TOPEKA EGGS AND ROCKS.

The Democratic Flambesu club
which gave an exhibition in this city
on the evening of Gen. Weaver's
meeting, was assaulted with rocks
and eggs, and at least three of the
men were quite seriously injured. Oh
course republican papers claim that
politics had nothing to do with the
outrage. The Capital With its usual
dishonesty, even disputes the fact
that any eggs were thrown. Probably
the men who were assaulted would
have preferred eggs to rocks, but the
fact is they were treated to both, the
Capital to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. The election is over now, and
we cannot be accused Of publishing
these things to influence votes. We
publish them to illustrate some
things that we have before stated in
these columns. We publish them to
show the spirit that sctuates the re-
publican managers and the republi-
can press during political campaign.
The Capital failed to find out that
any such assault had been made until
it had gone outin the associated press
dispatches, and the people had
learned all about it through other
sources. The Capital is a very enter
priaing newspaper. After all the
other papers in the country had pub
lished an account of the affair, the
vigilant reporters of this exponent of
Kansas republicsnism got themselves
together. and fixed up the following
account of it:
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-11-09

in It's platforms or it's press or
through its stump speakers il could
be shown anywhere TO have advocated
lawlessness or anarchy, then the
Capital might plead Justification; but
instead Of this being true, the Peo-
pls's party is composed of the former
republicans and democrats of the
state, the rank and file who have done
the voting for those parties. These
men have honestly concluded that the
dominant party of the state has not
been true to their interests-that il
has played into the hands of the cor
poratlons at the expense OF the peo-
pie, and they have revolted against
these abuses. They are still the same
men that they were before They
have not become revolutionists thirst
ing for gore. They are still good
citizens Notwithstanding they have
forsaken the republican party, and
they do not deserve the treatment
they have received. It is time for
honest men and women Of all parties
to begin to think and to anslyze the
methods and the purposes Of those
who assume the responsible positions
Of teachers Of public sentiment, and
to determine independently Of party
bias, whether the influence of such
teachers is for good or for evil.

AN OUTRAGE.
THE FLAMBEAU CLUB STONED AND EGaED
DURING THEIR PARADE.

THE FIAMBEAU CLUB STONED AND EaaED
DURING THEIR PARADE.
Thousands of people thronged the streets
TO Lee the fireworks display made by the
Democratic Flsmbeau club. It was the first
exhibition Of The kind this year in Topeka,
and il was worth seeing. Kansas avenue was
gorgeous sight while the parade lasted,
and the air was flled with music, smoke,
and the splitting racket Of hundreds of
tin horns blown by little boys who had
saved them over from Halloween. Mar
shall's band headed the parade, and the
Dispatch band followed the Aambeaux,
while behind them came about twenty Ave
transparencies containing political mottoes,
mostly on local affairs. Probably 10000
people saw the parade.
A very unfortunate eff air occurred during
the parade. Il is nd mned by all parties,
and democratic members Of the club and
others agree that the fault rests with some
young ruRaus for whom nobody is reSpOnsi-
blS. Az the procession passed the Grand
opera house going south, stones we're thrown
from the sidewalk at the Aambesu club.

ANOTHER CAMPAIGN FALsEHooD SENT OUT
FROM TOPEKA.
A report appearing in the Kansas City Star
last evening that the Populist procession
ThOrSday evening in honor of Gen. Weaver
was assaulted with eggs is wholly without
foundation; no eggs we're thrown. Two or
three h"odlums in the crowd Of people who
followed the parade threw stones at the
Democratic Fsmbesu club, and three men
were slightly hurt. No one will say this was
not an outrage, but the incident was of suOh
little moment that the police were not notl-
fed. No one knows who threw the stones,
az no effort to find them has been made,
but il is not claimed by any one that the
members of any political party were respon-
sible for the sCOundrelly act. The attempt
of the Kansas City Star to make political
capital out Of the matter will fall fat.
The State Journal, which aims to
be much more fair and truthful in its
methods, in its first issue after the oo-
currence, had the following account
of it:

REPUBLICAN, TNFAMIEs CON-
SrANTLY COMING TO LIGHT.

In our last issue we published the
letters and facts so far as known OF
the plot to asssssinate Jerry Simp-
son. Republican papers everywhere
pronounced the story fake origi.
mated by Jerry himself for political
effect, but the well-known infamy Of
the leaders Of Kansas repnblicanism
caused suspicion to rest upon them
as being at the bottom OF scheme to
get rid of man who is probably the
subject of more bitter hatred than
any other man in the state. De-
Spairing Of defeating him at the polls
there is no longer any question that
his assassination was deliberately de-
termined upon.
The Wichita Beacon Of November
Z has the following, which throws
gleam Of light upon this subject:
An affidavit, properly executed and made
by William Baker, reputable farmer liv-
ing few miles south Of Anthony, reached
this city last evening, that shows how the
republicans are trying to get away from the
letters that were discovered looking 10 the
assassination Of Jerry Simpson. The man
who made the Cffer to pay Baker a large
sum OF money II he would admit that he
took the letters to Representative CoulsOn,
and that IL was fake, is president OF bank
at Anthony, and is a prominent republican
working for the election Of CHESTER I. Long.
The affidavit is explanatory. II is as fol-
lows:

with a stone. Theodore Yokom, James
Fitzgibbons and Thomas Fitzsimmons were
also struck with flying missiles. Fnzgib.
bons was the most seriously hurt.
John Gsrdom, who was firing rockets for
the club. caught young man about 1S years
cd, who was seen throwing stone, and
treated him to q severe and well-deserved
kicking. After che parade the members Of
the club held an indignation meeting at
their hall, but concluded that il was useless
30 attempt to do anything.
The parties who committed this offenae
ought to be arrested and prosecuted, and
they probably will be.
Charles T. Spencer said this afternoon:
"It was an outrage, and the perpetrators
will be severely punished if the police can
catch them. They haven't evidenCA enough
TO convict anybody yet. but are working ON
the case. Nob,dy blsmes the republicans,
as party, for the outrage"
Councilman Albert Ernest said: "Oae
fellow threw egga. I'd like TO catch him
and give him thrashing. My shoes were
covered with egg-nog when got home.
We've got two Of the parties located, a white
man and darkey. AZ soon as we get the
evidence, they will be arrested"
The democrats are pretty fore over the
mater, and while they say that OF course
none Of the Influential Republicans would
Countenance such sC'ion, they say that they
believe it was republicans who threw the
missiles. The Journal believes il voices
public opinion when it says that republi-
cans are just as anxious to see the sCoun-
drels caught and punished as are the
democrats. We don't want any Georgia
methods in Kansas.
Now, these are very fine stories.
Honest men of all parties would be
glad to believe that the politics of this
country have not degenersted to the
level of the hoodlums. Everybody,
without regard 70 party, would be
glad to believe that such outrages as
are here described are impossible in
this country, except by irresponsible
outlaws; but let us look at this mat
ter, now that the election has passed,
and what we say Of it cannot be con-
strued in the light of political bun
combe, with the same candor that we
would look at any ordinary occur
renee IN our community. Suppose
that instead of a democratic or Peo-
ple's party fambesu club it had been
a republican procession that was as
Saulted with eggs and rocks. Would
the CupitGl and the State Journal
have been so particular to impress
upon the minds OF their readers that
there was no political significance in
1t? Would they have insisted as
strenuously as they have in this
instance, that the outrage was perpe-
trated by irresponsible hoodlums, and
that no political psrty was to blame
for it? Well, hardly. The eggingof
Gen. Weaver and his party way down
in Georgia has had columns devoted
TO its details, the whole purpose of
which has been to identify the organ
Ized democracy Of the state with it.
Cartoons have been published pre-
senting the same thing to the eye.
How does it happen that republican
papers here in Kansas are able to get
all these minute details of ali affair Of
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-11-09

politics in iti The pretense is toe
transparent.
The truth of the matter Is there ls
politics IN it in both cases.
The republican party Of the north
and the democratic party OF the
south are allies in this struggle of the
people against plutocracy. As ex-
Senator Ingalls, expressed it in his
celebrated New York World inter
view:
"These great communities, that
were only separated by the system OF
slavery, have, since its destruction,
been aliensted by factions that have
estranged them only to prey upon
them, and to maintain political su.
premacy by their alienation"
The politicians Of both sections
have pursued the same methods and
have had the same purposes in view.
The prejudices of the people have
been wrought upon to the utmost, and
political campaigns have been con-
Quoted by appeals to the baser
passions of men rather than to their
reason and their judgment. The re-
suits of these political methods are
inevitable, and they appear in these
outrages upon decency both north
and south. The politicians and the
partisan press Of both sections and of
both parties are responsible for them.
No one will be base enough to charge
these things to the masses of the
people composing those parties.
1t IS especially to be deplored that
so disgraceful an occurrence should
take place in this capital city OF our
state. Topeka is a city of culture
and of more than ordinary refine
ment Every respectable citizen must
feel the disgrace Of such an outrage;
and it will be well, now that the cleo.
tion is passed, il the people can coolly
and deliberately reflect upon the in
Auences that have led to it's perpetra-
tion. We lay this influence directly
at the door of the Topeka Capital.
Ever since the revolt of the people of
Kansas against the controlling ele-
ments Of the republican party, that
hypocriticaI and mendacious sheet
has been denouncing the farmers and
those associated with them in this
political movement as anarchists, re-
pudiators of their honest debts, and
pad class of citizens on general pnn-
,iples. 1t has neglected no opportu-
llty to appeal to the prejudices and
;he baser passion Of the lawless ele-
nent in this community, that being
he floating element which could
,eadlly be influenced by such meth
DDS, and these disgraceful trsnsac-
ions are a natural outgrowth of its
oernicious teachings. We cannot
% accused at this stage OF the game
If making these accusations for po-
itical effect. We make them coolly
Ind deliberately as the conclusion of
lonest judgment. The Capital is an

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the nut
cous lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we can not cure by taking Halls Ca

Gen. w. G. Veasey and Col. j. G..
Stearns of Vermont, accompanied by
NJ. II. Bush and w. p. Henry of Bos-
ton and l.. S. Emory of Washington,
April 10th located the position for the
monument which the Sixteenth YER
mont Volunteers Infantry will erect
on the Gettysburg battlefield to mark
its station during the battle. The site
chosen is near Plum Run, about mid
way between Hancock Avenue and the
Emmitsburg Road.
The regiment was portion of Stan
nard's Vermont brigade, and took part
in the final repulse of Pickett's Virgin
ians. Gen. Veasey was the colonel of
the regiment.
Two years ago the state of Vermont
dedicated a $4,000 monument to all
the regiments it had in this battle, but
this monument will be erected by pri-
vate contributions.
The memorial is to consist of huge
boulder, about ten feet high, bearing
the State coat of arms, and a polished
face with appropriate inscriptions.
The dedicatory exercises will occur
during the National Encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic at
Washington the first week in Septem-
