AN ECONOMICAL BEGINNING.

The action Of the Senate caucus In
limiting the number Of employees to q
much less number than usual is
proper and right. If the change in
State government was intended by the
people TO mean anything, 1t was that
extravagance In public affairs should
stop and that economy should be prSc-
tlCed all along the line, The people
are disposed to agree that deserving
political workers who are competent
and qualified shall be taken care Of,
but-this desire does not extend to the
creation Of places for their special
benefit or for the continuation Of un-
necessary ones for the same purpose.
The House seems disposed to follow
In the same line. The State officers
have already begun to put themselves
ON record.
This Il as it should be. The propeE

THE PEOPLE In POWER.

For the first time In the history of
Kansas as q State the government Is
entirely out of the hands of the Re-
publican party. This statement sp.
plies to the heads Of the three depart
ments OF government-the executive,
Legislative and judicial. The pieces In
thevallOus institutions have not yet
been changed, but they doubtless will
be at q convenient season.
The men In whose hands the State
government now Ia are men Of expert
ence and acquaintance with Kansas
people, They know what the people
REe demanding to secure relief from
their burdens which are almost too
great to longer bear. They know what
a. expected of them and that great
tRust, involving the welfare Of over III
million Of che best people ON earth, ID
imposed on them. They know what
their duty to the people is.

SENATOR woLCOTPS ERRAND TO
EUROPE.

The Republican party, last June,
promised to do what 1t could toward
bringing about an international agree
ment on the ratio between gold and
silver--a ratio on which both metals
may be coined by all the leading ma
tions. A committee of Senators was
appointed by the Republican caucus
to consider the subject and devise
plan of operation. Senator Wolcott Of
Colorado, q member of that committee
and at whose instance 1t was sp-
pointed, has gone to Europe to look
oveE the field there and learn, If possi-
BILE, what the prospect is for confer
ence of representatives of the great
nations on the subject Of bimstallism.
It would appear from this movement
that at least one Republican has faith
enough In the project to justify trip
across the ocean and months so
journ on the other side. And this
after three conferences of that char
acter have sat and adjourned without
getting q step nearer the object to be-
reached than they were when the frat
sitting WRS had.

der we cannot keep gold here unless
we borrow 1t on bonds, and that only
increases our foreign debt and pro-
longs the period of our bondage.
The worst thing about 1t Is, there is
no way under present conditions to
get rid Of the debt. The railroad cOm-
psnies are unable to pay more than the
interest on their bonds, and they are
no worse off than other corporations.
Indeed, their creditors do not want the

want.

Of this change, for better things for
Kansas people. II hopes and believes
that the burdens of taxation may be

these men deserved just as much as

There were so many more men who

MALICE OF PARTISAN PREJUDICE.

Partisan prejudices breed malice. Re
publican newspapers, in order to break
the force Of charges against them that
they themselves are largely to blame
for the bad name they assert Kansas has
acquired in the last few years, retort
that Populists began the crusade OF
slander. The Washington Post, refer
ring to these retorts, says:
A contemporary attempts to justify promis-
cuous abuse Of Kansas and her people, includ-
ing assaults on the financial credit Of the
State, by citing remarks made on various oc-
casions by Popullsts Of more or less distinc-
ton or notoriety. We are reminded
by the newspapers mentioned above that Sem
ator PETER stood up in the Senate four years
ago and declared that "lt Kansas were put on
the auction block and sofa OF Sherlf's sale, IL
would not bring enough to pay her debts"
Again, after commenting on shat
style Of talk" the Post says:
We are also assured by our contemporary
that, about four years ego, Jerry simpson
stood up in Congress and said "The men In
my distrltt are selling their honor. women
their virtue and children are begging for
bread"
And still further along the Post adds:
These extracts show that the Populists, or
at any rate, some OF their leaders, did not hes
itase to malign their State to the injury Of its
credit, and, to some extent, to tho disgrace OF
ito people.
Men who utter falsehoods intended to
save themselves or iniure others,
whether It is done ignorantly or will
fully, are surely animated by malice.
The language above imputed to PETER
and Simpson was never uttered by either
of them as these scandal mOngers would
have it appear. In every instance where
Mr.. PETER has spoken in the Senate
about Kansas indebtedness, he has done
it in connection with illusions to the
general indebtedness Of the people OF
the United States, and has all along
held and said that Kansas is no worse
off than other States. Kansas is in af
good condition to-day as is any OF the
States where all this fuss is being made
And as to Simpsons remark, he de
nounced three years ago as false.
These lying newspapers have at length
discovered the mischief they have done
and are now trying to excuse themselves
and their meanness by reviving charges
long ago disproved.
