ODD FELLOWS FIGHT ENDS
The Grand Lodge Renounces all Claim to
the De Boissiere Property.

The Grand Lodge Renounces all Claim to
the De Boissiere Property
WICHITA. Kans., Oct 1O.-This mornf
ing the Odd Fellows state grand lodge
in session adopted the following resoIu-
ton:
Resolved, That the grand lodge here
by rescinds all former action taken in
connection with. or pertaining to the De
Boissiere Orphans home, and that the
grand master and the grand secretary
convey by quit claim under seal of this
grand lodge to /. c. Slime, ct al, all in
terest, claims or title which il may have
acquired by virtue Of a deed made III
trust by Mr.. De Boissiere. The home
now reverts to the trustees.
This action Of the Odd Fellows grand
lodge, while it is complete back down
on the part of the friends of the home,
still shows that as fraternal organiza-
ton they prefer to give In, rather than
break up their order
Judge Hazen. in the Shawnee county
district court decided that the Kansas
Grand lodge had a right to levy per
capita tax to support this home, and the
supreme court last Saturday affirmed
Judge Hazen's decision. In addition to
this the Sovereign Grand lodge in ses-
sion at Louisville two weeks ago.
affirmed the previous action of the grand
lodge of Kansas in levying per capita
tax.
When this question came up for dis
cussion at this session OF the Kansas
grand lodge it was shown that a mum ber
Of the lodges in the state had absolutely
refused to pay the assessment for the sup
port of this home and had been suspend
ed from the order.
The objectors to the home say the rea-
son they object is because the home is
practically owned by five trustees, who
are such only in name. and in reality the
Odd Fellows have little to do with the
management of the institution.
The action Of the grand lodge today
settles the trouble about the home

No Answer At All to johnson.


Burdette Cornell, the Populist candi-
date for Congress, addressed very fair
crowd at the Courthouse Thursday
evening, as he claimed in answer TO
Hon. Grove l.. Johnson. Mr.. Cornell is
very fair specimen, to all appearance, of
a grammar-school graduate of the class
of '94. He is fluent talker, and is well
" read up" on the financial problems of
the country from his standpoint. 1t was
the same old thing, an attempt to prove
that the present Democratic cyclone was
caused by atmospheric conditions pro-
duced by the Republicans. He, however.
failed to prove that the Republicans by
their policy had ever closed mill, a
mine or factory, or turned out
OF employment single laborer
in the country. He denied that
the Republicans were in favor of
silver coinage, when the fact remains
that nine out of every ten Republicans
on the coast are in favor of silver coinage
1t is true that Eastern Republicans aided
in repeating the purchasing clause of the
Sherman Act, but we are not compelled
to answer for the sins of the East. The
Harrison administration made every eff
fort possible to come TO an international
rate of silver coinage. He forgot to tell
the people that the reciprocity treaties
completed by Blaine were fast bringing
the balance of trade from silver coinage
countries IN our favor. In fact his So
called answer TO Mr.. Johnson was no an
swer at all.

Schools and sectarianism.
[Inyo Index.l

Government legislation is needed in
another matter. The free public schools
of the United States must be maintained;
they must be non-sectarian. They must
be kept non-sectarian in character. The
school fund must be held sacred. MANY
States so provide in their Constitutions,
and the Federal Constitution should so
provide. Hence that plank in the Repub-
lican platform pledging us that we will
all labor Tor that end. Our hopes for the
happiness and the purity of the citizen
and the salvation of the Republic depend
upon the free public schools, and that
their character be maintained in their
present condition, that they be non-sec-
tartan in their character and be supported
by the common school fund, which is to
be kept inviolable. The smoke of the
schoolhouse is incense from the altar of
liberty; the bell Of the schoolhouse is in
vocation to the Goddess of Truth. and
upon the maintenance of both depends
the perpetuity of this Nation. Every Re-
publican. every good citizen, is solemnly
pledged to protect and preserve and glor-
ify them. Every Repu bliceu and every
good citizen will labor TO keep the free
public schools of America what they al
ways have been and what we pray unto
God they always will be. On every
proposition affecting national prosperity
the Republican party platform is right.

the people-have faith in the Repu biican

TO VOTERS OF THE TWENTY
FIRST ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.

The Republicans of the Twenty-first
activity very pronounced this week.
Sacramento cannot afford to go up to the
Legislature with weak representation in
the House. 1t is of highest importance
to every material interest that we should
have in the Legislature delegation that
will command respect and that has had
experience in law-making and in public
life.
The Republican nominee, Mr.. Hat
field in the Twenty-first District, is q
man who does not feel that it is seemly to
go about in his district and beg for votes
and wrestle after the manner of too
many to secure election. He has ad-
dressed the people of his district, made
his candidacy widely known, responded
to all inquiries made as to his position
and sought in all reputable ways to pre-
sent himself to the voters.
In his case the nomination essentially
sought him. His successful services In
the defeat of the Capital removal iniquity
entities him to the gratitude of the peo-
pie. and to refuse to elect him will be the
hight of ingratitude. The party puts
him forward as representative man,
able, dignified, commanding personal re-
spect, versed in the law, fully informed
as to our needs and devoted to the best
interests of the city. Those opposed to
