JUDGES AND PASSES.
Judges Mickey and Bashore Don't
Ride on Passes.
JUDGE SPILMAH OF MANHATTAN

However ts Not ON the List, as Form
eriy Reported-The Governor and
Passes.
Up to the present time five judges have
been discovered who do not ride on rail-
road passes.
When the last report was made Asso-
ciate Justice Allen, Populist, Judge z.
T. Hazen Of Shawnee county, a Republi-
can. Judge John T. Burris, a Democrat,
had refused to ride on railroad passes,
but two more judges have been discov-
cred who ought to be placed on the roll
of honor. They are Judge G. W. Mckay
of Attica, Harper county. of the Twenty
fourth Judicial district. and Judge ". A
Bashore of the Twenty eighth Judicial
district, both Populists.
These judges do not accept railroad
passes and they pay regular fare when
they ride on railroads.
Speaking Of the STATE JOURNALS ar
ticles on the use of passes by the judic-
iary, the Barton County Index quotes
from this paper as follows:
eve have found three honorable
judges in Kansas who do not take passes:
one a Republican, one a Populist and
one a Democrat The door il still open
for any more, il they want to come into
the fold"
The Index then comments:
This district has another that you can
include il the list We refer to Judge
Mckay; he never rode on a pass since
elected to the position he now so credit
ably fills"
Some Of the LEGAL friends Of Judge r.
AZ. Spilman Ore1-iIanhattan have been
standing up for him by saying he does
not ride on passes, but these friends
were wrongly advised, as Judge Spill
man rides on an annual pass on at least
one line Of road which traverses his dis
trict Until Judge Spilman returns this
pass he cannot be included among the
Kansas judges who want to be above
suspicion Of being unduly Influenced by
railroad corporations.
The railroads are usually willing and
anxious to obtain the good favor Of leg
islatlve bodies, yet an investigation shows
that but very few mem bers Of the state
senate hold annual passes Tho railroad
officials admit the truth of this assertion
while Chairman John w. Breidenthai Of
the P0puliHt state central committee saws
he has to pay regular railroad fare for all
the POpulist mem bers of the state senate
who take part in the campaign.
Governor LeWelling has been accused
Of riding on Pullman pass, but that Is
a mistake. he pays his way when he
z des in a Pullman which is not often as
he prefers, he says 'sassociating with the
common people"
Although Governor Lewelling does nor
ride on Pullman pass he is, 50 an in
vestIgation at the railroad offices shows
the most enthusiastic pass acceptcr in the
state.
The governor asks for passes for all
the members Of his family and their re-
AAEtonn and for hta partner ia the COM

On Saturday night Gustave Frohman's

Wilde's great English comedy IN four
acts, LADY Windermere's Fan" 1t is

The Tornado Last Night and Tonight
The audience that greeted Lincoln
Carriers Tornado" at the Grand last
night was not so large as it might have
been. There were not over one hundred
people the first floor and the balcony
and gallery were not very well filled.
The scenery is much more complicated
than that of the Fast Mail" and is de-
cidedly realistic. The tornado scene IN
the first act was real enough to send a
chill over the audience. When the cur
tain went down, what had before been
handsome front yard Of a country home
was an immense pile of broken lum Der.
boxes and bricks. The houses and trees
went across the stage in most alarming
prOfusiOn and confusion. In the second
act the steamship scene and the collision
were very good, while the wreck scene
was one of the best water scenes ever
put on Topeka &c. The dissecting
room scene was also good W. j. Dem
ing plays Bif Bass this year.
Jack Lodge is managing the company
and his wife was to have taken the lead
ing part but at a picnic near Columbus,
Ohio, recently she was accidentally
struck in the eye with umbrella and
her eye had to be removed. The play
will be repeated tonight.

To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
Your attack on the "pass business is a

as It is now. except that our party in

however, have lived too long to expect
any permanent results through moral
suasion. This field belongs to the church
Our demands. from start to finish. are
such as require law enactments
In your liberal position on politics you
will not deny that the railroads are an
important ally to the Repu blican party

our people, with a campaign or sharp
contest on hand, in standing close
by the letter OF reform would be
playing in a losing game. Our oppo-
nents would sweep by Us with pass
while We, noble martyrs 70 the cause,
paid out our substance. This would be
angelic but not human. The passes are
in sight by a precedent not of our max
ing. We are in the poor mans party
and in these matters we are forced to
use means which we despise. OF two
evils we choose the least
Our demands call for reduced salaries
and less officers as well as an abolished
pass but for individuals to undertake to
right these many matters in reform IN so
single handed a way is too patriotic to

have, as long as men are human and Gus

so that each individual or set Of individ-

Secretary of State Osborn proposes to

state at the coming election.
The law leaves the matter with the

and in that way a uniform ticket can be
secured all over the state.

is the matter? The Republicans
claimed four weeks ago that they
would get eighteen out of the
twenty-one. If the decrease con-
tinues at this rate, they will only
elect twelve congressman next
election. This is bad sign for
them, showing that they are losing
ground.

THE COLUMBUS, HOOK

The Survey Being Rapidly
Pushed Forward. Grad
ing to Begin in a
Week or Two.

1t seems that work has begun in
earnest on the proposed Columbus,
Hooking Valley & Athens Rail-
road, and that this line may be a
part of one of the great railway
systems.
The Columbus Dispatch recently
contained the following para
graphs:
"Now that the actual work of
surveying the new Columbus,
Hooking Valley & Athens railroad
has begun, rumors have started
atloat in reference to the future of
the project. A special dispatch
from Cleveland to-day contains the
latest and not most importable of
them all. It says: There is a
movement that is not altogether
invisible, which if carried forward
will place the G. A. & G., and Ohio
Southern railroads in possession of
one of the most valuable of Ohio
coal territories. An eastern gen.
tleman in the city to-day states he
was recently informed of steps
that are being seriously considered
by Mills w. Barse and president
Saul, to get hold of the proposed
new Columbus, Hooking Valley &
Athens railroad. This line is soon
to be built, and the intention is
when completed to secure a con-
trolling interest, for the double
purpose of developing the coal
fields which it taps and for estab-
fishing new line between Clcve-
land and Cincinnati. It is believ-
ed that the Ives syndicate will &C.
complish it's project to have line
purely its own between these two
cites within year.

TIERS.
The new Columbus, Hooking
Valley & Athens railway has OPEN
ed Offices in the Columbia block,
and the smiling countenance of
Hon. ID. l.. Sleeper, the general
counsel of the road, will hereafter
be found there. The force of engi-
neers which started on the survey
under the direction of Chief Engl-
neer, w. II. Jennings yesterday,
numbers fifty men. They are
divided into four sections, and are
working both ways. Part Of them
started from here, and another
part started from Athens. One
detachment goes ahead OF their
party and runs a general line of
survey and is followed by the re-
mainder, which completes the de-
tails. The work Of grading will be
begun within week or two.
