Topeka Letter.

Reeslar correspondence
Daniel c. Zercher, assistant secre-
tary Of state, has issued his fourth
letter to the public showing another
great steal on the part Of old Repub-
licaR state officials. This las6 ex-
pose consists Of Overcharges in the
secretary's Office in issuing charters.
In his Introductory, preceding a two
column article Of itemized over
charges, Mr.. Zercher says:
''The well known practices of Kan-
Sas state officials continue to come to
light. They usually cover up their
tracks deep. But at times they ap-
parently acted as though the Repub-
lican party had perpetual lease on
Kansas. In my three former letters
| showed from the records the items
where the Peoples party had saved
to the people of Kansas sl,4l2,636 %
over the former Republican state ad-
ministration, and challenged any per-
son to disprove my statements. For
mer Republican officials admit by
their silence that what l said was
true. TLey know better than to at
tack the records.

Every man Should have the right
to hold and enjoy the property which
the laws OF the cOnGtry have enabled
him to secure. 1t is time we had the
courage to stand together against this

which is running riot in this country.
and which il not crushed, mUst end
in the destruction Of liberties which
the laws give Ex-senator Wolcott.
Such an expression really needs no
comment to show the intelligent la
borer "where we are at" The KEY to
the whOlething is property which the
ldtcS have enabled US to secure" The
LAWS are exactly what is the mat
ter, aud the people claim the right to
so change the laws as to entitle a
man to hold and enjoy only what he
has earned by actual labor. Liber-
ties of the money power under the
law must be made equal to justice.
The law which allows plutecracy
special privileges must be repealed
and socialism and pOpulism will never
cease until the cause is removed.
They cannot and will not be
CRUSHED by force Of arms.

of mean whiskey and soak some
corn in it till it gets full of the stuff,
and then scatter it broadcast in the

and get drunk, and then you can
catch 'em and pull their heads off.
That beats pizen or shootin'."

evening of the fire, with the appro.

umns. An entire new plant, presses,
type and everything else that per-
tains to newspaper office, will have
to be purchased before the paper will
be thoroughly itself again, but that
will require only a short time, and
we expect to see the Advertiser
bloom again shortly bigger, better
and handsomer than before. Every
one will sympathize with the owners
of the paper in their loss. This is
time when the business men and the
Democratic party of that section
should testify their appreciation of
an excellent and useful paper by
promptly yielding unto the proprie-
tors all that is Justly theirs, and
little more as an evidence of abiding
faith.

WEST VIRGINIA.
The Steady Development Of the State
New Railroad Projects.
Baltimore Sun.


Despite the financial stringeney,
strikes and other drawbacks, West
Virginia seems to be making good
progress in development. Several
important branch railroads are now
in course of construction. The
Roaring Creek and Charlestown
Company, which is building a line
through the upper part of the state,
is making rapid progress. The line
is completed to point five miles
above Womelsdorf, to which point,
from the West Virginia Central d
Pittsburg, at Craetz, it is already
open and hauling considerable coal
and timber. The work beyond
Womelsdorf is making such head
way that five miles more can be
opened in a few days. The Gauley
Lumber Company will soon complete
a railway from its mills Belva,
W. Va, to the head of Blue creek,
down the stream three miles to
Spruce Fork, and up the latter four
miles. The company owns a tract
of 10000 acres of hard wood, and will
extend the line as the timber is cut
out. An engineer corps from Pitts
burgh has begun the preliminary
survey of the Charleston, Clenden-
min d Sutton railway extension from
Clendennin to Sutton. There are
over q dozen men in the corps, and
the route will be surveyed on each
side of the river. Better court house
accommodations are also being pro.
vided in several counties. Webster
county is building a handsome court
house at Addison. Clay county will
vote soon on proposition to issue
bonds for a court house, and Nicho-
las county will probably do the same.
West Virginia is possessed of great
natural wealth, and at the rate at
which it is being developed will soon
assume a commanding position
among her sister states.

Average Weight Of Wool.

of the department of agriculture
were instructed to send an estimate
of the average weight per fleece of

weight per fleece of this years wool
clip is shown to be 5.33 pounds as
against 5.3 pounds last year and 5.15
pounds for the census year. The
variation by states is considerable,
the range being from 2.5 pounds per
fleece in Alabama to rs pounds in
South Dakota. The chief causes of
this difference are varying climatic

End Of States Rights.

The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
Rep, says: Silver Dollar Bland and
Pence Of Colorado, were the only
members of the House of Represen-
tatives who gave voice to ANYTHING
like opposition to the passage of the
resolution endorsing the President
course in the railroad strike. 1t is
significant that such opposition
should be confined to the element
these two Congressman represent
The obviously proper action of the
President has given rise to SO many
expressions Of endorsement, that the
great majority of the House gladly
passed by the demand for specific
vote and laid out the grim spectre of
States Rights by viva voce vote.
1t appeared to be practically unani-
nous; at least the country will cheer
fully take it to have been such.
Governor Altgeld has really, how
ever unwittingly, done a service to
law and order, in his attempted OBJ
lection to the action of the e. S. gov
eminent The point has been brought
out beyond the cayil of anyone, that
the great avenues of commerce and
the free exchange of intelligence
among the people are in the care of
Federal authority. Cleveland ranks
with Andrew Jackson in this simple
conception of Presidential duty.
