Dogs and Other Nulsances.
CHURCH HILL, June q, 1884,
70 the Editor of the DiSnatch.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your editorial of June 10Th regarding the
water-supply. dogs. &C., does credit to
your valuable paper, and l hope you Will
continue to publish articles on the subject
until something is done.
Our city treasury would always be full
IL the police would report the people who
violate the city ordinances.
/ wish you would bring the subject OF
dogs over here on Church Hill before
the police. We are overrun with them.
/ can't remember night without being
awakened by them. l doubt II half the
owners pay any taxes on their dogs.
Indeed, 1t ought to be against the law
to keep dogs in the city.
There ought TO be given more thought
to the protection OF humanity.
Isn't II possible - set an injunction
against the city O. failure to furnish
water at all times during the day. when
you pay the extortionate water-tax every
three months.
Very truly, fEADEh.
p. s.-Everlasting sticking at 1t brings
success.

impressed me very much. On the old

the remains Of poor Confederate. who,

the action OF June IS. 1864, his forehead
pierced by bullet. his rife at his

as he fell during all the long months OF
the siege, undisturbed by friend or foe.

Speaking about "cullud pussons," wish
some man who knows 1t all (there are
about forty thousand OF such individuals
in Richmond) would tell me why our dusky
friends always root against the home
team at the baseball park. Time and
again 1 have seen them do IL, and when
the howls arose from their ebon-throttles
that regal pair of imperial cranks Mr.
Tom Alfriend and his genial friend
Henry Valentine. would become bitter
against all the world, and they would
scowl darkly, and murmur disapproyingly
and gnash their teeth. But. kind-hearted
Mr.. Alfriend and genial Henry Valentine
to the contrary. Notwithstanding. these
"culIud pussons" will continue TO root
adversely in the case of Vests bedrag
gled darlings. Investigation has proved
to me that II Is a race characteristic of
Afro-Americans. For some reason-"po'

occult principles, 10 support the visiting

same thing--though It's hardly fair TO cite
that as parallel case. for there's no
accounting for what any man will do I'm
Norfolk. Recently ! asked colored citi-
zen--a most respectable, intelligent fell
Iow--if he could explain this strange and
most unnatural allegiance TO strangers,
which Is always exhibited by the Jackson
Ward -four hundred" He said he
couldn't; that II was mystery to him,
too. and that even when visiting col
ored teams played our own invincible
Manhattan Giants Il believe that's the
name Of our local Afro-American team,
the sable sports would turn against the
Richmond side and root for the foreigners.

The reader will remember that some
time ago Attorney General Little began
proceedings to compel the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railroad company to
establish it's general Offices within the
state, as required by the charter under
which the company was organized. The
Offices had been moved from Parsons to
ST. Louis. During the progress Of the
case, q delegation Of Parsons citizens
called on General Little with petition
asking him to drop the matter. Their
reason for doing so was that the com.
psnV had threatened to remove its shops
from Parsons, unless the fight for the re-
turn Of their Offices was discontinued.
The attorney general told them he had
no right to comply with their request az
long as the company was violating its
charter obligations, and he proceeded
with tho case in court. Last week the
company's representatives made q propo-
sition binding themselves to have their
general offices established in Kansas
City, Kas., within sixty days. A COM
pliAnCe with this proposition will proba-
bly, end the trouble, as it will be q com.
pliance with the law. 1t will serve the
Parsons petitioners right.

CONCERNING KANSAS.

We favor bi-metalIism az opposed 10 mon
Ometallism, whether Of gold or of silver.
We believe that BY wise legislation the an
nual output of the silver mines Of the Coun-
Try can be added TO the money Of che
country without any disturbing Of values Of

Two Republican Conventions.

The republicans Of the Fifth congress
sionRl district met in convention Rt
Junction City, May II, and on the first
ballot nominated w. FL. CslderheRd,
OF MRrysvills for congressman. D. Fin
Icy Patrick, Of Sslins, was chairman
and the total number of vote was 95 Of
which Calderhsad received g.
The resolutions favored liberal PEN
sions, protective tariff and honest elec-
tions, svading the money question by
the adoption Of this stereotyped plank:
"0ur money, which is the most concrete
form OF property, consists Of dollars which
have equal debb-psying and purchasing
power and does not shrink on our hands
when received in payment for wages or
products. We favor laws that will main
tain this equality and secure the largest
coinage and use OF both gold and silver o.
money without destroying their parity and
the largest possible use Of paper currency
that can be maintained without depreOia-
tion.
The Second district convention which
began at Olathe the same day did not
get along so well. There were 126 del
egstes and Ave candidates for congress,
viz: e. N. Funston, Ex-senator
Buchan, Senator Parker, of Olathe, w.
@. Howard, q Douglass county farmer,
and 9. A. Smart, a franklin county
lawyer.
The anti Funston men elected Geo.
7. Anthony chairman and seventy of
them pledged themselves not to support
Funston in any case. The first ballot
showed that each candidate was in the
minority. On the 150th ballot Funston
and Buchsn had S8 votes each, while
the remainder were nearly equally di-
Vided between the other three. The
voting continued with but slight
changes until 529 ballots were taken
and the vote stood: Funston 38, BuchAn
36, Howard 2I, Parker IA, Smart 13.

and substitutes were offered and lost, a

EDITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hanna
and l have just completed a series Of
meetings in Sedgwiok county. We
found several sub.Alliances in fine order,
the members Of which are as earnest
workers in the Alliance movement as in
years past. Especially is this true Of
OatVille Alliance No. 900. Not only do
the members Of that Alliance work for
themselves, but they do what they can
to educate the other fellow by sending
out reform literature. One of their
members, ]. M. Atwood, subscribed for
twenty ADVOCATES and paid for them
himself. 1 could not help but notice the
difference between him and some would.
be reform politicians in the county, he
trying to educate without expecting
self-reward, the others expecting reward
without trying to educate. Our meet
ing at Peotone resulted in the most good
for the order, each Alliance man present
pledging himself to reorgsnize their
once prosperous lodge. Here 1 met
farmer who last year raised 1,70O bushels
Of wheat and $500 bushels Of corn, and
yet he can not realize enough on that
crop of wheat to pay for raising the
same. While our meetings at Bently
and Greenwich were good, still they
could have been better.
By the help of several of the most
energetic rsHormers in the city Of
Wichita and the country, we succeeded
in placing about 500 ADVOCATES into
that county which will no doubt prove
to be in the interest Of the reform work.
The men in that county claim they will
increase their vote several hundred this
fall. We attended q meeting Of the
county central committee and found each
man determined to push forward the
good work. The committee passed the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That the Peoples party central
committee of Sedgwick county, now in
session, learn with sorrow Of the serious
sickness of the Hon. Jerry Simpson, and
hereby express sympathy with him and bis
family in this their sfliCtion, and express
the hope that he may be speedily restored
TO health and 10 his place of great useful
ness in the halls Of congress.
Resolved, That the county central COM
mittee of SedgwiOk county, Kansas, request
our United States senators, PETER and Mar
tin, to support the Wilson tariff bill, and
vote for the enactment of the same into
law at the earliest possible moment, 80 long
az il contains the income tax provision, and
this upon the theory that of two evils choose
the lesser. Believing that said bill, not
withstanding it's many faults, containing a.
il does, the income tax, is a great improve
ment on the Mckinley bill.
