LAW ENFORCEMENT.

1t is almost enough to make person feel
ASHAMED of Kansas" when we place the fol-
lowing manly letter of Hon. A. d. Andrews,
one of New York city's police commissioners,
alongside of the cowardly trucking to "local
sentiment by Granny Morrill,. 1t seems that
the law can be, and is, enforced i'll the largest
city OH this continent, Notwithstanding "local
sentiment" is against it; but here i'll Kansas, i'll
a city of less than 1000 population, our putty
governor claims that it can't be done. But,
then the fact that Mr.. Andrews has no bank
depending OH saloons for support, and Morrill,
has, may account for it.
Here is Mr.. Andrews letter, which we clip
from the New York World of July 9th:
To he of
Your telegram just received.
l cannot at this late hour discuss the Sunday
liquor question, except to say that we will ell
force whatever Sunday laws the Legislature
chooses to enact.
We were told that the present laws could not
be enforced. The result is instructive not only
to the public but to the police. 1t demonstrate
ed to the police what could be accomplished by
them when every man tries honestly and fear
lessly to do his duty. 1t demonstrated to the
public that the laws of the land can be enforced; !;
so that in the future, when Sunday or other
laws are made, it will be with view to their
strict enforcement, and not with view to their
corrupt evasion. This ought to lead to greater
care and deliberation in the enactment of our
laws, and consequently to all improvement in
the public service. A. d. ANDREWS,
Police Commissioner.
May the Lord hasten the day when Kansas
can elect governor who has backbone enough
to be loyal to the constitution and laws of the
state.

PETER Wants q New Party.

Topeka, July I3.-Although the leaders of
the Peoples party, as rule, think their party
is good enough, Senator w. A. PETER is an ex-
ception. He thinks there must be new party.
In recently-published letter, he said: GA
new party must be formed, because there is new
work to be homework that the 'other parties
are not fit to do-a new party fresh from the
people; a party made of men with courage
equal TO their convictions. But it will be built
on foundation deeper and broader than free
silver or 'bimetalism, for these terms express
nothing that reaches the core of the troubles
that confront u.s."

TRUST.

Out of the vortex of things unknown,
Elfland, Imp.land or home of the gods,
Into the present born or blown
AS fragrance of flowers or dust of clouds,
Or verdure and bloom of the springtime sod,
What do you know of yourself and God ?
What can you grasp of endless duration?
What do you know of limitess space
What of partial soul salvation,
With hell for the rest of the human race?
Do you feel the the stress of the pitiless strife
OF death and decay with birth and life
All, life What is it A fash, a flame,
meteor? What of of its scope and trend
Its joy and sorrow-its pride and shame
Whence its beginning and where will it end ?
Will it vanish as vapor, corrode with rust,
When its throne and temple dissolve in dust ?
We need but to know if we live our best,
If we Danish the gross in thought and deed,
We may rise on the wings of tho SOULS unrest,
Above the shackles of law or creed,
To the shining realms of grander good
The fields of broader brotherhood
Then why should we wrangle, affirm, dissent,
Struggle and fail-as fail we must
To compass the Infinite Let content
Pillow our heads on the breast of Trust
Trust that the Supreme Good who gave
Life and its blessings will guard and save.

THE strongest argument against free silver is
to be found in the fact that the treasury cannot
possibly keep more than one-eighth of the total
supply of silver dollars in circulation. They
are put out at every opportunity, but they will
not stay out.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
The fact that the Globe-Democrat will give
editorial utterance to so outrageous falsehood
as the above shows to what desperate straits the
gold-bugs are put for something to arrest the
"free-silver craze" that is sweeping the coun-
try. The man who wrote that knows, and
everybody else knows, that silver is never paid
out of the treasury if it can be avoided. In
1893, when holders Of Sherman notes which
were redeemable in either gold or silver de-
manded silver for them, Mr.. Carlisle absolutely
refused to pay it out, and they were forced to
go out and buy silver certificates, which he
could not refuse. He was in this way compell-
ed to pay out silver dollars, but even then he
did it under protest, and made a public an
nouncement that he would have preferred to
pay gold. If the government is so anxious to
get the silver dollars into circulation, why
didn't it pay running expenses with silver in
stead of selling bonds to get gold for that pur-
pose2-Topeka State Journal.

In the conventions, yes At the polls, no
Both Republican and Democratic free coiners
will make their threatened demonstration" in
the national conventions. There is no room
for doubt on this point. In both conventions
they will be beaten. This point also can safe
ly be considered settled. From this time OH
ward to the conventions the Republicans will
have no trouble with the question, for when the
league at Cleveland muzzled the delegates from
the mining states all chance for a disturbance
in the Republican ranks OH the question this
year ended In the convention the crushing
process will be substituted for the muzzling,
and the silver "incident," in its present stage
SO far as it concerns the Republican party, will
be closed.
The Democracy, though, will not get off SO
easily. Taking all the states together the sill
verite Democrats outnumber the other sort of
Democrats, but the other sort have the brains,
the discipline and the courage. These quail
These qualities beat mere numbers in politics,
war; and wherever else they come in conflict.
In all the Western and Southern states which
hold conventions to nominate state officers there
will be fight between the two Democratic ele-
ments, and some of the states which have no
officers to nominate may get up conventions to
fight on silver, and nothing else. These wi m
giles and this great expenditure of energy W, I
hurt the Democracy for that time, and perhaps
for the whole campaign, but it will have no ef-
feet on the national convention. In the con-
vention, the silverite Democrats will easily be
beaten, as they were in 1888 and IS92 strad
ding platform will be framed and man will
be put up for president who will, if elected,
veto every silver bill that gets within his reach.
But what will the silver Republicans and
Democrats do when their parties turn them
down in the conventions? They will do as
they did in previous presidential years. Some
will sulk and others will buster, but all, or
nearly all, will vote the ticket. A free-silver
Democrat can gain nothing by voting for an
anti-silver Republican. A rotor Republican
will not help his cause by steering out from the
Republican Scylla and getting swallowed up by
the Democratic Charybdis. There will be
free-silver party, of course-that is, there will
be if that Sibley Stewart Jones cotere of cranks
holds together until next year, and there will
be Populist party, but these cabals will have
no more effect on politics in the conditions that
will prevail next year than will the Prohibition
ists the woman-sufragists or the single-taxers.
In order to make his vote count, and to keep
up a living connection with things, the Repub-
lican and the Democrat will have to go with
one or the other of the two parties which will
stand OH the same side of the vital question of
the day, and he will be exceedingly likely to
stick to his own.-Globe-Dem

THE committee investigating the sweat-shops
of New York report that thousands of girls

ports 10000 prostitutes i'll the same city. Is
there any connection between these two reports?

Ex.GOv. ~. John on Politics and Politicians.

Whether or not people agree with the prohi-
bition views of Ex-Governor St. John, of Kan
sas, there is a refreshing ghtforwardness
about the interview which we give this morn
ing that must commend it to the lovers of
frankness. There is no beating about the bush,
no diplomatic reservations no cunning effort to
"hedge," such as we are accustomed to in in
terviews with the professional politician. Peo-
pie who read what he says cannot mistake his
meaning, and cannot help knowing "where he
is at" He does, indeed, carry water on both
shoulders, but not in the ordinary political
sense of duplicity He is first, last and all the
time for the old oaken bucket that hangs by
the we'll, and though, as an issue, it is moss
covered bucket and has seen considerable serv-
ice in campaigns he believes it is far better for
individual and national happiness than the beer
bucket or the little brown jug. Not less manly
and direct is the Ex-Governor of Kansas on
other public questions of the day, and with re-
gard to one of them, at least, he will find him
self in agreement with many thousands of hon
est men in Maryland. Whatever may be the
case elsewhere, we are happy to assure him
that the people of this state have not forgotten
or forgiven 'the tools of monopoly who last
year "used their position to protect and perpet-
uate gigantic trusts which continually plumber
under the guise of law. Baltimore Sun.

Topeka, July I3.-In published interview

Tire to be appointed chief justice, incidentally
charged that Dr. Biddle, of Emporia, was ap

Lambert for the atter's vote in the Rogers case.
He said: 'Ike Lambert was OH the Rogers

he was for Rogers. had received repeated
assurance that he was not, but, much to my
surprise, he voted against us. There is no
doubt in my mind that the matter was fixed up
by the promise to have Biddle appointed super
intendent at Osawatome"
"Then," continued Mr. Thacher, "There is
Major Warner another member of the commit
tee A friend of mine who had visited Warner
at his house came to me and told me that he
would be all right. He said that when he went
to Warmers house, Warner brought out bottle
and offered him a drink. Either of the two
men drink more than Rogers, and still they
voted to convict the old man of drunkenness
when engaged in his official duties, when the
whole faculty and board of regents all testified
before the committee that they had never seen
Rogers intoxicated. 1t was great outrage.
Now l understand that Warner is to be appoint
ed on the board of directors of the penitentiary.
If he is it will verify what l have said about
the deal.

Gold Base q Fraud.

If congress has power to coin money and
fix the value thereof as the constitution de-
clares it has, then why use base?
If the base is not as large as the structure,
then is it an honest base? Is it not fraud?
If it is an honest base, dollar for dollar, as is
claimed, then why not use the base as a circu-
lating medium, and thus make boarded wealth
useful?
If the base is not as large as the structure,
but as at present, one of gold to three and
half of currency, then are not both base and
redemption frauds?-SledgeHa Hammer.

a pNsnRr SAND STORM.


The following Is taken from recent
letter written by Mr.. Whitetaw Reid
describing the thrilling experience of him
self and Mrs. Reid in sand storm on
the Saham.
THE first gust swept tine tent from Its
fastenings and spread THE suffocating
canvas over the sleepers. Then 1t was
swept away into the night, leaving them
all at the mercy of the bllndlng, choking
cloud of sand. The minute particles cut
into Gheir flesh, got into their eyes and
mouths and buried them in Its drifts. 1t
fioWLd down their backs, filed their shoes
and every fold in their clothes. The
force of the blast blew the particles even
through the cfl.nlHs In their trunks and
when the bags and boxes were opened
later they were found to be full of sand.
The almost imperceptible particles were
driven between the leaves of the books
In these bags and boxes. The storm lasted
seven hours.
"At THE outbreak of the storm the
camel drivers, who had seen such things
before, piled the camel saddles about Mr..
and Mrs. Reid, and covered their heads
with blankets Then they built up a bui-
wark of trunks and lay PROSTATE while
the Suffocating blasts continued. The
seven hours of the storm were hours Of
agony. Every one in the party was al
most suffocaHed by the sand, and when
Ut was over they arose as IL from the
dead. The faces of all were cut and sore
from the flying sand"

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The question of the representation OF
the Southern states in the next national
Republican convention is likely to be-
come of interest. 1t will be remembered
Uhut the national convention Of 1892, at
Minneapolis, adopted a resolution recon-
mending the national committee TO so
alter the basis OF representation that the
states which give Republican majorities
sbafl have a corresponding representation
In the convention; that is, that the states
which must be relied upon to elect a
Republican president shall have some
thing to say about Ghe nomination Of the
candidate.
This resolution was adopted because OF
the fact that President Harrison could
not have been nominated at Minneapolis
had 1t not been for the support Of the
delegates from the Southern states. not
one of whom gave him an electoral vote.
In that convention there were 9O6 votes;
necessary to a choice. ASS. Harrison re-
ceived the following votes from Southern
Democratic states: Alabama, is; ArlOan-
sas, 49, Florldl, s; Georgia, 26; Kentucky.
22; Louisiana, s. Maryland, ii; Mississip,
pi. 10 "a; Missouri, 2S; North Carolina,
II 2-s; South Carolina, 10; Tennessee, III
Texas. %; Virginia, Q; and West Virginia,
10; total, $40 10 Harrdsons majority over
all, was 1e6.
The national committee will not meet
until next february, but the matter is
beginning to receive attention because
Senator Elklns. OF West Virginia, who is
a candidate FOR the nomination for vice.
president. proposes to fight the PROPOSE
tlon for a change. He calls himself
Southern man." and Is going to run his
campaign on that basis. Hence he does
not want the power of THE Southern
states IN the convention abridged or cur
tailed Whether he will succeed In his
purpose to prevent change remains TO
be seen.
