WHAT OF THE FUTURE OF THE PEG
PLIES PARTY2
NO. ~.

the voting population OF This country
is purchssesble, and is corruptly con-
trolled in all elections. ~ That the
saloon and the machinery Of the
liquor power are among the most po-
tent factors in the control of this mer-
chsntsble vote. (3 That the capital
stock of the distilleries and breweries
of America is held by English
capitalists and their accomplices in
the United States, and that the ma
chinery of the liquor traffic is there
fore one of the agencies by which the
interests of centralized capital are
served.
These things being true, the proper
policy of the Peoples party toward
this traffic ought not to be a matter
Of doubt, nor ought there to be any
difference of opinion concerning it.
In this contest Of the people with the
various corporations and combina-
tions of centralized capital, the whisky
syndicates and brewery combines can
not be excepted from the list of those
against which our opposition is di-
rected. Nor can there be any half
way measures or any milk and water
policy in dealing with this question.
We cannot successfully oppose the
continued encroachments of the COM
bined power of capital, and fail to IN
clude theentire liquor interest among
our direct objects of assault. When
ever and wherever representatives of
this interest appear in support of any
political party, they are there for the
purpose Of control; and whenever and
wherever any political party achieves
any degree Of success as a result of
this support, the liquor power will be
found on top and debating the off,
cial patronage as we'll as the general
policy of the party. Any political
party, therefore, that bids for this
support, makes a direct bid for just
this kind of domination.
But it is not sufficient that we for
bear to bid for such support We
must not even tolerate it. No politl-
cal party can attain any prominence,
or develop degree Of strength that
shall afford any promise of ultimate
success, that the emissaries of the
liquor power will not seek alliances
acith 1t for the sole purpose of con-
troll. These men have no politics but
the interest they represent. Like
Jay Gould and his railroad interests,
in republican states they are repub-
licans, in democratic states they are
democrats, but in oil states they are
whisky men, and supporters OF CEN
tralized capital We must not only
not bid for their support, not only re-
pudiate them IN toto, but we must di-
rectly and emphatlcally antagonize
them. If the Peoples party is to be
a party of true reform it must cut
loose now and forever from this class
of support. We must build up q
party from the better rather than the

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-29

About O'Clock last evening he went to the
court house from his home and instructed
the district clerk to issue q release for all the
prisoners then in Jail. This was done and
the saloon keepers were released, and the
charges against them were dismissed. Every
saloon is running in full blast.
1t would seem that here is fair
opportunity for the attorney general
and the state administration to de-
termine who IS to run the state of
Kansas for the next two years. If
such lawlessness and contempt of au-
thority are to prevail, the people of
Kansas would like to know it as soon
as possible. The ADVOCATE expects
that the laws will be enforced in Fort
Scott, and further that the state au-
thorities will act promptly in the
matter. This is a case of open def
ance of law in which there is no ex-
cuse for delay.
Since the above was written, Attor-
ney General Little, in answer to re-
quests for the appointment of
assistant attorney generals in other
counties, has issued the following re-
ply, which expresses the rule that
will govern the Office:
GENTLEMEN:-Your petition for the ap-
pointment of an assistant attorney general
for your county received. Will say in reply
that the petition does not furnish any evi-
denoe that your county attorney has failed
or neglected to prosecute whisky cases. This
Office has established rule, to which it will
strictly adhere, which is that the complaint
must be made to the county attorney, fur
nishing him with evidence of the violation
of the law, and that he have a reasonable
and fair opportunity to investigate the case,
and after this is done and he refuses to act,
then on complaint at this Office we will pro-
oeed to investigate the matter and make
such order as will insure the enforcementof
the law. We must not forget that in this
republican form of government the people
select their county attorney and other
officers, and it must be made clear that the
county attorney selected by the people will
fully fails to perform his duty. Respect
fully, JOHN 7. LITTLE,
Attorney General.
This is the correct policy for the
attorney general to pursue. The law
makes it the duty Of county attor-
neys to prosecute violators of the
law; and it is not the province of the
attorney general to interfere until
the county attorney fails to do his
duty. Neither is it required of him
to go about the state making inquiry
everywhere whether county attorneys
do their duty or not. The citizens of
localities where the law is being vlo-
lated have duties to perform which
they canpot shift to the shoulders of
either state or county officials. The
first duty is to report violations to the
county attorney; then if he fails to
do his duty, report such failure to
the attorney general. After this is
done, if the attorney general fails to
act, the people will have just cause of
complaint. Let this work be begun
at the right end of it, and it is to be
hoped that no law abiding or law-re-

A Straight Tip.

Some people in Shlawasse county seem
to think they can fight Owosso at all times
and still expects favOrs at election time.
This has about played out as they will
learn to their sorrow if the present
course is continued. The words of "Abner
Scott" in this weeks issue of the Press are
to the point:
II understand that it was asserted at
Lansing that nobody in Shiawassee county
wanted Luce ''eXcept few fellows in
OwoSso." Now | am not republican and
do not care fig for politics anyway, but let
me say right here that whoever hereafter
wants to go to Lansing had better look after
not the ''few fellows in OwossO," but the
many voters who have now the the power in
that municipality to defeat any man they
wish. 1t seems to an old man here on 1.-THE
hill, that if he were seeking preferrment
he would seek some friends in city whose
political power, if she sees fit to WELD it,
may become menace instead of by-wOrd!
1t does not occur to some triflers who seem
to be forcing sectional ideas, that the time
may possibly come that no man can be elect
ed to Office except he comes from the west
side of the countyw

John Sczybyleke fell down the shaft at the
coal bank last Friday, distance of 92 feet.
Strange to say he was but slightly injured,
simply light bruiSe on his side and, an
ankle sprained. He was little dazed for
about five minutes, and then got up and
walked, claiming he was not injured.
Nevertheless DR.. Hume was summoned and
after a critical examination, gave the above
as his condition. 1t seems impossible that
a man could fall that distance without meet
ing with instant death. His name is what
saved his life.
