A Dirty Fact.

In some parts OF the county the posters
advertising Populist meetings have been
torn down in less than one hour after they
were tackled up.-DispatOh.
That is dirty insinuation. Nothing di.
rect about it, nothing tangible, just lying,
snsky insinuation which is infamous

There is no inRinustion about it, it iss q
dirty fact. We get our information from
some Of the best and most reliable farm.
ers in Clay county. Men who would
disfguTe poor little Dsl Valentines
"mug" for him il he should dare to
stand before them and dispute their
statements. In one instance, Populist
posters were torn down three times in
one day from the same board, and the
last time the board itself was split off
the post on which it was nailed. The
week before q republican poster was
tackled on the same board and remained
there until the meeting was held.
The tearing down of posters is "dirty,
snRky, infamous" piece Of business, con-
trBry to law, and we trust no Populist
will ever be guilty OF resorting to such
infsmy. Let Kansas "redssmers" have
q monopoly Of the business.-Clsy Con-

An Open Address.
TOPEKA, KAN, October is, 1884,

SCuS pufgJe8:
The Initiative and Referendum aaso.
Ciatlon Of Topeka issued an address to
the people some time since, asking the
voters not satisfied with the tickets then
in the field to send in their names and
present their views ss to putting an
other ticket before the people, pledged
to direct Liquidation. The views Of those
heard from have been to the effect that,
owing to the brief time allotted to US
before the election, it has been deemed
inadviaabls by the advocates Of the ini-
tiativs and referendum in the state, to
place ticket before the people, but to
support only such candidates for Office,
and especially for members Of the legis-
lature who pledge themselves to work
and vote to have the initiative and ref
ersndum system adopted in the state Of
Kansas, thereby eliminating posi-
bility Of Doodle or partisan leg
islstion; and, further, to work
for securing statutory enactment
by which to provide for the submission
Of important measures to the people
pending the adoption Of the initiative
and referendum amendment to the con-
stitution Of the state. While the reform
forces, especially the Populists, have de-
cIsred in o formal manner in Conven-
tions for the initiative and referendum
principles, yet without advocating the
measure as an issue, we are satisfied that
they express none the less the honest
convictions to the rank and file Of all
other parties in the state who
believe that governments derive
their just powers from tho con-
sent Of the governed, Expressed at
the ballot box, and not from the will Of
their representatives who have been
clothed by the votes Of the people with
little brief authority.
We therefore urge upon every good
citizen, regardless Of party affiliations,
wholbelievs in q government OF the peo'
pie, for the people, and by the people, to
use his influence TO elect every csndl-
date for the legislature who will un-
equivocally pledge himself, il elected, to
use his vote and his influence to sstRb-
lish direct legislation by the initiative
and referendum in the state Of Kansas.
This matter must come before the next
legislature and be acted upon by it
There is no time to lose. Do everything
in your power before the election to Sc
cure q Legislature. favorable to this most
vital measure OtIreform, organizing at
once in every ward and township In the
state InitiRtivs| and Referendum Rsso-
Citations. Pat the wheels in motion by
petitions from the elections of such pre-
cincts to the legislature to enact such
laws as the people demand, and thus be
ready to command the attention OF that
body to these matters as soon as 1t shall
be organized. Insist upon prompt and
energetic action along these lines, until
the people shall rule in fact as they now
do under our representative system only
In name.
All who are ready to unite on these
demands write us at once for further

The Smuggling Conspiracy Case is Being

acy case, in destroying letters and papers

by Lotan containing very conclusive owl
dence OF their connection with the SNUG
Cling and which were to be used in the
trial of Mulkey on Thursday, were de-
stroyed by come Of the members Of the
Jury This is a crime punishable by i'm
prisonment for three years or fine OF
$4,000. The men who did this and who
voted for the acquittal of the defendants
are fit subjects for the penitentiary. A
rigid investigation will be had and the
grand jury will be called on TO indict the
perpetrators of the crime. There is no
doubt in the minds of reasonable people
that some of the men who voted to acquit
the defendants we're bribed. When
Judge Bellinger Indignantly condemned
the action and said that it was an outrage
upon the dignity of the court, he only
echoed the sentiments of every right
thinking person. The desperate straits
to which the smugglers have been re-
duced when juries must be bought to
clear them is now fully apparent. These
trials must be pushed Notwithstanding

landing of Chinese and opium is wearing

stu Alive.

when Dug Out of AN Ore Bed 1t was
sun Alive.
Dozens of letters have been received
from all parts for more information about
the little gray toad that was dug up I'M
der seventeen feet OF hsrdpan on the
premises OF Henry and Eliza Hender-
son, III the southern part OF Tacoma.
Managers Of museums and owners OF
aquariums covet the little hopper.
His toadlets is now over month old,
dating from the day he wac uuearthed.
What surprises the scientists most is the
fact that he does not turn up his cst-like
claws and die. Heretofore toads taken
from stones or dug out Il the earth at a
great depth have died in a few DAYS,
most OF them expiring inside OF an hour
or two, but this particular toad il grow
ing fat on flies and can hop eighteen
inches any time. He loses his appetite
after eating six or seven plump house
tlies. These have TO be caught for him.
When they are placed before him he
jumps after them vciously and blinks
and shifts his weight from one forefoot to
the other after swallowing them.
Since he went into trance and came
out OF it as clipper as ever after he was
pronounced dead, this toad has developed
into quite social lion. Everybody
wants to see him. Some guess he is 100
years old, others 1000, and SO on up to
100000. Trees which were saplings
about the time Columbus landed were
growing in the four feet of soil on the top
Of the hardpan until the Hendersons
felled them three years ago. This fact
leads many to the conviction that the
toad must have esconced himself in the
hardpan formation a few dozen centuries
before that epoch.
