It Is said that Voorhees Is Jealous o

The New York legislature has decided
that the "stars nnd stripes" Is a good
enough binner to wave over any public
building In that state.
Tho remarkable thing about the nomi
nation of Luclen Baker ! thp fact that
it pleases both the Kansas people nnd
Colonel D. It. Anthony.
Chicago Is to have .i new faur-mllllon-dollar
postofllce. This Is about one dol
lar for each complaint that has been
made against the old one.
It Is rarely that a strike Is worth
what it costs the workingmen, and when
violence Is used It Is never worth a
tenth what It costs the public.
'Hell and How to Get There" Is the
title of a new book. It Is tathei early
in the ear to begin fending out Immi

Bill Cook has been arraigned for trial
The chances that William will spend the

will be equally pleased two venrs henca

man out of a Job.
The outcome of the senatorial contest
at Topeka seems to have been satis
factory not only to tho contestants, but
to everybod else. No complaint comes
from any quarter.
The proposition of Kanas City sa
loonkeepers to abolish the fteo lunch
will meet the approbation of everybody
except their own pations. The tem

Eastern people who are sending Oov

Kansas City's cattle receipts jester

St. I.ouls and Omaha together. Wheat

double those at St Louis.
A Democratic contemporarj sneeis at
the late Republican secretary of the

Eecretary of tho treasury who bank

It Is said that l.uclen Baker, like Con-gressmitn-at-large
George T. Anthon,
never permits his picture to appear In
the newspapers, This is evidence of a
little crankiness, but It Is of the harm
Jess sort and will not bo used as grounds
for Impeachment.
As If to make amends for the past two
ears, Kanss ts putting forward onb Its
very best material for public office The

him by surprise and ho remarked: "I

THE OA1I fllinil'MTV,
We suppose most of our renders saw
and pei used the ncoount printed In the
Journal tho other day about the Zoar
community In Ohio. Ai we lead over the
storj of the Brookl n strike and jestcr
dny morning also of the strike nt the
Kansas City workhouse rock pile, we
thought of the story of these Zoirites.
There has never been a strike among
them In all the spont.v -seven jcars
since the settled In the woods of Tus
carawas count.
Yv e ate not about to advocate social
ism, communism, or an thing of the
soit, but only to call attention to a very
significant fact In the social economy of
such people. It is ifemonstrated that it
is possible for people to get the maxi
mum of comfoit out of the minimum
of work. This fact stands out Hist In the
history of all these communities that
while they last they provide the high
est ph slcal comfort, and --oelal peace
of an ct tried conditions of civilized
life. In this countiy the Zoailteo, tho
Rappites, the Oneld i communlt, the
Mennonites, tho Shakers, tho Mormons,
and other.s Thee communities ate
mostl held together by a religious bond,
but not all for the Oneida community
had no lellglon to speak of et they
weio pre-eminently prosperous In ma
terial things.
The geneial or economic fact under
ling nil was associated labor for the
benefit of all You may go over all of
them to-da, and poverty, hunger, vice
and crime are unknown among them.
They are singularly free from the opeia
tlon of our criminal statutes, and In the
comforts of life housing, clothing,
abundant and heilthtul food, peisonal
cleanliness, sanitary condition and mor
allt, they will lead always nnd every
where the coi responding conditions
about them.
This fact cannot but have Its Influ
ence on the social thought of tho fut
uie, and It is almost every jear that
we lead of like eperlments In agita
tion and enibrjo. Utopia Is possible in
degree by the demonstration of these ex
pet intents we have named. The Moimon
accomplishment In Utah Is tho most con
spicuous evimplo of associated effort.
The Shaker lllages are equillv success
ful, nnd as Mormonlsm and hhakerlsm
ate radical opposltes In ethical condi
tions, tho atgument of their example Is
the stronger from the economic side. The
only obstacle to tho success of these
conditions on a larger scale Is tho want
of self-contiol In larger masses of men.
In these expel lini-nts tho bond seems
to be a common belief nnd a selected
leader and exponent of that belief. They
nre most successful during the lifetime
nt such leadeis, nnd were they equal to
the same recognition of a successor that
was given tho foundir, they would be
come not only permanent, but of wider
following.
The one problem of the future In these
conditions is this capability of continued
devotion to tho Idea of tho system. As
It Is only the means to maintain by suc
cession a demonstrated temporary suc
cess, who can siy It may not be real
ized" Bike Inventions In mechanics,
they may grow by Improved adaptations.
Tho fact Is there we do not discuss It
only state It.
mu,i:m.i; iNMittr-. iiei-evt.
The labor problem will never be set
tled by violence, When It comes to an
appeal to physical might theie can ho
but one outcome of a dispute, and that
Is falluie on the part of the aggressor,
Tho grievance from which the violence
grows has nothing to do with the neces
sity for thw enforcement of laws for tho
protection of life and property.
The dlstui banco in liiookljn can be no
exception to the rule. In tho considera
tion of this phusu of the btiike question
It Is unnecessar to discuss tho matter
of compensation forlabot, nor the exact-
Ing demands of capital The one object
of all efforts for tho enforcement of law
Is the restoration of the security of
the rights of the public and the safet
of the property menaced
In tho necessity for tho adoption of
armed measures to accomplish this end
the striking wage earner Is the loser In
the sjmpathy of the genera) public
A resort to violence for tho settlement
uf labor disputes, as well as all other
economic contentions, is always as un
wise as It Is unlawful. At the pres
ent t i e, when every Industrial dis
turbance can but add to tho timid state
of capital, and the unhappy condition
of labor, strikes are little less than
criminal They are not only a menace
to the general welfare, but are an actual
Interference with the first rights of mul
titudes whi nre ctruggllhg to obtain the
bare ne itles of life.
In the crowded centers of Indtislrj
the Individual who hns work nt nnv
price v "Iders himself lit great good
fortnnr ns he comes In contact with the
thousihds who can get nothing to do nt
nny prlie. To add to tho hesltnnry ot
cnpll.il and nt the same time Mlmtil.ite
the foiilng of dissatisfaction nnd unrest
that lurks everywhere Is hot only to en
danger the safety of pioprty, but the
iii'tltutlon of government Itself.
We nto surrounded by conditions
which make It tho duty of every mem
ber of society to bear nil burdens of
common responsibility to the utmost
limit of endurance. Por violence there
Is no excuse whatever.

The Interview' with the new BccordT
of Voters 11, C. Arnold given In the
Journal yesterday morning hns the
llivor of a breero of pure prairie air.
Ho s.i.vs that to carry out his views of
nn honest election he "will need the sup
port of the pi ess nml the public." His
platfoun Is that on which the Journal
hns ntvvhVB stood and he shnll have Its
suppott In cairylng It out from first to
last and nil nlong the line. An rogues
nre ever rendy to turn over vheli they
Imc- to, the newspapers defending the
Infamous methods of the past will ho
vety vlituotis now, when they can't use
the otHce.
The championship of the villainies of
that olllce by certain newspapers has
been even a worse disgrace to Kansas
City than the poor wretches who sold
their manhood and oaths to the gang
Mi. Arnold Is n Democrat that till mn
can stand hv.
Kansas hns made no appeal to the out
side world for "aid" this winter, yet car
loads of ptovlslons and clothing are ar
riving eveiv few days from the East
for the lellef of "Kansas suffeiers" The
Eastern people have piobably got Kan
sas and Nebraska mixed In their minds.
Or possibly the calamity howls of the
Populists hate ci cited the Impression
abio.id that the whol" state Is on the
verge of stnivatlon. Tho East doesn't
understand that the Populist who howls
the most dismally and lugubilously is
generally a piosperous farmer who hap
pens to have political ambitions, or else
an Irresponsible blatherskite howling on
a salaiy. True, theio was a partial crop
falluie In Kansas last jear, but the
people are In good condition and feel
amply nble to iclleve nny distress that
may make Itself known. The kind East
ern contributor are under a misappre
hension. Tho Missouri legislature proposes to
make train robbing a capital olConse.
Such a law may possibly lessen the
number of robbeiles, but It Is llkelj to
have the effect of causing lobbcts to be
come more reckless In their work. If
they are to be hanged anyhow when
caught, they might ns well make sure
woik b killing engineers, conductors,
e.xpre-'s messengeis and any passengers
who may happen In tho way. The pro
posed law evidently has Its diawbacks
as well as good points
LUCIEN BAKER.
Leav enwoi th Times. As state senator,
Mr. Bakei has been moie than a credit
to his constituent As a member of
the uppei house of congress he will bo
an honoi tu the statu he represents.
Taking all things Into consideration,
not one single lault can be found with
tho Itepubllcan patty for deciding on
Mr. Baker to be senator. He Is a man of
whom we can all bo pioud and his elec
tion makes the itepubllcan party an or
ganisation uf which we can, also, all
be pioud Xo wlte-pulllng, trickery,
btlber, can be associated with his elec
tion. It not only shows that K m-as Is
ledeemed, but that something vety much
like leden.ptliin has taken place within
the tanks of the Itepubllcan pnity.
Xo one will eci have Just cuie to re
gret that Luclen Bakei, of I.eaven
v.orth, Is to be tho successor of John
Martin In tho United States senate.
Topeka Capital: Senatot Baker has not
alwavs subscribed to the full platform
of Kansas Republicanism, and when this
Is said all ts said that may be utteied
against him. He Is a Republican on
ever national Issue from conviction and
life-long association As a senator in
tho state legislature during the last ses
sion ho was a tower of strength to the
Republican minority, and In the Judg
ment of the Capital and many other
Kansas Republicans It is not the least
leason for the conlldenco felt in him by
the Republicans of the legislature that
he excited the animosity of the Populists
In n greater degtee than an other mem
ber of the last legislature As n lawjer
he Is one of the leaders of tho Kansas
bai, and has been for many jenrs ono
of the most sticessful prnctltloneis In
the state. 'While tint an oratoi, he Is a
leady, lluent, foiceful speaker who will
command respect In any forum. In per
sonal character he Is incorruptible, reso
lute and Independent, and he will go to
the senate without any strings tied to
him

By Danuer BeEitlatlng the counting ot
ballots and determining the result of elec

of milk and butter and providing for tho
appointment of a dairy comml-loner.
It had evidently been decided on tho
Populist side not to attempt to break up
any more Joint sessions which are provided
for by the constitution of the United
States law, for Senator Householder's
motion to adopt the house resolution pro
viding for a Joint session to elect a sena
tor was ctrrled without a dissenting voice.
The senate adopted the house resolution
providing that the two car loads of goods
contributed to the needs of settlers In
Western Kansas and now In the hands of
tho governor he turned over to the
board of railroad commissioners for dis
tribution. A house resolution favorable to the elec
tion of United States senators by a direct
vote of the people was also adopted.
The committee on education reported fa
vorably upon a bill providing for i dliect
state nnd county tax for the support of
the public schools
Senator Scott submitted the protest
from the Republican si,o in the mattei
of the senate's refusal to spread the pro
cetdlngs of the state printer Joint session
upon the records, and Senator Dennlson
moved that the protest be denied a plnco
In the state Journnl. This motion was
continued by consent for discussion.
Senator benn called up his Joint reso
lution which Is as follows-
"Bo It resolved, That, wheieas the pre
llctlons and assertions of the believers of
the single gold standard have proved a de
lusion and a snare; that since then condi
tions have grown worse, there being more
Idle men, lower wages and lower nrlces for
all products than ever, that the situation in
our country is now serious, there being nt
this time S.000 armed men stnndlng onno.ed
to 20 000 people, prompt and efficient action
ought to bo taken to bring relief; there
fore, be It
"Resolved, That our conuressmen nnd
senators In Washington be earnestly le
quested to use every effort In their power
to prevent the Issuance of any more Interest-bearing
bonds, and for the restora
tlon of sliver to the position It nlwas oc
cupied as a money metal before It was sur
reptitiously demonetized by tho European
money power, and, further, that a copy of
these resolutions be placed In the hands of
each eenator ana representative In con
gress "
Senator Brown Introduced the following
as a substitute for the foregoing:
"Resolved. That we are opposed to the
Issuance of bonds In times of peace, and are
In favor of such legislation ns will pro
cure the largest circulation of gol 1 and
sliver which can be maintained at a parity
one with the other."
In support of his eubstltute Senator
Brown said that while there wero some
things In Senator Senn's resolution that
ho might ote for, he could not swallow
the whole doje
Senator Thacher said that he was not
willing to place himself on record ns vot
ing that congress was surreptitiously pass
ing any legislation.
Senator Dennlson said that all records
agreed that tho demonetization of silver
was accomplished surreptitiously.
Senator Danner replied that he had re
cently read the Congressional Recotd on
this demonetization question. So far from
having been accomplished without the full
knowledge nnd understanding of congress,
It had been under discussion In three con
gresses, and this talk of surreptltlousness
was simply balderdash, and as bad, or
worse, than that other rot about the Eu
ropean money power.
Senator Parker said that this resolution
was more in the nature of a Populist stump
speech than of a Berlous nttempt to get
congress to do something on the money
question The bill demonetizing silver
which the gentleman said was surreptl
tlously passed had been printed and amend
ed thirteen different times, discussed for
days, passed upon hy committees, and fin
ally debated thoroughly upon the fioor of
the house.
Senator Senn Insisted that the Congres
sional Record did not know what It was
talking about, and that congress really was
Ignorant of what It was voting upon
Senator Shearer spoke to the "European
money power" and quoted Ernest Sed as
saying that he had tilled his pockets with
Bittlsh gold and come to the United States
and Influenced congress to demonetize sil
ver Senator Danner replied that the records
showed that Earnest Sed was not In the
United States at the time silver was de
monetized or under consideration.
Senator Forney said that James G.
Blaine's book was his authority for the
statement that Mr, Seyd was here at that
time.
Senator Parker demanded to know on
what page of his work James G, Blaine
had made such an assertion,, and Senator
Porney promised to lok It up and report to
the senate.
Senator Brown's substitute was lost by a
party vote, and tho original resolution
ped as hre printed In spite of the pro
test of Senalor Brown that It needed a lit
tle rhetorical dressing up to become a mas
terpiece In the English language
The president nnnauneed that high twelve,
had nrrlved nnd It w.is the duty of the sen
ate to proceed to billot on Pnlted 8ta.es

made, nnd the billot resulted as follow!

The 1'nliit nt Issue In it t.lfe Insnriiitn
Case.
In Judce Scnrrltt's court esterdiy the
suit of Mrs. Mnrv A. Logan against the
Fidelity and Casualty Compan of New
York to recovei Judgment on a life Insur
ance policy, went lo trial before a Jurj .
Tho policy was upon the life of her son,
William E. Logan, former! a grlpinan for
the Metropolitan Street Railway Company
of this clt. Logan had domestic troubles
during which there were unsuccessful di
vorce proceedings In the circuit court, lie
then left his home In this clt nnd a few
da s liter wn found lIng on a railroad
track neur Plattsburg, .Mo, with a hand
kerchief bound around his head and a
bullet hole through his brain. There was
n mjstery nbout the dtnth The theories of
murder and suicide were, both held by
manv people and this Is tlu: question upon
which the cas(. now being tried In court
hinge, ns the defendant compan does not
pay policies upon tho lives of suicides. It
Is contesting the present pollcv on the
grounds that Logan killed hlmseir. The
defendant's attorne s claim that Logan he
came desperate over his domestic troubles
nnd that he tied the 'kerchief about his
head and then fired the bullet, whlcn was
from a bull dog revolver, which wns found
llng at his side. This was on the morn
ing ot December IS, 1503 The amount of
the policy In conte-t Is 3,Ma.
Among the witnesses present In the court
room estcrday to testify In the case were
Judge W. II, Lions, Dr. W E Desmond,
Deputy Sheriff George Br ant and Editor
Connolly Herrlngton, nil of riattburg.
lUue Dlsinlssid tho Case.
The suit of P. D. Etue against George F
Billlngnl and Horace Plemlng and others
to recover a Judgment of 11,000 was dis
missed In the circuit court by the plaintiff
jesterday. The plaintiff claimed that the
defendants contracted to defend nnd secure
the acquittal of his son, C. D. Etue, who
was held on the charge of murder for the
shooting of Anton Shuch in a Twelfth
street lesort two years and a half ago.
He claimed they did not do so, but merely
fixed things so that the grand Jury did not
Indict him. But the next grand Jury
brought In an indictment nnd oung Etue
Is now said to be In Europe. Ills father
claimed he had paid for having him ac
quitted and as he was not ncqultted he
wanted his $1,000 back The defense claimed
that there was nothing In the agreement
about acquittal, that the money was slmp
1 used for attorne 's fees and court costs.
Theie has been considerable litigation over
the matter, but this Is probably the last
of It In the circuit court
Pound f"r the Plaintiff.
In Judge Scnrrltt's court estcrday the
suit of George P Jones against A. D.
Chappell resulted In a finding for the de
fendant upon a counter claim The verdict
was for $123 37 which the defendant claimed
due him for siiary over nnd abovo what
the plaintiff claimed from him. Chappell,
who now lives In St. Lout, formerly trav
eled tor the plaintiff, Eelllng oil, but quit
and went to travel for a rival concern and
the litigation which has been bitter result
ed over unsettled accounts on which tho
two disagreed.
