WILL Nor ACCEPT THE POSITION
Mr.. M. P. Vincent, who was elected
CT rman of the city democratic com,
mittee recently, has determined not to
accept the position, and a meeting will
be called for Monday night in order
that another chairman can be chosen.
Mr.. Vincent being deputy collector OF
this port, has not from the first been
satisfied that it would be in order for
him to occupy the position, but to be sure
of the matter he has made the proper
inquiries. A circular issued by Presi-
dent Cleveland July IA, 1856, among
other things says: 1.-The influence OF
federal oficeholders should not be felt
in the manipulation ofpolitical primary
meetings and nominating conventions,
y and proper regard for the
proprieties and requirements of official
place will also prevent their assuming
the active conduct of political cam
paigns." The circular, however, adds:
individual interest and activity in
political affairs are by no means con-
demned. Officeholders are neither dis
franchised nor forbidden the exercise
of political privileges"

IT is to be hoped that the Legislature this
session will provide room in the state house for
the library of the State Historical Society. 1t
is matter in which every part OF the state is
interested. The materials of the history of the
whole state are being saved in this library. 1t
is the most remarkable library in the country,
in that it is preserving the regular issues of all
the newspapers published in Kansas, and has
been for nineteen years past. Of Anderson
county, there are now in the library 1o7 volumes
of newspapers, of years from 1876 to 1894 In
all the library contains 1869 volumes of Kan
sas newspapers. These have been the free
gift to the state by the publishers. They who
gave them can reasonably demand that they
should be cared for. These files alone are
worth more to the people of Kansas than all
the historical society has ever cost the state.
But the library not only contains newspaper
files but books, pamphlets, manuscripts, pic
lures. and numberless historical relics. The in
stitution has created a worldwide interest, and
has attracted gifts from every quarter, until it
numbers now nearly $4,000 volumes. The
plans of the state capitol, made many years
ago, made an adequate provision for this library.
For want of room, the library has been crowd
ed into inconvenient basement and cellar rooms,
and considerable part stored in packing boxes.
A small portion of the vast room in the capitol
building, if set apart for the use Of this library
now, would accommodate it for many years.
The legislature should provide rooms for its i'm
mediate use, and direct that in the completed
capitol building there shall be prepared ample
and suitable room for its future growth.

THE Populist senate confirmed the appoint
ment of that old reprobate, Geo. T. Anthony,
as superintendent of insurance, refusing to first
investigate his rotten record. Two reasons are
oiveu for the confirmation. One is that it was
thought best to give the Republican calf plenty
of rope, and the other is that the people said at
the. polls last November that they wanted our
Offices filled by that kind of cattle, and that it
is proper that the people should have what they
ask for. Neither reason is sufficient excuse
for the confirmation of the appointment of a
renegade to any Office, much less one where the
officer has such good chance to "boodle." A
great deal of the kicking against Anthony-the
most of it, in facts by Republicans-and
thew kick because Anthony has bad reputa-
ton. Even the editor of the Garrett Eagle,
who is in the habit of swallowing, without a
qrirnace, anything that has the Republican
label on it, says the appointment of Anthony is
tbe worst mistake Morrill, has made. To show
how decent Republican views the appoint
ment of Anthony, we quote portion of let
ter from Republican to the senator from his
District He saws 81 rather admire ex-Gov-
ernor Anthony because he has opinions. 1t
occurs to me, however, that these opinions have
been recognized in the past, the full value paid
therefor, and after being fully tested, were re-
undated by the people. The governor may
lead Anthony up to the counter and compel him
to eat pie for four years, while the fellows that
procured the pie feed on husks and look after

ENGLAND is the greatest land-grabber of the
world. Wherever English soldiers land, the
soil is enriched by the blood Of the people, and
England exploits as Christian nation. From
Detroit to Wyoming valley is trail of blood
left by the army of this Christian nation. After
seven years of carnage, she was driven from the
Colonies, having failed to conquer them, but
she took her malevolence with her, and now,
after the lapse of century, she returns with it
and her gold, and, through the cupdity of such
"patriots'' as Cleveland, Sherman, Hill and
Others she is accomplishing with her gold what
she could not with her arms, and the men who
protest against this treachery are denounced as
anarchists and communists.
