A How-De-Do In Kansas.

The antics. of the Kansas republicans
justify the suspicion that there is a
greater anxiety among them to get con-
troll of the spOils than To reform the
government. Every movement among
them is in the direction of securing Of
fees in one way or another. and their
mental energy is spent in contriving
plans TO get such offices away from the
populists as under the law would be-
left to them for time. and to eInbar-
rass those whose terms are about TO ex-
pire during the few remaining days of
their tenure.
The latest scheme that has been de-
veloped is one to prevent the organiza-
tion of the legislature until after the
inauguration of the new governor.
There is double purpose in this enter
prise. In the first place. it wOuld pre-
vent the reading of Governor Lewell-
ing's annual message. and thus deprive
him of the opportunity to administer a
parting political kick and Law IN some
party capital for the populiSt 40 use in
the future Secondly, it would prevent
the confirmation by the Senate. of Lew
elling's appOinteeS to office that have
become vacant since the Adjournment
of the last session.
These are trifiing causes upon which
to base revolutionary conspiracy. hut
the fact is not likely TO deter the Kan
sas republicans from engaging in it.
But it would be an exceedingly short
sighted policy to adopt. If the popu-
lists were thus cheated out of their nat
ural advantages, they could easily re-
taliate by refusing to confirm MorriIl's
nominations to office after the organi-
zation was effected. The popuIists will
have sufficient force in the Senate to
accomplish that, and they are not like
ly to be backward in the matter of re-
enges.-Kansas City Star.

They Say"

They say" is the most productiv e
plant in the garden of gossip. The
man or woman who is always loaded
with Information about what ''they
say" can usually be relied upon to
spread. scandal as the winds of the
west spread fire in the dry prairie
grass. When Il lot of people. either
male or female, get together and com
meuce cackiing about what they say"
it generally results in scandal, whether
any real cause for it exists or not. It
is kind of smokeless powder which
these human buShwhackers use in their
attack upon society. It enables them
to fire their pellets of malice and mis-
chief without being seen. Too coward
ly to come out openly and make their
charges and haying no real authority
for the damaging insinuations, they
skulk behind the expression above
quoted and significantly relate all about
what ''they say" throwing in many
knowing winks and mods, all the time
expressing sorrow, surprise and re-
gret in true hypocritieal style. 1t is a
good plan to never give ''they say'' as
an authority for statement. particu
larly if it is of nature To damage the
good name of any Ellsworth

Taxation the Issue for 1896.

Hon. G. B. Kilgore of Texas has the
following to say about taxation: Il
believe the matter of taxation will take
precedence. as an issue, i'm 1896, over
erything else. The solution Of that
important question has never yet been
found, and the man who does discover
a system whereby the Federal Govern
ment can impose taxes with absolute
justice to all the people of the United
States will need no monument to perpet-
uate his memory. The various States,
by their system of advalOrem taxa
ton upon every man according to his
ability to bear it is something the Fed
eral Government has yet TO learn. Mr.
Morrison said during speech he made
before the forth ninth Congress that
the bulk of taxes paid TO the Federal
Government came from the pockets of
men whose income were under $500 per
year. This statement astonished many
people at the time it was made. but
it WAS based on authentic statistics
and not subject even to doubt. Every
student of this subject recognizes the
fact that the true theory of taxation is
absolute uniformity, and that the bur-
den should be chargeable solely to the
wealth OF the nation.''

l6g. as Mr.. Cleveland once SAID 60
Col. Oates on a memorable occasion;
aud of late this fatal hold has slipped
from the leg to the throat. National
legislation affecting the currency ques
tlon is no longer in the interest of the
people, but it is purely an annex Of the
money power.
Only last year France unearthed
sensation concerning the Panama
canal in the developments of which it
was shown that about 81 .000, 900 had
been sent through eastern banks to
t'infiuence' congress in reference to the
Panama job, and yet no member of
congress has been bold enough to force
the passage of resolution inquiring
into this exposure. If this revelation
was false, It's publication all over the
world was an insult to America aud
American institutions. Are we to
plead guilty to the charge by silencep
1t is true the Panama scheme has done
but little harm in itself, but the fact
that million dollars drifted into con
gressionai channels from the tunnels of
few eastern banks, carries an alarm
ing lesson of corruption which might

rhe republicans naturally want the
situation to continue, just as it is. un
til the democratic congress expires by
limitation. Then such reform as comes
must come through a republican con
gress. Tue democrats have control of
the senate, of the house, and they are
nominally in possession of the executive

democratic administration, therefore,
are the republicans to be permitted to

THE KRON BUILDING.
1t viii be a Model of Modern Ideas. =.
The EIks' Part In 1t.

Architect Gerlach is preparing plans
for the new $4,000 building to be
erected by Fred Kron in the spring, at
the northeast corner of Front and
Main streets, brief mention of which
were made in these columns Deem
Der 31st.
The building is to be strictly mod
ern throughout. 1t will be 50x150 in
size and three stories high, the ma
terial to be used being St. Louis press
brick. Mr. Kron will occupy the first
two floors and the basement with a
department. store, and square open
court will connect the ground floor
and second story.
The third floor will be used by the
B. P. 0. E., as a meeting hall, and the
plans for the conveniences are being
made as elaborate as those of any SIM
liar society in the state. Provisions
have been made, aside from The lodge
room. for a dancing hall, regalia, bill
lard and card rooms and kitchen.
Everything will be complete and fur
nished in sumptuous style.
The building will be lacking in one
noticeable point of number of other
structures in this city, and that is the
unsightly outside stairway. The
building will have it's own Steamboat
ing plant and electric lights and the
passengers will be carried to the up
per floors with a fast electric elevator
by power furnished from the dynamo
in the building.
The ElkS are arranging to have a
cOmmodious as well as a luxurious
home.
The old frame building that occupies
the ground where the proposed new
building will stand is landmark, for
it occupied its present location when
the thirty-eight Sioux Indians were
landed into eternity.

FIRE AT ST. CLAIR.
The Residence of r. s. Wells Burned
Saturday With Portion of
Its Contents.

Saturday at about 10 o'clock the
residence of Mr.. f. S. Wells, of St.
Clair, caught fire and burned to the
ground. A portion of the furniture on
the ground floor was saved, but every
thing in the upper story was con-
sumed.
: How the fire originated we are unable
to learn. Mr.. Wells came to Manka-
to this morning, leaving home about
8 o'clock, coming for the purpose of
securing house, arranging to re-
move his family here next week. The
first of this month he entered into
partnership with Mr.. HI. P. Anderson.
the sewing machine man on Front
street, and before engaging actively
into business desired to bring his fam
lily to the city.
Mr.. Wells sold his house last week
to Mr.. Schultz, of this city, who is the
loser by the fire to the amount OF
about $500. 1t was insured, but to
what amount we are not advised. Mr..
Wells had about Sl0G insurance on his
household goods, while his loss will
amount to about $500.
