Society,

It takes more than sensational CAM
psign uttersnces to prove a man a crimi-
nal after he has made practice OF con-
fining his business acts to the require
ments of the law. Yet n. N. Morrill,,
candidate for governor, stands convicted
Of the most inhuman Belfshness and
cruelty to his fellow men that could be
prscticed within the bounds Of law. He
stands charged by his neighbors OF hRv-
ing made false statements to the
assessor in order to avoid paying his just
share Of taxes, and Of having collected
usurious interest from the poor. He
may be q lsw-Rbiding man but in these
days it takes more qualifications than
that to gain a man the confidence and
respect of the people of Kansas. A man
may stand up for law, as Shylock Of old
did, and be q villain still
The matter Of Mr.. Morrill, avoiding the
payment Of taxes on his possessions and
Of prRc ticiDg usury We leave for the
future and pay attention to his rec
ord Of robbing the homestead settlers Of
Kansas. The facts stated below, to-
Rether with the afidsvits corroborsting
them, were published by the Washing
ton Republic, in locality where hun
dreds Of witnesses stand ready to
verify them. Those who do not con-
slider this statement satisfactory should
write to L. J. Sprengle, Washington,
Kss., for a list Of names OF those who
have been swindled by E. N. Morrill,.
There is plenty Of time in which to do
30 before deciding as to whether he is
fit man for governor Of Kansas:
In aid Of the building Of the St Joseph
& Denver City railroad, the general gov
ernment by act Of congress granted to
said railroad company IL million acres
Of land through portions Of Marshall and
Washington counties Kansas, and several
southern counties in Nebraska. The
original grant consisted Of every odd
numbered section for ten nileS on each
side Of the railroad through the territory
named, which had not already been
settled on through homestead, pre-.
emption, etc. As many Of these lands
had been settled on, the railroad was
gIVen an additional ten miles on each side
Of the original grant from which out Of
the odd numbered sections it could Sc
lect enough land TO make good all that
was lacking IN the original grant This

cause it was to indemnify the railroad
company for the shortage in the original
grant. The original grant was dated
March q, 1870, but the land Office at
OOncordis did not receive the word until
April Is, 1870.
May IA, 1870, the said railway COM
pany mortgsgsd It's lands to the Farm
ers' loan & Trust company, Of New
York for So million dollars. In course
Of time this mortgage was EoreClosed,
and August 80, 1876, was bought in by
what was known as the purchasing
committee" September %, 1876, this
purchasing committee" decided the
lands to the Kansas & Nebraska Rail.
way company. The same day the latter
issued ''deed Of trust" to Henry NJ.
Butterworth and Charles w. Hassler,
trustees, to large part OF the lands.
December 20 Of the same year, 1875, the
trustees gave a power Of attorney to
Alfred Mitchell, q Wall street million
airs, empowering him in their names to
sell the lands. Morrill, & James, bankers
and real estate men Of HiswsthR, Kss.,
were made the agents FOR tho sale Of
the lands by Mitchell, and as Mr. James
part Of the business WR8 to run the
bank, Mr.. Morrill, had charge Of the
real estate business Of the firm, and that
he had practically unlimited power to
fix prices and dispose Of the lands will
shortly appear.
The spring Of 1870 was when the
great bulk Of Washington county was
homesteRded, and the number OF tracts
entered between the date Of the land
grant, March q, 1870, and the time
the land Office at Ooncordis was first
notified Of the grant, viz, April IA, 1870,
was very large. These settlers went
ahead and improved their places, totally
unconscious Of the lines that were work
ing and being worked to finally deprive
many Of them Of their homes. At that
time few newspapers were read By the
settlers, because few were published and
they were too poor 10 buy them had
they been obtsinable. Hence 1t was q
long time before many Of them learned
that there were adverse claims to their
lands.

State Bank Tax Question to be Voted
Upon on Wednesday.
The galleries of the House were unusually
well filed yesterday, and On the floor there
was goodly array of occupied desks during
the early part Of the day.
As the afternoon wore on the attendance
thinned out. and when adjournment came
:here were not half a hundred members on
the floor.
Two Senate bridge bills were passed, one
to authorize the construction OF bridge
across tho Delaware river by the Pennsylva-
mia and New Jersey Railway Company, and
the other extending the time for the cohstruc-
tion Of a bridge across the Calumet river.
The Brawley bill was discussed by Repre-
sentativss Dalzell (Republican, Pa and Ray
ner Democrat. Nd for the opposition, and
by Representatives Cobb Democrat, Ala. }
and Oates democrat, Ala. in favor of it, and
then Senate joint resolution appropriating
900 to defray the expenses Of the Senate
investigating committees was passed.
Mr.. Dalzel finished his speech with an elo-
quent tribute to the Republican party for the
system which he said was one of its brightest
jewels. He was followed by Mr. Rayrer
Dem. Md }, who opposed the repeal OF the
state bank tax, and general denunciation Of
the position of some men that money could
be created by printing presses.
The final vote on the state bank question
will be taken at O'Clock Wednesday after
noon. This conclusion was reached after
conference in Speaker Crisp's room yesterday
A rule was thereupon drawn by the Rules
Committee providing for continuance of
general debate Tuesday, debate under the
tive-minute rule Wednesday, and vote at
o'clock. The rule will be presented to the
House tomorrow, and there is little doubt OF
It's adoption.
