Steamship company's steamer Santa
Rosa from San Diego yesterday, news
was received of another horrible acct
dent Indirectly attributed TO the
Alaskan gold excitement, which is be-

It is not too early to draw conclu-

an opinion shared by the ablest poll.
ticians of ali the political parties thai
last Tuesday sealed the fate of Popu
lism in Kansas. Like it's branch in
the South, the party will now proceed
to 60 out of business. 1t may keep
up appearance for a year or two, but
its fate is sealed, it's race is run, and
soon it will depart forever. For two
years the rank and file of the party
have been firing Of the pretense OF
keeping up national organization
which simply played second fidle to
another party. They have tired of
fusion, of subterfuge, Of humbug,
and they will force a general reorga-
nization. Thousands of them ex-
pressed this WEAKNESS by coming
back into the Republican party.
Other thousands are simply waiting
for the Democracy to give some sign
of coming to life when they will
hasten to join it. In politics, az in
religion, men want some principle to
which they can tie. Populism long
since surrendered the last vistage of
every principle, or even policy. Hav

the defeat of the Populist party was
due to the bad conduct of the Popu-
list leaders. To use his own words
II am out of politics. I saw the
trend toward defeat six months ago,
but I was powerless to stop it. The
trouble is that the Peoples party
has drifted away from the purposes
for which it was created. The is
sues on which it was founded have
beer abandoned by self styled leaders.

4 Great Day For Kansas.

Probably no other State in The
Union, says the Kansas City Journal,
is today receiving 80 many hearty
and sincere congratulations as Kan
sas. It is certain that no State merits
them more. Kansas is redeemed.
She is clothed and in her right mind.
By a mighty effort she has thrown of
the incubus of Populism and has re-
lieved her good name of all reproach.
The men who have been standing up
as her representatives in congress
and advertising her as the champion
of bad money and the enemy of cor
porate enterprise will be retired and
their places filed with men who will
represent her in an intelligent and
wholesome way. The State admins
tration which has scaDdalized her
public Offices and outraged her insti
tutions will give way to successor
that promises a restoration Of her
good name and Of good government.
Kansas is a great State and her
people are great people. They
have lately gone wrong sometimes
politically-very wrong indeed; but
they get right again. With their re-
cent costly experience with wild-eyed
politics they are likely now to con-
tinue right for some time to come.
With good Republican leadership
clean, vigorous, sound leadership
Kansas ought to become q fixture in
the Republican column and again
shine as one of it's brightest orna-
ments.

The Passing Of the Populist Party.
The overwhelming ma orities
gained by the Democrats in Texas,
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and
other southern States, with the re-
demption of Nebraska and Kansas
by the Republicans. mark the extinc-
ton of the Populist party as natioal
organization. Populism was born in
the South. It's organizers in the
West came out of Georgia and South
Carolina. It's greatest numerical
body was found south of Mason and
Dixon's line, and, for time, it made
great inroads upon what Thomas
Watson characterized as "the brutal
Democratic majority" But, com
mencing with the fusion of 1896,
Populism began. to disintegrate. At
the elections Of 1897 it made q poor
showing. In the October elections
of this year the showing was even
poorer. and in the elections of this
week the party was practically swal
lowed up by the very organizations it
was created to fight.
There never is room in American
politics for more than two great par
ties. Twice, perhaps three times,
within the century new party has
been able to GUST nm old party and
take its place in national politics-as
when the Wings followeiotbe Repub-
licans. and were in turn followed by
the Repul licans again-but for one
such success there have been many
failures. and the passing of the Popu
list party is but the addition of a
page to very familiar history.-Kan.
