Washington County Court.

P. G. CAMP v. VILLAGE OF BARRE.-This
was an action on the case brought to re-
cover damages tor cutting off plaintiff 3
sewerage. The testimony of the plaintiff
tended TO show that some time in 1887 (and
after the village of Barre became incorpor-
ated) the plaintiff entered into an arrange
ment with the bailitfs of the village by
which receiver for surface water was con-
structed within the limits of Washington
street, opposite the plaintiffs land, and a
drain was laid from that receiver across
the street TO the north side and connected
with surface sewer running up and down
that street; that the village paid one-half
the expense thus incurred, and the plaintiff
the other half; that, relying upon the above
arrangement and understanding, plaintiff
laid drain pipe from his house to the re-
ceiver into which he was to discharge the
overflow OF his cistern and spring water and
the sewage from a set bowl in his house (;
that on June ., 1892, plaintiff received a no.
tice from the bailff5 directing him to dis
connect his sewer from the surface sewer on
Washington street before the Sth inst. that
the plaintiff paid no attention TO this notice.
and on July 8, the bailitfs sent him another
notice to disconnect, as complaint had been
made that the sewerage from plaintiff $
house which emptied into the surface drain
pipe had become nuisance and dangerous
TO the health of the inhabitants of Barre;
this notice also recommended that plaintiff
make connection with the village sewer,
constructed in 1890, running the length of
Washington street; that no attention being
paid to this second notice, in November,
1892, the bailiffs caused the plaintiffs drain
pipe to be disconnected with the receiver OF
the surface water sewer, and also stopped
up that end of plaintiffs drain,-the result
of which was that in case of large overflow
of water into said drain, the water set back
into the cellar, making the same so damp
and unhealthful that plaintiff claimed his
property had sustained damage To the
amount of $1,000; that upon receipt of Sec
ond notice the plaintiff caused an examina-
tion OF said sewer to be made by two of the
.bailiffs, who informed the plaintiff that
his sewage was not a nuisance. The de-
fendant claimed that said notices to discon-
meet said sewerage were issued after receipt
of several complaints from different parties
that the same,was nuisance: that the sewer
was examined by two at least of the
bailiffs, who thought the sewage was a nui-

follows:
"The people Of Kansas have been blest
with an abundant crop, sufficient, with
proper distribution, to supply the wants
Of ell its citizens. The blessings Of lib.
ertY and the safeguards Of law have been
enjoyed by all our people.
Therefore, l, L. D. Lswelling, gov
ernor Of Kansas, do hereby designate
and set apart Thursday, the thirtieth
day Of November, Rs a day Of public
thanksgiving and prayer to God, and
do recommend that ON such day all secu-
lar business shall be suspended and that
the people assemble in their usual places
Of worship to give praise and thanks for
such blessings as are enjoyed by man
kind.
II do further urge that those who are
blessed with plenty shall, while giving
thanks for the comforts they enjoy, also
incline their hearts to deeds Of benevo-
lence and charity, and thus by thankful
consideration for the sick, the destitute,
the unfortunate and the unemployed,
make Thanksgiving day, as far as pOssi-

SOME OBsERVANOEs ON THE Re
GENT ELECTION.

The elections in Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
several other states, can be inter-
preted IN only one wsy, and that Is
as a rebuke to the present admins
trstlon. The dlctatorisl policy of the
president, his use of the public pat
ronsge to control Legislation in the
interest of Wall street and British
holders of American securities, and
the absolute disregard of the inter-
ests of the American people, have had
the only effect which they could be
expected to have in states where only
the republican and the democratic
parties have any sppreciable foot
hold. It is natural, too, for those
who are not critical observers Of pub
lie events to hold the party IN power
wholly responsible for every public
misfortune that may occur during
any administration; and the opposite
party always encourages this unfair
tendency of public opinion. Not
withstanding the influences which
have eliminated III disaster recently
have been at work for years under
republican administration, this fact
is carefully concealed from the peO-
pie, and majority of them see only
the present situation.
All the circumstances that have at
tended the new administration since
il came into power have shown il to

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.

1t Is satisfaction TO know that in
the recent election at least one state
in the union has taken step forward
in the march of civilization. The
former sovereigns of Colorado have
declared at the ballot box that their
mothers, wives, sisters and daughters
are as intelligent and as much en-
titled to the rights of American
citizenship as migrants from foreign
countries whose only knowledge Of
our institutions has been derived by a
few brief months of residence, whose
educational advantages have been, in
vast majority of instances, very in
adequate, and of whose patriotism we
have no certain guarantee. The
women OF Colorado will hereafter
exercise the right of suffrage. They
will hereafter take their places upon
q level with the male sex before the
law and share in the responsibilities
and duties Of American citizens.
While smarting under the injustice
inflicted upon the state by vicious ma
tionsl Legislation, the people Of Colo
RADIO have done justice to a class of
her own citizens who have formerly
had reason to complain Of more un-
fair discrimination against them than

WHY DIDN'T THE GOVERNOR
WRITE IT HTMSRLPW

The Lesvenworth Times Of Novem-
Der 8, referring to the compromise Of
the late Legislative difficulties says:
Why didn't the governor write it himself
and send it over TO Speaker Douglass2 The
explanation is entirely too thin. The paper
in the handwriting Of George Peck shows
that Governor LswelliDg turned in his OK
tremity for advice to the same source from
which he got his railroad passes.
II the editor of the Times will turn
to page 248 8 of the Douglass house
journal, adjust his goggles and read
the record Of proceedings of that
august body, he will learn that the
governor did write it himself and
send it over to Speaker Douglass"
and that Speaker Douglass and his
crowd rejected it on February 16, and
only accepted it on the 18th when
ordered to do SO by George r. Peck.

FEAR OF TARIFF CHANGES"

Elsewhere in this issue we quote q
clipping of interviews with fifteen
different manufacturers of the city Of
Pittsburg, Pa, now running on short
time with reduced wages. Each and
all assign as the cause of such reduc-
tion of time and wages, "fesr of tariff
changes" Will any sensible man or
woman be deluded by such clsp-trsp
IS this? Does anyone believe that if
there was a demand for the goods
manufactured by these establish
ments they would thus curtsil their
operations through 'fesr Of tariff
Chsnges" Away with such rot. 1t
is an insult to the most commonplace
intelligence.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-15

The South Carolina plan Of state saloons
is no more popular than prohibition. The
idea of personal liberty TO drink isn't in the
liquor war at all. The war is being carried
on, always for the benefit of the men who
want personal liberty to sell. Il is the profit
in liquor selling that keeps up the Aght, II
some means could be found 10 destroy the
profit and the hope of profit the traffic
would be destroyed.-LeaVenworth Times,

That is correct. Now pray tell Us
of better way to "destroy theprofr

made the greatest per cent. Of gain.
The republican vote in the city of
Topeka in 1890 was 1859. In 1891 it
was 2,46O. In 1892 it was 1851. In
1893 it is 1855. The republican total
vote in Shawnee county in 1890 was
5,073. In 1891 it was 4,244 In 1892
1t was 6,75O. In 1893 it is 1891.
The Populist vote in the city IN
1890 was 248. In 1891 it was 267. In
In 1892 we cannot tell what it was
because the democrats voted with us
at that election. In 1893 it is 622.
The Populist vote outside of Topeka
in 1890 was 1,0O7. In 1891 it was
1,O19. In 1892 it was combined, as
in the city, with the democratic vote
and we cannot tell what 1t was. In
1893 it is 759. This shows that the
Populist loss in this, as in other coun-
ties, is in the country precincts, and
the republican vote which was l, 784
in 1891, 1896 in 1892 and 1906 in
1893 in these same precincts, has not
been reinforced by the Populist votes
which were not cast for the Populist
ticket this year. The farmers have
simply remained in their corn fields
instead of going to the polls; and the
republican party will hear from them
later. The total Populist vote in the
county was 1885 in 1890, 1885 in
1891, and 1881 in 1893, gain in the
county since 1891, Notwithstanding
the loss in the country precincts,
of 95.
Republican editors and jsckleg law
yers who are belching SO much gas
on account of the great republican
victory (?) in Kansas know very we'll
that republicanism Is constantly on
the decline IN the state, and that a
state or national election must ineVl-
tably result in their overwhelming
defeat. The returns of this election
will afford no indication of any other
possible result.

be adverse to American interests, and
the only way the people Of those
states saw to rebuke it was to vote for
the opposite political party; and the
overwhelming msjorities which that
party has received clearly indicates
the intensity of the opposition to
both the policy and the methods of
the democratic party.
It matters not that the republican
party is even more responsible for
the success of Mr.. Cleveland's policy
than the democratic party itself. It
matters not that had republicans
voted against that policy it would
have been defeated both in the senate
and house by large majority. These
facts have been carefully and studi-
ously concealed from the people.
There has not been such an analysis
of the vote as would afford them this
information published in any repub-
lican or democratic paper in the
United States. They have therefore
done the only thing they saw to do,
by the light of the best information
they possessed-they have voted for
the party in their several states that
is out of pOaOer in national affairs in
order to rebuke the party that is in
poaUer for its base betrayal of the
American people, and its fragrant vio-
lstion Of party pledges.
There is hopeful Significance in
this vote when we look at it in the
right way. 1t shows that party ties
are not as strong as they once were.
1t shows more of q spirit Of independ-
ence in politics; and whore such in
dependence exists the people only
want information in order to lead
them away from both of the Wall
street parties. If the people through
out the United States could be
reached with literature of q proper
character there would not be enough
left Of either of the old parties or of
both of them put together in 1896 to
make respectable funeral. This is
as much of q landslide as in the cleo
tion of 1892, only in an opposite direc-
tion. Where will the next slide be?
