kepublican matters. LEWELUNO AND WAITE. like other Fepeitet Laden They Con tinue* to Be RMteolooi. Within the last eighteen months the i*ople of the Unitad States have had two samples of the results of Populist government and it is a pretty sae wager to make that these samples will suffice for many years to come A year ago the state of Kansas was disgraced by Governor he welling in-his attempt to usurp the powers of the legislature and override the will of the people. Troops were marshaled in front of the state house and bloodshed would have followed had the militia been obedient to the commands of the Populist governor. The knowledge that these commands were in viola tion of the constitution of the state alone prevented a bloody encounter between the executive and legisla tive branches of the government Xow comes “Wade-in- Blood-to the-Bridles” Waite of Colorado, with his state militia and a detachment of United States troops. Siege is laid to the city hall ol Denver, which is a veritable arsenal of policemen, firemen and citizens determined to protect the rights of two police com missioners whom the governor had attempted to remove either without cause or for political reasons. The governor's nerve, however, was not equal to the occasion and he did not dare oppose the will of an indignant populace Consequently a compro mise was effected. Such displays cannot fail to im press the American people with the irresponsible character of the men who represent the Populist party in high places, says the Detroit Tribune. The Populists have lost their oppor tunity to gain some permanent strength in the Western states by the conduct of their official repre sentatives. Wherever a • Populist official has been elected there has been found a conspicuous lack of dignity, efficiency and patriotism. As has been frequently remarked, members of the Populist party pos sess all of the vices of both the old parties with none of the virtues of either. Experience has shown that no legislature is as venal and cor rupt as one composed largely of Populists. Place a Populist in power and he immediately be comes the exponent of all the evils which he affects to despise. The executives of Kansas and Colo rado have shown the people of those states that they were unworthy of the high public offices to which they were elected. They have also shown : the country at large the futility and barrenness of the Populist scheme for the reform of the country. Law lessness and a wanton disregard of the rights of citizens have marked the administration of public affairs since the Populist regime began and the Tribune has no doubt that the people of those states have long since repented of their folly and will "do deeds meet for repentance" at the next election. Lewelling and Waite have been of service to the country as object lessons and noth ing more. “Senatorial Honor.’* There have been times when the ctarge that members of the United States senate were see-sawing a clause in an important bill for the purpose of influencing the stock market and giving them a chance to make large sums by speculating on inside information would have been indignantly denounced on all sides and believed by nobody whose opin ion amounted to anything. But now there are known to be men in the senate who-are quite capable of such a course, and the intimation that the delay in deciding on the sugar schedule in the tariff bill and the succession of contradictory “tips” given out are not only enabling men high in public life to gather in enor mous speculative profits, but are deliberately intended to do so. can not be denied to have a strong color of probable truth. Tike National Debt. With two exceptions, all national debts in Europe have been consid erably augmented and in some cases trebled or doubled in the last quarter of a century. There bas been a con tinuous reduction in the debt of the United States. It was especially rapid from 1880 to 1890. the per cap ita debt being reduced $38.33 in 1880 to $12.24 in 1890, while tho average per capita debt of the countries named above was $35.62 in 1890. It is pertinent to add that our debt was reduced more largely during the last Republican administration than in any other period of four i years since 1880. Not until the j present Democratic administration, i with its new economic policy, came j into power was there a cessation of i the process of paying off the debt. | Hu the Proper Qualification!. j The Broadway boodler, Jaehue. : hag been restored to citizenship, "by not?

C!erelmn4's (’ahlnshlag Cm of rwn»|a to Gaia HI* On KMU. Mr. Clertlud has posed as a civil service reformer. The most notable letters written and speeches made by him in 1884 dwelt upon the ne cessity for uprooting the -spoils sys tem” and elevating the civil service. With a great deal of fervor he in sisted that merit should be the test in appointments to office and in pro motions, and that neither the presi dent nor the head, of a department should remove any subordinate ex cept for cause. His unctuous and eloquent exploitations of this doc trine gained many votes. It is fair to say that during his first term Mr. Cleveland put restraints upon place hunters and otherwise practiced, to some extent, what he preached. In the campaign ot 1892 there was apparently no abatement of his zeal for reform. But even the mug wumps are now forced to confess a total loss of confidence in their quon dam idol. The course be has pur sued leaves uo basis for a presump tion of sincerity. Look at the rec ord of the administration. Assistant Secretary of State Quincy was al lowed to loot the consular service to reward political workers. In the treasury department the most effi cient chiefs of bureaus and the most competent and faithful clerks have been summarily removed to make places for Democrats. The facts have been laid before the president again and again, says the Cincinnati Time8-Star. He says nothing and does nothing. Furthermore, offices were traded for votes of congress men last summer in favor of the silver-law repeal bill and patronage has been used in an attempt to con ciliate the support of senators from the infamous Hawaiian program and for nominations made by the presi dent. With unblushing indifference to past professions, to the party platform and to the sentiment against bribery and corruption, the great reformer in the White house has resorted to spoils as a means of carrying out his personal policv. This is the raw truth. Nobody in Washington doubts it or offers de nial. It has become a common scandal. The civil service reform association openly arraigns the pres ident for perfidy and rank spoilsism. Even Harper's Weekly repeats the charge with approval Inflated false pretense no longer avails to conceal fraud and humbug. No Place Like Rome—lust Now.. There is one virtue which the Democrats of the country seem to possess in ever-increasing measure. It is an intense love of home. So strong is it that it will not yield to the seductive influences even of an important election. Election day finds these domestic voters hugging the fireside and refusing to leave it, even' although the penalty of their affection be the turning over of af fairs to Kepublican hands. This disposition became very evident last; tall It grew stronger when two ] congressmen were to be elected ini New York city. It piled up an un heard-of majority of 187,090 for Grow in Pennsylvania. It has swept! the town elections in New York state] for Republican candidates, except] where leading Democrats had polit-l ical push enough to kill three or four men at the polls and so assert them selves. Politics has nothing to do with it The Hawaiian business has nothing to do with it The Wilson bill has nothing to do with it All these things we know, because our dear Democratic friends tell us so. They assure us that there are just as many Democrats in the country as ever, only they are not voting this year; and it is hinted that their passionate attachment to their homes is the reason of their absence from the polls. We do not know whether this mysterious affliction that has moved across the country, as if it were a sort of political grippe, is real homesickness or not. But it is clearly fatal Physicians are in vain. Wherever theso Democrats are who have not voted, we may bo assured that they are not going to vote. If it is a great comfort to their sor rowing and lonely political family to think that they still survive, though only as political cataleptics, it would be cruel to deprive them of that solace. It is satisfactory enough to. Republicans to know that no trace of them is discovered in any state of the union when the election returns come in.—Pioneer Press. The; Are A live to It. Since it has become known that Senator 'Mills of Texas and Senator •Jones of Arkansas improved their opportunities to change the inquisi torial income tax clause of the Wil son bill so as to bring building as sociations and thereby the innumer able class of wage workers, under the tax, a new element of opposition to the obnoxious measure has been awakened.—N.

Highest of an in Leadening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov*t Report Absolutely pure Am Important Experiment. An experiment begun last year th« Oklahoma experiment station with com was to determine the best location from which to secure seed for Oklahoma *“*• It was apparent from the results —which showed it in nearly every in dividual instance—that seed brought from the oorth produced more grain and less stover than seed brought from the south, while the reverse is of course true—that southern grown seed pro duces more stover and less grain than northern grown seed. This experiment will receive the close attention of Prof. Magruder this coining season, when he intends to compare southern and north ern grown teed with Seed grown in Oklahoma. The professor will send Oklahoma grown seed south and north to be grown and returned to him for trial on the station farm. This is done in order that there may he no uncer tainty sa to variety. Besults of this valuable piece of work will be watched with interest not only by Oklahoma farmers, but throughout the United States. A Sad Picture, The next time you are to a melancholy mood, as you are almost certain to be if you become bilious or dyspeptic, picture to your self the condition of s poor man who, with out resources and with a family on his hands, nods himself on s sick bed. Gloom obscures his narrow horizon In every direction. Un able Jo do any work, without means, or friends capable of assisting him, with the possible prospect of continued lit health; with rent, perhaps, unpaid and unpayable, theontlook for him is gloomy Indeed.

Malura, rheumatism, kidney and it ver com plaint, dyspepsia and nervous disease al ways yield to It. A Broad but Truthful Statement. Professor Ueorgeaon of the Kansas agricultural college propounds the startling inquiry, “Has your attention ever been called to the fact that when yon feed 1,000 bushels of corn to a lot of steers you waste 800 bushels of that corn?” This seems like a broad state ment, yet it has much truth in it when said of some of the feeding done in the west, where manure is not properly saved.

One tour has yielded me a crop of twenty-four anchors; and on another I came across the wreck of a sloop loaded with scrap j iron, that I sold. It waa the wreck of the Warrior, and had lain peacefully at the bottom of Hell Gate since 1656. “Working old bottoms,” like the War rior, is another way divers have of put-1 ting in slack time.
