OHIO AGAINST THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

The Ohio delegation in congress has
held caucus and has decided unani-

ule of the tariff bill as it now stands and
to do everything in its power To place
sugar on the free list. This is the first
formal action by any state delegation on
this subject, but the example will doubt
less be followed by the representatives
from other states within the next few
days for the purpose of demonstrating
to the senate that no such provision as
that furnished by the sugar trust can be-

been brought to par with coin. To che

Topeka,s Alleged Sensation.

Shawnee county has a county Rttor-
ney, H. G. Stafford, who is in q sorry pre-
dicsment. Since he, with other county
officials, succeeded in getting the dis
strict court to decide in favor Of the
Topeka club in the famous liquor case q
year ago, Stafford has been trying to
stand in solid with both the joint and
the anti. joint elements. He is hypo-
critic of the rRnkest kind. Recently the
temperance people began holding meet
ings as q means OF reViVing the prohi-
bition sentiment in the city, and Of
course, Stafford was with them. He
wants to be reelected. He said he
would be glad TO prosecute the jolntists
il the police department would furnish
him information regarding them. In
accordance with this proposition the
police force began getting up the inform
alton, but never case would Stafford
touch. He had a plan in view which
would serve his political purposes better,
and besides that he was on very init.
mate terms with some Of the joint men
himself, just as most county attorneys
are when they are candidates for re-
Gle, ton.
There was 9 joint man in town named
John H. MoWilliams. He had been
under arrest for several kinds Of mis-
demeanor and had been allowed to get
away. Then he was captured in Wa
bsunses county and brought back. Why
he was pursued was plainly understood
when on the 26th Stafford procured from
him and had published an affidavit to
the effect that he had at different times
paid money 10 the chief and captain Of
police for the privilege Of selling liquor
on the club plan. This affidavit, with
comments as to Safford's vigilance and
the dishonesty Of the Populist police
officers was used to great effect by the
Topeka and other republican papers,
just as is usual in such cases.
The ADVOCATE has no means Of know
ing how much truth ia in this statement
of McWilliamR, except the word OF Chief
Lindsay and Captain Gish, who deny it,
but it is certainly q very questionable,
not to say dlsreputable, proceeding in
County Attorney Stafford to resort to
this means of getting evidenos, after
he has eVsdsd his plain duty times with
out number. McWillisms Is q notori-
ouSly bad character, whose oath not one
citizen out OF q hundred would believe.
And even il it is taken "a good evidence,
the result does not relieve Stafford from
criticism for his hypocrisy. This kind
OF work is getting to be an old story in
Kansas.
