About the Future OF Kansas Politics.


The Kansas Democrat publishes and endorses
the following editorial from Conner Davies pa
per, the Concordia Kansan. 1t is mighty good
readi for ?opulists
The recent developments in the senatorial
race has decided one or two things for certain
ty. 1t has settled the one fact that the spoIls-
men OF the Republican party are yet in the as
cendancy.
1t has settled the one fact that principle has
given absolute sway to the politician. You can
not name single one of the gang known as
the Burton crowd in this state that would make
a single sacrifice for the sake of principle.
You cannot name single one of the leaders
who would make single move i'll politics save
for selfish purpose.
The men who are in power in the state of
Kansas at this time look on the common voter,
the man who goes up to the polls and votes be-
cause he thinks there is principle involved, to
the rank and file of the party that has elevated
them, as so much chinking in the structure of
the party-they are just mud to be used as the
men who run the machinery may need them
i ne result OF the senatorial race is eVlQenCe
that the machine is strong one and It is COM
plete i'll every particular-except that it has no
soul. That will be its undoing.
The Kansau makes this prediction now: The
state of Kansas is about to enter on period of
corrupt politics such as it has never seen before.
There is not single trust, corporation or any
organized monopoly IN the state of Kansas at
this time that need fear the curbing influence of
the law nor the Republican administration now
in charge.
There has been ample evidence since the
election that they will be oblivous to the wish
es Of the people, careless of their pledges and
utterly defiant in the distribution of the spoils
of Office.
This r.cklessness will not be wholly confined
to matters of the state. 1t will be carried to
every nook and corner of Kansas.
They fancy that the party is now impreg-
uable and cannot be dislodged, and whatever Of
contest there is in these matters will be wholly
confined to the distribution of plumber among
themselves.
As we have said in the begin ling, the fact
that they are without soul will be their undcing
We have faith in the intelligence and in the
backbone of the voters of the great state O
Kansas. They will reseut the encroachment o

the boss when he carries his schemes beyond
the limit of honesty aid decency-whch now
seems imminent.
Is there nothing for Popuists to do when
such condition confronls us? Will the people
of the state forget that it was the Peoples
party thath as carried forward the reforms they
had asked for for years before the organization
of the party? Are they going 20 be long IN
grateful of the legislation they have given the
state when they have it 10 compare with that
which the Republican spolsmen is likely to
give them?
Is there any reason to believe that the Re-
pubicaus are going to improve on the county
governments the Populsts have been giving
them all over the state where they have been in
power? The indications are that the wolves are
exceedingly hungry and the expenditures will
have to be with a lavish hand to satisfy The
hungry horde bowling for plumber
Does anyone for moment think that the
regime of the Republicans in this county is 60
ing to be such that there will be no more work
of reform for the Peoples party in Cloud couu-
ty? The stencil that will be raised during the
coming year or two will be such as to drive the
men who vote the Republican ticket, because
they imagine that there some involved,
without the pale of the party and into the one
that offers them reliet. The Peoples party has
saved them once-there is work for it to again
in Kansas, even though it be dead and obliter-
ated elsewhere.

RAILROAD consultations are going on so
rapidly that it will be but a few years till the
transportation facilities of, the whole country
will be controlled by one trus To add TO this
alarming prospect, the same syndicates are abb
sorbing all other lines OF business that can be
monopolized. And still, large number of the
people are yet of the opinion that there is no
menace to the country in this concentration of
capital. Like the man drifting in boat down
Niagara river. unconscious of the inevitable
plunge over the falls, they do not realize their
danger. But if they should learn the lesson
the capitalists are teaching of the vast benefits
of organization, cooperation and concentration
of effort, they will be able to apply that remedy
before it is too late. That remedy is govern
inent ownership. Tgton Courier.

A Strange MetamOrphOSiS.

After Tom Patterson was elected to the Unit
ed States senate by the Populists of Colorado,
his first act was to 1epudiate his former party
associates and to declare himself Democrat.
Mr.. Dubois, senator from Idaho, went through
the same transformation process, and he also
came out ful-hedged Democrat Does this
mean that the Populist party is going to join
the Democrats Ell masse? For the last four
years there has been but little, if any, differ
ence between the Populists and Democrats of
the West in reference to the main questions of
party politics, so that it really made no differ
ence to which division of the great allied army
voter belonged; but the time is coming when
II will make vast difference. Tom Patterson
as a Democrat will be just as good man as
Tom Patterson the Populst, but it must not be
forgotten that Dave Hill is also Democrat
and Tom Patterson and Dave Hill are as wide
apart as the poles. Populsts may still be will
ling to support Patterson, but they might as
we'll support the Devil Dave Hill
There can be no union of reform forces under
the name Of Democrat, for hat name covers up
too great multitude of both Sins and sinners.
1t is true that rose by any other name wou'd
smell as sweet, but the name Democracy, by
virtue of its long history of peThdy and dis
honor, smells so bad that The iragran' Of al the
roses in the universe cannot Sweeten its aucen,
perfume. There more than two million
mem who voted 70, Brvanism who will not
march under the soiIed banners OF Democracy,
and not even the eloquenoe of Bryan will charm
away their disgust a. the name Of his party.
What will this great army of voters do? Will
they reorganize as Populists, and make another
fight under the old leaders, or will they 60 on
with Socialists and Others to found new reform
party consisting OF all those people who believe
in the Declaration of Independence direct leg
islation aud pebble ownership?
What will Bryan DO in this crisis? VIII h
90 with Hill and Croker, Cleveland and Wat
terson, OF will he go with the common people,
to whom he claims to owe allegiance? His
new paper is called The Commoner, because it
represents the common people. Will that pa
per lead the Democracy to the people, or will
it try to lead the people to the Democratic
party?
The times are full of dissatisfaction and un-
rest-the people are waiting auxiously for the
development of a strong party on radical lines.
At least three millions of voters are ready to
follow strong leader in:o the ranks of Social
ism, but Bryan has said that he is not Social
ist. Will he become Socialist in the near
future? If MOI, he will not be the Moses who
is to lead the people into the promised land.
The immediate future is full of great sur
prises, and, before the election next fall there
will be terrible rattling among the dry bones.
We await coming events hopefully and without
fear.-Central Farmer and Nonconformis.
