A Crank Who Relieves He Has n Duty
He Will Furnish Flowers.
WICHITA, May 9-Chief of Police
Cone has just received a letter threaten
ing the life of Mary E. Lease and warn
ing him against her.
he letter comes from crank at Ken
yon, Mimi, dated May 9Th, and is not the
first one he has written of a sensational
sort. It is as follows:
Chief of Police and Guardian of Civic Rights:
warn you against Mrs. Mary Lease,
whose teachings are dangerous to the
presidents and the Nazarene's ascending
of his throne of glory, and righteousness
in the Lamb. You must send your Off
GERS to take her, for she shall not escape
me. You must keep her until / come.
You will not know me or see me, for the
Nazarene is like the dew that falls upon
the plants and flowers. | had a vision
which told me that the red cross and
blood on his breast must be obeyed.
have duty to perform and | must kill
her on May 90. She cannot escape me-
You are to help me, and l will send
money for the flowers and oil.
The Nazarene had oil poured on his
feet. The eyes of human kind converse
as much their tongues, with the adj
vantage the ocular vision needs no die
tionary. Her eyes say one thing and her
tongue another. | know her terrible in
tentions. President Cleveland is good
man. and if Frendergast is murdered he
will be an angel.
You will not know me when | come
and stand by her coffin and see that you
do your duty. The flowers must be white
and your duty.
On May 20 L will be with her. 1 have
Drayad to the Nazarene and the vision
shows me what to do. You are my friend
and l will trust you. l will not shed her
blood for she was born Catholic. Her
tongue does not speak the truth about the
cross.

ABILENE, May AN interesting let
ter has been received by d. Higgins of
this city, from his old friend, Congress
man John A. T. Hull, of Iowa. The let
ter reads as follows:
WASHINGTON, May 2.
My Dear Old Comrade.
am delighted to have yours of Oath
ult 1 suppose you this
morning read all about the Coxey blow
out yesterday. The move was d fiat
failure. Coxey and Browne were hus-
tied off the Capitol steps and grounds.
Browne resisted and was locked up un-
til released on bail The "army" back
of these men are as unpromising lot of
buns as you ever heard of. They are
banded together to make honest people
feed them. They don't want work and
are being educated to believe that the
government should feed and clothe them
in idleness. Your Kansas school of pol
itics is largely responsible for the awful
decentralization of the country. The Dem
ocratic part has made it possible for the
the bad seed to terminate.

WHAT MUST BE DONE

AS the figures OF the recent election
come out 1t becomes palmer and palmer
that the Democratic party was not beaten
through Democrats voting for Republi-
cans. The Republicans have done very
little. If any, more than 10 hold what
they had The Democrats staid AT home
and refused to support their party nomi-
nees Why is this? The reason is as
plain as the MONDAY sun. The sound
and conservative elements OF the Demo
cratic party are disguised at the way in
which those who have secured control OF
the party have tied ii on 10 the vicious
and destructive theories of the Populists
Free silver, anti-option and the Income
tax mean the debasing Of our money:
the serious interference with freedom OF
contracts and exchanges and the robbery
of those who have something Of what
they have.
All these are Populist and not Demo-
cratic doctrines. but those who have had
the control Of the Democratic party Of
late years have done all they can 10 COM
NIT IL TO all three of them. and whether
they have succeeded or not they have
aroused in the public mind a strong APP
prehension that these are the purposes
TO which the Democratic party has dedi-
Gated itself. The conservative elements
of the Democratic party refuse 10 allow
themselves 10 be drawn into a contest
TO secure these ends, hence they refused
10 vote In the recent elections and the
party met the overwhelming defeat that
befel IL.
The party can at once restore itself
to the confidence of the country and
r,sume control Of national affairs an
