SALIVA Republicans: The latest exhi-
bition of the spleen of Cy Leland is
against Chancellor Snow of the State uni
vsrsity. Leland seems determined to
have everybody bowling at his throne,
whether or no. Cy must know that the
political boss sooner or later runs up
against stump. If he is a careful stu
dent of the political history of this coun-
try he must have learned that to be a
boss is to sit within the crater of vol
cano, and that if he stays there long
enough ne will be destroyed by an erup-
ton. In these days bossism will not win
for any great length of time, especially
in the Republican party. Cy or any other
boss will never be able to make Republi-
cans trudge along in his wake as the
Populists have blindly followed their po-
litical bosses. In his jealous attempt to
pull down men and put his favorites in
their places, Cy will destroy himself-as
sure as fate.

league" are the most generous fellows

the interests of the people and so anxious
that they should learn the truth that they
are devoting their time and money in a
degree that is only limited by the de-
mand, to the PRONUNCIATION of sound
money" ideas among the masses. They
have a number of schemes in operation
for this purpose. One of the latest is
embodied in a circular which has reach
ed this office. 1t contains a proposition
to furnish their pamphlets, which have
now reached number IS, free of charge
to any paper that win offer them as a
premium to subscribers. Their liberality
docs not stop here. They have their
matter in the form of @plates'' for such
papers as use them, and will furnish
them in any quantity free of all expense
except express charges. This is no
doubt considered a very tempting bait
for the poor country editor The pub
Usher who uses patents" is also pro-
vided for, and he can obtain paper for
his entire edition each week with sound
money literature on one side, the other
side blank for his local news. They are
printed in any size desired and are abso-
lutely free and without price. While the
circular does not say so, it might be
added that they are without value also
judging from the sample which accom-
panies the circular. It seems unfortu-
nate that the people appear to show sc
little appreciation of what these patriots
are trying to do for them.

ROBBING THE INDIANS.
The Same Old Injustice is Being Perps-
tratsd in Alaska.

PORT TOWNSEND, Washn., June 21.-
An effort is being made to take from
tribe of Indians called the Metlakahtlas
an island in Alaska, which in 1887 was
coded to them by the United States gov
eminent The land is in southeastern
Alaska and is known as Annette island.
The natives have improved the land, erect
ed public buildings, churches, saw mills
and titled the soil A few months ago
prospectors who were going up the coast
had occasion to land on the island for a
few hours rest and one of them discov-
cred gold quartz ledge. The men i'm
mediately staked out claims and applied
to the government for mineral patents.
The Indians entered 3 protest, which
was favorably considered by the depart
ment, and the miners have since taken
an appeal, and if money and influence
can override the Indians mining opera
tons will be commenced.

"Praise Meeting" Because it Rained.
The Lake Wow club management
announces a "praise meeting" for Satur-
day afternoon and evening. The cause
of the Thanksgiving is the bounteous
rains which dampened the bottom OF the
lake and saved the fish as well as the
corn. The recent rains have caused the
water in the lake to rise at least two feet.
The drain from Baldwin's branch is
pouring fourteen inch stream of water
into the lake, and the prospects now are
that there will be an abundance of water
all season. Many of the large fish have
died during the protracted drouth,
although enough remain to furnish
excellent sport. The season has been
the very best for spawning, and the
waters are literally alive with this years
hatch. The bass, croppies and sun fish
from one to three inches in length are go
thick that they can be dipped up with
the hands and next year the fishing Will
be better than ever.

VETOED BY MAYOR DAVIS.

Kansas City Wants Sometime to Own Its
Street Car Lines.
KANSAS CITY, No, June 2L-Mayor
Webster Davis has vetoed the omnibus
franchise ordinance of the Metropolitan
Street railway company, which was put
through both houses of the council with
hot haste A few minutes thereafter he
indicted brief message to the Common
Council in which he set forth his reasons
for such action. The message follows:
Honorable Common Council: Gentle
men-I herewith return ordinance No.
6,480 without my approval, for the reason
that don't believe it wise or proper to
give away valuable franchises for any
length of time without receiving suf6-
Gent remuneration therefor in return. In
this respect said ordinance is deficient
All franchises belong to the city, and the
city and its officials should belong to the
people, and it is my opinion that said
ordinance is not in the interest of the
people. WEBSTER DAVIS, Mayor.
The grant was passed aud without dis
cussion, by both branches of the council
The ordinance gives the Consolidated
Metropolitan Street Railway company
and the Consolidated Metropolitan Street
Railway company owns practically all
the street transportation lines in Kansas
CIty-the right to occupy the streets
they now use for period of eight years
beyond the limits of their present fran
chises; in other words, practically every
street railway franchise in Kansas City
was extended until 1925, thus making
more remote the time when Kansas City
may derive revenue from the use of its
streets, as the city of Toronto does now.
The grant is worth millions of dollars
to the corporation-even its representa-
tives admit it-but the council made the
gift without requiring one penny of
compensation for the great privilege.
