COxEY TO STEWART.
The Good Roads Crank Criticfses the
Senator's Letter.


CANTON. o.. March 26.-Before leaving
here Mr.. Coxey gave out the following an
swer TO Senator Stewart:
'sI have seen your letter, addressed Cen
Coxey. Allow me TO inform you that am
not a general. / am simply president OF the
J: $. Coxey Good Roads ASSOCIATION OF the
monweal of Christ. L am not heading an
army, no matter how much subsidized
press, at the dictation of the money power,
tries to make this apparent, and all the
epithetS hurled at us as being Anarchists
or mob get more weight from ill-adVised
admissions by our friends than an else pc
against gold and bonds, under your leader
ship in the United States Senate, was mag
nificent. Morning dispatches state that even
the President of the United States is en-
gagged in deal with Wall street to veto the
Bland seigniorage bill in the sole interest of
gold. So the die is cast; we shall march
out .peaceably and depend upon the out
growing of a peaceful public to defend us
from Pinkertons, either as policemen, mill
tiamen, United States soldiers or petty
party politicians. This is a nom
partisan movement, and he who
is not with US is against us
and a house divided against itself cannot
stand, is as true to-day as when originally
uttered and used in the dark days of the
of the legal tender. Following in his foot
steps, we seek to dethrone gold, as our fore
fathers did King; George, in 1776. and once
would be circulated if the two Coxey bills
are passed. Now, have followed your
leadership, advocating the bill for the un-
limited coinage of silver as money, and If
we are to judge of the silver men by you,
looked upon as you are, as their mouth
piece, your attitude in describing this move
ment as folly places you and the silver men
you represent in the unenviable position as
the ally of our common enemy-gold. Thus
the rubcon has been crossed by the silver
forces and we cannot Afalter. The fiat must
go forth now; characterization Of gold as
well as silver"
Chief Marshal Browne to-day. in behalf
of General CoXey, replied to Senator
Stewards letter of yesterday. He says:
'The rich silver mine owners are inter
ested in the people only to set up a silver
throne instead of a gold one. For years
we have been trying to get the people to
rally at the polls and wipe out the evils
you portray, but have failed, and after the
ides of November we would still be in the
same fix, because political boodleism and
the money power control the polls and
count us out. Hence we exercise our last
resort. We come to bring peace. not war"

Just Like Gaines.

State Superintendent Gaines has been
notified that he was awardeda medal from the
Worlds Fair for his exhibit OF institute
work for the training Of school teachers.
Mr.. Gaines ought to be proud Of such Il
recognition [Topeka Advocate, Pop.
That's just like Gaines. He has
about as much claim on the medal as
the man in the moon. 1t was given
to the state superintendent office.
Gaines did not get up the exhibit.
He knows mighty little about insti-
tute work. He has been tried in this
county and was one Of the weakest
instructors the county ever had.
Then here is an honor coming to the
real teachers of Kansas and Gaines
jumps up and grabs it and publishes
the news that 1t is great "recogni-
tom of "his exhibit" 1t may be he
wrote in to the committee and got his
name put on the medal-if SO, it was
again just like Blowhard Gaines.

A most aggravating libel on Gov
ernor Lewelling was started by some
excitable correspondent early in the
week. 1t was reported that he had
ordered the closing Of the gambling
dens and joints in the large cities Of
the State where the metropolitan
police, the governors appointees, are
in power. He at once denied 1t and
the papers are doing their best to
correct the unfounded impression
that Lewclling intended to enforce the
laws. Such reckless statements can
not be too severely criticized. It is
never safe to accuse Populist State
official Of doing his duty without the
best OF evidence and judging from
dwellings hasty denial Of this latest
rumor he feels much ashamed Of be-
accused OF carrying out the laws he
took an oath to enforce.

That Asylum Baby.

The Monitor grows very indignant
over the REFLEcroR's criticism Of the
incompetent and careless insane
asylum management which allows
unguarded mingling Of the sexes with
the result that children ARE. ::born Of
insane parents in the institution and
says; al there is blame attached to
anyone, it is to the Republicans Of the
State, under whose administration
the act was done that led up to this
birth"
Not quite SO fast, Mr.. Monitor. DR..
Eastman was superintendent Of the
asylum when these insane creatures
met each other, but the reform"
board of charities had virtually taken
the management Of the institution
out Of his hands and had already APP
pointed Miss Matte Jackman Of
Kingman as housekeeper.
1t appears to be directly due. to
Miss Jackman's lack Of knowledge or
carelessness that the unfortunate
affair occurred. Several years ago
DR.. Eastman had some trouble in
keeping the men and women who
worked in the kitchen out Of mischief
and he appointed Miss Laura Wooden,
an elderly woman Of sharp eyes and
great executive ability, as house
keeper to straighten out matters in
the kitchen. Miss Wooden did her
work well and as one Of the employees
expressed it, "There was no monkey
ing under her administration"
One of the first acts OF the reform"
state board Of charities was to depose
Miss Wooden from her position as
housekeeper and appoint to that posi-
ton Miss Matte Jackman of King
man, a friend Of W. l.. Brown, secre-
tary Of the state senate, who secured
her appointment. She took charge
OF the kitchen June l, 1898.
Miss Jackman resigned her position
as housekeepcr this spring and was
married to DR.. Cloud one Of the
physicians in the institution.
As the Topeka State Journal, which
has thoroughly investigated the mat
ter, says; 1.-THE birth Of the child is
directly traceable to the stupidity of
the present management of the
charitable institutions Of the State
The state board has been so busy
getting jobs for inexperienced people
and turning out experienced ones,
that it overlooked the fact that taking
care of crazy people is business not
to be learned in week or year"
