OHSTED.

The election in Indianapolis last week
was splendid triumph for law and or.
der. The city government had been in
| the hands of ring composed mostly of
| gamblers, thugs and saloon keepers, un-
! der whose management every form of
vice and extravaganza had full sway.
The leader of the gang recently served
term IN the penitentiary for malfeas-
| ance in office. He no sooner obtained
his freedom than he inaugurated a cam
paign Of fraud which it was intended
would perpetuate himself and his CO.
workers in office. He succeeded two
years ago to the city council, and was a
candidate for reelection last week,
but was defeated though his
ward was known as the "Five
Points" of the city. The major
ity for mayor was over ZOO, being a
change in the vote of two years ago of
about 5000. 1t was not regarded po-
litical campaign So much as contest be-
tween decency and corruption in office.
The mayor-elect is a man of clean record,
and will net be slow in Kidding the city
of the vile brood which has menaced the
peace of the city SO long.
This is one more exhibition eff right
eous Indignation which is held by the
people every where, and which speaks
with ominous certainty as occasion de-
mands. 1t is born of the latent, some
times unconscious devotion 10 law,
which rests with the masses.
bunal from which there is no
appeal and the hope Of the republic.
The people will not submit to an in
fringement upon their rights. Public
sentiment, wrought to certain limits,
admits of no expedients or subterfuges.
We have bogus reforms and quack re-
formers, whose aims are as selfish as
this besotted crew at indianapolis, but
their disguise is too transparent to de-
ceive the inquiring, discriminating pub
lie. These early elections are the signal
guns which announce the engagement
soon to take place all along the
line. Bosses. thugs, trimmers, ad-
venturers and inconsiderate sock
less nobodys will find employment
in other lines than in filling the offices
of trust. Speed the day when Kansas
will rid herself of this class of blatant
weaklings-when she may rejoice in a
delegation in congress worthy to succeed |
our lamented Senator Plumb. The |
drooling Old imbecile who continues his |
harangues from day to day has already
a majority of those who secur-
ed his election. All we want, to repudi- !
ate the whole outfit as sffectually As the
Coy gang was put down in the Hoozier
capital, is the opportunity.

sooner swept the hospitals of our in
capable and ofttimes drunken Sairey
Camps and had put the nursing Of our
hospitals upon better footing than an
unexpected trouble occurred
1.-The hospital authorities began, in
short, TO perceive that they possessed
in their lady nurses an unexpected
source of revenue. The public outside
the hospitals began to ask for trained
nurses. At first, 10 doubt, the public
got what it asked for, but gradually
some hospitals slipped into the habit
Of sending out only half-trained
nurses to a public which did not know
the difference. The temptation was
strong. A nurse at the end of her FIRST
years training will be receiving O
nominal salary Of from sixty TO eighty
dollars. BIT let her be sent into pri-
vate families as fully trained M Sc
and she is forthwith earning for the
hospital authorities two guineas

systematic private employer who

ices OF a competent person and does
not get them, aad the nurse. who is
both defrauded Of n large sum Of
money which she has earned and Of
