It really looks as though Taylor,

been captured. When the Pinkerton's

quit and come home. Had they been
engaged Immediately Taylor would
never have gotten outside the United
States. The report of his capture,
published elsewhere, indicates that it
was probably Taylor who was captured
at Memphis soon after he skipped, but
he had more money than the state of

stay there long. With Taylor sat

reports may not prove SO interesting

Our readers will remember that we
gave an account of the disgraceful
tearing down of flag and pole the
night of the republican blowout at La
Crosse, shortly after the election. 1t
turns out that the guilty parties were
located but the republican county at
torney refuses to prosecute. The fol-
lowing clipping gives the latest account
as developed. The Englishman, Gal
Ion, is nowhere as compared with re-
puDlicans of Barton county when it
comes to insulting patriotic Americans
Last fall after the republicans of
Rush county had ascertained that Jerry
Simpson and the populist state ticket
were defeated they set night on which
to celebrate, which they were entitled
to do in respectable manner.
Sometime during the campaign the
populists of the county raised hand
some campaign pole, placing the stars
and stripes and political banner up.
on it.
On the night of the jamboree repub-
lIcans (whO were in that county like
they were in Pawnee-howling over
a victory won by members of the party
in other counties) cut down the popu-
list campaign pole and chopped it into
pieces and took the banner and the
stars and stripes and threw them into
pIivy vault!
The populists laid low, but kept work
ing on the matter until here recently
they found out who were the parties
guilty OF the outrage.
After having discovered who they
were they proceeded to prosecute.
Col. G. Polk Cline, the eminent
counsel of this city, was engaged to
assist the county attorney, a republi
can, to prosecute. Mr.. Cline, at the
request of the populIsts of Rush coun-
ty, went over to La Crosse last week
and met with them. On his advice a
committee was sent to wait on the
county attorney and see what he would
do in the matter.
Judge the surprise of everyone when
the committee was informed by this
republican county attorney that he

KANSAS never had public official
whose discharge of public duty has
been more satisfactory than that of
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal. We
hazard nothing in saving that this is
the opinion of 80 per cent of the legiti-
mate banks and bankers of Kansas
with whom he has been brought in
contact by his official duties. The SUI
preme court has decided that his term
OF office has not yet expired. The re-
port was in the press dispatches in
Wednesdays papers that Mr.. Secretary
Bristow had given to newspaper man
the story that some political scheme of
partisan investigation had been devils
ed by which Mr.. Breidenthal was to be
ousted upon the verdict of a commit
tee. We do not FOR moment believe
that Governor Morrill, would stoop to
such objectionable folly, nor do we be-
lieve that Secretary Bristow was guilty
of giving such 6. report to a newspaper
correspondent. If he did, Mr.. Bristow
talks altogether too much With his
mouth. The report was probably a
dull-day story printed as a sensation
calculated to embarrass the admins
tration. The spoils-seekers ought TO
understand that in the campaign next
year, the people who do their own
thinking are going to ask, Was the
man removed tor Incompetency or mis-
conduct, or was the judgment of the
supreme court set aside to make room
for a hungry partisan?"-Atchison

THERE are few people in this part
of the country who have ever doubte d
the truth of the statement that the
restitution among the settlers of Okla
homa and western Kansas has reached
immense dimensions. The following
is clipped from the Kiowa Review and
republished as an item of news disclos-
ing the plain facts as they exist. And
what applies to that locality is true of
other sections. we are met with a
condition and artful theorizing and
made-to- order denials by the Associated
Press will never produce remedy:
From time to time farmers living in
Oklahoma come to KiOwa asking aid
The report given by these gentlemen
seeking aid is truly pitiful III the ex-
treme and if the half IS true as told
they are entitled to speedy assistance.
Right on the heels of these aid seekers
our people read kilograms in eastern
dailles denying all knowledge of any
restitution. Men who send out these
reports know they are lying when they
do 1T, and by sending such stuff badly
cripple those asking help. If the coun-
ty is able to care for their worthy poor
why do they not do 1t? 1t is no dis
grace to ask help when industrious
people are placed in position where
they cannot help themselves. A
little more assistance to those who alb
solutely need it from parties who like
TO write for the newspapers would
prove OF greater benefit to the unfor-
tunata poor ana in the eud accomplish
greater results for all concerned
