War to the knife, and between popu-

this year.
Neither history nor philosophy can
supply presidents for the Kansas situa-
ton. 1t is simply political chicanery
and hypocrisy run mad, the republicans
representing the former and the popu-
lists the latter. The effect of these
scene will be to discredit the populist
movement and to turn into laughing
stocks the so-called and self-styled ere
formers" of the day.
SO far as the riot and disorder are con
cerned there is not much danger of any
thing serious. The classes above re-
ferrcd to are careful rot to get hurt, and
are likely to handle their deadly weap-
ons with care. But it is now perfectly
clear that a statutory provision must be
made for cases of this kind. Govern

THAT STATE BUILDING.

In the hope Of aiding to make public
opinion which would bring about an in
y~cotigation Of the Worlds fair building
Of this state, The TRIBUNE has given
publicity to many of the criticisms which
have been passed on the structure. 1t
is now generally admitted. even by those
who are in Il measure responsible for the
building, that it is too low and will be
raised several feet.
Mr.. II. o. Chowcn Of this city wrote to
y. II. durham. director of works at the
fair grounds, for an expression of his
views On the building, and has received
the following reply; "Rcplying to your

port that the building well represents
the $1,000 appropriated for its construc.
ton. The workmanship is. tirst.class in
every respect"
This would seem to be an opinion Of
some value, and no citizen will be more
glad to be convinced that the building is
a credit to the state than will this paper.
