AN OLD TIMER.
Of the AdVOCate.

To the EDITOR Of the Advocate.
In your issue of April 27, / noticed an
article from G. @. Robbins advocating the
nomination Of Judge Vrooman for con-
gresham at large. That Rrticle states
that the above named gentleman was a
reformer "When Willltts, PETER, MrB.
Lease and all our congressional delegs-
tion, excepting possibly Davis, were at
war with the principles they now en-
brace" Allow me to state, Mr.. Editor,
chat your correspondent should have ex-
cepted another from your congressional
delegation, and that one is your own
fellow townsmaD, Hon. j. G. Otis.
/ have had the pleasure Of Mr.. Otis
acquaintance about four years and was
but child when he enlisted in the re-
form work, but from information gained
from old Changers and GreenbaCkerS l
have learned that Mr.. Otis antedates
such veteran reformers as A. j. Streeter
and Col. Norton, Of the Chicago Sentinel,
IL not Gen. Weaver, having left che g. O.
p. some years before Peter Cooper was
nominated by the GreenbackerS for presi-
dent.
was Q delegate from Greenwood
county, Kan, to the union labor con-
gregsional convention that convened In
Emporla at the same time that the Re-
publican convention that nominated
Harrison Kelley the first time, met there.
Myself and one other Greenwood county
delegate went there intending, il posi-
bic, to nominate Mr.. Otis to the position
he now occupies, as we deemed him the
veteran Greenbacker Of the Fourth dis
trlct, II not of the state Of Kansas, but
we were overwhelmed In that convention
by those who wanted to fuse with the
Democrats, and adjourned without nomi-
mating anyone.
have no acquaintance with the Hon.
Mr.. Davis or Judge Vrooman, and while
they may be the equal Of Hon. John, G.
Otis, doubt II he has ssuperior In Kan
Bas, or the United States, as a veteran In
our ranks, an eloquent expounder of our
principles, and a tirelesS and persistent
worker in our cause. Respectfully,

WE WELCOME HONEST DISCUSSION.

WE WELUUME hUNEST DISCUSo1UN'
To the Editor of THE ADVOCATE.
/ am q close reader of your valuable
paper and have been pleased to note the
candor manifested on both sides in your
discussion with H. A. Higgins, and while
/ fully endorse the position taken by
THE ADVOCATE and cannot agree with
Mr.. Fl. In some Of his views, yet ad-
mlre the honesty and candor set forth in
his arguments. While we may not see
just alike in some things, yet the only
true way Of getting at the facts in the
case, Is to discuss the measures at issue
from an impartial standpoint, exchang-
ing views upon matters that are of vital
Importance to the masses Of the people
Of our nation. BY so doing, we may gain
many valuable suggestions even from
our opponents. Besides, in 80 doing we
become more familiar with the issues of
the times, and we hope to see this
method adopted by other able writers on
both sides. The slang and abuse in
dulged in by some papers mot THE AD-
vooATE) is no argument, but only q
brutal TRADE upon honest people and
principles.
l was also pleased to see the desire for
truth manifested by "Republlcan" in
your issue of April 20, and as long as
men will seek the truth and light we
feel assured that 1t will be made plain
unto them. However, on the other hand,
we find many hide bound old psrtissns
who will not believe the truth though
they see with their own eyes, as long as
the ring bosses declare it Otherwise, thus
making their subjects political hand
organs, ready at all times to grind out
whatever kind Of music the Office seekers
and plutocrats may dictate.
We are not quite so ready as Mr.. Hig-
gins to concede honesty of purpose to
some of the old party leaders, as their
own words In many cases in former years
condemn their present actions, and we
are strongly Of the opinion that hush
money has played prominent part In
controlling the actions of many Of our
congressman, as well as other state and
national officials, many Of whom have risen
in the space Of few years from poverty
to place among the millionaires of the
nation. We know that their salaries, al.
though large, are but a mere plttance
toward the accumulation Of such vast
wealth, and we know that most Of them
have had no other visible means of &C
qulring wealth. The question arises
where and how did they get ltH We
would like to have some Of them answer
this. We are Of the opinion that it has
been done by unjust legislation, both d.
rectly and indirectly, in their own inter
ests and against the interests of the peo
pie at large.

bomb she'll into the camp Of the unfaith-
full last week, in publishing Sol Miller's
circular In relation to the reduced rail-
way assessment last year. l am glad to
see you do this, let the blow fall where
it may. The one charming oasis in the
political desert of one of our great men
was: "Let no guilty man escape" So
we should all say now. II our man Is
guilty with the others, he should suffer
with the others, and we should be the
last persons to try to shield him.
There Is, however, one thing connected
with that railway reduction, which you
and your readers may not have noticed,
and which makes the reduction all the
more ridiculous and unwarrantable. It
is found In the eighth annual report Of
the railroad commissioners for 1890. In
that report the commissioners so far for
get their duties to the people as to pro-
ceed with first class stump speech in
defense Of the railroads as against all ad-
verse criticism. The reader is referred
to pages 10 and 20 for the truth Of this
assertion. 1t is there said, among other
things:
The railroads of Kansas form parts of ex-
tended systems, which reach into other
states and territories, embracing in all
18,5Ol.51 miles reported to this Office June
80, 1889. OF this mileage S,775 miles
were within the state of Kansas, leaving
9,746 miles of these systems lying beyond
the boundaries of the state.
The amount of bonded debt covering the
18, 5O1.51 of road for the year ending June
80, 1889, was $487, POI, ,62l. The amount OF
stock covering the same mileage was re-
ported at $428, ,635, ,526, making total OF
bonds and stock of $915, ,S37,147.
It has been quite industriously circulated
that this aggregate sum represented the
actual capitalization of the railroads Of
Kansas, upon which the people of this state
are taxed to pay interest and dividends.
II represents, in fact, the bonds and stock
of railroads, the larger portion of which
are situated in other states and territories
reaching from Chicago and st. Louis to the
Pacific states.
The actual amount of bonded debt rest
ing upon the railroad mileage of this state
alone, reported for 1889, was $1S9, ,75S, ,16l
or nearly 80 per cent. of the whole. ThC
stock upon Kansas mileage is in very
nearly the same proportion to the tots
amount of stock covering the whole system
Iof 1851 miles as the percentage of bonded
debt bears to the whole.
Now, having the statement of the com
mlSsioners, we must do q sum In order Il
find the amount Of stock resting on the
Kansas mileage. They tell US what the
bonded debt ls, and assure US the stock
Is In the same proportion. Therefore, al
$4S7, 90, ,691 (the total bonded debt) is Il
$1S9,758,161 (the bonded debt on the
Kansas mileage) so Is $428, ,6S5,526 (the
total stock) to the stock on the Kansas
mileage. Applying the simple rule o.
three we find the stock on the Kansal
mileage to be $166,949,35S. This amoun
added to the bonds on the Kansal
mileage gives q total Of bonds RnC
stock on the Kansas mileage Of $3.50, ,707,
$40. This sum represents the actua
cost Of the Kansas mileage, according II

CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL.

Allegheny Republicans Already Figuring
on the Municipal Elections in the
Spring-George shiras III. Wants a
Seat in the Select Observation-Disclosures
Confident.
Alleghenians have already commenced
the discussion of the Council elections and
the Reformers are boldly asserting their
victory at that period will be overwhelm-
ing.
In theFifth ward where the fight will prob
ably be the fercest, George Shiras, Ill, will
make the contest for the chair in the
Select Council against James H.
Lindsay, the present occupant, who
will run TO succeed himself
In the First ward Select Council
man Arthur Kennedy will have an antag-
onist in William Josenhanse, the
Reform candidate. Robert Baxter,
who is now in the City Treasurer's Office,
will be the Republican candidate for a
seat in the Common Council
In the Second ward Reformer Harvey
Henderson will run against Select Council
man Henry Lowe. There is also much
feeling in this ward, and the contest is ex-
pected to be bitterly contested by both the
Reformers and the ants.
The recent contest In the Fourth ward be-
tween Fielding and Bredin, in which the
latter was successful in succeeding Select
Councilman Kennedy at his taking the MAY
orally, gave the Reformers of the Fourth
ward some indication of the labor necessary
to elect their candidate, and as result
they are beginning to map out plan for
the election of VIM. Fielding to succeed
Councilman Bredin. The Fourth ward is
considered slightly pivotal and will have
some little effect with the neighboring
wards at the time of election.

A FREAK BOARDING HOUSE.
What a Badly MuddIed New Yorker Saw in
One of These Places.

What a Badly MuddIed New Yorker Saw in
One of These Places.
A New York topper, badly muddled, at
midnight got into the house adjoining that
in which he lived, and being somewhat
thirsty, descended to the dining room where
pitcher of ice water usually stood on the
table, says the New York Ledger.
The house is occupied as "freak" board
ing house, where some of the living attrac-
tions of dime museums find rest and food.
A supper is nightly served to the "freaks, Z"
after their return tr ON the various halls on
the Bowery, where they are exhibited.
This meal was in progress when the topper
staggered in, and he was somewhat startled
on 'beholding the strange guests. The
double-headed woman was ogling the living
skeleton; the giantess and the dwarf, hav-
ing refreshed themselves, were playing
eIchre Tor nickels; the India rubber man
was engaged, between mouthfuls of food, in
an angry dispute with the muscular Sam
son who holds thousands of pounds sus-
pended from his iron jaw. "Wbat is this?"
exclaimed the inebriate, looking around.
He imagined that he had stumbled into
Dante's Inferno, and was glad when he had
made hasty exit.
