In the legislative bill which has
passed the Senate is embodies one OF
the most important changes in the rou-
tine work Of government made since
the war The bill carried into effect
the recommendations of the Dockery
commission to reorganize the account
ing system of the treasury department,
which was established in 1892 by
Alexander Hamilton and has been in
vogue since, with occasional revisions.
The new system, which will bring up
to date work which is dragging two
years behind, is intended to secure
the prompt adjudication of claims and
accounts, while incidentally it saves
the government $4,000 year by
dispensing with the services of 1S5
clerks.
The daily reports received at the
war department from the troops en-
gagged in preventing disturbances on
the railroads in the West show that
the resistance of the strikers has gen.
orally diminished from formidable riot
ing to petty annoyance and obstruc-
ton. This is particularly true of the
Northwest General Merritt at St
Paul, for instance reports that obstruc-
tions have been encountered on tn
Great Northern road running north
from St Paul, likewise at Livingston,
Montana. There is trouble, and in
fact much friction exists on all Pacific
roads. From San Francisco General
Ruger reports that it will be necessary
to send the trains under guard for some
time to come.

THE DEBATE.
Mccormick Puts W. K. Brown on the
GridirOR.

Mccormick Puts W. K. Brown on the
GridirOR.
A good big audience greeted n. B.
Mccormick at the opera house last
Saturday when he opened the debate
with W. K. Brown by masterful and
unanswerable speech. He talked for
an hour on national politics and the
leading issues of the day. When he
closed the audience applauded his eff
forts by cheers and yells that were
deafening.
Brown came to the front a defeated
man. Instead of making a rebuttal
speech he branched out on a sympa-
thetic and set harrangue. He never
attempted to answer the able argu-
ment of his opponent He knew it
was useless. He made statements that
we're false and not backed up by any
authority whatever. He closed with
one of those forensic wind storms for
which he is noted, but it fell on an au-
dience that was as cold as the snowy
peaks of Greenland's mountains.
His opponent then came on for the
last Is minutes and literally made a
monkey out of Brown. He smote him
hip and thigh, he got him coming and
going.
Brown was outclsSsed. He met an
opponent that was far superior in
dealing with history and audiences,
and that had the might of right on his
side.

but to Pupulism. Our political enemiss
of both old parties pronounce the Peo-

different in the very next campaign.

publioanism what will come upon the
rebound of public sentiment? When
deduction is made for voters lost by
the exodus to the strip and on account
of crop failures since, the strict Popu-
list vote will show substantial and re-
markable gains. In the senate there
are 40 Democrats, Al Republicans and
6 Populists. So the Populists will hold
the balance of power. This is a pretty
good showing.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 8.-The Republi-
cans have carried Kansas by a plurality
of about 1900, and probably have a
majority over all.
Republican Chairman Leland claims
also the election of the congressman in
six of the seven districts by pluralitiss
or majorities as follows:
First-Case Broderick, 1000.
Second-O. L. Miller, 5000.
Thirds. S. Kirkpatrick, 1900.
FOurth-Charles Curtis, 5000.
Fifth-W. A. Calderhead, 1000.
Seventh Chester l. Long, 1000.
In the Sixth district William Baker
Populist, received 300 majority over
Ellis, Republican. Mr.. Baker will be
the only Peoples party congressman
from Kansas.
The figures are only estimates and
the official returns may materially
change them and possibly reverse some
of them.
Leland also claims gains of % legis-
lative districts in the following coun-
ties: Meade, Clark, Barton, Cloud, Ora
ham, Crawford, Dickinson, Linn, ELS
worth, Geary, Kingman, Leavenworth,
Nemaha, Neosho, Usage, Ottawa, Rice,
Saline, Sedgwick, Washington, Sumner
%, Wabaunsee, Wyandotte ~. He
looks for gains in other counties. He
admits the loss of Greeley, Ness and
Rush, which gives the Republicans a
net legislative gain of q, which added
to the 65 Republicans in the last house

the Republicans a total membership of
l02 on joint ballot.
Chairman Breidenthal has practically
given up the fight. He says the Popu-
list defeat was due to the failure of the
labor and German vote to stand by the
ticket. He admits that the RepubH-
cans would have over 100 votes in the
joint session of the legislature.
The suffrage women are greatly cast
down. They see nothing in the returns
for them, although they try to to keep

don hope until the returns are all in.

For probate judge, r. A. Kent, POpu-

whom Sherman county owes her first
settlement. He will make a good Off

his election. Mr.. Kent succeeds w. A.

judgeship for two terms and he has
