THE FUTURE OF POLITICS.

No one is wi6e enough to forecast with much certainty what the public judgment will finally be as regards the many questions now pending in the high court of politics. No doubt many prominent politicians are destined to ooddle strange bedfellows in the near future. But if changes are made from pure motives and a sincere belief that, it will be best for the country, no reasonable man can condemn the changes. It is undoubtedly true that for along time many Republicans have been uneasy under the high tariff notions of their party, and they have retained their position in the party only because they feared dangerous legislation on other subjects if the Democratic party should control the government. On the other hand, thousands of Democrats, especial lv in some of the Southern States, have remained with the Democratic party because they feared the Republican party's action on the negro question. What the strength of the two parties—Protectionists and Free Traders—would be if there were no disturbing influences at work, it seems to us could be easily foretold. Bnt the disturbing element of side issues makes prophecy an uncertain bnsiness, and destroys the reputation of many political soothsayers. And then there are other elements that disturb political compaigns besides side issues. A fljod of emigration a year before an election or the absence thereof may change the result of a campaign. One thing, how ever, may be depended on, and that is, if the Democratic party, now about to take possession of the government, should really inaugurate the policy of free trade, as announced in the Chisago platform, and suffer the country to be flooded with cheap and inferior goodE from foreign mills and factories, and thereby cause a stagnation in our home industries and the loss of employment on the part of their operatives, such results would be as disastrous to the

Democratic party as to the prosperity of the country. The really great men of our conntry have nearly all been strong advocates of protection, and believe in the notion that we should have our OWE mills and factories, and make our own goods and wares. The impress that has been made by the teachings of these men is not going to be easily wiped out. Hamilton's powerful and unanswerable arguments in favor of home industries, and the writings of Madison, Jefferson and Jackson, and no less powerful the speeches of Clay, Webster, and Blaine will yet be read and pondered by the American people. Our manufacturing industries may prosper under Democratic low tariff polioy and if they should all will be well. The arguments of our greatest statesmen will have been overthrown by experience. But the wisest are not able to see how we can supply our demands for manufacturers from abroad, without ceasing to patronize our own industries, nor how our laboring people oan be brought into a direct com petition with the cheap labor of the old world, thut will not result in lessening the wages of the latter. These things may be possible but no one can figure out on paper just how they can be done.

And the money question! How many strange bedfellows that is destined to make. The South and the West against the East. Both Democrats and Repub licans from the latter section are opposed to the single gold standard, while nearly all the eastern States favor the gold standard. The whole controversy must simmer down at last to the simple question of a mono-metalic, or a bi metolic currency. This question could perhaps be rationally settled in a few days by adopting a new ratio of value bstweon gold and silver dollars, so^as to keep the two kinds of dollars at a parity

But neither side will consent to this The one side is bent on the single gold standard, and the other on bi-metalism with the ratio of 15J to one, as the law now provides, and neither side seems disposed to yield an inch by way of compromise. 1'he result is in the future but it is evident from late occurrences that for some time there are to be no well defined party lines. The call of ayes and nays will show an unusual mixture of Democratic and Republican voteB in the two lieta.

DESPITE

the frantic protestations of

the pirates of the Clarkson class and the Chinese thunder of Bate, Harris and a few other of the representatives of the paleozoic period of statesmanship, Judge Jackson's confirmation was unanimous. This is well. A Republican President has placed a Democrat on the Supreme Bench. Now let the incoming Democratic President reciprocate by patting a Republican in that tribunal when the next vacancy occurs.

A BAD LOT.

An Old Montgomery Oounty Oitzen Scores the Anarchists of Bleeding Kansas. To the Editor the Journal.

TOPEKA,

Kansas., Feb. 20, 1893.—

Noticing in the columns of the 18th inst. of the WEEKLY JOURXAI, an account of the warfare in Kansas and the cause as given, allow me as a resident of the capital city and one who has participated in the defending of the legal Hou6e of Representatives, to make a plain statement of the causes and results of the recent trouble in "bleeding" Kansas. The State canvassing board consisted of Republicans with the exception of the Attorney-general, who was a Populist. When the canvass of the vote was made of the members of the House of Representatives, the members of the board invited the chairmen of the State cen tral committees of the Populist and Dimocratic parties to be presetit, which invitation was accepted. The only case of a tie vote was between a'PopuliBt and a ReprWioan, which wan decided in the regular way of drawing by lot, in favor of the Republican members.

The certified list of the 125 members of the House of Representatives sent in by the Secretary of State consisted of one Independent, 3 Democrats, 58 Populists, and 63 Republicans, which gave the Republicans tho majority of votes. At the attempted organization of the House the Independent and Democrats voted with the Republicans thus giving the Republicans 67 out of 125 Representatives. The Populists immediately set about to change this State of affairs and the chief clerk of the Populists, Ben C. Rich, proceeded to erase the names of 10 Repablican members from the official record of the State canvassing board and insert thereon the names of that mBny Populists, some of whom had been beaten by as many as 500 votes at the election. With this revision already spoken of the Populists with the aid of the

Democrats elected the State printer, the Populists then acting in turn with the Democrats the Democratic U. S. Senator John Martin was elected. The last attempt of Republicans to throw the matter of the legality of the House of Rep resentatives into the Supreme Court was made last Tuesday. The Republican House, called the "legal" House, attempted to arrest Ben Rich of the Populist House, better known as the "rump" House for the mutilation of the record already mentioned. The Republican sergeant-at-arms when he went to arrest Rich, was frustrated by the Populists who spirited Mr. Rich away.

By an agreement between the legal House and the rump House, the former was to occupy the hall of Representatives in the for6noor. and the latter in the afternoon of each day. Wednesday morning when the Repulicans started to the Representatives hall they were met at the foot of the stairs leading to the hall by 15

PopulistB

The colonel of the militia refused to carry out this order and was immediately relieved of his command. The raili tiamen disapproving of the Governor's aotion gave the Republicans to understand that they need not fear an attack made by them. The Governor put a man of his own stripe in command of the troops but they refused to obey. The Republicans barricaded all the accessible approaches to the hall and placed armed men at passage ways.

Matters continued in this way until Friday morning when the Republicans brought the Governor to satisfactory termB which were that the legal House should hold its sessions in the Representative hall. On the part of the Populists the Governor asked that they be allowed to hold their meetings at another place undisturbed and that no

tives in the Cabinet, but they are so email as to ability and influence that Cleveland probably counts them only as further arrests be made by either party.

wa» also agreed that the deputy «her-

iffs, who sided in with the Republicans, and the militiamen should be withdrawn. The matter of establishing the legality of the House of Representatives of which party now remains to be settled by the Supreme Court. The Governor and Populist leaders openly declare that if the decision of the Supreme Court is against the legality of the rump HouBe that they will not abide with it as the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over such a case. It may be said in behalf of the Governor that he is simply the instrument of three Populist leaders: Frank Doster who I am sorry to say came from Indiana, C. G. Clemens who waB one of the men who entertained a visiting delegation of Anarchists in this city severaU years ago, and Chairman Breidenthal of Populist central eomivittee. Many of the Populists severely censure the Populist leaders for arousing such a eenons state of affairs. We might give the whole sum and substance of the recent "revolution" in these words: The people's party having got-' ten control of all the State offices and the Senate could see no reason why they did not have the House and proceeded to Bhape things to that end regardless of law and order. The tabulation of all tho votes oast for the representatives over the state were as follows: Total number of votes cast were 312,861, of which the Democrats received 1,477, the Populists 152,991 and the Republicans 158393 votes. This gives the Republicans 5,402 votes over the Populists, and as the Democrats have been with the Republicans all along with the exception of the electing of the State printer and the U. S. Senator (which was excusable, as they got to put in a IT. S. Senator of their own paity) with the Democratic votes the Republicans have 159,870 votes to 152,991 of the Populiste.

Hoping that this difficulty existing between the two parties may be adjusted with peace, order and justice to all concerned, I will close, remaining one of your constant readers,

armed with Win

chesters. The Republicans after struggle overpowered the guards and carried them upstairs with them. Speaker Douglass of the legal House and several other members then battered down the doors leading into the hall and followed by the other Republican members proceeded to clear the hall of the adju tant general and his corps of assistants. By night the Republicans had sworn in 300 assistant sergeants-at-arms to aid in the holding of the House. At 5 o'clock the Populists til need guards at the entrance doors of the State house who would let no one but those holding passes from the Populisl Governor pass in. The Governor then directed the sheriff of this county to see that the "lawless invaders" of the hall of Representatives were removed, but before the sheriff could reply the Governor ordered the militia to perform that service, he saying that the sheriff had refused to obey his orders.
