A Letter From Mrs. Lease.

Blair Manufacturing Co., laurence, KaS:
DEAR SIRs: Never before have en-
dorsed or recommended any medicine,
but in the present case I cannot refrain
from expressing my gratitude to you and
letting the millions who suffer from sick
headache know that they can be cured
by using your wonderful Crucial Dys-
pepsia Tablets" have been q martyr
for fifteen years from nervous and sick
headache, and Notwithstanding / tried
medicines and doctors innumerable,
never obtained any permanent relief, and
but seldom temporary relief, until be-
gan to use the tablets. / have tested
them for six weeks thoroughly, and can
not say enough in their praise nor ac-
knowledge my gratitude sufficiently.
Sincerely yours, MARY e. LEASE.

resignation will probably forestsll any

True as Gospel.

The great obstruction in the way of
the temperance cause in this country is
due to selfish. policy working schemers
and political frauds. 1t is q fact that
must be recognized, sooner or later, that
the whisky element, the Office seeking
fraternity, and capitalistic influences are
all floating in the same channel. To
support one Of this tiendish trio is to
support all; to bring into subsection one,
is to bring into subsection all. He that
stands by thewhlsky power is practically
sustaining the abuses which have their
origin in cspitalistic influences. These
are points Of vital Importance in connec-
tion with our political history; and as we
meet the evil as existing in one so we
must meet the evilin all, or fail in the
great work undertaken.--People's Ad-
vocRte.

The Ex-Ioputy Bank Commissioner.

Bank Commissioner BreidenthRl evi-
IDENTIFY thinks there is no better way to
dispose Of a fool than to publish what he
says about himself, therefore he requests
the ADVOCATE to publish a letter from
John T. Showslter, in which the ex-dep-
uty bank commissioner makes feeble
attempt to clear himself from the charge
that he had been doing" the state with
an outrageous expense account while in
Office.
This letter was published in the Capt.
tai, which had failed to notice the
charges made against Mr.. Showalter,
but was quite willing to help defend him
in his crookedness. The ADVOCATE will
be more impartial, and will publish Mr..
Showalter's letter next issue.

of court.

r. B. Welch, the Douglass house SER

was elected a member Of the school
board in Topeka last week, but he ran
about 900 votes behind DR.. Jones, who
was elected mayor on the same ticket.
That's the way Welch was vindicated for
trying to call out railroad shop men for
the defense of the Douglass house.
The embezzlement case against W. H.
Billingsles, the defaulting assistant su-

from the Shawnee county district court
last week by the county attorney. Some
of the city papers and press correspond

on the advice of the attorney general or
his assistant, which is not true. Assist

should be prosecuted, while General Lit

the contrary.

"THE city's credit" was the main

tion not yet passed? Must men still
be msligned, their motives assailed,
and their influence for good destroyed
through prejudices arising from DIFF
ferences of religious opinion? We
are led to these reflections in view of
the recent assault of the Rev. j. G.
White, of Stanford, ILL.,, upon Mr.. 7.
V. Powderly, general master work
man of the Knights of Labor. At
the meeting of the Milwaukee Minis
ters' Association on March 6, this rev.
erend bigot said:
81 have convincing proofs that Pope Leo,
Cardinal Gibbons, sixty clergy and bishops
and ten srchbishops are backing a man
who is eDdeavoring to raise a revolution in
this country"
"Who is that manP'
"That man is T. V. Powderly, who, under
the pretext of aiding and assisting the la
boring man, is plotting, with the aid of the
Roman Catholic church, to overthrow this
country"
Mr.. Powderly is too we'll known by
the people of this country, and has
been too long identified with the in
terests and The welfare of the COM
mon people to suffer permanent
injury from the assaults of such
graceless hypocrites as the Rsv. j. G.
White. While there Is DO doubt that
his narrow mind would rejoice in the
opportunity to cast reproach upon a
rival church, there is reason to be-
lieve that the motive of this attack
was not altogether for this purpose.
Mr. PoWderly is intimately identified
with the peoples movement against
plutocracy. His influence is every
where felt and acknowledged. 1t is
of the utmost Importance that this in
fuence should be impaired and, if
possible, destroyed. Hence a tool is
sought and found in the person of
this reverend gentleman who is will
lag to exhibit his ssslnine qualities
by an appeal to religious prejudice.
We have no sympathy with the
Catholic religion further than to rec
ognize the equal right of Catholic
people with those of all other
churches, to the full enjoyment of
their forms of worship and of their
peculiar religious belief. This Is one
of the rights that were most sacredly
guarded by the founders of the re-
public, and it will be a sorry day for
the American people when it is per-
mitted to be sssailed without protest.
The Rev. J. G. White and all who
are disposed to sympsthize with him
should pause and reflect that the
weapon he seeks to employ against
Mr.. Powderly is "a very dangerous
one. 1t is one whose employment in
the ages past has been attended with
direst coBseqdences to humanity, and
neither he or his own church are
secure against It's influence should
the days of religious persecution be
again revived. He is treading upon
dangerous ground; and he and his

though poorly enforced, do that which,
if generally accomplished in Ameri-
can cities, would make this republic a
model. In ten years city of $4,000

powerful municipal ring, and with
sad extremes of wealth and poverty,
has been transformed into city of

Gus people, with almost no business
failures; with savings-banks piling UP
large deposits; with last weeks bank
clearances nearly 200 per cent. greater
than those of the corresponding week
of last year, and this gain going on
constantly; with the workingmen,
once an engine of misTule, now a re-
liable power for honesty in public at
fairs; with the better element easily
in control at all times and carrying all
city elections, almost without effort;
with the worse elements discouraged
aud submissive; with churches and
schools dominant, and with nearly
5000 students enrolled in colleges
within the city limits. This did not
come without fierce opposition, riot
ing and even assassination; but it has
come, and 1t is what America needs
every where, even if it must involve
martrydom here and there"

One of the best illustrations OF
