THE more decent Republicans are disguised
with the narrow-minded partisan policy that
has characterized the Kansas house of repre-
sentatives during the present session of the
legislature. These misrepresentation have
done nothing but hinder legislation. Of course,
there are Republicans in this body who honestly
desired to enact some laws for the benefit of the
people, but these men were handicapped by the
partisan bigots of the do-nothing variety, whose
sole motive seemed to be to kill the bills passed
by the Populist senate. Speaking of these
misrepresentation, under the heading, Groom
for the Fool-Killer," the Topeka State Journal
(Rep.) of the 27th inst. says "The senate
passed bill last night appropriating for the
use of the state normal school the funds that
have accrued in its own endowment. This is
merely formal matter, but has to be attended
to at every session of the legislature. The
passage of this bill merely illustrated the blum
dering and consummate stupidity of the house
of representatives. The senate passed a bill
identical with this one several weeks ago, and
sent it over to the house. The house killed it
nobody knows why. Chairman Rogers, of
the senate ways and means committee, says:
1.-THE house didn't know what kind of an ami
NAL it was, so they justed killed it on suspic-
ion." Therefore, the senate had to pass its
bill over again. This time, label or a senator
or something should be sent with the bill to
explain that if the bill is defeated the state
normal can't run. The house of represent
atives contains a number of simpletons who
think everything that comes from the senate
should be killed because the senate is Populist.
They would even kill quiet, inoffensive and
necessary appropriation. bill for that reason.
Men who are so partisan that they can't see be-
yond the length of their own noses are too
dense to legislate on anything or for anybody.
Some of the 'redeemers' are chumps." AS one
Republican member remarked, the other day:
1.-TWO years hence, some of us will get to stay
at home"

in this nation is the anarchist of the White
House and his retainers, and they are the fell
lows who have inauqurated the movement for
military drill in public schools. They
know they have gone about as far as they can
without jeopardizing their peace and safety,
and so, under the specious plea of arousing
patriotism in the young men and boys, have
them taught military tactics, with the knowledge
that when the time is ripe for military despot-
ism in this country, they can depend upon the
SONS of the rich to shoot down the SONS of the
poor if they resist. Some of the preachers of
some of the prominent churches have already
entered into this league with hell to aid the
tyrants in their usurpations by organizing the
boys of their congregations into military COM
panies. Had the wage-workers and their sons
voluntarily organized such companies and gone
to drilling, from end of the land to the other
they would be denounced. If there is any ex-
cuse-even the shadow of one-for such organ
izations, the wage-workers have it, for, little by
little, but, at the same time, surely, is despotism
gaining vantage ground and the working men
become the victims of its power. Greed and
rapacity at the bottom of the movement 1t
is not to arouse patriotism, but to be thoroughly
prepared to strike when the time is ripe to
shackle every man that earns his bread by the
sweat of his face. We are no alarnist. Every
who is not blinded by partisanism can see
the trend of all this. 1t is not for the salvation
of the country, but to strengthen the coupon
clippers and Shylock lords.

REFORM EDITORS MEET.

The meeting of the National Reform Press
Association at Kansas City, last Friday and Sat
urday, was we'll attended, and the session was
both interesting and profitable. good pro-
gramme had been prepared, and was carried out
as nearly as possible. Chairman Taubeneck
and Gen. Weaver were to have read papers on
subjects of much interest to the association, but
neither one was present, nor did either assign
reason, by writing or otherwise, for his non
appearance.
Numerous matters of business nature were
discussed.
Of course, the new one-plank party project
came up, and it was fully discussed. If there
were any one-plank men present, they kept
very quiet. The expressed sentiment was in
opposition to the scheme. We were especially
pleased with the spirit and loyalty exhibited by
the Texas and other Southern members They
want it distinctly understood that they stand on
the Omaha platform and are in the middle of
the road. The verdict of the association was
that Taubeneck and his associates are welcome
to 60 off and organize a little one-pank party
of their own, but they must not undertake to
carry the Peoples party off with them
Carl Brown, the Commonwealth, was present,
talking up Coxey's Notwithstanding bond
project Carl is a fne-looking man, and his
well-knit figure was "set off, in good shape by
a silk hat and a tailor-inade suit. He is a
genial, whole-souled fellow, and has pleasant
way of introducing and explaining his plan.
He saws he has no connection with the Guardian
Angel, the new Washington paper.
goodly number of new members were add
ed to the press association.

WHEN "Mr. Dawes, who works his jaws"
was going up and down the state, last fall, Gre
deening Kansas he said that if the people
would elect him to the office of attorney-general
he would have DR.. Pitcher of the Winfield
asylum for the feeble-minded, in the peniten-
tiary within sixty days after the Inauguration
Of course, the Populists in the legislature sup
posed he meant what he said, and, as he took
no action in the matter the Populists concluded
to force an investigation of DR.. Pitcher But, the
redeemers promptly rushed to the rescue of Mr..
Dawes and killed the measure; therefore, DR..
Pitcher will not be investigated, and he will not
go to the penitentiary. Mr.. Dawes simply
worked his jaws to fool the people-and he
succeeded.

THE Topeka ministers used their influence
and their votes last fall to reinvest the Repub
lican party with the panoply of power, with
the knowledge that more corrupt horde never
presided over the affairs of any state-when
they know that the Topeka Cuban aggrega-
ton of "tony' inebriates-was perpetuated by
a partisan Republican judicial decision that
the party had, ever since the days of Gov John
P. St. John, done all it could to render the law
nugatory that Republican executive kept
signed, in blank, pardons for the law-breakers.
For their subserviency to party they were recent
called down in Stryking manner, and then at
tempted to crawfsh out of the ugly fix into
which a woman, who kept her eyes open to
watch the farce and her ear to the ground to
hear the murmur of disapproval, placed them.
If these ministers expect to benefit humanity,
they must learn that they can't do it by hob
nobbing with the "tony," dissipated law-break-
ers. If they have given attention to passing
events as they should, they are fully aware that
if the financial standing of the Topeka club
was on plane with the fellows who do HONEST
labor for a living, the district court would have
sustained the Topeka police and and probably
would have done so anyhow had the policemen
been Republicans, and had arrested the offend
erS.

THE "redeemers' have struck a railroad
pace, and God only knows what speed they will
attain as they near the end. First, drunken
al-night revel, in which the majority of the
Republican elite were conspicuous-some help
lessly conspicuous. Then came the Bacchanlian
orqies to do honor to the newlp-elected United
States senator, conspicuous among the attend

ance. lanes A. Troutnan. And then to (for
the presently close the series OF debauches, the
biennial reunion or the rabble that will be
known in history as the Douglass house,
and which would have drenched the state in
blood had not Governor Lewellirg yielded to
their reasonable demands so as to avert such
calamity. And the men who stoop to engage
in such orgies call themselves redeemers. Great

THE Star-Spangled Banner foated over the
court house at Kansas City, last Friday, for the
first time-and that, too, by order of Popuist
Judge. The fag-raising was an important and
ENJOYABLE affair. An invitation was extended
to the Reform Press Association to attend and
participate in the exercises Accordingly,
committee was appointed to take part in the
exercises, and goodly number of the members
of the association attended. A splendid pro-
duly honored
THERE are over three hundred legislative
employees at Topeka-or, they are supposed to
be at Topeka. A day or two ago, they had
their pictures taken i'll group. When it was
announced that the group would be photograph
ed, Lieutenant Governor Troutman (who is
"redeemer') said he hoped every employee
would be present and have his picture in the
group, for in that way only would the people of
the state ever know that many of them had
ever been in Topeka. Redeemers, we know.
SPEAKING of getting something for nothing
reminds us of the appointment of ]. L. Brady,
of the Lawrence World, as Senator Scion o.
Thacher's secretary, at So per day. The
Topeka State Journal (Rep.) says Brady has
not been in Topeka five hours during the entire
session of the Legislature. In other words, he
is receiving So per day for staying at home and
running his paper. But, then, the people foot
the BILL And then, it will be remembered that
Thacher and Brady are "redeemers" we know.

MANY counsels of Christ were how to put an
end to strife The counsels of many of His
professed.followers are to make of this great ma
ton one great military camp, and teach all the
boys, from young manhood down to tender
years, how to scientifically kill their fellow man.
When we hear professed follower of the Prince
of Peace advocating military drill in our public
schools, we are forced to set him among the
whited sepulchres, full of extreme rottenness.
If the South had not been a military camp for
many years ante-dating the rebellion, it is not
likely there would have been four-years' war,
or for any other length of time. The advocates
of military drill in our public schools claim it
would arouse spirit of patriotism. This is
the clearest bosh. Throughout the North, prior
to the rebellion, but few men knew anything
about military drill, and yet, the first note Of
the bugle call had scarcely ceased its echo till
plows were abandoned in the furrow, the ma
chinst his lathe, the artist his brush, the printer
his case, the student his books, and all other
classes their various vocations, and came troop
ing up by thousands to assist in staying the
hand of the despoiler. Every man who loves
his country is a patriot, and military knowledge
will not arouse or increase it.
BISHOP HAYGooD, a bishop of the M E.
church, south, says, in the Atlanta Constitu-
ton: "Keep lobbyists out of offce-whether
farmers, mechanics, teachers or preachers. !"
Now, we would say to Bishop Haygood, that
depends altogether ON what the hobby is. If
the south kept such men as Jeff Davis, Wigfall,
Howell Cobb, Bob Tombs, John c. Breckenridge
and others of that class of men, whose hobby
was the righteousness Of human slavery, the
south would not have plunged the nation into
an internecine war, for they demonstrated that
that class of men els always dangerous
dangerous to the liberty, happiness and pros
perity of the people. Wendell Phillips, Will
liam Llovd Garrison, Gerritt Smith, Salmon P.
Chase and Charles Sumner had their hobby,
and that hobby was that all men are created
equal and no man has right to demand of his
fellow man unrequited toll. 1t is the character
of the hobby, Bishop. The hobby that de-
mands Justice for all men is not always, nor at
anv time dangerous. The moneyed anar-
chists-hobbyists like Cleveland, Carlisle, Sher-
man. Colum, Brice, German, etc., are danger
Gus.

AN ERA OF REFORM.

Such is the name that may be given truth
fully to the days in which we live. The spirit
of reform is in the air. 1t takes shape in the
organization of societies for reforms of var
ious kinds. Each one has its special hobby
TO ride, and the thought is promulgated,
that if that special reform is successful,
why, the greatest and best results will follow.
The fact is, as one has said, "All are seeking
to lop off some particular fruit from the
upas tree of public sim"
We would not deprecate any means for en-
couraging men to live moral life, but we
would have it understood that all human re-
forms fall short Of the conditions OF posi-
tive cure. There is a permanent, thorough
cure every evil under the sun. 1t is the
remedy provided in the Gospel of Christ
The teachings OF the gospel said the
Golden Censor, "are the only solvent for the
vexed questions of the day. The only move
ment for reform which can be permanent and
thorough is that which builds on the rock.
Christ Jesus, accepts His teachings as the
only guide and in His strength strives to re-
place the frightfully unchristian things OF the
day with things patterned after His will.
This is an era of unrest. The times are
premonitory. What men are vainly reaching
after is coming. The very acts OF men are
signs-they indicate our nearness to the full
and eternal deliverance from all the burdens
that cucumber our race and world.
Passaic City record., 1895-07-13
PRACTICAL PRAYING.

The Inconsistency of parents praying for
the conversion of their children and then
doing the utmost to pervert them to frivolity,
sefshness and contempt for the Bible leads
Dr. t. L. Cuyler to say:
Many protesting Christians will pray for
their children's spiritual healing and then
poison them; they pray that their sons may
be sober and then tempt them with de-
canter of wine on the table; they pray that
their daughters may be pure and then carry
them off to see shameless and salacious plays
in a theatre. On Sunday morning they
ask for blessing on Gods Word
When the church service is over they come
home to sumptuous dinner to crack jokes
about the sermon, or the singing, or neigh
bor's dress. and by every possible means to
drown Cut any serious impression that faith
full preaching may have produced. AS far
as their influence goes. it is right against the
very results for which they pretended to
pray Their petitions become solemn mock
cries. 1t will be terrible thing for such in
consistent parents to meet their own prayers
at the day of judgment. God might say to
sucn "Out of thine own mouth will Judge
thee, thou unfaithfgl servantw

A FATAL INHERITANCE.

sad story illustrating the law of heredi-
ty is told by DR.. f. Horton, of Isle of Wight,
England. He says that bright little girl
joined juvenile temperance society. and
was very earnest in getting her young friends
to join. But her crowning achievement on
which she had set her heart was getting her
father to sign the pledge. He was con-
fined tippler, but he loved his child, and to
please her he signed. The man went away
and broke the pledge, but the little maid
would not be discouraged, and in few
weeks she induced him to sign again, and this
time he kept it. When this child
grew to be- girl of seventeen,
she was one day invited to tea
by some of her friends, who thought her a
fanatic on the subject of intemperance, and
had concocted a plot to have a joke on her:
When the first cup of tea was passed around
and she had tasted it, she burst into laughter
which was almost maniacal. They asked her
how she liked it. She said VERY much"
'.Do you know what was in it?'' they said.
"No.,' she answer, "but whatever it was I
will have some more. They had put rum in
the tea, and the girl took some more, and
that night she was carried home drunk, and
from that night she never could be kept from
the drink. She wandered away to Ports
mouth, and there she ultimately died an out
cast ON the street. The little maid mad saved
her father, but the virus of the fathers sin
was in the child's blood. anG she perished
through that taint.-Christian Herald.
