WHAT AILS THE DEMOCRACY
A Kansas "Old Timers" Comment on
Result of the Election.


From the Kansas City Star
Topeka, Nov. 81. c. Waters,
of Topeka. who went off on the sill
yer question in 1896, and was led
back to his republican love by ex-
pansion this year, after he had scan
ned the election returns this morn
ing addressed himself to the demo
cratic party in the following terms:
"The trouble with the democratic
party has always been that It's doors
swing outward. 1t never quarrels
over bone; it appears at the bar
gain counter after the republican
party has made its purchase.
at never took out a copyright on
national tune. If a democratic
convention were commanded to in
stantly sing it would be voyage of
discovery to find song.
"There is something the matter
with its gastric juice. 1t does not
assimilate anything but medicine.
at is impossible to use the die
tionary to worse advantage than
that party did in 1864. 1t is the
only animal on earth that profits
nothing by sticking its hand in the
fire. There never has been time
in the history, since 1861, that it
has not been daubing arnica On both
hands for Burns occurring, one af-
ter the other.

Jefferson provoked enthusiasm.
Not half so much as the flag, a

"There is distemper in its most
robustious health, touch of the
CHAMBERS at the end of any race it
enters, and it eats sparing of any
kind of food for fear of bolts.

gumption to it. That is what it
needs.

since Douglas died that single
member of that party ever cheered
for anything unless it was produced
by forced draft. Huzzas and
kidney complaint are not buggy
team. I have watched for some
significant utterance from Bryan
that would make your blood run
cold with feeling good but his most
grandiloquent expression has its
equivalent in raising hell with the
cook for not having red snappers
for supper when there never has
been a fish market in the town, and
no railroad nearer than seventy-fve
miles.

that sweetens lime juice. No party

tries could be summed up in just

negative of the propositions advo-
Gated by the republican party
"Some day its fossils will all be
in museum or returned to the
bowels of the earth. Then let some
new young democratic souls who
have no faint of scrofula, diabetes
or fever and ague, start new dem
ocratic party that will run foot
race with the republicans to obtain
first hold of the flag, and it can
then catch thousand where the
net now only shows gudgeons or
suckers"

THE TOPEKA RECEPTION.

Topeka did her best to make the
Twentieth feel that their services
and gallantry were fully apprecia-
ted.
The city was beautifully and ap-
propriately decorated by day and
brilliantly illuminated by night.
The state house in particular was
most gorgeous at night. Each ga
BILE had appropriate notices in
brilliant electric lights. The south
gable was particularly brilliant and
appropriate. 1t showed large
flag in colors, so arranged that it
seemed to wave in the breeze, and
the motto, cit was we'll defended. "
The crowds were everywhere,
and Topeka was taxed to her ut
most capacity to take care of them.
In fact they were not entirely taken
care of. 1t was pretty difficult to
get a meal, and still harder to get a
bed.
The parade was quite extensive.
although everybody nearly froze to
death waiting for it.
The Twentieth did not arrive on
schedule time, and it was about five
O'Clock when the parade took place.
There were thousands of men in
line. The Grand Army made a
big showing, as also the National
Guards of the state. The National
Guards were uniformed and armed,
and made quite a formidable ap-
pearance, but all interests conferred
in the Twentieth.
They don't show much of the
hardships through which they have
passed ; they look remarkably
hearty and strong.
We were struck by their extreme
youthful appearance; they appeared
to be mostly boys. We wondered
if the grizzled old veterans of the

THE ELECTION

The election, with all its asperi
ties, successes and disappointments,
is over, and all we have to do now
for a week or so is 10 listen to the
knowing ones on the street corners
and drygoods boxes as they tell us
Just how it was done, and just why
it came out so.
The election in this county was
one of those still hunts that mi
nority always wants, and which the
majority party should always shun.
The Republicans have elected their
Treasurer, Clerk, Surveyor and Cor
oner, and the Fusionists Register of
Deeds and Sheriff. The want of
organized effort on the part of the
Republicans, and their cowardice in
fearing to have the issues publicly
discussed, are responsible for the
partial defeat of the ticket. That
the Republicans have majority in
this county is shown conclusively by
the vote for Surveyor. The two
gentlemen nominated for that office
are young men of ability and good
standing in their home localities.
Each was we'll qualified for the
place, and no one could say a word
against either, personally. Mr..
George, the Fusion candidate, had
the advantage of a more extended
acquaintance in the county, and of
recent practical experience in the
field, yet, when the votes are
counted, Mr.. Adamson is found to
have nearly 100 majority. Party
lines were doubtless drawn more
closely on this Office than any other
in the county, and the results show
about the normal Republican ma
jority of the votes cast.
The stay-at-homes this year, from
all we can learn, were Republicans.
The Republicans this year, con-
sclous of the rectitude of their prin-
ciples, and rejoicing in the wonderful
prosperity of the country, became
over-confdent and careless about
voting. The results were, a great
falling off of the vote, as shown by
the poll.
The results in Chanute are a sur
prise to all, and to none more than
to the Democrats. The managers
of the opposition conceded the
Fourth ward to the Republicans by
one-hundred votes, yet when the
votes were counted, one Fusion
candidate had carried the ward by
81 majority, and another lacked but
one vote of tieing his competitor.
Almost every Fusion vote in this
ward was cast, as shown by the
check lists of the managers, while
hundred Republicans failed to vote.
The other boys got their vote out
and the Republicans did not. The
two candidates elected on the Flu
sion ticket were clearly elected by
Republican votes.
The important lesson to be learn
ed by this election is that we have a
good, clear majority in the county,
and can elect our ticket at any time
we choose.

Important TO Widows.

\ new act was passed by the Legislature
regarding the laws of this state relative To
widows right in the administration Of
the estate Of deceased husband. Under
the new law widow is given all of the
household goods. Under the old law L e
widow was given only household goods to
the value o. $3.50. The new law provides
hat where there are no children when the
estate is settled and ready to be d.stribut-
ed the widow is first allowed $4,000 be-
fore the remainder of the estate is divided
between her and the relatives of the hus-
band. Under the old law she was given
only 81 900. This means that if the estate
is worth only 50 500 or less after it is set
tied the widow IS entitled TO all of it, and
the husbands relatives get nothing at all.
Another important clause OF the new law
provides that the widows statutory allow
ance for maintenance ard support may
Ike paid out 'of the income of the real estate
as well as out of the PERSONAL property. 1t
has been the practice of most of the pro-
bate courts in this state to permit the al
lowance to be paid out of the income of
the real estate during the administration,
but the law was not clear on the point,
and the courts IN reality had no authority
for it. There are other slight charges in
he law affecting a widows rights, but
.hese are the most important ones.
