Fact and Fiction,

Burglars recently broke into a jewel
ry store in New York and stole among
other things a gold snufbox that once
belonged to Queen Isabella of Spain.
The newspapers seriously announced
that the snuffbox was given to Queen
Isabella by King Ferdinand in 1869.
The longer we live the more we unlearn.
We imagined that tobacco had some
thing to do with snuff, and, as school
boys were taught. that tobacco was not
known in Europe till many years after
Ferdinand presented this snuffbox to
his queen.-Jewelers' Circular.

THE KANSAS BOMB.

The following editorial appeared in
the Kansas City Times on Monday fol-
lowing the publication of Justice AL
lens letter:
The publication of private letter
written by Hon. III. s. Allen, Justice of
the supreme court of Kansas, and ad-
dressed to Lieut.-GOv. Daniels, in which
some animadverSionS are cast on Gov.
Lewelling, will no doubt materially af-
feet the canvass in that state. Not
withstanding the direct accusations of
venality against the governor from so
distinguished and respectable source,
he is the candidate of his party for re-
election. Self respecting members of
the party will be obliged to either vote
against Lewelling or cast an aSpersion
on the veracity of Judge Allen. This
is choice from which there is no es-
cape.
The accusations of Judge Allen are
that 1.-The administration of affairs in
some, if not all the cities of the first
class is thoroughly corrupt, and that to
the knowledge of at least the governor"
This is bad enough, but the judicial ac-
cuser adds that circumstances indicate
that the condition of affairs referred to
meet with the governors sanction. If
that be true, how can the law-abiding
citizen of Kansas continue this condi-
ton of affairs by re-electing the man
who gives them sanction? To assume
that there is even a probability of that
is to reflect on the integrity of the en-
tire populist party of the state.
1t must be admitted that there is
foundation for this imputation against
Gov. dwellings, official integrity. 1T
is an open secret that the prohibition
law has not been enforced in the larger
Cities" Judge Allen continues. He
might have added that it is a notorious
fact that the violators of the law have
purchased immunity from the authori-
ties and that the lottery sharks, the
crap shooters and tin-horn gamblers of
every description are paying to the
populist campaign fund in considera-
ton of license to pursue their infa-
nous occupations.

THE CHOLERA STEAL.

The appropriation of $4,000 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 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 it might be used for po-
litical purposes or that it might be
pilfered from the state treasury and
put in the pockets of the popu1ist of
fcials.
DIR. bikes, the president of the state
board of health, who strenuously urged
the appropriation of this money, says
it 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:
1. That Chase did wilfu1ly and know
ingly take from the appropriation for
boarding moneys, at three different
times, sums aggregating $535.45, 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, 1898, 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.
5. That Chase appointed woman of
i'll repute to the position of assistant
matron.
6. That he, at divers times used
threatening and abusive language, -un-
becoming a gentleman, in his attempts
to coerce the chief clerk.
Mr.. Bum, the ex-mine superinten
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's 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 a legislative commit
tee came from leading populists in all
sections of the state. John w. Breiden-
thai went before Gov. Lewel1ing 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 mere pre-
tense ordered the board of penitentiary
directors to meet at Lansing and in
vestigate the charges That meeting
was held AMI the disgraceful pro-
ceedings which took place have
gone to the people. 1t coald more

eve declared that we were in favor
of reducing the salaries of officials so
that their compensation would be no
greater than that of men in industrial
pursuits, and what is the result? The
populist senate, at its last session,
passed bill reducing the salaries of
the four janitors in the state house SO
per month, while Mr.. Breidenthal had
the appropriations for his Office increased
from SIS. 300 to $4,000.
1--WE declared in favor of economy in
the discharge of public business, and
our state senate, at its last regular ses-
sion, had 1873 employees to wait on and
care for forty senators, and within the
last week the executive council has
appropriated SIS, 900 to keep cholera out
of Kansas, when there is not single
case of cholera on this continent nor
in any of the adjacent countries.
Indeed, so outrageous and prepos-
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 it 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
popul1st party. What, then, shall we
do? AS for me, publicly state that I
can no longer affiliate with the populist
party and maintain my self-respect.
1 can never support the demo
cratic party because do not believe
in its principles. I shall, therefore, go
back to my old party, the republican
party. The republican party has a
matchless history. 1t has given our
nation its greatest reforms and its
greatest statesmen. The defeats which
it has suffered the last four years in
our state have brought it to realiza-
ton of the necessities of purity in its
methods and taught it that if it ex-
poets the support of the masses it must
be the champion of purity and reform.
tWhile the republican party is more
conservative than l am on financial
matters, yet believe that through If
we can secure financial reforms. The
public utterances of its national lead
ers lead me to this belief. AS one Oh
the old republicans who went into the
populist party in 1890 hoping for relief,
1 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
believing that if it is successful it will
listen to the voice of the people and
give them the justice and equity which
they demand. B. FL. CLOVER"

Appeals to the People for Money for This
PurpOse-Has Already Spent Four
Thousand Dollars and Needs

The populist party, which was to be
a party of political purity and an ene-
my of the spoil system, has forgotten
its original profession as the following
letter which was sent out by John
w. Breidenthal, Chairman Populist
State Central Committee" indicates.
Notwithstanding the contributions of
the state officers and employees of the
state institution and that of the lot
teries and joints of Kansas City, Topeka
and other cities as shown by the affida-
Wits which appear in the public press,
Mr.. Breidenthal is now appealing to
the people in letter dated July 20 as
follows:
I'm order to keepup the campaign in
the lines mapped out by the committee
we must have more funds. The COM
mittee has already expended over S4,-
OO0 90, most of which has been contrib
uted by the state officers and employees.
We now issue an appeal to our friends
and desire to find one thousand popu-
lists who will contribute $500 each.
VIII you not be one of this number? If
SO send your remittance at once.
The people in the western part Of
the state are unable to contribute any
der to elect members of the legisla ture
in that section, the campaign expenses
must be paid by the state committee.

I'm order that this letter may not
fall into the hands of the enemy, please
write your reply on the back of this
sheet and return same to me.
John w. BREIDENTHAL,
Chairman State Central Committee
Mr.. Briedenthal proposes to pay the
expenses of the election of the members
of the legislature in the western coun-
ties. This special interest is oubtless
because he is candidate for the United
States senate and populist like he
wants to make sure of his own job and
therefore seeks to elect members of
the legislature who will favor him for
the United State senate.
1t will also be observed that he is
very anxious that this letter should
not fall into the hands of the enemy
and that none of them should be circu-
lated even among the populist breth-
rem because it might interfere with his
ambitions, so he asks that
the reply be written on the back of the
letter and to be returned to him.

SINGING RESOLUTIONS.
A Mass Convention Of the POpuIists OF
Topeka, DenOunce LeweHing and Ask
That His Name Be Taken Off the
Ticket and Reputable Man Substi-
tuted in His Place.

On Monday evening following the
publication of Justice Aliens sensa-
tional letter in the Sunday papers, a
mass convention of populists was held
at the courthouse in the city of Topeka.
After speeches by a number of the pop
ulists present, the following resolu-
lions were unanimously adopted:
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, 1t is well known that the
police departments of the cities of the
first-class, under the direct control of
Gov. Lewelling, are organized to pro-
tect and encourage saloons, joints,
dives and houses of prostitution, and
it is also believed by the residents of
said cities that such encouragement
is given in order that those in author
ity may levy tribute upon those in
charge of such dives and brothels for
their own personal gain, in absolute
disregard of the laws of the state and
public decency and morality. and again
as an evidence of such general belief
we cite the letter of Associate Justice
Allen to Lieut.. Gov. Daniels; therefore,
be it
Resolved, BY the populists of Shaw
nee county, in mass meeting assem-
bled, that we demand that the popu-
list state central committee be called
together and that said committee take
l.. d. Lewelling off of said ticket, and
that they substitute in his place some
reputable man as the candidate of the
peoples party forgovernor. Be it fur
Their
Resolved, That the chairman and
secretary of this meeting mail a copy
of this resolution to each member of
the state central committee.

Sheer Boom VIII he Built.

Supt. Lillibridge, OF the hir h
bridge at Muscatine, states that the
sheer boom will be built this year.
This will be done in accordance with
the order Of the government authori-
ties in charge of river affairs. The
plans and specifications for the boom
have been in possession of the COM
Pany for some months, and work
will be commenced Immediately af-
ter the June rise, when the stage of
water will doubtless be most favora-
BILE for uninterrupted operations.
The work will be done under the
direction of Supt. Lillibridge, who
became more than a little CONVEX
SAINT with river constructions during
the period Of the building of the high
bridge, when he was a constant OBJ
server Of the method and progress of
the work. The boom will probably
he completed during the middle or
latter part of the summer. and will
cost about s., 200. This will be well
come news to steamboat pilots, who
have clamored loudly and upceas-
ingly for the boom ever since the
bridge was built, and number OF
whom have had their patience sorelv
tried by breaking log tows on the
bridge piers, and which accidents
will be averted by the presence of Q
boom.
