CORRUPTION IN LEGISLATION.

criticism of the Eagles editorial
of Friday morning, on the corruption
and delinquencies of our lawmakers,
| reaches us. While cOnsenting to the
severity of our arraignment we are,
nevertheless, convinced of its truthful
ness. A representative government
has its weak side. Its safety and Ell
fc:ency. its justice and equality inhere
wholly in the purity Of the patriotism
of its people. There are those OF the
world who hold that representative
governments are in a decadent state'
their weakness growing out OF the
abuses cited in the editorial criticised.
The great Adam Smith held TO the
same views touching the parliament
rule of England.
The trouble seems to US to be that
the best men are not chosen for our
lawmakers They are for the most
mart men who f1atter the electors ana
who gain popularity by riding, with
great zeal, partisan hobbies. They en-
COMPASS their nominations by the
tricks of wire pulling known to all
politicians. Once elected they imme-
diately lay plans to encompass their
reelection. Processing great loyalty
TO their constituents and to their local
interests they become the creatures Of
corporate patronage and monopolistlc
influences, who in turn take care or
their election expenses. In the mean
time the representative votes for mea-
sureS whose ultimates he does not
comprehend, or comprehending does
not care, as his personal interests over
shadow his duty to his constituency
and his oath. 1t is not the best and
purest men in legislative body who
become the dominant factors. 1t Is
the demagogue who leads and controls.
In a numerous body Of legislators the
element of deliberatiOn is minimized;
it becomes like a mass meeting, sub
ject to the same emotions, and govern
ed by the same common impulses that
control such asSemblageS. And then
there is the insidious influence Of pri-
yate interest, or the interests OF
friends, which enters into the cOnsid-
Grafton of public measures, and is apt,
perhaps unconsciously, to warp the
Judgment of the most upright legis
latOr.
OF course for the failures Of rep
resentative the people are primarily
responsible but so long as the more
competent of the people permit the
less competent to run the political
machine by appealing to the prejudices
of the masses there will be corrupt
lawmakers and consequent wrongs
and expressions.

CUBA AND CLEVELAND.

The patriots of Cuba having form
ally launched Republican form Of
government, they should be conceded
the usual rights of belligerants. They
have passed the stage Of rebellion and
are now fighting for the rights Of the
citizens of republic. What is the
matter with the old man of the
sea in Buzzard's Bay? There seems
every reason for recognizing the
belligerant rights Of a people who
have for months not only held
their own against the army and money
Of Spain, but farther succeeded in Or
ganizing a de factO government. Mr..
Cleveland seems as obliviOus to the ap-
peals of that people as he is to the de-
mand Of his own party that he decline
being a candidate for third term.
That pet idea of his that he is the man
of destiny and can make no mistakes
killed his own party. Diplomatic rep
resentatives are being sent from the
new Republic Of Cuba to the various
republic Of Central and South Amer
lea. They will receive cordial well
come from some Of the states at least.
There is no love for Spain nor for mon
archy in many of the republics to the
south Of US. If the leading nations
will recognize the new Republic of
Cuba, it's successful revolution will
soon be an accomplished fat
Disguise their feelings as they will,
the Spanish authorities must still admit
that they are fighting hopeless battle
against fearful odds. 1t is reported
that General CampoS has privately adj
mitted to a Spanish consul that the
Spanish government is engaged in 4
hopeless task. If the insurrectionistS
can hold out for another six months,
they are quite likely to win their
struggle.

WE CAN GO 1T ALONE.

It is time that all true Americaps
were learning that they are being
hoodooed by the gold crowd. The
question of erinstating silver is a
very simple one, yet there is a manifest
purpose to complicate it with unlimited
side issues. Experts have been hired
to invent new arguments, and dig up
statistics. to prove the impossibility
of maintaining a double standard.
when it has been done under varied
conditions almost from the beginning
of history Instead Of candidly say
ing that the purpose in holding us
down to a single gold standard is TO

John T. st. john. nan who mas
lived by his wits, a HISTORIAN who
was made governor of Kansas by
preaching prohibition, but who desert
ed the Republican party after he had
led it 10 defeat, is coming back 10
Kansas. 1t is said his present scheme
is TO become the leader OF the con-
solidated Pop and Prohib parties OF
this state and TO take up the prohibit
ton platform where the Republican
party laid it down. He expects such
success to land him again in the guber-
Material chair. or what he much pre-
fers in the United States senate. st.
Johns wife is developing 4 mining

expenses or cost Of which have been
supplied by him in making prohibit
ton lectures in California and the east.
For some reason the demand for his
oratorical efforts have fallen off. SO
he has made his arrangements TO re-
turn to Kansas where his only remain
ing worShipperS live. As the Topeka
Journal is welcoming him back. he
will probably locate in that city. There
is no other community in the state
that so thoroughly sympathizes with

four years that he was governor he

A COUNTRY PREACHER SPEAKS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Why is il so difficult to enforce the pro-
hibition liquor law?
The people IN all civilized lands are
ready 10 support and help enforce laws
against acknowledged crimes No COM
munity opposes laws against stealing.
burglary, murder and other acknowledged
crimes. But why is it so difficult TO get
people generally to support prohibition?
Why is not the whole state and nation
unanimous in favor of prohibition? They
ought TO be If the law Is just and II
harmony with the natural and inalien-
able rights OF man. II must be a de-
PRAYED community that Will not sustain a
law in harmony with righteous liberty.
But on every attempt 10 enforce proh.bi-
ton, community is divided and a fierce
war ensues and for awhile the blood IS
hot. hard words are spoken and friends
are made bitter enemies and they boy
colt each other, saints and sinners, tut
generally the battle ends in lttls more

somewhere
:. One reason why IL is difficult 20 en-
force a prohibttory liquor law is, because
so many do not believe that Il iSwrong
or immoral to use liquor temporarily or
when they think Il would be helpful. and
hence are indifferent 10 enforcing the
law. They believe with Solomon. Give
strong drink unto him that Is ready 10

The Kansas Breeze, the Official state

The Kansas Breeze, the official state
paper, and the Topeka Mail. both
weekly papers, have been consolidated
under the name OF Mail and Breeze.
There is to be no change In editors
or proprietors, simply a doubling up.
Both have been more than ordinarily
bright publications and the essence of
the two In one ought to prove pungent.
The proprietors claim that they will
have the largest circulation Of any
weekly publication in state, which If
true is little surprising, for the cheap
weeklies made up from the leading
dailies of Kansas have pretty large
list Of readers. However that may
be the Mail and the Breeze will I'M
doubleday prove one Of the Invest and
interesting weeklies of the west.

This talk Of credit raises the question
as to whether our national debt can
be funded at home or not. We main
tain that it can. France, with a per

her own people. Shall we admit that.
with our unbounded resources, We are
unable TO carry less than one-third of
that amount? The reason our bonds
are not in the hands Of our own peo-
pie is, that they have not been ohered

place them in the hands Of brokers
who find eager purchasers abroad, re-

on our credit abroad.
However it may be tabooed, we can

fact is that the United States can, I'M
