DISCOVERED DOUBLE DEALING.
Being convinced that Governor Lew
cling and Attorney General Little did
not intend to keep their contract with
me in regard to protection that they had
entered into and that they had entered
into an arrangement with other parties
to carry on the lottery business in Kan
sas City, Kan, and this opinion be-
ing confirmed by the fact that e. Fox b
Co., M. Ottens, q. A. Gale & Co. and
Vim d Co., had opened up lotteries
and made public drawings in the
month Of September, I immedi-
ateiy opened up correspondence with
the Louisiana Lottery company and
told them that / believed that / could
have the lottery business in the state OF
Kansas suppressed. By appointment,
met their attorney, Mr.. Henderson, at
Chicago October II, and entered into q
written contract which I now hold with
him to suppress all lotteries in Kansas
for the consideration OF $4,000 to be
paid in payments Of 5000 each; So, coo
In cash which was to be paid on Octo-
Der IA. 1893; $1,000 to be paid November
IS. 1888; 5000 to be paid February Is,
1894; 5000 May Is, 1894 and 5000 July
10, 1894. Attorney General Little was
to receive $4,000 OF this money and I
was to receive 5000. or the 5000
paid me in cash by the attorney At Chi

prosecute the case, met him and asked
him il he had resolved the $4,000 sent
him and he said that he had and I then
showed him the contract which made
with the Louisiana Lottery company
and which now hold and he agreed to
and approved the contract But for

part of 1t and close up the lotteries a. he
agreed to do, although ha would have
received $4,000 more money-in the ag-
Rregate, $4,000 for simply doing his
official duty. The only natural conclu-
sion js that is has been more profitable
for Attorney General Little to follow
the course that ha0 been pursued in
Kansas City, Kan, by the gang in con-
troll there since that time. And now

PULLED HIS LEG AGAIN.

Sharpe and Legate came To me thinA
on the afternoon OF the fifth day but
Mr.. Little did not arrive until I wal
compelled 10 leave because Of business
engagement. Mr.. Little came after ]
had gone and had q conference with
LsgRte and Sharpe. After this confer.
snco Legate aud Sharpe both came to
me and informed ma that Mr.. Little
had said that if would pay $500
more money the original contract would
be carried out to the letter. Upon this
assurance, took the 81, 500 in cash and
went to Topeka myself said to Mr..
Legats that before / gave up the money
desired to see the governor in person
and to receive from him assurances that
the agreements would be carried out.
With this suggestion Mr. Legate seemed
pleased and left saying that no would
see the governor and report. After
awhile be came back and said that the
governor declined to see me but would
send Mr.. Close, his private secretary,
over to the Union Pacific hotel in North
Topeka where l was stopping and the
place where it was agreed that We
should meet, and instruct him what to
say. Very soon Mr. Close came in and
said to me that the governor thought il
not prudent for him 10 see me aud had
instructed him (Close) to say that if the
money was turned over to Mr.. Legats
the contract heretofore made about the
5000 would be carried out He made
has whole statement positive by saying
the governor had instructed him 10 say
just what he did and be said this in the

The Shame Of Kansas.

From X. c. Times, Oct. /, "a.
The extraordinary statement made by
Mr.. P. w. Kline, in letter to Hon. I'd
win Taylor, State Senator Of Kansas,
corroboTated as it is by an affidavit by
Mr.. S. S. Sharpe, who had personal
knowledge OF the fact, presents an sx-
hibit of official turpitude without paral-
lei in the history of politics. Not only
the Governor of the State of Kansas,
but the Attorney General and number
of their official and personal associates
have been charged with prostituting
their opportunities to foster crime, and
they are alleged to have even disregarCaod
that proVerbIal code of immortality THAI
preserves ''honor among thieves" Thai
is to say, while dealing lawlessly with
lawlessness, they have robbed their a.
sociate in crime without fulfilling THAR
obligations in the infamy.
1t is to be expected that GovernOR
Lewelling, Attorney General Little and
Private Secretary Close will deny tho
circumstantial charges that have been
brought against them. In their denial
they will have the moral advantage OF
a better position in society than thor
accusers. Br6 the charge is already
corroborated in material points by tho
affidavit of Mr.. Sharpe, and the check
Of the American National bank, tho con-
tract with the Louisiana Lottery CON-
pany, other documentary evidence, and
proof OF the several meetings can b
summoned in support OF Mr.. KliDSs
allegations and must be convincing.
The testimony OF County Attorney
Boone of Wichita, though relating TO
another matter, will also be relevant ~
circumstantial evidence in confederation.
The people of Kansas can no longer,
in justice to themselves, remain siIena.
It is not alone those residents OF the
cities that are debauched in thSir
morals and robbed in order to enrich thu
most disgracefHi coterie of official plum
derers ever combined to perpeExzta
crime, that are concerned. The good
name of the State has been sacri6cnd,
the integrity and morality of the peopls
are brought into suspicion, and every
man who has self-respect and a fse1iBa
Of pride in the good reputation Of tha
men and women of Kansas should uniss
in mighty purpose of turning thssa
atrocious criminals out OF he pIaees
they have prostituted. It's no longer
question Of politics.

In 1888, at the time Governor Lewell-

for the position OF police com missioner
in Kansas City, Kan, and sought the
appointment from the governor. For
that purpose procured the endorse

such appointment, and when received
from the governor very hattering assur-
ances that would be selected as the

Departure.of the Nearly Wrecked
Miowera for the Coast.
SEVERAL sTowAwAYs ON BOARD.
The Steamer That Was So Nearly a
Total Wreck Leaves for the Golden
Gate-One Unfortunate Sent Back
by the Kaa1a-

~ After being on the reef for forty
days, at the mercy of the wind
and waves; after lying at peace in
the harbor for almost two months
after having passed through trials
and tribulations enough to have
ruined almost any steamship in the
world, the Miowera left yesterday
for San Francisco, where she will
be repaired.
She left her berth at Brewers
wharf 1 o'clock in command of
Captain Stott. A large number of
people were present on the wharf
to witness her departure. During
the morning several lady friends
of officers Cleveland and Stuart
sent beautiful bouquets of flowers
to the steamer which made the re-
cipients beam with smiles.
Among those who departed on
the Miowera were Mrs. Stott, wife
of the commander, and Captain
Wawn. It took Pilot Lorenzen
about twenty minutes to get the
vessels bow pointed Stewards and
at 80 PM. the ship steamed slow
ly out of the harbor. When she
was quite well out to sea the pilot
and Mr.. Wildridge came ashore.
At about BIB P. M, when half
way between Koko and Diamond
Heads, one of the stowaways, who
had been hiding in the coal bunk
ers, made his appearance on board.
As the Kaala hove in sight, the
Miowera blew her whistle. Soon
afterwards a boat was lowered and
manned by a crew in charge of the
second officer, and rowed towards
the Kaala. The second officer
handed the stowaway over to Cap
tain Thompson. The Kaala then
headed for Honolulu, and the
Miowera soon afterwards resumed
her voyage to San Francisco.
The stowaway told the officers of
the Kaala that there were four
more men of his ilk on board the
Miowera. As soon as the Kaala
touched the wharf, the fellow left
the vessel, and disappeared up
town. No one seems to know his
name.
1t is expected that the Miowera
will be at least ten days on her
trip to the Golden Gate.

PLEDGES MUST BE FULFILLED.
THE REPUBLICAN in advocating the
election of the ticket which met with
such signal triumph in the late NUM-
cipal contest, pledged to the people that
the candidates of it's party if elected
would inaugurate an era of improve
ment and progress. The candidates
themselves made similar promises pub
licly and privately, and they were
elected because of these promises and
pledges.
The time has now arrived when this
work should begin. There is much to
do and the summer will be well ad-
vanced before it can be accomplished,
but the work should be done now dur
ing the otherwise dull season and be-
fore the immigration of this fall be-
gins.
The additions should all be brought
into the city proper. Sidewalks should
be laid and Washington and Center
streets paved The fire department
must be properly equipped and placed
upon useful and salaried basis. The
police department needs to be reorga-
nized and changed from the village
system of marshal and deputy to a
chief of police and sufficient number
of patrolmen properly uniformed. The
city attorney should be employed by
the council to revise and codify
the ordinances, bringing them
up to date, and prepare such
others as in his judgment the
necessities and conditions of the city
require. He should also be authorized
to prepare charter for adoption by the
coming legislature. The health depart
ment needs to be recognized, and it
should be placed in charge of an officer
with sufficient salary to warrant first
class service. These are some of the
many reforms that were promised, and
unless the mayor and council proceed
at once to carry them out, they will be
open to the accusation of having secured
their election by means of false pre-
lenses.
We believe these gentlemen intend to
fully redeem all OF their promises, but
representation is the thief of time that
has ruined many good men, which it
would be well for them to remem Der.
How best to begin these matters is
question left for the men undertaking
it to decide. But they were elected for
this purpose, and the people will ex-
pect them to perform the labor as rap
idly and well as possible, and will hold
them strictly to account for every prom.
Use made by which votes were secured.
