TIE populist convention to nominate
q candidate tor chief justice will be
held in Topeka on or about September
/. Just what the action of the conven-
ton will be is something difficult to
foretell. Some are advocating the
nomination of Judge Martin while
others prefer to leave the matter pass
without nominating a candidate. AS to
the nomination Of Judge Martin, we
think 1T would be very unwise step
for the populists TO take, for several
reasons. FIRST, he is republican and
no popullst should contribute towards
building up the enemy 8 ranks by help
lug to elect republican officials. Second,
he is, or has been prior to his late ap-
pointment on the bench, railroad cor
poration attorney and no true populist
can afford to vote for such man for
the highest judicial position in the
state. True, Matin is a free silver man
and not the corrupt man his predeces-
sor was, but yet he calls himself a re-
publican and as long as he is unwilling
TO leave the old party no pOpulist should
favor him with his suffrage.

In England 10000 velocipedes are
turned out annually. In Coventry 49,
600 workmen ore employed in the bust
ness. In France, where the machine
first appeared, its use was limited
through prejudice; people laughed at
it. Now there is an army of 500, 600
proprietary wheelmen in that country,
without counting the immense number
Of amateurs who hire machines. In
1892 the Paris police authorities issued
IL, 900 licenses to wheelmen; now the

AN INCIDENT RRI1oN.

His On-Hand Manner OF Disposing OF
Rebels.
a correspondent, writing Of the late
Lord Strathnairn, says he was the most
tndolent, lackadaisical, langufd person
who ever dawdled along Piccadilly.
When he was devastating central India,
winning the splendid victories that inn
mortalized his name, he was so lazy
that he could not be got to dictate the
dispatches recording his own triumphs,
says the Sheffield (Englan0 Telegraph.
Months elapsed before these documents
could be extracted from him, and then
they were brief and meager to the last
degree.
One day, when Sir Hugh Rose, he was
entertaining a gallant company to din.
ner during the crisis of the mutiny.
With the utmost sang froid he was de-
lighting those near him with one of his
best anecdotes. In the middle of it his
claimed: I'VE have captured two hun
dred rebels, SIR"
To him the general turned and, with
that elegant courtesy of manner on
which he prlded himself, serenely re-
piled: ''Thank you, sergeant"
But the man still remained. Again
interrupting his chief, he said: But
what are we to do with them, STRIP
''Ohr' replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, hang them, of course" and he
resumed his anecdote-
In little while Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle of another
story by the sergeant, who came in and
said: please, sir, we've hung the lot,
SIR"
The general turned, bowed slightly,
and in the sweetest manner lisped:
Thanks, sergeant, very many thanks"
and thenwent on with his anecdote as il
nothing had happened.
This story came to the ears of the
queen and she was SO angry that d
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.

accusing him of Ignorance etc., In
his interview as to the legislative
session the coming year. Anyone who
knows the two men, Lands and Nc
Neal, knows that in point of intel
ligence there is absolutely no compare
son. Once upon time Tom McNeal
wanted to be county attorney of Bar
Der county and Harry Lands was one
of the main men who made it impos-
sible for Thomas to gain the place,
hence the political grudge. Talk about
ignorancel Tom McNeal claims to
be a lawyer and can't make a depo-
sition after the seventh trial. Talk
about dead things. Tom McNeal is too
dead, politically, to skin. He wore
himself out running for Office and be-
ing defeated in this county aud moved
to Topeka, where according to reports.
he is becoming more unpopular every
day. He shows himself to be mem

SENATOR LANDS ON POLITICS,

While in Topeka last week, a State
Journal reporter interviewed our sem
ator on the political outlook. The
following is the Journals article as it
appeared in last Wednesday evenings
issue:
Senator Harry Lands, who represent
ed the Medicine Lodge district in the
upper house of the last legislature, is
IN Topeka today. Senator Lands is a
populst, but was known as one of the
ablest and most eloquent men in the
senate majority.
There must be session Of the leg
islature next winter" Senator Lands
said to a Journal reporter. 81 haye
taken the pains to look the matter up
and find that it is mandatory. II will
not be an extra session or called ses-
sion, but just as much regular session
as any of our biennial sessions. l am
glad and sorry both that this is so. /
am sorry because it will be the busiest
time of the year for me. But 1 AN
glad because 1t will give us chance to
BoI UONeTOOI MOETlllS scalp.
"How does the senate expect to get
Governor Morrill's scalp" the senator
was asked.
The most natural way in the world.
The governor will send us message.
lie will ask for various appropriations.
among other things to pay for all these
so-called Investigations and to replen.
ish the contingent fund. This will
give us the opportunity to publicly ask
the governor several questions. We
will ask HIM, Did you, or did you not,
increase the state accountants salary
from $4,000 to 50. 500 year; and if so.
by whose authorityY We will ask him
about the investigations and thous.
and and one other things. He will
answer them because he will have to.
or else plead guilty.
Everywhere hear the politicians
criticsing Governor Morrill, They call
him weak, and they are curslng Cy Le-
land for running the governors Office.
THIS Is all mistake. The governor is
not as weak as people think he is. He
Is not the putty man people think be
is. There is the same amount of cuss-
edness in him that there is in most
men. If the governor had been mex
perlenced in public life and the ways
of politics, it would be different, but
he's been in public life twenty years or
more He's no spring chicken.
II doubt If Governor Morrill, has act.
ed from a pure motive for ten years.
Ambition and sellshness are apparent
in everything he does. | fail to see
how any man who has had the rough
edges knocked of of him by contact
with business and politics, can look in
that man IS face and say be Is good
man
He Will be renominated next year
because the republican party Is power
less to do anything else. There is
nothing better the opposition could
want. The republican party is $4,000
votes weaker than it was last Novem-
Der, all on Morrill's account"

All, there, Mr.. Cresset, what do you
call Gov. MORRILL, You think Breiden-
thai is an ''Embezzler," but you don't
say anything about Morrill's stealing
money out of the state treasury to paw
his campaign expenses. You never
have mentioned the fact that Morrill,
stole the homes of the settlers of Wash
lngton county and turned the unfor-
tunate families out to root, hog or die.
Breidenthal has never taken one single
cent from the state that did not be-
long to him whereas Morrill, obtained
his wealth by robbery and plundering.
Now who has played the "Embezzler"
and thief. Reader, be your own Judge.
