Another Lie Nailed.

There was a report current today
that Lewelling, Osborn and the con-
cert company Of state house employees
would refuse to accept pay from the
state for the time spent in campaign
ing and not attending to their
Offices. Weare assured by those high
in authority that this is . base canard
and q rank injustice to the expert
cash grabbers Of the reform party.
We never believed the rumor our
selves and our Pop friends will be
glad to know that it has been proved
false. II there is any one thing thai
cannot be forgiven in reiormer it il
that Of not living up to his opportun'
tiles as a boodler.

Office Holding and Saving.

The Kansas City Star, illustrating
the ups and downs Of political life,
informs its readers that s. G. Slower,
late Of Belleville, Kas., formerly state
treasurer and rated at one time as
wealthy man, is conducting small
hotel in Denver on the European plan
and is in reduced circumstances.
Charles M. Hovey, who was auditor
when Slower was treasurer, Is living
in Nebraska, and poor. But it is not
necessary to go so far away for a
moral. Take 1t in Dickinson county
which pays munifcent salaries to its
officers, salaries far in excess Of the
businessman's in Abilene,a nd yet you
can almost count on the fingers Of one
hand the men who have come out Of
the court house after terms OF two to
four years with any savings. To
some, only too well known, 1t has
seemed to be a detriment rather than
blessing and they have come out far
worse off than when they went in.
Occasionally there is man like Mr..
vanDyke, superintendent Of schools
two years ago. He drew none Of his
salary until the last day Of his term
and then took $2,4OO in lump.
Whether it is because Of the ex-
ceedingly heavy drains on the purse
for charitable work, the expense Of
campaigns or the temptation to ex-
travagant living = whatever the
reason, it is true that Office holding is
not only unthrifty but 1t usually UNI
fits man for success in other pur-
suits afterward. Men who have seen
a good deal Of the world frequently
say that it is bad thing for young
man to hold office and there is good
deal Of truth in the advice.

The people Of Dickinson county
have bad the pleasure Of hearing and
seeing Major f. N. Morrill,, the next
governor Of Kansas. They have had
an excellent opportunity to compare
him with the present incumbent and
the contrast is one that can but be
satisfactory to the Republican nomi-
nee. The story Of Major Morrill's life
Is as follows:
Edmund N, Morrill, was born at Wcstbrc)h
Cumberland county. Me-. February Il, Hii
He was educated In tho common schcq.S
OF his county and NJ Wcstbrook seminary
His father was tanner, and young Morfiil

resentlng Brown and Nomeha counties. In the

vate soldier ut Fort Lcayenworth, In company

Martin Flopped Too Late.

The remarkable move Of Senator
Martin in Topping to the Populists at
the eleventh hour is the thinest sham
of which that very sham statesman
has been guilty. Even the Populists
see It's real significance and detest the
hypocrisy of the man, In an inter
view yesterday, speaking Of Senator
John Martins flop to Populism, Con.
gressman-at-Large W. A, Harris, Pop
ulist, said he thought Martin was
rather late in coming to the aid Of the
Populist state ticket; that he must
have known that his return to the
senate depended entirely on what
help he could give the Populists in
the campaign, and that the attitude
taken by Martin in indorsing the
Democratic ticket on his return from
Washington, was a matter Of much
surprise to himself, as well as to all
Populists. He thought Martin should
have declared himself openly, as did
Senator Bryan, of Nebraska, early in
the campaign, and that had he done
so, the prospects Of his reelection to
the senate would have been much
more favorable.

Couldn't Name It.

For years 1t has been one OF the
demagogical "war cries" Of Populists
as well as Democrats, that the tariff
Legislation Of the Republican party
has promoted and fostercd the estab-
fishing Of trusts in this country; and
that these trusts have been robbing
the consumers. Nointelligent reader
Of the political history Of the times
has ever believed any such rot, for
the simple reason that free trade
England Is the very nursery and home
of the most gigantic and tyrannous
trusts that the world has ever seen.
But the effect Of the Mckinley bill
and kindred Republican Legislation
upon the prices Of commodities to the
consumers, formed very interesting
feature in the joint discussion be-
tween Mr.. Calderhead and Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Calderhead, in his opening re-
marks, while disclaiming any defense
Of trusts Of any nature or kind, and
expressly denying that the Mckinley
tariff encouraged or fostered trusts in
any particular, threw out the very
pertinent challenge to Mr.. Davis to
name one single article among all the
necessaries of life, which the Ameri-
can people produce, whether that
production is partly or wholly by
what are called trusts and combina-
tons, the price Of which has been
raised to the consumer by the
Mckinley bill. It would seem that u
party which has rallied at the McKin-
ley bill for the past two years, in the
manner in which Mr.. Davis and his
followers have talked about the
Mckinley 'infamy,N that their great
champion Mr.. Davis would have been
able to meet this simple challenge by
naming some article which the con-
sumner must pay more for under the
Mckinley bill than he paid for 1t be-
fore. Yet Notwithstanding Mr..
Davis friends in that audience were a
little nervous, and praying and hop
ing all the time that their champion
might be able to meet this challenge
by naming something that the McKin-
ley bill had advanced in price, still
the great dreamer was unequal to
the task, for the simple reason that
no such article exists, and Mr.. Davis
from that time on lost all interest in
the tariff discussion.

MISTAKEN FOR A BOMB.
A Corroded Powder Flask Found
On the Claudine.

The story of the unearthing OF
another alleged internal machine
has come to light. The story ar
rived simultaneously with the
CIaudine on Saturday, and if
person judged from the retentive-
ness displayed by the hands on
the boat one would think that an
arsenal had been discovered In the
hold of the steamer. 1t appears
that while the vessel was on her
way TO this port fireman found
what was thought to be a bomb.
The fiud caused a small sensation
aud the supposed bomb WAS placed
i'm charge of the chief engineer
When the vessel arrived 1t was
placed in the hands of the police,
\ and upon investigation 1t was
found to be an old fashioned pow,
Ger flask which had been corroded
BY age. The powder gave evil
deree of dampness and exposure,
and vas so old that 1t was reduced
to whit appeared to be SCOT when
rubbed between the hands OF the
man VITO made the examination.
1t was of very poor quality anu
very little damage W 1uld have re-
suited If tbs flask had exploded,
as there were Int five and half
ounces in all. The police also
learned that the flask WA not pur
chased in this city, and the only
Inference to be drawn IL that 1t
originally came from sOne mine
along with the coal.
