There are no more sensational devel-

the Floyds are tried Mrs. Floyd has
taken her Imprisonment bitterly to
heart. Thursday night and yesterday
morning she became frantic and hyster-

Gained down and remained quiet Tor

Tim Byrnes has consented to act as
attorney for the Floyds. Mr.. Byrnes
visited them at the Jail yesterday, and
held a lengthy consultation with them.
He says that he is positive he will aquit
all three. The Indictment charges
them with stealing this money. as well
as aiding and abetting Phil Scheig. but

Mrs. Floyd is allowed to remain in
the outer corridor with her boys until .
p. N. every day. Then she is taken TO
the women's quarters, and the boys are
locked in their cells.
Scheig is still at the lookup, where he
will remain until Monday, when he will
! be taken down to the district court and
sentenced. Notwithstanding the rumor
that he will probably get off with a
reformatory sentence, it is more likely
that he will get five or seven years in
Saltwater prison. The bank officials
deny emphatically that any promises
were made to Scheig that he would get
off light if he confessed all. Vice Presi-
dent Clough, in speaking of the alleged
leniency of the bank toward Scheig,
said that if the bank had had anything
to fear from Scheig. he would never
| have been brought back.
Nevertheless, when the Floyds are
tried, the bank may be asked to show
its books, which may disclose how much
money Scheig really got away with dur
ing the past three or four years.

VERY CLEVEHLY MANAGED.

The Cases Against the Firemen
Dropped FIR Lack of Witnesses.
The prosecution of the six firemen
who were charged with stealing hats
fIom the Manhattan Cap company and
boots and shoes from the North Star
Boot and Shoe company was dropped
yesterday, and the firemen re-
leased from their bonds. The
county attorney took this action
for several reasons. e. B. Heffelfinger,
of the North Star Boot and Shoe COM
pany, could not swear as to the loss of
the shoes, and the Manhattan Cap COM
pany has gone out of business in this
city. Moreover, the testimony of Hugh
Fox, the principal witness against the
tiremen, could not be obtained, as Fox
IS out of the city and cannot be found.
Furthermore, the council had investigat-

His Term as Fire Chief Expires
Jan T.

There is considerable speculation
afinat at the city hall and elsewhere as
to Chief Runge's chances OF succeeding
himself. His term as chief engineer of
the fire department expires the first of
the year, and it is said that an effort
will be made to elect another chief. AL
though the council Vindicated Chief
Eunge, there are several aldermen who
would cheerfuIly vote for another man,
particularly if that man happened to be
Frank Stetson. While it is generally
conceded that since the raking over of
the fire department the abuses have
been corrected. the discipline improved
and the firemen have been doing better
work, yet some of the aldermen and
their friends are considering the advis-
ability OF a change.

party is Education. But for political
education there would be no new
party in Kansas, or in any other state.
The man who voted with the Popu-
lists last year without having learned
any political ideas save those he
cleaned from back number platforms
and campaign text books, if he has
learned nothing since, he is very liable
to vote differently this year. Ignor-
snce is responsible for most of the
blunders of life. If every voter could
be induced to compare, and made to
understand all the political platforms
nothing but prejudice would keep
him from voting right. Education
has been the work of the Farmers
Alliance for years, and other labor
organizations have done their share
of it, but it is not near completion. It
is just fairly begun and this is good
year for every Populist to resolve
himself into a committee to see that
his neighbors are supplied with good
reliable reading matter. The ADvo-
CATE will soon publish q list of the Ia
test publications.

HOW Is THIS2

Since the first advent of the Peo-
pies party upon the political field it
has insisted that mischievous legisls-
tion is the foundation of the evils and
financial difficulties that sfflict the
people. The republican party has
persistently denied this and insisted
that legislation has had nothing to do
with it, and can have nothing to do
with an improvement Of existing con-
ditiona It has persistently held that
prosperity cannot be restored to the
country by Legislation. Now this
same crew is bowling against the
Sherman silver law as the cause Of
all our woes, and demanding it's re-
peal as the only hope Of the country.
How their stories do hang together |!

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE FOB THIs2

Those papers which trled TO work up a
sentiment against the Russian treaty found,
when it was published, that it was not 30
bad as they supposed, and have turned their
attention to other matters. Il should be a
lesson TO the government that there is no
necessity for keeping such matters secret.-

Shades of Washington and Jeffer-
son, of jackson and Lincoln and all
the departed champions of liberty
look down and weep. The Russian
treaty is precisely what it was claimed
to be before it was published. It's
infsmy was never exaggerated, and no
act of the government for the last
quarter Of century has been so unl-
versally condemned by the press, ir-
respective Of party, as the ratification
Of this treaty. We must not neglect

graph is without signature, however,

The Peoples movement in politics
is for the benefit of all classes of peo-
pie who earn their living. In Kansas,
up to this time, it has received its
most ardent support from the farm
ers who seem to realize most readily
the true condition Of the country.
Now, if those who are known as bus
mess men are going to be led by that
class Of business men who consider
stock gambling and usury Legitimate
business, then the farmers and labor

STOP THIS NONSENSE.

There Is no reason why the sdvo-
Gates of free coinage should oppose
the repeal of the Sherman law on the
ground that it adds to the volume Of
our currency. This is not fact, and
the friends of silver must know it. 1t
has been repeatedly shown that every
secretary of the treasury since the
passage of the law has exercised his
discretion IN the redemption of treas
ury notes issued for the purchase of
silver bullion by redeeming them in
gold; and the practical operation OF
the law has therefore been to pay
gold for silver bullion and lock up
the bullion in treasury vaults. There
has been no material increase in the
currency from the operation of this
law. Why, then, should the friends
Of silver urge such reason against
the repeal of the lsw7 1t is wrong.
II is deceptive in its effect. It Will
in the end injure the cause it is de-
signed to aid.
The real reason for opposing the
repeal of the law is the fact that, in
its passage, congress put its foot in it,
SO to speak, and nearly everybody
recognizes this fact now. Those who
supported the law and shared in the
profits of the gamblers in silver re-
sulting from it, would now like to get
out of the scrspe, and the friends Of
silver should let them out only by
the free coinage route.
Every person of good sense admits
the mlschievous character of the
Sherman law. Populists pointed out
the vicious nature of 1t when it was
pending. Everything they then said
of it has proven true and much more.
II is not necessary now, therefore,
that we stultify ourselves simply be-
cause our republican sdversaries
have done SO. They said then the
law was a good thing-that it was
the greatest financial measure of the
age. How could it be otherwise, be-
ing as it was, one of old John Sher-
mans children7 If it was such q
good thing then, let them keep 1t and
enjoy the blessings of it until they
are willing to support a substitute
for it that will be of some benefit to
the people, rather than a few Wall
street gold-bugs; but don't let the
friends of free silver urge, as rea-
son for opposing its repeal, the
erroneous assumption that it is q
means of increasing the volume of
our currency; because nothing could
be further from the truth.

TIE ELECTION IN GERMANY.

There are two things worthy OF es
peCial note in relation to the recent
German election. The first is the re
markable growth Of socialism, anG
the second is that the socialist
strength predominstes In the cities
The ADVOCATE has before called at
tentlon to the fact that in all Europe
socialism has been gaining ground
very rapidly in recent years, and ha'
been taking practical form in the con
troll of public utilities by many mu
inequalities. Not before, however
has there been such a remarkable
demonstration OF political power
The socislistic sentiment is making
rapid strides the world over. In the
United States it is sllgning itseli
more with the nationalistic idea o.
public ownership and management
first of the monopolized industries
leaving the exiRencies of the future
to determine just how far the scheme
of naturalization shall ultimately OK
tend.
At the present stage of develop
ment the conditions in Germany sn(
the United States appear to be dl
rectly the opposite of each other
While in Germany the socislistic sen
timent is strongest in the cities, il
the United States it appears to pre-
dominate in the rural districts. Thi
difference may be more apparent
however, than real. There are
great many people in our American
cities who are really socialists, o
rather nationslists, in sentiment VIII,
have not the courage to so declsr
themselves, and who are, at least, nc
sufficiently aroused upon the subjeC
to sustain their views by their vote
Party prejudices prevent this in
measure. That the sentiment
growing, however, is apparent fror
the constantly increasing demand TO
nationalist literature.
That the people of the rural dis
tricts are more openly svowed ma
tionalists may again be in par
accounted for from the fact that con
siderable Of the foreign immigration
to this country has come in colonies
in which more or less of the sociRlis
tic ideas have been carried out IN tn,
new settlements. Then again th,
residents Of the rural districts in thi
country are the equals in intelligence
and the superiors In Independence o
