Large Bruggemann, Freeholder Ptingsten

this evening looking after Mr.. Kelly's
bill. providing for the vacancy in the
Board of Freeholders This bill, it will
be remembered, went to che Governor for
his approval without the signature of the
President of the Senate, and the Gov
ernor was obliged to send it back without
signing it.
It now appears that this state Of affairs
was brought about by someone's blunder-
ing in the House. The bill was
amended in the Senate and was then sent
back to the House. After the Assembly
had acted upon the amendment, instead
of sending the measure over to the Senate
for the Presidents signature after it had
been engrossed anew, it was sent direct
to the Governor
Senator Nevius was tackled as soon as
he came in and signed the bill, but the
Governor did not act upon, and the Hud-

stated that 1888 votes had been cast. On
the string were 332 votes. The most re-

an unburned parlor match, which was
used to hold the ballots on the string.

Garbade's Mother ana Wife to share His
Life Policy.
A case which has created considerable
interest to secret and benevolent societies
was amicably settled yesterday. About
six months ago Henry Garbade, saloon
keeper, of No. 70 River street
rather mysterious circumstances.
He was found dead in his led
by his wife early one morning. Mrs.
Garbade, the mother of Henry Garbade,
intfmated very strongly at the time that
the young wife knew more about the
death than she cared to tell, and that
perhaps its unexplained suddenness was
due to his wife's desire to secure poses
sion of a $1,000 death benefit on the
Donan Council. Order of United Friends,
of which the deceased had been an active
member. The police investigated the
story and found nothing to confirm the
suspicious of foul play.
Then came fight for the 80 600 1t ap-
pears that the original benefit certificate
was made payable to Garbade's wife. The
couple had frequent quarrels, and after
the death another certificate made it's ap-
pearance. 1t was made payable to the
deceaSed'S mother, and it is claimed that
the paper was signed when the deceased
was on his death bed.
Counsellor Russ, for young Mrs. Gar
bade. brought suit on the strength of the
original policy for the 1000 against the
Order of United Friends, but as the
deathbed policy loomed up the society re-
fused to pay until the question as to
whose was the proper claim was satisfac-
torily settled
Yesterday the counsel on both sides
agreed on behalf of their clients to divide
the money equally. and this morning
Counsellor Russ left for Poughkeepsie,
the residence of the treasurer of the
order, to secure a check for the money.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 80, 1880.

Was ever lie more apparent on tho face
of II?
They have told you in substance, that
II you had not produced 30 much you
would be more prosperous; that you
would have made more money; that the
country in general would be in a better
condition financially If the people would
not work 30 hard and oyerproduce every
thing. In short, we raise 80 much to eat
that some Of our people must go hungry;
manufacture 50 much clothing and 80
many boots and shoes that some Of us
must go ragged and barefoot; that we dig
out 80 much coal that many must suffer
for want Of fire. Oh, the ilimsiness Of
such argument How long will the peo-
pie permit themselves to be gulled by
such palpable falsehoods?
Down here in Arkansas we have a par
tlal failure Of crops and we are told that
that is the cause Of hard times. In Kan
sas they are blessed with an abundance
and that is said TO have caused hard times
on account Of an oyerproduction.
Oil the cheek, the gall II must require
for these self-important, self-conceited,
blatant political demagogucs, who never
produced adollar's worth of wealth In
their lives, to make such statements, to
such lies, But pity it is that
in this enlightened age there can be
found any considerable number Of fools
ready and willing to "ratify this infamous
lie with their ballot"
Is overproduction possiblc2 No. Why2
Because on the products Of labor we live,
Labor feeds us, clothes us, warns us and
builds houses in which to live.
Now suppose that eOery6ody had sur
plus Of all these things. Would the cry
Of poverty and wall Of despair go out
through the land2 The productions Of
labor contribute to the happiness and
comfort Of the human family they are
absolutely necessary to the ex-
istence Of the human race.
Is it possible, then, that these elements
properly distributed, can entail misery
and poverty upon the peopleP The idea
is too absurd to think about; It is too re-
pugnant to common sense. There might
be such thing as the overproduction Of
one or two things, TO the neglect of some
thing else equally as important; but this
would be soon corrected by the loss in
1t as compared with the profits
in producing that which is neglected, and
the equilibrium is soon restored; butther
never can be general overproduction,
Except, perhaps, Of fools)
The real cause Of the general industrial
depression throughout the country is an
system Of distribution. Sta
tistics show that the wealth Of the coun-
try has increased within the last twenty.

billion dollars. No other country has at

Had Mr.. Carlyle been divinely inspired
he could hardly have described, with
clearer prophetic vision, more precisely
the condition of the American people at

We are passing through our "trlal per-
