amount being paid to the present
company for what has been
done and its concessions, and Sc
curing complete and permanent
control BY the United States,
II a bill Of that sort can be pre-
pared, it will receive the support
Of many members Of the House
who have been either indifferent
or opposed to all of the other
bills that have been introduced.
Representative Breckenridge,
of KY, will not have charge Of
the general deficiency appropria-
ton bill when it is reported to
the House, as he announced
weeks ago that he would. So
many protests were received from
members that chairman .Sayers
of the Appropriation committee
decided to take charge Of the de-
ficieney bill himself, and Mr.
Breekinridge was 50 informed,
This is said to have worried Mr..
Breckinridge more than any
thing that has occurred since
the jury found a verdict for Miss
Pollard, although he tries to
make light Of it by saying that
his campaign will take up so
much Of his time he will have
none to devote to the bill in
question.
Coxey, Brown and Jones are
again with the army Of the com
momweal, haYing been released
from jail yesterday. The men
at the Coxey camp as we'll as
those at the Calvin camp are
just now being we'll fed, the do
nations having been liberal dur
ing the last few days. The Gal
whites have promised to leave
as soon as they get their petitions
presented to Congress,
Senator Villas, chairman Of
the newly created Senate COM
mittee charged with granting
hearings to the representatives
of the various industrial armies,
has not announced when his
committee would get down to
work, but it is supposed that the
hearings will begin this week.

Petitions are being circulated

that Pearson's lane is almost inn

WASHINGTON i LETTER. ii I
From our regular correspondent,

| -
The democrats in charge of the
tariff bill are making heroic
efforts to get the final vote taken
this week, but the signs can
hardly be considered propitious
for them, and the cause is not
far to seek. Senators favorable
on the sugar trust--they are not
all on one side, either---are hesi-
tating, because Of the attitude Of
the democrats of the House
toward the sugar schedule, about
hurrying the tariff bill over to
the House. The movement a.
mong the democrats of the
House to defeat the sugar sched-
ule of the bill and put sugar of
all kinds on the free list, which
was begun when the sugar sched-
ule was adopted by the Senate,
has assumed formidable proper
tions and there is little doubt
if the tariff bill were at this time
in the hands of the House that
it would succeed. For that rea-
son the sugar trust Senators are
not anxious that the bill should
be hurried. They prefer to wait
until the agents of the trust can
do little missionary work in
the House. What will be the
result Of this missionary work is
not apparent, but there are
considerable number Of members
of the house who haye no idea of
being reelected even if they sue
ceed in getting renominated, and
that class of material can often
be easily influenced.
The sugar trust investigating
committee seems determined to
devote a large portion of its time
to witnesses who refuse to tell
what they know. instead of hear
ing those who dare not refuse to
answer questions - Senators,
Their latest dumb witness is Mr.
Chapman, a member of d New
York firm of brokers, who refus-
es to tell anything or to produce
the books of his firm. The com
mittee will turn him over to the
Grand Jury, although nothing
was said about furnishing Or try
ing to punish two members of
the house who refused to answer
questions.
The big strikes in various sec
tions of the country have brought
the question of Congressional
legislation providing for some
form of arbitration between em-
ployer and employee to the front
and several bills on the subject
have been introduced in the
House, one by Representative
Kiefer, of Mimi; Houk, of
Tenn, and Tawney, of Mimi,
The first two provide for a ma
tional board of arbitration, au-
thorized to act in all disputes
between employee and employers
but the last one proposes to
utilize the U. S. Circnit Courts
as arbitration boards, confning
their authority to controversies
between railroad companies do
ing an interstate bushes and
their employees. Mr.. Tawney
says his object is to make rail-
road strike or a lockout an inn
possibility,
The House Committee doesn't
like any of the Nicaragua canal
bills, although it favors the
building of the canal by this
government. 1t has instructed
a subcommittee to prepare a
new bill, taking care thatit shall
shut greedy spectators out oi
the scheme; provide for issuing
greenbacks instead of bonds tc

the enemy, are quite certain there
iS a great deal of contention about il.
And, again, there is a decided con-
fict Of authority as to who are the
fusiOnistg, and who middle Of the
road" Some place the state officers
in one category and some in another,
and the stshnChest, old-time Populist
is liable to wake up any morning and
learn by the papers that he has
topped and become q rank fusionist
The truth is this fusion ghost has be-
como a nightmare which hsunts
some people, even some Populists,

THEIR SIGNS DON'T AGREE

The professional politician is just
now lndustriOusly engaged in throw
ing up strsws to see which way the
wind blows, and the variety Of infer
ences drawn from these signs is
amusing. Some of them are quite
sure that an early Populist state con-
vention is to be held in the interest
of the "fusionists," while others are
quite sure the middle Of the road"
men want the early convention,
There seems to be some doubt as to
which wants the early and which
the late convention, yet our friends
The advocate., 1894-03-14

VERY few old party men can be
converted in politics after their party
has opened an election campaign and
begun beating drums and firing
guns This is a fact nobody will dis
pute. The time to do educational
work is before the campaign opens.
A man who knows where reform lit
erature ought to be placed and does
not try to place it now is wasting
time. Every day that passes leaves
the campaign of education that much
shorter This is q serious subject
The advocate., 1894-03-14

Some editors are so unsophsstlcated
sS to think that the only reason the
republican party lost its $4,000 ma
jOrity is that they nominated the
wrong men for state officers. Let
them keep on thinking so.
The advocate., 1894-03-14

land, but hanged IL we know what ID is.

That's an easy one. He has joined
hands with John Sherman to carry
out the republican financial policy Of
the Wall street gold-bugs.

THERE is yet some hope Of saving
the good name of Kansas, since q
movement has been started looking
toward the suppression Of lying cor
respondence to eastern papers.
The advocate., 1894-03-14

THE Kansan's hope of the future,
according to republican doctrine,
should be based on the prospect Of
borrowing some more money from
eastern investors. In other words
we are to beg loans of the money
sharks or else vacate the state

ing. The case has just been decide,
in the federal court at Wichita, AM
the decision holds the section Of th,
law fixing the residence of inmates o
the home in the counties they cam,
from TO be unconstitutional, and de
clares that they may legally vote il
the precinct where the home is 10
Gated. This had to be the decision
because any other would have de
prived the republican county clerk
elect Of his efice, and that was
thing not to be thought Of. So muCl
for this part of the story. Now a few
words concerning the dispatch an
nounclng the decision, which sp
pears In all the great moral dsilies o
the country. Here it is, clipped from
the daily Capital:
WIoH1TA, KAs., March Elm the fedora
court here TO day Judge Williams made I
decision Of great Importance TO indigen
old soldiers. he held that inmates Of sol
diers homes, otherwise qualified, could ex
eEoise their franchise under the OOnstitu
tion Of Kansas at any election held in Che
precinct in which the home may be located
Judge Williams held that the constitution
did not contemplate soldiers homes from
the fact thst the constitution was adopted
before such homes were thought Of.
The decision renders the Populist aCS Of
1893 unconstitutional. That aOt expressly
provided that inmates of the soldiers
homes should not be allowed 10 exercise
the right of suffrage while the home was
supported by the public expense.
Read the latter part Of this dis
patch carefully and then consider the
facts. The act is designated "the
Popullst act of 1893" The facts as
disclosed by the senate and house
journals show that the act was passed
py unanimous vote in both houses,
every republican and democrat as
we'll as Populist voting for it, and
Mr.. Sutton, the republican represen-
tstive from Ford county, was the
leading spirit in uging its adoption.
The dispatch further says:
The aOt expressly provided that inmates
Of the soldiers homes should not be allowed
20 exercise the right Of suffrage while the
home was supported by the public expense.
The act expressly provided no such
thing. The act expressly provided
that the inmates of the home at Dodge
city should "not lose their legal resi-
dence in the county from which they
came, nor acquire any legal residence
In Ford county while they remained
as inmates Of the home"
Here we have sample Of the old
tactics of the republican party-an
attempt to play upon the prejudices
Of the old soldier by making HIM be-
lieve that the law in question was q
Populist law, and that it absolutely
disfranchised every soldier in the
homes supported at public expense.
The reader may draw his own con-
clusions.
The advocate., 1894-03-14

THE trouble with the republican
press Of Kansas is that 1t don't really
know whether it is for or "sgin" sill
YER coinage. 1t will probably find
out before the next election.
The advocate., 1894-03-14
A L1BRrOUs CAMPAIGN STORY.

II has become a habit among the
Kansas editors who wear collars, to
scrutinize the business affairs Of the
ADVOCATE, at regular intervals, and
to make such reports to the public as
they think may iniure the business of
thus paper and the prospects Of the
Peoples party.
From political point of view these
reports are in keeping with other pO-
litical matter usually found in repub-
lican papers, as they are generally
''msde out Of whole cloth' and are
without any foundation. From a
business view they are the most con-
temptible and malicious violation of
all business principles. No decent
man will attempt to lnjure the busi-
ness Of another by making false state
ments concerning his business affairs.
And above all, the Topeka Capital,
the most jsded, down at the heel,
debt ridden, God forsRken, foreign
newspaper concern in the whole state
Of Kansas, ls engaged in circulating
such reports. We refer now to an
item which the Capital lately repro
duCed from a cross road sheet called
the Parsons Sun. The substance of
the item is:
AsOheme is on foOt By which persons in
tereSted in the Daily Press are soon to get
hold Of the mortgages against the ADVo-
OATH, and the ADVOCATE will then be con-
sOlidated with the Press. This will stop
the influence Of the ADVOCATE and it's ran
tankerOus editor against fusion.
It is difficult for us to keep track
Of all the schemes on foot" but it
will only require a short statement to
show that this is a republican
''sChems"-in other words, repub-
Iican lie. In the first place there is
not and never was q mortgage on the
ADVOCATE. The county records will
show that Since mortgages represent
prosperity we are fortunately not
so prosperous as the Topeka Capital
company whose obligations and stock
have been hswked about and ped
died out to railroad officials, politi-
clans, eastern investors and local banks
until it's prosperity" exceeds its re-
sources about 500 per cent, and whose
editorial expressions are tempered
according to the kindness or severity
Of its benefactors of the sbove-men-
toned classes. It is true that there
are people in different parts of Kan
sas who have in the past kindly sd-
Vanced money to build up the ADvo-
CATE, and some Of them now own
stock in the paper. They are Of that
class which may justly be called the
bone and sinew Of the state, and not
OF the blOOd-Sucking class which sus-
tains some Of our republican contem-
porariea. This company can hardly
be Cl&ssed among the bloated corpO-
