There was a lot OF PETER sentiment in
Kansas among the old-fasnioned Fopulists
but it didn't get elected TO the legislature.
Three of the passes sent by the railroads
10 legislators have been returned. None

his fare.
Mr.. Bryan will note that Kansas Popu-

STARVING TO DEATH.
crannner'

There are millions in India starving,
millions of people starving to death. Z.
A. Dorsey, ex-county clerk and present
assistant county treasurer, writes the
editor of the Eagle letter asking us to
take charge of a charity fund to be
| sent to the starving wretches of India,
| to which he subscribes ten dollars as a
starter We made no reply one way or
| the other. not because India is not emit
tied to the sympathies and aid Of Amer
| lea. but because charity begins at home
or should begin there. All the world
seems in distress. For months the cry
for the starving of Armenia has not
ceased Some of these appeals we have
published. The premier OF England,
England that has amassed untold mill
ions of wealth from India. asks Ameri-
ca to come TO the relief Of the empire
which gave Victoria her title of en-
press. Still these are no reasons why
we should not continue to help Armenia
and aid India. While there are mill
ions of people starving on the other side
of the world, there are hundreds OF
thousands of our own people going hum
CRY, and not a few starving to death.
There is an unusual cry of distress go
ing up from all over this country. There
is not city,, village or hamlet any
where exempt from distress and hum
ger and despair forced by the hard
times There is an abundance and to
spare: in fact. an immense oyerprOduc-
ton, but there is wrong somewhere and
consequent suffering. Our wealthiest
and most powerful and prosperous cit
les are feeding their own inhabitants by
the thousand, and thousands of others
appeal for relief in vain. A marked ed
itorial appeal reaches us from Monroe,
Louisiana, but yesterday. The parishes
in the north part of that state were
stricken by an unprecedented drouth
last year, such drouth as Kansas
never experienced, and thousands are
starving, and live stock is all dying.
In one parish, Union, seven thousand
people are entirely destitute, have
grown haggard and pale for proper
food, and children have died by the
score. The legislature Of that state
made an appropriation of $4,000, but
the committee which visited that sec
ton report that a million of dollars
would be insufficient to meet the eXi-
geucies of the awful condition and that
the people must be bodily taken away
and cared for, otherwise thousands will
die before the crops of another season
can be grown. So while we can but
commend the charitable responses to
the appeals in behalf of Armenia and Of
India, and admire the impulses of our
friend who desired that we take charge
of any sum that might be contributed,
along with his own, still we can't for
get the home duty-that hardly a day
passes in which there is not a personal
appeal or the tale of pity and distress
in our own midst. We hope to see
respond to the cry from India
with millions. if need be, but we must
not neglect our neighbOr and his child.
por the helpless widows and orphans

NJ. NJ. MURDOCH. Editor.
WHO is SWEATING NOWq

The Atchison Globe INDUCES in thu
hort-cut-to-truth observation that thu
members of the Kansas legislature wht
are lying awake nights concoctins
measures for the amelioration of the
condition of the laboring man, work
the hired men on their own farms from
5 O'Clock in the morning till at nisn'
for smaller wages than are paid by any
body. And that is the exact truth.
These Pop-farmers who became law
makers from bowling over the hard
ships of the corporation employe, hustle
their own hired hand out and TO work
before daylight and before he has had
his breakfast. This is all right for q
Pop-landlord who introduces bill TO
compel street railway companies TO
build yestibules 10 their cars for the
greater comfort of the motorneers. We
suggest an amendatory section compeli-
ing farmers to provide sunshade for
each plowman and working fan at
tachment for all self-binders. moving
machines aud the like, to the end that
the drivers may be kept cool.
The average complaint of wrong, the
protests against outrage, indulged in by
these Pop statesmen, when analysed,
will be found 10 be nit The protest of
re Pop is pretense, his agony of soul
but a believe belly-ache. There
is nothing in ii. no real reform, no sense
only hypocrisy and an Office. These
fellows who, during the campaign,
boosted how they were going TO enforce
economy in the interest of the poor tax
PAYER. reached into the treasury of the
people and lifted out thousands of dol
lars tc throw away on useless clerks,
before they had passed single meas
IRE of any character. They talk about
the robbery of Kansas railways, not
one of which is making expenses and
every one of which is either in the soup
or in the hands of a receiver, in the
mean time provide places for their
wives. daughters and sons at the eX-
pense of the state.
There is no question as TO a demand
from the people of Kansas for retrench-
ment and reform. The average proper
ty holder when ne comes to paying his
taxes realizes that one of two things
must happen: either public expenses
must be retrenched and all salaries and
fees of public officers cut down to the
level of other prices, or otherwise there
will be virtual confiscation of his
property. But he who voted to put the
Pop party into power with any idea Of
real reform didn't understand or COM
prehend the character Of the men who
run the Pop party. These fellows sweat
blood until they get into place;- then
they let the other fellow do the sweat
ing. The Pop contingent which reach
ed the legislature will embody their
expedients in bills and resolutions, and
dilate in speeches by the solid hour,
but it will all end as it began. in wind,
otherwise appearances around Topeka
are deceptive. The only reform dream
ed of was the turning Republican Off
Gals out and putting Pops in their
places. This having been accomplished
there is nothing more to do in the esti-
nation of these fellows except TO indi-
vidually scramble for some more desir
able or higher position, which every one
Of them. from Governor Leedy down, is
doing, either under cover or above
