when the convention adjourns. For at !pasi
nine e-tenths OF the burden of taxation which
is borne bv the people, the responsibility
rests with local sentiment and with local off
cials, who are presumed to voice the senti-
ment, and mere pittance is chargcab,e to
the legislative assembly. In attempting to
| fix responsibility there seems to be no general
desire to seek original sources of information
but rather disposition in effectng future
reforms to follow the lead OF that particular
Moses who happens to have the most religi
ols tone of voice.
"The abuses complained of cannot be fx.d
upon the republican party. Under the same
combination Of circumstances, no party al d
no legislature would do any better. A si;ni-
lar conflict at the next session will bring the
same results. DR.. Hill's panacea Of polu-
lism would make matters infinitely wors,,
Nebraska tried that. Governor Waite's
administration in Colorado made that state
by-word throughout tho country, and Mrs.
Lease, who ought to be good authority, is
quoted as saying that the administration ef
Gov Lewelling was the most famnu. and co :
rupt that ever disgraced the state of Kansas.
The legislature of 1895 should have done
better. The same has been said Of the leei,-
lature of 1898, and all that preceded it. Tie
same will be said of the legislature of 1887,
and all that succeed it. When all political
abuses are abolished, when every public Off
cial does his whole duty, when the people
have no further reason to complain of the
burden of taxation, we may look for the i'm
mediate coming of the kingdom"
