Had it been a Populist who killed

Populist who, in his wild delirium,
broke his neck by falling out OF a
two-story hotel, or had got SO grog-
gy that he had deliberately backed
horse off bridge into river, the
Republicans would have had ample
campaign thunder to run them thro'
till election day. The paragraph
characteyizlng Senator Barker as the
"genial Senator" should have said
the political brute, unworthy seat
in our state senate.
Republicans have had much to
say in the past about Populists hold
ing secret meetings and controlling
voters by signs, grips and pass
words, but we do not believe it has
ever been said by our common ene-
my that Populists ever entered into
such disgracetul plot as that at
Olathe, where seventy delegates
bound themselves by agreement not
to vote for Funston. The intent of
this was, no doubt, to hold the dele
gates who might finally become dis
gusted with the dirty tactics of the
other candidates and conclude, after
becoming more fully acquainted
with them, that Funston was as
good as any in the gang. The con-
vention finally adjourned without
making a nomination, with the COM
pact still intact, to meet at Law
renee, July 10th.
Two years ago, any young man
could get a unanimous nomination
for congress without much trouble,
as the old gangs were pretty sure
that he would get scooped. This
year, it is quite different. The old
heelers think that, because of the
slight gains in the county elections
of last fall, there is a chance for an
election this fall, and they are fall
ing over themselves, backing off
bridges to get new start, walking
out of the second story windows of
hotels in their crazy Nightmares,
and killing horses in their mad rush
to get to the front.
If these fellows could read the
handwriting on the wall, all this
rush would cease in short order.
Your correspondent had the pleas
ure of reading a letter this week
from a gentleman in Eureka, Kas
which gives the names of ten prom
inent old-party voters who have
joined the Populist forces recently,
two Of whom have been campaign
ers in former years from the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties. This
is only one of hundreds of letters
Which are being received from all
parts of the state. II is now only a
question of how big our majority
will be. x j. M. p.

TOPEKA LETTER,

reader to the fact that one horse and
two men have been killed in the
great scramble for Office, and two
congressional and one county con-
vention. "a jam of vehicles occur
red on bridge across the Neosho
river, at the breaking up of the con-
vention at Oswego which nominated
Kirkpatrick for congressman from
the Third district. A man and his
team were precipitated to the water
below-a distance Of thirty feet
and the reports tell us that the man
will die. Who knows but the cause
of this calamity was an overdose OF
Republican enthusiasm, as we are
told that one of the men seized the
horse by the bits and backed it over
the bridge, resulting as above
stated.
Then, we are told in the notes OF
the Olathe convention of this re-
markable loss of life to a dumb
brute, which would seem to be a
ripe case for the investigation or
humane officers Thursday, the
day this convention first met, Sen
ator Barker, of Douglas, was de-
tanned in Lawrence to make the
closing argument in the Hill murder
case. He had also been the man
who was selected to put Senator
Howard in nomination, and as the
other speakers finished and Barker
turn drew near, the faces OF the
Howard men took on an anxious
look. Just in the nick OF time,
however, the portly form OF the
genial Senator appeared in the hall
and began to speak. He had driven
the entire distance, more than TWEEN
tv five miles. He was obliged to
drive so fast that one of his horses
died. and he had to borrow another
from Populist farmer, but he got
here"
We are also told that delegate
attending a Republican county con-
vention in the southeastern part OF
the state, short time ago, walked
out of a window in two-story no.
tel, falling to the ground and break
ing his neck. In the instance Of
Senator Barker we have a stand-up
state senator driving, poor dumb
brute to it's death to be present at
what is termed convention, but in
reality seemed to be regular mob
of politicians. Surely this is de-
plorable record TO be made so early
in the campaign. If the same fatal
tiles continue throughout the strug-
gle, the Populists have an easy
walk away, as a great number of the
Republican voters will have met
their death in the mad rush for the
spoils of office. The "more-holy-
than thou" crowd ought to take

'levying new duties on the tonnage for
the benefit of such loyal persons as
should advance money for carrying on
the campaign against the Dutch"
This enactment created the institution
and gave } the governor and COM
pany Of I Bank of England" a
peculiarly favorable charter, which has
been from time to time renewed, modi-
fed and systematized, though its orig
inal fundamental idea has never been
changed. The relation thus established
between the government and the bank
was peculiar and unique, but that it
has proved successful is evinced by it's
continued extension. The debt original
ly owed to the bank by the government
has increased in the lapse of two CEN
turtles. from $1,000, 600 to$55, 900. 00C, with
interest at "a per cent per annum. The
bank building has expanded until it
now covers the whole area between
Threadneedle street. Princes street,
Lothbury and Bartholomew lane, a
space of nearly four acres, upon which
its windowless brown stone walls, only
one story in height, rise with an aspect
of massive inpenetrability.
THE BANK THREE SEPARATE IN
SITUATIONS.
Under the general name of the Bank
Of England have been grouped ever
since its start, three separate institu-
tons, each of which has been complete
IN itself and distinct in its operations,
from any other since the passage of the
act Of 1914. These are, first, THE Ma
tiona1 Debt department. which occu-
pies the Bartholomew lane side and
conducts the issue of all government
loans &nd the payment of dividends on
its own stock on national bonds and
other securities controlled by the bank
The second is the tissue department, Z"
occupying the center of the Threadnee-
die side, and having for its scope the
issue of bank notes. their printing, can
collation. and redemption, and the num-
berleSs transactions in the issue and re-
ceint of the gold coin and bullion by
which the note issue is mainly guaran-
teed. The third is the Government and
General Banking department" ON the

through orders issued upon it and
paid over its counters. The second
branch, the private drawing office, is
devoted entirely to private accounts
ANY person properly introduced to the
chief cashier may open an account
here, though the business which he Of
fers must, in the opinion of the cash
Ter. be a remunerative one.
All the London banks have drawing
accounts at the Bank of England,
which is essentially the Bankers bank.
A special room is reserved for the
drawing bankers, and here the vast
daily exchanges of the London banks
are conducted as a, valuable aid to the
clearing house. The number of pri-
vate accounts in the private drawing
office is about 5000, and the average
OF deposits is about EOS, 10000 CS140, 000,
0OO).
THE NATIONAL DEBT DEPART
MENT.
The national debt department occu-
pies the Bartholomew lane side, and
under its popular title of the dividend
room is well known to the 100000 hold
ers OF stock in the bank and the 214,000
owners of national securities, who now
exchange coupons there for notes or
coin. This department, occupying ten
rooms pays twice a year the interest
on 1855 600 $4,000, 600, 0OO) of govern
ment bonds, and at other periods the in
terest on the foreign securities held by
the bank, all of a public or semi-public
character. The most interesting room
in this department is the stock office Ii
brary. Here are stored in almost limit
less number all the stock Iedgers, trans
fer books, dividend books, power of at
torney cases and other volumes and
documents which have accumulated in
the past 200 years. There are about
$4,000 of these in all. so Systematically
arranged that reference can be made
to any one of them in a very short time
The most remarkable feature about
them is their excellent state of preserv-
alton, and by means of them the whole
of any government loan can be traced
from its present possessors to the orig
inal holders, the title of any holder at
any period being thus clearly estab-
lished. The staff in this department
numbers IT'S men, and 100 books are
in constant use. H. J. w. DAM

niversary of its birth. For two CEN
turtles it has been, as it is today, the
greatest bank in the world. 1t began
business on the 9th of July, 1884, in a
small edifice occupying the centre of
the Threadneedle street side of the
present structure, with capital of &c.

to the government by a group of city
merchants to meet the pressing necessi-
ties of King William. In return for
this loan. Parliament passed an act

of this kind appeared in 1853. A young

for. the laboring man. Faugh! The late
strike has proven that Debs has the same
use for his fellow men, as a mountebanl<
dance at his bidding and pull the shekeis
into his treasury.
Debs' action was little less than
crime. He might have known that a
peaceful walkout of the men would have
had no effect-there are too many thou
sands in the ranks of the unemployed. He
might have, known that a resort to the
properly was, by the strong arm of the
government 1 believe that he knew he
could not win. L believe the whole devil
ISL scheme was ooncocted with the idea
of booming Debs-a selfish movement
purely.
The strike was wrong in principle. 1t
was un-American. 1t was anarchistic in
its methods 1t was conceived in sin and
born in iniquity.
And yet it developed some curious
phases. [ have often wondered whether
those men, who, when called upon to dis
perse IN the name of the president of the
United states government and responded

States, native born or naturaIized iii' or
whether they belonged to the foreign
class that seems to come to the surface
whenever there is any strife stirred IN.
1t is painful to think that this express
sion might have emanated from men who
nave acquired the right to cast a bal
lot; and 1t is equally as painful to know
that II 1t came from foreigners there
wasn't enough American manhood IN the
MOB to have choked the utterances back

tered themi
That there were thousands of good men
drawn into the strike unwillingly, there
can not be the slightest doubt; and as a
matter of fact I believe this statement
applies with special force to Utah and
Wyoming and Idaho. Hundreds of these,
however, must suffer for their acts; hum
dreds are now walking the streets, while
men of less ability are in their places;
hundreds must come very close to the
starvation line unless the unexpected
happens.
For these only the deepest sympathy
cumstances, and the lesson, while a Sc
we're one, may not be without its good
results.
AS for Debs, every honest workingman;
every true American; every man who is
not an anarchist, pure and simple; every
soul who has the slightest regard for
law and order and the rights of his fell
low man, should shun the fellow as he
would a rattlesnaRe; avoid him as one
would a leper
