In recent address before the Sons Of
Delaware, in Philadelphia, Mr.. B. b.
Comegys of that city said: "And when
lspeak Of statesmen, tell you that in
my time Delaware has furnished three
secretaries Of State, one Secretary Of
the treasury and one Attorney. General;
and ! say to you what | am sure Won
WIN oil heartily concur in, that no State
has ever been better represented in the
United States Senate than our own
little State OF Delaware" All of which
Is not only trnl, but very gratifying,
particularly when it is considered that
50 many larger States cannot approach
li'tle Delaware IN the brillianoy and
honor OF our political history.

The Rule Of the Populists.

The document sent out by the Bus
mess Mems League Of Denver repre-
sentlng 5000 men engaged in COM
mercial pursuits in that city-with
regard to the effects Of Populist rule
in Colorado deserves the attention Of
intelligent and patriotic citizens
everywhere. 1t asserts that $780,
100000 OF the values OF that state
have been destroyed by the impair
ment Of credit, the obstruction Of
business and the Gripping Of indus
try The selling price of property in
Denver has fallen two-thirds, and q
relative depreciation Of farm property
has ensued. Before the advent OF the
Popullsts, Colorado's borrowing
power ranked next to that Of New
York, and now she cannot borrow at
all 80 whitening has been the effect
in this respect" we are told, "that at
the present moment even q gold mine
cannot borrow 81 on rs worth Of gold
ore actually in sight with which to
extract said ore and send it to the
smeter.' Lenders would like to furn-
ish the money, but are afraid to take
the risk Of uniriendly Populist lcgis-
lation. The proverbial timidity Of
capital is fully justified by the condi-
tions which have been brought to pass
in this case. There is no assurance Of
safety for it, but a standing menace
against it, in the character OF the
state government and the sentiments
and tendencies OF the dominant party.

The Pullman ASSIGNMENT,

Governor Lewelling in his speech in
the opera house Saturday night, and
we notice he is repeating it elsewhere,
said regarding the Pullman car assess
ment concerning which the Pop ad-
ministration has been 50 severely
criticised because Of its lowering it
from, IS, 900 to 1880 car, that the
Republicans never assessed at all.
Sometimes he adds that II they did
they never collected any taxes. Gov
ernor Lewelling deliberately and pre-
meditatedly states what is not true in
SO saying.
The records Of Dickinson county
show, and County Treasurer Pattison
will exhibit them to any caller who
asks to see them, that the Pullman
Palace Car company paid taxes to
Dickinson county long before the Pop
ulists ever took state Office, The
state records show that every Pull
man car that has ever run through
Kansas has been assessed and paid the
taxes. For some years the assess
ment was made in connection with
that Of the road over which they ran.
Then the assessments were separated
and the Pullmans claimed that they
paid taxes for all their property to
the state OF Illinois. A Republican
attorney general brought suit and it
was fought in the courts and Kansas
won. The Pullman company paid 1t
then. In 1883 the assessment on the
Pullmans in Kansas was 1914, 900 and
they paid on that basis,
il the Republicans had not assessed
how could the Populists have CLOVER
ed" the valuationP
The spectacle Of the governor OF
a state going up and down deliber-
ately lying to the people as his whole
stock in trade and presuming upon
their ignorance Of the records to be
able to deceive them is calculated to
make even his most ardent supporter
look at him with disgust.

dwellings Plans.

At last for our special benefit Lowellng
has explained why he reduced the Pullman
car assessment. He said last night he could
not collect the full assessment so he reduced
II to tax he could collect, This Is
a Lewelling explanation Leavcnworth
Times.
Now we hope the fellows will quit
rawhiding Lewelling, comments the
Lawrence journal. His explanation
is clear, plain and specific. He
couldn't collect the tax. Now gentle
men, you who think that under Pop
rule you are paying too much taxes,
walk right up to the state house and
put your finger to your nose as the
Pullman company did, and tell
Lewelling to crack his whip. He will,
II he thinks as much Of you as he does
OF Count Pullman, call a meeting OF
the board and put down your taxes at
once. We trust that no Populist
farmer who intends voting for
Lcwelling will neglect this golden
opportunity to get out Of paying his
taxes Just say the taxes are too
high and you won't pay them and of
they come. There Is no state but
Kansas, and Lewelling is its gov
prnOr.
