24th. 1893. ob Citizen: Politicians are -ot as a rule very strict In their observance of the Sabbath. Most of your readers no doubt are well aware that in Topeka, during the session of the Legislature, a very large number of members do not, on Sunday, attend divine worship at the big church on Har- rison-st. Some do of course.

We would not have you understand that there are no Christian statesmen, for there are, "not many a few," as an ex-Senator would say. The majority of the members prefer to talk over the "situation" in the hotel lobbies. Some of the party leaders may, perhaps, have a little meeting in their rooms in the interest of their pet measures which must be passed, and in order to have passed, must be endorsed by a few other leaders. Sunday is a good day to attend to these matters. There is another class of members, Senators and Representatives, who prefer to spend Sunday in one of the few rooms where the legislative poker games are in progress.

Well, these things have always been regarded as the necessary evils of political life. The old party lead ers never went so far as to hold a public caucus or political meeting on Sunday. They have, however, received a pointer from the new party which may work a change in this matter. This pointer was given last Sunday night, when a Pop ulist mass meeting was held at Metro politan hall in the interest of the middle-of-the-road Populist candidates for U. S.

Senator. It wa3 announced on the street that a boy preacher from Alabama would lecture, and that the boy preacher was J. C. Manning, the youngest man in the Omaha convention, the individual who nominated J. B.

Weaver for the Presidency, and the man who accompanied General Weaver and Mrs. Lease on their Southern tour. Manning has the distinction of having been "egged" at every place which he spoke in Georgia. Very naturally a man with a reputation like his would draw crowd. The Populists Senators and Representatives were there.

Some of them were disappointed upon entering the hall to find that Mrs. Mary Lease was the presiding officer of the meeting, but they were not long in learning that it was a meeting such as only Mrs. Lease could arrange. The boy orator lectured. His lecture was a political harangue from the South ern standpoint.

That is what Speaker Dunsmore called it. He told his audi ence that four hundred and fifty thousand Southern Populists have their eyes on Kansas, and that the Kansas Populists must not betray their party by helping a Democrat into the United States Senate, Mrs. Lease is one of the Populists who hates Democrats. She would rather have her party defeated than to be vie torions with a Democratic leader. Her particular enemy at this time was Judge John Martin, who was conceded to be the fusion Democrat who would receive the Populist nomination for Senator.

The anti-Martin, anti-fusion Populists were prepared for this and had some resolu tions prepared for the occasion. Mrs. Lease had seen the resolutions and had approved them. She appointed G. Clemens, Rev.

W. G. Todd and W. n. Bennington a committee to report reso lutions.

The committee reported the resolutions, the meeting endorsed them and the result was the wind was taken out of the fusion boom. There is on the Republican side of the double House of Representatives a little group of four young men who have played a prominent part in the movements of their party this winter, will, no doubt, be often heard from in Kansas public life. They are by no means men without repntations. Each one of the four was a candidate for Speaker, but, of course, there was not Speakerships enough to go around. That prize was won oy George L.

Douglass, of Wichita, and his party made a wise choice in selecting him to that position He has thus far filled it with remarkable ability. He is the very man for the place, and while Wichita Populists are boasting of their Governor, Wichita Re publicans can with pride point to their Speaker. The second of this group is E. W. Hoch, of Marion, editor of the Marion Record, one of the staunch party papers of the State.

Hoch only lacked a few votes of being Speaker, and probably would have been chosen had it not been for the character of some of the politicians who were supposed to be his backers. As it was he was chosen Speaker pro and he and Douglass made a splendid team of presiding of fleers. The third member and, perhaps, the most artistic, certainly the most striking of the gronp, is that brilliant young orator from Wyandotte, J. Cubbison. Mr.

Cnbblson was third in the race for Speakership and was the temporary Speaker who presided on the Republican side after Secretary of State Osborne left Representative hall and be fore the organization was perfected. It was an important place to fill but he filled it to perfection. His quick move ments and his flashing eyes were equal to the occasion, and with the big walnut gavel he rapped the Republican side of the House into an organization before the Populists understood what was being done. Since the organization Cub- bison has been one of the most active members of the party "steering com mlttee." The other member of this gronp is a young lawyer who aspired to be Speaker but before his party caucus was called withdrew and his name was not presented, James A. Trontman.

He is one of the few "Christian statesmen" of the Legislature. Mr. Trontman is good parliamentarian and made as many motions as any half dozen other members during the organizing process. He is now serving as chairman on elections. The event of the legislative session in political circles is the election of United State Senator, which will not take place until after this letter is in the mails.

There are more political leaders of all parties in Topeka tonight than have been before for several years. Tomorrow at noon the balloting which will decide who shall succeed Bishop Perkins will begin. A vote was taken today but it was informal that is, it did not give any cine as to what would be done when the joint session convenes to morrow. If there was a Republican ma jority on joint ballot Joseph W. Ady would be the man, but that is not the case.

The Republicans cannot muster more than 79 votes, all told, and one of those, A. C. Sherman, of Shawnee-co would not vote for Ady. With the five Democratic votes, three In the House bination, as it requires just 83 votes to elect. The Republicans do not expect to elect Mr.

Ady, and their votes for him are only complimentary, as after the first or second ballot they will go to the Democratic candidate who will be agreed upon before tomorrow and elect him. The speculation is, who is the Democrat? Several have been talked off. Last week Bailey P. Waggener and A. A.

Harris, of Fort Scott, seemed to be the "only Democrats who would be in it. A few days have changed things, however. Tonight Col. Harris is hardly talked of seriously. Bailey Waggener is still in the front rank, but Is being pushed hard by Ed.

O'Bryan, the young Democratic State Senator from and Ed. Carroll, member of the last Senate from Leavenworth, while J. D. McCleverty, of Fort Scott, and J. B.

Watkins, of Lawrence, both want to be considered in the fight. In the Populists ranks there is no fusion, bnt there is confusion, and to night up to this hour the Populist cau cus has not been able to make a nomina tion. There is a multitude of candidates, but the fight is John Martin against the field. The middle-of-the-road Populists insist tnat tney will never vote for a Democrat. The vote in the Populist House was scattered among fourteen candidates.

John W. Breidentbal led with 19 votes, Frank Doster had 11, and M. W. Cobun, a farmer member of the House from had 11 votes John Martin, who had as high as 37 votes in the Populist caucus Monday night, received only 9 votes. His other strength is scattered among tea candi dates, who received a few votes each The chances are that the fusion element in the Populist ranks will receive a downfall and a middle-of-the-road man, possibly Cobun, the Barton-co.

farmer, will be the nominee. The way Speaker Dunsmore connts his House membership and with the 23 Populist Senators the Populist candidate will have more than a majority, but who will be seated, the Populist Senator or the Republican- Democratic combination senator, can only be settled by the United States Senate itself. Osage. MARTIN ELECTED SENATOR. The Populist State Senate (the Repub lican Senators did not participate) and the illegal Populist House had a joint convention Wednesday and elected John Martin, of Topeka, fusion Democrat, United States Senator to succeed B.

W. Perkins and to fill out the remaining two years of Preston B. Plumb's term. Mar tin had been nominated in the Populist caucus the night before. In the joint convention he received 86 votes and a few scattering votes were cast.

Eight or ten members of the Populist House who had been seated in the places of ousted Republicans voted in the joint convention. Of the members of both branches who were duly Issued election (a constitutional majority) voted in the joint convention, and Mar tin will maintain that his election is therefore valid. But Republicans insist that, not having received 83 votes of cer tificate-holding members his election is not constitutional. The U. S.

Senate it self will pass on the admission of Martin. We think he will be ultimately seated. In the joint convention the three Pop. Senators, the so-called independent Re publican Representative (Wilson), and one of the three Democratic Represen tatives who had acted with the Republl cans previously, took part in the joint convention, and this it was that destroyed the hopes of the Republicans to prevent a quorum in the fusion combi nation While the election of Martin is irregu lar, owing to the status of things in the House, we have little or no belief that the result can be successfully annulled or overturned. But the course of the Populist House is an outrage still, and the Senatorial election proceedings neither extenn ate its revolutionary action from the start nor strengthen its claim to legality.

FRISKY FARMER BEN. Many newspapers, in their reports of the suit which Mrs. Ben Clover has brought against her husband for divorce have stated that she received from Hon Jeremiah Simpson her first knowledge of the fair maid with the red slippers whose name has been mentioned conspicuously with that of Clover. But Jerry is not mixed up in the division of this house. As the Congressman from this (Third) district is, presumably, a person of sufficient note to justify public interest in his official and other doings, we copy the following letter from his wife: Editor Topeka Capital: I notice special from Washington concerning Congressman Clover and Hon.

Jerry Simpson. I want to say briefly, I have never received a line from Jerry Simpson in my life. The gay and festive pair might have been seen on most any day on excursions down the river to Marshall Hall or Colonial Island or the hurdle races or almost anywhere; but Mr Simpson did not write me abont it. In fact, the gay and gushing damsel of red slipper fame has been rusticating in Cowley-co. all through the campaign and since Congress adjourned, and could have been seen almost any fine day in the vicinity of Akron, red slippers and all.

But the red-sandaled lady does not figure in the bill of particulars. She is too insignificant for that. Now, I don'' want Jerry blamed for this. All honor to Congressman Simpson! He took his wife to Washington with him to enjoy the honors she helped him win, and did not leave him at home to do battle with the mortgage fiend, while he "a-court- ing went." The guilty fleeth when no roan writeth. Mrs.

S. Cloves, S. You may insert what I have written if you like. It is my first expres sion and possibly my last unless I am attacked, and then I am sure to fight back." George Martin aptly suggests that "ex Governor Chas. Robinson has become very harmless old scold." The Salina Herald, Democratic, ex presses great disappointment In Governor Lewelling and denounces his action.

It says "He was elected by the Democ racy of the State and he alone must be responsible to the 60,000 Democrats who supported him in his candidacy." The Herald has no right to squeal. When it supported Leweling it did not know him from a side of sole leather. G. W. Mar tin.

Undertakers' reports and vital statistics show that more people die In Kansas of consumption, pneumonia and typhoid fever than of any other ailments. tllUC.

our terms, but come to THE GOV. LEWELLING ON THE "SOCIAL COMPACT. The principal thing lacking In Gov. Lewelling's inaugural address was common sense and the next thing was patriotism. Unless the Government abolishes poverty, said Gov.

it falls short of its duty. And if the Government does not perform its duty, he asserted, then the citizen is absolved from the social compact. In short, what the Governor of Kansas says is that so long as poverty isn't wiped ont revolution is justified. Such proposition made at so solemn a time is unfortunate for Gov. Lewelling's reputation as well as for Kansas.

The idea that the nation is a compact to which every citizen Is supposed to give his consent and from which he can withdraw was long ago abandoned. Citizens have no more right to declare themselves absolved from the laws of the nation than they have to declare freed from the ties of the family. The people are born into citizenship. They are subject to its laws, not by virtue of a voluntary act on their part, bnt entirely above and beyond their will in the matter. They may lose their citizenship and still they are subject to what Gov.

Lewelling styles "compact" of government. The nation has an existence, an organic, personal life of Its own. Citizens are subject to it whether they will or no. They may make compacts but no one loves a compact, and no inorganic thing like a compact can be loved like a person or like a nation. Men do not surrender their lives for a compact, since a compact is made by the parties to it for their own sakes, and to give np their lives to it would be to defeat the object of it.

It is only, as Prof. Mulford in his celebrated book on the Nation said, when the nation is regarded as a personal organism that we can come to the idea of patriotism, a love of the nation for its own sake. Gov. Lewelling's patriotism is of a very inferior order if it permits him to say that the failure of the nation to make a man well-to-do absolves that man from his allegiance. Ex.

General Bidwell must not feel slighted because he failed to receive one of the electoral votes of North Dakota. The State is somewhat limited as yet, in res pect to its representation, and after giv ing one vote to Harrison, one to Cleve land and one to General Weaver, the supply gave out. For the present the Prohibitionists must be content to hold the bag. Travelers may learn a lesson from Mr. C.

Cone, a prominent attorney of Par ker, Dakota, who says "I never leave home withont taking a bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with me, and on many occasions have run with it to the relief of some sufferer and have never known it to fail." For sale by Pierce Bros. 2-5 Kate Field is still kicking because she lost money in the late Atchison boom. She quotes Senator Ingalls' remark that Atchison is to him the dearest spot on earth, and adds: "So is it to me. I was sold a lot there for which at auction brought $225, all it was worth according to the next day's paper." Kansas is the first State in which the Populists have gained control, and their conduct here is a warning to all other self-respecting States to keep out of their clutches.

The leaders in the Senate actually take the position that the views of a minority of a committee hare no right to go in the journal. Cleveland received 277 electoral votes, Harrison 145, and Weaver 22. The popular vote was 6,651,685 for Cleveland, 6,172,313 for Harrison, 1,010,600 for Weaver, 273,313 for BIdwell, and 21,171 for Wing (Socialist). Mr. Cleveland says he would like to know what the Democrats are in power for if it is not to repeal the McEinley law.

He conld soon find ont by granting interviews to "leading Democrats" from the various States. The two People's party postmasters are still active, voting members of the ramp House at Topeka, the same gang that enacted the farce of unseating four Republicans on the ground that they were postmasters when elected. No more Democratic electoral votes from Michigan.

Atchison Globe: When a lot of men get together at a State capital, and act foolish, are the newspapers warranted in printing not only accounts of the foolishness of the fools, but rumors of probable foolishness?

If Ben Rich and some more of Chase's friends in Topeka get their just dues he will have his "working force" largely increased. John Martin will, in all probability, be promptly seated as Senator. While his election is irregular, It beats no election at all, and under the conditions existing at Topeka the formalities had the coloring or features of law to a fuller extent than anything the Republicans are able to carry out. In 1891, during eleven months ending November SO of that year, the exports of corn to Cnba and the South American countries amounted in value to 165.

In 1892, daring the corresponding period, under Republican reciprocity, our exports of corn to the same countries amounted to $1,486,013. G. C. Clemens ought to be appointed Supreme Court Commissioner by Gov. Lewelling.

If the different "elements" in the People's party are entitled to con slderatien, on the Jeff Hudson theory, Clemens would be highly satisfactory to the anarchists. He is an experienced lawyer, though a fit representative of a class who don't believe in law. New Tork Sun (Democratic) What, in fact, have the Kansas Democrats got out of the fusion? They have pulled a lot of Populist chestnuts out of the fire, and they have weakened their own or ganization. "We want nothing more to do with your crowd," says the Hon Jerry Simpson. Mr.

Simpson can be as snred that the dislike is mutual. The messenger carrying the electoral vote of Kansas to Washington went there without credentials. Feller and Simpson attempted to vouch for him so that he might draw his mileage, but the treasury officials said vouching wouldn't go. Senator Peffer said: "The only thing left for us to do is to pay his way back to Kansas ourselves and trust to the State to reimburse him." The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says: "There was little accomplished in the Senate today except in the way of speeches. Senator Peffer, of Kansas, gave another install ment of his three days' old speech on the constitutional amendment to limit the tenure of the President's office to one As a means of emptying the Sen ate chamber it was a success.

The Populist rnmp House has expelled three men who have never recognized It and who sit with the legally organized Republican House, because they were postmasters on the day of the election They resigned and their successors took the postoffices off their hands before the legislative session But the Pop ulists have two members acting with their rump House who were not only postmasters on the day of election, but they are still postmasters, and no move has been made against them.

4-5 Connty POLITICS IN KANSAS. Victor Murdock in Chicago Inter-Ocean. "Wait minnte till I get a glass of water so that I will be able to lick this new Columbian stamp and I will talk to you." It was Colonel Solomon Bugg, of Kan sas, speaking, lie turned up alter a long absence yesterday at the Palmer house, with a bright acrobatic smile and a new aurora borealis necktie. "Missed me, eh? Been out in Kan sas watching the i'opunsts and, republicans wall up one onother over the greensward. They have a situation.

They always have. Why? Because it is in the air. "Dear old Kansas! There is no State like her. In all this broad, free, and untrammeled land there is no. domain that will blunder along light-heartedly and mistake auctioneers for statesmen like Kansas.

There is no people that has so little respect for the past and worship a hero so blindly for a little time. "You know Matthew Arnold once said that 'a thrill of which great men are supposed to inspire when lesser men come into their presence, was a good thing for nations. Yon won't find any of that in Kansas. Why, the average Kansas farmer, with blue clay in his whiskers and an odor of the dead past on his clothes, would walk into the presence of the Prince of Wales, lean his wot umbrella up against the throne and insist on shaking hands, with the same sang froid that he would slop the hogs. SANG FROID IK THE SUNFLOWER STATE.

"The average Kansan is a sangfroidist from Sangfroidville. Nothing delights the Kansas heart so much as to chase a little sang froid up a cottonwood tree and mash it between two shingles. "There's where the trouble was with Ingalls. He got to mixing too much sang froid in his politics. For, while the Jayhawker swears his own existence with sang froid, he won't stand It In auybody else.

Personally, the Kansan would not tremble before the biggest potentate on earth. I have frequently heard Dunkin, of Punkin, a State celeb rity, say that he cared no more for a King than be did for a seven spot. "Another strange thing Is that Kansas is always howling against demagogy, and no State in the Union is a greater sufferer from it. I know a young Republican in western Kansas who wanted to go to the State Senate. He lived in a purely agricultural district, but unluckily did not know the difference between a harvester and a hay-rick.

But this did not deter him. "Look, he said, 'if Jerry Simp son can sneak Into Congress with his impromptu grammar and damaged syn tax, I guess 1 can make my way to the State Senate. So here goes. "He worked tirelessly for three weeks He visited every Republican farmer in the district, and succeeded in making friends enough to secure him the nomination beyoud a doubt. The day of the convention came, Every aspirant, was allowed five minutes to talk in his own behalf.

Just before our friend arose, a red-headed aspirant for the same place, with parenthetical legs, got np and said SPEAKING OF AGRICULTURE. 'Gentlemen, I warn you. The man whom you are about to nominate is a fraud, who don't know enongh to squirt powder at a potato bug. I warn "The blood burned in the young man's veins. He arose to defend himself.

He did it by flattering the farmers and mentioning them by name. 'I have been all over this district, he Raid, 'and I speak with pride of your thriftiness. I have been at Friggs', and I speak the truth when I say that outside of Coyote-co. there is no such herd of Poland China heifers in the "A ripple of surprise ran through the andience. 'Look at Farmer Jones' Polled An gus he cried, undaunted.

'Look at Smith's Berkshire chickens! Look at Dobbins' Plymouth Rock At this point Dobbins arose, hurriedly left the hall, and was heard falling down three flights of stairs. The young man knew something was wrong. The audience was getting rest less. They were all in favor of him be forebut this talk. Was he a fraud? 'I point with he cried, gran diloquently, 'to the Early Rose apples that Farmer Tottles raised this "Farmer Tottles arose hurriedly and muttering something nnder his breath tried to crawl through the transom.

"I call the attention of the world to the maiden blush turnips that Farmer Andrews raised. Where, I ask, where is there anything to equal the Ben Davis potatoes, grown by our clear friend Bill "The Republicans were npset by this talk. Some left the hall, while others slid down in their chairs and blushed as red as a furnace on a dark night. "The red-headed man got up and 6aid sneeringly 'Haven't yon got something to say about machinery, 'Yes sir, I have sir. And I ask yon, sir, you who have the Impudence to interrupt me, sir, can you show, sir, in all this broad land, better farming Imple ments than you can find right here in Coyote-co?" WAS ELECTED JUST THE 8AM Ei "This glittering repartee evoked deep silence.

'Oh, my he continued, 'I can imagine, now, the happy sunlight, the yellow fields, the clack of the Singer reaper, and the musical buzz of the Wheeler Wilson threshing machine as "The convention arose as one man. It howled long and deep. Somebody yanked the speaker off the platform by his coat-tails, and somebody else named the bow-legged aspirant and they nominated him by acclamation. "Did the ignorant young man get a six-shooter and kill himself? Is he now sitting on the front stoop of the golden whence? Oh, no! The Alliance, the third party, held its convention six days after. He bolted the Republican party, and captured the nomination from the Populist 8, and was overwhelmingly elected three months later.

"That is the way It is in Kansas. Two years ago Governor Lewelling was making chattel loans at 200 per cent. in Wichita. Payments were bad, and he took some of his money and started a butter, eggs and baled hay emporium. Then the people of the Sunflower State who had been howling themselves hoarse over the cruel extortions of usurers turned in and made him Governor.

"When there is a kick to be made in this country, you will find the Kansan on deck with his boots newly half-soled. When they can't complain about the weather or the crops, they rummage around and discover that the country's going to smash that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer." Now that Abe Steinberger is out of the newspaper business, what will become of the "Abraham Lincoln Republican party" of the Third Congressional district? Howard Vourant. LECAL NOTICES.
