that We shall get even if it takes

The editor OF The Union is pleased

of his paper and decided to remain

To abandon this opposition now is to
abandon the real principles OF Democ-
racy.
The Journal can agree with Mr..
Bailey, the leader Of the Democratic
minority, that Republican legislation
is apt TO be bad legislation. without
agreeing with him that the Demo-
cratic minority ought therefore toap-
prove any act OF the speaker which
makes il equally impossible for Dem.
Ocrats or Populists TO offer commend
able measures and force the Republi.
cans to record upon them. But more
than that-every precedent, every as.
sumption OF power which is likely to
increase the autocra;ic authority OF
the speaker, should be fought by real
Observation-Disclosures their party
name-fOr the growing domination OF
the speaker over legislative methods
is negative OF representative govern
ment and therefore denial OF Democ-
racy.
1t affords the constituents OF Mr..
Simpson great satisfaction to know
that he has the courage and ability to
represent them so ably. Armed with
the experience Of two former terms,
fortified with truth and honesty, he
is invincible. The Voice bears the
assurance to him that his constitu
ents are at his back, enthusiastic in

Jerry and the Giant.

There is a division among the
Democrats in Congress as to the pol.
icy of forcing the Republicans on
record as Jerry Simpson is doing.
Bailey Of Texas, the leader of the
Democracy, is in favor of allowing
the Republicans to do just as they
please and hold them responsible for
their record. But the New York
Journal says not ten Democrats agree
or sympathize with Bailey in this
policy. Many of them have spoken
out in favor Of Jerry Simpsons poll
cy of preventing further legislation
until the committees are appointed.
Mr.. Simpson is adding laurels to his
fame in his contest with the speaker,
which wakes warmer every day. The
leading editorial of the New York
Journal of April 18th is worthy of
quotation here:
THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC POSITION.
Congressman Simpson, Populist and
KanSan, and therefore, Of course, only
worthy TO be ridiculed, clings to the
idea that the house of representatives
is representative bOdy-nOt an autOc.
racy. Holding this belief Mr. Simp-
son is courageous enough TO attack
Speaker Reed, who refuses to the
house power 10 transact any business.
The Tariff bill is out of the way, so far
as the house is concerned. Neverthe.
less the house must remain in session
until the senate has passed upon the
measure, which, from present indica-
tiOns, is likely to be about the first of
June.
Here, then, is this body Of men, SAL
aried by the people, served with
clerks, StenographeTs, sergeants-at-
arms, pages and messengers at public
cost, remaining in session without
power to do single stroke of public
business because Thomas B. Reed, |
speaker by grace of the Republican
majority, refuses to appoint commit
tees. 10 other words, Reed is compel. !
ling the absolute waste of every dollar
paid for the maintenance of the house
of representatives.
The Journal believes that protest
against this assumption of autocrat |
power is wholly justified. 1t holds
that Mr.. Simpson has done well, and
that his party is to be congratulated on !
having a champion ready to speak out |
for common sense against Republican
and even Democratic partisanship.
The position Of the Democrats in
the house, compelled by caucus: bears
the stamp of mere partisanship, devoid
Of logic, patriotism, insight into the
future or real craftsmanship. The
house OF Representatives was not Great
I'd to be the servile tool of its speaker.

disappointed the expectations Of hi
friends who hoped he would 90 be-
fore the committee and explain.
He contents himself with standing
off and shooting interviews through
the newspapers rejecting upon the
honor Of Landes and Titus. Such
conduct will not satisfy the people
OF Kansas.
The VOICE must confess that it
has been suspicious of Lewelling for
many months, but not until how
has there been anything tangible
upon which to base a charge. Our
readers will remember double.
loaded editorial in the VoICt in 1894,
advocating new nominee for
governor. We thought at that time
we scented crookedness, but seeing
the people had such confidence in
him we smothered our presentment
and in the absence ofproof assumed
him to be straight.
dwellings ofense is no light
matter to be discovered, criticised
and then forgotten. We can con-
ceive of no character so despicable
as one who will take sacred trust
from a suffering people-a trust
involving fight with monopolists
who are sucking the life-blood out
of the maSSeS-a trust repoSed by
the confding multitudeS who are
ground down to poverty under the
iron heel of corporate greed-and,
after much and long and loud
portrayal Of the peoples wrongs on
he stump, receive his commission;
md then deliberately set about sell
ng them out. Imagine a man who
las been honored and trusted as
dwelling has in Kansas, going
about the halls oflegislation, looking
wise and pure, protesting against
extortion, parading as
riend of the people, and all this
ime with open palm extended be-
lind his back. Penitentiary is too
,ood for such characters. 1t is bad
,nough for a Republican to Doodle
although half expected, but doubly
worse for Populist.
Should Lewelling lack the self
aspect to tender his resignation as
member of the state board of
abroad commissioners Gov. Leedy
yves it to the people that he take
urinary measurer for his removal.
In the mean time the VOICE hopes
he committee (Which will reconvene
IN the 27th) will continue its labors
nd if there be other miscrtants in
'ur fold tare the mask off their
'hysiognomy so that the people
nay see and know who they are.
