"Thsy seek to seize our trains and sp-

"We have simply refused to surrender

To the Officers and Members of the Kansas No
ttOnGJ Guard;
/ desire through the press to express
my gratitude to you. l took charge Of
the Office Of sdjutsnt general of the
state amid the most intense political
strife, with terrible prejudics from my
political enemies, and a deep jealousy,
and insatiate desire FOR my place by some
CT my pretended political friends. This
in brief was the condition when + ac-
cepted the position.
But through the kindness Of my COM
mander-in. chief, and q liberal supply Of
patience, things improved with time. By
strict economy we were able to give the
guard regimentsl encsmpment in 1893. /
say frankly 1t was not what / would
like to have seen it, for the boys were
subject to many inconveniences that
they should have been spared. In these
encsmpments have had the pleasure
OF meeting every company and band
composing the guard, except company
"C" third regiment, stationed at Osborn.
This exception l very much regret. I
can assure the guard, that, after meet
ing them face to face and forming the
acquaintance Of officers and men, / can
truly congratulate the state upon the
high moral tone Of the men composing
the military department. 1t was my
great desire to have the guard at the
Worlds Fair, but found it beyond my
power to succeed. / have done all in
my powerSto improve the condition of
the guard, and il I have failed / hope
my actions will not be harshly criti-
cised. Very much, and may say with
pleasure nearly all Of the prejudice be-
tween myself and the guard has passed
away, and / wish to tender to the Off
Gers and men OF the guard my heartfelt
and sincere thanks for their courteous
treatment toward me and this off 70
during my term, and may the state see
fit 10 still more highly appreciate your
true value. I retire from the Office with
no regrets, feeling that I have done my
duty, as best could under many trying

again to thank you and may the ma.

History Repeats Itself.


In 1850 both branches of congress and
the executive were held by the demo-
Gratis. The opposition party had been
badly shattered in the preceding ma
tionsl election by most decisive victory
or the democrats. A fundamental ques-
ton, involving the natural rights of man,
which had presented itself for legisls-
tion, had so divided the democratic
party that when it met to formulate
platform and nominate man to repre-
sent it, harmonious action was impossi-
bic. Divisions followed, personified in
different nominations. A new party
came into existence to champion the
rights OF man, and it was successful be-
yond anticipation.
To-day both branches of congress and
the executive are held by the democrats.
the republican party was so badly shat
tered in 1892 that it has no possibility of
sgain carrying sufficient number OF
states to place it in power. A fundsmen-
tai question, involving the natural
rights OF man, has presented itself for
legislation. A privileged class demand
continuance Of it's "vested rights" az
it calls them, to rob labor Of it's products
by enlarging the measure which mess-
ures them. A portion Of the demo-
cratic party-the South and West
stand for the rights of the people, and
is REINFORCED by portion of what was
the republican party-the North and
part Of the West--which will never re-
turn to the republican party. The
breach between the Douglas and Breck-
eDridgs factions Of democracy in 1850
was not near. so deep or so wide, as is the
breach to-day between JeffsrsoniRn de-
mocrscy and Cleveland democracy. The
two will never Ggain hsrmoniZs on q
platform and man, and the principles
Of Jefferson and Lincoln will be cham
pioned by political party. The politi-
OnA UIBbuiAbblO"s VI OuS wings buu bnS
democrats in 1860 evolved new party
which went to victory; the political or
CARNATIONS nf the republicans aud demo-
crats in 1891, will evolve new party
which will 60 to victory. The platform
in it's principal plsnks will bs-govern-
ment to issue money; banks Of lesue to
be abolished; silver to be restored to the
place it held prior to 1873; and an in

EARONETs IN LOW STATION.

One an Irish Policeman and Another
II Stage Supernumernry.
1t has been discovered that among
the men Of the Royal Irish Constabu-
larry there is a baronet. A writer in
the World of this week gives his name.
1t is Sir Thomas Echlin, the seventh
baronet Of the name. Even he. how
ever, low as his fortunes seem to have
fallen, is better off than his uncle, Sir
Frederick Echlin, the fifth baronet: OR
his father, the sixth baronet. The
former was a pauper in receipt Of pa
rochial relief at Edenkerry, in Kildare,
until he was granted a email pension
from the Greatham Hospital at Stock
ton-on-Tees while the latter was a SUI
perannuated peasant, living at Kilmea-
que, in the same county, who was sup
ported by contributions from his three
sons, the present baronet and his two
brothers, the elder a private in the Life
Guards and the younger formerly q
footman and now q stationmaster.
The Echlins number a prelate and a
judge Of more than ordinary eminence
among their direct ancestors, and their
baronetcy dates from the reign Of
George 1. Another baronet, it is said,
is among the minor performers on the
London stage, and yet another was
quite recently a photographer in a Lon
don suburb.-London Daily News.

Fargo, n. D., Dec. 4.-Thc Hirshiield
case is ended, and the yonng bride Of
the Montana millionaire has been de-
clared by Il court of equity 20 be Il
legal wife. Judge Mcconnell gave the
decision denying the application Of
Aaron Hirshtield for the annulmcnt Of
the marriage contract at the conclus-
ion OF arguments Of counsel. The tie
cision was given orally, the'court stat
ing it did not care to point out tcsti-
mony unworthy of credencc. The
plaintiffs claim, he said, that two
armed men forced him to accompany
the defendant to the office Of q justice
Of the peace, where they We're married
under duress, must be substantiatcd so
clearly that there was little room for
doubt, OF it must be shown that the
plaintiffs mental condition was such
that he was incapable of making a
contract. The first proposition he did
not think was clearly sustained. He
believed Aaron Hirshtield was q
changed man, but not to the extent
that he could be held to be irresponsi-
BILE. He had taken careful note Of the
evidence; had followed each witness
closely, and was confident he had lost
no point that would be of benefit to
the plaintiff, and say no other way in
justice than to hold the marriage con-
tract valid and deny a decree.
When the judge commenced to de-
liver his decision the silence was pro-
found. The spectators leaned for
ward with anxiety depicted on every
countenance. The judge had given
warning that there was to be no APP
plause, and the crowd respected his
comma and; but when he said Il deny

went up swelled to a murmur of APP

house nothing could prevent the jubila-
ton of the crowd. Women who had

latter i'll the negative, and an offender
was actually elected from n of these
cars the other day by a man accom-
panying an indignant woman. What
makes the persistence Of the women
singular is that that the smoking cars
are much less comfortable and attrac-
tive than those provided for general
use. The Philadelphia newspapers are
courageously supporting the men in

GOODBYE JIMMY DURNs.
The Ramsey County Ex-AuditOr Is
MfSSinK.

st. Paul, Dec. 4.-Jalnes III. Burns,
eX-auditor of Ramsey county, had so
far effaced himself yesterday that two
detectives armed with Il warrant for
his apprehension could not find him in
Il %twelve-hour search, and there is a
suspicion among the police that his
former haunts will know him no more.
The immediate cause Of Mr.. Burns
fitting was in the fact that Il new
warrant for his arrest Was issued at
$50 yesterday when Louisa I,cidel Of
milwaukee,. his mother-iE-law. swore
out a complaint charging him with
having embezZlcd from her the sun
and servant.
MI. Burns has lived for some time
in a we'll equipped house at 3G3 Good
rich avenue. About five years ago he
married the daughter Of Henry Reidel,
who was at the time a widow. The
lady had two children and some
a About two weeks ago William
Burns of Saginaw, Mich, a brother Of
James H., came to st. Paul, and some
effort was made to straighten out
Burns affairs. These efforts came to
q standstill last Tuesday. Tuesday
afternoon Burns took an appraiser
from the auction rooms of kavanagh
L. johnson and asked him to put q
price on the furniture in the house.
The house was very we'll furnished,
but only $500 was offered for every
thing as it stood, and the offer was
accepted. That evening the house was
closed up and Mrs. Burns disappeared
and has not been seen since. Neither
has Mr.. Burns brother been noticed
about town. The household goods have
been taken to the warerooms of the
a~uctioneers.
James H. Burns was about the city
as usual until yesterday. He had not
been sleeping at his house, but that he
was in town yesterday is not to be
questioned. His brother-in-law, John
Suhr, of 1853 Smith avenue, met him
on Wabasha street yesterday after
noon at 2:3O. Mr.. Suhr says that he
looked odd and did not speak to him.
That is what accounts for the suicide
theory, and Mrs. Suhr is the origi-
nator Of 1t. She thinks that Mr.. Burns
has made way with himself, and Mrs.
Reidel thought last night that there
might be something in it when a re-
porter told her that her son-in-law had
not yet been located by the police.
