THIS "EMERGENCW DOES NOT
EMERGE.

Last December Governor Leedy
called the session together under the
provision of the constitution givuy
the governor power TO do so in ease Of
an emergency. THIS emergency,
he governor said was tic demand
for railroad legislation
The court OF visitation bill was the
cure for the emergency 1t was
passed by the Populist legislature and
approved by Governor Leedy.
The law has been in operation four
months. Just three cases have been
brought under II, all Of them trivial.
That shows what the people think Of
the emergency" legislation.
The court Of visitation has not ex.
crcised as much power, had as much
business before it or done as much In
railroad matters as the old railroad
commission.
Governor Leedy's emergency" and
the result thereof shows Just what
always happens to Populist promises
and Populist performances

"GONE ARE THE DAYS"

Three years ago there was Il joint
debate in the Seventh Congressional
district between Mr. Long and Mr..
Simpson One Of the meetings was
held at Wichita and the only subject
Mr., Simpson would discuss was
money When Mr. Long asked him
some questions he refused to answer
those relating to tariff and taxation
because, he said, the money question
was the only issue and the country,
already ruined would go still further
into destruction unless the free coin
age of silver az the ratio Of ID to |
was secured.
This year the sedgwick county con-
vcntion met in Wichita. Mr.. Simpson
was present and his friends controlled
the meeting. They adopted u long
list of resolutions, but there was not
a reference TO the money question,
free silver or 10 to / Mr.. simpsons
speech did not refer directly or Incl
dentally to the free and unlimited
coinage Of the white metal or to the
money question at all,
II three years ago Mr.. Long had
predicted that convention would be
held in Sedgwick county and Mr..
Simpson would speak without refer
ring to silver, Mr. Simpson aud his
friends would have denounced the
statement as absurd. They could not
have looked forward into the future
and seen their champion totally for
getful Of the great cause. II they had
we doubt II they would have voted for
Simpson and silver in 1895 with the
enthusiasm they displayed.
The sedgwick county Populsts did
not forget to pass resolutions, they
only forget about silver. They unan-
imously resolved in favor Of hauling
down the American flag at Manila and
they denounced the President for the
conduct Of the war The money ques.
ton does not concern them now II
has been discarded. But just think
of the change which three short, busy,
prosperous years have brought to the
Populist wing of 'the silver forces. "

A FLYING SWITCH.

Occasionally some statesman whose
idea Of statecrait is anything to.
beat-the- Republicans" lifts up his
voice and says the tariff is responsible
for the trusts Mr.. Havemeyer, the
Democratic head Of the sugar trust,
recently uttered some such senti-
ment and every little Demo -Populist
paper and politician has been glibly
repeating it. We are sorry to see our
anti Republican friends worked this
way, for we are sure they will remem'
Der that such a trick is scheme of
the money power to divert attention
to the tariff from the real question,
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 10 to /. All through the last
campaign the Demo- Populsts simply
shrieked at the mention Of the tariff
and declared it VS. immaterial and
irrelevant, and that the money ques
ton was the whole thing. Now, in
stead Of laying trusts onto the gold
standard they basely desert Mr.. Bryan
and the glorious cause to follow Mr.,
Havemeyer and say the tariff is the
issue.
We notice that Mr.. Bryan is onto
this effort to side track the free coin
age Of silver at the God-given ratio of
10 TO |, and that he is not endorsing
Mr.. Havemeyer But lot of our
Demo-Populist friends, thinking that
it is good howl against the Repub-
Leans, and thoughtless of the conse.
quences on the great plain people in
the battle with the Octopus, have en-
dorsed Mr.. Havemeyer's cry and are
letting the silver question 60 to
smash while they return to their old
love, the tariff.
OF course it is easy for the Republi.
cans to show that the tariff has about
as much to do with the ordinary
trusts as the Lords prayer has. The
greatest trusts are the railroad corpo-
rations and the Standard Oil, and they
are not effected by the tariff. The
fact is tariff, or no tariff; the trust has
been getting there just the same, and
it is only political buncombe to make
partisan matter over something that
is non-partsan in every way.
In 1896 we tried to get the Demo-
Populists to discuss the tariff qucs-
ton but they would not. There was
u tariff then OF their own manufac-
ture, made by Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Wilson,
MIR. Simpson and the others. They
lodged the tariff question like they
would a man with the itch; in fact,
about like they dodge the silver qnes-
ton now Their only hope is to kick
up lot Of dust about trusts" when
they would not know what to do on
the question If they had the power,
and the Republicans are the people
with nerve enough to pass laws Only
the extreme necessity Of the case, the
disappearance Of the calamity talk
and the desire for office can excuse
our Demo-Populist neighbors for de.
sorting Mr. Bryan and following Mr.,
Havemeyer, from changing from free
silver to tariff

Of the People.


For the Reflector.
CALCUTTA, India, July give are
glad to get the REFLECTOR, as it will
furnish US with the home news.
Though we are missionaries, we are
yet human and like to know some
thing OF how things are moving in
our country. OF course, we have
valued correspondents in Dickinson,
but they give us little information
concerning passing events. | have
been having the fever for a few
days but am better and contemplate
a trip to Benares.
Bengal presidency is flooded all
over and the young crops are being
destroyed by washing out This has
been the wettest season Bengal has
known for years. Fever abounds,
both natives and foreigners suffering
from it. Whenever there is a burst
OF sunshine in the city the streets Of
Calcutta are almost lined with fever
stricken patients who are brought
out for a sun bath. One would think
the remedy would have the effect Of
frightening the fever and it would
with foreigners-not SO with natives.
Though Bengal has had such q
superabundance of rain, with the
Bombay and Madras presidencies and
the central PROVINCES it is vastly diff
ferent. All these have the grim
prospect Of famine staring them in
the face. So far scarcely any rain
has fallen and the monsoon season is
already well past, the outlook is sad
indeed. In the central provinces the
Marwari grain merchants bought UP
all the grain and are actually praying
to God for another famine so they
can make another fortune. They
have advanced the price of rice be-
/ yond the reach of thousands OF pool
natives and this is the beginning o.
the sorrows. Soon skeleton forms
will people the rainless regions and
piteous appeals for help will reach
the ears Of the more fortunate.
There is very little plague in Cal
cutta, only TIVE new cases today. 1t
Poona there is great increase anC
whole cities are evacuated. MANY
Americans and Europeans are seek
ing the hill regions. Our winter
weather corresponds to June in Kan
sas and the climate is all the time
dangerous and trying. No motive
outside Of missionary effort would
keep us here another month.
