Labor Commissioner Todd lost his
Santa Fe pass on account of an anarch-
istical speech he made in western Kan
sas, Van Buren, Prather had his taken
up for forging a letter in it when his
wife wanted to travel and erasing it
when he used it himself, and now Attor-
ney General Little has lost his free
ticket over the Frisco line because he
loaned it to another man. In the light
of these disclosures it is difficult to de-
termine whether these eminent reform
ers are more dishonest in the accept
ance of free transportation or in the use
of it.-Fort Scott Monitor.
The State of Kansas contributes $50
for the support of each county normal
at which fifty teachers or pupils were
enrolled and paid the fee of 81. Previ-
Gus to the beginning of Superintendent
Peacock's term it was the custom to en-
roll from three to ten business men and
farmers in order to reach the required
enrolment of fifty. OF course these
people did not attend the Normal and
were of no benefit to it only because
they consented to part company with
their money. Things are different now
The average attendance in 1892 was thir-
ty-three and there were 104 cases of
hardness. In 1894 there were enrolled
SO actual students. The average daily
attendance was raised to 90 and the tar
diness was reduced to IL. This improv-
ed condition is the result Of having SUI
perintendent at the head of school affairs
who takes an interest in his work and
inspects the work of teachers and pupils
as required by law. The same i'm prove
ment is noticeable in all departments OF
our educational system and we are very
much mistaken if voters do not appre-
clate and remember il.

Another evidence of the bushwhack-
ing methods employed by the Rich
Kirtley-Frakes combination comes to
light this week. The Omnijack's publ
cation day is one day earlier than the
WORLDS, but the home issue was sup
pressed for day and their papers only
sent to mails outside of Wa-Keeney.
Nevertheless the WoRLD's reporter sue
ceeded in getting one from Cove county
in time to peruse it before our publica-
ton. Still they talk about fairness and
decency. No reputable papers ever re-
sorted to such underhand methods. We
know they are capable of anything but
we waited with bated breath to see how
much lower they can get in the interest
of reform.

We have lately published local
dealers price lists of text books adopted
for use in the schools of the county for
the ensuing five years. A comparison
with former prices reveals the fact that
no book has been advanced in cost while
many of them have been reduced in
price, thus proving what Superintend-
ent Peacock has claimed thatreadoption
of county uniformity would not only inn
prove the series but reduce the cost to
text book buyers. A set of books can be
bought for less money now than ever be-
fore in Trego county.

1t is pretty hard to discover just
what all this reform is that the populists
have been talking about for the last four
years. The last legislature tried to pass
two reform bills, one was the railroad
law which was passed by the house and
defeated by the reform senate because
it provided for the election of a railroad
commissioner by the people instead of
the appointment by Doodle admins
tration, and the other was coal screen
law which has just been declared un-
constitutional

Joshua Musgrave agreed to support
Rich and Rich in return set to work to
down the best men in the party. This
is how Musgrave secured his nomination
1t was hard to find man who would even
nominate Musgrave for the Office OF rep
resentative. but Mr.. Runyon finally per-
formed that service for him and then
Musgrave returned the favor by nomi-
mating Runyon, another wholly incom-
potent man, for the office of probate
judge, Nearly all the other candidates
were dictated by Ben Rich and the re-
suit is before you. This is why Ben
Rich is taking such an interest in the
populist county ticket this fall. This is
why you are asked to support a ticket
this fall which cannot have your respect.
Some of the best men in your party
have repudiated it entirely. They say
they would rather suffer tempora1>S. de-
feat than thus admit that all their
claims of reform and purity in politics
were but base pretentions to catch votes.
Several weeks since the Omniiack
made certain statements to which we
took exceptions and denied in the most
emphatic manner. We stated that I'M
less the facts were given the editor
would stand convicted as an Infamous
liar. We made our denial as emphatic
as our limited knowledge of the English
language would allow-and we did all
this for the only purpose of giving the
people an opportunity to Judge for them
selves of the truth or faIsity of the ON
nijack's statements. The only reply
vouchsafed was that they were not run
ming an Intelligence Office" That
statement was voluntarily made and
entirely unnecessary as the editor might
be suspected of being an inmate of some
feeble minded asylum, but never would
be suspected of having the management
of anything connected with intelligence
unless in the capacity of janitor Not a
statement made by the Omnijack has
been fortified with the proof As it's edi-
tors remarked "they can work the
fools" by their insinuations and misrep-
reservations and when the proof is de-
manded they say I'VE don't have TO
give it." What say you, fair minded,
honest, intelligent citizens.

Keep it before the people, that L.
D. Lewelling in his inaugural address
one year and half ago, said that the
old men IN Kansas were going to the
poor houses, and the young men to the
jails and the penitentiary, because Of
poverty. Does the condition of the poor
houses and the the jails and penitentiary
bear this out, or was this fellow, at that

Speaking about rings and combina-
tons do you know the origin of the
populist ticket? Do you know, populist
brother, who put it up for you? You
have doubtless wondered are speak
ing now to the rank and file of the popu-
list party-how it happened that your
representative men, your very best men,
were turned down, and your ticket COM
posed in part of incompetent, immoral
men. You have wondered why this
was and how it all came about We
will enlighten you and we want to say
in the beginning that if it is denied we
can and will furnish the evidence and it
will be the evidence of some of the best
men in your own party. Ben. G. Rich
dictated the principal part of the county
ticket. But why did he favor weak
and incompetent ticket? Because the
best men refused in the event of their
election to support him for position at
Topeka this winter.

Mrs. Steven Koran, Of Pottsville, ac-
compauied by her daughter Mary, is vis-
iting her uncle, Alderman Horan, of the
Second ward.
A very large number of the young peo.
pie of this end attended the first annual
social Of the Niagara Drum corps in Co. II.
armory last night. Music WIS furnished
by Miss Maggie Thornton.
The fire alarm sounded from Box Il
yesterday morning was caused by the dis
covery of fire in the double dwelling OF
Edward L. Benjamin. on North Main
avenue, between Parker and Dean streets.
The building is occupied by Charles
Knapp and Mrs. Ann Lowry, in whose
part the fire originated. Mrs. Lowry's
son is employed on the railroad, so had to
go to work rather early. After prepar-
ing the breakfast for her brother in the
basement, the daughter went back to bed,
which was on the second floor, and in q
very few minutes the place was COM
pletely filed with smoke. Neighbors also
discovered it at this time and sounded the
alarm, which was promptly responded to
by the Liberty and Niagara Hose compa-
nies, who did good work in saving the
greater part Of the building, although the
rear will have to be rebuilt. The damage
on the building will amount to at least
$500, but is fully covered by Insurance.
Mrs. Lowry's furniture, which was in the
rear portion Of the building, was de-
stroyed. The loss of Mr.. Knapp is but
slight, but neither carried any insurance.
The origin Of the fire is mystery, as the
chimney,w was found in good condition.
