The Duty of Kansas.

There is this of encouragement in the
action of the Kansas Populist conven-
ton, that Lewelling is probably about
the weakest candidate before the people
whom it could have nominated. A dem
agogue scarcely less wild and crack
Drained then Waite of Colorado, his &C.
centric, arbitrary and lawless admins
tration, including, among other lawless
acts, the attempt to use the militia to
eject legally elected legislature from
the state house, has injured the credit
of the state and brought Kansas into
such bad repute in the business and
financial world that all interests have
suffered, and the injured interests know
who is to blame
There will be a general tendency
among sensible men of all parties in
Kansas to unite for bis defeat.
The defeat should be made as en-
phatic as possible. The three most Of
fensive demagogues in the country are
Pennoyer, Waite and Lewelling. Pen
meyer has been retired, let us hope for
good and all, and Lewelling and Waite
should be given the grand bounce at the
first opportunity. The opportunity,
which will come November 6 next,
should be embraced with unbounded
zeal and enthusiasm. Send Lewelling
to join Pennoyer.- Philadelphia Times

-Coloeado potatoeg at Eestor's.

On last Saturday, Alonson Banks
met with an accident that caused him
his life. His horses SHE'D in front of
Mr.. Deiterich's house and broke the
tongue of the wagon and started down
the grade at brake-neck speed, the end
of the tongue run into the ground and
turned under the wagon, throwing Mr..
Banks about six feet into the air and he
fell fiat on his back. He was uncon-
scious about thirty minutes. He was
put into Mr.. Thomas wagon and taken
to his own home and placed on a bed.
His mind rambled from money matters
to his children, whom he wanted to see.
He said he was going to die and he died
in an hour and half after his fall. His
back was badly bruised and he evidently
received internal injuries which death
alone could relieve him. He leaves a
wife and two single daughters and sew
eral married daughters to mourn his
loss. Mr.. Banks was an cid and highly
respected citizen of Trego county and
his death was a shock to the entire COM
munity. Rev. Bracken preached an i'm
pressiye funeral sermon at the house on
Tuesday at 10 O'Clock a. m, after which
the remains were brought to Wa-Kee-
ney and shipped to Cawker City for in
terment. The bereayed family have the
sympathy Of the entire county in the
death OF their beloved parent.

John N. Ives, who was the first pop
ulist ever elected to a state office in
Kansas, has left the populist party and
is stumping the state for the democrats,
who will probably be second in the race,
as the populists have just about given
up that there is no show at all for their
boodling outfit, thus leaving the fight
between the republicans and their old
time opponents, the democrats.

PHILADELPHIA, May s.-The fifth annual
convention of the National Textile
Workers convened in this city with 81
delegates present. The object Of the con-
vention is TO discuss and pass upon mat
ters which will tend To unite the work
men Of that department of labor for
mutual protection and the improvement
of their position.
The especial objects TO be considered
are the shortening of the hours Of labor,
the framing of the national factory laws
and the esta ishm ment of uniform wage
rate on such basis as Is possible.
During the sitting Of the convention
steps will be taken toward the formation
of an International union of textile work.
ers, and to that end Robert A Howard,
secretary OF tn. Spinners' union OF Fall
River, Mass, will be delegated TO repre-
sent the American textile workers at the
proposed con ference, which will include
not only British textile workers, but
probably representatives from France,
Belgium, Germany and Austria as we'll
In addition to favoring the limiting OF
the hours of labor to IS week, which
will doubtless be adopted, the conven-
tion will also take into consideration the
transfer of n portion Of the power OF the
national union to district councils. The
change is contemplated because the
major body Is becoming unwieldly and
better results are expected to result from
the establishment of a district system.
The national board, however, IL TO have
abe whole power OF ssnctioning strikes,
so that two big ones will not occur at the
same time.
The place for next years meeting was
decided on. Providence was the city
selected. The first Monday in May will
be the date. 1t was shown that the
organization has largely increased its
mem bership, aud now has over 10000
workers in its ranks Rhode Island has
been especially active of late, 20 new
unions having been formed in the past
few months. The increase in the MEM
bership is drawn largely from the cotton
industry employees, and In this city the
lace curtain makers have Joined the
union. The finances were stated 10 be In
