The democratic organs are finding a
fruitful subject of criticism in the liberal
appropriation * iimdo by the last con
gress , and it need hardly bo said that
tboy arc freely exnjrgorating this facts.
15ut as they had ai : example in this
n the public statements of several
loinoernUe members of congress the ed
itors are perhaps lo bo pardoned for not
exercising "renter care to have thoirut-
toranccs truthful. Nor nro these jour
nals at all consistent. They doplorotho
vanishing surplus , nllhough the exist-
01110 of a surplus has for years been the
subject of Ingubriuits complaint with
them. It has been made to do steady
serxico as unargument ng.iinst the flmin-
oiiil ) ) ollcy of tlio ropnblican party , and
the country lias been told constantly
that keeping u surplus in the treasury
was both an injury to the general inter
ests and a danger. The only xviso and
practical xvny to got rid of a surplus is
to spend thu money , and this Iho repub
lican congress hns provided hall bo
done in such xvuys as seemed most likely
to liost , contribute to Iho general xvel-
f n ro.
It is true that the appropriations of
Iho hist congress worn on a generous
scale : uul largely oxeeod those of Iho
preceding congress , but tinloss it shall
bo shown that they are wasteful and will
not contribute to the general good noth
ing xvill be gained by criticising them.
The democratic organs cannot tminv
those things , which must largely bo
loft to the demonstration of time , and
eoiisenuontly their animadversions will
carry little xveight with thoughtful and
practical people.
Has there been any appropriation
made for an unworthy object ? The in
crease inado by the lust congress ever
the appropriations of the preceding
congrons is about $180,0110,000 , of which
S , ' > .s,0iO,0)0 ( ( ) was a di'licionuy to supply
what ought to have been providcil by
the previous congress. The largest Hem
of inereuso xvas for puns-ions , amounting
to dvor * " > S,000Ui ( ( > , and the people of the
country are not complaining of this.
They accepted the measure which pro
vided ( or this incrouso as an act of
jubtico to the old soldiers , and the very
large majority do not regret that it was
given tlioin. This country bestows a
very Inrgo amount of money annually In
pensions , but every dollar of it goes lo
our oxvn people and contributes to the
general prosperity. Those xvho got
this money nro worthy of it , it is a
patriotic duty to give it , to thorn , and it
is not xvastod. Another largo increase
was in the appropriation for the navy ,
but nearly till of this was necessary to
pay for vessels nuthori/odand contracted
for under the ! nM administration. There
xvas a large iniiiMo for the postal
service , but it is oxpivtod that the aug
mented revenue' ! xvill make up for most of
this. The appropriations for the Indian
bureau were considerably increased , but
this was necessary to pay for lands which
the Indians are to relinquish. Three mil
lion dollars xvero appropriated for const
defences , and the sum is utterly in-
signitieant in comparison xvith the value
of the property to bo protected. The
appropriation for refunding to the states
the direct tax collected in 1SG1 might
hnvo united , but Iho justices of return
ing this money to tha states that p'lid it
is not questionable. The provision made
for paying the I'rencli spoliation claims
was perhap the least defensible of Rny ,
but thoio claim ? li'ivo boon stiuuling for
generations nnd should either bo paid or
repudiated.
Doubtless by a careful process of par
ing the last congress might have con
siderably cut down the appropriations
without serious Injury to the public in
tores t & Is'obody will approve waste or
extravagance. Hut nn intelligent ami
unprejudiced study ot iho appropriations
will shoxv that the Increase , apart from
provision for dollclenolosabsolutely nec
essary , wub very largely justlllod by do-
intindtt which It would have boon con
trary te public Interest .to ignore , nnd
there is cvorv reason to expect that the
rr-snlts xvill bo for the ( 'cnnral good.
Undoubtedly the surplus will vnnlsli ,
but this is a nuittor that ought , not to
call out ( loinocr.ilU * complaint or criti
cism.
A K.i.vs.t.s tnt'DiiTu\
The report just submitted to the lower
house of the Kansas logl-latnre by u
commlUeo appointed to investigate the
operation of the prohibitory liquor laxv
xvas not necessary as evidence of the
general f.illuro of the laxv in the cities
and larger towns of the state , but It is
valuable ns cotillrniluji' the overwhelm *
ing testimony that has boon supplied
from equally ropnlablo souree4.Vlthln
tin1 past two years there hns boon fur
nished a great volume of slntomonU
from municipal olllcers , prosecuting nt-
tornoys and others In n position to luioxv
Iho facts , slioxving that not only Is prohi
bition not enforced in ICansns , but that In
allot the cities the worst evils Ineldutit lo
liquor drinking have steadily Increased ,
as they always will with an Illicit and
unregulated trntlle. Whenever the snlu
of intoxicants is carried on surreptitious
ly the xx'orstelas of liquors Is sold , for the
"joint" and "bootlegger" Hnd no dllll-
cully in disposing of xvhnt they have to
sell , they got ns much for a drink of
tlio poorest xvhisUy as they could for the
best , and their loss xvotihl bo compara
tively small in case of the soi/.ui'o of
their stock by the authorities. Tims
drinkers who obtain Ihulr supply from
those sources consume a class of liquids
that rapiiHy nmkes drunkards , and
men xvho nui&t satisfy tholr
dcfiro for drink in this way nro far
moro liUisly to carry indulgence to excess -
cess than when they can obtain what
they want publicly and freely. Illicit
liquor belling is therefor. . ) necessarily
more prolific of ovllslo individuals and to
society than a public and regulated traf
fic , and it oncoiiragos at the snmo time
a disrespect of laxv danirorously inimical
to good government ,
The Kansas legislative committee
found that the prohibitory laxv is not en
forced in any city of Iho state , and that
tlio moro vigorous the effort to enforce
it the moro irresponsible and debased
are the men ongnged in the tratile , the
moro deceptive the devices and secluded
the places of business. This is the in
evitable effect of attempting Co carry
out a laxv that virtually offers a pre
mium for deception and trickery nnd
lawlessness , and opens n way to gam for
those xvho have no respect for hnx * .
\Vliorovorlhoro is a prohibitory laxv
there Is seen the same state of alTnirs as
that described by the Kansas legisla
tive committee. It is so in Minno and
in Town , and it must always bo so under
this policy. The irresponsible and debased -
based Iind their opportunity in prohibi
tion. It is an unfailing incentive to ox-
pudicnls for its oxvn defeat , the success
ful practice of which serves to create
with a considerable and dangerous class
a contempt for all laxv.
After this Kansas report , which shoxvs
that ox'on in the capital city of the state ,
ut the very seat of government , prohibi
tion lias completely failed , there should
bo an end of till controversy regarding
the operation of the law in Kansas so
far as the cities are concerned , and no
one has ever claimed that it xvas not enforced -
forced in the rural districts , where it is
sustained by publicsontiment and whore
it is almost impossible to carry on an
illicit tiallic. It ought to effectually
silence the prohibition propagandists
who go about the country declaring that
the prohibitory laxv ot Kansas is en
forced and that it has boon suceo sful in
reducing the evils of intern porn nee.
And since in no other state has there
boon a moro honest and earnest effort to
enforce prohibition , and noxvlioro else
have the conditions bean moro favorable
to the enforcement , the failure of the
1'ixv ought to bo conclusive xvith nil in
telligent nnd unprejudiced people as to
the imprnotic'ibiUty and folly ot such
legislation. It xvill bo surprising if the
disclosures of this report do not con
vince a largo majority of the people of
Knii"as that the time has come for aban
doning prohibition and substituting high
license and local option.
M.I.TIHIITIKS stiot'rDr / ( / , / ; .
Speaker Killer's ruling and the course
of the filibustering minority nt Monday's
bussnm 01 the house wore xvithout tlio
warrant nf parliamentary law or prece
dent. They constituted an open ilell-
aiico of the majority and outraged the
rights of the house.
The independents , led by Koprcsentn-
tivo Shrmlor , xvho demanded that four
nexv members should bo added to the
sifting committee hud u perfect right to
do so , Furthermore , they hud good
ground for the apprehension that that
imnortanl committee had boon made up
to accomplish certain purposes not in
accord with the demands of tlio people
as expressed in every party platform at
the last election.
The ( iR.-uition of certain members that
the house . * onld not increase the com
mittee without reconsidering the motion
by which they were originally appoint
ed xvas utterly groundless. It is the
right of the house at any time to in
crease , rednco or dischnryt ) any com
mittee xvhieh it has created , it also has
the right lo reject their report , repudi
ate their work or make any other dis
position of it which It desires. The
committee is simply the creature and
servant of the homo. The house 1ms ro-
pentudly , in former years , increased the
membership of committees in the man
ner propo.-od by the motion of Kopre-
buntntlve Iteluin Monday.
Ami yol Speaker Kldor ruled , in defi
ance of laxv and precedent , thUt the house
did not po-hoss this right. The culmina
tion of his autocratic dletinixvns reached
when Shrador appealed from this de
cision of the chair , and the speaker ruled
that an appeal must be sustained by n
txvo-thlrds vote. A more arbitrary nnd
ridiculous ruling xvas never uttered from
a speaker's desk. The right of a major
ity to overrule thedecislon of a presiding
olllcor upon a point of ordinary proced
ure Is the commonest of purlinmiMitary
rules. Kldor disregarded it merely to
prevent any Interference xvith tlio sift
ing committee as ho had Instructed It.
Ami the withdrawal of the minority loft
the house xvithout a quorum and gave
the speaker n temporary victory.
THK Hr.K lias never been the captions
critic of Speaker Kldor or any other in
dependent , but It unluwHatlngly do-
nonnccs his coupq nt Monday's
as nn Utt\varralioi ( usurpation of power
for unworthy end-i , Shnnlor and his
friends xvciv clearly in the right In hold
ing t hat the liut9ir | had power to incrolisc
the membership of a commit too , and
that a slmplo majority could overrule
the decision of Iho chair.
There Is amphifi-eason to believe that
the boodlcrs ami lobbyists nro trying to
manipulate the sifting coinmittco so as
to defeat all rc.i&nmililo legislation In
the interest of reform. If they cannot
do this they xvill lly to mnko discord In
the ranks and I'lirt-y their point by that
means , It Is this cuurso lo which
Speaker Hldor bus deliberately given
nld ami comfort.
The situation is serious. It demands
prompt action and heroic treatment on
the part of the ft-lcnds of genuine and
effective reform legislation.
I.KT Hwrm./r.i.vx / iw rnnni urn :
Kvory ropnblican otllcor in this state
Is committed to the line of policy laid
doxvn in plain terms in the last parly
platform. Thu republican members of
the logislaluro should do tholr duty , re
gardless of the course of the representa
tives of other parties.
Kcct'iit events make It timely to rclt-
ornto these party pledges.Vhon the
independents xxvro lightintr for the
rights of the majority In Monday's ses
sion , and seeking to increase the mem
bership of the sifting committee for le
gitimate reasons , the republicans joined
the democrats and loft the house
for the purpose of depriving
it of a quorum and preventing
an honest expression of opinion.
If democrats can afford to trillo with
public business and assist the speaker in
violating parliamentary law , republicans
xvill not complain. They have a right ,
Imxvovor , to demand that their own rep
resentatives shall attend to business and
refrain from entering into filibustering
combinations with any other party.
The critical s-tngo ot the legislative
session has boon reached. Less than
two xvceks remain before the expiration
of its constitutional life. In those txxo
weeks its record xvill bo made up , and
the falo of the several reforms earnestly
desired by the people xvill bo decided.
The opposition to those reforms Is coin
pact nndvoll organized. By devious
xvays and numerous tricks it xvill oa-
doavor to defeat the will of the people at
the last moment. There is ground for the
fear that it may succeed in dividing the
friends of reform and good governmcnt ,
and thereby achieving its ends by indi
rection.
In this situation the duty of tlio re
publican senators und representatives is
plain. It cannot bo dodged. Their
party platform committed thorn in spe
cific terms to a nuyamum freight laxv , a
stringent usury laxv , public xvarohousos ,
and the regulation of the poxvcrs of cor
porations. They should bo regularly in
their places to record their votes in
favor of those propositions , and to pre
vent tholr defeat hy illegitimate parlia
mentary tactics on Iho lloor and auto
cratic rulings from the chair.
Whatever the course of other parties
in the legislature , there is but one
cour.se for the republicans. That is to
steer by the chart xvhieh the republican
state convention placed in their hands.
THK purchase of lire department sun-
nlies has always been a source of schem
ing and dexvnright corruption. It is an
open secret that the agents of certain
hose fat-lories have always courted thu
favor of lire department ollicials xvith
xvays and-means that are nol commenda
ble. Asa natural result there has boon
scandalous jobbery and favoritism. It
is not material whether the purchases
are made by the police commission or
Iho city council , providing there is fall-
play and free competition.
Tin : exclusion ot wooden blocks from

xvays opposed wooden block pavements.
