SENATOR TILLMAN's LEADERSHIP.

Perhaps no man now conspicuously
before the public better represents q
particular class of people than does
Senator Tillmsn. His career has been
remarkable as his personality Is pecul-
lar. He has risen from the farming
element IN South Carolina; he under
stands their condition, he knows their
wants, he enters fully into all their de-
sires, their snimosities and their smbl-
tions; he uses their vernacular, he
plays with the nomenclature of their
calling, and In his public addresses he
uses freely the familiar phrases of farm
talk.
Mr.. Tillman is impulsiVe, ready In
retort, and the enemy Of men he hates.
He attacks them with feeling and
force, without fear and without gloves.
He does not study to please; he uses
vigorous, forceful language, he huTls
his epithets, he denounces with gladi-
ator's stroke. And the people look on,
they listen, they wonder, and then they
ask themselves" of this mans
leadership"
Think 1t over. Look at men who
are or who have been leaders. Select g
few names-say Washington, Jeffer-
son, Hamilton, Clay, Webster, Calhoun,
Lincoln, Blaine. These were StTonE

REDEMPTION ADMITTED TO BE A FAILURE.


In the campaign Of 1894 the Repub-
lican papers wanted Kansas redeemed.
Their Interpretation Of redemption
meant the return Of the Republican
party to power. This we were SOlemnly
assured would bring capital to the
State, restore our credit abroad and In
sure better times. The Popullstg In
sisted that the State did not need
redeeming, that the redemption cry was
but revsmp OF the "Stand up for
Kansas" talk of 1892, and that the Re-
publican party in general and Morrill,
and Cy Leland In particular had neither
the disposition nor ability to redeem
anything. The majority Of the people
voted with the redeemers. The people
have had enough Of redemption.
The politicians, having secured the
plums they desired, and having diSCOv.
cred that the people are on TO this re-
demption fraud, are now ready to drop
it and hatch up some new scheme for
perpetuatlng In power the party which
has long since ceased to be q party Of
principle but which iS merely an organ.
lied appetite for Office. Surely no one
can longer contend that the redemp-
tion Of Kansas was O success, when the
man who managed the former cam
psign admits that to 60 before the peO.
pie with the old redemption crowd
would result In failure TO get at least
1900 legitimate Republican votes.
Leland ought to know. If he don't,
the people do, and they have reached
the conclusion that it is time to rally to
the support Of the PopuliSt party,
which is controlled by the rank and
file, and not by few ambitious leaders.

THE sour OF A NEWSPAPER.


The atmosphere of mems lives is q
mixture of sunshine and shadow.
While neither is always present, they
come and 60 like clouds In the sky
above us. The individual man or
woman whose life is lived mostly in
pleasant places, may nevertheless sp-
pear to live among the shadows where
everything IL dark. On the other
hand, those who have most to annoy
and Vex and distress them have within
them fountains Of good humOr which
bubble to the surface continually.
There is always controlling ele-
ment In human character, an element
Of force or negstiOn which shows itself
In every station and in every stage of
life. Some persons appear to have
been born to be happy, while others
will be miserable without reason.
1t is the same with q newspaper. 1t
has a soul, it lives soul-life, carrying
sunshine and food and drink that
please, instruct and satisfy; or it's
presence announces the coming Of q
cold wave, and none but they who
shiver in sympathy care to read its
Comfortless pages. Newspapers, like
men and women, impress themselves
upon the community favorsbly or un-
favorsbly according to the controlling
forces In it's makeup. Natures sun
light is life-glVing, heslth-inspiring
and the bearer Of good will. So is q
cheerful, good .nstured, food dispens-
ing newspaper. Its coming ought to
bring pleasure; It's visits ought to be
hailed with delight. Every member
of the family ought to be In expect
sncy Of finding something to please,
smuse, entertain and instruct in it's
refreshing columns.
Its matter must be varied, Of course,
for the things Of life are varied. The
sober realities of everyday affairs
must be talked about and critical
blows must be struck. But there is
need in looking on every mans weak
nesses rather than his stronger and
better traits. There Is no good to
come from darkening our way through
life by continually scoldIng end doing
our utmost to set everybody else to
Scolding. There is enough to quarrel
about without going out of our way to
fight somebody.

AM UNGRATEFUL POLITICIAN.

80 badly is an act of extreme ingrati-
tude. No one who understands the
situation can fail to be impressed with
the idea that had Morrill, paid no stten-
tlon to the imperiOus boss he would
have been a much more popular man.
Many of MorrillB worst breaks were
made largely through the influence of
Leland. The ambitious executive
thought to retain the friendship and
support of the disreputable leader by
acquiescing in his demands. Leland,
with his usual degree of innate pOliti-
cal depraVity, worked the sdministrs-
tion for everything that might be made
to benefit him and his ambitious
schemes, and then deserted it.
It was through Lelsnd's influence
that Morrill, urged the Legislature to
make an extrsvagsnt appropriation for
the useless Board Of Public Works
after he had recommended that the
board be abolished. It was through
Leland's influence that the Governor
permitted the persecution Of Senator
Rogers and his removal as Regent of
the University without cause, in order
that Leland might get revenge for
Rogers action in preventing the Board
Of Public Works steal. 1t was through
Lelsnd's influence that number Of
the miserable and Objectionable sp-
pointments were made, and they were
made. for Lelsnd's benefit. It was
through LelAnd's influence that Capt.
Barker, one of the few honest sp-
pointeeS, was let out of the Board Of
Charities, and all because he would not
be dictated to by Leland. 1t was
through Lelsnd's influence that Nor
rill lined up his sppointees for Leland
at Wichita and reelected him as Ma
tionsl committeeman. 1t was through
Leland's influence and for Lelsnd's
benefit that the disreputsble, disgrace
full and lsW.defying deal was made
with the whisky element at Wichita.
In fact, Leland has used the Cover
nor to serve his own ambitions and po-
HCical purposes, neither considering nor
caring for the consequences. And now
that he has won all his points, that he
has no further need of Morrill's assist.
snce and has his friends firmly en-
trenched In official and influential
positions, he comes along and tells
Morrill, that he must step aside, as he
Is jeopsrdizlng the chances for party
success.
No one knows better than Leland
that he is the cause Of large part of
the criticism Of Morrill,, and that he is
the fellow the people are after; but he
gracefully retires and leaves Morrill, to
stand up under burdens which he has
imposed, and not only refuses to aid
him, but announces that he will work
for someone else.
But much as this matter reflects on
Leland, Morrill, cannot entirely escape
blame. A man Of MOrrill'S age, exps-
rience and acquaintance should have
had more manhood, independence and
individuality than he has exhibited.
Morrill, is to be blamed for advising
with Leland and following his instruc-
tlons, for such they were. He has
known him for q quarter Of q century,
