for the republican principle of majority
rule If our theory that the majority
should rule is right then let us hasten
TO make our institutions conform to the
theory. The suppression of the vice
and rule Of the people either by consti-
tutiOnal prohibition or by debauching
the legislatures and elections in an open
invitation to revolution. 1t is to be
hoped that we in Kansas are about
ready to make our state government in
fact what it is in theory, self-govern-
ment by the people This can be done
by SO mending the constitution that the
desired changes may be proposed by the
people themselves. What is wanted is
a peOple-made and not a politician
made constitution"
Although he does not say so in that
many words, MI McLean'S plan is the
initiative and referendum. He does
say: Whenever a reasonable number
of people of the state desire that a pro-
posed amendment should be submitted
for the consideration of the people that
right should be secured by petition.
Whenever a majority of the members
of the state legislature desire that a
proposed change in the fundamental
law be made, they should have the
right to cause it to be submitted to the
consid Grafton of the people.
1.-The state should take advantage of
the inventions and improvements in
printing and should own and operate
ats own printing plant. It should pub
1iSh periodically a state bulletin in
Wnfcn ShOuld appear all legal pubi1ca-
tons Of a state character and in which
should also appear the reports of state
officers, proceedings Of the legislature
and in which should also appear the
proposed amendments" This plan as
suggested by Mr. Mclean would, if
adopted, do away with the official state
paper. He suggests that an amend
ment should be made to the constitu-
ton providing that One-third of the Ie-
gally qualified electors of the state or
a majority, instead of twO-thirds, of the
legislature, may by petition or resolu-
ton secure amendments to the present
constitution He thinks this would af-
ford the initiative and referendum peo-
pie. the equal suffragists, single tax
ers, TeSubmisSiOnists and all lovers of
free institutions could then amend the
constitution to suit the people and not
be compelled to follow the present plan
of long delay and heavy expense.

THE LAW AND THE Ae1rAToR
Charles F. Spencer Sees a New Era
in the Affairs of Mankind.

Speaking upon the above subject,
Charles F. Spencer said: 1.-THE law
stands for that which is, for the exist
ing order of things. COntending against
this existing order of things, we have
with US always the agitatOr. These two
forces, the law and the agitatOr are the
two great mill stones between which
nations are ever grinding out the grist
of progress
I'VE are on the threshold of a new
era in the affairs OF mankind. The
world is overlooking with indications
that great disturbances are to take
place in the next generation or so of
time. In 1S4S the spirit of political rev.
olutiOn was abroad throughout a large
portion of the civilized world. The Spir-
it of revolution is again abroad and is
active in the most important nations of
the world but this time it is more par
ticularly the spirit of social and indus
trial revolution.
I'VE have no right to close our eyes
to that which surrounds us and most
vitality affects our highest interests. and
to base our faith in our future exist
ence simply on the fact that we have
not persisted in the past. We have no
right to conclude that the fountain of
liberty and security is inexhaustible
simply because we have drunk so deep
" from that fountain in the past.
And while in European countries the
policies of kings and emperors and the
movements of navies and armies are
the most direct menace to their peace,
and indeed to the peace Of the world.
yet deeper than these it will be found
that the agitation of social and indus
trial questions more seriously threaten
the peace and perpetuity of those cOun-
tries.
In the storm center of the agitation
that has been and that is to be we find
the labor question. The agitation of al
the important social and industrial
questions seems to find utterance and
expression through the laboring man.
When the actual contest comes on, we
find him in the front rank of battle. He

monopoly. And if he and his organiza-

BRAGG CAN'T FORGET.
He Explodes a Bomb at the Army of
the Potomac Banquet.

Chicago, Jan. 28.-The response of
General Edward S. Bragg, commander
of the Iron Brigade of the army of the
Potomac to the toast, 1.-The army of the
Potomac" created a stir at the ban
quet of the Western society of the
Army of the Potomac at the Sherman
House last night.
Memory will not down at the bid
ding" said Gen. Bragg. IT am as
thoroughly reconstructed as a man
ought to be, but it makes my flesh
cringe to see recommendations to fed

shown in endeavOrS to tear down the
government. 1t does not come with a
good grace to me, in my cynical turn of
mind, to be instructed in the cOnStruc-
ton of the organic law of the nation,
the traditions of the people, and the
proper legislation to be enacted to car
~ out the doctrine of the gOvernme nt

from desperate attempt to destroy the
whole nation.

that there might be re-enacted in the

I see a statesman from the south and a

lions of government, it would almost

lions have in many respects become
tyrants, it must be remembered that
they have fought their way inch by
inch up and out of the Egypt of dark
ness and bondage against masters
whose tyranny was manifold greater.
History affords no more heroic bat
tie and no more Respondent victory for
themselves and for civilization, than
that which has been fought and won
singIe-handed and alone against all
odds, by the Trades Unions in England
within the last So years.
Mr.. Spencer then reviewed the history
of labor agitation and strikes in this
country with reference to the use OF
military force, deputy marShaIS and
special detectives, and draws the con-
cIusion, First, that we have no effective
means and power to suppress laWless-
neSs-incipient revOlutiOn-where large
bodies of the people are the moving and
disturbing element. Second, that our
government cannot be long maintained
and our laws enforced by these agen-
Cies, as they are opposed to the vital
principle of self-gOvernment. He then
said:
within the last several years in or
der to escape the direct contact between
the law and the agitator a new exer-
else of equity jurisdiction has been in
vOked, which bears the popular label
Government by Injunction Ana
whatever wide difference of opinion
there may be as to the legality or eX-
pediency of the exercise of this JuriSdic-
ton in labor troubles, there certainly
the use and exercise thereof, we are
evading and lodging the question, which
in the end sooner or later we will have
to meet, and which is, whether the peO-
pie are capable of elf-gOvernment.
If our best informed public men, law
yers and judges cannot agree as to
what the law is, how can it be expected
that there will be harmony among Ia
boring men in their opinions, or re-
spOnsibility for their acts and conduct.
But the source of dependence which
should be placed above all others in a
government like ours, is that in the ul-
innate judgment of the people there
abides the most ample justice. History
and experience teaches that in prOduc
ing results, agitation can rise no higher
in the end, than the source of reason
and justice from which it is fed. 1t is
significant that within the last year Ia
Dor leaders in high position, and inf1u-
entail labor organizations, have taken
a strong and decided stand against the
use of unlawful means. Especially was
it noticeable that Eugene Debs, one of
the most prominent labor leaders and
agitators, and the head of the Social
Democracy movement, recently at Chi
cagO cut himself and his followers loose
from all anarchiStic or revolutionary
organizations.
Every reform movement must soon
er or later find its level Sooner or Ia
ter it must submit its claims to the cool
judgment of the people. And to what
ever extent it relies upon unlawful or
illegitimate methods for success, to that
extent it must sooner or later meet with
disaster"

BROKE DOWN THE TABLES.
$4,000 People Stampede the Denver
Barbecue.

Denver, Col, Jan. 2S.-The National
Stock Growers convention, after three
days of harmonious and important de-
alterations, came to an end yesterday
stockyards, and the Burlington railway
and the street car companies carried
from $4,000 to 10000 people to the
grounds. So great was the crowd that
the six tons of meat served was hardly
enough to satisfy all, and before the
crowds could be served the tables
against which they were surging broke
away, and, brushing aside the police
and military guards, the crowds over
run the grounds, helping themselves to
what was in sight. Governor Adams
and Mayor McMurray were present, but
their approximations were unheeded.
The crowd was gOod-natured, and no
one was hurt in the stampede, but,
there being no possibility OF restoring
order, the management declared the
barbecue over. The mistake made by
the barbecue committee was in issuing
too many tickets, $4,000 having been
given out.
At the closing session of the associa-
ton, Ex-Governor Richards of Wyoming
read the report of the committee on
resolutions. 1t recommended the gath
ering of statistics on the cattle business
by the federal government; declared
that the interests of the mountain
states demand transit rates to all points
west and south of Chicago; the passage
of additional retahatOry commercial en-
actmentS against foreign commercially
unfriendly nations; a stand against
proposed national anti-vivisection laws;
national measures for the extermina-
ton of ticks and wolves in the cattle
growing states; protested against the
rejection by the United States army of
western branded horses; recommended
the growing of sugar -beets; asked for a
transportation rate based on So foot
cars, and asked for the cession of the
arid lands to the states in which they
lie.
The last resolution was voted down,
but the others adopted.

sion of all the surplus"
Added to the government of $50 000, 900
bushels for last years crop the 30 000, geo
bushels carried over from the crops of
1896, gave Mr.. French his basis of $780,
600, 600 bushels as the original supply.
This he proceeded to dispose of as fol-
lows:
Exported to date, 145, 900, 900 bushels;
estimated necessary for home consump-
ton, $40, 600, 600 bushels; estimated nee
essary for seed, CO. 00O. 900 bushels, max
ing a total of 545, OOO,O 600 bushels COM

The difference between the original
estimated supply and the amount ac-
counted for is IFS. O0O, 900 bushels. This
is the amount of wheat which, accord
ing to Mr. French, furnishes the key to
the situation and on which the Clique
has put a price of 10 cents advance Of
the Chicago price for May wheat, what
ever that may be from day to day.
''The situation is simply this" declar-
ed Mr.. French. Everything goes to
show that this country has sent abroad
more than its -exportable surplus; we
think wheat has been over exported to
the extent of 15,0OO0 600 or 10000, 900
bushels and that the United States is
