PROGRESSIVE KANSAS

In the first New jersey congress
district. w. J. Browning was elected
representative on Tuesday, his ex-
penditures amounting to 1852. 70. His
democratic opponent spent $709. Rep
resentative-elect Almy of the Four
tenth Pennsylvania district paid out
81, 900 to defeat Oscar n. Rockwell,
whose campaign cost him 1856. 20. But
in Kansas, where political wicked
ness and corporations are abhored,
these things are managed better:
~. S. Guyer, Republican candid
ate in the Second Kansas district,
states that the Republican campaign
committee required from him before
the primaries the payment of $1,000
In addition he spent $96l.Ss. Mr..
Taggart says he received $3.50 from
Congressman James T. Lloyd of
Missouri, in aid of his campaign. In
addition he spent $3.50 for railroad
fares and 81 for CIGARS
There is an ominouS sound to the
statement that the Republican cam
paign committee required of him
So, 900 before the primaries. In
Queens county such thing is inter
preted as raw work'' or .'hideous
corruption according to the temper
of the interpreter. In New Jersey
the use of so large sum would never
be tolerated. In Pennsylvania it
would create a scandal. In any of
these communities a pre-primary as
sessment would cause an upheaval.
But in Bleeding Kansas they know
how to bleed candidates, even in a
primary campaign. They are practi-
cal people, who will soon demand the
ante-primary as necessary adjunct
and complement of the primary
form of government. All the new
panaceas facilitate the circulation of
| money when they are applied to the
political affairs of Kansas and other
truly progressive states. By the way,
Guyer is a highly progressive Repu-

A VILE BUNCH

Any newspaper that will cast any
reflections upon as virtuous and high
~ respected young lady as Miss
Bend tarring case, is unworthy of the
respect of the community in which it
circulates. In this connection the
following editorial from the Kansas
City Times strikes US as eminently
voicing our sentiments:
The story of the Shady Bend tar
party discloses one of those unimagin-
able facts wherein depravity of the
basest degree is manifested in a group
of men, Normally, any group is bet
ter than the best man in it. The
men of the tar party helped each
other to be vile.
The victim of this extreme deprav-
ity is an estimable young woman
whose one offending was that she was
illimitably superior to the wretches
who Inundated her Yet if she had
been an erring woman, or even a de-
based one, what spark of manhood
would have permitted her to be
treated as she was?
AS applicable to the unspeakable
fellow who decoyed her, one recalls
the reply of Henry Clay Dean, a fam
Gus Missouri lawyer of the early days
to man accused of the crime which
Ricord contemplated. The man
asked the lawyer to defend him and
admitted to him his guilt.
NO" said Dean, 81 will not de
fend you. You ought to be shot out
of a redhot cannon, through barbed
wire fence, plumb into hell.''

I'VE notice." says mild editorial
rebuke, in the Wichita Beacon, that
two or three editors in this neigh
borhood are worrying because Billy
Sunday viii make large sum of
money for his preaching in Wichita.
If none of these editors put up any
of the money there will be no occas-
ion for them to feel aggreived- 1t is
the general statement that it costs
two or three hundred dollars per
head to save some of the souls that
Billy Sunday saves. There are three
or four men in this town that would
be worth it if they were converted
at a cost of $4,000 a head. Every
thing except religion has been tried
upon the men without good results. -
