Brutus Weeps Over Caesar.

Nobody would guess where this is
from. 1t is not, as 1t might be sup
posed, calamity note from the Bugle
of Reform. 1t is from the oldest Re-
publican organ in Kansas, the Leaven-
worth Times. In Kansas politics pro.
duce many strange results, and not
the least Of these strange results in
the first district consists that the
truth regarding railroad influence is
told. Read it,
"A grave danger confronts the Re-
publican party in Kansas. The rail.
road corporations have begun their
efforts to gain control of the party
machinery, through their agents, the
Topeka bosses. One of the worst in
fiuences which can affect politicians
is that of the railroad corporations
working for their own interests. Their
representatives continually try to
worm their way into party councils,
caucuses, primaries, conventions; in.
to the legislature or its lobbies; into
congress itself. No danger is more
to be avoided by the Republican party
in Kansas than this of yielding too
much to the railroad influence. In the
recent district contest two railroads,
the Missouri Pacific and the Rock ISL
and, played prominent part through
their attorneys. They showed their
hands very plainly. There are many
Republicans who have suspicion and
dread of the mere possibility of the
Republican party becoming pliable to
the manipulation of railroad corpora
tions. The indications may easily be
exaggerated and cause an alarm
which might reinstate the Populist
party in power again in Kansas"
