DIR. McLALLIN rs DEAD.

To the readers of the ADVOCATE, this
name is familiar. DR.. McLallin was
among the active members Of the Farm
ers' Alliance in 1889. The wonderful
growth of that order demanded a journal
through which it's principles and prac-
tices might be promulgated throughout
the State. DR.. McLallin, with little to
aid him except his faith in good things,
his devotion to the right and his smbi-
tion TO be useful, started the ADVOCATE,
and asked the State Alliance TO support
the enterprise. From that time until
about year ago he was the editor of the
paper, and absolutely controlled it's po-
litical policy during the first three or
four years Of his connection with it.
DIR. McLAllin was a brave man. He
hated shRms, and he had the courage to
say so. He saw great evils in social life,
and he exposed them; he knew that COR
rupt practices had debauched the great
political parties Of the time, and told the
people about 1t. He believed regener-
alton in politics is necessary to maintain
popular institutions and to perpetuSte
the republic, and he felt that needed re
forms could be brought about only by
and through q new party. Hence he
was devoted Populist.
Like many thousands besides himself,
no favored an early convention of his
party in 1896; but, like them, when other
CoUnssls prevailed, and Democrats moved
forward toward the POpulist platform,
he felt it to be his duty to temporarily
co operate with them in order, il posi-
bic, to secure at least ono advanced posi-
tion.
DR.. Mc[Asllin was not Rnsionisb. He
believed in ssEaiRht politiCa He waa an

honest man. He did not understand
what is called practical politics, " and
had no patience with men whose princi-
pies were in their pockets He was q
good hater. He despised towards His
poverty attested his creed. He was
wholly unselfsh. He wanted to make
men and women better. He aimed to
enlarge the field Of employment, and he
thought there is room and a place on the
earth for all men and enough to be done
to make the people comfortable, giving
profitable work for every willing hand.
Strong in his belief thai the reforms
he taught would some day appear, he
had latterly lost hope Of their coming
through peaceful action at the ballot
box. He had come to believe that, like
those Of the republics Of old, the present
government Of the United States will be
swept away by violent and destructive
revolution.
In the death Of this man, the reform
movement has lost hard, honest, faith
full worker, sincere and devoted friend.
His death occurred Thursday last, March
4,l697, after an illness Of several weeks
duration. His remains were inferred
Monday in the cemetery at Topeka.

matter only makes it harder for man
to do his duty in such matters in the
future. Doodle being offered, it was the
duty Of these Senators to their colleagues
and to the public TO let the facts be
known, and to state for what purpose it
was offered. The ADVOCATE is Of opinion
that the action Of Senators Titus and
Jumper was commendable and that they
should have due credit therefor.
The advocate., 1897-03-10
NO HOPE FROM THE NEW REGIME.

The Republican party is in power and
it's President has declared his policy. In
his inaugural address he says:
The responsibilities OF the high trust to
which 1 have been Callsd-alwSys Of grave
importSnce-aFs augmented by the prevailing
business conditions, entSiling idleness upon
willing labor and loss to useful enterprises.
The country is suffering from industrial dis.
turbances from which speedy relief must be
had. Our financial system needs some re-
visiOn; our money is oil good now, but its
value must not further be threatened. It
should all be put upon an enduring basis, not
subject to easy attack, nor its stability to
doubt or dispute. Oar currency should con.
tinUe under the supervision Of the govern
ment. The several forms OF our paper money
offer, in my judgment, constant embarEass-
mOnt to the government and q safe balance In
the treasury. Therefore believe Il necessary
to devise system which, without diminish
ing the circulating medium, or Offering pre-.
MUM for its contraction, will present q rem
edy for those arrangements, which, temporary
In their nature, might we'll in the years of our
prosperity have been displaced by wiser pro-
visions.
The new President recognizes and
states the fact to be that prevailing bust
ness conditions entail idleness on willing
labor and loss to enterprise. In this all
the people concur. He promises that
speedy relief" must be had from these
industrial disturbances" Our financial
system, he says, "needs some revision"
and he outlines the nature Of tho revis.
ion proposed, but in such vague terms
that nobody knows, from the words he
uses, what he means.
But whatever is to be done with the
currency, it will not be done until taxes
are levied on the consumption Of the peo-
pie and more money got into the treas
ury. This is the way the President
puts it:
With adequate revenue secured, but not un-
Gil then, we can enter upon such changes in
our fiscal lava as will, while insuFing safety
and volume to our money, no longer impose
upon the government the necessity Of main.
tanning 80 large gold reserve, with its attend
ant and inevitable temptations TO speculation.
The reason for this necessary delay is
stated to be the necessity for study and
deliberatlon in devising and applying
remedies for our conceded financial evils.
Quoting the Presidents words
Most Of our financial laws are the outgrowth
OF experience and trial, and should mot be
amended without Investigation aud demon.

sas business forsscurity for The payment
of losses and for taystion 10 all right
and should pass. Another bill enabling
mutual companies to insure school build
ings, ETC., should also pass, as it will pro-
vide cheaper and equally safe insurance
for this class Of property.
The banking bill should also be pushed
through. At present the Bank Com
missioner's power to control banks ia
very limited. He is unable 10 take such
steps as will make them safe repositories
for the peoples money without closing
them. With this bill in effect and after
reasonable time to adjust things, it
will be the fault Of the Bsnk Commits
sioner in a majority Of cases il depositors
lose in bank failures. Fortunately this
bill is not being fought by the majority
Of the bankers, az it will benefit those
who are doing safe, legitimate business.
It will hurt no one but the irresponsible,
wildcat concerns, and will do much
toward making it safe to deposit money
in banks.
The bill authorizing cities and muni-
cipalities to bond themselves to buy
wsterworks, gas, light and transportation
plants should not by any manner Of
means be overlooked. This bill will
enable the doing Of much toward demon
strating that municipal ownership is
desirable. Several cities stand ready to
begin operations at once. The only
opposition comes from those who are
interested in keeping public
utilities in private hands.
Careful attention should be given to
all measures calculated to promote
economy. Every possible saving which
will not impair the efficiency of necessary
public service should be made. Senator
Kings live stock commission bill should
be given careful consideration.
These and other good measures should
pass. Do not waste time on bills Of no

WASHINGTON dispatches indicate that
the city is being invaded by an army Of
ofice.seekers. When Governor Leedy
was inaugursted it was with delight that
the Republican papers pointed to the
numerous applicants for place. 1t now
appears that that was very tame affair
compared with the present invasion Of
the National capital.
The advocate., 1897-03-10

AT the time Of his appointment, a good
deal was said by his enemies which
would lead to the belief that Webb Nc
Nall, the new Superintendent Of Insur-
ance, would be controlled by the
corporations. His recent action in shut
ting the insurance companies which are
fighting the Hillmon claim out OF the
State ought to show that he is not being
controlled by anyone or anything but a
sense Of justice and fairness, which
should be the guiding influence with all
nfHinara.

THE capital" DEFENDS UNFAITHFUL
POpJJLIgTE
POpULIHTN.

IVA OAADAOs
The fact that the Capital, the leading
corporation paper Of Kansas, defends
those legislators who were elected by
Populist votes but who voted against
Populist measures, is not good evidence
in their favor. Referring to the ADvo.
Gates remarks in reference to their
course, it says:
SenStor PETER announces in his ADVOCATE
that he is going 10 expose every reformer who
proved faithlesS in the Legislature. The frst
name on the list win no doubt be Senator
Harris, and IT will be followed by che name oi
every faithlsss traitor who voted against
PETER for the United States Senate. The idea
OF Senator PETER is to hang, draw and quarter
every Popullst who refused to vote for fool
bills, but the defeat Of this kind Of damaging
legislation in the only thing to the credit Of
the Legislature and really proves the reHormers
to be better than anybody anticipated. Re-
gSrdless Of ill.considered platform and cam
paign talk, party can always defend sensible
Legislation and the defeat Of wild and Injurious
bills, and party that enacts laws that result
in che injury Of the people is bound to suffer
for 1t, whether ignorant people imagined they
wanted such legislation or not
The ADVOCATE has no fight to make
on Senator Harris or his friends, nor on
the men who opposed Senator Pefer's
reelection. 1t proposes to defend the
action Of all Populists who conduct
themselves asthe people whom they rep
resent expect them to do. II will not
hesitate to tell the truth about members
Of it's own party as we'll as those Of the
opposition. 1t hopes that in the future
none but men who will be faithful to
their constituents will be placed in
power by Populist voters. 1t will not
make it's criticisms Of personal nature
to any greater extent than is absolutely
necessary. 1t will try to do its part to
make the POpulist party better and
stronger and more faithful to It's pledges
TO the people
The ADvoCATE assumes that the day
when platforms were made as
means Of securing Office and not with
any intention Of redeeming the pledges
made has passed, and that the people
whom it plsases the Capital to class as
especially when they ask
equality in law, will insist on a faithful
Of promises make to them.
1t is because this Legislature seems dis
posed to ignore promises made to the
people that the ADVOCATE criticises
some Of it's members, and not because of
any personal feeling in the matter.
The advocate., 1897-03-10
THE VETO MESSAGE.

Governor Leedy has wisely concluded
to decline to sign the Senate railroad
bill. BY so doing he voices the protest
Of the people Of Kansas against meas
ure the weakness Of which is ably shown
up in the extracts from his message given
on another page. In the opinion Of the
ADVOCATE the Governor has acted wisely.
The advocate., 1897-03-10

A GOOD m6ny reform papers over the
State are calling attention TO the short
comings Of the present Legislature.
That is all right; in fact, the ADVOCATE
he's taken a hand in that sort Of thing
Itself. But the fact must not be over
looked that this Legislature, notwith-
standing its weak points, is grinding out
more good legislation than any other
that ever assembled in the State.
The advocate., 1897-03-10

THE ADVOCATE has been Of the opin.
ion that the school book bill has several
weak points in it; but Notwithstanding
this fact, it is best that the bill should
now pass. 1t certainly cannot help but
be an improvement over the present bar
barous system.
The advocate., 1897-03-10

THE work Of the Legislature for the
past week, with the exception Of its
action on the railroad bill and one or two
others, has been all right. An immense
amount Of good work has been done, and
in the few remaining days great deal
more will be done.

Since our last issue the Legislature haa

still time to do q great deal more. The

TO stop consideration of business is
Friday noon. Then several members
will remain and in form continue the
