UNLIMITED GALL.

In the set speech which Governor
Mckinley is bowling about the coun-
try, the following statement occurs:
The democratic party has been in CON.
troll of every branch of the government
since the 4bh day Of March, 1898. It's legis-
lative branch was in session for twelve
months, yet it gave no silver legislation
whatever, except TO strike down the Sher-
man law at its special session called for
chat purpose, and in response to the urgent
recommendation from a democratic presi-
dent.
Now in view of the vote upon that
repeal bill this statement is a mani
feststion Of gall that is seldom
equalled, never excelled. In the
house the vote stood for repeal,
democrats, 1873; republicans, 1O1; to.
tai, 239. Against repeal, democrats,
80; republicans, II; Populists, IL;
total, 1O8. Now suppose we take the
1O1 republicans from the affirmative
vote and add them to the negative
vote. The result would then stand
as follows: For repeal, 138; against
repeal, 2O9. This is how the repeal
bill would have come out in the
house if republicans had voted
against "the urgent recommendation
from democratic president" instead
Of for it.
How was it in the senate? The
vote stood for repeal, republicans,
26; democrats, %; total, 48. Against
repeal, republicans, IL; democrats,
%; Populists, 3; total, 81. Now sup
pose the republican senators had
voted against the urgent recon-
mendstion from q democratic presi-
dent" instead of for it. The vote
then would have been as follows:
For repeal, democrats, total %.
Against repeal, republicans, 81; dem
ocrats, %; Populists, 8; total, 63. In
the face of these facts Mckinley and
republican editors and stump speak
ers generally, have the gall to charge
the repeal of the purchasing clause
Of the Sherman law to the democratic
party, and upon such methods Of de-
ception they build their hopes.

therefore,
Resolved, That we learn with extremC
dissatisfaction that our representative, Hon.
3. N. Morrill,, has failed TO represent, with
regard 10 service pensions, the wishes Of
those TO whose votes he owes his position.
Resolved, That the bill known as the Nor
rill pension bill fails to meet the just
claims Of the eX.soldiers Of the republic,
does mot correspond 10 the pledges Of the
republican party, does not express The will
Of the patriotic people Of Che country.
Resolved, That bhe Morrill, bill, IL passed,
viii, in our opinion, effectively prevent the
passage Of service pension bill in the inn
mediate future.
Resolved, That We call the attention Of
our representative, Hon. e. N. Morrill,, TO
the fact that his pension bill is not in aid
Of those veterans who bore the bEunt Of
battle for series Of years, for this class, as
the result Of long and severe service and
exposure, are for che most part already
dead, or win survive the age Of 60 but few
years at most.
Resolved, That we ask consideration Of
service pension before the consideration of
appropriations for public buildings, river
and harbOr Improvements, steamship sub
sides, and for che construction Of war ves-
sells and coast defense, for which there is
no demand By the people and no necessity
in view Of our relations 70 other powers.
This was at q time when partisan
politics did not influence the verdict
respecting Major Morrilrs course in
congress. The Peoples party was
not yet organized, and the psuper
pension bill was considered upon it's
merits. The Judgment of soldiers
respecting it was then uninfuenced
by the strong partisan bias which is
brought to bear upon Kansas veter-
ans at this time.
But this is not all. There is other
good republican testimony upon the
subject. Prince Hal wrote q letter to
the Western Veteran, which reads as
follows:
EDITOR WESTERN VETHRAN:-I see by the
dispatches and letters that our friends at
Washington claim TO have solved the SER
vice pension bill by indorsing Comrads
MorrillS bill, which axes the age at 90 years
when the boys ShV shave become the bens-
fiCiaries Of the government msgnsnimity.
This does not suit me, and, ID is to be pre-
Sumed, Will not satisfy the old soldiers.
ComEade Morrill, forgets that Che average
age Of his comrades now living is Hxed by
death rate Of Che past, and that il is less
than 90 years, and this bill Of his fixes the
benefit period seven years after death. OF
course, many will live; but large number
never viii realize the provisions Of his pro-
posed law. We do not want any such
monkey business. Very truly yours,
]. R. HAILowBLL.
Wichita, Kas., March 81, 1890.
Of course, the prince is now whoop.
ing il up for Morrill, and telling the
old soldiers the wonderful things
that he has done for them, but this
letter shows what he thought Of him
when there was no politics in it. But
there is more Of this good republican
testimony Of still later date. COTS
Advance is a republican paper pub
lish' d at COTS, Kas., and is now sup
porting the republican ticket with
the exception Of Morrill,. In its issue
of September 1S. 1894, it gives the

FRIEND.


open letter addressed "to the veter-
ans LIVING in Kansas" which evi-
IDENTIFY receives it's inspiration from
the Morrill, fixers. In 1t the old
soldiers of "the great soldier state Of
Kansas are exhorted to vote foI
Morrill, for governor because Of his
great service to them while in con-
gress. The letter says:
Probable more than any other man now
in public life and who served in the house
Of Representatives, he is identified with the
pension legislation now on the statute
books, and of which the comrades every
where have had the benefits, . e" He
helped TO formulate what Is now known GS
the disability act of June q, 1890, urged its
passage for years, and finally secured this
while chairman Of the committee. While
the disability bill was not all that many
desired, it was the very best that could be
obtained from congress.
In another editorial upon the same
page, the editor urges the soldiers to
vote solidly for "straight-out repub-
lican nominees" and see that every
person they can influence does the
same thing. Why? It is a we'll
known fact that the republican party
has kept the pension question now
for a quarter Of a century in an un-
settled state for the sole purpose Of
making it, from year to year, the
ground of future promises and in
order to work upon the prejudices
and appeal to the personal interests
Of the soldiers for republican sup.
port.
In 1890 the republican party had
the executive and both branches of
congress. Why was not the pension
question settled then for all time?
Why was the contemplate pauper
pension bill substituted for the SER
vice pension bill demanded by the
soldiers and promised by the repub-
liCan psrtyl Why was the pauper
bill "the very best that could be OBJ
tanned from congress-" Did not re-
publiCans have everything their own
way at that tiuaeG We will intro
duOe no Populist testimony upon this
subject. We will let republicans
and old soldiers answer the ques-
tions, and if the veterans Of Kansas
can see 10 their answer why any
soldier should feel under special OBJ
legations to Major Morrill,, they can
see farther than we can. The Ness
County Veteran association, at Ness
City, May 3, 1890, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That We denounCe all such sub
tsrfuges as the dependent pension bill and
the Morrill, substitute, and demand Of law
makers that they pass straight service
pension bill.
On April "a, 1890, George Graham
post, G. A. R., at Seneca, Kas,,
adopted the following resolutions:

Detectives Say They Have Found
Two More Victims.

Since the imprisonment OF the seventy
year-old thief, Mrs. Carrie Reese, on

where she has committed a theft her
victims were put TO sleep, II IL alleged,
by some kind of drug, only to awaken
with a sickening headache and dis
cover the old woman gone and cash or
clothing missing.
Since her last imprisonment she has
told the story of her. life, In which she
admitted to having been arrested four
times. As far as the drugging Is con-
cerned, she said that Is entirely false.
The first time she was arrested was fif-
teen years ago. when she was accused
OF robbing grocer. She was released
the next day.
The second time was five years later,
when she was charged with stealing
Jewelry. She says she was innocent, but

She was sentenced to Ave years In the
penitentiary. but through good behavior

mics that she drugged them. A watch

mistress to take a glass of claret. This
Is said to have thrown Mrs. Stradinger
into stupor. When she awoke, at 2.30
O'Clock on Saturday morning, she found
the door unlocked and Carrie gone.
A glance at the bureau drawer in
which she had kept her savings showed
that 1t had been forced open and the
money was gone. ON reading OF Mrs.
