Good Night.

There is tender sweetness about
some of our common phrases of affec-
tionate greeting, simple and unobtru-
sive as they are, which falls like dew
upon the heart. Good night! The
little one lisps it as, gowned in white,
with shining face and hands and pray
ers said, she toddles off to bed. Sisters
and brothers exchange the wish; parents
and children, friends and friends.
Familiar use has robbed IL of its
significance to some of us; we repeat it
automatically without much thought.
But consider. We are, as voyagers,
putting off from time to time upon an
unexplored sea. Our barks of life set
sail and 60 onward into the darkness;
and we, asleep on our pillows, take no
such care as we do when awake and
journeying by daylight. Of the perils
of the night, whatever they may be. we
take no heed. An unsleeping vigilance
| of one stronger and wiser than we, who
is the Eternal Good. Good and God
spring from the same root, and are the
same in meaning. 'Goodby" is "God
be with you. "Good night" is "God
night" or ''God guard the night" 1t
would indeed be churlish household in
which these gentle forms of speech
were ignored or did not exist. Alike
the happy and the sorrowful, day by
day may say ''Good night. ."-Harper's
Bazaar.

Thurman's Plan.

Allen 6. Thurman has plan which
he thinks will solve the financial prob
lem and dispose of the currency ques-
tiOn to the satisfaction of all. His
proposition is that silver dollars shall
be the basis of national bank cir
culation. The banks are to be required
to deposit in the United States treasury
80 per cent. in such dollars, upon which
they are to be permitted to issue loo
per cent. of notes. These would always
insure payments and give the banks q
profit on their circulation that they dc
not now enjoy. Mr.. Thurman figures
that silver and gold would, with free
coinage and this amendment to the
national banking law, be at a parity in
twenty-tour hours, and strife between
the two metals would cease.

TRIUMPHANT PLUTOURAOY.

While it is humilIating to the popu-
lists of the Kansas house of representa-
tives to surrender to the decision of a
partisan court, they have acted wisely in
refusing to allow the republicans to put
them IN the attitude of defying the law,
even when there is nothing more than
pretext of legality against them.
But if the situation is calculated to
humillate the popullsts, it is even more
humiliating to the friends of popular
government who have not been con-
cerned as partisans in this quarrel.
1t has been made most strikingly
manifest that, for the time being at
least, the power of the Santa Fe rail-
road is greater than that of the ma
jority of the people of Kansas. This
corporation has instigated rebellion;
has corrupted and controlled the militia
and has made a show of force to
overawe the governor of the state and
the authorities constituted by the state
to represent them. After doing this,
it has rendered a decision from the
supreme bench of the state in support
of it's claim and against the claims
of the people to self-governing.
1t is true that all this was done in
the name of the republican party, but
no one needs to be told now that the
republican party in Kansas stands for
the Santa Fe railroad and the corpor-
ations in alliance with it to hold
political power that has been usurped
from the people.
In view of such notorious facts the
state administration party has done
we'll in avoiding even the show of
illegality. When the issue is forced at
last to question of violence, let the
plutocrats have no shadow of right to
sustain them in their rebellion against
the people.
If the Santa Fe railroad and the rest
of those who seem to think they have
divine right to rule are wise they will
avoid violence hereafter. Patience is
the mother of all the virtues it is true
but the other virtues are apt tC
resent it when their mother is abused.
The attitude assumed by the Kansas
plutocracy towards the people is highly
exasperating, and, being so, it is highly
dangerous to those who make theil
moneyed interests their highest con
sideration. 1t will not do to repeat toe
often either the practice of fraud or the
threat of violence against the people

The Republican Rebellion.

The following editorial on the repuD-
lican rebellion in Kansas is taken from
the Boston Advertiser, of February
18th, a republican newspaper of nat
ional reputation. Its conclusions upon
the recent revolt against executive au-
thority in our state are those that all
loyal men must arrive at from a dis
passionate view of the legislative
embroglio:
The republicans in Kansas in the
past few days have been acting in a
manner that reflects no credit upon
the party in general. The attempted
arrest of Clerk Rich, an act which pre-
cipitated the present trouble, was Eau
thorized" upon an apparently fiimsy
pretext. 1t was, to all appearances,
not only unnecessary, but distinctly
unwise. and the fruits of that act have
served to discredit Kansas wherever
the news of the present trouble has
reached. The reports Of branch of a
state legislature arming large num-
ber of ''sergeants at arms" for an
attack upon the Topeka capitol; the
stories of the conflict of authority be-
| tween the sheriff and militia and of the
assault upon the doors of the hall of
representatives with sledge-hammers,
| and of the obstruction of the furniture
of the hall; such items of news do not
make pleasant reading for the friends
of that order in the United States. A
party of hoodlums could hardly have
done more damage to the property of
tue state than was done by the legis-
lators who claim to represent the peo-
pie of Kansas.
Bad as was the exhibition given by
the republican legislators in their
armed attack upon the hall of repre-.
sentatives, even still greater mistake
seems to have been made from a polit.
ical point of view, in the reported
appeal of the republican leaders to
certain corporations for ''protection'
from the state militia. If the republi-
can leaders, as the dispatches distinctly
state, have made such an appeal they
have committed a very bad blundel
from any point of view. To oppose
such force to the state militia is un
wise, because the remedy for any wrong
which the state troops may commit
lies not in armed resistance, but in al
appeal to the law, whose representative
the national guard Is supposed to be
From a Political point of view, tn,

quest for protection, rendered the cor

Is IT sETTLED9

The decision of the highest court in
the state has been accepted as law and
the Douglass house is now recognized
as the legal house Of representatives.
While the legal phase of the question
has been settled so far as the courts are
concerned the real issue underlying all
the muddle at Topeka has not been
settled. Its final settlement will be
made by the people themselves.
There are very few people who care
whether Mr.. Douglass or Mr.. Duns-
more is speaker. They are both good
men and either would perhaps preside
fairly ana impartially. The contest on
the surface seemed to be between these
two men. 1t seemed to be between the
populist party on the one side and the
republican party on the other, but back
of and beyond these chosen leaders is
the real issue. It is contest between
monopoly on the one side and the people
On the other. The organization of the
republican party is completely under
the control of corporation attorneys
who are using the party for the interest
of their masters. the corporations, and
against the people.
Any movement really in the interests
of the masses in this or any other state
must of necessity include the democracy
because the democratic party is essen
TALLY party of the people. The dem
ocratic party has always stood for the
rights of the individual citizen as
against centralized power in govern
ment or any other power that seeks to
set itself above and Independent of the
people.
The corporations of Kansas through
the republican party have usurped tht
government of Kansas and just 80 long
as the peoples party arrays itsel
against this usurpation, the tools o.
monopoly, whether they claim to b,
democrats or republicans or populists
can not prevent fusion of the peoples
and the democratic parties for th'
reason that the ranks and files of th'
two parties are inspired by a common
purpose and that purpose is to sustain
a government by the masses as agains
a government by the classes.
This is the issue underlying the con
test at Topeka and no court in Chris
| tendon can settle it. 1t will not b,
settled until the people have triumphet
orsuntil the instinct which has in al
ages arrayed the Caucasion race agains

A WRITER in the Roman Farmer
says: "In 1873 the local debt in Ohio
amounted to $40, ,119 .276, and the taxes
$40, ,653 ,494. There has been con-
stant advance in both to the present
time. AT the close of 1892 the local
debt amounted to ss3, 449, ,072, and the
local taxes amounted to S84, ,749, ,675.
Thus we will observe that the local
debts have increased more than 400 per
cent, while local taxes have increased
heavily.''

may conclude to finish the work the
