NOT IN A THOUSAND YEARS.

The association of Congregational
ministers which met the other day at
| Topeka after having invited Governor
| Morrill, TO address them turned about
and roasted that gentleman after he
| had left the hall. This onslaught has
| been followed up by the papers which
are fighting him because of the oppor-
| tunity it afforded them for venting
their spleen. Wichita came into the
deal as the fearful example, as did
Leavenworth, Atchison and other town
Kansas City having represented to
Governor Morrill, that strict enforce
ment Of the prohibition law was de-
sired by that community without re-
ference to cost or calamity, seems to
be in state of turmoil bordering on
violence, if language means anything.
Rev. Sheldon of Topeka and his adj
mirerS can stand on their heads or so
to pieces in their violent explosions,
but being ministers Of the gospel if
they must get outside Of the work COM
manded Of them by Christ they can at
Wichita in the matter of enforcing
the prohibition law is in no wise diff
ferent from what the city has been
for years; the same now as under the
administration Of Humphrey and Lew
cling and for most Of the time under
Martin, who attempted a bluff and fell
down. Wichita while being a far more
decent and sober town than Topeka is
no hypocrite. Her people do not know
that it is impossible to build a real
city, center of trade and population,
in the absence of saloons and of gam
bling and Of all the immoralitieS that
humanity deplores, but her people
know that no such city ever did exist
and that probably none ever will with
in the next thousand years.
A city, real center of population,
cannot maintain the morality of
country village any more than the
samlleSt community can maintain the
purity found within a single home.
Wichita expects to be a city, but does
not hope in acquiring the advantages,
opportunities and the greatness Of a
metropolis to escape the diSagreeable
things which inevitably obtain wher-
ever great aggregations of interests
and Of people are centered. We would
not say that outside of his salary and
the fineneSS of his church and parson-
age the average preacher cares moth
ing for the material side for which the
vast ma jority of the world is Struggl-
ing, but we will say that they often
act and talk as if it were true.

1t seems that the trainers of the con-
sticution. according TO the standard of
the goldbug. were lot of chumps.
Those men who sit about founding an
independent nation made no provision
for international conferences on the
money question, but declared that the
congress OF the United States shall
have power 10 coin money and regulate
the value thereof. Ii was these old
anarchists. socialists and fools who de,
clared that congress should name the
coin and determine It's weight and regu
late its value.

FOOLS AND ANARCHISTS.

While the single standard worship
ers of gold are continually urging that
after all the silver question can cut no
great figure in the deliberations of ma
tiOnal conventions, they lose no OppOr-
tunity TO call the thing q sweeping and
dangerous craze and to denounce all
silver advocates as fools, fanatics, So
cialistS and anarchists.
Some fellow, by the name Of John
Mcclure, asks the editor of the New
York Tribune this question: IF gold
money measures the value of merchan-
die does not merchandise measure
the value of gold:" The floundering
which the New York Tribune INDUCES
in trying to dodge and at the same
time explain, is very amusing.
If the goldite could but get it through
his selfish wool once that there are
other values known to civilization than
gold, or that the commercial affairs of
this world would glide along even if
there was not an ounce Of gold in ex-
istence, he would be better prepared
TO tackle the question now SO urgent.
While gold is one of the recognized
measures Of value no less certain is
it that commodities fix the value of
gold as a measure. The trouble with
these fellows reasoning is simply that
this measure of value, which they hold
and control, has become a dishonest
measure, a robbery measure, and the
world of men are demanding that it
be regulated by the value of other COM
modities prominent among which con-
venient commodities is silver.

Perhaps those who pooh. pooh the

ly working for a denomination for
a third term for himself are right,

is made by Democratic ex-con-

The report comes from Kentucky that
the Populists helped the Republicans to
carry that State. They had been declar
ing that they would never permit Ger.
Bradley, strong gold bug, to be elected
Governor. And yet they helped to elect
him Governor. They did worse than
that. They helped to elect Legislature
that, in all probability, will send gold
bug to TIE United States Senate in place
of Senator Blackburn, who gained the
hostility of gold men everywhere by his
able and courageous fight for the white
metal. The Populists, bowling for "free
silver" thus helped to drive nail in ST.
ver's coffin.
In Mississippi the Populist representa-
ton in the Legislature was reduced from
% toS.
In Kansas, the home of Populism and
the scene of its earliest triumphs, the
Republican majority was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
In Utah, where there was chance of
making new, good start, Populism
practically did nothing but help the Re-
publicans win.
The truth is that as a national force
the Popullst party is dead. 1t only
awaits burial
