MR MAnnEN

Mr.. Admire, through the columns of
his paper, the Usage City Free Press,
says:
Mr.. Madden ought not 20 be con-
victed on ex-parte charges and ire
sponsible rumors. The Emporia Re-
publican should either stop its fight, or
file its charges with the congressional
committee and demand an investiga-
ton. OF course, no candidate for pub
lie Office can afford to be driven from
the field merely because his character
is assailed.
As we understand this thing, Mr..
3dmire, as chairman of the central
committee for this district, is the espe-
cial guardian of the interests of the re-
publican party in this case, and not the
Emporia Republican or Governor Esk-
ridge. The proof that Mr.. Madden is
a man unfit to represent any party as a
presidential elector can be found in
any mercantile directory for this sec
ton, and, as guardian of republican in
terests, it is not the duty OF Mr.. Ad-
mire or his associates to wait for some
private in the ranks to file charges
against one who has been made COM
missioned officer. All the privates can
do is to protest against going into bat
tie under a leader who is more than liza
bic to prove traitor should the con-
fiict be close one.
The charges have been explicitly
made against Mr.. Madden, and made
publicly.
1t hardly seems that it becomes the
duty of newspaper editor to go so far
as to expend his time and money in
placing evidence before a district CEN
trail committee, holding sessions as a
judicial body, to hear and judge pro
and con on such evidence as may come
before it, but with no power to sub
pena witnesses or compel attend
ance of any one. 1t is asking too much.
AS the guardians of republican in
terests, as officers on duty, it is Mr.
Admire and his brother committee
men who should see to it that the in
terests of the republican party are not
endangered by leaving them in the
hands of person untrustworthy.
There is two-fold risk in so-doing
In the first place, very many repub
licans right here in Emporia, as well al
in Strong City and Cottonwood Falls
will not vote for him, and have so ex
pressed themselves.
In the second place, should he b
elected, as he possibly may. if allowed
to remain on the ticket, he cannot b.
depended on should anything like I
close contest take place.
With the character he bears, a
proven by his rating in dead-bea
books, no sensible business man woulC
trust him with his funds. What thel
must be the folly of placing in tn
hands of such man a trust for tn
betrayal of which 100000 has beel
within few years offered, and nearl
accepted.
Theman who serves as a presidentia
elector should have a character Xix
that of Caesars wife-above reproach

How WICHITA WINs.-When it
comes to do battle for Wichita her peo-
ole are all of one accord. Witness the
trick played on the outside democrats
by the republicans of the city last
Thursday. There were over one hun
dred Ingalls, men present and when the
fight came up for delegates to st. Louis
Dave Dale would have been showed
under by respectful majority had not
the Wichita republican crowd, which
was seated Immediately in the rear of
the delegates, gotten up in a body
when the vote was taken, and they
were all counted. This elected Dale
as a delegate, and the republicans did
it, under the leadership of Perry CrOs-
sen. Wichita will send one delegate
to each national convention, an honor
not conferred upon any other city in
the Wichita Journal.

SPEAKING of our reference to an ed
itorial in the Democrat, the editor of
that paper requests us to ''stick to the
point" if we can see it. We would be
pleased to do so, but the fact is that if
the editorials in the Democrat have any
point they are so thin as to be imper-
ceptible.

THE man who does not pay his hon
est debts, yet claims that he is able so
to do whenever the court decides that
he must, is hardly the man any private
citizen would care to trust his treasures
with. Why then should such a man
be trusted with, possibly, the future of
this entire country?

A WASHINGTON physician having
observed how many children were
round shOuldered, set about dis
covering the cause, and now en-
lightens parents in regard to custom
which Is not only destructive to good
looks but injurious to health. He
says: ''There is rule in the schools
that children, in order to fix their at
tention on their studies, shall sit with
their arms folded across their chest.
Such a posture arrests physical de-
velopment when maintained daily for
any length of time, and will cause the
growing ribs and cartilages to adapt
themselves to its requirement, and the
stoop of the shoulders and the con-
traction of the chest finally become
permanent" This is a valuable hint
for parents who permit their children
to stoop, and it will suggest to them
the propriety Of inquiring how they
have been sitting during school hours.

For Forgery.

merly in the real estate business in the
firm of Myers s. Cupp of this city, was
placed under arrest for forgery. He
was released on $500 bond. The charge
was preferred by Willie Rees, in behalf
of loan company of which Cupp had
tried to get money by forging mort
gage on land not owned by him.
Mr.. H. Immke, resident of Illinois,
owns several hundred acres of land in
this county, which is clear of incum-
brance, and Cupp, or some one else,
thought it ought to be mortgaged and
set about to secure said mortgage.
From the evidence now in the hands of
the officers, it appears that-Cupp went
to Florence, where he was known under
Immke. While there he directed let
ter to John Cupp of this city,
in which he speaks of the
money to be obtained by the
mortgage, and tells Cupp (himself) to
keep it until he Qmmkel comes to En-
poria. This, together with postal
signed II. Immke, asking the postmas-
ter to forward his mail to this city, is
in the hands of the sheriff.
Sheriff Worster and Willie Rees went
to Florence Saturday, and, on inter-
viewing different parties in reference
to who H. Immke was, thereby got a
minute description of John Cupp, who
is under arrest. A peculiar fact in
connection with this is that it is the
third time some party or parties have
attempted to mortgage this same land
during the past year, the former ap-
plications being made to Captain War
rem and W. j. Jones. 1t is evident
that Kansans are loath to see piece of
this green earth free from incumbrance.
AYouthful Miscreant.
Saturday night young boy, who has
been living with Al. Morrell of the San
ia Fe yards, pocketec S27 that was in
the house and skipped out. To aid him
in his fight he went to Perrier's barn
on Fifth avenue and hired one of his
white horses and a cart. When the
loss of the money was discovered Sher-
Iff Worster was Immediately notified
and the boy was overtaken after much
trouble near Reading, brought back and
lodged in jail.
Monday a complaint was sworn
out and he will probably be tried before
the present term of court closes. The
penalty, on account of his age, viii
probably be a long term in the reform
school.
The boy is New York boy and has
been with Morrell about five months
all together. It has, however, been
but three weeks since ne returned TO
this city last. Mr.. Morrell and wife
have taken care of him in sickness, and
have been as kind to him as they could
have been to one of their own children,
and the young orphan, heretofore, has
been almost model boy, excepting he
was possessed of a-roving disposition.
He is but twelve years of age and of
small stature. He has always been
partial to white horses, but says now
that it is scheme of the iverymen to
keep them, SO they can be easily de-
tected.
Willie Price is the lads name and it
is said his mother is In Michigan. He
is fond Of dime novels and the like, and
it is evident that he has been allowed
to grow up under their influence.
