CONCERNING KANSAS.

A quack doctor and street fakir named

voted with the Peoples party in 1892
and has left it on account Of it's corrup-
tion. He is ss blg fraud politically as

They Touched Up Corning.

Here is a little certificate Of character
for Cyrus Corning whose alleged Popu-
list paper, the New Era, run under the
direction Of the republican committee,
is being carried around by republican
candidates and stump speakers as "au-
thority." The Peoples party club Of
Parsons, Kas, adopted the following at
a recent meeting:
We deem 10 advisable that all PopuIists
who may come in contact with him, or read
his brszsn prevRriORtions should know what
sort Of specimen Of humanity this Cyrus
Corning is. He came TO Parsons some years
ago TO run a Populist paper. The first
thing he did was 10 have some of the lead
ing Populists indorse his note for $500. He
showed a note for 5000 secured by Chattel
mortgages which he said would be due in q
short time, and then he would pay the $500
note. The 5000 note proved to be fraudu
lent one, being given him by his brother to
shield his property and defraud his credit
ors, The sureties Of Corning had the $500
note to pay. He defrsuded everyone who
would trust him, never paying a debt that
be could in any manner or pretext repudi-
ate. He proved himself TO everyone who
treated him as a friend TO be a menial be-
meath the worst sOoundrel that it has ever
been the misfortune Of che people Of Par
sons to become acquainted with. He is
held in the estimation Of the people of Par
SONS to be Of the Arnold stripe, meroensry,
devoid of manhood and unfit TO represent
any party that wishes 10 uphold truth and
honesty; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Peoples party club, That
we denOunce said Cyrus Corning ss an un-
mitigated rascal, devoid Of truth and not

MORRILRs CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
How he Loved the Old Soldier While He Was
In Congress.


In Congress.
E. N. Morrill, was never more ashamed
Of Kansas than the Kansas ex.soldiers
were ashamed Of him after he had de-
feated the service pension bill in 1890
and tried to excuse his act by saying
that the bill was not satisfactory to the
moneysd men of the East.
For this Morrill, was severely scored
by the people Of his district and the in
dignation did not subside until it was
supposed he had retired to private life
for good. A sample Of this indignation
Is shown by the following resolutions,
which were passed by George Graham
post No. 81, Grand Army of the Rspub-
lie, at Seneca, Kss., April "a, 1890:
WHEREAS, A bill has been proposed in the
house of representatives by Hon. e. N. Nor
rill, Of this district, which will pension such
of the Union soldiers Of the civil war as
may survive TO the age of 50 years, we do
hereby cali attention to the following con-
siderations:
Our surviving comrades are growing old;
many Of them are old beyond &heir years
because Of the hardships Of military service.
Most Of them will be buried before the pro-
posed bill can recognize that they dared
anything for their country. Both Justice
and patriotism demand that the present
congress shall pass service pension bill,
which shall Immediately be effective. This
we have asked and not something else-this
we still ask as a matter Of simple justice;
therefore,
Resolved, That we learn with extreme
dissatisfaction that our representative, Hon.
E. N. Morrill,, has failed TO represent, with
regard to service pensions, the wishes of
those to whose votes he owes his position.
Resolved, That the bill known az the Nor
bill pension bill fails to meet the just
claims of the ex-soldiers of the republic,
does not correspond to the pledges of the
republican party, does not express the will
of the patriotic people Of the country.
Resolved, That the Morrill, bill, if passed,
will, in our opinion, effectively prevent the
passage Of q service pension bill in ths i'm
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 brunt of
battle for series of years, for this GLASS, aS
the result Of long and severe service and
exposure, are for the most part already
dead, or will survive the age Of 81 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 the construction Of war ves-
sells and coast defenses, for which there is
NO demand by the people and no necessity
in view Of our relations to other powers.

can criticise, and here is my criticism.
There are now two judges on the SUI
prems bench, Horton and Johnston,
who have taken and used passes ever
since they have been on the bench, and
they hear and decide cases where these
railroads are on one side and a lone
widow, orphans and one-legged brake
man are on the other. This is crime.
1t needs for plain speaking to break
this custom up. The suitor who has q
case against railroad would never try
it before twelve jurymsn who each had
a pass in his pocket, and no honest and
upright judge would require it. Nor
ought anyone to be handicapped by
having the entire members ssof the court
OF last resort, all armed with passes,
finally dsterE line his case. Men are
human, the railroads give it under the
head Of courtesy to the bench, but it is
not for health or philanthropy. They
are intended to be sent where they will
do the most good. A Judge who has
one Of these passes in his pocket dare
not under his own MANS justify it. 1t
is only pardonable 30 long as it is not
discussed and nothing is said about it.
at is the reception Of such favors as
these that take our courts away from
the people, that give them leaning to-
wards corporations, and has called for q
loud protest that has chrystRlizsd in the
Populist party. You have got to have
upright men, pure men on the bench or
your government is rotten to the core
and Vslueless. A psss-taking Judge can
no more defend his action than Bacon
could his bribes. If you will watch q
Judge on the train pull out his pass he
does it with debonnRir demesnor that
a dog possesses when he is caught kill
ing sheep in the fold. Year in and
year out the supreme judges take
passes and give decisions to which these
railroads are concerned. Two hundred
cases are now pending in the supreme
court, many Of them Of great import
ance, in which the railroads are parties.
The great people who care to investigate
the question can go to the decisions Of
our supreme court and decide for them
selves what passes in the hands Of
judges have to do with decisions. Every
time the republican party puts up a
judge Of this kind l propose to oppose
him.
"They say that all the big judges take
passes. So much the more prevails an
outrage on the people. No man emptes
ordure in fountain to cleanse it. Judge
johnson ought not to have a republican
vote in Kansas This is q subject you
will not hear discussed for it is eter-
nally wrong. And as republican l
propose to make my protest effective.
Am / right? Where is the man in the
state Of Kansas who dare in a public
speech or under his own signature take
up the cudgel and say am wrong"

A. G. Stacy, with his Parsons Inds.

Somebody is making it misersbly un-

GLADIATORlAL SHOWS.
Testiv tiles and Ceremonies Attending the
Great shows.

.Undes the republic there were seven
performances annually, lasting in all
about sixty-six days. These were paid
for by the state, and usually cost a
| couple of thousand pounds of our
money, says Cornhill Magazine. Some
times, however, games were given
| by some public-spirited indsyidual who
desired to gain popularity, or by sor-
rowing mourners at the funeral of
friends or relations. Under the en-
pire the time occupied by these specta-
Giles was increased to one hundred and
sevepty-three days annually, and even
! more, while the cost OF brilliant
show rose to seven or eight thousand
pounds. These games, which usually
began at sunrise and lasted until sun
set, consisted of three distinct kinds
l. e., horse and chariot rae es, combats
between gladiators and combats be-
tween men and wild beasts; but into
these many varieties were introduced.
The gladiators were, for the most
part, criminals or prisoners OF war, but
certain number of volunteers took
part-patricians, and even emperors,
occasionally appearing in the lists.
After a time schools for gladiators
were established in Rome, and ne
champions were exalted into public
idols. Their BONES fortune were pro-
verbal, their praises were sung by the
poets, and their portraits appeared upon
lamps and vases. The condemned Grim
inals did not invariably meet their
death in the arena. IL they survived
three years OF fighting with men and
beasts they were released from their
gladiatorial duties, while five years
spent in the profession gave them their
freedom.
The performances were advertised by
means Of affiches pasted on the walls or
buildings. On one of these placards
that shelter will be provided for the
spectators in case of rain; in another
that the arena will be well watered, in
order that the dust NAV be laid The
night before the spectacle began a
great banquet was given TO the gladi-
ators, presumably the volunteers or
hired champions. At daybreak these
heroes marched in procession TO the
amphitheater, and, after the signal
had been given by a blnst Of trumpsts,
the fun began. The emperor and pub
lie officers attended in state. great
ceremony was observed, and the citi-
zens were expected TO appear in their
best attire. In rainy westher a mantle
might be worn over the toga on condi-
