CHAMPE, THE PRINTER.

ACCORDING to a dispatch in the Topeka
Capital of the Goth inst, Africa affords a great
market for American rnm-even better mar
ket than England And yet, LOT of sniveing
hypocrites talk about "civillzing" the people
of that country With every ship that takes
missionaries and Bibles to Africa goes cargo
OF liquid damnation. Is it necessary to get the
natives drunk before they are in condition to
"Christianize" them? If not, why is this thus?
Will some good Christian who endoses Eng
lands war on South Africa arise and tell us?
And the war in the Philippines is con all fours''
with the war in Africa-not particle of differ
ence.

THE Atchison Globe (Rep.) says: "No one
will ever know how much money was spent in
Atchison county in the famous Bailey-Curtis
campaign 1t is said to be positive fact that
two railroad companies spent 900 each for
ultis, and that single citizen Of Atchison
spent 81 900 of his own money. Mr.. Roileys
friends probably spent considerable sum,

MCKINLEY called his cabinet officers together
the other day, and expressed desire to have
them all retain their places. H, Clay Evans is
one of the members, and no doubt he will re-
tain his Job The old soldiers who make kick
on Evans before the election, and then voted
for Mckinley, will have plenty of time to
think about it, now.

THE LATE SCRIMMAGE.

am not exactly one of the I-told-you-so's,
and yet foresaw the election of Mckinley.
"Whom the gods would destroy, they first
make mad"
Any student of history, who is a close OBJ
server, can see, without the aid of leather Cog
giles, that a lot of people in the United States
have gone mad.
It may be midsummer Madness" or the
madness may run into midwinter. But, after
winter cometh the spring, with its springing
grass and singing birds. Lo! summer is at
hand, and the gods shall not destroy.
Reformatory movements are not of contnu-
Gus growth. There are seasons when the OPP
posing forces of human progress seem to be
victorious. The apparent victories ale only
temporary.
Reverses have their place in the evolution of
higher and better civilization. The frosts
that nip the leaves, leave the roots uninured.
Gods people ascend to Heaven through great
t1ibulation.
Minorities, generally, hold right principles.
Minorities have ideals. The unreasoning null
titude has neither principles or ideals.
i am not cast QOWn. you IelSnSj dnc 81
sure as God reigns, Mckinley providence will
be cast down.
1t is not much use to discuss causes. L am
content to call it temporary madness. l watched
the campaign closely, and to me, at least, no
good reason existed for the reelection OF Nc
Kinley. The cry of prosperity was fraud.
The antitrust plank in the Republican platform
was transparent hypocrisy. A wooden man
ought to see that the forcible seizure of the
Philippines was in violation of the leading
principles of our government, and both unjust
and inhuman. All readers Of history know
that standing armies, in every instance, have
been the instruments that crushed liberty and
checked progression. Mckinley stood for ev-
erything that is wrong in free government.
There is no redeemlng trait in modern Re-
publican character, and no principle in Repub-
lican practice that favors the laboring classes;
and vet, the mass of the men who voted for
Mckinley thought they were doing right A
strong delusion hath blinded the eyes, and dull
ed the intellect.
So far as am concerned, enlisted for the
war, or during my natural life, and will oppose

WHY should member of the Kansas legis-
lature be herted by the Topeka bosses? Why
doesn't he pay his own railroad fare and be in
dependent? The next legislature will be
largely Republican, but, unless its members
show little regard for the peoples interests,
the following legislature will be Populist.--
