Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1899-04-07
THE JOURNAL IS OFF.

In an editorial Of last weeks Garnett Jour
nal, it is asserted that "In the judgment OF
most citizens of Kansas, without regard to par
ty, the failure of Populist government had been
scarcely less conspicuous i'll Kansas than has
been the corrupt rule OF the G. G. p"
We beg leave to take exception to the above.
It is not true that Populist government in Kan
sas is failure, in point Of honesty or ability,
and we believe it is not so held in the Judg-
ment of most citizens, without regard to party.
Leedy was an honest and able governor. Boyle
ranks out of sight of any states attorney that
preceded him in his effort to serve the people,
Every state officer, and the two judges elected
BY the Popuists, are as creditable 10 the state
as the state has ever had. We admit that
few men discredited the Populist Legislature,
but, notwit hstanding, the Statute books pro-
claim no diseredit. Its laws standing the
test of time
The fact that the voters did not endorse the
Populis party by re-eleciing its candidates does
not prove that the party is unworthy OF conh-
,ience. Its acts and its awowed principles must
speak for it, and, speaking, no Populist need
be ashamed OF the party. No tue Populist is
ashamed On the contrary, we have some
what to br proud Of. Not all tie leaders have
been false. Not all the trusted have proven
traitors. The principles remain the same.
Endorsement by reelection proves little. The
Democratic party endorsed Cleveland, but, in
so far as he advanced true democracy, his ad-
minstra;iou was conspicuous failure. All
the Democrats admit the truth of our assertion
Cleveland dismembered his party by going over
to the money power. He out-Heroded Herod,
and true Democrats chose new leader IN the
person of VIM. ]. Bryan. Kansas Populists
were as loyal to Bryan as Kansas Democrats
were loyal to Leedy. Kansas Populists will ac-
cept no Clevelandism. That is certain.
1t is not yet certain that the Democratic party
is rid of Clevelandism. Until that is a certain.
Sty, Populism will be prominent party in Kan
sa politics. The Populist party has fixed aims.
1t adheres to principles that are as eternal as
human existence. The principles liveon and
on. They will be supported by some portion
OF the people till our republic ceases to be.
No true Populist cares for name. The sup
port of Bryan was heartily given, because Bry
an, in a large measure, is of the people and for
the people. Many Pspulists are for Bryan, but
all are eternally feminist Cleveland
We own to no failure, Conspicuous or 9TH
erwse. Democrats could have done no better.
have done as we'll? Might there not have been
conspicuous failure" as in the case of Cleve-
land?

reason to believe that the overtures for
peace originated with the Americans
rather than with the Filipinos. That the
Filipinos are able to permanently resist
the small army we have on the Island of
Luzon is the only conclusion warranted
by expert opinion,
Great is the power of a censored press
in the hands of politician. 1t is plain
that call for troops would have been
issued Immediately after the passage of
the army bill if it was believed to be
popular move that would meet with
ready. response. Who can doubt that
fresh troops would have been enlisted
and forwarded TO the Philippines and our
brave soldiers whose terms had expired
relieved from duty and returned to their
homes if such a move favored Mckinley
politics? Who believes that any Presi-
dent would hold an army against the wish
of the soldiers and their relatives and
friends and rush them into action sacri-
fcing life and health, besides making the
United States liable for heavy damages
for this unlawful procedure, except an
exigency existed.
An exigency did exist, but the exigency
existed in the United States 1t was a
political exigency. Public opinion con-
demned an unrighteous and unnecessary
war OF conquest, and President Mckinley
found himself driven to the position
where he must make virtue ofnecessity,
acknowledge that the back bone of i'm
perialism is broken and treat with the
Filipinos for all independent local gov
eminent.
The American people will welcome the
close of hostilities and rejoice that the
wicked schemes of the imperialists have
failed. We confidently look forward 10 a
complete backdown by the administration
to be followed by all attempt TO seek
praise for itself and make political cap
ital for the Republican party through
claiming that they have accomplished all
that they ever contemplated doing; that
it was their purpose from the beginning
to accord the Filipinos the largest possible
measure Of selfgovernment.
The public, however. cannot be deceiv-
ed i'll regard to what their real purposes
were The failure to secure permanent
army is the cause of their failure. The
snapper OIL the imperialism, whip is a
standing army. The government must
ever remain amenable to public opinion
until after large permanent army be-
comes national fixture. The people
must not be lulled into repose or inaction
by any false sense of security because of
the imperialistic program. The trusts
and combines are as much determined as
ever that large military power shall be
powerless to defeat the purposes of those
who form what Cleveland termed the
communism of pelf.'

The fact is now generally known that
the volunteers i'll the Philippines are re-
tanned against their will and contrary to
their legal rights, i'll war on the people
of those islands, which is both indefensi-
bic and a usurpation of power by the
President. Appearances are growing very
black against Mckinley. The volunteers
were entitled to their discharge agreeable
to terms of enlistment when the Spanish
war ended. They are being retained
against their will and wishes because the
war is so unpopular at home that men
will not enlist to go to the Philippines.
If the volunteers are discharged the con-
quest will have to be abandoned, and
Mckinley will stand disgraced before the
world.

Jefferson and Jackson.

The Cecil Star in announcing the ticket
nominated last week, with the ordinary
perfunctory flourish on such occasions
among party papers, works in the
following
Cecil, eager for the fray and anxious
to do her part in bringing the State in
line again with the enduring principles
taught by Jefferson and practiced by
Jackson" etc.
What evidence has the party given in
several years that it is anxious to get Sin
line again with the enduring principles
taught by Jefferson and practiced by
Jackson ?" No proclamation of that fact
has ever been published since its apostasy
to the goldbug heresy in Germans State
convention of 1896. Don't credit the
party in Maryland with principles it holds
in contempt by silence.

Washington, February 27.-At a caucus
of the Democratic mem bers OF the House
of Representatives tonight, the. following
declaration of policy and resolution as to
the Philippines were adopted;
1--WE hold that the Constitution of the
United States, was ordained and estab-
lished for an intelligent, liberty loving
and self-governing people and cannot be
successfully applied TO people of differ
ent virtues and conditions We therefore
hold that colonial policy 10 contrary to
the theory of our government and sub
veTsive of those great prime pies of civil
liberty which We have been taught to
cherish.
"We believe. with the declaration of in
dependence that all governments derive
their Just powers from the consent of the
governed and We are unalterably opposed
to the establishment OF any governments
by the United States without the consent
of the people to be governed and In con-
formity with these principles We Instruct
the minority members of the foreign
affairs committee TO Introduce and urge
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the United States,
hereby disclaim any disposition or inten-
tion to exercise permanent sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over the Philippine
islands and assert their rmination
when an independent government shall
have been erected therein to transfer to
said government upon terms which shall
be reasonable and Just all rights secured
under the cession by Spain and thereup-
on to leave the government and control
of the islands to their people.''
Another resolution was adopted COM
menting the loyalty and valor Of our
soldiers and sailors and pledging their
hearty support and symrathy."
The resolutions were adopted by practi-
cally unanimous vote. The speech OF
Gen. Wheeler was notable in differing
with the prevailing view.

Cornish--District Attorney Had

Guard--ThIs Also Accounts for
severity Against Cornish.
New York, February 27.-Roland Burn
ham MolneuI, son of General Leslie
Molineux of Brooklyn. was arrested to-
night charged with numbering Mrs.
Katherine J. Adams, in this city on
December IS, lsaS He was locked up in
the Tombs. The arrest followed the YER
dict of the ooroner's jury accusing him OF
the crime. While the inquest went into
the death OF Mrs. Adams, 1t also went in
to the circumstances Of the death of
Henry C. Barnet OF the kuickerbocker
Athletic club, who was poisoned by u
powder received through The mails as
was Mrs. Adams. The proceedings OF the
finai day of the inquest were sensational
In the extreme. The case had dragged
along monotouously, witnesses being ex-
amined for the sole purpose, as it seemed
of contradicting Harry Cornlsh's testi-
mony in minor details OF or Of elioiting
suggestions as To motive that might
have led Cornish 20 commit the crime.
The newspapers from the beginning had
stuck to Moliueux ms the person most to
be suspected, but the prosecuting officials
apparently never har bored such thought.
The examiner was kind and gentle when
Molineux was on the stand, gruff and
severe with Cornish. This afternoon
shop keeper who rented private letter
boxes swore positively that Molineux was
his patron, using the name Of ii. {. Bar
net. 1t was proved long ago that bottles
of medicine had been sent to that letter
box. Then the handwriting experts
where called and one after another de-
clared that the hand that wrote the ad-
dress on the poison package had forged
the names of Harry Cornish and II. &.
Barnet to the letters sent to drug firms
ordering powder medicines, was the hand
of Roland b. Molineux. District At
torney Gardiner then suiuped MP the
case, directly accusing Molinsux. He
defended his office from criticism, saying
that consistent policy had been followed
and that Il complete case had now been
made out against Molineux.
He reviewed the clroumstantial evil
dence and declared the motive and the
| commission OF the crime had now been
| made plain.
The jury brought in u verdict charging
| Molineux with the murder and he was ut
once arrested and committed to the
Iombs without bail. Molineux is mem
ber of the New York Athletic club and
was, until his quarrel with Harry Cor
nish, "a prominent member OF the
Knicker booker Athletic club. from which
he resigned because of that quarrel.
Molineux's father is a paint man ufactureT
and is reputed to bs millionaire. The
prisoner has gone into good society. being
of excellent address and manners, and
prospective heir to u great fortune His
consul is Barlow 5. Weeks of the New
York Athletic club and personal enemy
