SPECIALS TO THE "CAPITAL.0

The specials to the Capital, which
made that sheet so ridiculous and
gave it such notoriety for unrelia-
bility and absolute classification dur
ing the campaign of 1890, are again
beginning to appear. Every Repub-
lican rally is an immense success, at
which Democrats and Peoples party
men alike come forward and renounce
their former party allegiance and
pledge support to the grand old party.
Every Peoples party rally is a miser-
able failure from which thepeople go
away disgusted. Such rot will have
the same effect this year that it
had in 1890. 1t will disgust all in
telligent and fair minded men. No
sensible man will for a moment be-
lieye that rally Of any party fails
to be represented by fair average
of the party strength, and all such
efforts at deception concerning the
numbers and enthusiasm of the peo-
pie will only rest upon those who
thus mistate facts. Let the Capital
continue in this course. Respectable
journals of its own party recognize
the fact that its pernicious policy has
always helped the cause it sought to
injure, and they are not slow to say
80.

The Kansas convention Of the Peoples party
has nominated state ticket upon which there is
not farmer, and an ex-coniederate colonel for
congressman at large, who has been Demo
crat. The Democrats were given one place, and
many OF them advocate the dropping Of all Ideas
Of fusion, while others advocate its endorse
ment. The Topeka Democrat, the leading Demo
cratic paper of the state, denounces fusion In
vigorous language. ge.-IRdiGnd State Journal.
The candidate for lieutanant gov
ernor, secretary of state, auditor,
state treasurer and congressman at
large, are farmers. If the Indiana
State Journal knew anything about
this matter it deliberately lied. If it
did not know it had no reason to
make the above statement, and could
have no motive for doing so except to
deceive it's readers.
It is not pretended that all Of the
candidates are farmers; nor is it pre-
tended that the Peoples party is a
farmers party. Could the Journal
and other papers of its ilk, take sufi-
cient time from their efforts to ex-
cite prejudice in the minds Of their
readers to notice the issues presented
in the ST. Louis platformG Or is
the Republican campaign to be based
upon prejudice alones

Is PROHIBITION THE ONLY IMPORTANT
QUESTION:

The Lawrence Record, in it's issue
Of June 25tb, has an editorial urging
upon the Republican state conven-
tion the adoption of a prohibition
plank in the state platform, from
which we clip the following:
The Record makes no threats. 1t is too deeply
devoted to the principle Of prohibition to forsake
the party which gave 1t to the state and which
has repeatedly pledged itself to its support, un-
til that party deliberately Stultihes itself by
abandoning this principle We cannot follow
coward into battle. There may be articles In
tine creed Of the party, adopted since we joined
1t at the beginning which we cannot endorse,
but we are willing to march under brave leaders
who display the uniform Of their party and the
badges Of their rank. When these are torn off,
and the record Of the past is thus painfully pre-
sented as accusing the cOwardice of the present,
we must be permitted to halt for counsel with
the multitude Of Republicans who hesitate to
follow longer party which strips Itself Of les
emblemS and drapes its ensigns to dlssrm the
hostility Of an already beaten enemy. We are
ready to fight under an alien flag with brave
leaders, rather than under draped and furled
cOlOrs, once our own and only standard.
We would ask the Record, in all
sincerity, if prohibition is the only
question upon which the Republican
party is to rest in the future? 1t has
abandoned its position upon the sill
yer question. II has stripped itself
of its emblems" and "drsped it's en-
signs" not "to dissrm the hostility of
an already beaten enemy" but at the
dictstion Of an sutocrstic money
power of which both of the old par
ties have been for years the willing
tools. The brave leaders of former
times are dead, and their uniform"
is not worn by their cowardly and
corrupt successors. Aside from the
question of prohibition, we are unable
to discover q single principle to which
the Republican party of to-day stands
committed and with which the teach
ings Of the Record are in accord.
And prohibition is not a principle of
the Republican party. Nationally it
has never received endorsement, and
the practices Of the party have been
uniformly in favor of the extension
of the liquor traffic. In this state it's
record has been one Of duplicity and
hypocrisy. We do not see how so
apparently sincere and honest a jour
nal can stand by that record.
The great issue upon which the
party bases it's claims of support in
the approaching campaign is the
policy of protection. With this the
Record is not in accord. In view,
then, Of the absence Of any living
issue to which the party is devoted,
IN view or lCS abandonment or Its
former principles upon the silver ques-
ton and Of its duplicity and hypoo-
risy upon the liquor question, we
should be pleased to have the Record
state specifically just what principles
in the present declared policy of the
Republican party it really does sp-
prove. Has not the time already
arrived when it should "halt for coun-
sci with the multitude Of former Re
publicans, who hesitate to follow
longer a party which strips itself Of
its emblems, and drapes it's ensigns"

nant and the leaders declared that tho
day Should DO celebrated in spite OF tho
prohibition issued by tho government.
Tho authorities expected trouble and
tho entire police force Of tho city were
ordered on duty. Tho J. day passed
quietly enough. but ut o'clock last
evening IN enormous crowd surrounded
the monument to the poet Halo, OH the
Carlplatz. The police attempted to dis.
perse the crowd, but they were resisted

wero then given to charge tho crowd
and desperate fighting followed. Tho
crowd wcrc armed with sticks and they
dealt many severe blows to tho gon
d'armes. Tho latter slashcd right and
left with thoir swords and finally, after
pitched buttlc, the crowd woro forced
TO retreat. Many Of tho rioters were
placed under arrest and 1t was thought
for q time that there would DO no fur

Tho vigilance OF the police was not
relaxed, however, and II was well it was
not. 1t was not long before tho crowd
assembled again. After amusing them
selves with tho police for interfering,
some OF tho crowd shouted "lct's mako
for tho Jows." Tho cry was taken up,
and with yells Of ito Josophstadt" (the
Jewish quartcr) tho crowd started in
that direction to vent their rage on tho

warned OF the proposed attack upon tho
Jews, and a detachment OF mounted
police had been dispatched to head oil
the rioters. Tho crowd marched on,
shouting and yelling, until they unox-
pectedly found their route blocked by
tho police. Nothing daunted, however,
they pressed OH eager to reach tho Jew
ish quarter. The police now acted with
decision. Squirting their horses they
dashed into tho crowd needless OF who
they rode down, and slashing here,
there and everywhere with their swords.
The animals, infuriatod by their pain,
dashed furiously among the crowd, their
iron shod hoofs striking down and scri-
ously injuring largo number OF the
rioters. The rioters lost compactness

Failure Of IN English Syndicato's Schemc
In Lower California

in Lower California;
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 29.-It is
now generally believed in Mexico that
the Mexican International Company,
which is composed of English capital
lists, has failed in sly game to get con-
troll OF the harbor OF San Ruentine in
Lower California. The International
Company evidently is merely cloak
for Great Britain's plan to secure q
coaling station. W. P. Sutton, tho
United States consul general for North
ern Mexico with headquarters at Nuevo
Laredo, Mex, arrived hore yesterday
from Ensada dc Todos Santos, in Lower
California. Speaking of tho Mexican
International Company schemehc said:
u did not see any indication OF SER
ious or systematic work about the
place. 1t looks to mo at present like q
decided failure. This company has a
large tract of land, perhaps 100000 to
$4,000, 900 acres, which were originally
granted to a surveying company, in the
grants are made by tho Mexican gov
ernmcnt; that is, the surveying party
gets one-third OF all the public lands it
locates in the district covered by the
charter; tho Other two-thirds are for
the general and state governments in
equal shares. In this case, how
ever, the entire district surveyed
was acquired by tho purchase Of the
Governments interest in these lands.
Tho district was supposed to contain
valuable tracts OF mineral ground, and,
in fact, embraces many mines; but as
the company has merely acquired the
snrface right OF the property, and has
no exclusive mining rights, the mines
are all subject to announcement by out
slders. Just what the present owners OF
this white elephant" are going to do
with it is not apparent. The northern
boundaries OF the grant run very close
othe international limo, but do not
reach it."

DETROIT, March 20.-Tho examination
OF "princo" Michael, his 'spiritualwifc'
Eliza Court, and number OF his fol-
lowers who wero arrested yesterday,
will reveal horrible state Of affairs.
Tho result OF the examination, which is
not by any means complete, is simply
astounding. Itahows that in tho midst
OF a respectable community in this en-
lightencd ago has been harbored under
the guiso OF religion a most infamous
nest Of iniquity, infested with moral
and civil crimes OF tho most heinous
nature.
The startling disclosures made to the
assistant prosecuting attorney dissolyes
tho halo Of religious fanaticism which
has hung about Prince Michuel's head.
and in measure protected him, and
shows him 10 be vicious and utterly
immoral brute, guilty OF crimes that arc
little short OF ficndish.
Tho case OF Bernice Brehcl, 4 very
pretty girl OF fifteen, is ono OF the har-
rowing crimes for which Prince Michael
will have to answer. With tho assist
anco OF Eliza Court ieis said this inno-
cent child was deliberately debauched
by Prince Michael. Wives OF tho
doluded followers OF this cunning
iscoundrelhavc likewise been dobauchcd
and young women have submitted to
ruin under Prince Michaol's teaching OF
spiritual marriage.
This morning large crowd gathered
about the municipal building, it having
been rumored that Prince Michael was
to DO .arraigncd in the police court.
Tho streets about the building were
packed with men and women who re-
peated the stories Of Michael's crime
and many a threat OF lynching was
heard. The crowd. however, was dis.
appointed, as tho. authorities decided
not to arraign the long haired prisoner
this morning.
Bernice Brchcl was brought to the
police court by prosecutor Springer to
make complaint against tho prince.
She had scruplcs about making the
complaint and accordingly Mr. Springer
swore out the formal indictment accus-
ing Michael Of debauching the girl.
