Tho Caller sums up the work done
by the Corpus Christi term of dis

AT the commencement Of the pres

the last term 80 new cases were filed.

of cases on the docket % were final

the other cases is were continued
by consent, II for service, S to make
new parties, % by operation of law,

posed of to date.
When the criminal docket was
taken up on the Sd week of court,
there were 63 cases pending. From
last term, II; indictments found by
grand jury, &c; change of venue
from other counties during term. 81.
During the term there were ID trials

quIttals. and eleven cases dismissed.
Of the 20 cases brought here on

Redeemer Ben Glover.

Old Ben insists on being noticed.
OF course most men prefer to have
their good qualities attract attention.
Ben does, too, but he is lacking In that

reputation on his merit but as he didn't
have any the reputation didn't come.
He got reputation, however, In an

yer bill had passed the senate and the
vote was a tie in the house. Clover
failed to respond to his name. He was
afterward found to be taking refresh.

the cloak room. This was his long
looked-for opportunity. He got plenty
Of advertising out of 1t. So much, ln
fact, that jeff Hudson stepped into bis
shoes after the next election. After
that Ben became q redeemer. When
Kansas was redeemed last fell Ben
brought his sleepy face to town and
managed to get an insignificant job 90
farmer at the reform school. He Is
supposed to drive team back and
forth from the school to town and per-
form other similar duties which he wsa
probably fitted for. But Ben didn't get
much attention in this job. He must
do something to be noticed. A happy
thought dawned on his sluggish mind.
He would work the sleeping racket.
SO last Tuesday evening he came to
town with the reform school wagon
and while waiting on Kansas avenue
for some parties to return he spread
himself out on the seat Of the wagon
and went to sleep. His troubled brow
wore a peaceful expression. He was
doubtless conscious Of the fact that hiS
name wonld again reach the public and
he was happy. Some Of the bystand-
erS said that his snoring apparatus was
little out Of tune, but little thing
like that don't matter. The sleep was
probably as refreshing as the other one,
but hardly as profitable.

cure all the great ills Of government.

affirm only one principle will not dare
to announce new one. Let us have

itself, there remains absolutely no ex-

her speech was a good one, 1t is to be

of the nature of her remarks. Her re-

LABOR DAY SPEECHES.
Extracts From the Three OratlOns Of the
Day in Topeka.

The speeches made by John J. In
gals and J. R. Burton in the after.
noon were well attended and received
good attention. In taking extracts
srom the remarks of each speaker oul
effort has been to reproduce the very
best that each speaker said. Mr.. In
gals spoke first and received very lib
eral applause throughout his entire
speech. He said:
"There have been men during the
past few months, ladies and gentle.
men, who have had the hsrdihood and
temerity to find fault with the congress
of the United States. Laughter
If there q congress inadequate, In
competent, insincere, hostile to the
best interests of this country, it was
not the fault of the congress SO much
as it was Of the constituencies that
sent them there. l have heard it said
that in that lower house of congress
there were political freaks who would
have been ornamental in the recesssl
Of a dime museum. All / have to say
upon that subject Is that If there were
freaks in that body, they were there
because the best men in every district
permitted the freaks to send them
there. There are those that very often
have declared that in that great tri-
bunal there were "sugar" senators;
that there were men who, like Judas
Iscariot, had betrayed their sacred
cause of liberty which they were sent
to represent, for thirty pieces of silver.
If thsre be any Of that body who has
been contaminated and tarnished by
the breath of suspicion; If there be in
that great tribunal any man whose ere.
dentials rest upon his bank account
and who is there because Of his contri
buttons to the campaign funds, it Ii
not 80 much his fault as it is the fault
of the state that sent him there.
"If you want arbitration you can get
it; If you want shorter hours of labor
you can secure them. If there Is in
your condition anything detrimental
to your welfare and your interests,
every two years comes the time when
labUring men in this country, if they
are united, can enforce absolutely their
will and register their decree.
"If l could get the ear of our friend
Mckinley, or of Thomas Bracket
Reed, or of William B. Allison, or that
other eminent statesmen, Benjamin
Harrison-if / ould get the ear of any
Of those gentlemen l should like to ask
them what is the use of talking about
protecting American labor classes -and
why not protect the American laborer
as wellp What is the use Of laying a
tax upon the fabric and product, and
having free trade in men ?"
Burton's effort was q labored one
and indicated long, careful prepara-
tion. His bearing and gesticulation in
dicated that he still sdheres to his
studied orstorical style. He said
among other things that:
"Cspital should never be used ex'
cept in the interest Of labor. And la.
Dor should never be employed except
to produce capital. There should be
no conflict between capital and labor.
They should be as twin brothers, OF

JOHN HENRY IN sANPErE.
He Has Taken Up the Trfbune's
Line Of Argument.

MORONI, Oct. 23-Cockran, of Man
IT, and John Henry Smith held good
meeting last night. Cochran said this
church and state matter was simply an
interference against the church, a
threat OF Judge Powers to overthrow
statehood unless the Democratic ticket
is elected John Henry Smith said
Judge Powers is snorting around over
church influence. but the church has
none and uses no influence in politics.
The two speakers touched on tariff and
silver.

that Democrats never die, but Liberals
