Politics and Crime,

A report of the prison congress held
in Denver September II, says a sensa-
tlon was created by the reading of a
paper on Politics and Crime" written
Dy Amos G. aWrner, professor of eco
nomics and social sciences in the Lee
land Stanford university of California,
and read by John N. Dryden, of Kear-
ney, Neb IF the state itself Is under
the Influence of criminals" said the
doctor, boldly plunging into his sub
ject, chow can 1t hope to reform crimi-
nails? Setting thief to catch thief
was an old time doctrine, but the plan
Of setting a thief to reform thief has
never yet been defended. The repre-
sentatives Of the state with which GRIM
irals are most frequently brought into
contact are policemen, police justices,
sheriffs, sheriffs' deputies and 1ailkeep-
ers, only shade, If at all, better than
themselves. The hope of the cure of
criminals largely lies in curative treat
ment in the early stages. Petty of
tenders and those on the verge of crimi-
nality in large cities seldom or never
get beyond this line of guards and live
more or less in their presence. The
police, to them, represent the state
The professor Illustrated his mean
ing by giving details of the treatment
given tramps gamblers, prostitutes and
the criminal classes generally.
The paper started warm discussion
and brought out number of protests.
Warden w. E. Hale of San Quentin,
Cal, who, for six years prior to his as
Stunning charge of the prison, had been
sheriff Of Alameda county, said that he
wanted to brand some of the allega-
tions as to corruption in California as
false. Mr.. Hale thought 1t was shame
full for a man Of the standing of the
professor to make such sweeping and
general charges and ne could not sit
still under them.
1t was the sentiment of the delegates
that a man Of Professor Warmers
standing would not make such broad as
sertions unless he was able to back them
up. The paper was ordered filed and
thanks sent to the professor.

MORRILL's RECORD REVIEWED.
A Few Pointed Notes in Relation to His
Public Life.

"Thank God, there Is no calamity in
Kansas in 1852 Such was the excla-
nation Of Governor E. N. Morrill, at the
cid settlers meeting at Nortonville
Wednesday afternoon. The governor
then related some of his early exper-
fences in Kansas. He forgot to mention
how he had been offered a lieutenant's
commission by Colonel ID. R. Anthony,
who was in command of his regiment at
the time, and how, after considering it
over night, declined to accept it be
cause ne was unable to stand up before
the enemy in a fight" It was then he
asked for quartermaster's commission.
He also forgot to mention anything
about that quit claim deed ne secured
from the old Denver & st. Joe Railroad
company, which was afterwards the
means of squeezing so many Of the old
settlers who had returned home from
the war and who were trying to make
homes for themselves. He somehow
overlooked the fact that the invalid pen
sion bill, to which Kansans have at
tached his name, was introduced by a
member Of congress from Indiana. He
also inadvertently overlooked his IN
difference to the just complaints made
by the veterans who had found resting
place in the Leavenworth Soldiers home,
and how ne has sanctioned the tyranny
of the martinets who used the worn out
veterans as so many cattle. In his
thankfulness to God he forgot the lies
he had told during the campaign
when he was in the redeeming
business. the pledges he made to
prohibtionists and the promises
he made to ti-prohibitionists. In fact,
he seemed to have blank mind for all
except few words Of flattery which in
his dotage he mistook for statesman

In speaking Of the meeting of the
executive committee of the state tenn
perance union, to be held in Topeka,
September "a, the Kansas Temperance
Monitor, the new prohibition paper,
says:
1--WE win say In the way of forerunner,
that from information cleaned from relia-
bic sources we are led to believe that an
attempt will be made TO use the influence
OF the Union for political purposes and to
farther the selfish ends Of certain ones
who are willing to sell the cause OF tenn
perance and principle for a small politi-
cal Job"
The following editorial references from
the same paper to the manner of en-
forcement Of the law indicate that the
traing and careless methods adopted by
the administration have been noted by
the union ana will receive attention at
the meeting:
Some of Governor Aforrills enemies
think he will not enforce the prohibitory
law In Leavenworth. let alone the whole

"a coat Of whitewash Is looked for by
some of our state officers that have been
overlooking their prohibition obligations.

business. They should call his attention

MORRILL, HAS A POOR MEMORY.

He FOrgets to Include In His Election Ex-
pense Statement Some Important Items.
The election law passed in 1893 pro-
vides, among other Things, that each
candidate for Office must file with the
county clerk q statement of his cam
paign expenses duly attested by affida-
Wit. Candidates have been as a rule
making an attempt at least to comply
with the provisions OF this law. Mr.
Morrill, made an attempt to comply
with its provisions but public senti-
ment" in Hiawatha was evidently such
that 1t could not be strictly enforced.
Then In addition to that his friends
say that his memory IS bad. At any
rate his sworn statement of his election
expenses filed with the county clerk of
Brown county fails to include the sum
of fifty dollars which he paid to two
for work which they were
to perform for him in the campaign.
The question is. did he forget to in
clude these items or was he waiting for
a. good opportunity to reimburse him
self out Of the contingent fundc It
might be OF interest to the people of
to know what was the cause
Of his failure TO do so. If the governor

SCHOOL FUND MATTERS.
The Committee win Finish Its Work Sep
temhAP 26

tembeF 26.
The permanent school fund investi~
eating committee has adjourned and
gone home to return the 26th to COM
plete the work and file a report 1t
was suggested that the report might
be made prior to adjournment but Rep
resen'tative Hilton demurred. He
wanted transcript of the evidence
He Is the only Populist on the commit
tee and he desired the presence of Sem
ator billiard, the only democrat, who is
regarded by both democrats and re-
publicans as safe, conservative man
and whose advice would be on the line
of fairness.
Mr.. Hilton said today that he was
willing to sign report setting forth
the facts as the evidence showed them.
He had found enough to censure the
Popullst school fund commissioners
for purchasing the Hamilton county
bonds, and the evidence was equally
bad against their republican predeces-
sors who had purchased the Scott
bonds. The Populists had wasted $10,-
900 on bonds that were in litigation.
The Hamilton county bonds in ques-
tion were sold by two Topeka redeem
ers, George Crane and Attorney Lind
sey who clipped the coupons, thereby
leading the Populist board to believe
the interest was being kept up on the
bonds.
The republicans had invested $142,000
in bonds of a county that had less than
!, 500 inhabitants and was too poor to
pay and whose Indebtedness was in
excess of the statutory limit. He
regards the purchase as criminal negli-
gence, If nothing more, and ne wants
the committee to put It's seal of con-
demnation upon the transaction as a
warming to future school fund commits
sloners. Such report he thinks,
would amount to command to future
commissioners not to buy bonds of i'm
poverished communities or which may
already have overissued securities. To-
peka spectators already had tried to
unload $4,000 of doubtful Lane county
bonds on the school fund, and at one
time had negotiated the sale Of $4,000
of the lot.
Mr.. Hilton hopes that the commit
tees report will be unanimous, but he
proposes to state what he thinks Of the
Scott county purchase and Of the grab
by spectators of $1,OSS interest due to
the fund on the recent purchase of $685.

must make a minority report.

No Democratic Convention.

Secretary w. H. L. Pepperell, of the
state central committee, has called a
meeting Of the committee to meet in this
city October A. AS the following day is
the last day that certificate of nomi-
nation can be filed it will be impossible
for a convention to- act and get name
ON the ticket after the meeting of the
committee. The committee may see fit
to name candidate, but that is hardly
probable
Ex-Governor Click, Railroad Commits
sioner J. G. Lowe, Eugene Hagan and
others are not very well satisfied with
the action of the secretary. Mr.. Lowe
in discussing the matter said that Mr..
Orr and others of his stripe dictated the
action out of fear that the convention
would endorse free silver.

EE WAS CRUELTY BEATEN
By His Teacher at the Reform School and
His Back Covered with Stripes.

His Back Covered with Stripes.
David Denman, boy about is years
Ok age, was sent to the reform school a
year or two ago because Of the fact that
he and his step-father could not get
along together. He was not particu-
larly bad boy. His former teachers
speak well of him. Tt seems though
tIiat he had incurred the enmity Of the
teacher who had charge of him. Life
was made so much of burden to him
that ne has frequently run away. Last
week he escaped for the eighth time.
He jumped from second story window
and eluded the officers. After calling on
his aunt in this city he went to the
Santa Fe and started for his home at
Argentine While on his way home
riding on the brake bars of q car his
strength failed him and he fell under
the moving train to be cut to pieces.
His story, as told to his aunt in this
city, which 1t Is said he substantlated
by exhibiting to her his back, was
story Of extreme cruelty such as would
be a disgrace among barbarians. After
one of his escapades he was punished
by being laid out on table on his face,
four boys having hold Of each of his
members TO securely hold him and the
teacher whipped him In such way as
to leave a very large number of ugly
stripes on his back. He was In such a
condition as to indicate very brutal and
cruel treatment. His aunt states that
she has no doubt that his weakened
physical condition was the cause of his
falling under the train.
The ordinary boy needs punishment
from time to time, no matter whether he
is In q reformatory or at home, but there
Is no excuse on earth for brutal treat
lment under any circumstances. 1t Is
hard to believe that this story can be
true In an institution where boys
recreation is cut off for fifteen days for
getting on the grass 1t might probably
occur. In this same institution the
breaking Of a dish, 1t is stated. Is pun
iShed In the same way and to the same
extent. Would it not be we'll to have an
honest investigation Of this case? The

and ascertain what can be done to i'm

Things, Especially Whisky.
Among the many curios attending the
court of claims of citizenship of the Chick
asaw Nation at Tishomingo the other day
was an Indian, Neshoba Lokna or, as he
Is commonly called, yellow Wolf" who
was born in Mississippi, near the Alabama
line, at place called Buzzard Roost,
about Is miles from Tuskumbia, little
over 113 years ago. Yellow Wolf Is straight
as an arrow rides horseback wherever he
goes and generally rides very spirited
pony. This he mounts in true Indian
style with single bound from the ground,
and on the right side of the animal.
Meeting him, one would never believe
that he was more than 20 years of age, so
easy and graceful Is his bearing. There il
only one person living near here that knew
him when boy, and that is an old negress
who lives near Darkville, in the Choctaw
nation, supposed to be 120 years old. There
are a number of men here IS and 80 years
of age that have known this man all their
lives, and who say that he was q man
grown when they were children.
He came to the nation in 1873 from
Mississippi. He Is what the Indians call
m "alicche," or doctor, formerly looked
npon by his tribe as being endowed with
superhuman skill In the construction of
certain compounds and the consultation
with oraoles and omens that enabled him
to either bring about events or prophesy
concerning their fulfillment IL Ia said Of
Yellow Wolf that he can find anything
that Is hidden. In his younger days he
was very dissipated, and 1t was impossible
to hide whisky so he could not find It,
Barring accidents, he looks az though he
