state, from which it receives informs-
tion periodically concerning public
matters; and these special contrib
utors give ample evidence Of their
training in the Capital school. They
understand that under no circum-
stances must they tell the truth.
Such q breach Of trust would at once
lose them their position, and forever
debar them from further favor from
the Capital Office. Public men who
have dared TO do otherwise than fol-
low the lead of the Republican bosses,
are everywhere subject to attack
from this unscrupulous gang, and
the foulest ISLANDERS are published
against them. When these are proven
to be entirely without foundation,
the Capital has never yet had the
honesty TO correct it's reports 1t is
not In that business. Its fslsehoods
and misrepresentation are designed,
and q correction would destroy their
effect.
One of the last victims Of the Cdpi-
t0rs vindictive falsehood is Mr.. Sem,
the Peoples Representative from
Dickinson county. The following is
its special from enterprise
ENTERPRISE, Kan, April 26.--On the day Of
the city election, M. Sem and several others Of
the Alliance people raised purse Of 800 to bet
on the result Of the election, Mr. Sem putting
up 96O OF the amount. The election went against
them, and the stakeholder turned the money
over TO the winners. Mr.. Sem and his colleagues
then commenced an action against the stake
holder to recover their 800, pleading that 1t was
q gambling transaction. As the money had
been turned over to the winner before demand
had been made for 1t, the court refused to help
them and assessed the costs against them. Mr..
Senn became very angry and berated the justice
In as hard q manner as he could with his tongue
This is the man who always brought In .
minority report favoring the unseating Of the
Republican members OF the Legislature. He
also was member Of the Ooffeyvllle lnveStigar
tiOn committee and gave his opinion Of the re-
suit before the evidence was all In. The people
Of this community are beginning to see through
these calamity howlers and are sitting down on
them pretty hard at every opportunity.
The manner in which the people are
sitting down on the calamity howl
ers'' viii appear from the fact that
the Farmers Alliance continues to
increase in membership, and very
large Citizens Alliance has been or
ganized at Enterprise embracing in
it's membership many of the best
business men and citizens of the
town; and the truthfulness and relia-
bility Of the Capitals special CORES
pondence will appear from the fol-
lowing letter to the Alliance Mont
tor:
Editor Alliance Monitor:
DEAR SIR:-Some parties In Enterprise have
been seendlng Misrepresentation to the Topeka
Capital In regard to certain bet made In En-
terprlse on the city election with the evident In
tention TO injure Mr.. Senn.
The facts are that Sem did not bet, nor did he
sue for the stake money. Mr.. @. M. Case first
