The revolution that has In rwent
months taken place In the political koy
eminent of a majority of our larger
cities is significant of n reaction from
the moral lethargy that had settled
down upon the people. Combinations of
bad men bent upon plunder hel I control
of the municipal machinery, growing
bold and more hold in their dananee of
weak and Impotent public protests. They
wer made strong by their power to
make laws for their own government.
They controlled legislatures, and in
many cases dictated cnneewlohs and
comfort from state executive powers, '
Thoughtful men of alt parties oontem-
fltntd I Iia tlirl stf nnri.lrHMi nnri rtfltvia
Under these Influences with feelings of
dismay, but popular sentlmetit gave way
to partisan cupidity at the threshold of
the otlng booth.
The national calamity that brought
business stagnation and widespread
want upon the land quickened the senses
of every suffering cltlxen to such an ex
tent that a revolt became Inevitable, nnd
to-day nearly every large city In the
Eastern. Middle, Western and Paclllc
states Is under local government elected
as Republican In politics. Two years ngo
the benoflt lories of the Democratic party
held sway in fully as large a majority
of these municipalities.
ThU uprising against organized cor
ruption is deeply Impressive In Its wide
extent, and It brings to public olllclals
put In place under the banner of lte
publlcaniam a grave responsibility.
This lesponslblllty is not alone to tho
people who have so long submitted to
the outrage of systematic plunder and
crime, but to the party under the name
of which they have assumed the trans
ferred trust.
The obligation Is one that must not be
held lightly, for the public mind Is by
no means at rest on the subject. The
change has been made on distinctly de
tlned pledges. The future of the party
in municipal government is in the bal
ance. The people are In no mood to be
trilled with. Iteform Is what Is expected
a reform that will reach the very
grievances which the citizen had in
mind when he f-et his seal of condemna
tion ngainst the order of things under
which he had long suffvied.
It will not do to continue tho abuses
complained of. A change of name only
is not the sort of reform expected. It
must go to the very root of the political
disease or the people will know the rea
son why and the next move will be
more sweeping in 'Its icsults than the
first.

The American theatergoing public is
actually holding out some Inducements
for American actors to go to the trouble
of "making up " Heretofore the foreign
actor who had anything of a name in
his own country had only m buy a ticket
to this country to be assured of a flat
tering reception on his arrival and a
well filled strongbox on his departure.
American actors have been thrown Into
tho background, while foreign stars
were given the boun.uots-and the shek
els of silver and of gold nnd of green
backs. Not thRt none of these foielgn
actors deserved the reception they got,
but It was discouraging for an American
star to pla to half the business of a
foreign actor, when the reason for the
disparity between the two was the fact
that one was from across the sea and
the other was an American.
But now the astonishing statement la
made that duilng the past year the
leading domestic actors have played to
receipts which were about 25 per cent
greater than the distinguished foreign
stars had the pleasure of counting.
There Is a great deal of encouragement
In this fact, If it continues to be trii of
the future of the American stage. The
home product is ns good us that which
comes from abroad, every time, in most
things, and1 it Is true in this respect.
The mos.t encouraging feature of the
case is the fact that the actors whose
receipts have been so much latger were
exponents of the lgltlmato drama.
There Is some reason to hope that the
public taste is being improved and that
the time is coming when even native
horseplay will not draw the largest
crowds.
Another fact in this connection Is that
an American play is actually to he
translated Into French and played by
on of the stars of the first magnitude
In tho Paris firmament. There Is cause
for particular giatitlcatlon in this from
the fact that the author of the play
to be so honored is or was a Mlsaourlnn

til 1: M.W WOMAN.
There Is an nwful lot of rubbish be
ing wrlttcti un.l printed Just noiv about
the New Woman. As a matter of fact,
the ' n. w Woman" who Is being paraded
befi.re the wot Id, and who Is alleged to
threaten masculine supremacy In every
department of life, has been evolved
from the Inner consciousness of her cre
ator.". There Is no such woman. There
are a number of women, possibly an In
creasing number, who eeiclse the
American right of wearing such styles
of clothes ns they see lit, and who may
perhaps exercise poor taste In so doing.
There Is an undoubtedly Increasing
numbr of women who nro earning their
own living and selrltig the opportunities
which open up before them with each
passing year. The women of America
are awakening more nnd more to the
dignity of womanhood, the Importance
of the responsibilities that rest ttpoti
theln. the sense of their eiiuility with
their so-called lord and mnster. The
American woman Is busily preparing
herelf for the destiny that nwalts her
when the world has learned a little
more sense. .She Is now several decades
ahead of her plsters Itt other countries
of the world. If Ilenrlk Ibsen had been
well acquainted with the eituatlon ho
Woutd never have expected tho Ameri
can public to take "A Dolls House se
riously. American women do not need
to be aroused to the Injustice of being
treated as If they were absolutely Irre
sponsible: dentures With -the number
of self-supporting women growing con
stantly In this coihtry, with women as
serting their Independence almost ob
trusively In departments heretofore re
garded as dedicated to men nlone, Mr.
Ibsen's sermon Is somewhat out of place.
The American woman Is, ns has been
said, preparing herself for tho destiny
of the coming century. But there Is no
such creature as 11 "New Woman" in
the accepted sense of tho word, and
there Is no need for her. American
womanhood Is not endangered by this
advance of position on tho part of
woman. She Is getting more sense, that
Is all She Is not growing less lovable,
less womanly, less w 01 thy to become
the wife of the young American man
If she is rapidly freeing herself from
the necessity of having to mairy to get
a home, that Is not an indication that
she Is less lit to occupy a home when
she finds someone who possesses for her
oth-r attractions than tho ability to
provide the home for her. The joung
men of America have no reaQon to light
the advancing cause of the real new
woman. He would belter bend all his
superlluotis energies toward trying to
keep up with the procession. There is a
new woman, but she is the right kind of
p new woman It would be well for the
voung men of America to give a little
heed to the cause of the new man.

The disgusting revelations being made
in tho Chase investigation at Topeka are
doing much to awaken the people of the
state of Kansas to a. icallatlon of the
real character of the leaders of the
party which had the state by the throat
for two veats Tho rank and tile of the
Populist party does not sympathize with
such men as the lcadeis have pioven
themselves to be, and the lank and Hie
must be getting rather discouraged at
tho monotonous revelation of the du
plicity, venality, Immorality and general
unfitness of the men who vvete raised
to olllco through the success of the Pop
ulist ticket
It was thought thnt when the Repub
lican party had triumphed at the polls
the- state was really redeemed, but per
haps it is as welt that the people of the
state should pass through this era of
purification and see Just what kind of
leaders they have followed In their wan
derings in the wilderness. It Is unfor
tunate that Kansas must wade through
all this tilth before her final redemption,
but It is one of the "difllcultles" through
which she must go to reach her "stars."
It It wvre not so disgraceful It would bo
ludicrous to witness the periodical and
unfailing discovery of the incompetency,
corruption or actual Immorality of the
high officials of the Populist party. But
perhaps the discovery and the afnding
result of the discovery are ns good a way
to kill the party as any other.

Topeka. April 6. (Fpeclnt.) The Chase
Investigation opened to-dny with A. M.
Brown, former superintendent of the coil
mine at the penltentlan. on the stand. He
testified that parts of tho mine were con
tinually In 11 dangerous condition and that
no constantly kept the warden Informed of
the dangers the convicts who worked un
der ground were exposed to. The wnrden
refused to let him make the necessary re
pairs. As a mining expert, be said he
on-IJered the warden guilty of criminal
negligence
The next witness wns Willis Prost, an ex.
convict from Topeka, who testified as to
the food supplied the convicts. Under tho
vvnrdeiishlp of George Case, ho said, tho
food had been sufficient nnd of good qital
lt, while shortly after Warden Chase took
charge It commenced to run down In both
of these respects. Under Chase the diet
was never changed from day to dnv. In
giving the supper bill ot fare the witness
said they had bread and molasses, nnd
one of the committeemen asked what kind
of molasses was furnished.
"The were ver poor; so thin thev
wouldn't stick on a knife," replied the ex
convict. "How wns the fresh beef?" asked one
of the lawers
"It wns Inclined to be sort of rotten,"
was the reply.
"Was it ulwas rotten?" queried the lavv
or. "It wns Inclined to be considerably oft
en was the response.
"Did you often go away from the tabic
htingi ' '
"I didn't usunlly appear to get enough
to eat," responded the Indefinite, witness
and then he proceeded to testify that he
had never seen Warden Chase mistreat
anv of the convicts.
The next witness placed upon the stand
was Wiley W. Cook, assistant state nudlt
ot, who testified to a stack of vouchers as
containing the monthly p-iy rolls of the
penitential-. These pay roll were Intro
durid to prove several thing". One was
that Warden Chase carried his entire fam
ily upon the pa rolls. His son John was
mine engineer, his son Seth wns messen
ger and his daughter Jennie wns carried
as a keeper The duties of a keeper arc
to promenade the walls of the penitentiary
with a double-barreled shotgun, which
would seem to be rather nn unusual cm
p!oinent for a young woman
Another point these pay rolls displayed
wns that certain men were carried on the
rolls In positions which they never occu
pied As an Instance. John Gieavcr diew
pa for May and June as a mine ofllccr,
when !t was lu pioof that he never enter
ed the mine once during thoae slxtv das
It was also discovered bj these roils that
certain olllcers appeared on the rolls ns oc
ctiplng higher salaried positions than they
actuull did
But the main purpose ot Introducing
tliese state documents was to show that
the warden had committed perjury every
month when he swore that all of the nen-
ple on the pay roll performed the duties
of the otllces set oppoMte their names
The final witness of the day was Judge
J r McDonald of Port Scott, who told in
detail about the assault committed upon
him by Warden Chase when he nppeared
at the penitentiary as attorney for the
prosecution In the Investigation started In
July, and which the warden brought to a
udden cloe by terrorizing the witnesses.
The old gray haired man testified that he
was still suffering from that assault and
thnt his health was badly broken from the
beating Chase had given him The assault
came about In this manner The attorneys
had finished arguing a motion for continu
ance and were- awaiting the decision of
the committee upon It Without any pre
liminaries, Chae approached Judge Mc
Donald nnd said-
"McDonald ou are .1 old liar'
You nromlsed me not to have anvthlnir to
do with this Investigation"
To this tho Judge replied that he had
promised not to expose the penitentiary
scandal before the Populist convention, but
when he made that promise he had the sol
emn assurance of Governor Lewelllng that
the ponltentiarv shoul 1 be Investigated, a
pledge which the governor broke
"Vouie a old liar!" again shouted
Chase
To t'i(s the Judge responded- "If ou cnll
me a liar I shall have to tell you ou're
anolher "
With this Chase sprang upon him, strik
ing him repeatedl with Ills list about the
face and head He managed to lire ik away
nnd seized 11 chair, when one of the wit
nesses ptesent shouted 'Tor God's sake,
don't trv to strike him, or he will shoot
oil dead'"
The room was quiet as tho old man
Krnphlcallv described the assault. When he
had finished the brutality of Chase's con
duct was impressed upon cvciy listener
The defense did not cross-eximlne nnd
seemed relieved when the episode was
over
At S o'clock the committee adjourned to
take up the lnvestKntlon ngaln at 11
o'clock on Tuesday next at tho peniten
tiary. Tho board of penltentlarv directors met
nt Lansing yesterday, when Deputy Wnr
d n Markum stated that ho had misunder
stood the poveinor's orders nlaelng him In
rhnrse of the institution nnd regretted the
"sink or swim" letter he had written In
replv As he seemed to he anxious to do
his dutv the board decided not to remove
him at present.
Governor Morrill to-dav said that he
would take no steps loward appointing a
new warden either temporarily or other
wise until the Chase Investigation hnd
been finished

"1 look far better times. There nre
signs of healthy Improvement nil along the

markets are ranging upward. .ou know
pig Iron ts called the barometer of busi

ditions Is to be seen lu the Increase of de
posits by stnull depositors, which means
wage earners, This class of depositors
has been very active with us for the past
ear und our deposits have Incrensed J1.200.
11W. The same Increase In savings depos
its has been noticed In the Hast, which
goes to show that the working classes nre
not generally In nn thing like pinched cir

Is that while the deposits have Increased
the withdrawals have decreased Tho
panic seems to have effected most the so
called rich people ns a rule.
"As to our business In the West, wo In
vested almost wholly In county and city
bonds in Bastcrn Knnsfts, Nebraska and In

Populists got to showing too great activ

been well taken care of. Most of them
are in Hastern Kansas nnd there has not
been a slncle default In the payments of

that Is a very Improtant factor In the up

Information Prom Jeffirson City Indicates
the Supremo Court Wilt Sustain Judge,
WolTiiril In the Ballot llox Cuso.
The supreme court of me state will on
Tuesday hand down a decision in the ap
pealed ense in which Recorder of Voteis
Arnold was found guilty of contempt by
Judge Wofford, of the criminal court, for
refusing to obey his order to produce cer
tain specified b.-ellnt hn.es lend their con
tents before the grand jury. Recorder Ar
nold set up tho plea that, ns he was en
gaged in recounting the ballots In one of
the contest cases by order of the circuit
court, he was w-lthln the Jurisdiction of
that court, and could not be brought with
in the Jurisdiction of the criminal court at
tho same time- He also averred that he
wns required by law to keep tho ballot
boxes sealed and unopened for twelve
months, nnd at the end of that time to de
stroy the ballots, unless they were needed
In u contest case pending in the circuit
court. Judge Wofford held that Recorder
Arnold's plea was not sulllclent, and de
creed that he must either obey the order
to take the ballot boxes Into the grnnd
Jury room or stand committed for contempt
of court. Recorder Arnold thereupon ap
pealed to the supreme court. The case
was nrgued before that court nearly thTee
weeks ago.
A citizen of Kansas city received last
night from Jefferson City Information that
the supreme court will sustain Judgo
Wofford The citizen considers his Infor
mation leliable. It will not be surprising
to the legal fraternity of Kansas City if
the information proves true. A well known
attorncv said Ian night-
"If the supreme court upholds Judge
Wofford In tho Arnold case, tho limitation
that is now upon the labors of the grand
Jurors will be removed, and they will be
enabled to go to the bottom of the elec
tion frnuds.atid give them a thorough prob,
Ing. They can then examine tho ballots
nnd can summon as, man persons ns they
dislro to testify as to how they voted. Any
chnnges made In the ballots and the re
turns since they went Into the olllco of the
recorder of voters will be proved by sworn
testimony thnt cannot be impeached."

manding them, under pennlty of the law,
to wake up and account to the county for
the funds collected by them In fines, but
that was always the Inst of it. Nothing
