tiOn candidates by the republican papers
during the campaign lost the party thou
sands Of votes that could have been saved
had the campaign been clean and srgu-
mentabive one. Abuse never made converts
TO any cause, and it never will. Had the re-
publican papers Of Kansas spent as much
time in showing to the Alliance people the
fallaCy Of their arguments and claims ss
they did in abusing Willis and Robinson
the result would never have been in doubt.
The republican "mansgers" have learned
something during this campaign that they
will not soon forget, and ID is by good luck,
and not by good management, shat the les
SON did not cost the party the whole state
ticket.
Here is a very frank confession
after the battle was over, and its dis
astrous consequences to the republi-
can party were known, not only that
all the stories Matched and published
against opposition candidates, were
simply "abuse and vituperstion," but
that this character Of campaign was
deliberately planned by the party
managers and their subordinates were
instructed accordingly. Some of them
refused to obey the instructions, but
the Journal says the instructions were
given nevertheless. The Journal was
mistaken, however, in the inference
that the managers" had learned
something in that campaign. Repub-
lican managers" never learn any
thing. The same instructions have
been given respecting this campaign
that were given in 1890, and there is
the same slacrity of the press and
the stump speakers as then in the
adoption of these instructions. The
result will be even more disastrous to
the republican party.

renewal Of it's tenure Of power.
Speaking of this same bill in the
issue Of July 20 the Times said:
The senate bill is Questionable for Che
reasons outlined in Mr.. ClsVeland's letter,
and it ia made additionally Odious because
Senator German has undertaken to dictate
the action Of congress in it's favor.
The reasons outlined ia Mr..
Cleveland's letter" are as follows:
Every true democrat and every sincere
democrat knows that this bill, in it's pres
ent form, and as it will be submitted to che
conference, falls short of the cOnsumma-
ton for which we have long lsbored, for
which we have suffered defeat without dis
COuragement, which in its application gave
US a Eallying CRY in our day Of triumph,
and which. in it's promise Of accomplish
ment, is 80 interwovsn with democratic
pledges and democratic success that our
abandonment of the cause or the principles
upon which it rests means party perfdy and
party dishonor.
The Times on July "a also said OF
this dill:
On one side il may be said that failure 10
legislate for the relief Of the people will
forfeit public confidence in tine democratic
party. 10 will continue the needless bur-
dens which have exhausted their (the peO'
ple's) resources, prostrsted their energies
and destroyed their prosperity. Il will
put the democratic party on the defensive
in the impending congressional contest,
and a defensive fight is a lost battle.
Moreover, il will justify the accusation that
the democratic party is incapable Of gov
erning the country.
What is to be said on the other sidsP
Cleveland has said it all and said it will. IL
is simply that the senate bill fails TO fulfill
the obligations Of the democratic party,
and that the failure is 80 emphatic and in
excusable that it amounts to a betrayal Of
faith.
So we are to understand upon this
testimony that the passage Of a bill
which fails to fulfill the obligations
of the democratic party" a bill in
which that failure is SO emphatic
and inexousable that il amounts to q
betrayal Of faith" or in the language
of Mr.. Cleveland that its abandon
ment of democratic principles
means party per6dy and party DIS
honor" the passage Of such q bill is
glorious achievement" We are
to understand upon the testimony Of
the Times that by the passage Of
such a bill "the democracy Of the
country Is now renovated" and that
sits record Of obligations is fulfilled"
so that it will go before the country
again, not 10 doubt, but with q cer-
tainty of a renewal Of the tenure of
its power"
This is queer world and there
are lots OF queer people in it, but 1t
is safe to presume that there are not
as many fools left to swallow such
nonsense as this as the Times is
counting on. If there should be we

A LITTLE HISTORY.

of some facts in relation to the past
record Of Ben Glover that we are
tempted to present at this time. In
his first speech at Meriden, since re-
turning to his wallow, he is reported
as saying:
once believed and talked the good old
Alliance doctrine. When the Alliance was
first organized, had no idea il would de-
generate into what il did. When it hrst be-
came a political party, I did not believe
chat the wisest course had been taken, but
I IaCCepted the situation silently.
Ben Glover knows that statement
to be a deliberate fslsehood, and he
knows, too, that we have the docu-
ments over his own signature to
prove il so. He knows that he was
one Of the prime movers in the events
that changed the Alliance from a
school OF social and economic educs-
tion to an active force in politics, and
he knows that we know it and have
the documents to prove it. In a let
ter oyer his signature published in
the ADVOCATE January 30, 1890, he
said:
want to avoid saying anything unkina
Of THIS administration. IL is only follow
ing in the footsteps of republican admins
trations. Ishss been che policy Of the gold
contraction party, the bond absorption
party, the grand money trust Of this COun-
try which dominates both political parties
to contract money TO enrlch the bond-hold-
ers and impoverish the people. 1t has been
the policy Of the administration, whether
republican or democratic, from the begin
ming.
Holding these views, he issued a
call, as president Of the State Farm
ers' Alliance, dated Cambridge, KRs.,
March 3, 1890, for q meeting Of the
county presidents of the several
county Alliances Of the state, to be
held in the city Of Topeka on March
rs. He knows very well that his
purpose in calling that meeting was
to take preliminary steps for the Or
ganization of a new party, and he
knows very we'll that we were also
aware OF that fact at the time. He
knows very we'll that the county
presidents who came together on
March 25 understood this to be the
purpose Of the meeting. There were
members of the Alliance at that time
who thought that Mr.. Glover ex-
oeeded his authority in calling that
meeting, and there was considerable
adverse criticism of his action. There
wese still members Of the order then
who were not ready to graduate
The meeting assembled, however,
and the records show that sixty
eight counties were represented.
Resolutions were adopted setting
forth the grievances Of the people
and closing with the follow ing:
That the speedy control Of the Legislative
and executive departments Of our state and
national government By the industrial
classes uniting their siren 9Th at the ballot
box is an imperative necessity; and to Sc

Ben Glover was elected and served

these facts before them, they will be

Clover's statement that he did not

course for the Alliance and that he
merely accepted the situation in ST.
leDce. The fact is the moment any
man assumes any active part in re-
publican politics it becomes neces-
sary for him to begin to lie, and Ben
Glover falls into the rut with read
mess that shows him to be not alto
gether a stranger to it. He has been
there before. He knows, however,
that we have too many of his com.

his record, and he could have the

Americans Make a Nicaraguan
Officer Come to Terms.

NEW ORLEANS, March 29.-John
McCafferty, a wealthy planter at
Bluefields, in a letter to the Plea
yune, after describing the occur
renee at Bluefelds during the tenn
porary occupation of the British
marines, says: mo sooner had the
British masines been withdrawn
and the vessel steamed away than
the very unreliable and incapable
Lucayo brought thirty soldiers and
several boxes of arms and amunl-
ton from Rama. This was in direct
violation of an agreement entered
into between Lacayo and the Brit
ish Consul in the presence of the
United States Consul, Hon. S. G.
Braid, that Nicaraguan soldiers
would not be put on the police force
during the absence of the British
warship.
"The presence of these Nicara-
guans on the river steamer created
great anxiety. In less than ten
minutes 1000 American citizens,
all armed with revolvers, appeared.
It was a trying moment. Owing,
however, to the timely action of
the American Minister, Lacayo was
again brought to terms, binding
himself to confine his intruders to
his residence. If a shot had been
fred there would not have been a
Nicaraguan left alive in Bluefelds
inside of thirty minutes thereafter,
including Lacayo, who, beyond
doubt, deserves to be shot for the
many outrages he has perpetrated
against the inhabitants.
GA general meeting of citizens
was then convened, when the &C
ton of the citizens was endorsed,
and it was resolved that no assist
ance should be rendered to Lacayo,
and that the Americans shall re-
main neutral pending the arrival
of United States warship, unless
it becomes necessary to defend
their homes and property, when
they will be directed by the United
States Consul"

The Members of the Third District

trict Club, other than Portuguese,
met last night in the drill shed.
The meeting was called to approve
the action of the Executive Com
mittee of the club in its fight with
| the Central Committee OF the
American Union party. This was
done without dissenting voice.
w. r. Simms, a member Of the Elk
ecutive Committee, told the club
how the present dissension came
about, but he related nothing but
what has appeared in the columns
of the ADVERTISER. Every mem
Der present was solid for their can
didate, Judge Robertson, and
when a motion was made to re-
affirm his nomination it was car
ried unanimously. In regard to
the question of allowing employees
of the Government to run for dele
gates to the Constitutional Con-
vention, the chairman stated that
members of both the Executive and
Advisory Councils had been con-
suited before Judge Robertson
was put up, and they saw
nothing wrong in nominating
Government officials. He claimed
that his club had a perfect
right to nominate anybody it
chose, the central committee to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Be-
fore the meeting adjourned it was
moved to appoint w. G. King, Geo.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
Peerages Created By Mr.. Glad
stone.

This is from the Westminster
Gazette: The issue on which we
have to fight the Lords is their un-
fitness to take part in modern de-
mocratic government. The pre-
sent Peerage and the medieval
Peerage are two absolutely differ
ent things. They are not even
connected by the link of heredity.
At the end of the Wars of the
Roses there were only % Peers left.
Even at the end of the Tudors-
in 1603-there were only SO. The
Stuarts did their best, and created
1913, but so many died off in the
Civil War that only 153 remained.
Of the present Peerage few can
trace their line back beyond the
House of Brunswick. Three hum
dred have been created in his CEN
fury alone. Only As date back to
the Seventeenth Century, only Is
to the Sixteenth and only IL to the
Fifteenth. The Thirteenth Cen
fury cannot claim more than five.
The present Peerage, then, has
no more of the dignity of age than
it has the freshness of youth. It is
the direct and immediate creation
of the baser expediencies of modern
kings and modern party chiefs.
It represents the price paid to the
various interests that have crossed
the path of modern development.
1t is the quintessence Of modern
reaction. And the terrible thing
is that the temptation of thus east
ly overcoming resistance and at
tracing followers is obviously
growing. Seventy of the three
hundred Peers created this cen
tury date from the last ter
years. The peerages created by
Mr.. Gladstone have generally beer
from among shaky supporters, wht
might become troublesome in th,
Commons. Thus at every poin
the peerage is the incarnation ant
embodiment of resistance to tn
people, and the last refuge of ever.
