OFFICIAL CITT PAPER.
The initiative and referen
dum is a good thing; push it
along.
When a few bosses control
politics you can expect noth
ing but corruption. Witness
the Quay and Mazet cases.
Those who are close to the
president say a special ses
sion of congress will be call
ed Sept. 1st. The emergency
assigned for an extra ses
sion is currency action.
Wall street wants a few more
favors.
Dujtixo the past six years
the national interest bearing
debt has increased $441,000,
000. We have before re
marked that interest is the
curse of the age, and the in
stance herewith re c i t e d
proves our assertion to be
correct.
If the money which is used
in constructing and maintain
ing ioor houses and insane
asylums, were used in employ
ing idle labor andmaking pub
lie improvements how much
happier society would be.
Another argument for govern
merit ownership.
The latest reports sent out
by the relief bureau of New
York City say that 60,000
people are suffering for the
necessities of life and 10,000
are on the verge of actual
starvation. These reports are
never magnified and in most
cases they are minimized. Do
you stiJl have faith in a repre
sentative government and
competitve system?
a
The Kansas Commoner
very truthfully says that the
"crank" is the advance agent
of civilization. No progres
sive man ever advanced a
new idea without suffering
himself to be denounced and
1? r i i
riaicuieu as a iooi ana a
cranK, Dy tliat class oi peo
ple who haven't the capacity
to think and learn. It was
so in Columbus' time and it
is so today. The American
people are in need of more
"cranks."
In these days of "unparal
leled prosperity" we find more
cities, counties and states try
ing to compromise their bond
ed indebtedness than at any
time in history. They all say
they cannot discharge the en
tire obligation, and they are
not misrepresenting matters
All of which goes to show
that these prosperity claims
are fraudulent and amount to
nothing more than political
buncombe.
The Topeka apital roars
for the retirement of the
greenback and says among
other things that the "green
back has always been the ob
stacle to continued prosperi
ty." That may sound nice to
that class of people who do
, not choose to investigate the
matter and arrive at a con
clusion from the result of
such investigation, but those
who would rather study the
matter candidly will arrive
at a different verdict. The
greenback, while faulty, is
the. only practical safeguard
to our monetary system. Re
move the redemption clause
and make it a full legal tend
er and it will bring genuine
and last prosperity and hap
piness " to every home on
American soil. 1
John J. Ing alls is out for
the election of president, vice
president and U. S. senators
by a direct vote.of the people.
If Ingalls would have only
thought of that during the
eighteen years he served in
the U. S. senate he might
have been of some service to
his country. Here is another
case of conversion after death.
But even that is better than
no conversion at all.
The republican monetary
conference is holding a secret
session at Atlanta City and
according to good republican
authority, "will frame a meas
ure which will be satisfactory
to the administration and the
next congress." Prominently
among the "statesmen" who
will be permitted, to attend
this "secret session" are Itus
sell Sage, John D. Rockefeller,
J. Pierpont Morgan, Marcus
Aerilus Hanna and other
"patriots" who are willing to
sacrifice everything for their
country and suffering human
ity. Great things are expect
ed of that "secret session'1
nobody thinks. The people
would have reason to be more
hopeful if the work of fram
ing a monetary measure were
left exclusively with a gang
of penitentiary convicts.
AN iTstYlL THEY C 0 MET
Last week we commented upon the
fact that Trustee L. is. McEIwaiu, of
Eagle township, brought a certain tax
evader to the chalk line and thus "cor-ralled'-'
$500.00 of taxes which the coun
ty would have lost had that township a
less diligent trustee. Since that time,
we notice from the lieview, Trustee L.
C. Goff, of Kiowa township, has also
driven a blow iu that direction with
equally good results. The Standard
Oil Company, during the past few
years, has made Kiowa a central point,
and supplies intermediate cities iu a
considerable scope of surrounding ter
ritory. Under former republican trus
tees this gigantic concern was not as
sessed but was allowed to ii'.eu money
from the public without contributing a
copper to the treasury in return. Eat
when Lemuel C. GolT was elected to
the responsible otlice of trustee there
was a change and now the Standard
Oil Co. is on the tax rolls. The repre
sentatives of the company kicked like
a bay steer in a heel Uy charge, and it
required a contempt proceeding to
bring them to taw, but GolT "fetched"
them nevertheless.
We understand there are others of
the same class who were heretofore in
the habit ot evading their just share of
taxe3, who have been headed off, and
those who were thus served are swear
ing vengeance on Mr. Goff; but the
best element of people of Kiowa town
ship, as well as those of JJarber coun
ty, are with him and his work need3
no defender. Xext!
Tom Doran, late clerk of Woodward
and an old timer on the range, lias
been secured by the Frisco manage
ment as live stock agent for this terri
tory. Tom returned from St. Louis
April IL'th via Oklahoma City and the
Live Stock Inspector is pleased to note
the following from the Times-Journal
of that place under date of April 10th:
"Tom Doran, of Woodward, an old
friend of John ltoller, is in the city.
He in a typical western rustler and his
business has taken him into every part
of the western part of the territory
and Kansas and Texas. Mr. Doran
settled in Woodward at the opening.
The people of his county recognized
his business capacity and elected him
two terms in succession to the office of
county clerk. The work ef his office
was done to the satisfaction of all par
ties, but Mr. Doran needed a wider
field for the exercise of his rustling
abilities. lie is now at work for the
Frisco in the live Btock department.
Mr. Dorn's well-known hustling abili
ty, his accurate knowledge of stock and
wide acquaintance ill the stoctc coun
try will make him a valuable man in
the stock department cf that great
world." Live Stock Inspector. .
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION".
The thirty-fourth annual convention
of the Kansas State Sunday School as
sociation will be held at Hutchinson,
May 9, 10 aud 11, 1S99. Every Sunday
school in the state is entitled to repre
sentation, liishon Vincent, Prof.IIam'.l
Dr. Kephart are iftnong the speakers
who .wiil participate. Mrs." Iioxana
Beecher Preuszuer will direct tha ses
sion devoted to punmy work. Prof.
Iloagland will conduct the singing.
The Hutchinson jubilee chorus will ap
pear at every night session. All the
railroads have offered a one fare rate.
For credentials address your county
officers. -For additional information
address J. F. Drake, chairman, Topeka.
VALLEY.
Spring is here for suie. The ground
is in good condition. Corn is being
rapidly planted. 'Some wheat is com
ing through, but a good deal is damag
ed and some entirely gone.' Rye is do
ing well and grass is coming on pretty
fast cow. . . .Prospects for fruit is good.
There will be peaches, apricot!, plums,
pears, grapea, gooseberries, cherries
and apples in abundance, wherever
there are orchards, and -small fruits of
bearing size.
The old soldiers at Hutchinson last
week turned a Stanley resolution
down.
Government banks are as essential
to the general welfara a3 government
postoffices.
A MAN whri inf nnt rpliv tliat. li
government is capaple of managing its j
institutions has very little confidence
in his country.
Since Insurance Commissioner
Church took charge of the department,
the insurance companies have been ex
empted from the reyenue stamp act.
Webb McXall didn't show them these
small favors but held that they should
be liable for their part of the burden as
well as individuals.
Gov. Stanley fosters and encourag
es trusts in his official capacity, but in
a recent speech he declared that "trusts
are a menace which should be suppress
ed." Wonder if he thinks he can fool
the people with a few weak words.
Stanley will be judged by bis deeds
rather than by his words.
The committee appointed to "inves
ticate" the Regents of the Agricultur
al College, have made their report to
Gov. Stanley. They do not rind the
Regents guilty of misconduct but find
that they have been teaching "doc
trines opposed to republicanism," and
hence their removal was recommended.
Gov. Stanley complied with the recom
mendation and will announce trie
names of their successors in a few days.
In the meantime a case will be prepar
ed for the supreme court and the peo
ple will Gnd out how far these investi
gating farces can be carried.
HE THAT HATH LIGHT, ETC.
Editors Index: Several years ago
there was considerable talk of a com
promise with the holders of Barber
county bonds, and the county commis
sioners employed one' Bigger to man
age the matter in the interest of the
taxpayer of Barber county, and a con
tract was entered into with said Big
ger by the commissioners to that ef
fect. Since then the taxpayers of Bar
ber county have heard very little about
the matter except that Mr. Bigger
pretty regularly meets with the Board
and gets some petty good sized bills
allowed. Latterly I notice that Eu
gene Ware, C I. Long, and I don't
know but A. L. Xoble, are also Laving
a linger iu the pie, and so far as I know
the taxpayers doirt know how much of
the debt is compromised, or whether
any is, but they do kuow that their
taxes are about as much or more than
heretofore; and it seems to mo that the
People ought to know aud have a right
to know what has been done in the
matter. Some think the people are
getting very poor "Ware" and that the
expenses are getting "Bigger" and
"Long" er all the time. Would like
to have some light on this matter if
anyone is able to give it.

1 went to the mar Livery Barn, owned by
"Otto Soutbworth." and hired a- borse and
buggy and dioreout to College Hill the place
where I went to sohool before 1 went out
east, to see if I could find any of my old school
mates. I could scarcely find any one I knew,
that went to school when I did.
They have a large brick house instead of the
old white one we went to. (where the plaster
iug would fall down and f rbrbten us.) In ad
dition is the kindergarten school.
There are a great many little strangers go
ing there: some otthe little children that were
small and had just started to school when I
went to school there, are now teachers.
