PRESTO!

The editor of the Topeka Capital
has been giving a very tame magic
lantern performance to q very unRp'
preciative audience for the past four
years. The shifting of the scenes
upon the canvass has been varied
enough, but the performance has
been managed by a very unskilltul
hand. The show has been very un-
satisfactory to the audience, and,
whether it has been remuneratiVe to
the proprietor, we submit to Dan
Anthony.
In his issue of May 8, he scolds the
Kansas City Journal and the Topeka
State Journal for the expression of
very unrepublicsn sentiments relative
TO the causes that have given rise to
the Coxey movement, which senti-
ments have been given wide circula-
tion by reproduction in the ADVOCATE.
The State Journal said something
about ''the congressional eagerness to
bend the knee to Wall street," and
the difficulty experienced by the
wage-esrners of the country in OBJ
tanning any legislation in their inter
est. This is a horrible confession for
republican paper to make nou0, and
the Capital must needs hasten to re-
buke it. 1t says:
So far as the Journals silly demsgOgloal
tWaddle about bending the knee TO Wall
street in financial legislation is concerned,
the republican policy on finance has been
primarily to the great and lasting adyan-
taRe of the wage-earners Of the country,
whose wages have constantly advanced and
been paid in the best money in the world.
Here the crank OF the machine
takes turn backward, and the Ospl-
tabs editorial page of January l5,
1891, appears upon the canvass for a
moment. Speaking Of Senator
Ingalls, great speech in the senate
the day previous, it says:
Senator Ingalls, attsOked the graspiDg
Rold-buRs for their continuous opposition
TO the demands for free coinage Of sfIrer
which he has more than once eloquently
advocated in the senate. He reproaches
the senate for cOnniving with the money
lOaners against the vast majority Of the
work-dsy people who are making this
mighty nation. he describes the
antagonists Of silver as the representatives
Of q monied aristocracy which is without
conscience and without humanity.
His speech will stand among the great
efforts of great orstory, and will DO some
thing to stem the current Of avarice and
rspaoity which greatly retards the progress
and threatens the very existence Of the re-
public.

evils against which his voice is raised are

able to tell just the straight Of the story
to the ADVOCATE readers.
Carl Browne Ia not another Coxey; he
was born bluff and hearty, impulsive,
liberty-loving-so he walked too fast to
suit the Washington police, besides he
wore one Of those four by six-inCh peace
badges, and its "Agin the Law" no matter

that grass than for @. P. Huntington

he learned out on the California plains
and his city horse and his special police

the row began, and the clubs rained

they were aimed toward that point Of
intelligence, and had not Carl Warded
the blows with his arms there wouldn't
have been any Marshal Browne in q
short time, but he surrendered 90
quickly as he could when he found he
was to be ridden down and dubbed for

was ever their pleasure to arrest.
AS q matter OF fact, there would have
been no trouble and Carl would have
"kept off the grass" hsd not the special
police, dressed in q little brief authority,
become excited and lost their heads.
This fact is sttssted by hundreds Of
witnesses. The time 10 arrest Carl
Browne should have been when he At-
tempted TO speak, and refused to obey
the order to desiBt, if he had refused.
It Ia somewhat previous, even for Wash

that he had been "brutslly dubbed and

port reached the men in the ranks.

attempt to enter the capitol grounds.

COUNTING SAHM OUT
But He Says He Still Wants to
Succeed Thompson.
Bynum's Impression-Senator Wishard
Not a Candidate for Congress-
Tenth District Vote.

The Washington correspondent of the
Journal telegraphs: The election of Mr.. AL
bert Sahm to the presidency of the State
Bank at indianapolis will likely Illustrate
the proposed removal of Pos. master
Thompson. The strongest card held by
Representative Bynum and Senators Voor
hees and Turpie in their play for a change
in the postmastership at Indianapolis has
been the personal popularity and fitness
for the duties of Mr.. Sahm, their candi-
date for the position. 1t is understood that
the President consented to the removal of
Postmaster Thompson largely If not wholly
because Mr.. Sahm was to be appointed to
the vacancy which it was proposed to Gre
ate. This afternoon the Journal cOrre-
spondent showed Mr.. Bynum a telegram
which had just been received from a di-
rector in the State Bank stating that Mr..
Sahm had been elected president of that
institution, and that this action would take
him out of the race for the postmastership
at Indianapolis.
THAT is the first / have learned of the
new honors thrust upon Mr.. Sahm,' said
Mr.. Bynum. If it is true that he has been
elected president of the bank and regards
himself out of consideration for the post
mastership, and have no doubt. that it is
Have you any other man in view for the
postmastership?' was asked.
NO" replied Mr.. Bynum. II know of no
one to whom the postmastership would be
rendered without consultation, but i pre-
sumo there will rise up quite an army of
aspirants."

Mr.. Sahm will put an end to the determine

clusion that there should and is to be a

OBJECT TO THE WILSON BILL.
Stone Masons Want the Tariff on &C.
ment Increased.

The delegates to the Stone Masons' ma
tional convention visited the monument and
the Statehouse yesterday. The visitors were
led to the top of the monument and min
utely examined the structure. They decided
that the monument was perfect in all it's
appointments and reflects much glory to
the craft which they represent The gen.
tlemen were also greatly impressed with
the magnitude of the Statehouse, and Of
fered no criticism. They expect to prepare
resolutions expressing their approval of
both the monument and State building
masonry.
A short session of the convention was
held last night and some brief changes
made in the constitution. Other changes
will be again taken up to-day. Tomorrow
that provision of the Wilson tariff bill
touching upon the duty on cement will be
brought up for discussion. 1t Is expected
that the matter will prove productive of
considerable warm argument. Many of the
delegates say that the manufacture of &C.
ment is inimical to certain lines of their
business and while they do not expect To
fight 1t as an industry in this country they
hope to retard the shipment of the article

Der of the delegates favor a petition &c
Congress advising that the tariff of cents

The County Commissioners did not reduce
the bills of Coroner Beck filed with them
a few days ago. The bill is for $500.06 and
was allowed by the commissioners in toto.
1t is for thirty inquests. but this is not
all the county will have to pay for the in
quests by any means. This is the amount
that goes 10 DR.. Beck, and there are a long
list of witnesses yet to be paid amounts
varying from 20 cents to several dollars. ac-
cording to the number of days they were
before the coroner and testified. An exam
nation OF the separate bills filed by the
coroner shows that for Dec. p he draws
five days pay. He took evidence In five
different cases on that day and in his bill
for each inquest he charges for a full day.

ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
officials of the City and Commercial
Club Meet with the Men.

There was another meeting yesterday aft
ernoon between Colonel Lilly, of the Com
mercial Club relief committee, Mr.. Hugh
Hanna, the Mayor, the Board of Works
and the committee from the unemployed,
but the conference did not develop any
new remedy for the present distress. d. F.
Kennedy was again the spokesman for the
committee from the unemployed. He
thought the food market could offer little
better bill of fare, one, for instance, that
might furnish a dollars worth of provisions
for a family of five. He thought little
hominy now and then might be we'll re-
ceived. Mr.. Hanna told him that it was
the intention of the committee to vary the
rations as much as possible and yet fur
nish substantial food. There was con-
siderable talk in which a great deal that
has already been said at previous meetings
was rehashed. One member OF the commit
tee from the unemployed thought the city
week. This would cost over $4,000 and the
city has no money TO be used on street
work. The city is so close to the consti-
tutional limit of its Indebtedness that IT
cannot borrow money, according to the
statement made by the controller yesterday.
Mr.. Kramer finally suggested that If the
Commercial Club relief committee obtain
$4,000 to be used on Garfield Park a great
many men could be given employment He
asked that the committee give thought to
this matter of raising $4,000 for the park
The plans have already been prepared and
the engineer has estimated that IL will
cost $4,000 to build the dam and dig out a
bed for the lake. Mr.. Hanna said he did
not think Ii would be of great benefit to
many men living in the northern part of
the city TO have work done at Garfield
Park. If the work was TO be continued
some time he thought IL might be well to
spend the money or the park. He promised,
however, to give the Board of Works an
answer at an early day In regard to the
suggestion made by the board.

Death of Cyrus w. Overman.

Cyrus w. Overman, who was born in
Henry county, near Carthage, Ind, Aug.
80, 1910, died yesterday morning at 6 o'clock
in his fifty-fourth year. Near the beginning
of the war of 1860 he enlisted in the Six
teenth Indiana Regiment, and continued in
active service until the close Of the war.
He then bcame a citizen Of this city, and
was widely and favorably known in insur-
ance circles as a painstaking and careful
underwater. He was member of Memoir
ial Presbyterian Church, filing acceptably
the office of deacon, and was many years
a leader of the choir and music of the Sun
day school. He was also a member OF
George H. Thomas Post q. A. r., and En-
campmsnt No. 80. Union Veteran Legion.
For the past two years he has been in very
feeble health, caused no doubt by exposure
and disease contracted in the army. Much
of that time has been spent away from
home in search of health. The funeral
services will be conducted tomorrow at 2
O'clock by Rev. Frank o. Ballard at Me-
mortal Church. assisted by Rev. ID. r. Van
Buskirk chaplain of George H. Thomas

shape during service in riots and strikes.
