In the management of the city library.
There has always been good deal of

every one who has investigated the sub

MISS ANTHONY's PLEA.
She Says That Even Municipal Suffrag'
May Yet Be Lost.

She Says That Even Municipal Suffrage
May Yet BE Lost.
Susan B. Anthony said today in speak
ing of the attitude OF the Republican
politicians:
mo plank in the Republican platform
will mean just what its neutral plank
meant in the woman suffrage amendment
campaign of 1867. Not only silence on
the part of every accredited campaign
speaker and editor, but on the other
hand it will mean liberty to every op-
ponent-both in the regular political
meetings and Republican meetings-to
say their say against the amendment.
Hence no plank will mean liberty to our
enemies and silence to our friends.
Remember 1867 The Republican
party declared themselves neutral and
every accredited speaker sent out by the
Republican state committee-Hallock,
Plumb, Eskridge, Judge Sears, General
Blunt, ct al.-hurled anathemas at the
women who advocated the measure.
Silence now will mean exactly what
neutrality meant twenty-seven years ago.
"No plank will mean that the nine
hundred representative Republicans of
Kansas in convention assembled are not
manly enough, just enough, men
enough, to declare that the opinions of
the women of the state shall be gathered
| up at the ballot box, weighed and meas

GERMAN-AMERICANS.

Oscar Bischof7S Speech Opposing Woman
Suffrage and Prohibition.
The German-American League is in
session in the city today, at the Turner
hundred and twenty-five delegates are
present Oscar Bischoff made a stirring
speech, in which he declared against
woman suffrage and prohibition. He
was loudly applauded, and a vote was
taken commencing his speech. The
following is a synopsis of it, and ex-
presses the sentiments of the league:
"The object of this assembly, which is
composed of German American citizens
of Kansas, representing as delegates the
various German-American leagues
in the state of Kansas, is not
to inspire or contend for political
aggrandizement upon the line of ma
tionalities some sophistical prohibi-
tionists aim to cOnstrue it, nor is its pur-
pose to inoculate into the loyal German
heart the venom of socialism or anarch-
ism.
to have the people of our nativity in
these grave hours of threatening calam-
ity to do their duty as patriotic Ameri-
can citizens, always true to the Stars and
Stripes of this glorious union in peace
and war, the restoration of the states
credit, encourage and further emigra
tion and to that end we believe it our
sacred duty to combine our strength and
efforts against the adoption of the wo-
man suffrage clause at the election next
fall aud for an early resubmission of the
prohibitory amendment to vote of the
people.
with the experience of the last thir-
teen years in the state sensible man
can fail to see that the interests of every
property owner are for the elimination
of the prohibitory article from the or
ganic law.
'The defeat of woman suffrage means
hope for timely liberation from the rule
of prohibition and crankism. On the
other hand should this measure carry,
we might as well sacrifice our belong
ings and leave the state.
thence be on the alert. If we do not
show our strength this fall they will
fasten the fangs of this viper 80 deep
into this oppressed community that all
the powers of earth will never tear it
away"
Resolutions similar in tone to Mr..
Bischoff's speech were adopted.

BENT FOR WHITE METAL.
Senator AIurdock shouts for Free Silver

Senator Murdock shouts for Free Silver,
16 to L.
Senator 7. B. Murdock, editor of the
Eldorado Republican, is at the head of
the Butler county delegation, and is here
managing the interests of w. III. Ellet,
candidate for state treasurer.
Senator Murdock said: 81 am for free

silver Republicans of Kansas. l am for
free silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Coin

The EldOradO editor says he wants to
be on the committee on platform, and
if he gets on that committee he
will insist on free silver
plank. He had some very good
words for w. H. Ellet, candidate for state
treasurer. He said: "Our man is the
only farmer before this convention for a
nomination, and he is not only farmer,
but he is good citizen and an able man
The present Pop Treasurer Biddle came

Western Papers Endorse Him for State
superintendent.
A number of papers in the western
part of the state are giving A. w. Stubbs
of Haskell county a handsome endorse
ment for the position of state superin-
tendent of public instruction. He grad
uated at the state normal school in 1876;
has been an active citizen of Garden
City and of Haskell county since 1885.
He was one of the founders of the
Western School Journal and has been at
the head of the public schools of Chanute
and Emporia. He has taken lively in
terest in irrigation and served as dele
gate to number of national conventions
held to foster the enterprise.
The Haskell County Monitor says:
EsThere is a very strong feeling that the
big southwest should have a representa-
tive on the state ticket, and in the event
of failure to recognize the claims of
western Kansas before superintendent is
reached, Haskell county will present the
name Of Hon. A. w. Stubbs for superin-
tendent of public instruction. Mr..
Stubbs is gentleman in every way quail
flied for this responsible position, has a
very large acquaintance among the lead
ing men of the state, and will add
strength to the ticket
The Garden City Sentinel says: 'tMr.
Stubbs course in the last legislature two
wears ago, when he declined to take ad-
vantage of his certificate as a member
of that body and assist in its organiza-
ton, has given his name wide circula-
tion in every community in the state, and
his course that time has been universally
commended by all right thinking people,
and should his name find place on the
state ticket at this time, it will prove d

country is a sound currency. Use Just as

The seven congressional districts of
the state have already held their conven-
tions, and taking the seven altogether
they are as representative as this con-
vention is, and would be satisfied with
the platform adopted by any one of the
for any one form of money.
In the Seventh district they
demanded the use of both gold and silver,
and in our district, the First, we simply
copied the platform of the last national
convention on that subject. / will be
satisfied with whatever the convention
does, as l am sure it will do the right

In speaking of other features of the
platform Major Morrill, said: "This is to
be the most representative convention
ever held in Kansas There are about
900 delegates from all over the state, and
they will clearly represent the ideas and
demands of the people.
Everybody knows that / am a pro-
hibitiOnist and | am pronounced in favor
of woman suffrage so that whatever
action the convention may take on those
subjects, will not effect me in the least

ured and counted side by side with the
opinions of the men, to be crystalized
into law. 1t will mean that the Republi-
cans of Kansas-so far as their leaders
are concerned-dare not even express a
wish that the political position of the
men of the state to that of the women
shall cease to be other than that of the
czar of Russia.
This is the crucial hour for the Re-
publican party of Kansas. the hour in
which they must choose the company
they will keep-tO falter now is not only
to sin, but to lose all for which they have
so gloriOusly fought in the past. 1t is to
lose the supremacy of the sober and
thrifty, it is to lose the little-the muni-
cipal vote@which they, seven years ago,
extended to women; no plank is to say
we have had enough, we want no more
of wOman's voting. In short, no suffrage
plank in the Republican platform is but
the beginning of the end-of the old
saying, from him (her) that hath not

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
A Cut in Salaries Proposed-Exc1usfOn of
Married Teachers.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
board of education last night two i'm
portant subjects were discussed, cut
in salaries and the exclusion of married
teachers.
Regarding the cut of salaries, it is ex-
planned that there is a threatened defici-
ency staring the finance committee in the
face, and retrenchment is necessary. SO
Mr.. Beck moved that all teachers getting
more than 500 a month be cut 10 per
cent, and those getting less than 500
cut five per cent This motion didn't
carry, and action on this line will be
considered again at the next meeting.
Mr.. Wilson offered this resolution,
which was adopted, with only Mr. Beck
voting against it:
Resolved, That in the election of new
teachers il shall be coils ary to the pol
icy of this board to elect such as have
able bodied husbands to support them
and furnish them a home."
Mr.. Thomas thought a married wo-
mans place was in her home and he did
not hesitate to say so. He believed that
the young teachers should have a
chance.
This resolution was carried unani-
mously:
"Resolved, That in the appointment of
teachers for the public schools in the
coming school year, no white teachers
be appointed to positions in any of the
colored schools"
Mrs. Nj. c. Price and Mrs Jane t.
Cleland of Harrison school we're con-
graduated by the board for having COM
pleted their twenty-tift consecutive year
as teachers in the Topeka public schools.
The following designations were ac-
cepted: Miss Elizabeth Smith of Grant
school, Miss Anna B. Ward of Grant
school. Miss Kate Donnell of Qdincy
school, Miss Elizabeth Mcintyre, Miss
Ida Dennott and Miss Mary G. German
of Washington school
Miss Edith Davis was added to the
force of the Parkdale- school

Ex- Con gresham Samuel r. Peters of
Newton may be temporary chairman of

A meeting of all the candidates was
held in Major Morrilrs headquarters
at eleven o'clock this morning for
porary organization, and this was agreed
upon.
In speaking of the meeting afterwards
Major Morrill, said: s'There was an al
most unanimous sentiment for Judge
Peters and he will be the chairman. In
the selection of a chairman there is an
erect which we people at home

careful study during the last few months,
