WHY s TEWART SHOULD CO.

VII SIZE W AIGL ChOOAO eTO
THE OIathe Mirror assumes to speak
for the Republicans of Johnson county
to the extent of demanding the removal
of Superintendent Stewart from his po-
sition in the Olathe institution for the
deaf and dumb 1t prints no less than
ten alleged reasons for this demand.
some of which are real funny.
The first is that Mrs. Lease compa red
him with Jesus Christ. If Mrs. Lease
did this. of course it renders Mr.. Stewart
totally unfit for his position.
The second charge is that he refused
to take the advice of fusion Democrat
regarding a minor appointment and
would not allow a Republican physician
to come in and experiment on the pupils.
A man who doesn't know that no one
but Republican physician is competent
to cure the sick is not fit to hold a place
in the pay of Kansas redeemed"
The third charge is that he inf uenced
the parents of the pupils to ask for his
retention. This was clearly taking an
undue advantage of those same parents
and renders him unfit for the place.
Fourth. He had Populist speeches
translated for the pupils aud totally ig-
nored Democratic. Republican, Prohib-
itionist and Referendum speeches. Such
Partially as this cannot be condemned
too severely.
The fifth charge is that when his
friends and relatives have called upon
him, instead of insisting on their
bringing their luncheon with them he
has invited them to eat at the institution.
This is serious.
The sixth offense charged is that he
published other than Republican news
paper 1t is clear that man who is so
utterly perverse and misguided is not fit
to have charge of the education of those
unfortunates
The seventh charge is weak 1t is that
he retained Democratic teachers while
representing that they were not Demo
Gratis This alone cannot be considered
sufficient ground for his dismissal for
how is anybody to know a Democrat
now?
The eighth is cIincher. 1t is that he
was a member of the ON aha conven-
ton.
Ninth; he should be removed because
the governor and the Republican speak
ers all said that the Pops would be
cleaned out It is difficult to see what
Mr. Stewart has to do with these broken
Republican promises, but perhaps it is
all right
The tenth and final reason is that he is
Populist This of itself is sufficient.
Nobody who is not a Republican is fit
to teach children to read and write. The
perversity of the people in this matter is
remarkable There are actually teach
ers employed in the Republican public
schools of Republican Kansas, paid with
Republican money, who are themselves
not Republicans. The Mirror will doubt
less get around to them later.

The boast Of the Topeka Capital that it pays
more postage than all other Topeka daties
combined, only proves the meagerness of its
local circulation as compared with that of the
STATE JOURNALS no postage is paid on any
circulation within Topeka or Shawnee county.
The STATE JOURNALS local circulation is far
and away ahead of the combined circulation Of
all the other Topeka daiiies.
The circulation of the Topeka Daily STATE
JOURNAL in the towns near by and tributary to
Topeka is very large, as the evening trains In
various directions carry the STATE JOURNAL,
giving its readers the first and latest Associated
Press and state news of the day.

The Government Expected to Provide
that Much for the Hawaiian Cable.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-Col z. S..
Spalding, who recently received a fran
chise from the Hawaiian government to
lay a cable from Honolulu to this city
will leave for Washington tonight TO Sc
cure the cooperation of this government
in the undertaking. Col. Spalding will
call upon the cabinet officers with view
to clearing the way for presentation of
his plans and demands to congress in
Decemb Der next
In order to float successfully the enter
PRISE he calculated nearly $4,000, 900
will be required, and that yearly in
come of 100000 will provide all the sta
lions, equipments, rights of way, cable
ship and working capital
Toward the income the Hawaiian gov
eminent has pledged $4,000 year for
twenty years, and the substantial aid"
referred to in Col. Spaldings' contract
with that government to be fur
nished by the United States gov
eminent means 100000 for twenty years
This in all would be $300,000 annually
and the expectation is that the receipts
after the first year or so would be 800
600 more, total of 100000 would thus
be secured
When the second subsidy has been
pledged a stock company will be organ
lied. This company will have a stock
of 100000. One-Quarter of the stock
will be raised by residents of the Ha-
waiian islands, one quarter by the cham
Der of commerce of San Francisco which
has already been pledged and the re-
mainder in the east and in Europe.
Col Spalding expects to be able to
manufacture and lay the cable within
eighteen months from the time Of plac-
ing the order for it.

FLAG OF TOPEKA.

More Suggestions for a Municipal Flag
for the Capital City.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
My idea of a municipal flag for Tope-
ka is coat of arms in purple on pale
yellow back ground. Yellow is the har-
vest color. It represents sunshine, rip
ening corn and wheat and the Kansas
golden sunfower. The coat of arms
ought to be something representative of
picture of the state house surrounded by
a wreath of sunfowers might be a good
thing. An artist might suggest some
thing better. MEMO.
