D. D. Hornaday to be Let Out to
Make Room for Relatives.

Another whlrl Is to take place In the
State house, according to the Topeka
state journal. A nephew Vt Van
Prather, auditor, is TO DO gwen job.
The Journal tells as follows how the
deal is progressing,
In order TO make room for FATHERS
nephew, II was necessary TO make
several other changes, and In the
course vi the changes another relative
was slipped up peg.
Grant Games, n brother ofeSuperin
tendent OF Instruction IL. N. Gaines,
was the relative to be benefited by the
change.
Young Mr.. Gaines, who has since
the inauguration vt the present govern.
ment flied the position of messenger
tor tue west Wig vi the Stale house. at
a salary OF $3.50 a year, has been gwen
a clerkship IN his brothers Office, the
salary of which is 81 200 a year.
In order to make room IN the Office
Of the superinteI dent of instruction ior
the superintendent brother, n vacancy
had To he created, aud this was done by
the removal OF MIR. ID, ID. uornaday, ot
Abilene, Dickinson county, who filled
he position o. clerk Of the State board
Of school fund commissioners.
Mr.. HOrnaday was, before coming IN
Topeka, county superintendent OF
Dickinson county for two terms, and
The only excuse offered for his removal
was that place must be created for
another relative.
This "relative" business Is causing
trouble among the State house people
who are not relatives for two reasons.
First, they don't know when they will

Mr.. IIornaday never was Pop enough
to hurt and the chances are that he
will very much backslide now. Per
haps this judgment is visited upon
him because he did not carry Dickin-
son county for Populism as he was
expo cted to.

THE WILSON BILL PASSED.

The advocates of free silver were
completely route last Monday in the
House of Representatives, when the
Wilson bill, repeating that clause OF
the Sherman act requiring the Secre-
tary to purchase 100000 ounces of
silver every month, was passed by the
enormous majority of 1870. The i'm
mense vote in its favor was surprise
to nearly everybody. 1t showed that
the lower house of Congress has
needed well the voice of the people.
The House made an emphatic pro-
test against the free coinage of silver
in any shape. \ proposition for free
coinage at a ratio of &c to was voted
down by 102 majority, and even the
20 TO ratio was defeated by l0l ma
jority. The Wilson bill was then
voted on squarely, and was passed by
vote of 240 to 40
The announcement OF the vote was
received with great applause in the
House. Its advocates were Jubiant,
while the silver people were dazed
at the majority against them. 1t is
believed that the large vote for the
bill will do much to restore business
confidence throughout the country.
West Virginia's delegation was di-
vided on the question. The author
of the bill, Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, voted
for it, OF course, as did Mr.. Capehart.
Messrs. Anderson and Pendleton voted
against it.
The bill now goes to the Senate for
action. There are some who believe
it will go through the Senate as
promptly as it did through the House.
There is no reason why it should not.
The silver Senators may try to stave
off vote by dilatory tactics, but this
action will meet with such emphatic
disapproval from the people that it
will not be kept up long.
