THE republican central committee
has been getting out new supple
ment for republican newspapers of
the state. We are beginning to re.
ceive copies of it In our republican
exchanges. It contains all the let
ters, interviews with Mrs. Lease and
other Populists, and all the scandals
of former supplements except the
Pitcher scandal. What's the matter
with that' Surely this party of pur-
ity is not going to abandon such cam
paign material as the Populist bar

received more than that in increase
on other railroad property. It must
also be remembered that there are
less sleepers of all kinds running in
the state than there were several
years ago, and also that.on some roads
the Pullman has been replaced by
the Wagner car, which accounts for a
part of the falling off in amount of
the Pullman company taxes.
Let us now compare the assess

of 1892 with that of the board of

DENYING sLANDEROUS CHARGES.

Governor Lewelling and Attorney
General Little may have laid them
selves open to the criticism of many
wise and honest people by deigning
to notice the vlllsinous charges made
by the hired henohmen of the repub.
lican state committee, but a serious
consideration will bring most people
to the conclusion that they have done
the proper thing. It is all right for
a citizen to proceed on the legal
maxim that a man is innocent until
proven guilty, but public official is
unmindful of the rights of his con-
stituents, and especially of his party
supporters, if he allows a misrepre-
sentstion of his official life to 90 un-
noticed.
The republican campaign is being
run by the most consclenceless and
characterless gang of scoundrels that
ever disgraced a community, yet
there are thousands of hon
eat citizens in the state who
do not know that. Although
the people Of Kansas are far
better posted in politics than those of
any other state in the Union, thou
sands of our voters do all their read
ing during the campaign. These are
confronted week after week with the
lies this despicsble gang have put
out. They grow anxious to know
how much truth is in the statements
and are not satisfied with a denial
from any other source than the per-
son accused. Having heard denial
from that source, and seeing no
speck of proof to sustain the sccusa-
tions made, if they can overcome
their prejudice they will naturally
sympsthize with the person who has
been msligned.
Having msnfully told the public
that the charges of corruption
against them are false, our officials
can go ahead and confidently expect
that the good people of Kansas will
not encourage lying by voting for the
liara

THE PULLMAN CAR ASSESSMENT.


80 fully that republican editors are
getting ashamed that it was ever
mentioned, local Liars are still MAX
ing what capital they can out of it.
A correspondent at Grovelsnd, Kas.,
writes the ADVOCATE; II have been
informed by republican that Gov
ernor Lewelling lowered the assess
ment rate on Pullman palace cars
and raised it on common coaches"
The governor is not a member Of
the board of railroad assessors or Of
the board Of equalization and has
nothing whatever TO do with the
assessment.
The campaign liars at republican
headquarters overlooked several i'm
portsnt facts when they sprung this
question.
First st-There were never any taxes
on sleeping cars collected under re-
publican administration. The Pull
man company had no occasion to
trouble itself about an adjustment
of the assessment rate so long as it
was not paying taxes.
SeCond-Ehe railroad companies
SAID in their statement to the board
Of assessors that they we're part own
ers of the Pullman cars and this
necessitated Classing these cars with
railroad property.
The republican assessors had as
sessed first class Pullman sleepers at
$4,000 and had not collected the tax.
Attorney General Ives instituted suit
to collect the tax, and after the case
going to the United States supreme
court, and beng decided in favor Of
the state, the taxes were paid.
In 1893 the owners of the Pullman
cars represented that during the
Worlds Fair year they were using
their oldest and Worst-Worn cars in
Kansas and their best ones in the
East. It was just as fair for an as
SCISSOR to heed the statement Of the
owner of a sleeping car as to consider
the statement Of a farmer with re-
gard to his property, yet that year
the cars were assessed $1,000 higher
than the value at which they were
given, and they were still $1,5OO
lower than they had been the year
before. The tourist cars, which were
represented to be Of the same class
as heretofore used in the state, were
raised in valuation along with other
railroad property. These tourist cars
were valued the same in the assess
ment of 1894 while the first-class
sleepers were raised in valuation to
$4,000.
Now since these standard sleepers
were classed with railroad property,
and the board was equalizing the
different kinds of railroad property,
they had a full right to lower the
value on these cars and raise 1t on
other items. And the decrease is al
most nothing as compared with the

To show that the sleepers were
assessed in common with other RAIL
road property, we find the following
entry in the proceedings Of the ole
board, on page 423 of Auditol
Hovey's report OF, 1892:
Resolved, That standard sleeping oars
owned by the Pullman Palace Gar com
pany and by the RAILROAD companies, or b!
the railroad companies and Pullman Pslao'
Car company jointly, and used in the Dtat'
of Kansas, be assessed at $1,000 each, and
tourist cars, owned as above at $1,500 each
But the greatest humbug con
nected with this matter is the ro
about the board Of 1893 raising thu
valuation on the poor mans Car snC
lowering il on the rich mans car
Did anybody ever hear OF the as
sessed valuation of a car having any
thing to do with determining th'
fare or the cost to the passenger il
any way? 1t is the very silliest non
sense and yet this is all the srgu
ment they have tried to get out of it
Perhaps those who use this srgu
ment can explain what is shown Oh
page 400 Of the auditors report fol
1891-'92, viz: That dining car
owned by the railroad companleI
were assessed at $4,000, while thos,
called Pullman dining cars were as
sessed at $4,000.
As to the members of the Populis
board of assessors having been in
fuenced by passes. from the Pullman
company, we can only say that ther'
is nothing to indicate the truth Of i
while there is evidence to show thai
at least so far as the governor il
concerned there is no truth in it what
ever. A letter from the governor
private secretary, Fred J. Close
which has been published in a mum
ber Of papers, covers this ground
We quote from it as follows:
So far as the trip to Chicsgois concerned
was myself with the governor and pail

paid me one half Of that amount back. Il

much over the fact that the board Of asses

felt that they were assessed too high. Hav

Charred Remain OF Victims OF the Recent
Forest Ffres.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Oct. 12.-Frank
Drew, a pine cruiser of Crookston, re-
turned from Hinckley Wednesday
morning, where he has been for the
past two weaks in constant search
through the woods and burned country
for the body Of William Murray, his
brother-ln-law, who persisted in the re-
cent forest fires. Tuesday afternoon
the searchers found three bodies, and
one of them was recognized by a ring
on a baked finger as that of Murray,
The other two are those Of two men
named Evans and White, who were
employed IS cruisers in the pineries.
During the search for Murray's body
the almost undistinguishable remains
Of IS victims were found. The opinion
OF these men and others who were with
them is that as the search Is made more
carefully throughout the burned dis.
trict, for one purpose or another, addi-
tional bodies viii be found. 1t appears,
too, that many may never be seen, the
intense heat having fairly dissolved the
bodies into gases, leaving only the
whitened ashes of the bones, which can
hardly be distinguished from the
burned soil.
