The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-01
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS.

American house Of lords. He
did not have much use for the common
people. He thought they were coarse
and vulgar, and pretty bad crowd gen.
orally; and when they insisted upon
making laws for themselves it narrowed
up his feelings a good deal. The thought
of mingling with these rude creatures
upon terms Of equality caused him much
unrest until he hit upon the house Of
lords and house Of commons plan.
This provided senate for the high
and lordly, and house for the lowly and
common born. The object Of the sem
ate was to furnish a place where the
poor would be unable to break in and
contaminate the rich and sristocratic
He knew these fellows of low degree were
not capable of making lawsfo their own
good. But be was willing they should
have the privilege Of amusing them
selves in attempts Of this sort, for. when
reaching the senate, their uncouth and
uusound measures could receive fitting
rebuke.
Alexander called this restraining pro-
cess, putting check upon the people.
After he got it thoroughly perfected and
working easy in all it's parts, he felt
much relieved in his mind.
Mr.. Hamilton left good crop Of dis
ciples. These followers have consider
ably overworked the checking business
since his time. So much so, in fact, that
there is hardly peg left upon which to
hang check. But they are indus
triously working to fill the few remain
ing ones.
One of the most pronounced examples
of this type blossomed forth the other
day in the shape Of Senator Chandler, of
New Hampshire. He thinks the people
are suffering from too much liberty, and
has come to their relief with bill which
provides: "That it shall be unlawful for
any body Of men numbering ten or more,
any Of whom are subject to enrolment
as part Of the militia of any state or of
the United States, to assemble or drill
or bear arms as a military organization,
unless they are called forth by some civil
or military officer lawfully authorized to
make such CALL"
This is supposed to be the final check
required to reduce the people to state
of perpetual bondage, removing as it
would the possibility Of organized armed
resistance to plutocratic aggression. Mr..
Hamilton would chuckle with glee to see
the common herd thus placed in COM
pIete subordination.
The Industrial Legion precipitated
this bill. The money power is alarmed
at its supposed military features. Danger
of an armed force to meet their encroach-
ments is one thing plutocrscy can sense
from sfar. 1t discovered at once that
such organizations seriously threaten
law an4order, and must not be allowed
to take root in our soil.
The plutocrstic press is elOquently
pleading for the bill, referring to it as
one towhich no law-abiding citizen could
possibly object. The anxiety Of some OF
the papers to explain its real meaning is
really touching. They are troubled lest
the feeble minds of the people may not
be able to comprehend the full output Of
beauties and blessings to be thrust upon

been numerous tilts in the senate over
the question, most notable of which was
between Senators Mcpherson and Teller.
The specious arguments and absurd
CLAIMS Of the New Jersey senator could
not stand under the facts and logic OF
the gentleman from Colorado. Mr.. Teller
served notice on the senate that the
measure would never pass that body un-
less free silver law were put in it's
place.
While it is very evident that the bank
ers Of England and America are moving
heaven and earth to prevent further pur-
ohases ef silver, yet it looks like a very
cunning aggressive move to compel the
silver men to take the defensive, and be
satisfied with what they already have
instead of insisting upon the extreme
measure Of free silver law. They want
to hypnotizs them into the condition Of
mind that would
"Maka them rather bear those Ills they have
Than fly to others that they know not Of"
Premonitory symptoms Of hedging
on the silver question are noticeable
among few congressman. They want
to "be in harmony and accord with their
party" is their excuse.
This will be pleasing news to their
wheat and cotton constituents. 1t will
turn their starving condition into state
of unalloyed bliss. As they see happi-
ness, hope, and life itself, snstched from
them through failure to realize the living
prices for their wheat and cotton that
the restoration Of silver would bring,
they can console themselves with the
uplifting and sustaining thought that
the larder and bin are filed to overflow
ing with rsrest bits of harmony, and
that the children are richly clothed in
assorted varieties Of carefully selected
accord.
Mr.. Cleveland has rushed to the aid
and comfort of the money lords just as
he did four years ago before he took his

derstand that they must repeal the

Senator PETER has addressed the SEN.

Senator Wolcott, Of Colorado, seems to
be little skeptical about alleged expen-
ditures on the Nicaragua canal, and has
offered a resolution for an official show
ing Of the same.
The anti-option bill is holding its own
very we'll, with odds against its passage
by both houses in it's present shape.
While its promoters have no use for Pop

very grateful for assistance rendered

haul are the schemers for the big ship
canal from the great lakes to the Allan
tic. They only want 100000 for pre-
hminsry survey. They are too modest.
They must ask for larger sum before
they can hope to succeed.
Congressman Watson has presented an
improved sub. treasury bill, and also q
bill to prevent further issue Of bonds by
the government.
The Nicaragua canal boomers are here
as thick as hops. They are the best Or
ganized schsmers that ever engineered a
steal. Their bill will pass the senate,
with q good chance in the house at the
closing days of the session, unless q pro-
longed howl is sent up against it from
every quarter Of the continent. Every
Weaver and Field voter ought to send q
vigorous protest to his congressman, and
get at least one republican or democrat
to join him in it. Congressman Tom
Watson has string of facts as long as
the moral law showing it to be the COM
pletest piece Of jobbery aud robbery ever
conceived by the legslized brigandry Of
this or any other country.
There are very few in the reform move
ment who do not know Mr.. N. A. Dun
ming, the present able editor OF the
National WatchmGn, and former editor,
with DR.. Mscune, Of the NatiOaGL EconO-
mist. 1t is we'll known how he loved the
Economist, and how it we,l-nigh broke
his heart to leave the paper he had
made 30 eminent in economic journalism.
And when the still small voice prompted
him to show up corruption IN the home
Of his old idol, he felt that summons
from the lord high executioner would
have been more welcome. While his rea-
son tells him that the paper has now
gone over to Satan and to death, yet the
devotion Of years cannot die in a day,
and each week he scans its pages with
deep interest-in sorrow more than
anger, as though longing to see that the
terminating spark of life and purity had
been supplied. But when he reaches
what he calls the "boodle columns" hope
dies, and he sadly turns away, and
always utters the same pathetic plant,
"Too bad, too bad. 1t might have been
the greatest and best paper in the
world"
National Chairman II. Il. Taubeneck is
here at 154 A street N. E., and will at
tend the silver convention on the 22d.
He hopes to effect a combination Of all
the reform forces, with free silver and
more money as the rallying cry for the
next campaign.
Secretary j. H. Turner is kept busy
sending out charters and blanks for the
Industrial Legion. The growth Of the
order has been phenomenal, and the
fever is still on.
The friends of DR.. Mscune, they who
have tried to believe until now that he
did not sell out to the enemy, are very
much panied and grieved over his advo-
cacy of the repeal of the Sherman act.
And the friends who deserted him some
time ago because they believed he did
sell out are going around with q self
sufficient "I-told-you-so" air that is
quite amusing to behold.

THE BLENDERS INDICTED.
Result of the Grand Jury's lnvesti-
cation of the Fire.

Isaac, Samuel and julius OIender, three
brothers who were mutually interested in the
Oleuder tannery on Pecta avenue. be ween
Coso and Folsom streets, were indicted by the
Grand Jury yesterday on four counts charging
them with presenting false proofs in support OF
policy of Insurance..
The Olender tannery was destroyed by IRE
on the / 9Th OF last November under somewhat
suspicious circumstances, and the Insurance
companies refused TO pay until the matter was
thoroughly investigated. Ii was then found
that the tannery had been insured with four
companies-the Patriotic Assurance Company
of Dublin, the Fire Association OF Philadel-
phia. the Delaware Insurance Company OF
Philadelphia and the Americ Central lusur-
ance Company of ST. Louis. The amount OF the
policy with each company was $4,000.
After The anDery had been destroyed the
Olender brothers put III their claims 10 the sew
ial companies, but II II alleged that The total
value OF the tannery did not exceed $500, and
that instead OF each insurance company paying
up $4,000, pro rata share of the defendants
loss would only come TO 1915 for each insur-
ance company. On these grounds the DrotnerS
Qleuder are charged with Il aud.
The four indictments were filed with Presld-
ing Judge SandeTs0D, who ordered bench war
rants to be issued for the arrest OF the Olen-
ders, and fixed bail In the sum or SloOO Tor
