Letter From j. d. Bradley, Who Is Lead
ing the Fight on Jobes.
Mr.. c. s. Jobes, the newly appointed
bank commissioner, is having a hard
time to restore peace in Harper county
The STATE JOURNAL has received a
large amount of correspondence relative
to the Jobes case, but unless there are
some new developments, will let the
matter rest with the publication of the
following letter from J. D. Bradley, the
lawyer who is leading the fight on Mr..
Jobes:
Attica, Kansas, April 90, 1895.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
Sir,-On reading your paper of the
18th inst. l find that the editor of the
Attica Tribune has attempted to give to
Mr. Jobes character abroad, while his
little paper at home is as silent as the
grave on the subject OF his discourse.
That little fellow does not know any
better than to write such statements. 1t
had to be done, and he was told to do it.
The good people of this community have
for some time frequently expressed them
selves as being sorry for that poor, simple
fellow. He does not know the history of
his subject Were it not that he repeated
statements before made by others in this
matter l would not reply. l will say:
1st, Mr.. George II. Young
QlQ not pay me 20 retainer
fee at the depot or elsewhere; end.
was not at the depot when service of
summons was had on him. Young re-
ceived copy of his answer at the time
it was drawn. he. was satisfied with it:
3rd, Commissioners Bradley, Campbell,
Gunkle, nor either OF them, made the
report stated as made, nor any part of it
stating as alleged in the communication.
Corners investigators report is filed in
case No 2,192. district court Harper
county, besides the 21 atfidavits with
drawn by Conner by permission of court,
originally fled and read with his report
at the time, according to Young's an
swer, yet unpublished. Conner expected
action by Jobes and asked the court to
let him retain said aftidavits and he did.
The final chapter in this matter is not yet
published complete. If the facts are
wanted, send down special investigator,
examine the records, and find the facts.
Young's answer was intended to contain
the facts as they existed and thought to
be proved. j. D. BRADLEY

200 MILLIONS OF FISH.
The Commission Expects to Distribute
That MANY This Year.


That Many This Year.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The fish COM
mission expects this year to almost
double the work of last year In 1894,
about four hundred million fish were
distributed. This year the division of
fish culture hopes to exceed that figure
by at least two hundred million and
probably three hundred million. The
work of the spring distribution is now at
its height
From the Ohio and Michigan stations
the commission has already taken about
12O,OOO,O0O white fish and about S,0OU.0U0
or 1O,OO0,O0O lake trout will be taken in
the next ten days. In the neighborhood
of 100000 brook trout will be taken
from the Colorado station.
These fish will be planted in the great
lakes and the surrounding inland lakes.
The Putin Bay station has reported the
collection of some 200, 100000 pike, perch
eggs from lake Erie. These will be dis
tributed in the lakes and also the public
waters of Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio,
Illinois and iowa. The work of disrri-
button will be begun at Duluth in ten
days.
A month ago the marine work of the
government was completed. The total
output of cod fry for distribution along
the main coast was 70,0O0,OOO. The lobster
and fiat fish work is also in preparation
in the east. Last year the commission
handled 80 million Holsters. This year it
is believed the number will be almost
doubled.
This brief summary outlines the work
OF the commission for this season relative
to the principal commercial fish Next
fall an attempt will be made to plan:
100000 yearling steel head trout from
the Pacific in the great lakes. These
will furnish a valuable addition to the
game and food fish of the lakes

DOESN'T NEED SYMPATHY
C. P. Huntington Receives Messages in
Regard to His Arrest.

NEW YORK, April %. - Mr.. c. P.
Huntington, president of the Southern
Pacific railroad, was not at all concerned
over his arrest, which took place in this
city yesterday, when seen in his office
today. He had received a number
of letters from friends by this mornings
mail containing expressions of sympathy
which Mr. Huntington did not seem
very much in need Of
This latest action" Nj. Hunting
ton said, alluding to his arrest,
sis only one of many attacks that
have been against me in the
west since l assumed the presidency of
the Southern Pacific railroad. At that
time and for some years before
the road had been a political in
stitution but l stopped all the
politics, and in so doing dropped a great
many from the pay rolls who were simply
hangers on. Ever since they have lost
no chance that came to them to annoy
me in every possible way"

ave have not forgotten the great riot
in which the Chicago anarchists MUIR
dered the policemen of that city. Start
ing in Texas it swept along the great
trunk lines where it did its -murderous
work, and then on up to Milwaukee
where it was met by governor who was
governor indeed. Grand old General
Rusk appeared, with the state militia at
his back, and ordered the unlawful as
semblage that blocked the thorough
fares to dispense. He held his watch
and gave the mob five minutes to clear
the streets. When they did not move
he commanded his men to shoot. Three
or four rioters were killed, and that
which had grown to the dimensions of
an insurrection was quelled right then
and there There was a governor con-
cerning whom Paufs words were true.
He beareth not the sword in vain The
symbol of civil rulership bestowed in
the hands of man like that is not mis-
placed
"Our governor throws down the sym-
Dol of his authority in the presence of
a local public sentiment that refuses
obedience to the laws of the state
which honors him with the maj
esty of his great office. The dig
nifty of great state must not
be maintained lest it should
cause a neighborhood quarrel in two or
three communities that refuse obedience
to the laws. Last fall the sovereign
rulers of Kansas, the people, put the
scepter of their power into the hands of a
man who has thrown it upon the ground.
And it becomes, like the rod which
Moses welded so potently while he held
it, crawling reptile, writhing under the
feet of those who would oppose the
peace and dignity of Kansas with their
petty brawls and their incipient anarchy.
He clearly ought to resume the scepter
or resign the office"
