GEORGE BEAUChAMP'S CASE
Efforts to Save Him From the State
Prison
Attorney Fredericks Is Laborin2 In His Behalf.
He Claims the CuIprit Is Not Altogether
Bad-Later Developments

Attorney Freoericks is endeavorng to
persuade the district attorneys office to

the war. After his death, some years
ago, the wife fell into dissolute company,
young Beauchamp secured a situation in
this city and came down from San Fran
cisco. His mother soon followed and be-
gan to importune her for money, wanting
the boy to give him practically all he re-
celved. Beauchamp finally tired Of her
drains upon his capital, so stole the two
bicycles for the purpose OF securing mon
ey with which to send her away from the
city. He succeeded in getting his moth
or away, who is claimed to be a serious
detriment to him. bnt was promptly
caught by the detectives for the larceny.
Mr.. Fredericks mas interested himself in
the boys case, having known him while
at Whittier some time ago. Fredericks
says he is a smurI boy, and will,no doubt,
reform if sent to the reform school.

Why Have They Changed Now, Very

swerIny.
Judge J. Y. Beskman of Arkansas City
was in Topeka last week and went around
to see his Republican critics who have
been belaboring him for being a free
coinage man.
He first supplied himself with a print
ed report of the Republican state con-
vention of 1890 and then went to the
most prominent politicians of his party
at the state house and said: "You gen
tlemen have accused me of departing
from the unalterable principles of the
Republican party when l advocate the
free coinage of silver at ratio of Is to l.
You say you are in favor of honest
money and that we free silver fellows are
repudiators. You say that we are no
longer in touch with the never wavering
financial theories of the party of Lincoln
and of Grant Now, gentleman, l wan t
to call your attention to the Republican
state platform of 1890, which reads as
follows upon the question of silver:
"'The practical operation of the silver
act, now in force, recently passed by
Republican majority. and opposed by
Democratic majority, in both houses of
congress, is rapidly increasing the value
of silver, is a good step in the right d.
rection, but we, the Republicans of Kan
sas, demand free coinage of silver,
measure strongly opposed and vigorously
denounced by the late Democratic ad-
ministration, led by exPresident Grover
Cleveland
This resolution was reported to the
convention unanimously by committee
of thirty five of the most prominent Re-
publicans of the state. The chairman of
this committee was Major J. K. Hudson,
who, believe, wrote this plank, but
who anyhow gave it q warm editorial
Enforcement in the next mornings issue
of his Daily Capital Elk Governor
Gearge T. Anthony, Colonel Dick
Blue and other prominent Repub-
licans made speeches, indorsing this
plank. and the platform con-
tanning it was finally passed by a unan-
imous vote of the convention.
"Now, gentlemen, l want to know why
you have all turned traitor to this clearly
| enunciated doctrine of Republican finan-
cial policy. Why is it that Major Hud-
son in his Daily Capital has revolted
along with the rest of you against this
| finahcial plank which received the in
dorsement of the party five years ago?
Are we dust of the field to be blown
hither and thither by every titful breeze?
81 must say to you that l am grieved
beyond expression that SO many of you
! have proved truant to the principles of
| your party. We people who stand firm
as the rocks upon the wise declarations of
our party conventions are looking upon
your treason with horror and dismay. Get
right, gentlemen, get right"

Now just let this go, for once and for
all: Nobody believes that Governor
Morrill, stole or would steal from the state
of Kansas. A man may pretend to SO be-
lieve, but he lies. We will go further
No man who knows him will believe
that Breideuthal would steal from the
state. He may have withheld money,
may have used state money to carry on
the campaign, but we believe it was all
paid back and we don't believe Breiden-
thai stole or would steal a cent-Howard
Courant
The editor of the Courant, who is a
thorough going Republican, is growing
broader minded every day. When men
believe and admit that villainy is not
confined to any political party, and that
there are honest men in all parties, we
arrive at point where all good citizens
can get together and work for the good
of all the people. When men will not
stick by their "party," right or wrong,
we begin to glimpse the good time COM
ing when the Independent thinking vot-
ers will settle political questions and no!
leave them to politicians.

posed gathering by newspapers in sym
patty with lawlessness in this state
almost makes US cancel our engagement
in order to contribute our mite to the To-
peka gathering. If there ever was
time when men who love principle
better than position" should assert
themselves, it is now. It is a critical
time for the cause of temperance and
sobriety in Kansas, and for the Republi-
can party. We believe that there are
about one hundred thousand Republi-
cans in Kansas who are bitterly opposed
to the return of the saloon and the pre-
valence of joints. We think thers are
about twenty-five thousand who are
on the other side, and about
$4,000 who are Indifferent The ma
chinery of the party is in the hands of
the latter classes. No use of mincing
matters. No use of denying the facts in
the case or trying to Disguise them
The question is will the tail be permit
ted to wag the dog? Will the minority
be permitted to "run" the majority? If
the Republican party ever surrenders to
the rum element it is a goner. But it
will not surrender. The great throbbing
heart of the party beats for law, temper
ance, sobriety, good government We
regret that this convention was called on
the Fourth of July, when SO many peo-
pie who would otherwise be there will
have other engagements. But still we
hope the meeting will be a great success
as it should be, and that wise counsels
will prevail in its deliberations. While it
is non-partisan we urge Republicans
particularly to attend it.

WHY ELECT HUMPHREY?
Republicans of the Eighth Judicial Dis
trict Have Majority.

Republicans of the Eighth Judicial Dis
trict Have a Majority.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
The master stroke that Republicans
made last winter in political sense, by
adding Marion county to the Eighth ju-
dicial district, previously composed of
Dickinson, Geary and Morris, is proba-
bly, not generally comprehended by Re-
publicans themselves. Their object may
not have been political at all; but what :
ever their object was the result has been
to make the district as now constituted
overwhelmingly Republican.
The Republicans have heretofore lack
ed ten votes of clear working majority
in the three counties of the old district,
but the newly added county of Marion
has such a large Republican majority
that the new district has a comfortable
majority of 392 Republican votes over
all. and Republican plurality over the
Populists of 1879 Does it not, therefore,
seem strange that leading Republicans
should be willing to surrender the judge
ship to their hereditary enemies, the
Democrats? Here, for instance, is the
way the Manhattan Nationalist talks
about it:
THE great Marion socialist, Judge
Doster, is likely to be the candidate of
the Populists against Judge Humphrey
for judge of the Eighth district 1t
would fill our hearts with gladness to
see Mr.. Humphrey thresh the everlast-
ing sawdust out of the socialist in this
coming race"
And the strangeness of such proposed
action is greatly augmented when it is
considered that Judge Humphrey is a
lifelong Democrat and present sup.
porter of Grover Cleveland's gold bug
policy. STALWARr
