Our August record 100000. We
think this is little extra, especially
when we learn that some OF our most
prominent and popular companies
which have had only smooth sailing
fell 80 per cent short in August. C..

John O'Neil of Port Lavaca merits
the praise for the best personal bus
mess, having written $4,000, which
entities him to the premium for the
month. Gentlemen, one and all of
you. you certainly have my warmest
congratulations and the congratula-
lions of our officers for your courage
and most excellent work. Our enc
mics, through jealousy, fear and self
aggrandizement, have been bhsily
engaged in giving Us all the dirt
possible. We will have TO allow
them to throw some mud. a. this is
their only weapon. 1t i only reces-
sary for us to use cold and official
facts, which is far better. They have
resorted to all kinds OF unfair tactics
yet there efforts have been in VAIN;
IS if usual when such unfair means
is resorted to break down Justice and
honesty. While our country is Hood

stuff as c. G.. Hagers, Jr., and others
of his kind are peGdling among our
agents for livelihood,) get in all
this stuff YOU do not find one single
official document or one that they

still After the Printers.

A decision Of the supreme court made
last Saturday reduces she fees Of all
newspaper printing done FOR the state
to so cents per square, just half Of the
usual legal rate, except the supreme
court syllRbi printing OF the official pa
per, which is reduced TO 25 cents per
square,
Once the statutes provided that the
state printer should designate a paper
printed in Topeka to publish certain
kinds Of matter at the above rates. As
tho state printer was getting good prices
for job printing, and as Topeka papers
we're ell small affairs at that time, the
rates were considered fair. Later bill
was passed providing for the election Of
the official state paper by the executive
council, the fees TO be paid "at the rate
prescribed by law" This was construed
by Attorney General D avis TO mean that
the old printers fee law should apply
az it was not reasonable that state
printers' fees should apply in 9 matter
with which the state printer had moth
ing to do. Secretary OF State Edwards
and Attorney General Dawes thought
otherwise, however, and they we're sua-
tanned by the court in the friendly suit
brought by the Kansas Breeze company
against the secretary OF state to test the
law.
The printer and newspaper man seems
TO bs the legitimate prey Of every jack
leg statesman who wants TO distinguish
himself by cutting down state expenses
Every session Of the legislature brings
forth q dozen or two members who seem
to labor under the dslusiOn that the
state and county publishers are getting
too rich, and they propose some measure
to save q few hundred dollars in print
ers' fees, while they overlook chances to
save many thousands in other ways,
1t is true, that newspapers can be
found to do the printing at these re-
ducsd rates. So can there bs found
plenty Of men who would take the places
OF the secretary Of state and his small,
souled assistant at halt the salary. Hun

and was followed by Mr.. Webster, Of
Fort Scott, who was more severe than
Rsv. Hammond. Rev. Pssrse Pinch, Of
EmporiR, assisted IN the defense. This
dissension came about over the discus
sion Of the following extra resolution,
which was adopted:
Resolved, That We dsplOre the delay in
enforcing the prohibitory law in the cities
of the first class. We rejoice that Gov
ernOr Morrill, has at last taken stops toward
the enforcement Of the law in these cities,
and trust ne may follow up this course With
suCh vigor and persistenoy as TO remove all
occasion for further criticism.
At the evening session, Rev. Randall,
Of LssVsnworth, and RsV. DON Colt, of
Wichita, criticised Morrllrs Rdministra'
tiOn, and by the time they were through
''locAl sentiment" in the convention was
largely their way. The State Journal
gives the more torcible part Of Rev. Ran.
dsIps talk as follows:
"TWo hundred and sixty government
stamps TO sell liquor are held in LsaV.

are running there to-day. You can

it that would suit even the fastidiOua
taste OF some OF the men who visit
Leavenworth Rtltimes. Laughter.
"Ths second room from the police
station is saloon and I am told the
building it occupies is owned and rented
by the city. There are three or four
disoHderly houses in the same block Rg

loon just across the street. The senti-
ment in Lssvenworth is in favor Of open
saloons. We are peculiarly constituted

Bis Demand for Thurston's Recall

SAN FRANCISCO. May s.-Hawaiian
advices received to-day from Honolulu

as follows:
The letter demanding the recall Of

to the executive session Of the Council
yesterday afternoon. This letter had
been to Hong Kong. 1t went past Homo

The sole offense alleged is that Thurs

mated In strong terms that Cleveland
and Gresham were largely responsible
for the January uprising here.
Gresham spoke to the Hawaiian Min
lister about the matter. Tnurston said
that he regretted 1t very much. that in
the hurry Of t handling The his mail he
| out any special intent. In short, he
apologized. Secretary Gresham there
upon asked that the apology be sub
mitted in writing. Thurston declined to
do this.
Greshams letter is dated Feb 2, and
in strong language stated that Thurs

Hawaiian Minister. 1t is definiIe.y set.
ted that Thurston win not return tc
Washington. He has resigned his office

that there should be no playing to thu

Frank Hastings. who is at present i

SOLD OUT SEIZED TRUCKS.
Col. wnring md His wife Attend
the Auction Sale.

The Corporation Yard No. I. Of Fifth
District, at the foot OF West Fifty-sixth
street. was the scene of a noisy gather
ing to-day. at an auction sale of 100
seized by order OF STRENGTHENING Com
missioner Waring. The sale was under
the supervision Of Deputy Commits
sioner Moore and J. H. BUSHNELL. and
was conducted by Auctioneer James
McCauley. The competition In bidding
was close and many of the heavy double
trucks realized as much as $50.
Push carts were disposed OF for sums
varying from 25' cents to 81. while sin
gle trucks were sold a from 81 to $40.
In one corner of the yard stood dis
gruntled crowd Of pushcart yenders,
nounced Col. Waring In unstinted terms
and II was not until he drove into the
yard in his new cab, accompanied by
Mrs. Waring that denunciations as
sumed the form OF anathemas. These,
however, did not reach the ears Of the
Street Cleaning Commissioner, and he
looked complacently on.
William b. Strong said the sale would
net a total OF 81 500.
Purchasers took everything good
naturedly and few bogus bids were Of
fered. The success of the sale will tend
to act as a stimulus to officers Of the
Bureau of Membranes, and II Is an
ticipatei the streets Of the city will be
rid Of trucks very soon.

asking for choice seats to go to the
hotels for them.

HAVANA, May 9.-The correspondent
Of the Associated Press here has made
inquiries in official circles regarding the
report that Captain-General Martinez
Campos has reached a settlement with
the rebel leaders. and that the insur-
rection is practically over. As a result
OF these inquiries, the statement is
made that the Captain-General has not
reached a settlement with the rebels,
and that he will not do so.
He will depend upon force Of arms to
put down the rebellion and restore peace
to Cuba.
MADRID, May 9 (Noon).-The Govern
ment has received no news which would
tend TO confirm the report that De
Campos has arrived at settlement with
the rebel leaders.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Official in

the Spanish authorities no longer regard
the Cuban uprising as serious affair
IL Is not considered that the trouble II
actually closed, but the authorities are
satisfied that the revolt has ceased to
have the menacing aspect of few weeks
