would most thoroughly meet the indi-

skillful generals these sharks have

They have chosen their tools with Pc
culiar reference to their fitness.
Now let us call to mind atthis point
another fact that will be necessary for
us to remember in order to fully COM
prehend the vast scope Of the plot by
which il is hoped TO still deceive the
people and perpetuate the system OF
robbery that has prevailed in recent
years. The Instruments for the per-
petuation Of these conditions are un-
fortunately not limited to one Of the
great political parties, The declara-

Now with this introduction let III
go back for a brief period and review
the history Of current events, and se'
if we can discover any bearing They
are intended to have upon the politi
cal affairs Of our state. As before
stated two things are necessary as
basis Of procedure measures anC

Of Kansas are prohibition as an ISSUE

publican party to the exclusion Of all
others except that Of personal yili6ca-
tion, is the issue Of prohibition. The
persistent attempt to force this ques-
tion has a history and apurpose aside
from that which appears upon the
surface. We affirm that this policy
has been deliberately planned, that it
originated months ago in Wall Street,
New York, and that the entire ma
chinery Of the republican party OF the
nation in all it's departments, includ-
ing the supreme court has been
brought into requisition to make the
policy successful, Let us be plain in
this matter. The election OF the peo-
ple's ticket in Kansas this year insures
the election Of a peoples president
and a peoples congress in 1892 The
eyes Of the entire nation are turned
anxiously towards us to-day. From
every quarter Of this vast country the
people are watching to see what Kan
sas proposes to do. Always a leader
of public sentiment, she yet has such
a tremendous majority to overcome
that the people Of other states who
are not personally cognizant Of the
great revolution in Kansas are anx-
iously watching and hoping without
the hope that comes from knowledge,
and patiently biding the coming cleo
ton. The moment our triumph is
flashed over the wires, the hearts Of
the great common people will throb
with JOY, and new hope and new
purpose will inspire them with new
courage and a new power that will be
as resistless as the mighty swell OF
ocean. The money power which has
dominated the old parties and dictat-
cd the policy of the nation for the
last quarter OF a century, is aware Of
this fact. The shrewd, keen discern
ment Of the men who have manipu-
lated all the departments Of our gov
ernment during this disastrous period
of it's existence has not failed TO read
the signs OF the times, and their un.
questioned sagacity has selected the

Caroline Warmers Estate.

In the matter of the estate of Caroline
Warner yesterday Mr.. Whaling, attorney
for Caroline Warner, moved that the &C.
counts of A. McComas, guardian, be re-
examined as to that item in the proposed
amended account sought to be approved
and settled by the guardian, for the fol-
lowing reasons; because although the
court ordered the final account to be
amended and that he either pay certain
sums due the estate or furnish real
estate security for the same. yet the
guardian was alleged to have failed to
comply with the order; and because she
had filed three sffidavits showing that the
security taken by the guardian for loan
was not sufficient to pay one quarter OF
the principal and interest for two years.

critics who rob the Indians would be gone,
and what they would lose the people
would save. Respectfully yours,
A MINER.

The above article was prompted by
the dispatches in Tuesday mornings
papers, but the writer thought that
shame would check the ardor OF those
who advocate the cause of Chato by mis-,
representing the truth and therefore ala
not submit it. But the interview with
General Crook published this morning
shows that by his mouth he is adding IN
suit to the injury which 1t was bis duty
to prevent with his arms. And know
ing many of Chsto's victims personally
ask you for space to state who he ls:
Chato was the leader OF a band OF
eighteen or nineteen renegade Indians
who did not surrender, but remained IN
old Mexico when the Chiricahau
Apsches that had left San Carlos
reservation in 1882 were brought there
from the Sierra Madre mountains, and
when the Indians we're supposed to be
all on the reservation and quiet, and
miners and prospectors scattered through
the mountains, this small band of cut.
throats, with Chato as their leader,
| eneaked back to the reservation without
being detected or creating any alarm,
travelling in the night and hiding on the
peaks of mountains during the
day, and locating the people which
were exposed, SO as to make
fearful killing on their way
back to Mexico. They reached the
reservation and were supplied with
arms and ammunition, and covered
their trail with the blood of abou
thirty-ive or forty innocent mer
on their return, and to enable
your readers to form their own opinion
of Chato, I will only mention the killing
of Judge McComas and his wife anG
child. They were driving through
Thompson's csfion, about twenty-five
miles from Silver City, when Chato art
his band, who were hiding, poured &
volley into his team, killing one anima
and crippling the other, then surrounded
the wagon, killed the Judge. dragged hil
wife a short distance from the road
stripped her, and after abusing her in
fiendish manner, killed her, and no re
liable trace of the boy could ever be
found by the relatives of the family; bu
the Judges gold watch was afterwa ards
found on Chato or on one of his gang.
On the occasion of another Indian raiC

not work, went to intercept band O.

Episcopal church (South) of Huntington,
w. Va. Deceased was passing through the
ceremony of initiation into the Royal Arch
chapter of masonry on Friday night last,
at Huntington, when an accident happened
which cost him his life. He was about to
be lowered into vault eighteen feet deep,
symbolical of the search in the ruins of the
temple, when suddenly the rope upon
which his weight was suspended unwound
from the tackle and he fell to, floor below.
He was extricated by means of a ladder,
and no outward mark of injury could be
found. He had struck on his left hip and
suffered intense agony, He was conscious
and absolved the brethren from all blame.
He died Sunday morning
Another candidate had just passed safely
through the same ordeal. Hisfuneral serv-
ices on Sunday night were attended by an
immense throng. The sad feature of the
case was that Mr.. Johnson was to have

der members of the senate without formal
announcement entered the chamber and
quickly took seats in the body of the hall.
A saber covered bier stood in front of the

was placed near by. At 12:10 the officiat-
ing clergymen, Drs. Butler and Cuthbert,
entered the hall reading the beginning OF
the burial service.
The burial service was read by DR.. But
ler, and prayer offeredsby DIR, Culhbert.
Mr.. Butler then read the XIV chapter of
the 1. Corinthians, and followed his reading
by prayer. The benediction was delivered
by DIR. Cuthbert. Then sadly the commit
tees escorted the remains of Hon. VIM. d.
Kelly from the chamber which had known
him so long and so we'll; the senators,
headed by the vice-president, who had oc-
cupied a seat by the right of the speaker,
having left the chamber.
They were followed by the committees
of the senate and house having charge OF
the ceremonies, and then amid solemn
hush the magnificent casket containing tt e
remains of VIM. ID. Kelly was placed on
the bier. The family of the deceased were
then escorted to seats provided for them
close t. the casket. The burial service was
read by DR.. Butler and prayer was offered
by DR.. Cuthbert.
