Revolution in Kansas.

The disturbance in Kansas Is not riot,
but an attempted revolution. The will Of
the people, As law fully expressed BY their
votes for members of the Legislature, has
been SO long and SO daringly dened that
some intelligent men may have forgotten
the acts which caused the present outbreak
and which determine its character. But
1t Is to the credit Of most Democratic
journals that they fully admit the illegality
Of the so-called Populist House Of Repre-
sentatiyes. and the revolutionary nature of
its proceedings. Yet when men read that
the Governor Of . State calls out troops,
they are apt to infer that the Executive
must be upholding the law. and the revo
lutionists must be those against whom his
forces are directed. Happily, 1t has been
very rare IN American history that the
Governor himself has been the chief law
breaker and revolutionist, but that is the
fact In Kansas to- day.
Before the Legislature assembled des-
perste efforts had been made by the Popu-
lists to secure majority in the House
through proceedings In the courts. They
brought actions intended to deprive some
of the Republican members Of their seats,
and were enraged when the courts decided
against them. Many of the Populst lead
tTs even went so LAT As 10 threaten tnAt
the judges should be impeached and re-
moved. not because the lswtulness OF their
decision was questionable. but because
they left the control OF the lower house
where the people had placed it, When the
Legislature assembled certificates Of cleo
lion TO the House were held by "a Republi-
cans. 81 Populists. Democrats and In
dependent Republican.
The msjority of the legally elected mem
bers OF the House organized Ia due form
by the election Of q Republican Speaker.
Not only WAS there in the body thus organ
Ized clear majority Of all members having
certificates of election. but the Democratic
members also recognized the Republican
House as the only legal organization and
acted a. members of It. fhe minority Of
P"pulists, never having a quorum Of the
members holding certificates or legally
elected pretended to organize Is sepa-
rate body by the election of q Speaker
In order to make up quorum this illegally
constituted body, which never had any more
authority or power than any mob on a
street corner, proceeded tn declare certain
Populsts duly elected in place Of Repub-
licans who held regular certificates and
were sitting members Of the lawful
House.
1t WAS this unlswfuly constituted body
this mere mob without the shadow OF legal
light to act which the Populi~t Governor

STRIKE IN PROSPECT.


HAyERHILL, Mass, Feb. 2l.-The mat
ter of new price list. recently submitted
to the shoe manufacturers by cutters as
sembly No. 1875 Knights OF Labor, which
asks an increase of p cents day for cut
ting, is creating considerable uneasiness
in the shoe district. Nearly oue-half of
the cutter, employed in the factories are
Knights OF Labor, and are, as whole,
skilled and steady men.
A committee from the assembly held a
conference with the manufacturers yes
terday in reference to the matter, and the
result was that the manufacturers
refused to grant the advance. They gen
orally agreed, however, to refer the sub
ject to the board of Cancellation for set
Element, which proved satisfactory to the
Knights Of Labor committee.
A strong effort is being made to prevent
a strike, but the present Indications are
that a strike must come, especially in the
factories where the manufacturers do not
belong to the board OF Cancellation. The
cutters say they mean business, and the
fight for an advance in pay will be a de-
terminal one
