Republican Opinion.
Lawrence Jefiersonian.


Even the rock-ribbed partisan Republican
Journal has become disgusted with the Repub-
lican house, and has the following to say on
the subject
The state legislature has voted itself hoi-
Gay, and also that the state shall set up ban
quet for the members when they take their day
off, 1t is great thing to be member of the
Kansas legislature. Some men have been
known to make high as four dollars day
out of the job, besides tips and extra pay for
days they didn't work.
The following from the Journal concerning
Henry Allen, Governor Stanley's private secre-
tary, is Interesting reading:
Henry Allen deplores the fact that the Re-
publican house is grabbing at everything in
sight, and he thinks it shame and disgrace to
the party and the state that lot OF legislators,
sworn to take care of the interests of the state,
get to Topeka and scheme night and day to find
plans by which they may loot the treasury. He
calls attention to the committee clerkships as
one of the greatest of the evils, and says what
has been known all along, that dozens of clerks
arc employed and paid who never render any
service whatever to the state.

Extra Session a Good Thing.

Topeka, KAs, Jan. 3o.-Befole the present
session of the Legislature adjourns the late extra
session will have paid for itself twice over.
One CT the laws enacted at the special session
imposed a tax of 2 per cent on the gross pre-
from Kansas policy holders To-day, In ,urance
Commissioner McNal received draft in the
sum of $6,259.4I from the Northwestern Mu-
tual in compliance with the new law This
company is among the first to respond, although
$4,000 has already been collected. 1t is expect
ed that by March IS the new insurance tax law
will have brought $50, 900 into the state treas
ury, which is more than twice as much as the
most exaggerated estimates of the cost of the
special session.

possessed OF the power, refuses to suppress the
canteen, OF government saloon, in the midst of
the soldiers who constitute our country's armed
defenders, what hope can we have that he will
favor the suppression of other wrongs which af-
fict the people?
No party stands for all that you and want
in politics, but my judgment is that at the
present time, the Bryan Democracy comes near
er to it than any other party. But no one can
tell what changes 1900 may bring about; there
fore, shall wait prtently, and when the time
comes to decide definitely, my voice and vote
shall be used as think best serve humanity.

OLATHE KAs., Jan. 3, 1899.
Ny Dear Mr.. Wright:
Yours received.
My convictions against the liquor traffic have
not changed in the least, but my convictions in
relation to other great questions, as have from
year to year gained new light, HAVE changed,
until to-day regard it of more importance 10
humanity that the millions of half-starved, So
Der men, and children should have
bread than that the sel-made drunkard should
not have beer. For quarter of century have
labored almost necessarily to protect mankind
from the evils of the drink traffic. During all
these years, our government, by giving its legal
sanction to this awful business, stoned Stephen,
and nine-tenths OF the voting church members
stood quietly by, and consented with their bal
lots. Meantime, little band of Prohibition
its (rnyscl among the number) were to such
extent absorbed by their fight against the sa-
loon, and itS many evil effects OH society that
we were oblvious of the fact that the govern
nent was administered 50 as to enable favored
few to gather to themselves 91 per cent. of the
nations wealth, leaving only per cent. for
the maintenance of 63 per cent. of our popu-
latiou.
This cruel robbery has been accomplished
mainly through organized trusts
III fact the government is controlled LARGELY
BY trusts. Ju-t think of it! The lumber trust,
nail trust, wire trust, sugar trust, coffee trust,
milk trust, oil trust, coal trust, tea trust, -four
trust, meat trust, whisky trust, coffin trust
In fact the price of everything that the com
mon people compelled to have, from the
cradle to the grave, is controlled by trusts So
grasplng and nercess are these trusts that
they shut out all individual effolt The small

A BLUFF.

General Miles says "embalmed' beef was
led to the soldiers; or, in other words, that the
meats were preserved" with chemicals. His
evidence made the packers hot and they come
forward with sbig bluff. They say they will.
give hundred thousand dollars for proof that
chemicals were used in preserving the meat.
The bluff ''don't go' with Miles, however.
He tells the packers to put up the money--or
even thousand dollars Of it-and he will fur
nsh the proof that chemicals were used. He
says he has plenty of proof.

fr now transpires that Mckinley, Alger,
Eaean ct al did feed the soldiers upon "ei'-
balmed beef" and that Chief Surgeon DAILY
tried some of it upon eat, and it d'ed in few
hours. Soldiers who ate of it would have died
had not poison antidotes been immediately ad-
ministered. DAILY further tcstihed that the big
"bull flies" would light upon the meat and get
out in hurry. If the outfit had their just de-
serts, they would be imprisoned for life. But
what more can be expected of old Alger, whose
record is one of corruption and bribery?-Law-
-ence Jefersonian.

HOOK HAS HOOKED IT.

Hook, Senator Bakers law partner, has final
ly been given Fosters place on the federal
bench. AS we stated last week, Baker wanted
the job himself; but he had promised to help
Hook get it, and had written his endorsement
of Hook, so there was nothing for him to do
but stand by Hook. Even Mckinley wanted
Baker to break faith with Hook, but he refused
to do so. Consequently, Mckinley had to send
in Hooks name.
We are glad Hook won out, because his APP
poiutu1ent knocks out two of the worst old
blisters and chronic office-seekrs that ever
cursed the state-A. H. Horton and ]. Rats
Burton Horton wanted to be judge III Fos-
ter's place, and Burton wanted Baker to resign
his place in the senate and take the judgeship,
which would have given Burton chance at
the senatorship. The appointment of Hook
has given those two old barnacles setback,
and they are as mad as two wet hens. Their
friends are mad too, and there is trouble ahead
for Baker. In fact, his political sun is set if
the professional politicians have their way
about it. The best part of the whole thing is
the knocking out of Horton and Burton.
1t is probable that Hooks appointment will
give Frank L Brown the clerkship.

PEOPLE have been wondering how j. Rats
Burton could put on SO much style when he
"toils not; neither does he spin," but the Sc
cret is out. He has government contract for
furnishing shoddy clothing for the soldiers
The politicians and tricksters of the Burton
stripe always want wal, and howl "Patrlotlsm'
in order that they may stay at home, get con-
tracts and steal the government blind.-Law-
renee Jeffersonian.
Yes: 7. Rats has contract-he and another
fellsw-which pays th:m in profits, only four
thousand dollarsa month. If J. Rats had been
able to break into the senate, there's no telling
how many such nice little contracts he and his
friends would have secured,

THR investigating committee that is "inyes-
tigating' the scandals growing out OF the late
war have whitewashed Alger, but General
Miles is not an administration pet, so he must
suffer. McKinley's pets will go free, regard
less of how rotten and corrupt they may be.
