The Kansas Election

The result OF the election on Tues.
day in Kansas is by no means one
sided. In many counties the Repub'
licans have made big winnings and in
almost as many the Populists have
elected new officers. The Populist
gains have however been more in APP
pearance than reality. They have
only come to the surface where the
fusion life-prcserver was used as
last resort. The counties where
there was no fusion buried the Popu-
list party deep. Where there was
fusion the Pops as a general thing
knitted the Democratic candidate and
elected their own. The Democracy Is
thus the tail end Of the political pro-
cession and gains practically nothing
from the fight in which it sunk every
principle that ought to be dear to a
man in the political world.
Kansas may have fusion next year
on the state ticket. At least the
tricksters and ringsters will attempt
10 do 1t. But after the lesson that
has been read to the Democrats in
this engagement most Of them will
prefer little political integrity for a
change. There is a lesson in the re-
suit that is well put by the Minneap-
oils Messenger which says 1t is that
the people are tired of the fool ex-
pertinent set on foot by the Alliance,
and since called the Union Labor
Party, the Peoples Party, the Popu-
list party, and God knows how many
other names party which pretend
ed to believe every within and fool
doctrine that was ever heard Of, from
fiat money to Symmes' Hole. Men are
just as honest when calling them
selves Republicans as when turning
their coat and calling themselves
Populists; and II a man was a scala
wag while he belonged to the Repub-
lean party he didn't change his ma
ture when he became leader in the
Populist party. Many people are
tired Of the fool business, They have
had enough Of it. They have returned
to their old party and their old
friends. They have not made much
fuss about it, but they are back. The
Populist party is dead. Here and
there some remnants remain, not by
virtue Of any principle, however, but
by the grace Of some local issue, or
or unholy alliance; for there
Is no promise, however preposterous,
that they will not make, and no part
nership, however debasing, that they
will not enter into. This is their last
kick, but the blatherskites who engi-
neercd the job are ready for the next
which turns up, and there
will be a number OF credulous ones
10 follow them. Not many, however,
Tor this last experiment has been so
rich in odorous experience that most
men will be slow to accept the new
formulas, whatever they happen to be.

To the Editor o., the Ledger,

Douglass died'o pneumonia in Mar"
tinsburg, Nc, at $3.50 n. M, March 20,
1895. Audrain County has again lost
one of her noblest citizens; the Christ
ian Church che of her best members,
and the medical profession II of Its
brightest lights. As a citizen he was
law abiding, peaceable and gentle; as
a neighbor he was a man who won
friends by ais manly acts. He was
modest and nnassuming, AS a Christ
tian he was Il child of simplicity, a
model of meekness and sobriety, u
faithful follower of III Lord Jesus
Christ. And his home was open
to the ministers of all denominations
who visited mis- city. Many of them
will shed tears of sympathy and love
when they hear of his death. He was
a devoted husband and true father.
The Missouri Medical College never
SEN out u graduate who was truer to
his code of ethics and truer 20 his pro-
fessional brs thren than he was. 1t is
true he had not engaged in the ar
duous duties of Observation-Disclosures
few years OFT account of his own per-
sonal afilietion. He told the writer
once al his own tiPeside that he did
not feel able to do justice to his pa
t~N !, ~, nranY,nt nF his y.r,t on m rim ~
which were very acute at times. We
admired him for his pure, unselfish ma
ture; his quiet, retiring disposition
and his true. faithful adherence to the
doctrines of his risen Christ. The loss
of such men in any community
are felt, and while we extend to his
devoted wife and children i'll this hour
of sad bereavement and sorrow our
sympathy and prayers, we feel as
citizens of this county that we have
experienced a sad calamity. Who
a fill his place in his community
where he lived and labored for the
welfare and good of others? As a
public office. who can administer JUS
tice as he did? His heart was always
open to the widow and orphan and
his hand extended for their relief.
Not a demcnstrative man by word,
but by deeds and words of comfort
and cheer in sad hours of personal and
family difficulties, ''his words we're
like apples of gold in pictures of sill
ver." His deeds we're not displayed
for the public to gaze at and admire,
but were the, fruits of a kind and noble
heart that knew no bounds when help
was needed. Such men are few
such men are never fully appreciated
in this world; but, thank God, they
are in heaven and their works do fol-
low, and their memory lives in the
hearts of those who loved him. Fare
well, kind friend, until we meet at
Jesus feet-"meet to part no more"
Thou art free from all thy suffering,
but hast already received thy crown
of life. c. w. WATTS.
