nlty. Inc MAJOR was always uncOm-
promising in dealing with the wrongs
and abuses that threaten the country.
Would that the ounger element of the
fraternity would take inspiration from
the record of Major Hotchkiss, who
for half century has spurned money
and position for the glorious privilege
of being right on public questions.
We quote the following from his vale
dictory. Read it.
''This number closes volume AZ of
National Republican. We have edited
and published it regularly since the
summer of 1865 With strict fidelity
to creed and country its weekly visit
to the homes of patrons has never
failed. We came from the loins of q
hero of the 1776 period who sacrificed
and fought for iberty-for freedom of
speech and for the right of all men to
''life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness," to equality before the law.
Inheriting the unyielding patriotism
of the founders of the republic we came
to manhood Jeffersonian and to the
Territory of Minnesota in May, 1854,
Free Soil Democrat, purchased the
North Western Democrat that was
started in st. Anthony in 1853, and
removed it to Minneapolis. It was
the first paper published on the west
side of the Mississippi river in the
Territory of Minnesota. In 1856, af-
ter the nomination of Buchanan for
president, we floated the Fremont flag
and led the advocacy of his election in
Minnesota. In 1859 the Free Sellers
asked the old abolitionists to join
them in the new political organization
called the Republican party. The
overture was accepted and resulted in
the election of Abraham Lincoln to
the chief magistracy of the nation
upon LETTERS oman principles. 1t was
return to the pure democracy of the
fathers who elected George Washing
ton to the same Office.
"Rebellion followed the triumph of
the Free Soil Republicans. The ma
tional treasury had been looted by the
Buchanan adherents who concentrated
the munitions of war within the seced-
ing states, but the worst traitors were
on Wall Street. They were financial
pirates who should have been executed
for treason. They we're permitted to
live and become leaders of the Free
Soil Republican party. In 1875 they
had led 1t so far from first principles
that we could not conscientiously fol-
low and, to protect the people from
becoming Shylock's vassals, accepted
Peter Cooper's leadership and assisted
in the organization of the Greenback
party that afterward became the Peo-
pies party to which National Republic
can has ever been loyal. No other
party of today~represents, American
ism as it Is grandly proclaimed in the
Declaration of Independence. There
are individuals in the so-called dem
ocrat and republican parties who are
not on their knees before the financial
high priests who are wrecking free
government. William J. Bryan of
Nebraska and Gov. LaFollette of
Wisconsin are conspicuous examples
of the few safe leaders in the old par
ties. It remains to be seen whether
their counsel will be q dominating
power. Unless it is no man can safe
" remain outside the Peoples party.
This Is the teaching Of our long con
.l noection with the editorial ! profession

The Responsibility Of Citizenship.
JACOB A.. (Auhor OF "now the Other t1an lve."
T. ideal cilzen"> "

LTlZENSHIP that lies down, content to let itself
be robbed, abused, made byword of, is bad citi-
zenship
prefer the company of the man who does
the robbing and the abusing any day to that of
the fellow who tamely submits to it.
The doctrine of nonresistance does not apply
to civic politics. am afraid it does not apply to
anything yet. I wish it did, But I don't see
how you can make things go with it until first you
have hammered the life out of the other fellow.
Good citizenship, and forever, is Chris

ZENSHIP TO ME ARE CONVERTIBLE

MANY VISITORS HERE.
Large Number of Outsiders Attended
the Fair.

Although very little attention was
paid publicly to the large amount of
travel to Topeka during the week of
the state fair, just closed, the number
of visitors in town was exceptional.
People were buying heavily, as is tes-
titled to by the clothing and dry goods
merchants. H. A. Auerbach said to-
day:
Last week was probably our best
week of the year. The rush of purchas-
ers was even better than usual for fair
week and a large proportion of them
have been from out of town. The state
fair has evidently been well advertised.
Topeka has profited by the fair and l
believe the people who visited the town
during the fair week went away feeling
that they had been well treated"
The books of the hotels show that
Kansas visitors to the capital city
were numerous during the past week.
On two or three nights the large hotels
were turning visitors away but the
smaller houses took them in and every
one found accommodations.
