STAND roR KANSAS.

The people of Kansas of all shades of politics have decided to unlte on January 29 in holding what they call Stand Up For Kansas" meetings. It is proposed to hold them iu every city, town, village and hamlet in the state. The object of the meetings :s to rebuke the adverse criticisms and aspersions which have of late been cast upon the state. The call for these meetings says:
 Let us fling back into the faces of the eastern detractors our def ance of their abuse and malignant misrepresentation. Let every flag
 the state be hung out, every bell rung, every whsle blown and every gun fired Let Kansas make out of the occasion midwinter Fourth of July. Public meetings should be held and resolutions breathing of patriotism and love for our own state should be adopted. The cry, Stand Up For Kansas" should be taken up by every man, woman and child of the l,5OO,0OO in Kansas. Houses should be decorated and flags and badges worn. It is time our people stood together, shoulder to shoulder, for their own state"
 Col. D. R. Anthony, the veteran editor of the Leayenworth Times, a man who helped to organize the Free State movement ia the days of Bleeding Kansas and who has ever since been a prominent figure in the making of Kansas history, speaking of the move, has the fol lowing to say:
 Ever since the election last No vember, the name of Kansas has been abused and traduced without reason or moderation. Every yelp- ing dog had its bark at Kansas Every hOary, hardened, wrinkle d sinner has thrown a stone at Kansas. Every cesspool of ignorance, squa'or and inlquity Tn the east, has gasPed curse at Kansas.
 We believe that Kansas is too strong and white and pure to be spotted by these vile assaults. She will hold her own by her own in trinsic worth. The armOr of her spotless character Is impTegnable. The vitality, the sinew, the wealth Of the state will be untouched and unretarded by puny and dastardly i islanders.
 Not to rebut these islanders, and not to advertise the state, but just for sheer love and patriotism, it would be fitting thing to have a real Kansas celebration on Kansas Day. It would be notable occasion 10 express the faith and affection which the people of Kansas feel in their own great state
 While the people of the sta'e regardless of politics, inspired by patriotism alone. will unite on the occasion tc defend the fair name and fame of the commonwealth, the fact will remain as a sad commentary on the state, that the conditions which necessitate these universal "whistling-to-keep-up-our-courage' meetings, have been brought about by populistic rule. When Ksnsans meet to defend themselves from the aspersions of the outside world, they should not be forgetiul of these facts. Let the state redeem itself from the clutches of anarchistic, long whiskered populists, and the very name of Kansas will then cease to be a word of reproach, and a by word among the people of the United States.

OUR NATIONAL FLAG ON SCHOOL
 BUILDINGS.


 The old states rights doctrine of ante-bellum days still crops out at intervals In some sections of tue Southern States. When the ques tion of passing a law in North Car olins, requiring the natioual flag to be foated on public school build ings was proposed, pr. J. L. NJ. Curry, agent of the Peabody fund in speech at Raleigh, said:
 II don't believe much in the idea of having the United States flag over our schools. I'd like to know what the United States government has done for our public schools in North Carolina to demand that the flag should hang over them. It never gave a cent to North Carolina schools, except to the 4. and NJ. colleges. It is a deception and a fraud to put the flag there. It is the state that gives you education"
 The Atlanta Journal, in comment. ing on the above sentiment, says:
 There is DO valid objection to using the flag on school houses. It IS a good idea to do so, but Dr. Curry makes an excellent point when te says that the people should re- member that 1t is the state, and not the federal government, which gives popular education. IL IS fortunate that this is SC"
 The idea of having the national flag float over public school build ings was originated by the Grand Army of the Republic and it is now the general custom all over the Northern States. The idea IS broad CT and more comprehensive in its extent than either Dr. Curry or the editor of the Atlanta Journal seem to realize. It is not placed there to indicate that the public school building IS the property of the gov ernment, or the state, but for the mora noble purpose of inculcating in the minds of the youth of our country the principles of patriotism love of country, love Of tho dear old flag No great t'r principle, no more elmportant lesson eau be taught to the youth of the country than love, reverence and respect for the hag-love of country the whole country, not any single section, but for the whole country. The flag floating over the school buildings daily is an object lesson which will impress itself favorably upon the young, and which will bear fruit in after years.
 Let it float by all means.

 An Oakland telegram dated Sun day, January l7, says: An earth quake this afternoon was productive of very remarkable scene at Tenth avenue Baptist church. Rev. C. NJ. Hill, the pastor, was just closing an eloquent sermon. Just as he asked them, in au impressive manner, what account they would render of their stewardship, the building began to quake until 1t seemed that the roof would fall in. In a moment all was confusion. Some of the congrega- tion ran for the doors, while others fell upon their knees to pray, while others, with faces pale, stood waiting for what seemed to many to be cer- tain death. Deacon Joseph Flaw at tempted to calm the assemblage. He,asked why there should be fear if they had needed the words of their shepherd and were ready for the end He said they should rejoice if the end came and found them prepared. The speaker quickly restored quiet, and when he had finished all Joined in prayers of thanksgiving.

United States Minister Willis died at Houolula, January 6, from the effects of a severe cold.
 When the people voted for a pro- tective tariff last November, they knew that it meant duty on every article of foreign manufacture or production which enters into com petition with our own goods, high enough to prevent American goods being undersold in our own markets by foreign goods as they are under the present tariff, aud that is what the republican congress is going to give them, regardless of the squesls of the agents of foreigners.
 General Lee denies the statement attributed to him by Congressman Money to the effect that he did not believe Spain could crush the Gu ban rebellion. We are inclined to believe General Lees denial, as no matter what his opinion on the subject might be, and no matter what his personal feelings might be in the matter 1t would be very indiscreet, in a man holding the position he does to publicly express such an opinion, and Minister Lee has certainly heretofore manifested the exercise of great discretion.
 Two hundred and ffty-three executions, less than half of them legal, out of lO,652 murders in the United States last year, affords a subject for very earnest reflection on the part of peaceable, hard working, tax-paying citizens, The circumstance explains to a great extent the fact that more than half of the executions were lynchings There is evidently something wrong in our laws or in the execution of them; or is the sentiment of oppO- sition to capital punishment grow ing with the increase of murder, and responsible Tor it?-Phoenix Herald

 The new city administration made good start last night by cutting down official salaries and fees. There Is one item that was overlooked though, that of reducing the num- Der of police officials.

 A new swindle Is being worked in some of the towns of the territory. It takes two to work it, and they have done it very successfully at some places. One of the swindIers goes into store and buys some small article, paying for the same with a marked bill. He gets his change and departs. to be followed by his partner, who enters the store and buys a cigar. After waiting a short while, he calls for his change. The clerk says his cigar has not been paid for. The swiudler insists, and remembers very distinctly, because the blli was peculiarly marked, and proceeds to describe the bill and mark. Upon finding just such a bill in the money drawer, the clerk hands him the required change and apologies for having detained him. -Bisbee Orb.
 A bill has been introduced in the California legislature providing for the appointment of a Civil Service commission of three, the members of which shall be elected from diff ferent political parties, and shall be compensated at the rate of Sl0 a day. A chief examiner is to be ap- pointed at a salary of S2,500 a year, with a secretary at Sl,2OO. Civil service is to apply both to state and municipal offices, and the service IS to be classified. It is made the duty of the mayor of each city to appoint a municipal commission. It is a sweeping measure, but its author claims, is sufficiently elastic to be enforced. It applies to no nlective offices. Boards of examI- eers will be selected from the civil service.-Ex.
