Another lie Nailed.

En-. INDEX: The character of the
Cresset and the republican party is well
illustrated in the lie about Mr. Garrison
passing himself off at Wichita for an
other man. Mr.. Fl. A. Beals, of Shar-
on. was in Wichita Sc geral weeks after
Mr.. Garrison went there, and nearly ev-
cry dealer in the stock yards was asking
about Mr.. Garrison. The statement of
the Cresset is lie from the ground up,
without shadow of truth, sense, rea-
son or probability, and therefore con-
dennis its authors out of their own
mouths. The only apparent reason for
its being told is that Mr.. Garrison is an
alliance man. Selah! One Y.

Wichita Beacon: Deputy United
States Marshal Ed. Short, of Minco,
Oklahoma, was in the city last evening
on his return from Kansas City, where
he had been on Official business. Ed.
WAS the man who was most conspicu-
Gus for his nerve and bravery in the
county seat war of Stevens county a
few years ago and was the man who
made the arrest of those who were i'm
T.icated in the murder of Sheriff Cross.
Speaking about the killing of Sam
Wood few days ago, he said: Il have
known Brennan for several years, and
| don't know any good Of him. He is "a
coward and the fact that he tackled
Col. Wood is proof sufficient in nv
mind that Col. Wood was not armed
and that Brennan knew it. Brennan
has always been great fighter with
his mouth. but whenever it came to n
show down he wasn't in it,
What do you think OF the murder?'
Some one was backing Brennan in it,
Brennan had nothing against Wood of
such a serious nature as would warrant
him in killing him. | was at Paris,
Texas, during the trial of the men
charged with the killing of Sheriff
Cross, and Know exactly what Wood
said to Brennan. lie cross-examlned
him just as any other la;STyver would
er1sS-eXamine man who he knew hid
sworn to a darned lie. No, Brennan
didn't kill him for that; he killed him
for some other reason and somebody
was behind him In it.
Don't you think the tragic death of
Sam Wood will have bad effect on the
next trial of the Cook brothers and
their comrades?'
j do not. think it will help them.
SIM Wood knew a whole lot, and he
never forgot anything. He knew more
about the conspiracy to murder Sheriff
Cross than any other man and he will
not hurt the cause of the Cook brothers
in any way by being killed.
Mr. Short seems to be strongly of the
opinion That Brennan was only tool in
the hands Of somebody else.

card from Leland J. Webb, in the Cap

we only know Leland Webb as the son

member. We did not see any such ar
ticle in the Capital, and don't keep that
paper on file. II xxx has ever written

THE ISSUE MADE.

The Currency Plank of the Ohio Repub-
Hcan Platform Favors Gold and Silver.
The following is the currency plank
of the Ohio republican platform:
Thoroughly believing that gold and
silver should form the basis of all cir
culating mediums, we indorse the
amended coinage act of the last repub-
llcan congress, by which the entire pro-
ductlon of the silver mines of the
United States is added to the currency
of the people,
What is the true meaning of this
plank? 1t begins by declaring the be-
lief that gold and silver should form
the basis of all circulating mediums :"
Mr.. Mckinley makes clear the true i'm
port of this declaration in his definition
OF the doctrines of the party. He says:
1T is in favor of gold and silver, and
also paper money based upon coin, all
equal and at all times interchangeable;
equal in fact and equal in law"
Paper money based upon coin is not
money at all. Every piece of such pa
per is only certificate of gold or silver
held in the treasury for its redemption.
Under this policy the circulating me-
dunn of this country would be absolute
ly limited to the amount of gold and
silver in the country. According to the
last report of the secretary of the treas
ury this amount at the close of the year
1890 was as follows:

Higgins and such fellows would be
prowling around the back door of some
alliance newspaper, asking for job of
turning the wheel to grind out the edi-
ton. He hoped they would soon be
made t. earn an honest living.

There is no doubt but there is a
scheme on foot to unite the democrats
and the republicans IN fight on the
alliance The democrats have been
promised an equal division of the offices,
and a few so-called democrats, who
think there is chance for them to
sneak into office are in for the bait. 1t
is the same old republican dog that will
wag the democratic tail, and desert
them in the hour of trouble. Is it pos
sible that anything but fire can fuse
such opposing elements?

The Right KIND of BOY.

In one of our large establishments
connected with the iron industry there
occurred a few days ago an apparent
discrepancy in the accounts involving a
matter of 3. 900 pounds of scrap iron
The clerks of the department were set
to work to unravel the tangled skein,
and after they had expended two whole
days in the search they were compelled
to give up the task and pronounce it
beyond their comprehension. Thus
matters stood for several days. Sew
eral days later the office boy decided to
keep himself in practice in addition by
footing up column of figures on a
shee: which was lying on a desk beside
him in the scrap-iron department
Bending his energies to the task he got
along swimmingly with the units, tens
and hundreds columns. but when he
came to the fourth column he could
not make it agree with the footings set
down. Again and again he tried it.
and with the same results, 900 less.
Going over the figures one by
one his attention was drawn to a
queer-looking one. A f1y-speck was
beside it in such a position as to make
it appear like u four, and as such it had
been counted by each of the clerks in
the department The boy had earned
his promotion, and he got it.-Phila

Paving Streets.

George Winter, of Middletown, New
York, who travels for house in this
city, brings a story from Dunkirk. He
says that the efforts of the single tax
men of Quincy, Ill, Chicago, and other
places, to have public improvements
taxed on the property Immediately BEN
Gifted gave some of the single takers
of Dunkirk an idea There had long
been talk in that town of paving tho
main street, and method after method
had been proposed for raising money
for that purpose, but had always been
objected to and defeated by the proper
ty owners Finally an idea was adj
vanced, based on the methods devised
by the Quincy and Chicago single tax
men, with the result that finally, by
unanimous consent, a block on thG
main street of Dunkirk was ordered
paved, the expense to be paid by tho
property owners Immediately benefited.
This having been decided, the citizens
concluded that the paving should be n
first class job, and they authorized the
town council to make a contract to lay,
irst, base of cement twelve inches
deep. and to put on top of it brick that
is made in Pennsylvania especially for.
paving purposes The contract called
for S14 running foot for the pavement
When the job was completed and the
block turned over to the city the peopl0
resolved to have a jollification over it
and three weeks ago the affair camo
off. 1t was holiday in Dunlkirl. Ev-
erybody gathered to celebrate the paw
ing of block that had cost the city
nothing, and yet was considered to bs
a marvel of paving work. The mayor
delivered the opening address, and con-
had finally been discovered by which
public improvements could be made
without running the city into debt
Senator Vedder also addressed tue
meeting and told the people that he
had travelled over great part of the
world, and was free to say that that
newly paved block could not be sur
passed in any of the great cities he had
visited. And on the outskirts of the
crowd stood group of men who took
no part in the proceedings. not even APP
plauding the speakers, but whose faces
beamed with a smile that is only seen
on the faces of men who have carried
an idea to successful issue. The
speakers did not say SO from the stand.
but these men said to each other:

single tax works The people ard the
crowd are delighted with the results

THE WOMAN LAWYER,
Her Clients Are Not Chiefly Women .
Would be Supposed.

Her Clients Are Not Chiefly Women az
Would be Supposed.
A woman student of the law, wheth-
er in an office or law school, has some
peculiar experiences. To a single
woman among a class of men the di-
lemma of the lectures as to fitting
mode of address is amusing. Most of
them will gaze anxiously around. and.
fixing the eye upon the lone female,
with slight bow will open the dis
course with the word Gentlemen"
One professor was always careful and
courteous enough to begin with the
phrase: Lady and Gentlemen,'
1t is also amusing and gratifying to
see the refining effect of the lady's
entrance into the lecture hall or Ii
brary of the school. If the appraised
masculine feet do not at once and
voluntarily come down from the table
or back of the next chair they are as
sisted to their rightful place on the
floor by some fellow student. OF
course, there are some men who hearth
ly disapprove of woman's presence
within the walls of the law school and
are pleased to show their disapproval
in any way short of actually rude con-
duct. / have never known of system
atically rude behavior toward woman
law student
When the woman lawyer puts out her
shingle, or in modern fashion inscribes
her name on the marble tablets at the
entrance of her building, her first expe-
riences do not differ much from those
of her brothers who are just beginning.
Perhaps she has a few more ''cranl1s''
among her first clients, who go to her
because they think they will get more
sympathy from a woman" When,
sooner or later, they have to be shown
the door, their reproaches for her inhu-
man hard-heartedness are particularly
severe, because they expected better
things from woman"
Her clients are not, as many suppose,
chiefly women. On the contrary, she is
more likely to be employed by men,
who want to give her chance to show
what she can do. Therefore her cases
are as likely to be questions Of business
contracts as controversies that are con-
nected with matters popularity supposed
to be within woman's sphere.
When she appears in court the wom
an attorney finds the judges and the at
tending counsel as courteous and as
deferential as they would be in her
drawing-room. They will treat her as
an equal, except that they will assist
her by placing chairs, handing books
and papers and doing more favors for
her than for their male colleagues In
fact, they treat her very much as they
would treat the distinguished legal
lights of the age if they were within
the bar-that is with deferential
courtesy. This, of course, is only the
case when the woman lawyer behaves
as lady. If she assumes defiant and
bullying manner, as if to demand spe-
cial recognition, she will receive the
treatment she deserves. But such con-
duct is, l am happy to say, extremely
rare among our women at the bar, and
is much lamented by others who are in
public opinion weighed in the same bal
ance with such misguided PERSONS
