THE PEOPLES VOICE SUPREME.

At the meetaing of the various state
Z, legislatures it will be well for the Re-
pubIicanS to remember that they have
no permanent lease Of power. 1t is
but a few short months since the
clamor for change from the old order
resulted in the almost complete over
| throw of the party. That it proved a
most disastrous change detracts moth
ing from the fact that it was the voters
who did it, and there is every reason
to believe that it would be repeated
under like conditions. In fact we take
great credit to ourselves that it was
repeated SO unanimously that we term
ed it a gro Ind swell at the last election
the Democrats being the yanQuiShed
party. 1t would be a fatal policy to
proceed as though that election settled
fully and finally the leading questions,
or any of the questions before the peo-
pie. The fact is that the voters are
doing more thinking ON Independent
lines than ever before. There are
even encouraging signs that the aver
age voter has formulated a standard
of moral and civic worth in the candi-
date for Office, and that he has a fer
better conception of the real needs
and changes required than he ever
had before.
Law makers and Office holders will
do well to take heed of the important
fact thata public Office is, at best, i gift of
the people, and that more dilatory
tactics, or other neglect of duty will
be duly noted by their constituents,
and that they will be as coura geOusly
laid upon the shelf as their predeces-
sors.
This is beginning civil service reform
at the right end of the problem. When
the people demand that abuses of
power must be corrected there will be
no trouble in convincing the politi-
clans to follow suit Even presidents
messages to congress, and great party
platforms are so much idle talk after
the people have spoken their wishes at
the polls. Parties and presidents
should be content to follow the course
marked out by their creators, and it
will be fatal mistake to run counter
to their wishes. 1t is a safe predic-
ton that the legislator and congress-
man will have a sensitive ear for the
voice that comes from the rural dis
tricts, as well as that which proceeds
from the Wall streets and political
bosses.

WICHITA WANTS MORE CAPITAL.

A Wichita jobber says he has almost
daily calls for line of goods which he
is unable to carry for want of capital.
This points two important facts: There
is a demand for a leading staple, not
fully supplied, and there is not suf-
ficient banking capital here to supply
our merchants. In some lines sales
might be doubled; others might be adj
dedt to the list, giving Wichita the bene-
fit of trade which is now forced to
other markets. There is no estimating
the amount of idle capital in the coun-
try, but it is certain that if the oppor-
tunity for the legitimate use Of money
here was better known, our merchants
and dealers would soon have ample
funds for their daily needs.

The proposition that the legislature

Silver, The Question.

Politicians all over the country,
the small as we'll as the big bugs,
are trying to understand the fin
ancial condition of the country,
and feel the desire of the people
before advocating one m easure or
the other.
The question is simply, Silver;
a certain element. for instance,
Grover Cleveland and his chums
of Wall streets, the money kings
of the country. the squeezers OF
the poor mans dallor, the dicta-
tors of his labor and wages, those
who hold and control the money
power, of the people and even OF
the national government favor the
single gold standard, while the
people, their friends and those
who want the prosperity of the
country favor a double standard
of silver and gold.
This financial question is be-
yond the understanding of the
majority of the people, and it ii
useless for them to try to solve it
Let them be guided by their ex-
perience in the past. The people
like and favor the silver money
and we believe they are right il
demanding silver and gold a
standards, a money that will bene
fit the masses and not a few spe
culators, like Cleveland and hi
crowd of Wall street.
