and
Populists, because, as before stated,
Populists had no tickets in the field.
In some places there was citizens in
dependent tickets, and some of these
were elected
Take a few illustrations. In To-
peka there were three tickets, q
straight republican, independent and
a straight democratic, and the Peo-
ple's party had nothing whatever to
do with putting either Of them in the
field. The individual members Of
the Peoples party who voted were
divided between the three tickets.
We personally know that each Of the
candidates received the votes of Peo-
ple's party men. We had no ticket
in the field at all. Will any honest
man OF any party figure out how the
result IN this city can be q Populist
defeat? We would like to under
stand the logic Of the reasoning by
which republicans arrive at such q
conclusion.

Deadwood was visited by disastrous
fire last Monday night. The Treber
residence, situated on Forest Hill, and
valued at $l4,G00, was destroyed, also
three smaller and less pretentious dwell
ings, entailing fetal loss of $50 0000 co..
The fire is supposed to have originated
from defective fue. For some time
the Deadwood waterworks have been
practically useless, and the town was at
the mercy of the flames. Happily no
wind was blowing. and further destruc-
ton was prevented through the efforts
of the citizens. The Treber residence
was insured for $4,000, and about 81, 900
was carried on the other buildings. The
past fall and the present winter, will
long be remembered IN tho Hills, be
cause of the destructive fires which
have occurred. Desdwood. Whitewood,
Hot Springs, Sturgis, Hermosa. and Hill
City have been the chief sufferers so
far.
