EVEN such proposition as the in
itiative and referendum without which
there can be no real government Of
and for and by the people, is meeting
with opposition from the republicans
nearly everywhere. 1t is true that
Governor Pingree Of Michigan, is in
favor Of it and that the active young
mayor Of DeS Moines, Iowa, which
city has recently adopted number Of
reforms, is outspoken in its support,
but all over this state republican pa
pers are printing squirts of varlagated
malice directed at it, and but for the
united opposition of the republicans
in the lower house Of the legislature,
the people OF Kansas would this fall
vote on the proposition of amending
the state constitution so as to make it
a part of our legislative system. This
act alone should condemn the republic
can party in Kansas. The fact IS that
the republican party is so dominated

THERE is nothing so queer as q re-
publican. The big dailIes will malign
aud vlllify our soldiers at the front on
the editorial page aud compliment
them among their dispatches, Pro-
badly however when they do get fav-
orable mention In the news columns,
II Is because the editor-ln-chief has
lost bis blue pencil or Is too much pre-
occupied In telling of the political ap-
pointments to the army made by Gov
ernor Leedy. to notice what his tele
graph editor is doing. The Topeka
Capital of August 2nd, contained a
dispatch from Camp Alger from which
the following extract is taken, IAN
other indication regarded as favorable
Is that there have been q number of
regimental and two brigade reviews,
In all of which the Kansans acquitted
themselves creditably. In the first
brigade review before General Sheafe,
Indiana was ranked highest with q
grade Of 99 per cent, New York was
second with percentage Of 97I, and
Kansas followed closely with 81. The
Kansas company lines were as good as
those In either Of the other regiments,
but the boys in our regiment had re-
ceived their guns 80 much later than
the others that they fell down on the
manual of arms" We wish to sug-
Rest as a good subject for the military
editors OF the Kansas dailies to dis
cuss, that they now explain how IL is
that. Kansas troops differed by men
appointed through political influence,
who don't know the difference be-
tween an army corps and an apple
core, can drill soldiers which rank
among the very first of the volunteers
and get grades in competitive drills

States made up Of men who served

SOME people are trying to make sport
of the demands of the populist plat
form for state insurance, state stock
yards, an 4 etc. To them we may say
that the platform itself recognizes
that these propositions are in conflict
with the present state constitution,
and can only be accomplished by
changlngit. To do this it must be
submitted to vote of the people.

they think they do not know enough

REPUBLICANS seem to speak of the
system of State insurance, proposed in
the populist State platform, as some
thing entirely without precedent and
without sense. In the year 1895 the
German government paid compensa-
tion to families of So, 272 working men
who were carrying accident insurance
There are now II, sos, 100 persons
carrying this insurance. During the
eleven years the system has been in
operation s7l, 45O, 600 have been paid

SECURITY or BANK DEPOSITS.
THE Topeka Mail and Breeze last
week contained two-column writrnp
concerning tne proposition to establish
through State legislation, u guarantee
fund for the purpose OF paying of the
deposltors Of defunct State banks. II
will be remembered by our readers
that just before the State Legislature
met the last time, the GAZETTE made
some little effort 10 agtata the matter
and have II brought before the legls
lature. In fact the question was dis
cussed and one or two members had
some sert Of bill formulated. How
ever II did not seem to be considered
that the time was ripe for legislation
on the subject and 1t went over Now
the Mail and Breeze states that Mr.,
BreIdenthal In his forthcoming report
as bank commissioner, will recommend
the establishment OF the system by the
new legislature, adding that he says
two years ago he did not favor II be-
cause the banks were not In shape to
stand II. Now their condition has I'm
proved until he feels the time is ripe
for the move. But this 10 not all,
The Mail and Breeze says Represent
alive Berkholder, republican from
Marion, and banker, Is also agitating
the question and formulating bill to
be introduced In the next legislature.
Congressman Fowler of New Jersey,
the article also states, will present the
same plan to Congress at the forthcom-
ing session, to be applied to national
banks. Several bankers of this State
have been interviewed, and while
there are number who favor 1t, 1t Is
probable that the majority will oppose
1t. But it is a subject for State egij-
lation and while the bankers rights
should be obrerved and guarded, the
interest of the public should be pro.
tected, whether the bankers like IL or
not.
As none Of the State platforms have
declared for it, Il is hardly likely that
such bill will pass at the next legis-
lature, but IL is sure to be discussed.
and 1t is a certain thing In our opinion
that In the course Of few years the
people will be no logger compelled to
either hide their treasure away where
thieves may break through and steal,
or place 1t In the keeping of some bank
to be the plumber Of some sleek and
genteel skinner. With the banks col
lectiyely paying the proportion OF the
losses the banks individually are una
BILE to pay, they will SEQ to it that the
laws are observed in banking and there
will be an inducement to see that It's
Violators are punished. The evil of
old will'o-the-wlsp, wildcat bank cur
rency has been cured by legislation.
The will'o-the'wisp bank deposit
which Is equally as meDacing to bust
ness, enterprise and economy, will
vanish also before intelligent legisla-
lion.

For some few weeks the News in
common with other republican papers
has been having sort Of yarioloid
breaking out because Governor Leedy
paid 80, 100 out Of his contingent fund
in attorney fees to firm Of able To-
peka lawyers, for assisting Attorney
General Boyle in defending the inter
ests Of the State In eleven cases
brought against the State superintend-
ent of insurance by the insurance
companies With an assumption of
omniscience they ask how 1t Is, II Boyle
is so good lawyer, that 1t is neces-.
sary to employ eminent council to
assist him in these cases. In reply we
may ask what amount Of work they
expect one man to be capable OFF,
And also why 1t Is, II the insurance
companies and other corporations en-
ploy good lawyers, thew find 1t neces-
sary to employ several in the same
caseY A. II. Horton, who was once
chief justice of Kansas, was paid 49,
600 for a fee by the insurance COM
panies in one case. But then there
are other items which, in the exercise
Of good judgement, should make these
papers lay quite exceeding low. I'm
der the Morrill, business administra-
ton, there were no suits against in
surance companies or other corpora
tions, in the interests Of the people to
make them comply with the laws and
reduce charges, requiring legal assist
ance, There were only Investigations
to GUST populist officials that republi-
can henchmen might have their seats
at the pie counter. To this end was
Morrill's contingent fund used. 81
900 was thus paid out and of this
amount the following sums were paid
