Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1895-01-11

OTTAWA has bright new paper-The Hor-
net-published three times a week by the Hor-
net Publishing Company, Arthur Snow, man
ager. 1t is independent in politics
The Rev. Frank NJ. Goodchld, i'll paper on
'',rhe Sweating System in Philadelphia" con-
tributed to the January Arena, shows a most de-
plorabe state of affairs Mr. Goodchid empa-
sizes the fact that he deals only with such con-
ditions as he finds existing i'll his own parish,
and his statements should interest all students
of social conditions who hope to see an uplift-
ing of the life of the people and who know that
such is only possible with fair physical con-
ditions
IT is not charging much when we say there
must be some occult power at work OIL the Ell
tire Washington administration 1t appears to
have gone head and foot, tooth and toe-na,
over to the Devil Acceptance of rotten armor-
plate, connecting Doodle schemes, holding finan-
cial seances with the Wall street gang, and var
ious other suspicious movements, indicate that
there will be, during the present session of con-
gress, the boldest carnival of robbery, by legis-
lation, that has yet disgraced this nation
and they open the daily sessions with PRAYER.
:.'THE business inen are taking their turn and
are possessing the earth" said Tom Reed at
Philadelphia, Friday night. He did not mean
to refer to the "business men, whom Tammany
chose as partners of the district leaders shortly
before the political cataclysn last November.
New York Advertiser
This turn the business men have taken to
possess the earth is not a new turn, and, Tom
Reed has aided the 'turn" no little. The Nc
Kinley- Wilson tariff, the railroad land grants,
the demonstration of silver ann the fostering
care given the national banks have assisted the
"business men" wonderfully in possessing the
earth"
COL Richard J. Hinton, the author Of ''Joln
Brown and His Men," and other wel-known
and valuable works, writes i'll the January Arena
a paper which all interested i'll current history
in the making, will read with keen relish. 1t
is a mastery presentation of the significant new
social and political factors, which every careful
observer of current politics knows are gradually
perneating the minds of the great body of the
electorate, the ranl; and file, preparatory to
changing the issues in American politics. 1t is
perfectly plain to all intelligent readers OF his
tory and students of political phenomena, that
not only is a change impending i'll the issues i'll
American politics, but forces and factors are at
work throughout the whole of our western civ
ilization, which show that an era, that follow
ing mediavalism, is closing, new aspects, and
to accommodate old traditions and customs to
new conditions.

I'M SORRY"

There is much that makes me sorry as jour
ney down earths way,
And seem to see more pathos i'll poor human
lives each day.
I'm sorry for the strong, brave men who shield
the weak from harm,
But who in their own troubled hour find 10 pro-
tecting arm.
cess to stand
As targets for the arrows shot by envious fail
ures hand,
And Pm sorry for the generous hearts who free
~ shared their wine,
But drink alone the gall of tears in fortunes
drear decline.
Pm sorry for the souls who build their own
fame's funeral pyre,
Derided by the scornful tllrong, like ice derd-
ing fire.
And I'm sorry for the conquering ones who
know not sins defeat,
But daily tread down fierce desire meath scorch-
ed and bleeding feet,
I'm sorry for the angtlished hearts that break
with PASSIONS strain,
But I'm sorrier for the poor starved souls that
never know loves pain
Who hunger through barren years, not tast-
ing joys they crave,
For sadder far is such lot than weeping DER
grave.
I'm sorry for the souls that come unwelcome in
to birth.
Pm sorry for the unloved old who cumber up
the earth.
I'm sorry for the suffering poor in life's great
lnaelstrom hurled.
In truth, I'm sorry for them all who make this
toiing world.
But underneath whate er seems sad and is not
understood
I know their lies, hid from sight, mighty
germ of good,
And this belief stands close by me, my sermon,
motto, text
The sorriest things in this life will seem grand
est i'll the next.

THE Ingalls, boom seems to be growing apace.
The Atchison Globe is pushing his claims to
the senatorship, Notwithstanding the report by
some of the papers that he don't want to be
elected this year, but wants his old place, now
occupied by Senator PETER. The Globe says {:
.If any Republican member of the Kansas leg
islature fails to support John j. ingalls, for
United States senator because of the impression
that he is not candidate, let him take notice
from this, that there is nothing Mr.. ingalls, dc
sires so much as to return to Washington, and
that he would rather return now than two years
hence" 'Rah for John j.

BARNEY SHERIDAN rises to remark that for
all KANSAS laugh on poor old Missouri, state
school-book law has made school books great
deal cheaper in Missouri than in Kansas.-Kan-
sas City Star.
That may be owing to the fact that Missouri's
state senate is not so cheap as the senate that
was in session at Topeka in 81 The school
book trust bought that Republican senate for
s., ooo-'c cheap as dirt.

ST. John AND WARDWELL.

handling the liquor question in his customary
vigorous manner, Mr. ST. John turned his bat
teries upon Wall street and upon the monopo-
lies and trusts and combinations that curse our
country to-day He had scarcely closed his
remarks when Vim. T. Wardwell, the treasurer
of the Standard Oil Company, who is also the
secretary of the Prohibition national committee,
arose and said that he wanted the audience to
understand that the American Temperance
Union, gospel temperance organization, was
not responsible for anything Mr.. st. John said
aside from his remarks on temperance that
when speakers went beyond that to discuss
other questions, the speakers, and not the soci-
ETY., were held to be responsible for the express
sions Mr. St. John replied, in effect, that the
audience knew him we'll enough to know that
he did not ask the society or any one else to be
responsible for his statements. A. Won Boyle
then arose and said he did not consider it fair
that Mr.. Wardwell should disclaim statements
against trusts, monopoies, ETC., when nothing
was said regarding the statements concerning
labor recently made from the same platform by
another speaker.
The Voice tries to smooth the matter over,
but it can't rub the fur the right way on the
Standard Oil magnate and the incorruptible and
fearless ST. John at the same time, and any one
who is able to read between the lines can see
very plainly that the sympathies of the Voice
are with the gold-bugs, monopolies, trusts, etc.
1t is very plainly monopolistic sheet.
The gold-bug, Wall-street portion of the
Prohibition party have been, for some time,
endeavoring to capture St. John or cripple him,
but they haven't succeeded, and they won't.
John P St. John is too great man-too liberal
and broad-gauged-to be controlled or swayed
by the one-idead crew, or by the whole money
power combined, and they may as well cease
their efforts. St. Johns great warm heart
beats in sympathy with the masses, and he will
ever labor for suffering humanity.
ACCORDING to the Topeka State Journal,
Congressman Moore, of the Second district, is
authority for the statement that there is a move
on foot to form coalition between certain Pop
ulists and Republicans in the Legislature to elect
ingalls, to the senate, and Mr.. Moore claims to
believe the movement will be successful. He
thinks the Populists, as rule, would rather
support ingalls, than either Ady, Burton or Le-
land. 1t is our opinion that the latter part of
Mr.. Moore's statement is correct, but we see no
reason why Populist members should vote for
any Republican. We believe the proper thing
for the Populist members to do is to vote for
Populist for senator, and stay with him to the
last Lots of good senatorial timber in the
Peoples party-lots OF it.

DID they have cut-throat mortgage laws and
McKinley-Wilson robber tariff laws when Paul
wrote to Timothy but if any provide not for
his own and especially for those OF his own
house, he hath denied the faith and is worse
than an inhdel" And did church members at
that dav live off the labor of others by loaning
their needy brethren their idle money at any
rate of interest the necessities of the needy ones

rious exactions prevented their poor brethren
