James Buchanan that miserable old angleworm
then in the White House, that "You canno
coerce a sovereign state.'' Uncle Sans armie.
taught the doctrine that sovereign states could
be coerced when they de6ed the constitution
and the law. Even in Kansas, to-day, in spite
of the abject surrender to the old fre-eatine
Southern "local-sentiment' idea, the sovereign
citizen, be he large or small, can be made to
obey the mandates of the constitution and the
provisions of the law, if there was as much
spinal column at Topeka as would be required
to maintain the dignity of Kaw river tadpole.
Anarchy has too strong hold in this coun-
try now. 1t ought to be rooted out, from stem
to stern. 1t is most dangerous menace to
public safety. Anarchy is born of the idea that
''the pronounced sentiment of the masses is
superior to courts, constitutions and statutes.
Such ayctrine is not only the incarnation of
political cowardice, but it becomes the most
conspicuous ally of the most subtle forces of
danger threatening the safety of the common
wealth. 1t is not craftsmanship; it is the most
disgraceful cowardice and mushy rot.
There is but one patriotic and wise thing to
do, and that is to enforce law at all hazards.
When the government itself goes into quasi
partnership with assassins, it should not be
surprised if itself is made the first victim of its
own craven surrender and inexplicable denial of
the sacred public trusts it had solemnly sworn
to protect, and then heartlessly betrayed.
Suppose Abraham Lincoln had taken that
cowardly position in 1861. The outraged peo-
pie of the loyal states would have executed him
as tool of the common enemy. Mr.. Lincoln
said the sovereign states must be made to obey
Obedience to the constitution and the law is the
highest duty of the sovereign citizen.-Atchi-
son Champion (Republican).

"Redeemed" Kaasas.

The pledge made by Gov. Morrill,, when ask
the state, have been fulfilled. He officially tel
egraphed the agricultural department at Wash
ington that pleuro-pneumonia existed in con-
tagious form among the cattle of central Kan
sas. This report was promptly sent to England
and other foreign countries, and although
government expert has made examination and
denies that the disease exists, it will take two
years at least for Kansas to recover from the
damage by the old woman whom we call gov
ernor The cattle industry, of even as little
value as it was, has practically been ruined.
A little more redemption of this character
and Kansas will be forced to diet of prairie
hay and corn fodder.-Parsons Independent.

A "POLICY" GOVERNOR.

Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon, of Topeka, has
written letter to The Open Church, published
at Salina, in which he shows up Gov. Morrill,
in his true light on the subject of the appint-
ment of police commissioners. He says, among
other good things:
"Shortly after the state election, six minis
tiers, including myself, went before the newly
elected governor of Kansas and petitioned him
to appoint men on the board of police commits
sioners who are known to be in favor of enforc
ing the prohibitory law in Topeka. The
governor refused to appoint two of the men we
were most anxious to have appointed, but said
he would see that the laws were enforced if he
had to change the commissioners every month.
He then made the following remarkable state
ment Gentlemen, he said, 'the appointment
of these men is matter of policy more than
principle. We must conciliate the stalwart
Democracy. They helped us in the recent
campaign, and we must listen to them now. I
am expected to keep the state Republican for
the next two years, and hand it over stronger
han when went in
"That is, in other words principle in poll
tics is secondary to policy, if policy is necessary
to strengthen the party in power. That does
not look much as if the political world paid
much attention the Great First of Christ's
teaching ! ~

Gov. Mckinley q GoId.Bug.

New YORK, March I5.-A special from St.
Augustine, Fla, to the World says
Governor Mckinley and his party will be the
personal guests of Henry M. Flagler of New
York, the Standard Oil man, upon their arrival
Monday.
In Thomasville last night letter was receiv-
ed by Governor Mckinley from a hundred or
more citizens of Georgia-Democrats and Re-
publicans alike-pledging him the solid vote of
Georgia in the national Republican convention
and assuring him of fighting chance to get
the electoral vote of that state provided that he
will declare himself an advocate of free silver.
The letter also intimated that the Republican
national platform of 1896 might contain silver
plank.
When this letter was read aloud to him, Gov
ernor Mckinley was indignant He said:
eff the Republican party should declare for
free silver would decline to become its candi-
date and would qnit the party forever"

WICHITA STAR, (Rep.): Gov. Morrill, has
applied for admission to the St. Annanias club
of Topeka. If he will always keep his word,
like he did when he told Wichita people that he
would see that all the laws of the state would
be enforced, he will make valuable addition
to that charmed circle.

IT is quite evident that the Republican party
in Kansas is not in very good shape. Every
other Republican you meet is disgusted and
growing, while one by one the Republican
newspapers appear with roast of the state ad-
ministration OF the legislature. There is some
queer work going on, and it looks as though we
had lost our cunning, or perhaps it would be
better to say that cunning no longer counts.
With 49, votes for Lewelling, 26,7o9 for
Overmyer and 5,4e6 for Pickering, making a
total of I5o,534 against I4S, ,697 for Morrill,, we
fear that if the election was to be held to-mor-
row, we wouldn't be in it.-Kansas City (Kas.)

THERE is one commendable thing about the
Populist party. 1t refuses to be bossed, even
by its defeated candidate for president and its
national chairman. Those two worthy gentle
men have been indefatigable in their efforts to
turn the organization over to the new silver
party, but all over the country the masses of the
party have declared that they will not have it
that way. In Iowa they have said to General
Weaver that he is at liberty to go his way and
they would go theirs.-Topeka State Journal.

A LADY in Victoria recently rode down the
principal business street of the city on her BIZ
cycle in beautiful pair of bloomers and it Gre
ated such a sensation that the police quietly in
formed her that if she made an appearance
again in that costume, she would be taken to
the station. All the fools in the world are not
dead yet.-Salina Union.

THE reason our redeemer legislature did not
pass any railroad legislation this winter is be-
cause it had already been 'passed." If this
statement is ambiguous, equivocal or muddy,
look to the article we print this week taken
from the Topeka State Journal (Republican),
giving the record of iniquity scored by the
redeemers in their shameless blackmailing of
the railroads. -Four thousand, nine hundred
and ninety-nine Santa Fe passes had been issu-
ed to February 2S to our Republican legislature,
according to the State Journal and high Of
fetal of the Santa Fe railroad both of whom
did all that lay in their power last fall to Gre
deem'' Kansas from the domination of the
boodling Pops. The Journal article also gives
the last chapter in the history of the famous
Gardenhire anti-pass bill--a measure introduced
in the house by Sam Gardenhire of Shawnee
county, one of the haf-dozen Republicans who
insisted upon the Republican party redeeming
its ante-election pledges to the people. The
bill was heralded all over the state by every Re-
publican paper, as typically effective measure,
but the Republican house knocked it out by an
overwhelming majority. The same bill after
ward passed the senate by Populist votes, only
FIVE Republicans voting for it.-Lincoln Beacon.

THE Wichita Star, paper which supported
the Republican ticket, says in its issue this
week "The joints are still running wide open
in this city. The metropolitan police commits
sioners appointed by the governor to see that
the prohibitory laws are enforced, have knowl-
edge of the laws open violation, and are ac-
cepting bribes from the criminals running these
places as pay for allowing them to run unre-
stricted. The governor of the state of Kansas
took solemn oath to enforce all laws of the
state. Why does he violate that oath 3-The

Saved His Passengers.

ATLANTA, Oct. 5.-Ale1. Atkins, an
engineer on the Atlanta and West Point
railroad was killed In collision this
morning one mile below Red Oak. At
kins was engineer on the New York and
New Orleans fast mail which left here
at o'clock this morning, Is minutes late.
at East Point he received orders to pass
q north bound passenger train at Red Oak.
Instead of stopping at the station, he ran
through at forty miles an hour. Con-
ductor Law signelled the engineer to
stop, but Atkins paid no attention to the
bell. Then Law ran through the train
and threw piece of coal over the tender
to attract the engineers attention. Still
Atkins kept on. Law, who had signed
the orders at East Point, then cut the cars
looee from the tender. The engine sped
on and 20 hundred yards further, crashed
into the approaching local train. The
automatic brakes on the fast mail stop
ped the detached train and the passen-
gers escaped.
Engineer McDade of the northbound
train reversed his engine and jumped.
His fireman and the fireman on the
southbound train also jumped. Atkins
stuck to his engine and was terribly
crushed. He was not unconscious at
first, though, and begged the trainmen
who went to work to rescue him to give
him something to relieve his agony. He
died three hours later. A postal clerk
named Boyd on the northbound train
was badly injured, but will recover. It
is presumed that Atkins got mixed on
his orders, as he had first received his in
structiops to pass the northbound train
several miles below Red Oak.

III handy In the proof reading. and is
indispensable when the ink works bad

The Worth of q Boy and Home.

IF you want to find out what boy
is worth, go ask his mother. By the
time she goes into the jaws Of death
to give him birth, and then puts into
him her days of love and nights Of
care, and he stands before her strong
and clean and tall at 81, she can tell
you what he is worth from the crown
of his head to the soles of his feet
and when the legalized dram shop
takes hold of him, tears him down
fiber by fiber, and puts oaths on the
lips that she used to kiss, and crushes
out his mothers hopes it is no won
der she makes an outcry. If you want
to know what a home is worth, 60 ask
loving woman who has kept herself
as pure as Gods lilies for her marri
age day, when, with a great shine in
her eyes, she puts herself over into
the hands Of one man for better or for
worse, for richer or for poorer, until
life end. And when the dram shop
with its fearful curse crosses the
threshold of the home they built
together, and takes down their strong
tower Of hope, stone by stone, and
degrades the father Of her children it
is no wonder she makes an outcry.-
Mrs. T. Lathrop.
And yet there are thousands of men
who are ready to sell the boy or the
home, anybody's boy or home, for
little whiskey money. One boy, OF
one true home, is worth a thousand
times more to the general prosperity
of the country than all the whiskey
houses small and great, in the United
States; worth more commercially,
financially, politically, morally and
every other way that is Of any profit.
This assertion needs no proof yJu
have only to open your eyes and
assume little honesty, and you see
the plain demonstration before you.
And yet our cities, States and general
governments will sell boys and homes
By the thousand for money already
diverted from legitimate channels and
rightful owners. What fools we NOR
tails be - Wesleyan Advocate..

Less Cotton, More Money.

The wisdom Of reduced cotton acreage
and increased provision crops Is fully
vindicated by the experience OF the
Southern farmers this year. a big corn
crop and an increased meat crop provide
full barns and smoke houses while the
short cotton crop makes the cotton that
has been raised bring PRICES that are pro-
}itable to the farmer. lie has raised at
home nearly everything he needs In the
way OF provision; and be has the proceeds
of his Gotten to buy clothes; furnitdret
and the comfotts of h6me.
Taking cents pound as the average
cost of production; the New York jour
nal of Commerce estimates that the
Southern farmers realized about 81 bale
profit on last years crop, and adds !:
s.Whateyer variations future develop
ments may make in the items used In
this computation, 1t Is nearly certain that
the crop of the current year will bring In
no less money than the huge crop OF last
year, and will probably bring In more
that 1t will cost more than $40, 900, 600 less
than the last crop, and that inste ad OF
barely covering the cost OF production
there will be comfortable profit for the
planters. The lesson to the South is to
raise no more cotton than there Is good
market for, and, incidentally, to raise it's
own corn and pork instead Of buying
them out of the proceeds of the cotton
sales, system which tempts each planter
to raise more cotton in order 10 meet bis
bill at the factor's."
Again the advice of the newspapers has
been proven wise, and though the lar,
mers have for many years ridiculed
"those fellows who farm In the newspa-
pers," they are forced to admit that had
they taken ten years ago the advice OF
the newspapers and raised at home all
the provision crops that were needed in
stead of buying from the West, the
Southern farmer would have been more
independent 10 day. Circumstances OF
dire necessity forced our farmers to do
what the newspapers have long been
urging them to do, and the result proves
the wisdom of the editorial advice.
Now, let the newspapers begin at once
to advise the Southern farmer against
being carried away by the improved
price of cotton, and induced to spoil 1t all
by returning next year to the all cotton
crop. A ten million bale crop this year
would have continued five cents cotton
and ten million crop next year will
return to it. Let discretion control the
action of cotton planters. It is to short
crop they are due for better prices this
year; LET them not kill the goose that
laid the golden egg by making more
cotton next year than the world needs
