The Topeka ADVOCATE has lowered itself
10 the level Of the Ottawa Journal and fills
itS columns with stale stories attempting 20
reflect upon the personal integrity Of e. N.
Morrill,. We are surprised that paper
usually 30 fair should lend itself to such
filthy work,-AtOhisOp Champion, OctO-
Der 8.
The ADVOCATE would always be
glad to conduct political campaigns
upon broad principles OfpublicpoliCy
entirely ignoring the fact that any
party had candidates in the field. It
would be glad to discuss these prin-
Ciples without once mentioning the
name Of a party candidate. That
should be the course of all parties,
but the republican party has shown
itself absolutely incompetent to con-
duct any other style Of campaign
than one Of slander and personal
abuse, or to appreciate any other
when undertaken by political oppo-
nent. Has the Champion forgotten
the publication in its columns of the
campaign rot furnished by Cy Le-
lands committee respecting Popu-
list candidates. And can the Cham
pion designate any particular state
ment that the ADVOCATE has published
concerning Major Morrill, that is un-
true?
There is this difference IN the
stories published in the ADVOCATE
concerning Major Morrill, and those
published by the Champion and
other republican papers concerning
Governor Lewelling. The ADvocATR's

KANSAS is a mighty poor state for
Mckinley to bring his hobby to. The
advocacy OF protected market for
the products of manufacturing mo-
nopolies and a free trade market for
the purchase of labor is not as popu-
lar out on the Kansas prslries as il
used to be before the people became
enlightened respecting the schemes
by which they have been plundered
for so many years. The tariff hum.

In Major Morril's war record is
found this little speech, which he
made to his colonel in reply to an
offer Of a position in the front
ranks: my forte and my inClins-
ton lead me to remain in the COM
misssry department. I admire
courage but / am afraid I am
lacking in that quality" Since the
war is over, Morrill, has amended the
above by striking out Courage" and
inserting ''honesty."

THERE is less than a month re-
naming of this campaign, and up
to this time the republican speakers
and newspapers have not mentioned
a single principle of public policy
that they pretend to advocate. Their
campaign has been one of slander
and abuse throughout and will con-
tinus SO to the end. There is a very
good reason for this as the party has
no principles and dare not adopt
any.

THE CRIMES OF BLUE AND MORR1IL,

A0oAS6V9 bOOuU Chl44uB b4D &bDDUblOu
Of his neighbor to the dark and dam.
nsblO record of the two leading can
didstes of the republican ticket,
r. w. Blue and E. N. Morrill,. These
men stand charged with the most
wicked practices man can be guilty
Of and go unpunished by statutory
law. And they offer no defense, for
there is nothing they can say.
A man may practice usury in way
that the law cannot touch him. He
may levy the most sxtortionate black
mail and keep out Of jail. Through
our banking laws he may absolutely
bunco his kconfding neighborg out
of their money and all their means Of
making living, and still not be con-
viCted of crime, but he is nevertheless
guilty and is amenable to the moral
law as interpreted by public opinion.
The time is not far. distant when a
man who does these things will be
subject to legal punishment in COM
mon with the horse thief or the bur-
glar. Until then let us not encourage
crime by honoring the man who
commits il, even though he may keep
within the bounds Of law.
But what can be said of the party
that tries to foist such specimens Of
citizenship as Blue and Morrill, upon
a confding people, as public oficlalsG
What must be it's moral condition as
a Wholel These mems business
records have mot been kept dark.
They are known Of all men and de-
gpised Of many, in the communities
in which they live. Their names are
synonyms for greed, svsrice and
trickery, and their reputation has
been we'll earned. They simply rep.
resent that non.produclng class of
leeChes who lead the republican
party, and their nomination was
natural consequence.
We call special attention to the
testimony on page 10 Of this issue,
concerning the deSpicable character
OF r. w. Blue, and ask each reader
to show it to his neighbOr. Il is
your duty to do so. You need not
be afraid it is q campaign lie It Is
the plain truth, and has been told so
often that we would gladly have
omitted it from our columns had not
the enemies of the Peoples party in

placed a throne, upon which the emperor
mounts Ne,y Years Day, winter solsuce,
or his birthday, to receive the congTatulG-
lions of the assembled officials.
Some time ago portions Of the palace
grounds were accessible to the foreigner
but for several years policy of the strict
est exclusion has prevailed. Everything
is closed and nothing can be seen from the
outside but the yellow roofs of the great
halls and the pavillions GROWING the
higher elevations. To the innermost pal
ace no man is admitted. II is here that
the emperor resides, with his harem,
surrounded by an army of from 5000 to
10000 eunuchs.
There seems little ground for surprise
at the imperial attitude toward the en-
voys of foreign states when the isolation
of the emperor from his own subjects
is borne in mind. When he visits any of
the temples or a neighboring palace no
one is allowed to be abroad in the streets.
All stalls and booths are removed and tho
houses are barricaded with mats. 1t Is
only in the country, where such precau-
tons are physically impossible, that
gllmpses of the emperor may be had as
he passes swiftly along in his magnificent
sedan.
SO vast, indeed, has been the gulf of sep
aration between the sovereign and his
people that many articles have been eX-
.
and, therefore, forbidden to the latter,
as, for instance, the color yellow. which
is exclusively the emperial emblem
The kotow, or form of worship, is rem
dered not merely to the person of the
sovereign in Pekin, but to every form in
which he delegates his authority to
others. 1t is well-known that the imperial
edict Is always received with the nine
prostrations and the burning of incense.
But It is not so generally understood that
an official Of even superior rank has to
perform the kotow on meeting another Of
fetal who has recently quilted the inn
perial presence. Similar obeisances are
paid during the week containing his birth
day TO the emperor i'm the imperial tenn
pie to be found in every provincial cap
ital. The fact that the emperors proper
name is never mentioned, and that to pro-
nounce IL is a criminal offense. shows how
exclusively the dynastic policy OF the
Chinese has always been. on ascending
the throne the ruler takes what Is called
a "kwoh hao." and by that name he be-
comes known to his people and to his
tory.
An extraordinary sensation was occa-
stoned some time ago when, during his
annual pilgrimage TO the eastern tombs
of his ancestors the emperor not only per-
mitted himself to be seen by the people,
but actually stopped and spoke to some
particularly audaclouS persons VINO VEN
tured forward to present petition. Nat
urally there are mandarins who look upon
such departure from the established order

peror-ho is just 23-seemed TO be bent ac-
cording TO his lights on ruling In a more

rect personal share in the conduct Of the

Secretary Gresham himself, as soon as
the Atalantis project was brought to his

The powers have been communicated with

to affect great concern over
the mayoralty, and so concentrate
opposition on that shining mark. All
the reform being thus concentrated IN
one direction, Tammany will put IN us
quiet work on the assemblymen and minor
offices. Tammany does not expect its man
for mayor to win. If he should, so much
the better. Without the mayoralty Tam
many would be slightly handicapped. It's
creatures fill all the important positions.
The next mayor of New York cannot
touch them. Hence the Tammany men are
laughing in their sleeves at the premature
joy of the reform element, which Is de-
lighted at the prospect of making the
Tammany tiger walk the plank. The
victory would be a very Pyrrhic one.
Should the election result in a particu-
larly adverse majority against Tammany,
the sachems will temporarily sojourn in
Europe. There is no doubt whatever
about this, although all the masnates
from Croker down, have been vigorously
denying advance rumors to the effect that
they will HE away.
The campaign promises to be unusually
expensive. The contributors to the funds

Not a few of them have been complaining
that at the present rate it would be
cheaper to let Tammany continue to plum
der the city. One of the tricks it will be
necessary to guard against is the close
scrutiny of every ballot cast that the
tiger is getting ready to make. Every
voter will have fifteen of them to vote,
and every point is to be strained to throw
out defective ones on technical grounds.
There have also been arranged various
series of last cards, and men prominent
IN the reform movement are to be as
