Webb Defends,

Leland ]. Webb, past commander-in.
chief of the Sons of Veterans, has re-
turned from Minneapolis where he at
tended the national encampment of that
order.
On his return home Mr.. Webb found
in his mail clipping from the Louis
vile Times of August 9th, which says:
"The g. o. p. has a goodly number of
strings to its bow. It has such auxil-
iaries as the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, Sons of Veterans, the Ladies' Aid
society, the Republican league and re-
publican clubs" Mr.. Webb says this
is false al far as the Sons of Veterans is
concerned, and he has written Q letter
to the Times to that effect, and infofm-
ing them that while he is q republican,
his successor as commander-in-ohief,
Barton S. Weeks, is a democrat. He
is first assistant district attorney of the
city of New York, appointed under a dem
ocratic administration. He is pres.
ident of the Tammany Hall club of
his district and is president of the
new New York democratic club.
In retiring from the highest position
in the order Mr.. Webb was presented
with beautiful gold star set with six dia-
monds and beautifully engraved.
Mr.. Webb will finish his duties by
seeing the publishing of the proceed
ings OF the national encampment, which
he will have published in Topeka.

Railroad Cases.

RailfOaO eases.
Three complaints before tho board Of
railroad commissioners were fled yes
to-day, coming from the Wichita Union
Stock Yards company, severally holding
that rates charged on live stock to the
Wichita Union stock yards market,
from points in Kansas. since August LIST,
are unjust, unreasonable and excessive;
secondly. asking that the Santa Fe and
the st. Louis & San Francisco Railroad
companies shall be compelled to make
Joint rates from all points tributary to
the market at Wichita; and thirdly,
complaining that the rates charged
from the Wichita Union stock yards
market to Kansas City on doubledeck
cars Of hogs, are unjust and unreasonable
and the charge made for services per-
formed il excessive on such shipment.
A petition from Latimer, Morris
county, prays that Rock Island agency
be established at that point.
A petition has also been received
from citizens of Tevis on the Missouri
Pacific railroad asking that stock yards
be erected there.
Adjutant General Roberts Gays, ir
reference to tho matter, that he had been
corresponding with Mock in reference
to the flag. He positively refuses to
sell the flag as he has it in trust and be-
ing collector of relics would not part
with it in any case. General Roberts
has in his possession battle flag car
ried by the Second Kansas infantry regi-
ment and it is torn with bullets and soiled
with the blood of those who carried it
On many a bloody battlefield. General
Roberts does not know of any other
Gag, but says it is possible another may
be extant.
s. s. McFadden was q member Of
the Second Kansas and says he knows
Of no other regimental flag except that
now in the possession of the military
department of the state. That he knows
to be the flag used by the regiment at
the battle of Wilson creek, and he also
said General Lyons body was never
wrapped in any flag. The flag in the
possession of the state belonged to
company b, but he thinks 1t was used
as the regimental flag through the cam
paign. He is inclined to think Mr..
Mock's flag is myth.

THE WHISKY WAREHOUSE LIE.

The man with the sub-treasury delir.
ium delights in that feeblest of all false.
hoods relating to the nature Of the
bonded warehouses for whisky. he
spins long and thrilling yarn about
how the distiller turns his whisky
over to the government and in return
gets certificate Of deposit, which he
takes to the bank, and on which, and
with which he gets 'all the money he
wants." The government is thus made
to appear as indorser at the bank for
the distiller, the amount for which in.
dorsement is made being equal to the
value of the whisky (say 20 cents per
gallon plus the amount of revenue tax
(ssy 70 cents per gallon, or total of
about dollar gallon. These figures
may not be absolutely accurate, but
they will answer the present purpose.
A glance at the law will show any man
how far from correct are the claims
made by the sub-treasury advocates on
this point. The facts are tina t the
distiller furnishes bis own warehouse
and makes it according to government
plans. The distiller then makes his
whisky and puts it in the warehouse
at his own risk as to leakage and loss
Of every sort. The government keeps
the door of the warehouse and not a
gallon of the liquor goes out until the
tax is paid. This is all the government
has to do with the matter. The distill-
er can only borrow money on the liquor
as he would if the liquor was not in
charge of the government. In fact he
cannot borrow so much as he could if
the liquor was liberated from the tax
and was therefore in no danger of being
confscated by the government. No
banker lends distiller one dollar by
reason Of the government being con-
nected with the property. All the
money lent is on the actural value of
the whisky or on the value of the mans
name who borrows the money and
makes the note. In short the bonded
warehouse system lacks every essential
feature of the sub-treasury scheme as
now being agltated; and the painful
part of it all is due to the fact that
those who allege to the contrary know
that they lie.

SMASHED BY A WATER PIPE.
A West Street Car Damaged, and a
Motormau Injured.

An accident occurred on the West Street
and North End Electric railway at West
and Lenora streets about Is o'clock on
Tuesday evening. As car No. 10 for
Queen Anne town was going up West
street at that point, it came in sight of a
wagon loaded with heavy water pipes,
which was slowly passing up the street
along the street railway track. Moss, the
motorman, and Emmons, the conductor,
expected that it would be out of the way
before the car reached it, and therefore
did not stop the car. The teamster did
not heed the sounding of the gong, and
when the car was nearly up TO the wagon,
Moss set the brakes. Before they could
stop the car it had run into the rear end of
the wagon. One Of the pipes, which pro-
jectcd over the end, Knocked of the dash
board and front platform, and broke the
door OF the car. II struck Moss with some
force on the leg, cutting it so severely that
he will be confined 10 his bed for several
days, and knocking him through the door
into the car. Fortunately no passengers
We're on the car, so that no other persons
were injured. The car was hauled TO the
power-house at Boulevard.
The conductor was suspended pending
an investigation as to the responsibility
for the accident.
