vidends on Sotsr. For q time this Ia
done, apparently from earnings, which
investigation shows to be an unvaEn-
ishsd fraud. Crookedness becomes more
and more crooked, rascalities Straddlo
rascslitieg, fraud peeps over fraud
until being NO longer able 10 hide duplt-
cation, the road is wrecked financially,
and receiver is appointed and some
United States judge runs the road, and
strange TO say the Judge usually sp-
points az receivers the very men who
have been instrumental In achieving dis
RstSr. These judges, Ss a general propo-
sition, are totally disqualified for run
ming railroads, even if they were always
honest men and able to resist bFibe,
but when the court appoints the Wrecker
to be the receiver, amusement takes pos
session Of the public mind and the voP-
dict is that courts can be capitalized aB
readily as stocks and bonds. The records
show that during the frat six months OF
1894, receivers were appointed for
twsnty-three railroad companies owning,
approximately, 5000 miles Of road and
having q bonded Indebtedness exceeding
26O million dollars, representing about
$86,666 o mile. Concsding that these
roads cost $4,000 Q mile, O total Of 80
million dollars, it is seen that the rasCalS
in charge managed to buncO the COun-
try out Of 40 million dollars, But IL iB
shown further that adding the exploits
of the wreckers Of 1893 to the wrecks Of
1894 ninety.sevsn railroads sucCumbed,
having a mileage Of $4,000 miles and rep
resenting more than billion dollars In
bonds and stock, or more than S62, 600 q
mile, representing steal Of not less than
LOO million dollars.
AS general proposition, the receivers
having been the wrsckerS and naving
been appointed by the court to carry on
the business, At once proceed TO reduce
the wages Of employees, that money may
; be secured to pay dividends upon the
most stupendous frauds that ever dis
grRosd any land or nation under heaven
and this iniquity with court and Corpo-
ration in alliance, has been perpstrAted
in almost every instance where receiver
has been appointed by United States
court. This unspsRkable fraud, this
cruel robbery has in every instance had
the sanction Of law, and when employees
hsYe resisted the same old hue and CRY
about "lsbor sgitstorS" and making
war upon the cspitsr' has BEEN heard
and has usually succeeded, for when
there was an indication that labor would
triumph by the justice Of It's cause, the
corporation, stepped to its eyes In vii
lRiny, has had only to call for iniunc-
tions and deputy msrshRls or troops to
perfect and carry out their program.

The Growth Of Silver Sentiment.


In their efforts 10 capture the Kansas
delegation 10 the next republican ma
tional convention, Thomas B. Reed and
William Mckinley have made the dia.
Oovery that silver is the paramount is
sue in that state; protection and other
bunCo issues Of republicanism are Of
minor Importance to the JRybawker.
This is but one illustration Of the
growth Of the sentiment in favor OF hon.
est, constitutional money, which is gold
and silver. Kansas is not q silvsr-pTo-
ducing state; its products are sgFiCul-
turRl, and therefore the charge Of class
interest cannot be brought against tho
people Of Kansas, as in the case Of Colo
RADIO and Nevada. The silver question
ia not sectional, az the national bankers
and other monometBllists would have
the people believe. It is q national
question, and Affects the lsborer in Chi
Cago equally with the producer Of silver.
It 10 the farmers and the working classes
who are going to bring about the restor'
alton OF silver as money, and the sooner
the republican and democratic leaders
realize this fact and cease RCting ss the
tools Of pIutocracy, the better it viii be
for both those parties.
The Ohio democrats recently gave evi-
denCe in their state convention Of the
growth Of silver sentiment In that state.
Ohio Is not Q producer Of silver, but the
democratic party OF Ohio, which ia
largely made up OF farmers and work
ingmsn, has felt the disastrous effects Of
the demonstration of silver and the
members thereof have forced it to make
declaration upon the subject.
The charges Of sslHshness and Sec
tionslism brought by the advocates Of
dear money against the advocates oi
silver are rapidly being exploded. The
ruinous decline in Values.which followet
the demonetizstion Of silver has 0peneC
the eyes OF the common people; the.
are reading and thinking about th'
matter and they are going to apply tht
remedy at the ballot box. Thomas B
Reed sees this and is hedging, but ht
belongs to the party that struck down
silver and has always been its deadlies
foe. Mckinley is an open and RVowet
gold.bug, and seeks to dodge the 9ilvel
issue by talking about his old moth
eaten, wRr.period protective tariff
Neither one Of these men can fool the
people Of Kansas. Reed may secure the
vote Of the Kansas delegation in the re
publican national convention, but th'
electoral vote Of that NON. silver produc
ing state will be cast for the presidentiR
candidate who openly faVors the fre'
and unlimited coinage OF silver at th'
ratio of 16 to / with gold, without tht
consent OF any other nation on esrth.-

THE MKINLEY SHOW.

Now, il the Populists can bring any man
of their party TO Topeka who can command
crowd Of Y, 600 people ct 10 O'Clock in the
morning let them do lit. Even Governor
Tillman, about whom there is much Ouri-
osity and interest, could scarcely get as
many.-State Journal, October 4.
Rats! When Governor Waite
spoke at the city park a short time
ago the Journals own estimate Of
the crowd present was $4,000 people
and there was no extraordinary effort
to get q crowd either. It was simply
advertised that the governor of Colo
RADIO would be here and the people
turned out and took the town.
How was 1t with the Mckinley
meeting? Every railroad in the state
ran special trains from every point
of the compass, which we're advertised
for weeks previous to the meeting.
Reduced rates were given and if p co.
pie would not pay the rates, they
were carried free if they would only
come. The public schools were dis
missed and the school children were
marched in a body to the state house
grounds to swell the Mckinley crowd
and with all this extra effort the
numbers present were not equal to
those that welcomed Governor
Waite.
There was still another feature
that distinguished these two meet"
ings. The people who came to the
Popullst meeting came to hear.
Those who came to the Mckinley
meeting came to see, and having seen
they went away. A very large per
cent. of those who came did not care
to hear the old tariff racket over
again, and after looking upon the re-
publican idol they left the ground
It was a common observation that
very little interest was manifested in
the speech, and about the only ap'
plause gwen was at the mention oi
the name of Gar Reed.
The republicans had good crowd
of course, as everybody expected
they would have with the effort thai
was made to get it, but that is nc
reason for lying about it. Think oi
arepublican city OF IS, 900 people un
able, with all the extra exertion pui
forth on this occasion, to get out
more than $4,000 people to hear thu
chief fugleman of the party. Th'
city alone ought to furnish more of
crowd than that if the people felt an!
interest in the kind of campaign theil
party is making. The fact is the!

that the wood entering into the manufac-

At the present time the firm turns out
5000 pianos a year, and the instruments
have a worldwide popularity. In Lon.
o alone, out of 500 concerts given last
year. four-fifths of the pianos used
were of the Steinway make. Speaking
OF the foreign trade, Mr.. Steinway said
that the firm was the special agent
by appointment of the royal fam
lily OF England. the emperor
of Germany. the mikado of Japan, the
queen of Roumania. czarina of Russia,
King Oscar, of Sweden, and the sultan
of Turkey. That the latter appreciates

that each time he is welded

The petitions were addressed to Presi-

ard to the point, stating that the under
signed are of the opinion that reduced
rates TO Minnetonka would certainly
have a tendency 10 build up the inter
ests at the lake and also to increase the
revenue and popularity of the roads

lated i'll the petitions as follows:
Single round trip, fifty cents.
Ien-ride tickets, 50.
Fiftv-ride tickets, $3.50.
This is about a one-third reduction on
all forms of tickets instead of a one
half reduction as was originally in
