that which we are accustomed to- OBJ
serve In our congress. The bills to come
before the parliament are first carefully
considered in the cabinet, each and every
member of which Is considered to be
responsible for the measures approved
been prepared 1t is submitted to the
parliament for action. AS the cabinet
is made up of the predominant element
of the house of commons. there is ordin-
arilly no serious opposition to the meas
ures proposed. But If a bill is defeated,
1t becomes necessary to change either
the ministry or the parliament in order
that the two bodies may again be in
harmony. In respect to financial mat
ters. the procedure is for the ministry to
make a careful estimate of the necessary
expenditures of the year and then either
to increase or decrease the taxes in order
to produce just enough revenue. This
differs from our practice in the following
particular: Most of the taxes imposed
by the United States government have
another object than purely to cover the
expenses of the government. Enough
must be levied or liquors to discourage
as far as possible the manufacture. with
sary to the needs of the people. Then
a tax on imports must be levied sufficient
to accomplish the purpose of the protec-
tive tariff. If such taxes do not amount
to enough to carry on the government
other taxes must be levied, but If they
exceed the needs Of the government
some provision must be made for dis
posing of the surplus. But in the Eng
fish system the necessary xpense of
the state are the only element to be
considered.
In order to become a law, a bill must
receive favorable action from both houses
and then signed by the queen. But as
the house of lords is a nan BODY.
1T does not always readily respond to
the desires Of the which
changes according to the changes of
opinion among the people. In case of a
serious disagreement between the two
houses there are two methods that may
be adopted. One of these is a dissolution
OF parliament. If the result of the new
election is adverse to the desires Of the
house of lords, that body generally
yields. The other method of securing
is by the creation of new peers.
The queen always has the power of add-
ing to the membership of the house of
lords, and when necessary to carry an
important measure, on the advice Of the
prime minister, will create enough new
peers, who are favorable to the bill under
consideration, to make a majority. Such
a possibility holds the action of the peers
within a reasonable conformity to the
sentiment Of the people, and such opposi-
ton as is made in the upper house is
usually of a beneficial nature.
The third party to an act of parliament
IS the queen. Her assent is essential in
order that any bill may become a law.
That is, she has an absolute veto. But
this is a p~rerogative Of the crown that
is only exercised about once in q can
fury or two, as the queen acts under
the advice of the prime minister. and
IN case of important measures. he nre-
fers to adopt other methods, instead of
resortlng to a veto, which would seem
10 be almost a revolutionary act.

and constitutional law. On

mat account he may nave excused him
SELF from the chair of the committee on
resolutions while the labor plank vas
being formulated. leaving the work to be
done by men who are not familiar with
the state constitutional inhibition of
class legislation. To be plain about It.
the labor plank above quoted means
nothing. pledges nothing. presages moth
ing that is tangible or constitutionally
possible as far as an eight-hour law is
concerned. 1t is a farce. If the labor
convention which is now fusing with the
main democratic convention is SAT- SIZED
with thai plank, then the labor onven
ton is not true to labor, does not hon
estly represent labor and is wholly un-
worthy the support of laboring men.
A wise plank in the republican state
PLATFORM was this: I'll.
Resolved: That the republican party
has no part to perform in the rivalries
and contentious of democratic leaders
and factions; that it will form no
entangling alliances and will not be
debauched by promises, money or
r'ass, but will carry o the present
campaign true to the declarations Of
the republican platform and to the
everlasting principles Of truth and
honesty.
In view of the above instruction the
Inter Mountain, beyond printing all the
facts and the news Of the situation at
Helena, is constrained to avoid taking
sides in the political function now going
on in the state capital.
We may, however, without violating
orders, express the view that in the great
contest now waging across the noun
tains each wing of the democracy seems
to have a thorough and intimate knowl-
edge of the main characteristics Of the
other. We have nc doubt that what they
Is no occasion for any one to show"
them. They have Travelled together and
fought the cause OF prosperity and re-
~spectability for many years. And now
that it has come to a parting of the
ways and John S. NJ. Neall and John r..
Toole must split blankets, we advise each
of them to look out lest the other get
The larger piece. 1t is very sad-this
d~isintegration Of a great political party
on account of a few petty offices, when
really so much could be accomplished for
labor and good government and for hui
mainly by keeping the party together
and trying to elect Bryan and bring on
another panic to break every man in the
United States that owns a house and lot
or a horse or has ten dollars to his name.
These magnates will go on unmolested
now and will probably be encouraged by
republican victory to keep on the high
way Of prosperity. while the masses,
composed Of those who Will not work,
but expect democracy to make them
rich, will be disappointed and compelled
to strike some bloated republican for a
job. sew
There may be two democratic
tions, and with one of them the popu-
lists and labor party will fuse. But if
they do, the fusion will not be based on
any regard for either populists or labor
ing men, but only on the self interest Of
the populist and labor delegates.

A WORD TO KANSAS FUsIoNIsrs.

If the Democrats and Populists
of Kansas get together on any
thing like equitable and satisfac-
tory terms a sweeping fusion
victory is a positive certainty.
On the face of the 1898 returns
the republicans lack $4,000 OF
being a majority party. With
such a comfortable surplus OF
votes to fall back upon, only
the worst kind of political folly
can prevent the election of a
clean fusion state ticket, or,
what is more important still, a
Bryan delegation to the electoral
college.
There are individual Demo
Gratis and Populists in the state
to whom the prospect Of another
fusion is not congenial. Most OF
them are prompted by conscien-
tious and loyal partisan motives.
They rather resent working and
voting for a candidate of some
other party than their own.
Such partisans lose sight entire
ly of the great and overshadow-
ing proposition which ought to
be greater than the likes or dis
likes of any voter, greater even
than the personality of any can
didate. William ]. Bryan can
not hope to be elected next
November without Kansas. To
carry the state for Bryan and to
rebuke Hannaism and all it's
atrocities should be the guiding
star of every anti-republican in
Kansas of whatever party. 1t
is not a time to discuss etiquette
or to split hair. With a ticket
made up of able and clean men
there should be no fear as to the
result. The possibility of too
much ambition, too much greed,
too much revenge, resulting in
political catastrophe, form the
only apparent menace.-K. c..

An Insult to Lincoln.

Lincoln did not propose to abolish
slavery because it ''was opposed to the
very essence of free government. He
declared over and over again after he
was elected that he had no attack to
make on slavery. He issued his procla-
nation at last because it seemed to be
the only way to strike an effective blow
at the cause of the rebellion. Mail and
Breeze.
A republican newspaper will deny
the laws of gravitation IN order to
support its party administration. In
order to uphold Mckinley policy in the
Sulu Islands the Mail and Breez e
deprives Lincoln's character of those
very impulses that have given the
republican party the negro vote for
thirty.6ve years.
Lincoln was man of one purpose
in politics, and that purpose was the
essence of free government
liberty and pursuit of happiness of the
citizen. He was an abolitionist, not a
republican, and Individually he would
| have issued his proclamation oil
emancipation the day of his inaugura.
ton, but could not for two reasons
first, he was not legally empowered;
| and second, the sentiment of the
republican party would not have
supported him. He could call his
countrymen to arms for the preservation
of the union, but not for the purpose
of freeing the slaves.
He maintained that this government
could not exist "half slave and hall
free" and from the very opening OF
the war he had in mind the ultimate
extinction of slavery, if it lie within the
power of union force.
To say that Lincoln was not against
slavery is an insult to his memory. 1t
was the one passionate object of his
life. Winfield Tribune.

Great Bend is now the connection OF
the east and west divisions of the
Santa Fe local freight, the change
taking place Monday of this week.
The train crews on all the local fteights
on main line now make this town their
headquarters. This move has been
under contemplation for some time.
Hutchinson made great play to re-
tain this business, but could not 'scut

addition Of quite number of families
to Great Bends population and the
consequent increase in local business
that will naturally follow.
