THE -STRUGGLE FOR
(Copyright, 1900, by
THE ORfcGONIAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE:
AMERICAN POL1TICALPARTIES ,
BY HON. JESSE MACY.
XIV.
(Concluded.)
The Federal Governors.
It was in the Territory of Kansas that
the sectional question of slavery or no
slavery formed the absolute line of di
vision between the political parties. Un
til that question -was determined, no other
matters could receive attention. The
Territorial Governors appointed by the
Democratic pro-slavery Administration at
Washington were, of course, Pro-Slavery
3emocrats, sent out every man of them
to serve the Southern cause. But the
fact that, once -upon the ground and the
situation grasped, thesp same Pro-Slavery
Iemocrats almost without exception
were won to the free-state side of the
quarrel, speaks loudly for the Justice of
that side.
Andrew H. Reeder, of Pennsylvania,
entered upon his official duties In Octo
ber. 1854. He was an cyathuslastlc Demo
crat of the Douglas school, a lawyervof
reputation, and an honorable man. He
honestly desired to quiet the turbulent '
spirit already manifest on the border, and '
to deal fairly with all. Having traveled J
over his domain, he ordered an election (
for a Congressional delegate. By the aid j
of 1729 votes of Mlssourians. who came
Into the territory on election day for the J
sole purpose of casting those votes, the J
pro-slavery candidate was elected and (
took his seat unchallenged In the House i
of Representatives at Washington. The J
following Spring similar tactics, -with even j
more barefaced fraud and violence, de- J
posited SO per cent of the ballots cast
and chose a Territorial Legislature of tho j
desired complexion. Governor Reeder
having canvassed the returns and heard J
the protests of the free-state settlers, was
convinced, as he stated In public, that '
tho principle of popular sovereignty had
been utterly overthrown In Kansas, the I
Tights of her citizens outraged, the coun
try conquered by force of arms. But re
gard Tor the wishes of the President and J
his party obliged the Governor to content
himself with throwing out a few mem
bers as chosen by force and fraud, leav
ing the Legislature strongly prp-slavery
Btlll. Not content with this, that body
showed Its contempt for law and Its de
fiance of the Governor by immediately
seating every man to whom he had re
fused credentials. A bitter quarrel en
sued, and charges against the Governor
were made at Washington. He was vir
tually removed by the President, and at
once actvely Joined the tree-state party,
becoming one of Its trusted" leaders.
Shannon of Ohio, who succeeded Reeder,
arrived In September, 1853, and put him
self at once( -with Intemperate zeal upon
the side of' the lawless pro-slavery fac
tion. The territorial government and tho
state government, under the Topeka con
stitution, were now contending for recog
nition and the logic of events wrought a
considerable change In Governor Shan
non's views. But his unwise course at
the beginning of his incumbency rendered
it Impossible for him to play the pacific
part which he later undertook, and he
finally fled In all haste to secure his owp
safety from the territory which ho was
Incompetent to govern.
James Buchanan.
f-
C5fl.rv of Pennsvlvnnln fn11vn.w4 c-.
tember, 1S56. He had been chosen no less
ior his executive gifts than for his Demo
cratic sympathies.
Tho Presidential campaign was at Its
height when Governor Geary reached
Kansas, and he saw that Kansas must
be pacified with all speed or the Demo
cratic party was doomed. He declared to
the Mlssourians that one more of their
raids would defeat Buchanan So deter
mined and so skillful were the Governor's
measures that a short-lived quiet did
settle over the territory in course of a
few weeks, and had Geary been honest
ly supported by the Federal Administra
tion, he would no doubt have Kurrwvii
In establishing Justice and order In Kan
sas. But he, too, soon leaned too plainly
toward the free-state party, and, losing
favor at "Washington, he was forced to
resign,
Robert X "Walker, of Mississippi, was
the fourth Governor of Kansas. By the
time of his appointment, in the Spring
of 1S57, the hope of making Kansas a
slave state had been abandoned as fu
tile, and all Administration energies were
to be concentrated- upon tho effort to
make a Democratic state. It was for
this purpose that a man eminent, and ex
perienced in party tactics was chosen
4or a position so inferior. Governor Wal
ker proved an excellent official, winning
the confidence of the free-state settlers
and inducing them to tako part for tho
first time in October, 1837 In the election
for the Territorial legislature. But the
high-handed proceedings of the pro-slav-ory
party in respect to the Lecompton
constitution drove Governor Walker also
Into 'the ranks of their opponents. He
could not countenance -the Iniquity upon
which President Buchanan was deter--mined
of .forcing the Lecompton consti
tution upon the free-state population of
Kansas and. yielding to th6 President's
wishes, fco took himself out of the way.

who was .left as Acting Governor when
Walker Journeyed to Washington to state
his case to the authorities, was summar
ily dismissed, December, 1K37, as coriduct
ing himself too much after the manner
of his official chief and effectually aid
ing the free-state cause.
General Denver, of Virginia, who came
next upon the roll,, announced his inden
tion to carry out tRe policy of his pre
decessor. -He accepted the appointment
unwillingly, determined to resign as soon
as possible, which lie did In October, 1E5S.
He had striven Ineffectually for fair deal
ing and political Justice. Of all the Ter
ritorial Governors hitherto, ho was tho
only one whose resignation was wholly
voluntary. To him succeeded Governor
Medary, of Ohio, whose administration
fell In more peaceful times.
The Lceompton Constitution.
One of. the promises by "-fchlch Governor
Walker induced the anti-slavery settlers
to share in the October election of 1SS7
was that the Lecompton constitution
should be submitted to popular vote. The
pro-slavery Legislature, which was Just
retiring, had called a constitutional con
vention, wMch was still In session at Ie
compton, and did not adopt a constitu-
tloa until November 7. The October elec
tion aneantlme returned a free-state Leg
islature and Congressional delegate. In
December the? .convention, by a shallow
and Ignoble trick originating, we are
told, in the high circles of the Wash
ington Administration, called upon the
people to vote only upon what were
called the slavery clauses of the Consti
tution. The question was "the Constitu
tion with slavery or the Constitution
with no slavery." But by clauses not
submitted to vote "the Constitution with
np slavery" still made slavery perpetual
so far as concerned the slaves already
in the territory4and their offspring. The
free-state men, as a. matter of course,
refused to vote, but tho new legislature,
which they controlled, submitted tho
whole Constitution to the people In Jan
uary, 1855, and It was voted down by an
enormous majority. The slave state party
had in their turn declined to vote, but
an honest ballot had beea taken and a
comparison of the figures with those of
previous elections showed that Kansas
Voters were at least two to one against
slavery. News of the lecompton Con
stltutldn swindle revived tho declining
interest of the country in the fortunes of
Kansas. Appeal had been made to Con
gress for the admission df the territory
to statehood under the' Lecompton Con
stitution, and the Democratic party was
soon In a violent wrangle over the vex
ing question. Douglas" and many other
Northern Democrats and party newspa
pers protested against the measure, to
which the President adhered tenaciously.
The election of Jnnuary, which showed
beyond question the real wishes of the
Kansas settlers, effected nothing with the
Administration. Every resource of of
ficial patronage was brought to bear to
advance the cause of slavery. The bill
passed the Senate, but hung Are In the
House, and Anally failed to pass. Dis
graceful scenes occurred during the heat
ed Congressional debate. The bitterest
and most scorching words were not
enough; many of the members became
engaged In actual list flghts,.and only be
cause more dangerous weapons happened
not to bo at hand was there no blood
shed or serious bodily Injury. The wound
ed feelings were not soon healed. "
Tlie Dred Scott Decision.
The whole subject of slavery in the
.Federal domain came before the country
in- a new phase, while the status of Kan
sas was still unsettled. The Dred Scott
decision of tho Supreme Court will be
considered 'more fully hereafter, for Its
Important bearing upon party history.
It Is mentioned here only to show its
.connection with the original subject ot
dispute in Kansas.
Dred Scott, a, negro slave, liaU sued
for his freedom several years before on
tho ground that he had been taken by his
.master to the free state of Illinois and
to the freo territory of the northern por
tion of the Louisiana purchase, where,
according to the Missouri Compromise,
slavery could not exist, In due course
the case came before the highest court
of the Nation, and two days after the
Inauguration of President Buohanan the
decision was rendered. The negro was
-returned to slavery, since no negro ot
slave ancestry could stand before a court
of the United States as a "citizen" com
petent to sue or be sued. Tho court
then went on to discuss the other chief
Constitutional points Involved, and the
, decision pronounced the Missouri Com
promise act not warranted by tho Con
stitution and therefore void." This ab
solutely knocked all foundation from the
doctrine of popular sovereignty under
which the-long struggle for Kansas had

been carried on, for since Congress had
no power Jo forbid slavery In a .territory,
it certainly could hot create a territorial
Legislature which should possess that
power. No territory, then, could under
any possible circumstances bar out slav
ery, and the doctrine of popular sover
eignty worked only one way to permit
the citizens of a Fedoral territory to vote
tho Institution up, never down. Only a
sovereign stato could establish freedom.
XCanuR State.
In 1S53 the Kansas Legislature once
more called a Constitutional convention,
which met at Leavenworth. The free
state party was now supreme, and tho
Constitution adopted prohibited slavery.
It -was ratified by tho people and sent
to Washington. But once more the pjp
slavery Senate refused the appeal, this
time on. the alleged ground that the pop
ulation of the territory was insufficient.
The following year still another conven
tion adopted the Wyandotte Constitu
tion, which also prohibited slavery. Thl3
was ratified by the people, sent to Con
gress, and Kansas was at last, after
years of waiting and repeated refusals,
admitted as a state. But It was not until
after the Union had been dlsmemoerea
and the Senators from the seceded state3
had withdrawn that the opposition of the
upper chamber was overcome.

"I wouldn't ha minded It so much If
Id got mine back here In the old burg,
where any man's liable to stack up
against a grafter that's got a new one
rehearsed; but to have a dead new one
sprung on me way out there in Kansas
City, and to have the bundlo pulled off
me by a guy that looked as If he was
taking a day off from his Job In a holler
factory well, say, gimme air!" moaned
the Tammany man with, the wide
brimmed Panama hat, making the figure
S on the table with the bottom of his
highball glass.
"Trapped your roll out there, hey7"
said the other man at the table In. a
tone of no particular Interest. "Spoe
some Kansas City doll throw her arms
around your neck on the street and yelled
that you were her long-lost cousin, and
when you convinced her to the contrary,
and she wont away, dabbing at her eyes,
you found when you held yourself up that
you wore minus the wad, eh? Say, you
don't call that a new one, do you?"
"I know some knockers that are good
enough at It to build a battle-ship come
back to the home sack, I called you
out," replied the Tammany man, mourn
fully. "Nix, It wasn't any doll. Ho
might have been a hodcarrier or a piano
mover, though, by the looks of him but
wise! Say, lemme tell you .how wise that
one was:
"The second afternoon I brpke Into
Kansas City I got mixed up with a bunch
.of those Clark people from Montana, and
It was too sptinty a game for me. When
I had four of those murdering Mamie
Taylor things lined up In front of me
at one and at the same time, I figured
4t out that If I stayed along with that
gang of Indians for another 20 minutes
It would be a case of two crapshootera
on the hotel staff picking me up at the
head and feet and lifting me up to my
bunk like a scuttle of coal.
"I never butted into a bunch in my
life like that Clark outfit, and I've mixed
It up with a-plenty of crews around this
way that could go the distance at that.
They'd heave In a basin of the old red
every minute all day and up to 4
o'clock in the morning, and then they'd
.go upstairs to their rooms, change their
collars and cuffs, come downstairs to the
dining-room with eyes as clear as moss
agates and nerves as steady art hitching
posts, eat a couple of pounds of steak
for breakfast, with dozen or so o wheat
cakes on the side, and 20 minutes later
start right In again on the pink stuff in
the tall tumblers.as If they'd been rest
ing up on a farm for a month or two.
I used to think lhat some of the gang
around this way were stayers, but we're
only quarter horses alongsldo of those
Montana Blackfeet.
"Well, as 1 say, I saw that I was out
classed, and I didn't Intend to be put out
In: a punch and miss the fun, so I told
the circle of Clarkites that I was with
that I wanted to see a man at the hotel
desk and 'ud be back in a minute. Then
I drilled out the front door and hopped
on an open car that was passing. I want
ed to let the wind blow on me, and I
wanted a chance to think It over. I
didn't know where the car was going,
but the end of the lino was good enough
for me.
"The end-seat hog gamo don't go out
there, and so tho duck who was on the
outsldo moved back to let me have his
borth. Ho was a husky-looking geezer. In
rough toga, a white shirt with nothing to
show for the collar but a big bone collar
button, and a bum straw lid. He looked
like xl homy hand all right, and ho was
pulling on a corncob pipe. Wo had tho
seat to ourselves. I passed him tho prop
er thank.for moving along and giving me
the oUtsldo seat, and then the conduotor
came along and I reached Into tho change
hole In my pocket for tho nickel. I was
all ou on the change game, and so I dug
Into my left-hand waistcoat pocket for
the main wad, which I got out after some
bother, for It was a oig bundle of the
smaller ones, and it fit tight. I stripped a
two-spot off the roll and handed It to the
gy-ard, and then soaked the roll It fig
ured up about $19 In that left-hand vest
hole.
"Tho bollermaker on my left didn't ap
pear to be paying any attention to my
end of It until after the conductor slipped
along, but he then turned his moon face
to mo with a yappy grin and said he:
" 'From the old town, huh, pardr
" Tako tho head of the class, and don't
guess any more said L That's whero
I'm from.'
" 'Used to work there myself,' said the
plano-movor guy, good-naturedly. "Ban a
donkey engine at Havemeyer's Sugar
Works. Ever been through 'em?
" 'Well, I played 'em for a few last
Winter, when the market was going up,'
said I, 'but tho market didn't soar any
more after I got my checks down. That's
tho limit ot my tag-playing with sugar.'
"My truckman seatmate seemed to bo
next to that, all right, lor he swelled the
grin, and then wo got Into a general line
of chawerlno. He'd been In Kansas City
a whole lot longer than he wanted to be,
he said, and he had it in mind to take
another hack at the New York end ot"
the Atlantic seaboard before Jong. Said
he had to pretend out there that he was
doad stuck on Kansas City, and all that,
but that, on tho dead quiet, he'd rathor
bo In or around New York with a broken
back and 40 cents to tho bad than be
Governor of Missouri.
That line of spiel kind o warmed me
up to the duck with the bono collar-button,
and I told him he had the right Idea
of It, and so on. He moved a llttlo closer
to mo. In order to tell me what a bum
town he honestly thought Kansas Clty
was, saying that he'd get a ducking In
that mud stream out thero If any Kansas
Cltylte happened to overhear him taking
a bite out of tho town, particularly for
the benefit of a stranger.
"We were rattling along out In the sub
urbs, when a big black mammy with a
basket spotted our seat as the one where
she wanted to plant, and when the car
stopped she climbed up. I'm such a con
firmed end-scat hog myself that I let her
crowd by me, and my pal, the piano
mover, didn't want to bo shut off from
the delight and lnstructlveness of my
conversation, for ho let her crowd by
him, too. It was a tight fit, for the old
mammy was up near the 3W mark, and
she had a big market casket along, too.
She was still trying to wedge herself by.

STURGEON AND CAVIAR.

Threaten Early Extermination.
Philadelphia Ledger.
It may surprise some persons to learn
tha a full-grown female sturgeon Is as
valuable a creature as tho fur seaL Yet
thlsls a fact. It may also Interest and
surprise many to be told that more than
a. million dollars aro Invested In the shur
geon catching Industry In the Delaware
River alone, and that more than seven
eighths of the caviar sold in thlB country
as Russian caviar Is mado a few miles
below 'i1b city from eggs of tho stur
geon caught in this -vicinity. Yet both
these things are true also.
The slaughter of the fur seals indenting
Sea and their threatened early extinction
by Canadian poachers produced at ono
time widespread excitement throughout
the country, and for a while caused de
cidedly strained relations between tho
Governments of the United States and
England. Tho sturgeon is as perilously
near extinction as the fur seaL At the
rate this valuable flsh is disappearing,
and unless something Is promptly done
to prevent it. In five years thero will
be none to catch.
To show how rapidly the sturgeon aro
passing away It Is only necessary to refer
to tho roport of the Pennsylvania Fish
Commission. According to that document
between the years 1SS0 and 18S9 it was not
uncommon for 1000 sturgeon to bo seen
on the dock at Bayslde as the result of
ono day's catch. In tho latter named
year the flsh began to decrease In num
ber rapidly. Tho average satch to a net
that season was CO; in 1EM. about C5; In
1S92 it was 3; la 1S93 it had fallen to
32; In 1K1 down to 26; t In 1333 the average
to a net rose to 72, but In 1S3S It, fell to
27; In 3S37 tho average was 22; In H93
It fell to 13, and In 1S99 It sank to 8. Ih
1S8S the total catch of sturgeon In the
Delaware Bay and River was over 3000.

The story of the rapid disappearance
of tho "sturgeon In the Delaware Is th'e
story told of every other water in all
parts of the country. The Industry has
gone from the Chesapeake and lower Sus

the Great Lakes In the same proportion
as in the Delaware. It Is the samo all

While the British housewife Is bewail
ing the ever-Increasing scarcity of "gen

Queensland Government agents In the
country are shipping young women to
their colony in thousands. Some Idea of
tho extent to which the demand for sin

plied from the country districts of Eng
land may be gathered from the fact that
on last Thursday alono 215 healthy young
domestic servants were dispatched to the
Brisbane hiring depot by the colony's
agents, and with the farm laborers, their
wives- and families, the total shipment
for the day comprised 430 persons.
For the readiness to quit England for

reasons are assigned, not tho least Inter
