GEN. swAIsI's RETIREMENT.

Speculation as to HIS ProbA bic Successor
in Office.
WARRINGTON, Dec. 3-The announce.
ment of the presidents intention to
retire Judge Advocate Swain this
month has caused much speculation in
military circles as to the succession.
Under ordinary circumstances Gen.
Swain would not retire before 1896
The president has adopted a course
which, while perfectly legal, has very
few precedents in the history of the
army. Up to this time but two names
have been prominently mentioned for
the succession. One is Joseph Doe OF
Wisconsin, assistant secretary OF war.
and the other is Col. G. H. Lieber of
South Carolina. Mr.. Doe has, however,
publicly denied any aspirations to the
place, and it seems very probable that
the office will fall to Colonel Lieber,
who has. since General Swaims suspen-
sion, discharged the duties OF Judge ad-
yocate general.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-President Cleve-

o'clock thia morning. 1t was the first
visit he had made to the city in two
weeks. He came alone and was met by
Mr.. Thurber when he entered. The
president looked very well, considering
the severe illness he had suffered from,
and the only outward sign of his ailment
was the pronounced limp which charac-
terized his walk from the carriage to the
house.
There were very few callers in the
morning, the only one of note being
Captain Catchings of Mississippi. W bo
in behalf of the speaker came to inquire
if the president would receive the COM
mittee on notification at the White

THE CHOLERA STEAL.

The appropriation of $1,000 by the
executive board to be expended by the
state board of health for the purpose OF
keeping cholera out of Kansas, is one
of the boldest steals that was ever per-
petrated upon public treasury. As
ex-Congressman Clover says in his let
ter: "There is not a case of cholera
now within ten thousand miles Of
the state of Kansas" There can be no
possible use for the expenditure of this
fund. So the purpose that prompted
the appropriation Of this money was
either that 1t might be used for po-
litical purposes or that it might be
pilfcred from the state treasury and
put in the pockets Of the populist of.
ficials.
DR., bikes, the president Of the state
board OF health, who strenuously urged
the appropriation Of this money, says
1t is necessary for members Of the state
board to travel all over the state and
examine the sanitary conditions Of the
people. This is the only excuse he
makes and it is so weak and senseless
that he had better said nothing. His
purpose was doubtless to travel over
the state on political missions at the
expense of the people, or to travel over
the state in theory and remaining at
home in fact, charging up mileage and
per diem.

A REVIEW
Of the Penitentiary Scandal and The
Governors Action in Connection
with The Affairs.
Warden Chase Accused Of Stealing Pub.
lie Funds and an Investigation Asked
but the Governor Declines to Order
the Investigation as the Law Re.
quires.

On Tuesday, July 81, Gov. Lewelling
promulgated his final decision in the
penitentiary investigation, in which he
declines to take further notice of the
charges preferred against Seth w.
Chase, the warden, by ex-Chief Clerk
Yarroll and ex-Mine Superintendent
Bum. 1t will be remembered that
Mr. Yarroll made six distinct charges
and specifications, in brief as follows:
/. That Chase did wilfully and know
ingly take from the appropriation for
boarding moneys, at three different
times, sums aggregating S535.45 and
that he used the same for the purchase
of hogs, and that he refused to make
any recounting, as provided by law.
2. That he collected rebate on the
purchase of 10000 pounds of bacon pur-
chased of Armour & Co., of Kansas
City, Kan, and that the records of the
institution make no showing of such
settlement.
3. That Chase placed the name of his
daughter, c. G. Chase, on the pay roll
in the month of May, 1893, as assistant
keeper contrary to the statutes.
4. That Chase permitted officers of
the penitentiary to take their meals in
the hospital kitchen, and to obtain
from the penitentiary store and butcher
shop, farm and COW barn articles of
food for the use of their families, in
violation of law
s. That Chase appointed a woman Of
i'll repute to the position of assistant
matron.
G. That he, at divers times, used
threatening and abusive language, un-
becoming gentleman, in his attempts
to coerce the chief clerk.
Mr. Bum, the ex-mine supcrintend-
ent, charged Chase with dereliction of
duty in placing in charge of the mines
incompetent and inexperienced men,
endangering life and valuable public
property; that John Chase, a son Of the
warden is carried on the rolls as assist
ant engineer, receiving pay for work
performed by others; that he disobeys
the superintendent orders, writes
notes to convicts in the mine, leaves
his post Of duty without the consent Of
the superintendent, etc, etc.
The demand for an investigation Of
these charges by legislative commit
tee came from leading populsts in all
sections Of the state. John W. Breiden-
thai went before Gov Lewelling and |
told him that the statutes plainly pre-
scribed his duty, and that any evasion
upon his part would be condemned by
the people Of Kansas.
Wholly disregarding the appeals Of
scores of populists who were unwilling
to see the governor whitewash Warden
Chase, the executive, as a mere pre-
tense ordered the board Of penitentiary
directors to meet at Lansing and in
vestigate the charges. That meeting
was held and the disgraceful pro-
reedinus which took nlo,a hava

I'VE declared that we were in favo
OF reducing the salaries Of officials s.
that their compensation would be nj
greater than that Of men in industrial

populist senate, at its last session
passed bill reducing the salaries o
the four janitors in the state house 81,
per month, while Mr.. Breidenthal hat
the appropriation for his Office increased
from IS, 900 to $4,000.
I'VE declared in favor Of economy In
the discharge Of public business, and
our state senate, at Its last regular SEES
sion, had 1853 employees to wait on and
care for forty senators, and within the
last week the executive council has
appropriated $1,000 to keep cholera out
OF Kansas, when there is not a single
case OF cholera on this continent nor
in any Of the adjacent countries.
Indeed, SO outrageous and prcpos-
ferrous has been the course Of the pres
ent populist state administration that
the democratic party has revolted
from it and will no longer give 1t sup
port There is not single idea that
was advocated by us in 1889 and 1890,
when we were laboring in the cause of
reform, that is now adhered to by the
popullst party. What, then, shall we
do? As for me, publicly state that !
can no congratulate with the populist
party and maintain my self-respect
l can never support the demo-
cratic party because l do not believe
in its principles. l shall, therefore, go
back to my old party, the republican
party. The republican party has
matchless history. 1t has given our
nation its greatest reforms and its
greatest statesmen. The defeats which
1t has suffered the last four years in
our state have brought it to a realiza-
ton Of the necessities of purity in its
methods and taught it that If 1t ex-
poets the support OF the masses it must
be the champion Of purity and reform.
"While the republican party is more
conservative than | am on financial
matters, yet believe that through 1t
we can secure financial reforms. The
public utterances OF its national lead
ers lead me to this belief. As one Of
the old republicans who went into the
populist party in 1890 hoping for relief,
| believe that we can secure the need
ed reforms better in the republican
party than any other. We don't want
anarchy; we don't want socialism. We
want simply just recognition Of the
rights of the farming and laboring
masses. have confidence that the re-
publican party is now willing to grant
us these rights, and for this campaign
shall give my influence in its behalf,
that If it is successful it will
listen to the voice Of the people and
rive them the justice and equity which
hey demand. B. Ii. CLOVER
