The advocate., 1894-09-05

You don't dare deny that you and
your prohibition friends are inconsistent
il you do not put forth a proper effort
to enforce the law.
You don't dare deny that the power
and influence of the republican party is
generally thrown against the Populist
police force to prevent the enforcement
Of the law in these cities.
You don't dare deny that a Populist
attorney general prosecuted one OF these
law viOlators, and had him behind the
bars, when a republican Judge turned
him out on writ Of hsbsRs corpus.
You don't dare deny that il Doodle has
been paid to anybody that the lottery
men, jointists and gamblers paid it to
their friends, the republican ofi,lals, who
have been and are protecting them in
their nefsrious business.
You don't dare deny that for thirty
years your party failed to pass q statu-
tory anti-lOttery law to enforce that
provision in our state constitution which
says: Lotteries and the sale of lottery
tickets are forever prohibited"
You don't dare deny that the rspubli-
can house Of 1893 (of which you were so
distinguished membsr) failed to pass
an snti-lottery law, although a Populist
senate had already passed it, and
Populist governor stood ready to sign it.
You don't dare deny that your repub-
licsn mayor and council of Kansas City,
Kas, can pass an ordinance (if they wish
toy on short notice, through which the
lotteries in that city can be closed.
In the face Of all these facts, il your
conscience as a prohibitlonist, and the
party to which you belong sanction
these things you cannot consistently
charge others with the non e1Rorcement
OF the law even il they should fail to en-
force the law, through no fault Of their
own. Very respectfully,

peanuts are to pay duty, reduced, 1T is
true, on unshellsd peanuts, though in
creased on shelled peanuts. This dis
elimination is unjust and lndefensible;
but while it minimizss the value of tha
change made in the peanut schedule by
our proEessed tariff reformers, it should
not, among thoughtful aud candid men,
deprive them Of their full measure of
praise for having otherwise ,equalizsd

COME AGAIN, JAMES.
COntinued from pare 1.

my knowledge that has ever dared say
that your party favored reduction Of
salaries of county officials until forced
to do so by public sentiment, created by
the Populist party. In many cases the
salaries were raised instead OF reduced
prior to that period.
Yes, sir, Mr.. Troutman; | said that
g72295442 tax was taken from the
shoulders Of the common taxpayers by
the Populist board Of railroad assessors
when they equalizsd the railroad assess
ment with other property Of the state,
and you don't dare 90 before the people
Of Kansas and attempt to justify the
lowering Of the railroad assessment over
million dollars by the last republican
board Of railroad assessors, whom 1t was
supposed received good pay for the re-
duCtion made, as well as q handsome
gift to the republican campaign slush
fund. must still insist that the S722,-
854.42 was saved to the people Of Kansas,
because the stockholders Of railroads are
nearly all Eastern people, great por-
tion Of whom live Rs Far east as London,
England, | am quite glad to know that
you are acquainted with ths$l, ,460. 20 paid
to your father.in-lsw for sandwiches, etc.,
for the so-cslled Douglass house. You
seem to take great satisfaction in the
fact that a minority Of the committee
that recommended it's payment we're
Populists. Poor sstisfsCtionl But /
have heard an explanation Of how that
81, 400 20 was expended, which is as fol-
lows: THE 20 cents was paid for sand.
wiChss, the $50 for cigars and the 81 400
for whisky" Possibly you can give
some light as to the expenditure.
Your point is not well taken when you
say that the Agricultural college and
tt.e Normal school fund was not Bppro-
priRted on account Of an error by the
legislature Of 1891. There was no error
about it. That amount came over Rs q
republican deficiency bill and Of course
it augmented the Populist expenditures
just that much and lessened the repub-
licAn expenditures just that much. But
what about all those other items under
republican deficiency bills which you
failed to sxplainH
You seem to have had some inosnta.
tion Of the brain relstive to q certain
patent machine for figuring. Possibly
upon examination you might find that
It Is only q wheel In your head. At
least it appears to me that any patent
machine or even q blind man could figure
better than you have done on your first
attempt, I do not wish to discourage
you, however, for the old verse runs, "If
at frat you don't succeed try, try, RgAin." 4"
With all your explanations in regard
to state printing, you don't dare disguise
the RaCt that the state printer bill was o
Populist measure, and that it is one of
the things that helped very materially
10 thin the republican ranks in the cam.
paiRn OF 1893. The credit belongs to the
Populists, and you know it.
When you say that the secretary Of
the Peoples party state central COM
mittee 10 q "sslAried employee Of the
state" you give expression to q
"whopper" sure. When Mr.. Ssmple was
elected secretary, he Immediately re-
signed his position in the bank COM

from the state at the same time. In the
first place, Mr. Troutmsn, possibly it ia
not as lucrative position to be treas
urer Of the Populist state central COM
mittee "a the republican state central
committee. Then when you consider
that in 1891, the republicans paid for
extra clerk hire in the secretary Of
states Office S40055, and for 1892,
1896, while under Populist rule there
has not been paid one dOgIIr for ertrG clerk
hSre, possibly you are just q little bit
mistaken about me negleoting my du-
ties. Then, Mr.. TroutmRn, there were
about 900 voters Of Kansas in 1892
who said by their ballots that the Pop
ulists should look into the way repub-
licsns have been doing business in Kan
sas for the last thirty years. You sec,
then, that am right in the line Of duty
even il l use time belonging to the state,
which l do not do to the detriment Of
the Office. But, Mr.. Troutmsn, you
know We Pops are used to hard work
and we don't stop at eight hours q day,
the time required by the state, but de-
vote some Of our extra hours outside to
dig up the naughty things Of which you
and your party officials are guilty. And
then, you know these are hard times,
and il I should act on the good republi-
can advice Of Mr.. Wilder, treasurer Of
the Santa Fs, and do Sl.25 worth Of work
for so cents, I presume that you would
not object.
But, Mr.. Troutmsn, why did you not
attempt to answer the rest OF my letter.
Tell me about the other republican de-
ficiency bills amounting in ell to $l70,-
65O38.
Why did you not say sOmsth ing about
the reduction in the state tax levy by
the Populist board Of 871 ,32436?
Can't you explain further about those
sandwiches, ETC., Mr.. Troutman? Then
please correct your statement about
the unexpendsd balances in 1891, from
1915, 1885 to $17l, ,11280 as shown by
the republican state trsRsursr's report
Of 1891 90, page 10.
Then to have q correct conscience, you
should acknowledge that the 8l50,971 27
saved on state printing should be cred.
tied to the Populists instead Of trying to
claim it for the republicans. Then tell
the people that the Pops are wide awake
and progressive and that they actually
spent e3l5,50O on public works, or
nearly double that Of the republicans.
Then acknowledge that there was
S115, 70 more in the treasury, July /,
1894 than on July /, 1892, under repub.
lican rule, Notwithstanding the receipts
OF the state treasury in 1894 were not as
much as in 1892, by $256,973.15, making
an actual difference in favor of the Pop
ullsts Of s37S, 1857.
Then tell the people that the Popu-
lists expended $74,671.0S for our Worlds
fair exhibit.
You failed to explain why the repub-
liCan boards Of county commissioners Of
30 many counties remitted railroad tax
upon simple request Of the roads. You
failed to explain away that Populist
boards Of county commissioners
as o rule refused to remit railroad taxes.
You failed to acknowledge when it
was explained to you that only about

You failed to explain why the state
printing in Kansas under republican
rule cost the state more than twice tina {

You failed to explain why republican
state officials so far forgot themselves
as to have Governors Martin and Hum.
phreyIs messages printed in for
eign languages and distributed s1
republican campaign literature, and this
long after Governor Martln's term OF
office.
Then you also failed to note the fact
that the total appropriations less by the
Legislature Of 1893 (Populist) was less
than 1891 (rspublicsn) by $15,O93.47.
Now, Mr.. Troutman, please be more
specific in your next letter.
I renew my proposition to send to
any republican who will furnish me his
address, at my own expense, copy Of
stubborn Facts" which gives in detail
the items taken from the official records
whereby the Peoples party has saved
to the people Of Kansas $1,4l9,636.23.
Now, in regard to the lotteries, joints
and boodling said to exist in Kansas
City and other cities OF the first class in
Kansas, you deny that you said in sub
stance as you were quoted, and then 20
on to try to show that what you was
quoted as saying is true by giving some
things which certain persons are repre-
sented as having said, These were
opinions, or beliefs, OF | think SOS, which
were formed on account Of the shrewd
and ingenious schemes, stories and
newspaper talk started first by republi-
cans and believed by some POpulists.
And you know, as lawyer, Mr.. Trout
man, that you did not present single
particle of proof or evidence such as
would bs received in any court to es-
tRblish the charges made by republi-
cans and republican newspapers for po-
litical effect. You are evidently work.
ing on the theory that it is the duty Of
Populists to prove themselves innocent,
or else they should stand convicted,
thereby reversing the well known tenet
Of law that "Evsry man is innocent un-
der the law until proven guilty"
Now, Mr.. Troutmsn, you do mot dare
deny that any Of your prohibition friends
may make complaint to your republican
county sttorneyisor.e .eany justice OF the
peace in Kansas City or any other city
Of the first class In Kansas, il the law is
violated, and such officers are bound to
act on the complaint.
You don't dare deny that your repub.
licsn sheriff or any constable may
arrest any party against whom COM
plant is made.
Yon don't dare deny that your rspub.
lican courts can try any person 30
arrested.
You don't dare deny that lotteries,
joints and gambling houses, bRwdy
houses, and boodling, were first born,
hourished, and were foStered, under re-
publican ordinances, laws and republ-
can administrations, in the state Of
Kansas.
You don't dare deny that any fifty citi-
zsns may request your republican judge
for Q grand Jury to investigate any viola.

POISONED FARM STOCK.
YOUNG MAN ARRESTED ON A VERY
SERIOUS CHARGE.

He Confesses tn Poisoning His Fathers
Live stock-The Mysterious Death of
Valuable Horses ana Cattle Finally
Cleared Up.
LAPEER, Mich, Aug. lS.-Sherlff Nc
Arthur has arrested Martin Blow. a young
farmer of Dryden. on the charge of poi
soning farm stock. For ten years fine
stock in the vicinity of Blows home has
been hazardous investment. Sudden and
mysterious deaths of horses and cattle
were frequent and post-mortem examine
tions showed the presence of some kind of
poison. The heaviest loser has been Will
lam II. Blow, father of the young man
under arrest. Mr.. Blow is man of con-
siderable prominence among Lapeer coun-
ty farmers, being at one time president
of the Lapeer County Agricultural So
ciety.
He was formerly prosperous man, but
is now old, nearly bankrupt, and is like
ly to lose his farm through the conduct of
his son. Young Blow had often been
suspected by the neighbors, but evidence
could never be obtained which would fix
the crime on him. Six months ago he
was arrested at the instance of his father
and brother, but owing to the want of
evidence he was released. Recently two
cows belonging to Mrs. Philo Gibbs died
suddenly and it was found that death
was caused by dose Of aconite. Blows
arrest followed. He confessed his crime

ly trifling loss of some $3.50, 900, 900 to
trade in the United States as compared
with the business during the. same

that the aggregate shrinkage of business
for the corresponding period in 1894
has exceeded SO, 500, 600, 900 as COM
pared with 1898, while this years bust
ness as compared with that of the pros
porous year of 1899 shows the enormous
decrease of almost "a, 900, 900, 900.
The clearing house reports to Brad
streets during the first six months of
the present year show shrinkage of
over 50, 600, 600, 600 as compared with
the first six months of 1898, loss of 30
per cent in the oountry's business. This

According to calculations at the CEN

Great Damage Caused by Fires in the
Badger State.
GRANTsBURG, Aug 22.-The meadow
fires north of this place are by no means
extinguished. Famed by heavy wind,
the flames rolled like ocean waves, sweep
ing everything before them. Fences,
pastures, timber, and cranberry and hay
lands lay in burned and smoking mass.
Several hundred tons of hay are already
burned. The entire male population of
this city turned out and fought the
flames. An east wind blew the fire in an
unexpected direction and crossed a por-
ton of hay meadow that had been consid-
cred SAFE Aside from the destruction of
hay, however, the fire wreaks but little
damage as the meadows are moist and
prevent the flames from burning down to
the peat.
Nevertheless, hay famine is looked for
in this locality in consequence of the
meadow fires The Marshland Farming
company will be heavy losers, as they own
10000 acres of meadow in the fires path.
Flames have also broken out on the Made
man meadow, south of here, one of the
most fertile tracts in this vicinage. The
fire on this meadow will burn in the peat
under the bog for months. The wind is
down and the slow progress of the flames
permits the removal of considerable
stacked hay Every one is praying for
rain and unless it comes the probable ex-
tent of the fire cannot be estimated.
