state coinage Of silver so that the
people may have money to transact
business with, was a thousand times
better than doing nothing.
Governor Lewelling, of our own
state, was warmly commended for his
proclamation saspending arrests I'M
der the vagrancy law. He had been
amused by the various constructions
placed upon this proclamation by the
newspapers. He had been led to be-
lieve that trampS were to become
privileged characters; that they were
all to be gathered into Kansas and
that nobody should modest or disturb
them no matter what crimes they
should commit. He was surprised
upon reading the Governors prOcla-
nation that the word tramp was not
mentioned in it. There was nothing
in it preventing the arrest of any one
for crime. He only stated that no
one should be arrested because, and
only because, they had mo visible
means of support" Hundreds Of
good citizens of Kansas were in that
condition today and so long as they
committed no offenSe they were not
criminals. He did not blame a man
for sleeping ia box car, if he had no
place to sleep, he would do it himself.
A large muscular man came to his
door recently; he was out Of the
house, but where he could see the
man; he asked for something to eat.
There did not happen to be any "hand-
outs" in stock and he was turned
away empty; as he left he gazed up at
the magnificent church, raising his
eyes to the top of the steeple and sur
veying it with great interest; he won
dered if that mln would not have felt
more kindly toward the church had he
received something to allay his hun
ger at the parsonage. Hereafter no
one would ever be turned away from
his door without mOrsel, if any NOR
sci was there to be given
He commended the actions of these
governors as being prompted by hui
manity ane rebuked those who
Sneered at them.
The audience listened spellbouud
for more than an hour, and many
went home with SOrrowful and sym,
pathizing hearts.

The Cry of the Poor.
Iowa Tribune.

Iowa Tribune.
From every part Of our deSOlated
country comes the pitiful cry Of the
starving poor. New York has from
100000 to 100000 destitute who must
be supported during the winter by
charity, 100000 of whom it is feared
will perish unless contributions are
poured out more Law ishly than ever
before known. Cases of death by
starvation, the account says, are
now too common to excite notice or
comment. The st. Louis Republic
says there are 100000 destitute in
that city who must be fed by charity
or perish.
More than $1,000 are destitute in
Chicago. At meeting of the Trade
and Labor assemblies OF the Sd inst,
the Chicago Tribune says:
"a member of the former commit
tee explained its inactivity on the
ground the relief committee of the
business men had believed 1t unad-
riSable to draw attention to the pov-
erty and distress of Chicago while its
wealth was being displayed at the
Fair. Delegate Grimes, the Lake
front agitator, denounced this hotly."
Ten thousand are starving at Wake
field and BeSsermer, Michigan, and
80 the sad news rushes in upon US
from every quarter. But the cry of
these unfortunate victims of an in.
famous economic policy, never reaches
the ear of our leading government
officials. The president in his annual
message just sent in to congress says
not one word concerning these suffer-
Ing subjects. The poor are beneath
his exalted notice. Nor does he
deign to direct the attention of con-
gress to their wants. A few purse
proud bankers could secure an extra
session of congress to repeal law
which they deemed injurious to their
vacations, but neither extra or
regular sessions are summoned
to listen to the wants of the
suffering millions. If this country is
not drifting headlong into the vortex
of ruin and social disorder, then the
signs of the times are surely decep-
tive.

Just as soon as Governor Lewelling
learned from the Republican papers
that Major Mckinley would be elect
ed to the presidency in 1896, he issued
an order to the metropolitan police
commissioners to the effect that all
men out of employment are not to be
regarded as criminals. That is pre-
pairing for an emergency. If we are
to have four years of Mckinley, about
every man in the country except the

Readers of the VOICE are given
elsewhere a synopsis of an excellent
sermon delivered Sunday night by
kev. j. d. BOtkin on the subject
The present reign of poverty
The VOICE has profound respect for a
man, a minister of the Gospel, who
mas the courage to speak his convic-
lions when duty demands it. These
times are such as demand plain talk
from thepulpit, aSwell as from all the
moral forces of the nation. In the
prO-slavery days, the church. and e..
pecially the Methodist church. did its
work in the then pending reform and
we have no doubt it will come to the
rescue in the present struggle. If all
OF Gods people would lay aside all
prejudicial restraints, but enc effort
would be necessary for the people to
assert their sovereign supremacy.
Humanity is but the promptings of
the golden rule. The VOICE hopes
other ministers will have the courage
to raise their voices and WELD their
influence in behalf of the oppressed
people of the earth.

Sisting the payment of its taxes in

slider their company superior to and
above the state government. They
have been able to dictate to former
administrations and have thereby
avoided paying their rightful proper

been dictators so long they consider
it out of place for the state govern

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 16-Jerry Simpson
departed yesterday for Washington and
will have nothing further to say regarding
the trouble between the two houses. That
there is some trouble in the Populist camp,
growing out of Simpsons leadership for
the past three weeks, seems probable from
the talk of several prominent Populists.
They intimate that the present difficulties
are in part due to Simpsons efforts to force
compromise with the Republicans that
would result in his own election as senator.
The two houses will meet at 4 O'Clock this
afternoon.
Will Probably BE Two Legislatures.
The Republicans have called a caucus
for today to nominate a candidate for state
printer, and whether the difficulties over
organization are adjusted or not balloting
must begin. If the situation does not
change materially, two elections will be
held. Unless the parties get together in
the matter, each house will elect a state
printer and when the senate meets in joint
session with the house the Populists will
probably vote with the Populist house,
while the Republican senators will vote
with the Republicans in the house.
