A presidential year always calls for a
close drawing of party lints. Issues 01
national importance are at stake am.
men cannot afford to throw away then
voice or vote. The coming election is
especially important. Its result will
decide whether-the reins of government
shall remain ih the bauds of a part
which has proved itself entirely incom
petent, or be given to that one whicl
carried the nation through peril and
embarrassment up to world-wide im
portance and unyielding stability. Thi
man who goes off on a tangent thit

is little better than imbecile. Fealtj

Ingalls Was Eight.
Considerable, lofty indignation oozes
out through the Democratic newspa
pers, because Senator ugalls said the
ex-confederacy was still an aggressive
force in our politics. The sad thing
about it is that the statement is true.
Take a look at the House of Repre
sentatives, presided over by a solid
Southern Democrat.
Of the fifty-three chairmanships,
thirty go to the south; and in the com
mittees with northern chairmen the
balance of power is preserved by giving
the south a large membership. The
details of this southern conspiracy
against northern opinions a-id interests
are interesting. The Ways and Means
committee originates and has charge
of all levenue bills; it controls taiiiT
legislation. It has thirteen members.
Its chairman, Roger Q. Mills, is from
Texas; live other members are from
ihe souih. with two other northern
Democrats on the committee. Com
mittee on Appropriation: fifteen mem
bers, Randall chairman, and the Dem
ocratic majority of nine, consists of live
southern and four northern members.
Judiciary committee: Culberson, of
Texas, chairman; fifteen members,
with five bouthem to three northern
Democrats. Committee on Coinage has
a southern chairman and five southern
members. River and Harbor commit
tee, seven southern Democrats includ
ing the chairman, and only two northern.
Educational committee has a Georgian
chairman Geotgia, in which the chain
gang bill for teachers almost became a
law aud five other southern Demo
erats to two northern. Committee on
Civil Service Reform (?) has a southern
chairman, and six other southern mem
bers. The foregoing rule is followed in all
i he important committees, but two or
tluee of them are most surprising. The
committee on naval affairs has for
chairman, Heibert, of Alabama, a no
torious Rebel leader in the war, with
five other southern Democrats, all o
whom presumably served in the llebe
armies. The committee on military
affairs was nanowly rescued from
Wheeler, the Rebel cavalry general of
ihe war, also from Alabama. Rut it
has three members who are ex-Rebel&
and who will do as good service as a
southern chairman would have
rendered. With Jeff Davis as Secreta
ry of W r, the south would bo well
prepared to institute the beginning of
.1 new rebellion.
The committee on pensions has a
norfliern chaiiman, but has among its
members congressmen from Missouri,
Florida, North Carolina, Alabama,
Georgia, and two from Mississippi.
That committee was evidently caivful
y packed, in view of the possibilities
f putting a rebel pension bill into
Congress, 'after the Presidential elec
on, next fall. Then comes the com
mittee on War Claims, with a southern
chairman, well supporttd by other
southern numbers.
There is also a ludicrous side to these
egregios assignments. The commit
te.e on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
ii.in Dunn, an Arkansas back-woodsman,
for chairman, who probably
never saw salt water, except on little
excursions out from Washington, and
whose knowledge of the piscatorial in
terests of the country is based upon
his experience with the festive cat
fish of his native rivers.
This includes but one branch of the
government, and alone it fully justifies
all Senator Ingalls said, when we" re
member that", as in the days of Dough
facism before the war, every Northern
Democrat on these committees is sim
ply the bumble, pliant tool of his
Southern superior. The North has
been stripped ol Legislative power, as
was the case in 1860, when the fleets
and army of the country were scattered
to all parts of ther world except where
they were wanted, while the rebel cab
inet of Buchanan was preparing for the
se ision of the South.

A large majority of the people of
Kansas, irrespective of politics, aie de
tei mined that saloons shall be driven
out of the State, and be relegated
among the barbarous customs and
vicious laws of the past. The politi
cian that can see thiee inches befoie
his imse should begin to learn this fact.
Eldorado Democrat.
There is now and then a Democrat
who has the good sense and moral
courage to tell the truth about the
effect of prohibition in Kansas, and it
affords us great pleasure to give the
Eldorado Democrat the praise justly
due it for the above manly, patriotic,
and truthful statements coucerning the
public sentiment against saloons in
Kansas.
The Republicans of Kansas took the
position ten yt ars ago which the Dem
ocrat seems to have just reached. We
have tried for the last decade to induce
the Dt mocratic party to break away
fiom the "baibarous customs and
vicious laws ot the past," and assist us
in driving the saloons out of the State.
That the Republican party has been
successful in educating the people up
to this true standard of temperance,
has been conceded for a number of
years by evuy politician wno coum
''see three inches before his nose," and
there is no longer any respectable ele
ment in the Republican party which
advocates the cause of the saloons, or
which is in favor of a resubmission of the-
prohibitory amendment to the constitu
tion. In fact the Republicans of Kan
sas are practically a unit upon the
proposiiion that "saloons shall be
driven out of the State aud bo relegated
among the barbarous customs and
vicious laws of the past," and nothing
is more gratifying to us than to see
our Democratic friends one by onecour
verted to the true faith.
The Gazette, fr want of something
to fill its columns, quotes a slur at the
IIeflectou from the Manhattan Na
tionalist. By a little search and the
very dextrous use of the scissors, our
contemporary can possibly find some
otliGr lopsided, long-eared animal whose
braying at the Reflector may tickle
the jealous bone of the Gazette.
There is no conceivable reason why
any political party should oppose a law
for the protection of the ballot. Yet
a bill in the New .York Legislature,
the object of which is to prevent fraud
in elections, met with the united
opposition of the Democrats.
An enthusiastic Farmers Trust meet
ing held at Meridan, JeuVrsnn county,
this State, on last Saturday, was ad
dressed by Major J. K. Hudson, of
Topeka. It is a very backward spring
when the Major is not able to make the
farmers believe that he knows all
about planting corn and sowiug oats
(theoretically and politically).
The Fort Wayne Gazette says:
"There is a disposition on the part of
some papers which are ardent advo
cates of General Harrison to copy into
their columns every trivial statement
made derogatory to Judge Gresham.
This is a disposition which has nol
been exhibited by Judge Giesham's
friends, though many of them are be
coming somewhat heated about it, and
have abundant means of retaliation if
they wish to use them. It will be web
if such a disposition be held in check
entirely."
The New York Press puts it thus:
"And so the Halstead idea is thai
Judge Gresham should be punished be
cause he was a friend of General Grant.
If that is the spirit in wh ch ceitain
gentlemen propose to enter the next
campaign, the chances of Republican
success would be very slim indeed
Judge Gresham certainly had a right
to favor General Grant. He was one
of Grant's able generals during tin
war, and stood by him when the penol
Mu rat Halstead was daily employed in
assailing Grant."
The triumph of Democracy again in
Louisiana is easily accounted for. Be
fore the campaign opened, Gov. Mc
Enery promised that there should be
an honest election and a fair count.
But Mr. McEnery's good resolutions
were all forgotten before the election,
and in a speech at Sbreveport begotoff
this extraordinary threat: "While 1
propose no aggression against the rights
of any man, yet before this government
shall pass again under the domination
of ignorance and vice I would wrap this
State in revolution from the Arkansas
line to the Gulf." 'ibese words com
incfrom the Chief Execntive of the
State, are significant. The first dem
onstration of intended fraud was the
appointment of all the judges of elec
tion in the city of New Orleans from
the ranks of the Democrats. This is
in direct violation of the statutes of
the State, and could only have been at
tempted by a rascal who was trying to
j prevent an "honest election and a fair
count." In speaking of the election
Mr. Henri Waterson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, says: "I should be
entitled to no respect or credit if I pre
tended that there is either a fair poll or
count of the vast overflow of black
votes in States where there is a negro
majority, or that in the nature'of thingt
at ptwtort &e-i cm bt."
The speech of Hon. Wm. D. Kelley
on the Mills Tariff bill was a complete
exposition of the evil effects that
would result from the bill becoming a
law. His remarks upon the influenct
which the "whisky ring" has over the
free-trader are very pointed. Amonj.
other things he said :
The politics of this country are now
dominated by the whisky trust as abso
lutely as they were by slavery belou
the war, and King Alcohol is proving
that he is as hostile to natural develop
ment as King Cotton ever was., Ha
ing devoted the years of my vigorous
manhood to the overthrow of the polit
ical influence of the slave oligarch,
i intend to devote my declining yean
to the emancipation ot its political
affairs from the fatal embrace of tin
subject of the most, fruitful source ol
poverty, ignorance, vice, crime, disease,
insanity and ignominious death, known
to the civilization of the nineteenth
century.
Judge Kelley then showed how com
pletely Kentucky is controlled by the
whisky ring.
In the midst of almost unparalleled
wealth and general physical advan
tages, the mags of her people are
steeped in poverty and illiteracy, and
are strangers not only to the comforts
of humble life, but to the commonest
and most absolute daily necessaries ol
Noril ern-lahoiers. In 1890, the mini
In r of her people above 10 years of age
reported by the census as unable t
read or write were more than one-h;if
her population. That number was 1506
578. while her total population was
1,103.493. Correspondence and per
sonal intercourse with intelligent gen
tlemen durinsr the last four mouths
have convince 1 me that our internal
revenue system has accomplished tin
establishment m Kentucky of a des
potism whose power is as absolute, ami
whose theories of government, so fai
a the duty of preventing tho develop
ment of the mining and manufacturing
possibilities, and the diversification of
the agricultural industries of Kentucky
are concerned, arc as effective as those
J oflving Cotton in the legitimate cotton
states ol the old boutn.
In conclusion, tho facts I have pre
sented show that it was by the pio-
visions of the law imposing taxes on
distilled spirits that the "whisky trust"
was called into existence and enabled
to accomplish the revival of the despot
ism which pervaded the Southern stats
before the war. and that the power of
this trust and the combinations of
Democratic politicians and Ahe bank
ing influence, of Kentucky can be
brken only by the repeal of the inter
nal revenue taxes, the perpetuation of
which is the issue presented to the
American people by the President in
his "free trade message, and by the five
Southern gentlemen who have domi
nated the muiicils of the committee on
Ways and Means and submitted this
bill to the house for consideration.
The term "mugwump" will pass into
innocuous desuetude as a party name
with the defeat next fall of Mr. Cleve
land for violating his civil-service and
one-term promises. Rut the word can
be rescued from oblivion by being used
to designate malt driukers from alA
holic drinkers viz: Mugwumps and
jugwumps. So, too, the "drys" might
be known as waterwumps. Thus the
three grand divisions of drinkers would
be described intelligently.
The platform of the State Temper
ance Convention, of Alabama, contains
many excellent and commendable
principles. The platform declares al
legiance to Almighty God, opposition
to the sale and manufacture of intoxi
cating liquors and to all forms jif
license, demands a repeal of the inter
nal revenue license laws; requires that
saloon keepers and others respect the
Sabbath; favor,residence of twenty-one
yeais for foreigners before voting; de
nies being an ally of any other polit
ical party, and invites the co-operation
of all temperance people.
If the Republicans of the Fifth Dis
trict want Albert Grifllu to go to Chi
cago they had better attend to the mat
ter at the Clay Center convention. If
the Republicans of this district depend
on his being one of the lucky ones at
the Wichita convention they, and he
too, will get left. We know what we
are talking about. Junction City Re
publican. The democratic doctrine for revenue
only, among other false theories, as
sumes that the greatest desideratum is
the privilege of buying where you can
buy cheapest. If we ali, at all times,
had an unfailing supply of the means
with which to purchase, and it needed
no exertion of our own to supply our
wants, this might be so. But the truth
is the great mass of the people live
upon the proceeds of their daily labor,
and no matter how abundant and cheap
the necessaries of life are, as soon as
they are out of employment, their
means of purchasing is gone. Unless
they can market their labor daily, the.)
can not buy at any price.
During the various commercial crises
in tb4s country, crowds of unemployed
men assembled in our cities demand
ing work and clamoring for bread.
The riots of Pittsburg, Chicago and
San Francisco were not on account ol
the cost of living. Bread was quite as
cheap then as it is now. The trouble
was not tha.t the necessitiesof life were
too dear, but that there was no suffi
cient demand for labor. When labor
the laboring man is enabled to supply
himself with the necessaries of life.
