Death Of Ex-Governor Robinson.

Charles Robinson died at his home,
near Lawrence, August II, and his FUN
srRl occurred ON Sunday afternoon. He
was 76 years old.
One Of the most prominent figures in
Kansas history was Charles Robinson,
the war governor Of the state. He was
born In HsrdWicb, Mass, and graduated
from q medical school at Pittsfeld. He
practiced medicine for several years in
that state, and then went to California
with the "eorty-niners," and was soon
elected to the state legislature, where
he supported John G. Fremont for
United States senator. In 1851 he re-
turned to Massachusetts,, and In 1854
came to Lawrence. He was territorial
governor Of Kansas from 1856 to 1861,
and was then elected as the first gov
ernor Of the state, holding that position
till 1868. He was Bfterward q member
Of the state Legislature; in 1890 he was
the democratic candidate for governor.
Since that time his voice has seldom
been heard on public matters, except to
express his approval Of Governor Lew
elling's administration or his dissp-
provsl of the laws relating to the regu-
lation OF railroads. For his remarkable
generosity and honesty, 90 well as for
his ability as public man, he was uni
versslly admired. As regent of the
State university and as q plain citizen
he was great benefsctor OF that insti.
tuition.

City Owns WaterWOFds.

The city Of Girard, Kss., has built its
own wsterworks at q cost to the city Of
S16,1S294. We clip the following from
the Nevada Director concerning it:
"The city of Girard," says the Press
''has the best and cheapest water system of
any town in the state, the largest supply,
and inside Of four years it will be paid for
and q handsome revenue coming into the
treasury annually from water rentals"
After drawing q long breath the Press
adds, ''ThiS iS q work Of which TO be
proud"
Aye, truly.
This is only an object lesson on Q small
scale Of what the Peoples party would do
for every city In the state, for the state
itself and for the nation. II is very crafty

While it's true that some Of the jurors
had heard Of the failure Of the bank, yet
that jury was composed Of twelve hon

defendant Myers was fairly tried in this
respect. The court had given his coun-
sel great latitude, and the records will
show that never was there q case tried
whore the state permitted sll the evil

refused to take the stand and testify.
If he had conducted that bank honestly
and fairly, he could have taken the wit

He was afraid Of q CROSS. examination.

Republicans Defend Thlevery.

" W. MYERS pEGSl0eRb OL bn9 GE9enS-
burg bank (Kiowa county,, was recently
tried and convicted Of arson, for reCeiv-
ing deposits in his r9nk when 1T was
known to be insolvent. He was de-
Tended by OK. Congressman Peters, Of
Newton, late chairman Of the Eepubli-
can state convention. After he had Lost
his case Peters came out with the
astounding charge that the case was
simply q political prosecution on the
part OF Bank Commissioner BreidenthRl
and Attorney General Little. This
statement was widely circulated by re-
publican papers, which necessitates a
statement on the part OF these officials
who have done their duty so well. The
facts show that Myers dishonesty earned
for him q punishment little short Of
hanging, and that the verdict against
him was very light.
General Little shows that Myers had
carried on the most fsgrant system Of
fraud in handling the bank funds and
had committed perjury in making his
statements. In regard to the trial Of
the case, he says:
"After BreidsnthRl had taken posses
sion Of this insolVent bank, Myers went
to California, his attorneys said, and
fled papers in court showing that Myers
had left Kansas and become q resident
of California. So outraged did the
people of that county feel when they
learned the true situation OF the bank
that they made application to the gov
ernor for q requisition to return Myers
to that county for trial. The citizens
there claim they bad no one to prosecute
the case, That the then county attorney,
who was q republican, was indebted to
the bank in over $500, and that two OF
the county commissioners who were re-
publicans were indebted to the bank,
and that it was an impossibility TO do
anything toward bringing Myers to JUS
tice. The governor then ordered the at
torney general to 60 to Greensburg and
take charge of the case and prosecute
Myers, and all others connected with
the sWindllng arrangement. The trial
lasted for Is or 16 days. The county
attorney Of that county took no part in
the prosecution. w. ]. Stages OF To.
peka, who is republican and an expert
accountant, examined the bank and tes-
tilted that at the time the bank was
closed by Brsidenthal it was inSolvent,
and had been for more than year prior
to that time.
"In the prosecution Of this case some
OF the most active workers were rOpub-
licans, such men 40 DR.. Gardner and Dr.,
Gossett. The receiver appointed BY the
court is young man who had been in
the bank for about year prior to it's
failure, and who had given a good bond
for the faithful discharge Of his duty. 1t
was very perceptible that Myers be-
lieved that the state would be unable to
procure q jury in that county, and he
thought he would escape fOr that reason
like the slayer Of Sam Wood. II he did
not believe that he could get justice In
the county, he could have taken q

BRECKINRIDGE AT HOME.
Received Back Into One Church and De
nounced In Another.

LEXINGTON, KY, May THE town is
wild with excitement at midnight over the
sensational scenes witnessed in the Meth
odist Church, South. After the noted boy
preacher, II. c. Morrison, had finished his
sermon the pastor, Rev. +. l.. Southgate,
began to talk about the attack made on
the ministers by Colonel Breckenridge at
the opera house. He said that he was will
ing to lay down his life, if need be, in de-
Tense of the virtue of the women of the
congregation. With this he broke down,
and then Morrison arose and said the city
of Lexington was a ''Sodom and Gomor-
rah' because so many of her people wanted
to honor this man (meaning Breckinridge)
even by returning him to congress.
Southgate then added that he was sorry
his original remarks before the Young
Mems Christian association had not been
printed in every paper in the land. 81 re-
peat those remarks" he said. 81 again
say that no decent Christian can afford to
vote for this man." His remarks were
greeted with applause.
At meeting of the session of Mount
Horeb church, of which Colonel Breckin-
ridge is a member and over which his
father once presided, he was summoned to
appear. Colonel Breckenridge confessed
his guilt in about the same way he testi-
fed in the case just decided and prayed
forgiveness, saying that he had repeated
and would lead a new life in the future.
After a consultation he was forgiven and
taken into the church again.

ing service DR.. Talmage preached an elo-
quent sermon, taking for the text of his
discourse the words, ''One generation COM
eth, and another passeth away" During
the sermon DR.. Talmage spoke of the or
deal by fire through which the church had
passed and also of the good work accom-
plished in the raising of over 81, 100000 for
charitab BILE purposes during the past quar-
ter of a century. He referred to the fact
that but two or three of the original "a
who had extended him the call to come to
Brooklyn were alive.
The church was crowded to its utmost
capacity. The celebration will continue
on Thursday and Friday evenings of this
week, when the service will be of an inter

Some Brooklyn people, who failed to
call at the City hall and see what changes
had been made with their taxes, are aston.
ished at the enormous increase in their tax
bills which are now being sent out. One
man told the reporter to-day that his tax
bill this year is more than twice the
amount of last year, notwithstanding the
fact that he has since sold about sixty feet
of the lot which was included in his tax
able property last year. Others who slept
while the good work was going on are
equally surprised and declare that they
have been robbed.

Saturday has caused considerable COM

the city. A prominent resident of this
place said to-day that he hoped the Catho-
lie people of Waterbury would show them
selves possessed of sufficient common
sense not to be led into the error of COM
mencing to fight imaginary foes. He
thought that there is enough of the spirit
of justice and fair play among the Prot
estant people of this town to stamp out
such an organization should it come
amongst us without Catholics raising one
word of protest. He knew the better ele-
ment of the Protestant people desired a
better state of things between man and
man than the instlgators of such an or
ganization seek to bring about, and as it
is said to be made up of people processing
that faith, he thought it was safe to leave
the matter in their hands. Catholics

ROUGH ON AMERICANS.
Nicaraguans Seize Lands Leased by United
States Citizens.

States Citizens.
NEW ORLEANS, May --latest advices
| from Bluefields report that in answer tc
the demand of British Minister Goslin,
| Nicaragua has Cancelled her withdrawal of
British Consul Bingham's exequatur Mr..
Bingham refused to receive the eXequatur
unless accompanied by ample apology on
the part of Nicaragua and to come to him
through the hands of Minister Goslin. In
reply Consul Bingham has been called to
Managua the capital, and all boats on the
San Juan river and the lakes are held at
his disposal.
The murderer of Wilson, the American,
has not yet been tried, and he roamed at
large until Captain Watson requested that
he be arrested and tried. The Nicaraguans
have taken charge of leased lands at Blue
fields bluff belonging to Americans, and
they say that all leases for over eight years
will be cancelled as illegal, though inn
provements amounting to over 81, c00,0OO
have been placed thereon by Americans,
and NicaraGuans, through the previous
commissioner to the Mosquito reservation,
General Isidore Urtecho, forced the Mos
quito government to issue lease for so
years for 81 acres of said bluff lands in
1886 and 1887.
The Americans have been frequently told
by the Nicaraguans, Your government
will do nothing for you; we know that"
and acting on that assumption have in
suited Consul Braida, American citizens
and the government of the United States.
Had the government at Washington
acted as promptly as England has done,
the proper respect would have been shown
to American interests, American citizens
and the country's flag abroad.
The action of Nicaragua in canceling the
blr
tur and his being called to Managua
smell strongly that England, in not forcing
her treaty rights, is obtaining something
better from Nicaragua, and as usual Eng
land by her vigorous policy is getting ahead
of the United States
