Mason, and a petition from Masons to
the Queen through him would be pre-
sented by him directly to the Queen.
Although more than 100000 loyal

AN ALLIANCE RECEPTION.

The Shawnee County Alliance and
other industrial organizations arranged
for a reception to Senator PETER and
Congressman Otis previous to their de.
parture for Washington. The reception
took place at Lincoln Post hall on Tues
day, November 10th, and a goodly num-
Der of members of the various organiza-
tions were present to participate in the
exercises of the occasion. It was not
known previous to the meeting by those
having the arrangements in charge that
Senator PETER would not be able to be
present, and his absence was a dlsap-
pointment to everyone. His wife and
several members of his family were pres
ent, however, and the following telegram
received by Mr.. Heath, of the Kansas
Farmer, expresses his appreciation of
the honor intended in the reception:
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 10, 1891.
q. A. HEATH:-Please express to Alliance
meeting my profound appreciation of their
confidence and respect. It is impossible
for me to be present in the flesh, but will
be there in spirit. May the Fathers bles-
sing be upon you. W. A. PEFRER.
A most bountiful feast was provided,
and was heartily enjoyed by all present,
after which the following toasts were
proposed and responded to:

countries 10 the different temper in which
the elevation Of the working classes is
approached by politicians. Here, how
the matter is viewed from Jay Gould,
who says: "D--n the public" down
wards, / will allow you to say. There,
no politician but what proposes at least
desire to improve and elevate the work
erS, desire shown TO be at least partially
sincere by the legislation passed by the
British parliament. In great Britain
politicians as q rule have no salaries and
work for honor; here they work for
money and self only. Whether the paid
politician will be ever q success is doubt
full. Look at home or Canada, or Aus
tralia. The only pure paid legislature
know of q had forgotten 1t for the mo-
ment) is that Of Switzerland, and there
the are paid mere pittance.
The habit Of running down Great
Britain and representing everything done
there in the worst light is a deplorable
habit In this country. / have known
men here after having given assurance
to such talk deny in the same breath
that they had said anything amiss; so
confirmed has the abominsbIe habit ap-
parently become as to be unconsciously
practlced.
Pau Blouett MAX O'RelD speaks of it
as fact inexcusable and as possibly
owing to q want Of clvilizstiOn-sO he
says. A friend of mine an Oxford uni
Versity man, who has resided here rather
longer than have, and who has been on
the move very often--quite agrees with
my view of this cultivation of ill-feeling
towards and Misrepresentation of every
thing British, the justifable cause for
which none Of us can fathom.
My Oxford friend also entirely agrees
with me as to the extraordinary ideas
prevalent in Kansas anent Great Britain
and the empire generally. So you see /
am in good company In my views of the
situation. Yours faithfully,

battle is now before US. Great pressure will
DC brought upon your Representatives in
the Fifty-second Congress. We shall be
called upon to lift aloft the Peoples party
banner amid opposition upon the right hand
and upon the left. We must stand Arm
(like the old Spartan band) amid the tauntg
and hisses of willy foe. We shall have
heavier guns pointed at US than the Repub-
hcanS of our state have been able to com
mand. But history tells US that che little
agricultural David, with his Alliance sling
and smooth stone from gurRlinR brook
slew the mighty Goliath of che Philistines,
and gained victory for Israel. Who shall
say that the Peoples party of to-day is NOT
like David Of old, able to conquer that
DemO-RepublicO giant, the money power,
by hurting the freeman's ballot square in
his face, and thus emsncipate labor from
the thraldom Of mammon. Truth is mighty
and in the end win triumph.
The power Of money to oppress must be
crushed out. The spirit of America must
be checked. The will of the people must
be the supreme law Of the land. Education
and light is what the voters of our country
need. Ignorance, prejudice and selAshness
are the three stumbling blocks in the way
Of human progress. The Peoples party Of
to-day stands for principle and patriotism,
for progress and prosperity, for peace and
protection to home and humanity.

An Additional Shortage of s13s, Ts8 .o8 Reported, Though Woodruff May Have an Equity

More than five months ago the state burning board, in compliance with an act Of the legislature, began an investi- gation into the books and accounts of ex- Treasurer Woodruff. MT. J. H. Shoppach, one of the most efficient and faithful accountants in the state, was employed on the part of the state and J. l.. Bay was designated as the repre- sentative of ex-Treasurer Woodruff The investigation has, without doubt, been the most difficult ever made into the affairs of the treasury, and to the credit of the burning board be it said the investigation has been most thorough and exhaustive.
 The bottom was reached Wednesday and tEe result obtained.
 The official report of the board gives the additional shortage as S13S, ,7s9 95.
 After reciting the organization of the boaId over five months ago, with Gov ernor Eagle AS president, Auditor Dun- lop and Secretary of State B. B. Chism IS members, anu J. H. Shoppach as clerk, the report says:

 It appears that of ali the packages of state scrip rendered to the board by the ex-tre asurer none are so enclosed in the wrappers used when presented to the joint committee of the general assem- bly, last winter, but 1t seems that these scrip packages have been all re- ar ranged and other wrappers supplied, while all other funds rendered in pack ages were rendered in the same wrap pers as when rendered to said com- mittee; and 1t has occurred to the boaid that in the presentation of funds rendered on the state scrip account, the same was presented in such manner as was calculated to cause the greatest con fusion and trouble in reaching conclu- sion as to what was proper tender and what was not. That this was intentional we do not assert, yet we do state that 1t appears to the board that if the same effort had been made to properly classify and assort the funds before presenting them, as was apparently exercised in confusing the same, much time and a great deal of labor would have been spared the board.

 In view of the many irregularities and complications relating to the question of interest on state scrip which has been tt ndt red by the ex-treasurer, and for which interest he claims credit in this settlement to the amount of $73, 3,5OS, IA, and from the fact that we have been unable to ascertain from the records what part of his receipts at any given time was interest bearing and what part was non interest state scrip, the board has determined that they cannot In justice to the state ac- cept said amount of state scrip interest as proper tender. While the board is clearly of The opinion that Maj. Wood- ruff is entitled to credit for very large part of the interest claimed, it is equally clear that he is not entitled to the whole amount, but just where to draw the line 1t is Impossible to determine; therefore, this whole question, together with other questions remaining at Issue in this con- troversy, the board feels constrained to remit to the courts for adjustment.

In satisfaction of this balance he has ten- dered to the board In Pulaski county scrip S2S6.69, and in Little River county scrip S31, making total of S3lG 69.
 This tender was not accepted.
 The ex- treasurer also rendered on this account: 234 No. 6 coupons from per cent. funding bonds, series 1869, S7050. 19 No. coupons from per cent. fund.- ing Londs, series 1869, $570. 35 No. 2 coupons from per cent. funding bonds, series 1s69, Sl050 being 2SS coupons at $50 each, amounting to SS640.
 These coupons had previously been terdered on sinking fund account, but were withdrawn and rendered on this account. Upon careful investigation the board became satisfied that these cou- pons were all redeemed by ex- Treasurer Henry Page, and that Major Woodruff is not charged with any part of the same. He is therefore, not entitled to credit for this tender, and Il was not accepted.
 On this account there WAS also ten- dered by ex-Treasurer Woodruff, 6 per cent. funding bond No. 290, series 1870, Sl 0, o; thirty eight coupons attached to same (mstured) $50 each, S1, lao; max ing total of $2,140.

All ,be:e bonds are mutilated by punching, and are shown by the bond register as having been redeemed, but how or for what purpose Is not stated. Bond No. 42l Is endorsed in red ink, 'scaneelled January P, 1881, from Parker & Wor- then, agents"
 Not ao cepted.
 However, the board Is of the opinion that Maj. Woodruff may have equities in these bonds, four bonds which might be recognized if the same had been ten- dered on the sinking fund account, in lieu of coupons, as was suggested by the board to Mir. Bay, but which sug- gestion was declined.
 With package of miscellaneous funos' were also found five other small packages containing mutilated bond scrip aggregating SS,929.S0.
 This scrip we find upon investigation to have been redeemed with currency by order of the state debt board, and that ex-I'reasurer Woodruff received credit for the currency.
