A PRETTY MESS OF 1T.

Our Populist brethren have made a
pretty mess of it. They have disgraced
themselves and brought shame upon a
state proud of its history and name.
Their representatives and senators, in
the legislature, according TO their own
showing were bought and sold like
sheep in the shambles. Elected in the
lame of reform, and under pledges
made their party and the people of eX-
ira virtue and a special regard for de-
cency, tkey have gone as far as possible
in breaking down ordinary faith in the
prObity Of men in places OF official
trust Protesting a superior rectitude
and higher notions of integrity, these
trusted representatives went about the
capitol halls and hotel corridors at
Topeka with eyes and ears on the alers
iDquiring for the sources Of corruption
and the size of chance Doodle. Their
only anxiety seemed 10 hinge upon the
apprehension that they might nOt get
on tc all the schemes or that some fell
present investigation seems TO have
come to a head from dissatisfaction
growing out of the conviction that some
Of the members received more than
their due proportion Of Doodle. 1t is
certain that it was not inspired by any
desire 10 purify derelict members or 10
punish boodlers. The whole thing is
unseemly, full of rottennesS and dis
graceful beyond words. No agent or
go-between boOdler has been punished
or even arrested. Only the names Of
men hayc been Smirched and their rec
orIS dragged in the dirt by their own
sind and class, by men holding to and
advocating the same principles, which
principles these b0OdleTs held TO be pure
and exalted above those advocated by
the men Of other parties. Outside Of
any party advantage which the episode
affords, or any satisfaction to be found
in an Il told you So there stands the
ugly fact of venality and want of rec
titude upon the part of representative
kansans who had been honored by
other Kansans singly and solely upon
the claim Of superior integrity and
purer patriotism. 1t is only too evident
from their own sworn testimony, and
closely Ringing numerous suspicious
and unaccountable incidents, that the
whole gang, including the heads Of this
reform administration OF which the
legislature is d part, was, and is, rot
ten TO the core, and from top to bottom.

and if the Republicans have $1,000 plu-
rality they viii be doing remarkably
well. but that margin would give all
the Bourbon asses in the country a
chance TO bray about an apparent Re-
publican loss of 123.O0O in a single year.
In Ohio although the conditions last
wear were entirely different from those
which existed where the Democratic
party was a sound money party, the
Republican majority over all opposing
parties was more than twice as great
as il had been in 1895, when the state
went Republican by about $1,000 piur-
ality. If the Republican ticket should
have 10000 plurality next fall against
a Popocrat-Populist fusion, or Io,oo
over the Democrats alJne, it would be
a magnificent victory, and yet such re-
suits would afford opportunity for the
Bourbons and their allies to do good
deal of ignorant and silly boasting.
Much will De made now of the Demo-
cratic victory in Chicago by using Nc
Kinley's plurality of $4,000 as a OASIS
Of comparison, but the fact remains
that the big Illinois city went Demo
cratic no longer ago than the spring OF
1899 and that in 1894, when the Repub-
lican plurality in Illinois was 123,0OO
and 1900 in Chicago, the Republicans
beat the combined Democrats and Pop
ulists only 1900 in that city. 1t is
not 10 be expected that the major1ties
rolled up in the fall of 1896, when the
money issue had broken the Democratic
party 10 pieces, can be maintained.
Probably Republicans viii have to be
content with margins Of victory such
as they enjoyed in years ike 1888 or, at
best. 1893 and 1894. That will do very
we'll, however, for reasonable people.

WOMAN AND WAR.

One of the stock objections long
urged against female suffrage was TO
the effect that as a woman could not
bear arms she should not be clothed
with a power whereby she might en-
force war for others TO fight. 1t was
held that if she voted she must light,
work the roads and shoulder all other
responsibilities and duties of the citizen
In some territories and states she is al
ready voting and in Colorado she pro-
poses TO bear arms. She loves the mil
itary and glOries IN its parades, and
having assumed the duty of the voter
at the ballot box, stands ready for all
that logically follows, and we may ex-
pect To soon see her in the tented field.
even in the field of battle punching the
hayGnet into the other fellow. The
laws Of the Centennial state have been
SO far changed by the legislators at
Denver in their wisdom that woman

RADIO may Yet have companies of wo-
men, regiments of women, a brigade of
women, under feminine command from
corporal 10 general. The state will then
afford unique opportunities for study

OF course, under a militia regime
which gives representation In the serv-
ice to both sexes, the woman regiment
would be eager TO demonstrate their
prowess, equally with the men. upon
occasion. In fact the day may come
in Colorado when an array of brigands
in the Rockies, unconquerable by any
assaulting force of men, may fee in
wild panic at the mere sight of a wo-
man regiment approaching.

Down In southwestern Kansas the Jour
nal knows little township. There are in
that township just 81 people, including
men, women and children. The township
assessor went around the other day, and
he made some important discoveries. The
people down there didn't seem to think
them important, for they only had a little
place In a corner set apart FOR country
correspondents in the county paper. But
they are OF Importance, for they show that
the people of western Kansas are neither
suffering nor starving: neither are they
paupers, or slaves, or serfs. nor are they
beggars or mendicants. This is what the
assessor found. and assessors are notorious
for never finding more than half The
things that are there: those 81 people,
men. women and children. had stored in
their cribs $4,000 bushels OF corn, almost
exactly 200 bushels for every man. woman

standard. Such reactions have never
failed TO follow a national contest and
victory. Next fall il is likely to be even
emphasized The money question in
Chicago, as in Cincinnati and other
cities, gave the Republican party its
wonderful pluralitieS, as the same cues

states of the west. His reasoning.
therefore. IS unfair and untenable. In

party was in the western states. Ii will

THAT ASIATIC REVOLT.

The Philippine Islands are so far
away on the border of the orient and
so little is heard Of these Spanish pos
sessions whose people are now in re-
volt, that slight interest is taken in the
war being carried on there by Spain.
This is even true of Europeans in gen
eraI, who are still more remote from
the scene of action. We are all alive
to the situation in Cuba. But the other
conflict is the much more important,
involving the lives, liberties and for
tunes Of many times more people. But
the cause of the one people is the cause
of the other, and there is a vague hope
with the people of America that both
revolts will be successful as against an
old effete dynasty whose rule ever
grows more tyrannical.
The news from Hong Kong is very
different from that received through
Spanish sources, which latter tell only
of tremendous victories over the island
ers. Reliable news through diSinter-
ested channels shows that the Spanish
troops are meeting with such stubborn
resistance that they have been brought
practically 10 a standstill. The move
ment of supplies is very difficult both
on account of the sickness OF the Span
ish forces and because Of the frequent
and desperate attacks made by the reb-
els. 1t is quite clear that nothing but
the arrival of large reiDforCements can
enable tho Spanish authorities TO put
down the insuITection.
This means much for Spain and for
Cuba The population of the Philip
pines is not small, like thar of Cuba.
There are at least 100000 people on
islands about equal to Great Britain in
area. and some authorities place the
population as high as 100000. Only n
comparatively small part of these ma
tiyes are in revolt, but the rebels are
numerous enough 10 be a formidable
force. Most of them are MalayS, a race
proverbially hard 10 handle, and the
great danger TO Spain is that any weak
ness or failure on the part of the au-
thcritieS to crush speedily the resist
ance now being made to Spanish rule
will encourage the whole population to
rise against the government In that
case the task of reconQuering the
islands would strain the resources of
Spain 10 the utmost. aside from the ne
ceSSities of the war in Cuba
The Philippine Islands are very rich
and valuable. and they will be held by
Spain as long as possible. To save
them 1t is probable that Cuba might be
sacrificed. The Asiatic Islands are the
greater and richer possession, all things
considered, and they have no such
hazardous position under the very
shadow of a power Ike the United
States. 1t is important, therefore, to
watch the course of events in the Phil.
ippipeS if one is to Keep well posted
concerning the conditions bearing upon
the future of Cuba.
