A MISTAKE CORRECTED.

There appears to be considerable
misspprehension respecting the fu-
ture attitude of the Peoples party
and of the reform press towards the
silver question. The report has
gained currency in some quarters
that the conference committees Of the
American Bi-metallic League and the
Reform Press Association at Con-
cordia hall in Washington a few days
ago agreed to unite upon the single
issue Of free coinage in the next cam
paign. This report is absolutely
without shadow of foundation. The
committee Of the National Reform
Press Association agreed to no such
thing, nor was it asked to do so. Our
association will continue to favor free
coinage because it is right, but they
will also continue to push to the front
the other economic questions which
form the basis Of the Peoples party,
and these will probably be broadened
IN future campaigns. There need be
no alarm concerning the Adoption Of
the single issue Of free silver as the
future platform Of the party Wedo
not understand that any attempt has
been or will be made in this direction.

THE FINAL WIND UP OF THE Ma

question Of a few days when those
in Kansas will be in the same condi-
ton. We take some pride in the be-
lief that the fight we made upon this
huge fraud has saved the people of
Kansas many thousands Of dollars by
preventing them from getting caught
by it. There are q few people who
thought we did not know what we
were talking about, and they have
some debenture bonds now to specu-
late on. Their experience is dearly
bought but we hope it will be worth
all il has cost. The people Of Kansas

CHEROKEE LANDS.

After a hard struggle, on the last
day OF the session, the provision for
the purchase of the Cherokee outlet,
together with the Tonksws and Paw
nee lands in the Indian Territory,
went through as rider on the Indian
appropriation bill. This will lead to
the opening Of the lands to settle
ment, which will be as soon as the
Cherokee council ratify the treaty
made with the commission, and will
supply a great many people with
homes. The Kansas City Times,
which has for years advocated the
opening Of these lands, and Of late
kept up vigorous agitation Of the
question, gives credit for the last sue
cessful effort to Congressman Peel,
Cummings, Mansur and Jerry Simpson.

A BOODLT STORY.

On March 3 the Topeka Capital
with it's usual tendency toward the
sensational, made a statement under
startling head lines that the sum Of
"a, 500 had been sent to Topeka from
the "great gambling ring of Kansas
City and paid TO the msnipulators
of the gubernatorial ring composed
Of Fred j. Close, j. T. Little, attor-
ney general, and James F. Legate,
wet nurse otthese new-style reform
ers." The article adds that the money
was paid to secure the appointment
of certain men as police commission
ers Of Kansas City, who would per-
NIT the gamblers of that city to
continue their lotteries. No evidence
was given to back the story, except
the bare assertion that the money
had been brought here, and that the
governor had acknowledged that the
money had been used "for Legislative
purposes"
Coming FROM any other source this
story would have created some ex-
citement, but as it was, very little at
tention was paid to 1t. Reporters OF
all the other city papers interviewed
the governor and the other men
whose names we're connected with
the statement Except Legate, who is
not in the city,, and all Of them
denied any knowledge of the affair.
They looked upon it as such a fla
grant attempt at manufacturing
scandal that it was not worth motto
ing, except so far as il referred to in
dividuRls. The governor was slightly
incensed at that part which charged
HIM with the acknowledgement, and
said it was wholly false. He knew
nothing about it except what he had
heard, and he placed no confidence
in 1t whatever.
There is a strong suspicion, how
ever, that certain professional
boodlers who have trained with the
republican crowd for many years
have played a confidence game on
the Kansas City crowd, and the lat
ter, finding that their money was not
having the desired effect, have opened
up the scandal, leaving the Capital
editor to supply names to suit him
self.

THE ADMINISTRATION CHANGES,
BUT THE SAME POLICY
REMAINS,

succeeded by democratlc one, out
there is not now, nor will there be
any change IN policy by which the
people would realize the transfer of
power were they not aware of the
change that has taken place. MIR.
Cleveland's inaugural address is
commonplace and devoid of anything
of general interest His brief ailu-
sion to the currency question is all
that Wall street could desire. He
says:
Msnifestly nothing is more vital to our
supremacy as a nation, and to the bene
6cent purposes Of our government than a
sound and stable currency. Its exposure to
degradation should at once arouse to sotiv-
ity the most enlightened craftsmanship; aud
the danger of depreciation in the purchas-
ing power Of the wages paid to toll should
furnish the strongest incentive to prompt
and conservative precaution.
Mr.. Cleveland has very telicitous
way of stating the case. His plain
meaning is that the gold standard is
to be maintained, and he expresses
his chief concern for such msinte-
nance of "a stable currency" lest "the
purchasing power of the wages paid
to toll" should be deprecated. The
kind of toll most likely to suffer from
what he would term depreciation is
the clipping of coupons. The tollers
upon the farm and in the shops and
mines would enjoy little of the de-
probation which would result from
the free coinage of silver and large
increase in the paper circulation is
sued directly by the government.
These Wall street pleas, under the
speoious guise of deep concern for
the interests of labor, have become
so familiar to the people that they no
longer possess the merit of being
amusing.
Another fear that seems to weigh
heavily upon the mind of the presi-
dent is paternslism. He says;
The lessons in paternalism ought to be
learned and the better lesson taught, that
while the people should patriotically and
cheerfully support their government it's
functions do not include the support Of the
people.
He evidently intended to say its
functions do not include the support
of all of the people. He would, of
course, except those who build rail-
roads and Nicaragua canals, those
who engage in national banking and
a few ot1er special occupations.
There is, of course, no paternalism in
their support.
Mr.. Cleveland also deprecstes "the
existence of immense aggregations of
kindred enterprises and the combi-
nations of business interests formed
for the purpose of limiting produc-
tion and fixing prices, as inconsistent
with the fair field which ought to be
open to every independent activity"
This would indicate deadly hostil-
ity to trusts. How the foundations
of those huge structures must tremble

we want? Haven't we got the lsw9
The president is also deeply inn
pressed with the Importance of OBJ
serving the strictest economy, both in
public and private affairs. He says:
Every thoughtful American must realize
the Importance Of checking at it's beginning
any tendency in public or private station to
regard frugality and economy as virtues
which we may safely outgrow.
Mr.. Cleveland's administration be-
gins with an exhibition of the modern
idea of economy, as will be observed
by reading of the scenes which char
acterized the inaugural ceremonies.
Take the following as an example:
Mr.. Cleveland will go from the capitol to
the reviewing stand in the carriage fur
nished by the senate committee on arrange
ments. Albert Hawkins, Mr.. Clevsland's
old driver, who has been employed O. q
messenger in the pension office, will be on
the box. II is said that the turnout will be
the finest that ever came up Pennsylvania
avenue. The vehicle will be drawn by four
jet black horses. The harness win be white
and each horse will be attended by a foot
man in white livery Chicago Herald.
Turnout the finest that ever came
up Pennsylvania avenue! Four jet
black horses! Harness white! Each
horse attended by a footman in white
livery! Insignia Of royalty! And
this is an example of the virtues Of
frugality and economy which the
president says we may not safely out
grow. Is this the party of Jefferson
and OF jackson?
Then again we read Of the unprece-
dented magnlfcence of the inaugural
ball. The great hall in the pension
Office, 300 feet in length, is converted
into a fsiryland by the splendor Of
the decorations. Many days and
thousands of dollars of thu peoples
money we're expended in the prepar-
atoms. The entire business Of this
important department. is suspended,
and the vast force of clerks and en-
ployes is idle to permit the decora-
tions to proceed.
There were said to be present at
the ball "three thousand toilets that
illustrate the latest creations of fash
ion." SIN addition to the president
and vice president there were present
persons of distinction from all parts
of the country, senators, representa-
tives, prominent politicians, COVER
nors of states, officers of the army
and navy, diplomats from foreign
lands, militia officers, all these accom-
panied by ladies'" There was one
other element represented which is
not mentioned in the programs, and
that was the Plnkerton thug.
Another example of frugality in
public station Z" is afforded by the en-
gagement of board and rooms at the
Arlington for the president, Mrs.
Cleveland and Baby Ruth at the very
moderate rate of $40 per day. Shades
of the immortal Jefferson and jack
son defend us from such economy! If

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Two cases in

filed IN the supreme court Of the United
States, were decided to-day by Justice Gray
In the suit by the American Construction
Company brought in July last, Judge
Swayne, the district judge Of Florida, APP
pointed Mason Young receiver with certain
instructions as "to the management of the
property" The case went to tho Giro lit
court of appeals and in January last a de-
cree was issued setting aside the orders ap-
pealed from. In February the construction
company obtained leave from the supreme
court 70 file a petition for writ of man
damus TO the court of appeals TO dismiss
so much of the railway company's appeal as
brought before it the action OF the circuit
court in appointing a receiver, or an alter
native writ of certiorari to bring up its de-
cree for review by the supreme court of the
United States. About the same time last
year the Pennsylvania Company for the In
surauce of Lives and for Granting Annuities,
as trustee under the mortgage of the rail
road company, secured from Judge Pardee
the appointment of r. B. Gable as receiver.
The construction company interveued,
setting up the appointment OF Mr.. Young
as receiver, and asking that Mr. Cables
appointment be set aside. This case also
went 10 the court OF appeals, the circuit
court setting aside Mr. Cables Ap-
pointment, and the construction com
pany asked for writ Of maudamu5

as brought before it the action Of the circuit

pointment of a receiver by Judge Pardee on

States. The petition In the first case was
denied by Justice Gray. because no reason
exists for issuing it under the circumstances.
The petition for writ Of maudamus was
also refused in the second case, but a rule
was issued 20 show cause why a writ OF GER
tiorari should not issue 20 bring up and
quash the decree Of the circuit court of ap-
peals. The rule was made returnahle on

ATLANTA, GA, March 27.-At its meet

after thoroughly oanvassing the situation
with a view to making the small
appropriation of $4,000 provided by the
last Legislature serve the best interests Of
the service, decided that only one,half the
troops would be ordered into camp this year.
This action will be a surprise TO the mill
tary, as 1t has been taken for granted that
the board would provide some way by which
the encampment would be held as hereto
fore.
TO BE IN CAMP TEN DAYS.
By the arrangement adopted to-day
the troops who are ordered into
camp win be given ten days
service instead Of O week as hereto.
fore, which will be a great advantage to
them, as one weeks service has not proved
satisfactory. 1t takes week to get the
first troops in condition to profit by the en-
campment aud just at this important
period they have heretofore been compelled
TO tear up and come home. The S20,O 900 APP
propriation was insufficient to allow all the
troops even one week. According TO the
boards estimate S26, 900 would have boen
necessary. Last year on $25, 900 some
companies had TO draw on their private res
sources TO make both ends meet
