Secretary Osborne Convicted.

In the district court Of Shawnee county
September 81, Secretary Of State r. s.
Osborne was convicted Of criminal libel,
the trial Of the case having been begun
the day before. While it is q matter Of
some annoyance to Mr.. Osborn, the YER
dict it looked upon generally 90 ridicu-
lous piece OF nonsense.
On April 15 last the Topeka State
Journal published a short interview, in
which the secretary OF state repeated
statement he had heard to the effect
that Oy LELAND, Of Doniphan county,
had purchased coal at the state peniten-
tisry mines for 50 and SO q ton, and sold
it to Doniphan county as first class
coal. The statement was made to
show that q corrupt penitentiary ring
existed, through which good coal was
sold as slack 80 that individuals could
make big profit by handling it. After
the publication was made Leland caused
the arrest Of Mr.. Osborn on state war
rant charging him with libel. The de-
fsndsnt was bound over by Justice
Grover to the district court for jury trial,
and from that time to the day Of trial
paid very little attention to the case,
leaving it in the hands Of his attorney,
]. J. Hit. Shortly before the trial
Noah Allen was retained to assist in the
case, but Mr.. Hit conducted It. There
was not much testimony taken. Mr..
Osborn did not deny having made q
statement similar to that published, but
there was no evidence to show that he
did 30 with malicious purpose, or that
he requested it's publication in the paper.
Fred J. Close testified that the same
accusation had been made years ago and
been common talk in Doniphsn county.
Leland, Of course, denied the truth Of
it. County Attorney Stafford made q
vigorous effort, and with the aid Of
Judge HRzen, succeeded in getting q
verdict Of guilty. Mr.. OshOrn's sttOs-

time that was worth money to me, very
much Of it. When after deRouncing
grain gamblers for yearp, Mr.. Chew, the
editor, turned around and used all the
influence OF his paper for Francis, one of
the greatest grain gamblers of st. Louis,
for governor, 1 never wrote another word
for the paper. 1t has now changed

ground that do from the belief that
the true interest Of the farmer and my
own are the same. point to the low
price of farm products to, day and the
low price Of bank stocks in proof Of my
assertion.
/ Gnd some bankers with me but not
many. Mr.. st. John Of the Mercantile
National Of New York, is a silver man.
Mr.. Sibley, Of Pennsylvania, who made
such fins speech for silver in the house

with whom we act will find us very use
full on special occasion in exposing the
statements made on the suppOsition that
the farmers are not posted. ] will take
the liberty to refer to one in'your last
paper from Mr.. Oldrieve. Whilst il is
true that Rothschilds' do not control the
Bank Of England in the sense OF owning
a majority of the stock, it is unquestion-
ably true that they not only control the
banks policy but that Of England itself;
they and the coterie Of bankers and in
vestors who obey them and follow them
like an army does its leaders. There is
not nation in Europe that dRres to
offend them except France and little
Switzerland. / have not doubt in the
world that the demonstration Of silver
by England in 1916 was at their dicta-
tion backed by their followers. One rea-
Hon for trying to break down silver is to
make France abandon it and compel her
to depend on them ss the other nations
do.
We are starting in on another great
battle for liberty and it may be long
one. It will take all the coolnesa, dis
cretlon, courage aud common sense that
We can command to get the victory. Aud
it is particularly fitting that its first
great victories should have been won in
Kansas. In the time of the other fight
for slavery I was q minor; some of my
people were on one side Of 1t and some
on the other. I am glad to be on the
side of freedom In this one. Freedoms
battle can not be lost GEO. WILSON.
