SOME Truly Good people got thirsty in

widow was dragged out of her house by
her hair, and wild hooting mob follow
ed her down to the Kansas avenue
bridge, where rope was put around her
neck and she was swung off. strangula-
ton soon followed. Afterwards the Sun
day school children were armed with re-
volvers and allowed to fire at the body.
All the ministers then went and burned
the widows house, and the site was COW
cred with quicklime. When the Globe
starts out to tell lie why doesn't it tell
a good one?

TIE CITY Is NOT LIABLE.

Ex-City Attorney Tillotson Says There
is No Danger of Double Payment.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
Absence from the city prevented my
seeing your issue of last Tuesday at that
time l observe that a member of the
city council is quoted as saying that, ia
one of the waterworks cases | had filed
a pleading admitting a liability on the
part of the city for something. In this
he was in error. During my official term
there was no waterwOrkS case pending
in any court that sought to nix any La
bility upon the city of Topeka. Hence
have never admitted any liability on
the part of this city.
Permit me another word in this con-
nection 1t has been published that the
city is probably liable to be required to
nav S105 900 for water rent a second time
because payment had for many years
been made to the wrong parties. This is
another error.
Sec. 8 of the ordinance No. 500, being
the water works ordinance, says: "Should
the said Topeka Water Supply company
in the construction of its works deem it
expedient to issue first mortgage bonds
of said company, and said bonds to bear
interest at a rate not exceeding seven
per cent per annum, then the said Topeka
Water Supply company agrees that the
seven thousand dollars to become due
from said city for the aforesaid hydrants'
rental from year to year as aforesaid,
shall be considered and set aside
as net earnings of said Topeka
Water Supply company, and the
same shall be paid over semi-annually as
aforesaid by said city to the fiscal agent
of the state of Kansas, in the city of New
York, for the payment exclusively of the
interest coupons of said bonds as the
same may from time to time become due
and payable, and to provide sinking
fund for the payment of said bonds"
There could be no liability on the part
of the city to make the above payments
to the fiscal agent until the city had been
notified of the issue of first mortgage
bonds as above provided Such notice
was not given until the commencement
of the action by w. B. Strong in the
United States court. | notified the
mayor and council to make no further
payments to the Water company unless
ordered to do so by the court, and that
advice was followed. So it will not re-
quire much care on the part of the city
to avoid all danger of paying twice for
rent of hydrants

EWING HERBERT CANDID.
He Wants an Office and Doesn't Mind
Saying So.

He Wants an Office and Doesn't Mind
Saying SO.
Editor Ewing Her bert says in the last
issue of the Brown County World:
One of the freshest instances of Cy
LeIand's jobbery is the way he manipu-
lated the last judicial convention. After
voting the Doniphan county delegation
to suit himself, he asked Sheriff Brown,
who complained: "What the hell he
was going to do about it?" Speaking
for ourself personally, which has moth
ing to do with the case, except to ag-
gravate it trife, we think that Mr.. Le-
land has been willing that SOL Miller
should abuse Us as he always has, and
we also think that Mr.. Leland's infiu-
ence prevented Gov. Morrill, from recog-
nizing the merit of the editor of his old
home paper by giving him an Office. A
word from Leland would have stopped
Miller's mud singing and word to the
governor would have got US something.
Most men will agree that we deserve a
good paying office, something like Old
Linen Pants gets of every Republican
governor We suppose that a howl will
go up that we swami office" OF course
we do, or rather we did want a place
We want anything that will help US
along in our honest efforts to lift a
mountain of debts and print a good
stiff Republican paper. Are we not as
deserving as many other Republican
voters and workers who have been re-
warded time and again and are not at all
needy? Are we not as worthy of favor
as the senators and representatives who
have created Offices and hogged them?
Is there a single one of the editors in
the state who have been given places
who are more loyal to the party or print
better paper than We do? Is there one
who spends more time and money or ex-
erts more enterprise to make his paper
appreciated? If so just name them and
we will subside.

HE DIDN'T MEAN IT.
George B. Gallon Whom Lincoln
Post is After
TELLS Ills SIDE OF THE AFFAIR
.. Flag in n Het Quarrel With Oscar
Swayze, But Didn't Mean Them.

He Uttered the words Against the U.
.. Flag in n Het Quarrel with Oscar
Swayze, But Didn't Mean Them.
George B. Gallon, the man who has in
CURED the enmity of Lincoln Post because
he made some decidedly uncompliment-
airy remarks about the United States flag,
says that he had no intention of insulting
either the government or the flag but
was exas perated by Oscar Swayze who is
a fellow clerk in the Santa Fe auditor
Office. A reporter called on Mr.. Gallon
to report what he had to say about the
matter.
Gallon is a genteel looking English
man about 35 years old. He lives three
miles west of the city nd is clerk of the
school board in the Scudder district. He
has taken out the first papers declaring
his intention and intends to take out his
final papers soon.
Mr. Gallon gives the following version
OF the occurrence: 'The whole thing is
the result of personal squabble which
arose during the noon hour four or five
weeks ago.
"swayze denounced every Englishman
as - foreigner, and wished
they were all in -, because they came
to this country full of hate for his flag.
81 was very angry, and l retorted,
s. you and your flag. Go to - and
take your dirty rag with you
'FThe idea of insulting either the
United States or the flag never for one
moment entered into my mind and those
who are acquainted with me know that
do not harbor any such feelings.
Il have made my home here, and am
grateful for the means which this coun-
try has afforded me for making a respec-
table livelihood. The trouble is the re-
suit of the enmity which Oscar Swayze
bears the English generally and me in
particular.
81 have always declined to have any
thing to do with politics in the Offices,
and for refusing to do 80 seem to have
incurred Mr.. Swayze's extreme displeas-
ure.''
Auditor McKibben says that Gallon is
a very excellent clerk.
