But to accomplish well the demands of the hout we must overcome our partisan zeal and in the interest of all that is noble and good stand up for the right. We must come to a point where we can assert in practice the great principles of the fathere who drafted the constitution in behalf of the ''general welfare." With them it was "principle not party;" but a terrible woe must rest upon this countrv if the voters should re verse the motto and declare them selves for party regardless of prin ciples. The Russian Treaty Again. Our readers will remember that the National Reform Press Association, which was in session in Washington when the extradition treaty with Russia was before the senate, exposed the hidden danger in the document and denounced it as against the spirit of American liberty. Tho partisan press said nothing about this treaty, and gave the public no light on it.

It passed the senate in a secret ex ecutive sossion and it is now a law. It seems that some of the' senators who voted for the treaty, but did not know what was in it, have been' reading the reform papers and have 'gotten their eves open. They are now raising a fuss about the matter and saying that they would not have voted for the infamous measure if they had known its Durnort. And these are the kind of men who are to legislate for the peo ple. "Whenever a bad bill becomes law there are a few sharp congressmen who know what it means, but those who are honest are too often ignorant of what is going on.

ro wonder that this class of men say that the people do not need relief and that there ia plenty of The Cau casian, The World's Fair. The Kansas Alliance Protective Association has made it possible for very many of you to attend the greatest show on earth, and not be swindled out of our monej-. No oilier State Alliance has especially provided for the protection of its own members and so reduced its rates thut it is possible to attend, and we expect to welcome the officers and members of tho Alli ance from Cvery otate in the Union. What a reunion that will be; and we hone to Drovide for any of your friends at lower terms then have been offered by any other company yet organized: at least the officers of the World's Fair informed us that Kansas has the lowest terms, and leads all the States in providing a clean, quiet, commodious resting place for boarding and lodging all who tako advantage of its offers at tho World's Fair. The Association ia indorsed by the Kansas State Alliance, the State Grange, and all the State otficers of Kansas.

We invite all National and State officers to meet with us. Our headquarters will be at 6825 East May street, near C9th street, Englewood, Chicago, alter May 1, 1893. You slop at Englewood, on the Rock Island railroad take thellalstead Lfiiieet cars down C9th street about one mile, to headquarters. Our new flats and five new cottages are about three' miles west and one-half mile south of the south line of the fair grounds. Everything is brand new, sweet, and clean, and we can furnish 3'ou board and lodging at $1.25 per day and upwards, and direct transportation to the fair.

We hope to secure car-load lots of passengers on the Hock Island from Topeka and other points, and thus secure the very lowest transportation Any person enn secure rooms in advance by sending $1 to the Secretary J. II. Stevens, Topeka, who will is3ue them a certificate for that amount, which guarantees them lodging at any time during the lair, and can be applied in payment for the same on arrival in Chicago. Certificate holders will always be given the preference in case we should have more at any time than we can accommodate. We are not exclusive, and offer advantages of our low prices to all well-disposed persons until our buildings are full.

Runners wearing TV A. and I. U. badges will be at the principal depots in Chicago to meet our patrons and eonduct them to our buildings. Trust claiming to reoresent us who does not wear such a badge.

For foil information, address 3. II. Steve, room 39 Columbian building, Topeka, until May 1. After May dress all communications to CS25 May trset, J-nglewood, 111. -KantnF.

mil. t. It was, in the outset, a prominent motto with the new party. It was principal that developed an interest in the hearts of our revolution ary fathers, against the unjust de mands of the mother country. Then, as now, serious dissatisfaction pre vailed and multitudes clamored for relief.

And later came the uneasi ness that preceded the war of the rehellion. Millions of hearts earn ed under the oppression as It pre vailed in this "free country." The results are still fresh in the memory of the American people. Among these was the issue of a bonded indebtedness which gave capitalists undue advantages over the masses as it contributed to enrich the wealthy and impoverish the poor. Subsequent developments result ing in stringency in the circulating medium in the curtailing of manufacturing interests, in exhorbitant charges in railroad traffic and in turning millions of money into channels seeking greater profit in usury, has resulted in general dis satisfaction among the laboring classes which can only find a reme dy in due legislation on part of the people. The strikes which have prevailed with increased violence and fre quency lor tnese twenty years are only a part of the outcome of capi talistic influences as brought to bear for their mutual benefit and as these influences have been develop ed through legislation, even so the remedy must corns' by our laying the "ax at the root of the tree" in counteracting legislation.

The reform move or great political upris ing now prevailing in this country is simply a strike for legislation such as an unbiased and intelligent patriotism everywhere demands. It is for the people, through principle, to striknTown the opposition at the polls, and so maintain their rights like brave men and true patriots. And this is the only sort of a strike that the Advocate will ever endorse. We feel constrained to'repubiate the "strikes'1 as they have prevailed this country for more than twenty years. As a substitute we favor the introduction of national greviences into political circles and then let these differences be settled by the voters, the only competent agency within the bounds of our free system of government.

That the toiling millions have a grevience none need call in question; but we call in question the sincerity of unbiased intelligence everywhere, that will dare to assert that the American people have no cause for 'for complaint. It is a fact that no man need at tempt to deny that the money kings of this country have an advantage Over the masses, and this too as Result of enacted by legislators Chosen by the oppressed millions. It is a fact deplorable to contem plate that the oppressed millions of this country have sent men to con gress and paid them high salaries; and that these have made laws against the interests of the noble constituency, and that too, in many instances, as, a result of "boodle" contributed by interested capitalists. Against sueh shall we call it "legalized ipjustice the people have a right to protest. Unjust laws are to-day in the way of the social, mental and moral development of our country, and it is the duty, of every citizen to go forth with all the power that the ballot can command against a form of oppression that will prove more dieaBtrious to this country than any other evil that ever existed among us, if not remedied at the ballot box.

The people of thia nation, to-day, demand more money, less extortion by the railroads, legislative control of the liquor traffic, the right of buffrage regardless of color' or Sex and the control of our lands by American and bona fide Bet?

TO BB CONTINUED NEXT WEES. Woman Suffrage.

Mrs. Lucretia ChaBO Russell writinnr from Illinois Bays that Blie attended us delegate a woman suf frage convention at Springfield, 111., a few days ago. The meeting was presided over by a sweet, pretty, white beaded woman from Cairo who manifested great patience as well as endurance on the occasion. It seems the meetinga were intensely interesting as is indicated by their protracted sessions. On two occasions the meeting continued till twelve o'clock at night and on tho last night they remained session till four o'clock in tho morning.

Several of the delegates by excessive work fainted and it is Baid that tho president of tho convention "labor ed for tho rood of the cause until she fainted and fell on tho lloor." Such enthusiasm, wo think, must be rewarded and we long for tho day when the women of this nation shall have the privilece of voting. We re gard the anti-woman PuiTrage idea as one of the relics ol tne barbanous ages that must shortly melt away before tho reform of our modern civilization, nnd God grant that the day mny speedily como when woraon shall be permitted, nil over this continent, to express borBelf at the polls. Keeping a Wife Young. A certr.in amouht of social life is absolutely essential to all of us to the old as woll as to the writes Edward W. Uok in a pertinent article on mcn'H inability to nee things as others see thorn, in the May Lalie' Home Journal.

A woman never grows so old that she ce.tsro to enjoy tho company ot others, and gencially the older she grows the more bhe enjoys it. It is al ways a pity to sec a man tall into a state which he explains by saying: "Oj, we're getting old, and don't care for so much variety in our lives." In the Dure unselfishness of his soul he always speaks of 'us" and "we," ns if it natural follows that because lie is getting antiquated his vite must keep pace with him in his decline. Men nil too often mike their wives too old. It is greater credit to a husband to keep his wife young than to make her grow old. His action and Ins Unuits r.eces sarilv influence those of his wife.

Let him keei) in touch with the world, ai.d both ho and his wife will be the better and the younger for it, I like to see a man proud of his wife bceauee she keeps young. Old age is beautful and has its advantages, but a man makes a irreal mistake when he rushes woman unnecessarily toward it. And he does it most perfectly when ha de prives her of those enjoyments whieli everv man should cive his wife. No economy is to false, so hollow and so misguided as that which seeks to withhold one pleasure from the life of a good woman, a true wife or a loving mother. The best homo a man can give a woman Incomes xta one woman I know ex presses it.if she is ask ed to live in it three hundred and sixty five da vs out of every year.

The good Lord knows that woman's life in this world is hard euough. She travels a path of enduranoe and Buffering, to which man, be be ever so beaTily afflicted, is an entire stranger. It was given to man to make that path as pleasant; as easy and as bright as possible. Every dollar which a man snends for the happiness of the woman of his Lome will come back Vo hirn la double, yea, in four-fold measure, Tuedar morning. Him BAp, CUm.
