LEWELLINgs CIRCULAR
TO POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

lSSu6u ClEculbr 10 bu0 pOltC0 COm"
missioners of the several cities
wherein it is first officially declared
that the man who is simply idle and
poor is not therefore criminal; and
that he shall not be regarded and
treated as such so long as he refrains
from unlawful acts and does not en-
croach upon the rights Of others.
We are confronted to-day with very
peculiar conditions, peculiar, not be-
cause they are new, but because they
are 80 entirely unnecessary. In a
land of unlimited resources, and of
most marvellous plenty, millions of
honest and willing hands are idle and
in consequence thereof, they and
those dependent upon them, are suf-
fering from hunger and cold. These
unnecessary conditions are the result
of our vicious social and economic
system. Idleness is enforced in con-
sequence of vicious and discrimi-
mating laws, and to treat the helpless
victims of these unnatural conditions
as criminals Is itself q crime against
which every instinct of humanity re-
volts.
As might readily have been ex-
peCted the Capital makes a vicious
attack upon this circular, and if any
thing was needed to demonstrate that
the governor is right IN the stand he
has taken, it Is afforded by this fact.
The Capital has not been known to
be right upon any question for a long
time. Let us look at some of the
declarations of this double-lesded
editorial. It says:
There is no comparison between the poor
people Of America and those Of England in
the reign of Elizabeth, nor those in France
under the government Of diSsolute mon
REchy.
WhyG Is poverty more tolerable
in one age than in another? Are the
poor of America poor from choice
any more than were those in the
reign Of Queen Elizabeth, or in
France under a "dissolute monsrchyP
Is a dissolute monarchy any worse
than q dissolute republics What is
the difference anyway between pow
erty IN the enc case and in the otaerl
The Capital is too fluent in assertion
and too delinquent in proof. Again
we quote:
Wages are higher, homes are better, en-
ployment more general, education freer,
and here in Kansas absolute want is almost
unknown even in the stringent times Of the
past three years.
What matters 1t to the man who
is not employed, who has no home,
who is deprived of the privileges of
education, and tUho is in absolute
lUant, if everything in the above dec
laration were true? The Capital
itself says in this same editorial that
there is an idle army of traMps in
this country, which it concludes
are al criminals who would
rather steal than work" How does
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-12-06

portunity to work? ls it fair to make
this indiscriminste charge against a
million or more Of idle men to whom
there is no place open for employ
ment? The Capital makes an unfor-
tunate slip in the above also when it
speaks Of 'the stringent times Of the
last three years." Only last week it
declared that these stringent times
began with the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland; and that one year
ago this country was in the enjoy
ment of unparalleled prosperity.
Again:
The tramp who reaches the rock pile in
Topeka is not the innocent poor man seek
ing employment, but the professional
vsgrant who lives by stealing and begging.
Where is the proof of this? Who
knows the motives that actuste the
idle men who are moving about from
place to place in this country to-day?
Who is empowered to declare them
all bad characters, regardless of the
unknown circumstances that are re-
sponsible for their condition? There
is a spirit of barbarous cruelty rum
ming through this editorial that
would do credit to the age of the In
QUESTION. Again:
Who supports the state, who builds the
schools and churches and public inStitu-
tions, governor? Are they who do this not
entitled TO proteCtion3
Most sssuredly. And are not the
poor, the unemployed, the homeless
and the friendless likewise entitled
to protection? Is it not a funda-
mental principle of the republic as
originally constituted, that the poorest
citizen is as much entitled to protec-
tion under the laws as the one who
occupies the most exalted position?
The Capital in this instance, as in
every other, seeks to manufacture
sentiment by deceiving its readers.
Whoever reads the governors procla.
nation cannot fail to observe that he
offers no apology for crime, nor does
he propose to shield the criminal
from justice. What he does propose
is that idleness and poverty shall not
be included IN the list of crimes de-
serving of punishment; and in this
hs will be sustained by all humane
people without regard to party. We
unhesitstingly declare this to be the
most commendable act Of any admin.
lstrstion of recent years, and We shall
take pleasure in upholding..the gov
ernor in the execution of 80 humane q
measure. It is one that has been too
long delayed already and the cruelty
and barbsrity that have been prac-
ticed upon the poor in the name Of
the law under former administrations,
if brought to the light of day, as it is
likely to be, will shock the refined
sensibilities of the people, and cause
them to wonder if such things can be
in this age and country. If the Capt.
tai desires to see these things exposed
it can be accommodated.

TIE OPERA nOUsE.
A Meeting of the Board of Directors Yes
terday Afternoon.

terday Afternoon.
The Disappearance Of Manager All.
Rheinstrom, of the Opera House, is still
much talked about throughout the city.
The gross amount OF his indebtedness
is greater than at first supposed, and in
stead of 50, 900, as estimated Saturday
night, it may foot I'D double that sum.
One note for 81, 900, or two for $500 each
are said to be in existence, besides num-
erous small sums OF borrowed money
and miscellaneous bills TO business men.
Yesterday the manager OF "Mr. VIII
kinson's Widows" refused to go on with
last evenings entertainment unless the
attachments on the money on hand from
the advance sale and to be taken in at
the box Office were released. His con-
tract called for 70 per cent, and natu-
rally he wanted it. After some confer
ences among certain Of Rheinstrom's
creditors it was agreed 10 release so
much Of the money as would fall TO the
company under the contract and also
to pay the expenses Of the house, the
surplus, If any, to be divided pro rata
among the creditors who had attached,
and this was carried out.
The Board of Directors OF the Ger
man Insurance Company met at )
o'clock yesterday afternoon and spent an
hour or so in talking over the situation
in all its phase. No definite conclusion
was reached, but the committee consist
ing Of MessrS. L. c. Stifel and f. Reister
was appointed with full power to act in
the matter. This committee will con-
fer with Senator Scott, and will likely
come to some conclusion to-day. The
probabilities are that the Board will
take charge of the house for the remain
der of the season, as Of old, and that
Mr.. Reister will resume his old position
as Manager. Last night Mr.. Reister
was in control as agent, and Mr.. Viewig
was back in his old quarters in the box
Office.

sensational drama, and the scenery and
mechanical effects were fine. The COM
pany is good one, and taking it alto
gether the show is far above the aver
age. To night will be the last appear
ance of this drama, and all lovers of
sensational play, will find what they

1.-THE Midnight Alarm" is drama
illustrating real life in great city and
exciting incidents in the life of fire.
man. 1.-The Midnight Alarm" has mel
odrama, comedy and speciality features
and fine scenery, and has been cleverly
reconstructed oy Leander Richardson,
editor of the New York Dramatic NelCS,
and also author Of Nat Goodwin's
Nominee, THE Millionaire" and
other successes. The company carry
car load Of beautiful scenery and pro-
duce wonderful mechanical effects.
Notable among these are the Brooklyn
Bridge and the Statue of Liberty with
Brooklyn in the distance, Uncle Gid
cons farm, the fight Of the lightning
express, railroad draw bridge, interior
and exterior Of Engine House No. 6,
New York City. There is great excit-

alarm, and the rush OF the steamer
drawn by two beautiful horses is said
20 be very realistic. This great play
will be at the Grand the last three

SELF fame and fortune, and reached the
highest rung in the ladder Of dramatic
fame, and his management Of the alvin

landmarks Of success in the theatrical
armament. He swrote his own plays,
designed his entire printing and directs
his own rehearsals, and IL is the only
case on record in the theatrical business
that a star has accomplished all this
with success, as actors usually make
bad managers and vice versa.

A Rattle For lInby.

A novel and pretty baby rattle is made Of
four yards of cap wire, half n yard of rib.
bon, nine bells, Il strip of sateen, some cot
ton wool and II short length of macrame
twine. Commence with folding the wire
into four and bend it into the shape of a
racket; over this wind the cotton wool
then bind the satcen all round to make il
neat. Now take the macrame Irvine and
thread it across each way to form the net
work in the center. Procure one ounce of
double Berlin wool Of a pretty color, and
crochet over the edges of the racket with
four double crochet in each space between
the network. Work round the edge again
with II double crochet in every other
stitch; fasten off.
For the handle work three chain, eight
double crochet into loop, two double Gro.
Chef into each of eight double, and con.
tinue working one double crochet into each
of 16 stitches until a sufficiently large piece
for the handle is worked, slip it over tho
handle and sew it to the other part of the
crochet work, tie a bow of ribbon to hide
where it is sewn, and sew the nine bells at
regular intervals all round the racket.
Make a ball by working double crochet
round and round until it is the desired size.
then decrease it by taking two double to-
Rether. Stulf it with cotton wool and sew
it to the network of the racket.-Brooklyn

In another column IS a communica-
ton from W. W. Barrett, state superin-
tendent of irrigation and forestry, re-
garding the observance of Arbor day.
Mr.. Barrett is eve Jealous and enthusi-
astlc, when the planting of trees and
shrubs is concerned, and in his article
to-day will be found many suggestions,
worthy of serious thought. While es-
sentially d prairie state, the experiments
of Mr.. Barrett have proven that trees,
with an ordinary amount of care, can be
raised with success, and to the pleasure
aud profit of him who plants them. It
is not to be expected of course, that the
state will ever be covered with dense
forests, such as are peculia tor many of
the states. Indeed, such a thing would
not be desired, eve if possible. But
there is no reason that the towns and
cities, their avenues and drives should
not be beautiied by the presence of
good, thrifty trees. Around and about
the home, also, is there opportunity for
much improvement in this line. The
observance of Arbor DE-; should be
general, and the result of a general OBJ
servance will be tiuly gratifying in the
future.

Cooking Steaks and Chops.

A steak or a brace of chops must be we'll
trimmed. Some fat is always left on the
beefsteak unless it is a tenderloin; but the
chops should be trimmed quite free from
all suspicion of tallow. They should be
laid on the gridiron, held close to the blaz-
ing Goals, first OF n side and then on the
other. to scar over the surface. Then they
should be raised from the fire about three
or four inches. They must be turned
every two minutes. When a steak an inch
and a half thick has cooked 10 min
utes, it will usually be ready to serve.
Every time a drop Of fat falls into the fire
the steak must be lifted up to allow the
blaze to pass off. If the hampers are all
turned on, as they should be in broiling,
this will take but an instant. Beefsteak
and mutton chops are always improved by
rubbing them with a little sweet oil,
seasoning them with salt and pepper and
busting them with -four before they are
cooked. Nothing shows so quickly refine
ment in matters of the table as the proper
cooking of simple hes.-Pittsburg Bull
