She saw no one around the house ut any

turbance of any kind there. Mrs. Matson
was member of the Topeka Equal Suf-

We wonder how many of the de-
cent Populists of Kansas endorse
the action of the Populist party in
adjoining the walls of there conven-
ton halls with such caricatures OF
leading Republicans as they did at
Topeka at their state convention
last week. Of course, it didn't
hurt the Republicans who were in

OUR PENSION PLANK.

The Topeka convention hit the
nail on the head when it inserted
plank in our platform favoring a
fixed service pension, In the pres
ent pension laws there is great in
Justice, in that officers are given
higher pensions for the same disa-
bility, if incurred in the service,
than privates receive. Officers re-
ceived fair compensation in the
salaries allowed them during their
term of enlistment, and their pay
was so much higher than that of
privates that many officers were en-
abled to lay by something to start
on when the war was over, while
the pay of privates was insufficient
to maintain married soldiers tamil
lies. The private risked as much as
the officers, suffered greater hard
ships and made greater sacrifices,
because of less pay. Then why
should an officer receive the larger
pension and why is it that officers
pensions are seldom disturbed by
pension commissioners ? Is it not
in pensions as in everything else
where there are two classes con-
cerned? Is the pension policy of
the government not conducted on
the principle of giving to him that
hath, and Withholding from him that
hath not? We believe such 20 be-
the case, and we believe the Popu-
list delegates have hit upon a rem
edy for gaeat injustice, and, at
the same time, have also hit upon Il
measure that will forever settle the
pension question, and remove it from
the circle of political parties, where
at present the soldier is political
foot ball.

DR. WILLIAMS, of Olathe (who is a
mighty white Republican, by the
wayl, tells good story of a recent
teachers meeting at Topeka. He
says that, on the arrival of several
of the teachers at the depot, a
Populist teacher said to Republic
an teacher, "Where are you going
to stop?" "Well | guess I'll stop
at the Copeland house. Where
will you put up 7" "Oh," said the
Populist teacher, l'll stop at the
Dunsmore house, of course" AS
the Doctor didn't produce the pa
pers to prove his story, we take it
with a liberal allowance of salt.

POSTPONED.

The chairman of the Populist
congressional committee of the Sec
ond district, R. H. Semple, has
caused the postponement of the con-
vention at Paola from June 22d to
July 18th. Everything indicates
that the postponement is in the in
terest of Col. II. l.. Moore, who is
a Democrat, and expects the Demo
Gratis to re-nominate him. We are
of the opinion, however, that the
game won't work.

work for the suffrage plank in the
committee on resolutions, and made
a short but vigorous and telling
speech before the convention.

THE TICKET.
We were opposed to the re-nomi-
nation of Gov. Lewelling, and gave
our reasons for that opposition. We
still think he should not have been
re- nominated. However, as between
him and the president of national
bank and several other banks-a
man who lives off the necessities of
his fellow-men-there is no doubt
that the people will decide against
the banker-the 2-per-cent -a-month
and more) money-lender.
We consider the Populist ticket,
with one exception, far better, III
every respect, than that placed in
the field by the Republicans. The
exception we mention is Van b.
Prather, the Populist nominee for
auditor of state. He has not a
good moral reputation. We have
plenty of sober, clean men in the
Peoples party to fill all the Offices,
and it is unnecessary for US to pick
up any crooked sticks to use for
official timber
In the matter of saving money to
the people, the Populist party has
made splendid record, and would
doubtless have done much better If
it had gained full control of the
legislature. The party will make a
much better record during the next
two years. Mark that.

MORE OF THE CONVENTION.


since that time, 80 many other mat
ters have crowded themselves to
the front that we deem it best not
to give the description, as it would
occupy page, or more, OF our
space. 1t was an interesting sklr-
mish, however, and will not soon be
forgotten by participants or spec
tatOrs.
The opponents of the suffrage
plank were led by P. P. Elder and
w. j. Costigan of the Ottawa-To-
peka Journal). Elder fought quite
hravely at the beginning, but he was
unable to parry all the sharp thrusts
sent home by the noble women who
were battling for their rights, and
he finally surrendered and fell into
his chair. Immediately he was sur.
rounded by a number of his fair
foes. Susan B. Anthony patted him
on the back, while the others famed
him vigorously. Costigan and
colored delegate by the name of
Beck showed their asinine proclivi-
ties by grossly insulting the women
present, and if they had received
their just deserts, they would have
been kicked, bodily, out of the hall.
Rev. Anna Shaw, who had said
she would "whoop' for the Popu-
lists if they would "whoop" for her,
was invited to come forward and
"whoop." She stepped to the front
of the platform and said the best
"whoop" she knew of was the long
metre Doxology. "Sing J" said
Chairman Dunsmore, and three
thousand voices. joined in the hymn
of praise, led by Miss Shaw.
Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw
donned the Populist badge, and
Miss Anthony placed herself in the
hands of the state central commit
tee, to work for the Populists.
w
A message of kindly sympathy
was wired to Mrs. Mary E. Lease,
the stricken Populist queen" who
was still confined to her room at
Olathe, and in return she wired the
following message to the convention:
Populist State Convention:
NV Affections have not disabled
speech OF pen. | am thirsting for
the fray. With an anti-fusion con-
vention, a clean, honest ticket, and
an equal suffrage plank in the plat
form, victory is assured. Yours, in
the middle of the road,
| MARY E. LEASE.
| When this was read, the cheer
that went up was indisputable evil
i dence that our Jean d. Arc has lost
none of her hold upon the hearts Of
the people. They love her in spite
of the efforts of the politicians to
traduce her--to kill her.
