The prospects are that nearly every
county in the state will be represented
at the inauguration on January 9.
According to the time-honored sign
Kansas was snowy enough on Christina
to guarantee a healthy ensuing year.
Jerry Simpson arrived in the state on
Christmas day. The remainder of the
Kansas delegation are still in Washing
ton.
The Kansas City Journal says Cleve
land was elected by stay-at home repub
licans. Now the question is, what makes
republicans stay at home?
They say Bruce Lynch has come to be
a very good locomotive engineer again
since he quit politics. Next time he will
bejnore careful as to which ticket he
gats his name on.
There are more good country papers in
Kansas than any other state in the
union. Some of them have come out in
holiday editions that would do credit to
what are called metropolitan newspaper
offices.
The Topeka correspondents of the
Kansas City papers are putting in most
of their time speculating on the com
plexion of the next house and the
probable result of the senatorial eleo
tion. Their guesses are like lottery
tickets, very "onsartin."
It is not fair for the interviewers to
n,ake Mr. Ingalls talk on subjects he
knows nothing of. They ought to give
him a chance to get in touch with the
people before making him talk on the
coming senatorial contest in Kansas.
The ex-senator should confine himself to
bia lecture.
Seoititary of State Foster will resign
his cabinet position before going to Pans
as agent for the Untted States before the
Behring sea arbitrators, who meet Feb
rnary 23. He will probably find that
an easier position to occupy, and may
make a report of his work that will not
be so badly mixed as some of his recent
statements regarding the treasury.
How to Organize the Industrial Legion.
At the meeting of the Industrial
Legion of Shawnee county, on Saturday,
the 21th mat., a committee was appointed
to draft by-laws for the county organi
zation, and the following temporary
recommendations were adopted as an
indication of the proper method of pro
oedure in order to hasten the organiza
tion: 1. Each individual here present,
whether within or outside of the city
limits, pledges himself to commence at
once in his particular and immediate
neighborhood, precinct or locality, to
search out and draw together in a squad
of ten or more straight Populists. Let
these meet at some convenient point (a
private house, if no suitable publio place
of meeting can be obtained), and elect a
sergeant and corporal of the squad, as
required by the coistitution. At thf
time of election each member will pay tc
. the corporal their entrance fee of GO
cer4, except as provided in section 2 of
nrtiele V of the constitution, and 15 cents
dues for the hree months following. As
, toon as a squad ha elected officers, the
sergeant shall at once notify the nearest
tjjmpmy, county o: co.igrwional re
eiSirj? ctli:er of thu iinjaoizntic'': and

' "ciri& l&Ufa!tytP rphztion of a
nated to the place of meeting and muster
said squad as bona fide members of the
Industrial Legion; at the same time he
will make temporary assignments of said
squad to the nearest organized company.
The corporal of the squad, at the time of
muster, shall pay to the recruiting offi
cer, taking his receipt therefor, 50 cents
admission fee, and 15 cents dues for each
member mustered; the recruiting officer
shall pay over all money so received to
the quartermaster of his company or
county legion.
3. As soon as three er more squads
have been organized and mustered into
the Industrial Legion in the same voting
precinct, township, ward or city, then
said squads shall meet and organize a
company, by the election of a captain
lieutenant, adjutant, quartermaster, re
cruiting officer and sentinel.
4. Let each company thus formed unite
itself with from three to five companies
similarly formed within the limits of the
same ward or township, and create a
ward or township legion, which shall at
once proceed to elect officers as above.
5. Let each ward or township legion
thus formed then come together as soon
as practicable, and create city or county
legions, eto.
G. Annual dues of members of the In
dustrial Legion shall not exceed 5 cents
per month, as provided in the constitu
tion.
G. C. Clemens, general recruiting offi
cer for the Fourth congresssonal district,
will respond to calls for mustering squads
and companies, and he has also ap
pointed the following deputies, who will
attend to the organization in their imme
diate vicinity: A. M. Coleman, Meno
ken;J. R. Detwiler, North Topeka and
Soldier township; Wesley Davis, Rosa
ville;Paul LaVigne, Oakland. Other
deputies will be appointed as soon as we
have men in other localities to appoint.
Warden Case has mads his biennial
report for the years 1891 and 1892. The
appropriations for the penitentiary for
the two years amounted to $373,200.27.
The total earnings of the institution for
the two years amounted to $215,100.35.
The total amount expended during that
period was $297,409.47. The net cash
cost of the institution to the state dur
ing the two years was, therefore, $82,
219,12. When we deduct from this the
coal furnished to state institutions and
to the needy settlers in western Kansas
it will be found that the penitentiary is
about self sustaining. Leavenworth

Pertinent Questions.
The following after-election install
ment of philosophy from the Champion
of December 13 may have been the cause
of our lieutenant governor's recent spell
of sickness:
The career of such men as Gould,
Scott and Huntington renews the in
quiry: 'How much power is capital en
titled to wield in this country?' The
wealth honorably earned is a badge of
honor to any man, but there are far too
uany who bow their head to wealth
without pausing to inquire how it was
earned. It is certain that during the
past thirty years there have grown up
in our land certain conditions not ex
isting prior to I860. Has the nation
been out of its orbit as a republic? In
no other land could one man make so
many millions in the same period. Mr.
Gould did not make his money because
of the tariff. Was he the financial prod
igy of the world? Or did his wealth
com from peculiar social, financial and
political conditions of the United States?
'These are pertinent questions, and
certainly very serious ones. A few men
have grown very rich. Thousands have
fairly prospered and other thousands
have only barely held their own, while
millions are poorer now than they were
ten or twenty or thirty years am, And
these conditions do not apply to any
single state or section alone; they are
general from Maine to California. Throw
out all the shiftless, never-do-well peo
ple, and the fact etill remains. No conn
try has prospered like the American
republic. The cablegram in Sunday's
Champion told of the general business
depression and actual suffering in Great
Britain and Europe. What is the mat
ter? The question of how much power
capital is entitled to exercice is a very
serious one. It is idle to ignore it, and
suicide to surrender the problem wholly
to those who represent the evil itself."
McGlynn Beinstated.
Washington, D. C, December 23. The
famous case of Father McGlynn, of St.
Stephen's church, has finally been de
cided by the restoration to him of the
authority to perform his priestly func
tions.
The settlement of the case came within
the scene of the general power vested in
Mgr. Satolli, the papal legate, and the
decision was promulgated by him to-night
at the Catholic University, where he is
stopping.
McGlynn is the priest who was de
posed for expressing sentiments that
were obnoxious to the head of the
Catholic church. He is a believer ia the
Henry George theories, and is very
liberal in his religious views.
The Uproar in Europe.
The situation in France is certainly
serious, but it does not mean that the
Bonapartist, the Orleaniat or the Bou-
langist will profit by it. For sometime
past the people have been running that
country, and they are likely to continue
to run it
Some of their 'agents have evidently
been stealing, under the new flush of
power. It will go hard with them, but
it will not disenthrona the republic.
The faubourgs of Paris may break
loose, for they always like to do so. But
Paris is no longer France. The sad ex
perience of the commune settles tkat
There ought to be a dissolution and a
fair election from the people, for there
was never a constituent assembly. The
communities will take care of France,
and the army will help them to do so.
Whether in their duel Delourede and
Millevoye kill Clemenceau, or whether he
kills them, is a matter of no publio con
cern. Whether Kouvier is eons or De
Freycinet lives is equally unimportant.
The fall in the rents frightens no one.
France will take care of France; and it
will be a sorry day for any one who
seeks to interfere with her.
One reign of terror is enough. It ac
complished the purpose for whicn it was
created. There is no need of another.
The robbers will be thrust out. The
honest will go in. And France will still
hold the balance of power in Europe, as
she has always done. Cincinnati En

Where, oh! where is that 44 diabolical
scheme, such as had never entered the
brain of man before," that Dr. Macune
promised to give out to a waiting publio
in the last Economist! Echo answers,
where? It was simply another one of
his fakes for which he is getting so much
notoriety. Instead of Taubeneck, Wash
burn and others holding secret meet
ings to plot dire destruction of the
Alliance, they were formulating and per
fecting the plan of the Industrial Legion.
At the O.cala meeting this sainted Dr.
Macune and a few others met in secret
session and formulated the celebrated:
"Gideon's Band." Living in glass houses
and throwing stones is sometimes bad
policy. If this great man, persecuted
though he may be for righteousness sake,
can make his way clear to formulate a
"Gideon's Band" at a National Alliance
meeting, may not a few of the more
humble icaugurate an Industrial Legion?

Better Prices for Good Hors9S.
Kansas horsemen have suffered from
the depression of the horse markets and
the scarcity of money as much as the
armer.
As an index to future prices, it may be
mentioned that draft geldings are selling
at $150 to $200 in the Chicago markets.
This is a hopeful sign to the breeder and
horseman of better prices and ready
sales.
The widely-known Austin firm of im
porters and breeders, Emporia, reports
increased inquiries and a mere general
interest being manifested in securing
the best horseflesh. The inquiries are
mainly from Colorado and western Kan
sas. Now that people are realizing the use
and value of good blood and breeding,
and are looking about to find it, they
should consult with the Kansas breeders
and importers whose energy and capital
are invested among them, and whose
stock is equal to any in the country.
J. S. Cooper, commission salesman of
horses, Union stock yards, Chicago, says:
"There has been no change in the mar
ket during the past week. The demand
has been chiefly for small horses and
farm mares, and these sold fairly well
in fact, very well for the time of year.
Although the holidays are at hand there
is very little evidence of dullness, and
this week's business is fully up to the
general average of the past month. Im
mediately following the holidays there
will be a revival in trade, and all kinds
of horses will find ready sale at good
prices.''
