Correction.

The VOICE makes a practice of
keeping few columns of stereotype
plates on hand from which to fill out
the forms in an emergency, practice
that is almost universal among news
papers. Last week we used two col
umns Of these pilates" on the eighth
page and without examining the mat
ter thci contained as we OTdinarially
do, printed a palpable error, which
we take occasion to correct. 1t was
statement that Governor Lewelling
had ye,OCd a railroad bi ! and giving
his reasons therefor. 1t was first pub
liShcd in the NeW Nation and the in
forma ion is supposed to have been
given by one Mr.. Eltweed PomerOy, a
young man of New Jersey who was
visiting in Kansas. Mr.. POmerOy was
undoubtedly miSinformed. He is bad
ly of in lis statements in many par
ticulars. The railroad bill was de-
feated 10 the conference committee
and never passed, much less going to
the governor for his signature.
III is So unusual for the VOICE to get
caught up on its statements that it
created quite cOmmOtiOn among our
friend. the enemy. So much so that
the Wichita Eagle, paper that is too
narrow to exchange with a paper that
cenSurcS its political inconsistencies
as the VOICE has, takes it up and
charges Is with falSifying. If that
proud bird had a printer on its staff it
would have known that the article in
question was plates and not an edi-
tOrial expression at all. If the Eagle
and the fellows who carried the paper
around this town twitting POpulists
about it would always be as free to
correct their own misStatementS and
wilfnl falsificatiOns as the VOICE has
been in this instance, and is always
ready and willing to do, they would
bear better reputation for yeracity,
and enjoy the confidence of the people
to an extent equal to that enjoyed by
the VOICE.

light Of the quotations made from its
CO. INNS Of 1890 we certainly did not
expect it to have very much to say
Those quotations were intended to
have a similar effect on the editor OF
the Monitor to that produced on the
urchin who was run over by the calf.
1t is a little amusing however to
hear him say that his attitude in 1896
was that Ofgiving 'liberal treatment
to silver. How does that tally with
the remark that 1.-THE Sherman bill
in its present shape is as liberal as
anything short Of free-cOinage could
possibly be made?" 1t evidently
thought then that there could be a
little more liberality shown to silver,
and it assured its readers that it
would not be long till it was done.
Now in 1893 it comes up and says that
1t has fought the craze to the best
of its ability from the startm We
suggest that Campbell get down on
his knees as quickly as possible and
go to praying. Lose no time, neigh.
Dor. Your sin is so grieyous that the
bridegroom may come before you
get forgiveness.
As to the sub-treasury plan, that
has always been thorn in the Mon
itOr'S side, and so long as it approves
of a Sub-treasury for silver producers
and for national banks we don't see
why it ought to find so much fault
with the farmers sub-treasury. The
VOICE still claims that the sub-treas-
ury plan is all right, but there appear
to be some who think that better
plan can be devised by which the end
sought may be accomplished, that of
securing larger and more flexible
volume of currency, and we are will
ing to leave the congress of the United
States to devise the plan. The end
is what we are after, and we defy the
Monitor to show wherein the VOICE
has ever disOwned or discredited this
or any other principle it has advo-
Gated.
We have shown the Monitor, how
ever, to be a mere time-server, advo-
eating from year to year whatever its
party dictated, having no views of its
own. One year lead the people to be-
lieve that free-cOinage is republican
doctrine" in order to catch votes and
the next year call it monumental
folly" and an APPALLING menace"

A great elevator was built in We'll
lingtOn and as soon as it was finished
loud dissertation was INDUCED in by
the newspapers about the great bene-
lit that would accrue to the farmers
by its erection. The men who built
it were commended for their enter
prise and held up to the people as
public benefactOrs. A few days since
a prominent merchant seeing the
drag in business and attributing the
cause to the low price of wheat,
thought he would stimulate the local
wheat market little by buying up a
lot and storing it in Wellington's big
elevator. He thought the wheat
ought to be a good investment at the
present price, and thought also that
he might afford to spring the price
little in return for the increased trade
he would receive. He consulted the
elevator folks and after much parley-
ing ascertained that he could have
the storage if he would agree to buy
in the markets Of some of the outside
towns, or take it in carload lots from
them. The elevator folks evidently
were not in favor of the price being
sprung in the local market. The en-
terprise of such companies is of course
OF great value to communicated
farmers and merchants. (?)
While we are on this subject we
might say that there is no combine in
existence, aside from the railroads.
that effects the consumer and produc-
er in Kansas so much as the millers
combine. They in a measure control
the farmers price of wheat and alb
s0lutely nix the price of flour to the
consumer. At this time No. 2 wheat
is worth about 40 cents for so pounds,
while 80 pounds of -four costs the con-
sumer I'D gradel IS cents. We don't
know much about the milling bust
ness but we do know that this dis
crepancy is too great. 1t requires
only little common sense to discover
this fact. These combines will get
too arrogant after awhile and the peo-
pie will go after them.

1t is now suggested by a Senator
from far off Washington that the
present congress should pass joint
resolution allowing the president to
deal with the silver question in his
own discretion. That would simplify
matters wonderfully and save lots of
wire-pulling and Office-bribing. Why
not abolish the constitution and hand
over our boasted independence to this
pseudo king?

When the coal strike broke out they
condemned the Governor for express
ing his sympathy with the miners.
Later they condemned him for not
calling out the militia to protect the
property of the owners and accom-
panied it, of course, with that old
chestnut, anarchist" Then when
the Governor began to be fearful lest
the miners might get turbulent when
they saw negroes going into the mines
in their places, and got the militia
ready for service in case of necessity,
he was condemned for so doing and
held up TO the miners as their enemy.
We would direct the attention of
the Monitor to the fact that the pres
ent state government is not being run
for the especial purpose of pleasing
Republican newspapers. Governor
Lewelling is doing his duty regardless
of friend or foe. His sympathies were
undoubtedly with the miners because
he knew that the corporations were
taking advantage of them, but he nor
any other Populist with the possible
exception of those directly concerned
in the strike, ever advised violence.
The Monitor and its contemporaries
knew full well that the Governor al
ways advised the opposite. Such base
attempts to make political capital
fall with their own weight. The fact
is that it is doubtful if under Repub-
lican administration such crisis
would have been passed without blood
shed. Kansas has witnessed a law
passed for the protection of her MIN
erS from the rapacity of corporations;
she has witnessed this law ruthlesSly
set aside in its practical effects; she
has witnessed the effort of her indus
triOuS, hard working citizens to re-
sent and prevent the usurpatiOn of
the corporations, and she has wit
messed them stand sullenly by and
permit these enimies of individualism
to fill their places with foreign ne
groeS; starvation staring many of
them in the face and still they re-
Trained from violence at the advice
of their best friends, the state govern
ment. And now that they did so
Republican papers are endeavOring
to turn them against their friends be-
cause they so advised them.
Time and again POpulist leaders
have told the strikers that their rem
edies were at the ballot-box, and still
they are charged with instigating
strikes and practicing anarchy. We
call the attention of the railroad boys
of Wellington to the fact that when
they get into trouble with their en-
ployers they may expect no sympathy
whatever from the Wellington Mon
itor. At this late day strikes Except
at the ballot-box) are useless, but the
spirit of fairness will break out oc-
casionally, nevertheless, and when
they do, such ''stabs" as the Monitor
gives the participants are anything
but cOnsOling to them.

The despised silver dollar brought
$3.50 premium on the thousand in
New York last Saturday, on account
of the scarcity of currency with which
large concerns are compelled to pay
their employees. Think of it, A sill
yer dollar that is only worth SO cents
as bullion sellin. at a premium above
dollar. What was the cause of it?
Not because of the precious metal in
it for that was only worth 80 cents.
What was the cause? Nothing more
nor less than the fact that it was
legal tender and the men who paid
the premium to get it knew that it
would meet their obligations. Was
there ever a better exemplif1catiOn

The Peoples Voice, the Pop organ
at Wellington, in its last weeks issue
contained an article that it meant to
palm off on its readers as original. but
which was copied from some EASTERN
paper. in which the bold declaration
is made that the Republicans of the
last state legislature passed a railroad
bill that was maliCiously, wickedly
partisan in its provisions, but that
Governor Lewelling promptly vetoed
the bill and thus thwarted the in
famous scheme. 1.-THE statement was
true, what were the Pop majority in
the senate doing to permit the pas
sage by that body of such a bad meas
ure? The truth is no railroad bill
reached the governor for his approval
or veto, and the publisher of the Voice
knew it. The campaign of lying is
still on.
InaSmuch as the Eagle cut the
VOICE off its exchange list some time
last fall following serious expose of
the inconsistency of its red-headed
editor on the calamity" questions of
the day, we had supposed it never
read the VOICE any more. But like
the man who stops his paper it seems
that he has to hunt it up once in a.
while to discover his bearings. Sure
enough he has caught the VOICE lying.
We admit it. We lied. But in extern
uatiOn we plead that the lie was pre-
pared in a Republican institution in
Omaha, Neb., and crept into our col
umnS unawareS. We shall watch
these ready-made editorials in the
future, especially if they come from
a press association that has any Sus-
piciOn of being managed by Republi-
cans.

The editor of the VOICE has gone to
the trouble of Oyerhauling our files
for the past three years to find out
something that he could use to con-
vict us of having endorsed the free
coinage fad. He hasn't discovered
anything of the sort. Three or four
paragraphs where a liberal treatment
of silver was favored, Jour own senti-
ments right now, by the way and the
Sherman law endorsed as having all
the possible advantages of free-coinage
without any Of its dangers, he finds,
and by peppering them up with small
caps and allowing his intelligent COM
pOSitOr to butcher out of them what
ever sense or meaning they originally
contained, tries to palm them off as
endorsements of the free-cOinage idea.
If We had ever knowingly printed a
line that could fairly be interpreted
TO mean that we took any stock in
that monumental folly, we would be
down on our knees right now praying
the good Lord to forgive us. We hope

qugrters-a place for literature, supplies
and committee meetings 1t seemed too
greas an undertaking for the present, yet
the matter continued to be eagerly dis
cussed and commented upon. Aug. -, In

the matter decided. The union would
have headquarters. The work WAS push
ed rapidly. A contract with the Young
Mems Christian association was drawn
up, arranging for the finishing Of room
on the third floor of the y. II. c. A. build
ing. 1t WAS decided to ask each en-
deavorer in the city (there are some seven
hundred) to contribute 10 cents toward
paying for the finishing of said room,
which would pay the rent for one year.
Yesterday the treasurer of the union
association, and the headquarters are now
assured.

union and the loyalty and enthusiasm of
the several societies. Before the head
quarters can be formally opened, they
must be furnished. To do this an enter
tainment will be given. the proceeds OF
which will go toward furnishing the head
quarters. The program will be varied.

INUNDATED,

The EAGLE dislikes very much to pub
lish to tine world that our county warrants
are being peddled on our streets at dis
count, but it is a duty nevertheless to
sound the alarm to let the taxpayers of
this county know that the county is in
the hands of a board of commissioners a
majority OF whom are not the competent.
efficient Republicans who for seventeen
years had preserved the good name of this
the most prosperous county in the state,
but is now administered upon by men
who were elected as reformers on the plea
that there was a court house ring that was
Systematically robbing the taxpayers,
and these men instead of spending their
time in informing themselves as to the
condition Of affairs in the different offices
of the county by examination and inquiry
of the different officials. and thereby learn
how to conduct the business, how to meet
the contingencies, learning how their pre-
decessors had so successfully conducted
the affairs of the county, spend it drawing
their salaries and going it blind in their
business acts. And this is why county war
rants are selling for less than their face,
snd the people of this county are asked to
perpetuate these men in Office.
