CARB0NATED PATRIOTISM.

Governor Altgeld never voiced hap
pier expression than this: I've are de-
velOping kind Of carbonated patriot
ism which seems to derive its most
sparkling qualities from respectable
boodlelsm." The governor realizes the
fact that under false pretense of 10y
atty to constituted authority. plutocra-
cy buys Justice" brushes liberty and
destroys manhood among the masses.
The real anarchists, he declares, are
the criminal rich and their hangers on.
They violate law with impunlty and
suborn law makers by bride giving.
Will anyone deny this assertion? Is
boodleism in legislative body posi-
BILE without two parties to the contract?
Behind every bride is there not lurking
In the background, perhaps with
prayer book in one hand and usury in
the other, a socalled respectable citi-
zen? Has municipal rottenness ever
yet been exposed without besmirching
the garments of churchman, or at
least a self-righteous pharisee? And
as between the two classes, the briber
and the bribe-taker, which is the worst
enemy of society-which the greater
criminal? There is no excuse for eth
er, but on the one hand is opulence
tempting avarice. Both are rogues and
both should be punished. No govern
ment, as Mr.. Altgeld says, was ever
overthrown by the poor. The state
has nothing to fear from that source.
It is the criminal rich and their hang
ers-on that menace the system of gov
eminent founded by our fathers. 1t is
not to be expected that the executive
warning will be needed by the kid
gioved gentry to whom it IS directed.
They are, as rule, thick skinned. and
do not see beyond today. They are of
the class that foster revolutionary
spirit without knowing it. Now and
then, through the centuries, it becomes
necessary to hang few of them to re-
store the Chicago Dis
patch.

THE COMING OF BABY.

When baby comes to the house real
happiness comes. The care and anxi-
ETY. count for nothing against the cling
ing touch of the little hands and the
sound of the little voice. The highest
function given to human beings is
bringing healthy, happy children into
the world. Over thirty years ago the
needs of women appealed to DR.. Pierce,
now chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
of Buffalo, N. Y. The result of his
study improved by thirty years of prac-
tlce is embodied in DIR. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription. 1t strengthens, puri-
ties and makes healthy the organs dis
tlnctly feminine. 1t gives weak wom-
en- the strength necessary for the pro-
duction OF healthy children and it
makes the bearing of those children
easy. 1t IS sure to cure any weakness
or arrangement peculiar to women;
stops pain, soUthes inflammation.
strengthens, purifies, invigorates.

shippers. and customers alike for the
reason that traffic would be greatly in
creased, business would be on the
mend and the revenues would conse-
qnently increase in all directions. The
Popuiists are not disposed to injure
any branch of legitimate enterprise;
they simply demand that one business

people may rest assured that much good
legislation will result
The Lobbyist is here, and 1t is inter-
esting to watch this sleek. polished fac
tor insinuating himself into the good
graces of the legislator. / note with
satisfaction that our representatives
are men who have studied these ques
tions likely to come before them for leg
jslative action, and are not easily car
ried off their feet by plausible represen-
tations made by parties interested in
preventing legislation demanded by the
people of this state.
Committees will report many bills
for passage next week.
Senator Titus. as chairman of the
committee on education is proving him
self we'll qualified for the work in hand.
A number of bills regulating freight
and telegraphic charges are under con-

such convention will be championed by
Senators Harris, King and Forney.

The papers state that Hon. John

Senator PETER will not represent us
in the us. senate for the next six years
as many of US had hoped, but he will te
very much alive wherever he is. His

TOPEKA. January 3O.1s97.

Those who want something at the
hands of the present law making power
OF Kansas are not few, and they are
putting their wishes IN writing. The
several hundred bills introduced in the
House are making committee work ar
duous. This accounts for the frequent
adjournments. Your correspondent
used to think that our legislatures, both
state and national, wasted a great deal
of time during such intermissions, but
has learned that the hardest work is
done at such times in the committee
rooms and this is evidenced in the thor
ough understanding each member of
such committees has of measures report
ed for passage or otherwise.
Representative Patton is a member
of the following committees: Penal
Institutions, Horticulture, Agriculture,
Irrigation and Municipal Indebtedness.
These are important committees and
your readers will understand that Mr..
Patton is busy man. He will visit
our state penltentiary next week in
company with other members of the
committee on penal institutions.
In regard to reduction of salaries of
county officers, l am informed that
there will be no general legislation
along that line as formerly proposed,
but there will be special legislation as
demanded by the different counties.
1 VoCtnrIov no
ton, of which Senator Titus is chair
/ man. submitted the question of the es-
adjustment of another Normal School
| in this state to the senate, and it was
made special oruer for three O'Clock
in the afternoon. A resolution proyid-
| ing for the establishment of two OF
more Normal Schools was discussed
and voted down. The majority seemed
to be of the opinion that this would be
rather indefinite instructions to the
committee. Among those prominently
opposed to the establishment of any
such school at this time was Senator
King of Cowley county. He argued
that the necessity for the establish
ment of another Normal School at this
time had not been made to appear; we
are in debt, and with corn worth only
eleven cents per bushel it is wrong tC
further burden our people with taxa
tlon." Senator Titus might favor one
such school, but voted mo- on the res
olution.
The Senate stands adjourned until
Monday at four O'Clock, but the House
by almost the unanimous vote of Pop.
ulist members, continues in session.
Yesterday being Kansas day, botf
houses met in Representative Hall al

WHEN the Arena Publish

the reform movement lost

GEAR REEDS v1HD1cr1vEHzss.

The following dispatch taken from
the Kansas City Star will no doubt be
of interest to those who are habitually
claiming that the republican party is
the only party which is sincere in its
devotion to the Free Homes bill. That
Tom Reed is the boss Of the American
congress at the present time no one will
attempt to deny and therefore his dec
larations are the same as settled pol
icy. Besides being the boss of congress
he is one of the national BOSSES of his
party and all lesser republicans must
humbIy bow at his pompous dictations
with as much complacency as the Cir
cumstances will permit. Reeds policy as
set forth in this dispatch will be a nau-
seating dose to Dennis Flynn and his
admirers but 1t must go in obedience to
the label on the bottle:
