McAleney Speaks.

The Kansas City Gazette seems
terribly excited because | attempted
to show up some of the rottennesS
which existed in Topeka last winter.
1t speaks in scathing terms of the
"brazen impudence with which he ac-
knowledged that he allowed himself
to be approached with an offer of
money" and of 1.-THE disgrace brought
upon the county he represents by
such confession"
To those on the outside this sounds
eminenty proper, but it comes with
amazingly good grace from a paper
whose secretary and business mana
ger spent the best part of the week on
the floor Of representative hall lobby
ing, in the stricteSt sense of the term,
against the Taylor anti-lottery and
gambling bills, and who, as soon as he
found that a subpoena had been issued
for him, left the state on a prolonged
visit fer fear he might be called upon
to tell what he knows about the use
of money for Legislative purposes"
and whose president and editor is liv-
ing in dread of a similar summons
fearing that he may be called upon
to explain how he came to act as mu-
tual friend for Joe Hudson and AL
Burgard at the time "Glass-HOuse
Joe" thought he was running for state
printer and Al was Offering $500 per
capita for five POpulist members to
join the Hudson ranks, and who used
his telephone frank to the utmost
limit to aid his secretary and business
manager to secure sufficient influence
to kill the Taylor bills.
To the initiated this complaint is
but the wall of the hypOcrite and the
danger of his disgrace is, so far as the
Gazette is concerned, more nearly per-
sOnal than local.
/ can promise that if | succeed with
my undertaking the disgrace will
be properly located and the commun-
ity will not be called on to suffer, but
will profit immensely thereby.
| hope the public will suspend judg-
ment until all the facts are brought
TO light, and then place the blame
where it belongs.

Adjutant General Artz accompanied
the railroad assessors last week but
left his uniform and shoulder-straps
at home. He is a hail fellow well met,
and those who expected to see a hOrid
anarchist with his pockets full Of dy-
Mantle, were agreea5ly surprised to
meet such plain, genial, anassuming
courteous gentleman. Mr.. Artz is a
man of the people, and has spent his
whole life in battling for the interests
of the masses and against the classes,
and therefore could not be otherwise
than an Openhearted, good citizen.
We hope that more of our citizens
may have an opportunity to make his
acquaintance at no distant day.

1t was not the record that hurt Mr..
ShOwalter's conscience, it was the
VOICES headlines. In other words.
the act itself did not bother his con-
science so much as the comment it
provoked.
Really Mr.. Showalter should be ex-
cused to some extent. His exturtions
were just at the close of the term,

The report of the Wellington city

All of the Republican victories were

However, we do not wish to deprive

Mr.. ShOwalter, lbeg pardon, we

such Il character as to suit The de-
praved tastes of our readers" They
seem to have suited pretty well, Col.
Onel. As to the ''depraved tastes of

scheme and worked royalty, only there
was not enough of them. There was
majority still against him when the
votes were counted.
Col. ShOwalter is unable to under
stand why Mr.. Briedenthal should
reflect" on him because of anything
the Capital might say in its columns.
Mr.. ShOwalter is not so innocently ig-
norant Of the fact that as Deputy
Bank Examiner he was part of the
Republican administration, just as
Mr.. Briedenthal is now part of the
Populist administration. And then,
it was the record that cast the "re-

Mr.. John T. ShOwalter says in a
letter to our worthy morning cOntem-
pOrary: Il admire the Capital for the
gallant fight it is making against the
fraudulent pretenderS who have float
ed to the surface in the sO-called
reform movement, like putrid apples
and potatoes IN hotel swill barrel. -
Since most of the pOpulist, whum Mr..
ShOwalter calls fraudulent pretend

lican party, his metaphor that they
have fOated to the surface from a
swill barrel, is both apt and striking

The Medicine Lodge Index gives
the following explanation of Jerry
Simpsons vote on the antl-option bill,
not to satisfy the opposition, but its
readers:
This bill originated in the house
and passed, then was amended and
passed by the senate. Being return
ed to the house the amendments we're
debated and the bill referred 10 the
committee on agriculture. This
committee reported the bill back to
the house favOrably. Motion was
made TO suspend the rules and concur
in the amendments. This motion
was lost, Simpson voting against ii.
The enemies of the bill had 50 en-
gineered the matter that owing 10
the limited time remaining either
this or the Strip bill, both requiring
much discussion. must 60 by the
board. Simpson was between two
fires. A vote for this motion meant
a vote against the opening Of the
Strip. Whichever way he voted, he
was bound to be attacked by the OPP
position press and he used his best
judgment. While we do not follow
implicitly in the footsteps Of Jerry
Simpson or any other man, we relieve
in giving him a fair hearing before he
is condemned.
