EDITORIAL NOTES.

The politicians will want to foreclose
the mortgage they have on this old
country after a while.
Now that the Kentucky primaries
are e we hope the daily newspapers
will distribute the headlines BLOOD

Narrowly Averted."
State Auditor Furman and Mr.. s.
Ohio Wilson attracted much attention
by walking along a street in Asheville,
arm in arm, one day last week. This
means more cooperation, We suppose.
President Cleveland has dropped out
of sight as completely as any man ever
dropped. Snollygoster Ham, Of Georgia
is mentioned oftener in the Democratic
press now than 1.-The biggest man in
the party"
Keep it before the people that the
Republicans paid $15s, 155, 442. 81 for
pensions In 1893. The Democrats have
paid $166, 541, $4,000 this year. We
have had these figures in every paper
for several weeks and they cannot be
denied.
Two representatives of a building
and loan company waylaid and tried
to murder the agent of a rival com
pany in q West Virginia town the
other night. We will be more CHART
able and say we think nothing but
robbery was intended.
We have read the Democratic news
papers quite closely since the Peoples
party came into existence, and find
that the most Objectionable feature
about the new party is that it insists on
having candidates in the field. We be-
lieve that if the Peoples party would
dispense with this fad the Democrats
would fall on their knees and worship
the Peoples party.
Desha Breckenridge, son of the ex
Congressman, attempted to stab Mr..
Livingston, a political opponent of his
father, at Lexington, last Friday. Liv-
ingston threw up his hand and caught
the dirk, probably saving his life. but
getting a bad cash in n of his fingers.
There is bad blood in Kentucky and q
war of determination may begin be-
tween the friends of Breckenridge and
Owens, the successful candidate.
The Democratic majorities sent out
from Alabama and Arkansas are myth
ical. But if they were correct, the
Peoples party need not be discouraged.
1t carried several counties in Arkansas
and carried nearly every white county
in Alabama, electing thirty. eight mem,

This is the showing for twenty one
years. The young man born in 1874
casts his first vote this year. The Con
servatives, that is the people as a whole,
wrested the government from the Rad
icals in 1871, and corrected many
fragrant abuses. Soon, however, the
Democratic machine had captured the
government from the Conservatives,
and the figures above illustrate how
the machine has run the State Govern

EE GIVES KANSAS HER DUE.

The GIeed article in the March Forum
brings out extended comment from all
quarters. His standing as writer en-
titles him 10 I respectful hearing from
all classes. He is not only truthful. but
competent and painstakiug in providing
data to establish every assertion made.
Re is neither dogmatic nor over-zealous
In his statement of facts.
1t is refreshing TO see writer of his
ability, in a conscientious manner, ST.
lence the cynicism of fools and slipshod
correspondents. Ho plainly states that
the standard of intelligence, good morals
and business integrity. in Kansas is above
that OF New York city, and proves it.
That he does it without fear or favor
and simply for the sake of truth, only
gives force to what he proves. The
habit of reviling Kansas for the single
offenss of having gone wrong politically
at one state election, had grown so popu-
lar that nothing short of such sledge-
hammer blows between the eyes of her
slanderers would meet the case. Her

dude who inherits a fortune, bedecks
himself with plush and dia-
monds, and thereafter assumes
to look down upon intelligent people.
The few dollars and so called colder
civilization" of eastern states afford Z
sorry plea fer their assumed supremacy
in all good qualities. Mr.. Gleed draws
the lines plainly and logically, places
merit where it belongs. He contrasts
the patriotism and genuine worth of the
industrious kansan with that of the
anarchist and socialist of New York.
His words appeal to the reason of every
honest, intelligent man. The paper will
be discussed with much credit to Kansas
and her people. One thing should be
kept in mind: Kansas people have the
courage to stand by their state There
are no apologies due at any quarter and
no advice wanted. We even hold opin-
ions Of our own on most matters, one of
which is that the east has no monopoly,
of the intelligence, business integrity
and political purity of the country.

WILL SOMEBODY EXPLAINp

Will somebody explain why the Grand
Army headquarters are held at Topeka
with the grand commander and his
adjutant residing at Wichita? Hereto
fore the headquarters of the order have
gone with the grand commander. There
have occurred no exceptions to this rule.
When Barney Kelly was elected the
headquarters were transferred to his
home at Topeka, Of course That had
always been the rule. Why now, or by
what hocus-pocus are Commander Camp
bell and his adiutant forced to the
unnecessary expense and waste of time
to make a trip TO Topeka every time
their official presence at headquarters
becomes necessary: At the bottom
there is some scheme or job. Who will

THAT coNGREs S OF PRACTICAL MEN.

The closing hours of the Wichita
grain congress were replete with good
feeling and brilliant expression. There
were present number of the brightest
men Of half dozen southern states, ex-
United States senators, ex-goyernors, and
the keenest writers, who have given
years of study to the problem of how in
the mutual interest of each, to break
down the sectional barriers between tie
gulf states and the west which have
been magnified by politicians and con-
iinuaily animated by the selfish greed of
New York and The east. Equitable
traffic lines and routes once established
between the agricultural west to and
through the gulf ports, and the most ex-
pert political economist would fail Of es-
timating the measure of the commercial
loss TO New York. That city together
with Boston, Philadelphia and Bal.imore
all regret Chicago, notwithstanding The
mariS and finances of the latter city
;-re all directly tributary to these east
ern cities; but, once defect traffic,
southern channels, direct and through
southern ports 10 Europe, and
financial and industrial revolution
for the entire country would
ensue. In such an event tue manufac-
curing industries of the east would move
quickly westward and the concentrated
energies and dominating forces of Wall
street would be scattered. The men
who occupied the hours of Wednesday
afternoon in that convention in brilliant,
incisive and comprehensive speeches
were conversant with the facts and pos
sibillties hinging on the consumation of
that proposition, and the conviction was
as logical as overwhelming Still there
was no politics or sectionalism talked,
only the deductions of facts offered by
experience and observation, coupled
with the obvious elements of the situa-
ton, There was more practical business
sense touching community interest and
national prosperity, embracing trans
portation and interior development, in
the talks of that gathering of practical
business men than is heard in the con-
gress Of the United States in six months.
1t was congress of business not politics,
uninfiuenced by railway combines. man
ufacturing trusts or capital syndicates,
and it will prove land mark in the
general polity and the cemnonweal of
the west and south.
