THURSDAY. November 8. 1894.
THE LEGISLATURE.


The legislature Of the state is so near
unanimously republican that it may not
share the responsibility tor the manner
in which it acquirs itself il it would. It's
every act will have direct influence upon
the future of the party which has com.
missioned it to legislate tor the state. It
has in its power, untrammeled as it will
be by any appreciable opposition, to leg
'slate how it will. and whether wisely,
carelessly or viciously, the party will be
neld to strict accountability, as it should
be.
Such being the case not only is rare
judgment and tact demanded, but cuur
age, and above all integrity OF purpose
and loyalty to principle. The recent.
political revolution should DE an object
lesson as to the peril OF forsaking princi-
pie for mistaken policy. Parties. like
individuals, ought to be alive to the fact
that principle is always the best policy.
Democracy was dethroned for setting at
defiance its pronounced pledges, and for
the utter disregard OF the rudiments of
common honesty in public affairs.
What the people, now demand of the.
republican party is a course of action
that shall be everything that democracy
is not, nothing that it is. rs
There are important matters of legis-
1ation to lie Drought before the legislat-
IRE at its session that must be met with
out fear or favor To devise just
measure OF taxation Of railroad proper
tv is one, and not the least important.
A law is demanded that shall be just
and equitable as between the state and
the railroads. between the different rail-
roads, and between the railroads and the
several counties in which large tracts of
railroad lands are situated. This is
possible; but not if the railroads are per-
mitted to influence its framing and pas
sage, any more than if it be relegated to
the extremists resident in some of the
counties most affected.
There is United States senator to
elect and already our friends. the enemy,
are seeking to complicate matters by
suggesting a multitude of candidates
against the only logical candidate at
this time, Senator Washburn. One
would think after the rebuke so recently
administered that party for its splendid
failure to- manage it's own affairs, it
would hardly attempt to assume the bur-
den OF managing the affairs ofthe repub-
ican party.
From first to last it should be the
prime determination of the party in
power to keep from scandal--to avoid
even the appearances of evil. The FIRST
rumors Of corruption should be probed
to the bottom, aud honestly and fairly
disposed Of. Give the corruptionist, it
he shall appear, short shriit. If the leg
islature would have the respect and con- .
.idence OF the people it must earn it.
legislatures everywhere are prejudged
the people-are held to be guilty OF
everything conceivabIy wrong, until
new prove their innocence. And rhe
history of legislation is full OF facts to
explain, 1fnot warrant. this unjudicial
trend otpublic opinion.
The party has it in it's power to make
arecord which shall be honorable, benef-
cial and perpetuating. Make it.

It has neglected the construc- ton of means of communication between Corea and the mainland; it has no navy that can compare with the Japanese it has no money in the treasury, and even Chinese troops expect to paid occasionally. On the other hand, Japan has fine navy for an eastern power; has the ocean for highway to the seat of war; can transport men and supplies without danger of interference from China i; has treasury with several hundred million dollars in its vaults, and seems, in view of these facts, 10 he master of ihe situation.

PhilIaIs.

Whist players will be interested in the new game of "Phililis." The name is derived from the whist of the ancients. It comprises the cards now in use, with the four suits, running consecutively from one to six, six being the lowest card in each suit.
 To these is added new suit called the pyramid suit, the symbol being a pyramid and expressed in the same way as the symbols on the ordinary playing card, and being yellow in color.
 This suit is one of innovation, and the ether and most striking consists of three cards called the "Pleiades." Y" The pleiades are black in color, and alike in appearance and value in which they are used. With the Philitis cards the game of whist is played exactly as is the ordinary game. There are five suits consisting of nine cards each, instead of the four of thirteen each, with the addition Of the three pleiades.

DISPATCHES from the eastern states announce that the Chinese are being called home to take part in the war with Japan. This is probably an incorrect report, as the imperial gov ernment, if it needs it's American subjects, would commence {, collect them from the Pacific coast, where they are far more numerous and nearer China than in New York or Indiana. It appears to be true that immigration from China has closed.
