Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1894-02-01

A FEW days ago, a commercial
traveller "a Republican was in the
city, selling goods-or trying to.
While chatting with merchant in
the evening, political subjects were
discussed, and, during the conversa-
ton, the merchant expressed the
opinion that there is no longer any
difference between the two old par
ties that they work to each others
interest. The drummer acknowl-
edged the truth of the merchants
remarks, and, in proof thereof, he
showed the merchant letter which
he had received from Democratic
banker, in which he urged the drum
mer to use all of his influence to Sc
cure the nomination of Morrill, Re-
publican) for governor, "as Morrill,
is at the head of several banking
institutions in Kansas, and would
be very safe governor" This is
one of the many pointers" which
prove that the two old parties are
two in name only.

THE Chicago Tribune attributes
hard times in the cities TO over-pop
ulation, and advises an exodus to
the county. The Inter Ocean con
soles the farmers who complain OF
hard times by inf rming them that
their trouble is due to 0ver-produc-
ton. If the farmers are reinforced
by the idle population of the cities,
the consequence must be still great
er over-production, and times so
hard that grain and meat products
would not bear transportation.
Thinning out the city population
and transplanting on the farms is a
poor remedy for over-production;
but, as yet, that is all the remedy
proposed by such great metropoli-
tan papers as the Tribune and Inter
Ocean.

QUEER LOTTERY SCHEMES.
Clever Devices and Bogus Circulars
by Which Many People are
Being Swindled

New ORLEANS, La, June %, 1894.
Since the Louisiana State Lot
terry company removed to HOndur-
as and resumed business under the
name of the Honduras National
Lottery company, the patrons of
this great concern have been eager
bait for clever operators, and every
month thousands of people are
taken in by lottery schemes which
purport to be the original Louisi-
ana state lottery.
The mOdus operandi is to send
bunch of tickets to some promi-
nent person, inclosing a compli-
mentary ticket good for $4,000.
The party is instructed to sell one
fifth of the ticket to some other
well-known prominent person, and
keep thesOther fifths for himself.
Another condition is that the par
ty must remit 500 in payment for
tickets, at least three days before
the drawing"
In order to make the offer appear
genuine, a circular of the Hondu-
ras National Lottery company is
enclosed with the address of j. H.
Lombard & Co, New Orleans, La,
carefully stamped in red ink over
the address of Paul Conrad, Puerto
Cortez, Honduras, G. A, care Cen
trail America Express, Port Tampa
City, Fla. AS a matter of fact, the
Honduras National Lottery COM
pany has no such agency in New
Orleans, and Lombard q Co. never
had any connection with this COM
pany. The New England states
are flooded with the bogus circu-
lars, and a number have already
been swindled.-Boston Mass

PRESIDING JUDGE BURT,
Of the Criminal Court of Appeals,
Gives Pointers 20 Local Peace

Of the Criminal Court of Appeals,
Gives Pointers 20 Local Peace
Officers.
Presiding Judge Hurt, of the
Court of Criminal appeals, was n
the city yesterday under the es-
cort of his honor, Judge Bryan
Callaghan and General G. w.
Russ. He was introduced at the
court house. The Judge is tall
and of massive figure, with merry
twinkling eyes, indicating his gen.
iality. He has clear cut judicial
features, face is clean shaved except
that it is ornamented with a white
"goatee." He speaks we'll, and
in most interesting way, making
him fine conversationalist as
well as an orator, and strange to
say these faculties, though similar,
are not always blended together.
Deputy Sheriff McCloskey and
Constable Andreas Brown were in
troduced to the Judge; who said:
"Gentlemen 81 believe that Texas
has the best peace officers in the
country and am always glad to
meet and know them. The only
trouble is that they sometimes go
too far in their zeal to discharge
their duty. | am convinced of this
when | take up paper and read a
sheriff's advertisement, "Who
wants him." in which a descrip-
ton of a man is given who is
held without warrant or any atfi-
davit of crime. n o arrest canbe made
without warrant, except under
peculiar and urgent circumstances,
under which head the arrest does
not come, and one Of these days an
officer and his bondsmen will find
themselves in a big damage suit
that will sock it to them"-
"But," interposed Deputy Sheriff
McClosky, "officers exercise discre-
ton and don't arrest men that are
not of bad character. Why, l arrest
ed seven at one pop, in the way you
speak of, and we were able to prove
that all they had was stolen. They
were men of no character and SIM
ply preying on the people,"
"That," continued Judge Hurt,
81 was going to say. The men
arrested are of no character
and juries would be apt to think
that, even if nothing was fou nd
against them the officers did we'll
to investigate and return a ver-
dict in their favor, but in law it is
wrong and you connot be too care
full for where there is no warrant
for arrest you are apt to strike
snag and an expensive one too, es-
pecially if the arrested man has a
character and the officers fail to
show legal warrant for his ar
rest"

ABOUT SEWERAGE.
DISCUSSION BEFORE THE MED
ICAL SOCIETY.
The Plan of the Present City Ad-
mlnistration Outlined by the
Mayor Further Discus
sion Proposes

The special sewerage meeting of
the West Texas Medical associa-
ton, held last night in the county
court room, was attended by a
larger number of medical practi-
TONERS than usual at meetings
of the society, and outside citizens
also were admitted. The discus
sion of the question was opened by
the report Of the special commit
tee appointed the previous meet
ing. The report declared as fol-
lows:
"Your committee appointed to
report on the question of system
of sewerage for the city OF San An
tonic have the honor to report that
the position and opinion of the as
ISOLATION is what it was in 1882,
when the question was first moot
ed, and that it clearly since that
time has but served to emphasize
and corroborate that opinion.
''In 1882 the death rate was 50
per 1905 per annum in the month
OF June. In the month of Nav
this year it was 80 per 1000 of
amount Of the population, compar-
ing very unfavorably with the
larger cities of America and Eu-
rope, the death rate in the city of
London being 10 $40 per 1000 per
annum, while in New Orleans it
was % per 1000 per annum. The
comparison of these death rates
ought to suffice to carry conviction
to every unprejudiCed mind of the
imperative necessity of such sani-
tary precautions of which sewerage
is the chief. To counteract the
operations Of those causes which
generate Zymotic filth diseases,
to which young children are the
hrst to fall victims, as exemplifled
IN the recent experience of our
city, when more than 20 per cent of
deaths were among children under
years OF age it would be superog-
atory to point out to members of
the association the disastrous in
thuence of those morhific causes
and the Importance of correcting
them. We therefore recommend
the passage of the following reso-
luton:
"Resolved, That in view OF the
disastrous condition of the public
health in the City of San Antonio,
that 1t has become vitality requisite
to institute a complete system of
sanitation, foremost amongst
which measures sewerage cover
ing the central and more denseIy
populated portions of the city !:

Resolved, That the emergency
is an urgent one, but that the nee

the average man spends on tobac'
co. III he insists that he cannot
pay so much additional tax say
he won't have 20 pay it, for the tax
rate will be lowered, for the needs
of the city will not be so urgent as
now, as large indebtednesses are
being wiped out and it will cost
less to run the city government,
hence the tax rate will be lower"
He pointed out that when the
city settled with the San
Antonio National bank that
100000 vas paid last year,
and that the city stands
ready to soon pay the other INSTALL
ment, and that the taxes were not
increased. So with the voting of
the school fund. He said that
"some of the savings in running
the city government are $4,000 per
annum on lights, $1,000 on water,
$4,000 for interest, $4,000 on hos
pital accounts and $4,000 miscel-
laneous reductions, making a total
OF $5l, $3.50. The city having no fur
Their use for this amount, together
with the large amount of floating
debt that has been paid off, the
general revenue tax can be reduced
lilo of l per cent, which will
equalize things and set off the tax
necessary to pay the interest and
sinking fund on the sewer bonds"
In speaking of the operating ex-
penses he said that "if the city
put in sewerage system an ordi-
nance would be passed compelling
every house owner to connect with
the system. The entire operating
expenses will not reach $4,000 per
year. The rate for each house in
the district will not be over %
cents a month or So yer year. The
surplus money can be applied to
the sinking fund to pay off the or
iginal costs" He pointed out that
the present imperfect system of
costs the people on an
average OF Sl2 per year. "Besides
this the 5000 houses in the district
pay Sc per year for the water in
bhcll SlosoUS, uuU Clle pIeS6ub " d.
terworks company contract speci-
fies that the charge for the water
shall cease and thus $4,000 per
year can be saved on that scor9."
The matter of sewerage disposi- |
ton was also touched on by him. |
''To certainty he said, cit can
not go into the river, because the
flow Of the river is not sufficient"
He spoke of various other methods |
which he held to be embryotic and |
not practical. "The method sug-
gested by Engineer Gray will be
that of irrigation, which has the |
of the great German
authority, Baumeister. 1t is the |
cheapest and most economical sys-
tenn. 1t is in successful operation
at Los Angeles"
DR.. Hadra moved that the mayor |
and the council and a committee |
Of one or more members of the |
West Texas Medical association be |
invited to participate in the de-
alterations on the sewerage ques-
ton. This was adopted and the
meeting adjourned.
