While a combination of all the reform
forces is most desirable in the coming pO-
litical contest, yet 1t is believed that each
party should control its own primaries and
convention and therefore none hut known
Peoples Party electors should be per-
mitted to participate in the primaries and
convention hereby called.

HE YIELDED no THE BOss,

In Major Tom Anderson the public has
an example as to just what extent a
Republican will submit to being kicked
and cuffed and trampled upon and hav-
ing salt rubbed into his political wounds,
and swallow with apparent CD relish
any dish that may be prepared for him
by the boss, be it angle worms, shingle
nails or crow. In being defeated for the
appointment of pension agent the Major
was put soundly to sleep and counted
out, but he took it all, and went to the
Horton convention to shake hands with
Cy Leland.

THE TEMPERANCE UNIONS CAMPAIGN


II Christ himself were in the Gov
ernor's chair he would undoubtedly lose
no time in wiplng out the vicious metro
politan police system, but 1t Is Vehy
doubtful whether even he could make
satisfactory State executive as far as
prohibition is concerned. No Governor
has yet been found who has been strong
and manly enough to stand up for what
he has known to be right regarding the
metropolitan police law, but that Is no
reason why the lax enforcement of the
law should be laid at the feet of any one
man. 1t is something beyond the power
Of any one person; there is public
opinion constantly pulling one way or
the other, and Of late years 1t has been
question which way the public senti-
ment has pulled the strongest
Whether the temperance forces know it
or not there is a great deal that is de-
cisiVe involved in their campaign just
commencing. It was but short time
ago that q great OutcTy was raised about
an open saloon in Topeka, and the pro-
prietor was chased out OF town. But the
saloon men bided their time and worked
In by degrees until now the saloon Is one
Of the fourishing industries Of Topeka.
They are sanctioned and patronized by
the policemen, and they keep their own
hours. They do not seem greatly to fear
the present Sheriff, who Is really the
only official in the county who makes any
pretense of endeaVoring to enforce the
law, and the salOon-keepers who were
recently arrested by him are running
their places again with their doors wider
open than ever Such a condition Of
affairs would not have been thought Of
not very long since, but now 1t exists in
Topeka and in nearly every other city
and town In Kansas. There is no deny
ing the fact that prohibition has lost
ground, and the State Temperance Union
will be doing well in Its present cam
paign II 1t simply gets back the position
that prohibition has lost, that is, If 1t
can dislodge the open saloon.
The campaign about to be opened will
strike the right pace in bringing into
prominence the educational side Of the
question. AS long as man is enough
OF fool to drink to excess he will be
unreasonable when an attempt is made
to whip him into decency, But he can
often be coaxed up to a point to which
he cannot be kicked, and man who is
educated into believing that the saloon
Is a curse to civilization will make his
vote count as strongly for temperance
as 1t otherwise would against the cause.
If prohibition is to have any perma-
nence 1t must have voters to stand by 1t
at critical times, and they can best be
gained by work that shall show them
that prohibition is worth standing by.
Argument with truth in it will accom-
plish something; mere resolutions and
the throwing out Of bad names will not.

Rev. Richard Cordley, d. D., Of Law
renee, writes to one of his church papers
that the Republicans who think that
their party will elect the State officers in
the next campaign are very apt to find
themselves mistaken. DR.. Cordley is not
the only Republican who thinks this.
There are great many others in the
party who see slim chances for their
success. Their only hope lies in the

II President Mckinley meant to say
the right thing about Cuban indepen-
dence, as one of his defenders in Con-
gress has taken the trouble to explain,
why didn't he do it in straightforward
language? He put words with a double
meaning into his message, well knowing
that he stands at the head Of a people
who like nothing better than a plain,
outspoken statement, and there is but
one inference to draw from his words.
What position were we in when the rev.
olutlonary war began? Where would we
have been a dozen years later If we had
had only a Mckinley instead of a patriot
to lead us?

Webb MCNall is an example of the
ideal in politics-a man who is abso-
lutely beyond purchase, who knows his
duty and accomplishes it, who does
things about which the you-can't-do-it
cry had been harped for years, and who
will leave his Office when the time comes
as plain and unassuming a man of the
people as ever was Abraham Lincoln or
any other American.

Republican Admission of Boss Rule.

Republican Admission of Boss Rule.
Everybody knew that the First dis
trict Republican convention would be run
by the bosses and that the fellows down
in the ranks would have little influence
but it was hardly expected that the
daily which all Kansas Republicans
swear by would admit It, The following
is what the Kansas City Journal says
about it:
1T is definitely settled that the dele
gates themselves will never make a
break. They are depending wholly upon
the judgment Of their leaders. If the
leaders should say stay all summer they
would no doubt do it. 1t has reached
that point where the delegates are not
consulted to any extent.
There is one feature of the conVen-
tlon that is worthy of special mention,
and that Is the determination of the vast
majority Of the delegates not to vote
the way they want to. They are staying
here at an expense of 50 or SO a day each
for the purpose of being permitted to
occasionally announce the vote of their
delegations. So far as actual manipu-
ieAbAOAo alO SOhSOAACup fALC llhG oU
many wooden men. The convention is
being manipulated by less than a dozen
men, and whatever they do seems to
be satisfactory to the delegates.
"For instance, in Atchison county, all
OF the delegates have given it out re-
peatedly that they are for Broderick, yet,
after over 600 ballots have been taken,
they dare not go to Broderick for fear
Of engendering the wrath Of Jim CHS
ham, who Is said to own the delegation
body and soul, and who is declared to be
handling it for the sole purpose Of land
ing the Atchison postoffice. Captain Sea-
ton, candidate for Governor, and c. D.
Walker, the local candidate for Con-
gress, cannot handle it at all, neither can
Broderick, even though it is for him.
In DOniphan county the delegates do
whatever Leland says. Nemaha dele
gates don't do any thinking whatever.
They let Bailey do it for them. But
Brown county outranks even Atchison.
There are four delegates there that have
pledged themselves to Curtis and who
fought Bailey during the primary cam
paign. Yet they are afraid to drop Bal
ICY anu ~ W IH6 man ludL JnSlT u6lBn-
bors all expected them to support when
they were elected delegates. Why, no
body knows Jefferson county presents
similar spectacle. Some of the dele
gates there are outspoken against Brod-
eriCk, yet they continue to vote for him
just because their leader says to. NJ M.
Beck runs the Jackson county delegation
and the Shawnee county delegation is
composed of Judge Horton. In Leaven-
worth two delegates, one of whom is
young Dan Anthony, have threatened
from the very start to vote for Curtis,
but they have not mustered up enough
courage to break away. That Leaven-
worth postoffice stands between Anthony
and his conscience. So far as the great
body of delegates are concerned, they
might as well go home and finish plow-
ing. The leaders and not the delegates
will terminate this fight. OF course Brod-
erick and Curtis will be consulted.

The way in which the Republican State
officials mismanged the building of the
capitol walks and drives can no doubt
be explained by the Topeka Capital on
the ground that those walks and drives
had absolutely no connection with the
output of penitentiary coal.

Shawnee POpuIlsts Oblect to Leedy.

The Populist Flambeau Club of Topeka
has issued circular letter to the press
which is accompanied by the following
resolution:
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Populist Flambeau Club, deem it un-
wise for the Peoples Party of Kansas to
again nominate Governor Leedy, be-
cause he could not carry the vote of our
party, and could not make new acQui-
sitions to our party and principles, and
in our judgment he could not again be
elected. We favor the nomination of the
other officers in the State House, because
their records are such that any party can
we'll feel proud of.

Birney and Woodward, filed suit for s., 900

ness on Pennsylvania Avenue near the

or some such tool. and that he received a
very painful and dangerous wound over
his left eye. and that he also had one of
