DIS HoNoRABLY DISCHARGED.


Colonel Hughes has been discharged
by Governor Lewelling. Hughes, by
his good sense, saved bloodshed and
probably the governors life, and is
very properly condemned by the Popu-
list party Wichita Eagle.
Governor LeweIling very properly
considers his life worthless; if Colonel
Hughes had obeyed orders to clean out
the state house, Lewelling is one of the
first men who would have fallen. Col
onel Hughes has been condemned to
diShOnorable dismissal from the mill
tary service of the state.-Newton Kan
san.
The above are simply admissions
that if Hughes had carried out the or
ders of the governor-the legally con-
stituted authority of the state, the Re-
publicans would have precipitated a
riot that would have resulted in the as
sassination of the governor and other
state officers.
If this is not a frank admission that
a conspiracy was entered into to kill
Governor Lewelling and other state
officers, what is it?
There was a conspiracy and that it
had for its purpose the assassination
of the state officials, there is not
doubt, but that the conspirators are so
bold as to confess it, as clearly set
forth in the above extracts and senti-
ments expressed by many Republican
papers, is astonishing. Kansas Com

Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-

a double duty-to the Company and to
travellers and it is sometimes a task
difficult of accomplishment. Passen-

coinage is the cause of these common
people, and if it is gained it will
be through their efforts and devotion.
1t is a fact not susceptible of dis
proof that were it not for the Populist
party and its aggressive advocacy of
free coinage in the states whose con-
gressmen cast and will cast in the

the prominent speakers were the presi-

MRS. LEASES ELooUENCE.

She was often applauded. Mrs. Lease
said in part:
kansas teaches reverence for man.
reverence for woman, reverence for
law, and upon these pillars rests the
republic of the United States. They
are the most God-fearing, law-abiding,
iberty-loving, intelligent people of the
earth. A schoolhouse dots every val
ley, a university of learning crowns
every hill. Their school system is
based upon the doctrine that each
child is entitled to an education, and
the. state, like a fostering mother,
wraps about her children the arms of
love, and the wild beast of drunken
ness hides from the light of day.
@The soft, south winds, flower laden,
enervating, come stealing from the
gulf softly along the wales, and are met
by the sturdy western winds that blow
straight and strong from the battle

ANDY EELT ON THE GREENLEE BILL.
The" Greenlee bill should not and
cannot be considered as a Republican
measure although it was unfortunately
introduced by Republican not, how
ever, as a measure tending to meet the
reforms pledged or the relief demand
ed by the Republican party, but as a
species of special legislation for the
benefit of the individuals introducing
and supporting the bill, and operating
to the detriment of all other localities
and merchants in the state.
We regret to admit that Mr.. Green
lee, the father of the bill and presid-
ent of the Hutchinson Wholesale
Grocery company, so far forgot the
equitable principles of his party in his
enthusiasm for his mercantile estab-
lishment as to sacrifice them to his
personal interests, and we equally re-
greet that so great a man as Speaker
Douglas allowed his love for Wichita
to outweigh his knowledge of justice to
all.
There were but two points in the
Greenlee bill. The first provided for
what is termed commodity rate in
carloads only of a few articles of stap-
lie heavy groceries, hardware and drugs
and a fixed maximum basis for such
rate.
No provisions were made for lower
ing or regulating the rates on less than
carloads of these goods, nor did it con-
slider even incidentally the rates on
coal, lumber, salt, grain, live stock or
any other article shipped in or out of
the state.
Hon. John Seaton offered an amend
ment restricting the railroads from
making a greater difference than 5
cents per 100 pounds between car
loads and smaller shipments of these
so-called commodities so the retailer
and the consumer could be equally be-
neftted, but Speaker Douglas and Mr..
'Greenlee opposed and it was lost. This
opposition to so fair an amendment
leaves no doubt that the bill was in
tended to be solely in the interest of
jobbers in Wichita, Hutchinson and
Salina and that the author of it was
willing to sacrafce the entire state for
self
The only point in the bill was pro-
vision that the orders of the railroad
commissioners, whether right or wrong,
whether procured by fair means or
foul, should be in force until set aside
''bya court of competent jurisdiction, -
or in other words, the supreme court.
1t is such selfish attempts to use the
legislature for personal ends that has
lost the Republican party much of its
prestige in Kansas, and in order to
regain influence, Republicans through
out its length and breadth must think
and work more for the good of the
state at large and subdue personal
ambitions or make them secondary
